Chuck in the Morning 9/2 H3: Introducing The Showdown! We're fangirling over Mike and it's a big day! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you. I have a song for this.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I forgot. Completely slipped my mind.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Good one, too. Really good one.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: If you want to tell it to me now, I
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: can get it.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you look it up while I handle some details.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: It's called Showdown, and it is, oh, man, I don't
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: even remember who the artist is, but it is from
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: the Kingpin soundtrack. And so, yes, it is called Showdown.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I did want to bring that back, and I forgot
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: to tell you. And it'll really liven up the segment,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you. Welcome into our 8 o'clock hour, our
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: third hour here on this hump day. And if you
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: heard our previous segment, I certainly don't want to recap
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: at all. We're getting ready for the brand-new green jacket draft.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: It's called Showdown.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I like drafts.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: We like to preview major sporting events. We preview it
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: through a draft, and then we spend time all season,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: sort of bickering back and forth as to who has
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: the better teams. The Green Jacket draft, we retired. We
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: start with the showdown. The showdown is is going to
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: be the same draft style, but we're going to incorporate
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: a listener who we're going.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: To meet in a moment. And also Anders Hurst is here. Hello, sir. I'm,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you know, just excited to draft. Yeah. It's infectious.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: You know, I didn't normally used to be this big
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: of a draft guy, but as soon as I walked
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: into this room, I'm like, damn, I love drafts now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: You can call it the war room. You know, I'm
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: going to throw out the record so I can rub
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: it in everybody's faces. Ashley won the first green jacket season.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I won the next two. Bucky won the last one.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: And so the overall final totals, 33 and a half
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: green jackets won by Chuck. Second place, Ashley with 22
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: and a half. Bucky and Kid tied with 19 and
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: a half. Ooh. But Bucky was winning the last two
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: that we didn't get to finish. So we'll say he
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: finishes the tiebreaker ahead of Kidd and finishes in third.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Spencer Hawes won one.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It was one for one. There you go. And Anders
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Hurst won two. There you go. Two for two. Let's go.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Two and a half because him and I did one together.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I gave him the list and he drafted for me.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Actually, it was one and a half. Okay. One and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a half because you got one and a half. We
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: were together on it. I didn't mean to take it
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: away from you.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I was trying to add to yours.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: It was because I was wondering why I had one
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: and two down here. But yes, that's what it was.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: You tied one and then you won or you teamed
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: up with one and then you won one.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Right okay so he's got a pretty good record and
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: uh but now now it's a whole new era now
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: we enter the showdown era and that's where the fun
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: begins now that's going to include uh a caller that's
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: going to draft with us to preview sporting events and
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: we have our caller on the line ashley who do
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: we have joining us today for the first ever showdown
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: draft we have jeff jeff hey jeff what's going on.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Hey i'm doing pretty good how are you guys.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Are you a college football ringer.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: I'm a Husky fan, not a Duck fan.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, that helps.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: That might change the way he drafts.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. Yeah, you'll draft well then.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, it probably helps.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: A lot smarter than what we had probably bargained for. Yep,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: that's the truth. All right, Jeff, well, here's how it works. Look,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: we're going to all pick a Heisman Trophy winner. We're
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: all going to pick a national champion. We're all going
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: to pick a Big Ten champion. and explain why we're
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: picking these things. And then we're going to pick the
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Huskies record. And just from the 12 games, don't try
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: to get cute and pick playoff.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Wins or bowl wins or anything like that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Just from their 12 regular season scheduled games, we want
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: a win total for the Washington Huskies.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Now, we're not going to do this in order.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: You just got to prioritize what you are most confident
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: about and then make that pick when your turn comes up.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And that's how that's going to operate.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Then, obviously, at the end of the year, whoever gets
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: the most picks right will win the showdown and will
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: get to pose with the trophy. You don't get to
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: take it home, though. You just get to pose with it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: It's like the Stanley Cup. Just that important.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: Which means that Jeff probably gets to come into the
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: studio so he can pose with the trophy.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think that's what we should do. That's the only
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: way to do it. Does he get to drink beer
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: out of it? He can bring a beer.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: A seltzer, some wine, vodka, whatever he wants.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Spoon with it. He can propose to it. I don't care.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: You just can't pee in it like you mentioned earlier.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: No peeing in it. I mean, you could. We don't
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: advise you.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: We're on YouTube now. We're on YouTube now.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: All right, Ashley, the last thing we need then, now
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: that we got Jeff, now that we got Anders, now
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: that we got a new name, we got a trophy,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: is the order in which we are drafting.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Anders has the first pick.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Talking about beginner's luck.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I have the second pick. Jeff has the third pick.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And Chuck is in fourth.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: That's fine. All right.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: This is one of the drafts that we've done in
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the past, though, where I don't usually feel like I
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: got my thunder taken away from me. My lawn gets
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: mowed the least, I think, in this month.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Okay. But we'll see. I say that famous last words, right?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: All right, Anders. So where are we going to start?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: What are you most confident about this upcoming college football season?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go UW record first.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be 9-3.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: 9-3.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: All right. Taking the nine wins. Is that what you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: would have taken, Ashley?
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Would I have taken that first? If I was taking
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: UW wins, I would have taken nine. Yes, I had
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: that as my number one on wins.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I would have too, but I think we're in the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: same page here. Wouldn't have been your first pick?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I'm not broken up that it is off the board
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: first overall. But, of course, now you might get territorial
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: over other UW options that remain. So Jeff might have
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: just got a little nervous there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Jeff, how many, what was your, well, don't even tell us.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I don't want to know. We'll wait until your pick.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Don't reveal your draft strategy.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, you're up next. What are you going
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to pick?
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know how great I, I mean, I know
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: I feel confident in this pick, but at the same time, right?
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: I'm going to go to the Heisman winner right away
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: and give me CJ Carr, please.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: CJ Carr. Oh, somebody listened to Rick Newhouse.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And a lot of other people who really think he's excellent.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: The betting favorite. Yeah, how did that happen? I don't know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of really good candidates. Yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: there are. But C.J. Carr is carrying some kind of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: momentum into this year. I mean, it's not quite arch madness.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: And it's not, you know, Beano Cook picking Ron Paulus
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: to win seven Heismans his freshman year. Sure. But he
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: definitely has a lot of momentum right now, C.J.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Carr.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: And so Ashley's taking him off the Heisman board. Also,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: does not break my heart. Wasn't going to be my
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: first Heisman pick.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Me either. All right, Jeff, you are up. Here we go.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Our first ever listener pick in one of our drafts.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: You got a lot of pressure, a lot of responsibility there, Jeff.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go Big Ten champion, and I'm going
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: to go Ohio State Buckeyes.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That was going to be my pick. Oh, there you go. See,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he did mow your lawn. He did mow your lawn.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I don't like the listener aspect of this.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: You're the one who came up with it. You can
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: only blame yourself.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Well, let's just make them pick fourth every time.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: You can mow his lawn, though, on the way back.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I can. That is a possibility.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: You'll probably mow mine, too.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Ohio State Big Ten champions. That would have been my pick.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know why they're not a little more clear
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: cut in that. But I think that has to do
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: with Oregon. They are saying that Dan Lanning's Oregon Ducks,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: this is his most complete roster. I knew Jeff wasn't
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: going to take Oregon. He pretty much announced that as
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: soon as we met him.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go ahead and take the Oregon Ducks
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: as my Big Ten champion. And I am also going
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: to take the other UW number that I have in
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: mind because I don't want seven or ten. I'm going
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: to take UW with eight wins this year. So those
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: are my two picks. I don't like doing it, but
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: if Oregon's, I mean, we've already seen them be mighty.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: We have to acknowledge it and accept it. And if
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: people are saying that this is their best team yet,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: then if it's not Ohio State, I don't want the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: third choice out of the Big Ten Conference.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So give me the Ducks and give me UW.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Actually, those back-to-back picks doesn't make me sound very confident. Yeah,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Husky fan's pretty angry, right? Yeah, what are you doing?
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: At least you don't go with seven, because then they'd
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: be like, well, you are a jerk with your UW hat.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with my UW hat on today. Yeah, right?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I even took my new car, and I took all
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: of the interior. I've got all these fancy options.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Like, Bucky can make his Tesla fart, and I apparently
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: can change the color of my... So I changed it
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: to purple this week.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Nice. Good for you.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I'm on board right now. All right, Jeff, you're back up.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Feel free to critique either of my picks. I mean,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: that's part of the whole drafting experience is to give
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: your friends crap.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm glad you took Oregon, and I didn't get
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: stuck with them.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: That's a great strategy, honestly. All right, well, where are
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you going to go with your selection here?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go national champion, and I am going
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: to take Notre Dame.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. Then I didn't have to.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame is the selection here. Another person that might
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: have been listening to Rick Neuheisel yesterday. They seem to
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: be the chic pick right now to start the season,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and C.J. Carr is the chic pick to win the
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Heisman Trophy. I mean, I think the national championship pick.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Is very clouded. I don't really see a clear-cut winner.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: But if I were to.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Take my national championship pick, I think Jeff's probably picked
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: my pocket again. I probably would have gone Notre Dame.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: And I think it's just because I'm being swayed by
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: so many people.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Like Rick Neweisel that I respect.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm getting a nod from Andrew. Yeah, I mean,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that's it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I actually had a list of about eight teams for
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: the national championship. So do I.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: It was hard to come up with one.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Well, they should have a major chip on their shoulder,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: which is another aspect about this, you know, after last
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: year's shunning. So Notre Dame is the pick to, Jeff,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: to win the national title. All right, Ashley, you have
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: taken your Heisman pick. Uh, you would be on your
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: third UW pick. You would be on your third big
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: 10 team pick or your set or your top, uh,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: or excuse me, the second national championship.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: And I'm going to go, I'm going to go with
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: the national champion and I am going to take the
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: Ohio state Buckeyes.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's going to Ohio state. Another good pick. I think.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Uh, yeah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Um, and suddenly, uh, There is no chance I'm taking
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Oregon and both. I'm just going to tell you right now.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be funny if you had to.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You can try to manipulate it and force me into it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: That is not going to happen later in the draft.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I'm revealing some of my cards. I refuse to pick
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: them for both. I like Ohio State as national champion.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I think they have the best player in the country.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Julian Sand with a year full of experience under his belt.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: He is once again going to have a legit receiving core,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: maybe the best receiving core, because they've got another superstar freshman,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Chris Henry's son, Chris Henry Jr. is a freshman there.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: So they're going to be loaded. They got a running
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: back named Bo Jackson.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: That's a pretty good name. Yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So, yeah, I think I can't argue with Jeff
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: or Ashley, either one of them with their national championship picks,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: but I'm also, if this makes sense, not bothered by it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I still feel good then I'm going to get a
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: real good contender.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: See, I'm not either.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Cause for me, there was three things in both the
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: UW record and the big 10 champion that I was like,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: I have to get one of these three.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: And I can kind of live with other things with
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: national champion and Heisman. And that leaves me with my
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: pick and my big 10 champion is going to be Indiana.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Now I don't feel like Indiana would have been my
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: first pick, but I think they are one of the
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: three teams that are vying for it this year. Anyone
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: else kind of is an outside chance, so I'm glad
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: I at least get one of those. So I'm taking
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: Indiana as my Big Ten champion. It's hard to bet
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: against the defending national champs, right?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Again, I like it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I have a feeling that Kurt Cignetti's team is going
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: to stumble a little bit. I mean, you just can't
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: lose that much talent and just pick up where you
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: left off. But I think he's so good, and that
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: program's on such a roll that by year's end, They
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: might be the best team in the Big Ten. Will
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: they have cost themselves a game or two leading up
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: to that point?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Perhaps. I think that's in play.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: But I think maybe by year's end, they might be
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: the best team in the conference again.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: And they're not lacking of talent either. It's not like
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: they've lost everyone from their national championship team and are...
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: UW 2024-ing it, right? That's not the case here. They're
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: still going to be a really good team this year.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Agreed, agreed.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: All right, you get another pick here in round number
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: three in our first ever showdown draft, replacing the Green Jacket,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: our college football preview.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: We do it every year. Yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: I'm debating between two names here for my Heisman because
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: I feel like I can get basically anything I want
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: for the national champion no matter what happens later. So
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I'm going to take.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning as my... Arch Madness!
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think... He finally kind of breaks out here.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Everyone's kind of slow playing his development to finally be.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: This is the year where he breaks out fully for Texas. Now,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know if Texas themselves are going to be
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: a national contender.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They might.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: But I think he is going to definitely break out
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: and be one of the best players in college football
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: this year.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I think he's going to be much improved. And if
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: he's in the conversation, let's face it. This is a
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: lot of people voting.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: The Manning name carries on. probably more weight than it should.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: And so if he makes it close, the tiebreaker might
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: be that his last name is Manning.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: His name's Arch Manning, for gosh sakes.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Now, I'm not going to pick him for my Heisman.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: I don't see him improving that much, but I'll tell
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: you this, I might pick him next year because of
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: everybody that thinks that Arch Madness is about the number
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: one pick and tank for Arch.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: I think the Manning family goes to school, and I
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: think Arch Manning might stay. And now that they've got
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: the five-for-five rule, he might stay two more years.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: That's true. Actually, I think this is his fourth year.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: But anyway, Arch Madness continues. Anders is going to go
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: with the Texas quarterback.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: What do you think of that one, Jeff?
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I think it's a good pick.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: He's definitely a top-three candidate for it.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: But it's been a while, I think, since the favorite
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: has actually won the Heisman, I believe.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: It has.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Another thing to keep in mind, CJ Carr.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what I was thinking, but I was like
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: at the same time.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Nice pick, Ashley.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I could have just, you know, pulled something out of
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: my butt, I suppose.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, don't do that. Here you are worried about peeing
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: in the cup, and now you want to do this.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Body talk in the morning here, wow. All right, Ashley,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: you've got C.J. Carr as your Heisman. You've got Ohio
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: State as your national champion. It's your third pick, so
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: you've either got to pick a UW win total or
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: a Big Ten champion.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I am going to cheer for UW this year,
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: not want them to lose, so there's no way in
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: heck I'm taking seven wins.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I'm going to take the ten.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I want to know how Jeff immediately feels about getting seven.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: He could go 11.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I knew I had a bad feeling that was going
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to happen. I was painting myself into a corner there.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: That's not a good feeling.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, you could go 11. You could go up even more.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You could go 11.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: That is true.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: All right, well, it is your pick. Now, all the
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: UW picks are off the board, so you don't have
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: to necessarily go there, but I'm telling you, if you
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: steal my Heisman pick at this point... Jeff, I will
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: never talk to you again.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, steal it. Steal it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure I know who your pick is.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, you do?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go off. I do.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: But I'm going to go off the board here a
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: little bit.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be his teammate. I'm going to
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: go Jeremiah Smith wins the Heisman.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I had him on my list.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I did, too. He's not my number one pick.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: You.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Misread my mind. P-p-p-p-poker face. But I love your pick.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: And I hope that if Jeremiah Smith does establish himself,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: because there's an argument he was the best player in
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: the country a year ago. I don't want this quarterback thing.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I get it. That's the most important position in the sport.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: But the.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: description of the award is the best player in the
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: country it's not the mvp and jeremiah smith is going
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: to be the best player in the country this year
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and if he puts up the requisite numbers and ohio
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: state has a big 10 championship like season i i
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: want him to win the award if he's the best
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: player and not just give it to a damn quarterback.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree 100%.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: It's become a quarterback award, and it's just, you know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: it's not what the award's for.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: It should be the best player in the country.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I agree. All right.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: So we get to national championship, and I told you
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I would not pick Oregon, and I'm not. Okay, so
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: everybody rest assured. I'm not going to pick Oregon to
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: win the national championship. I am going to– I.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Already gave you a little foreshadowing on this. Oh, maybe
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not. No, I'm going to go with Miami.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go with Miami to win the national championship.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I came very close to taking Indiana to win it again.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: But winning back-to-back national championships, man, what a tall task.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: So I'll take Miami to win the national championship. I
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: know that's somewhere out there in the world that's making
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: one person really happy.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Closer than you think, Chuck.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: And then with my final pick, I have to take
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: my Heisman Trophy.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: And so this has been my favorite pick the entire time.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I thought I could gamble a little bit and get
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: this as my last selection, and I did. My pick
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: for the Heisman Trophy this year, to me, he was
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: the best player in the country at the end of
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the year. I didn't understand the hype around this guy
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: during the season, and it was purely because I wasn't
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: watching him play enough. By the time I saw him
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: in the playoff, I'm like, there's not a better player
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: than this in the country. Then he fought like mad
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: to come back to college football. I mean, he went
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: to court like 13 times, and he's got the chip
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: on his shoulder of his head coach left him and
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: has been a jerk to Ole Miss ever since. So
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: give me Trinidad Chambliss to win the Heisman Trophy in
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: a landslide this year. I think he's the best college
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: football player. College quarterback, I should say, because I think
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Jeremiah Smith's the best player. Trinidad Chambliss is the best
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: college quarterback in America, so that's my Heisman pick.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I'd love to see that.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was on my list. I'll tell you that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: All right, Jeff, you got your final pick.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: So are you going to go 7-5 or 11-1 for
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the Dawgs?
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: There's no way I'm taking the dogs to go 7-1.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: We're going to go 11-1.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: That's right, Jeff. That's right. I just have to ask
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a question. I didn't get your last name. Is this
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bechtold?
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: That would be my favorite thing ever.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Bechtold's like, I'm playing in this one.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Dogs for the Big Ten Championship. Dogs for the National Championship.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Jeff, analyze it. How do they get to 11-1?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And don't say win 11 out of 12 games.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: They're going to win the first four. I'm pretty confident.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: They're going to go to USC. They're going to win
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: a close one, and that's going to get the ball rolling.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: I think the only one they lose, the only one
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: they will lose may be at Oregon. But they've got
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: the perfect schedule at home. You've got Penn State at home,
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: Indiana at home.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I can see this.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: We're going to go 11-1.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Did that encourage Ashley to pick UW as conference champions then?
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I already have them at 10-2, so yes, I
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: am taking them.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: As conference champions.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I have to.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Look at that. Look at that love.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: I'm wearing the hat, but it's very clear who the
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: biggest Husky fans in.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: The draft are. Their names are Jeff and Ashley.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: And had I not been the last one picking my
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: Big Ten champ.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: What would you have taken?
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Well, if I'd had the first pick, I probably would
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: have gone with Ohio State.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: That's fair.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: But I didn't want to.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: If you had your first pick with UW wins, what
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: would you have taken?
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Nine.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: What about you, Jeff?
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Probably nine.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Probably nine. Yeah, I think it's safe.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I also think it's safe. Yeah, it's safe. So I'm
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: willing to take a little bit of a risk here.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they'll get one more out of it than the
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: bettors think they will.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: This stuff is trickier than you think. It's true. Drafting
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: is an art.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: All right, national champion Anders, last pick of the draft.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to decide if I want to go with...
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Because when I'm drafting, when I'm kind of rooting for
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: things to happen, sometimes when I'm gambling, a little wagering
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: as well, I like to go.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: All in.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I don't like to hedge. So I don't like to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: pick against another pick that I have.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: So I'm trying to decide if I want my Heisman
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: winner to win the national championship or my Big Ten
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: winner to win the national championship.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a tough one.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go with my Big Ten winner. I
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: do think Indiana goes back to back. Kurt Cignetti is
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: a fantastic coach. And like I said, they're not devoid
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: of talent. And I think, Chuck, you kind of put
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: the nail on the head there.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: They may.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: take a little bit longer to get going in the
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: first kind of few games of this season but by
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: the end of the year they'll have that kind of
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: championship pedigree stand out a little bit and I think
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: when it matters most. And I even think there's a
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: chance they don't win the Big Ten, but still win
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: the national championship.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, I think that's what's going to happen, or at
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: least I think there's a very good chance that that's
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: going to happen.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so they may not put themselves in the regular
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: season category of the best team in college football, but
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: once playoff time comes, they'll be ready to go.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what I'm betting on is that Oregon wins the
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Big Ten and then loses by 75 points.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: In the playoffs.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Sounds great to me.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: To North Dakota State. Exactly. Perfect.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Jeff, you were the perfect, perfect, perfect drafter for us
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: to start the showdown era.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So thank you very much.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And don't worry.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: We will be tracking all of this data throughout the
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: course of the season. We might even pop you back
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: on at some point just to get a mid-season update.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: On how you're feeling. Unless you're winning, then we don't
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: want to talk to you. Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Of course.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: And then maybe someday you'll get to embrace this gorgeous, gaudy.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Trophy that was made for the showdown. So thank you, Jeff.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: That would be a dream come true.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks, man. Appreciate you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Thanks, guys.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. All right, Jeff. Well done, everybody.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know why I turned my mic off. I
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: was trying to hang up on Jeff for some reason,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: and I turned my own mic off.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't hang up on him. Only I can.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Excellent work. That was fun. All right. Coming up next.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Anders. Appreciate it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: No problem.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Coming up next, Hard Knocks recap and certainly what really
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: stood out to us about the finale. Sports Radio 93.3
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: KJR FM. Man, I haven't done it in a while.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: You know, I heard someone talking about drafts today.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: And this morning on my way in, and they said,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I don't think drafts are fair.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: We need to get rid of the NFL draft because
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: it's unfair to tell young people where they have to
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: live and play.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Who's the person that I need to beat and leave
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: in a gutter?
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I can't even. Frank somebody.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Frank, Frank, Frank, Frank.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Frank Furter.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Frank the Tank.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Well, what an idiot.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: But it was great to draft again. And I will
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: say we're doing another one tomorrow. The listener thing worked
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: out beautifully. Jeff was fantastic. So there's the standard. So
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: we're going to need somebody else to draft tomorrow. And
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: tomorrow is Big Ten Fantasy Football. So this is a
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: big one. You're going to basically just draft the original
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: roster for your Big Ten team?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Um, but obviously we're not going to use the same
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: person to make the pickups throughout the year.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: That would be unfair.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: There will just be a listener team, but you, somebody
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: out there tomorrow, eight o'clock again, is going to be
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: responsible for drafting the original roster on the listeners. Big
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: 10 fantasy football team as a quarterback running back wide receiver,
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: and then a wide receiver running back or tight end, uh,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: at your flex position. So, so, uh, keep that in mind.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: for tomorrow, and 49451 for all interested parties. All right,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: let's talk some hard knocks here, because last night, the
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: season wrapped up. I had fallen out of love with
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: hard knocks, maybe even out of like with hard knocks
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: until this year, and I'm sure it's knowing the players
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: and the coaches like we do and follow on a
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: daily basis that worked, but I also think that they
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: did a beautiful job of it. Um, and there were
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: some great things in that last episode, uh, Dino's pub getting.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Recognized and John Schneider.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: It's not like it was a secret, but he, I mean,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: to see that he literally holds Seahawk meetings at Dino's
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: across the street.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, who's not going to try to Fry into
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: that now.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: Well, and he said, like, I've been doing this for
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: 10 years. I mean, as we mentioned, we've talked about it.
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: We talk about it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: But I don't think until you see it on TV
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: and you're like, wait a minute. Oh, it's a real place.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: It's just literally in a little tiny strip mall next
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: to a mini mart.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: And he's not in the back room. Nope. He's out
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the floor. Just right there. People
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: walking around. Maybe more than one beer.
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I think maybe more than one beer.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't be surprised.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: But right out there in the mix. So, I mean.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: How are people not going to want to go see that?
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: So you might have ruined your spot. Not that it
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: was a secret spot, but he might have ruined his spot.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: They can put like a gated area for him now.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: But then that ruins it.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I know it does.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: You don't get to see the lion in his natural habitat.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Where the deals are done.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's behind a cage now. Also love that they
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: infused Dolly, a Dolly song into it.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I did too. That was not by accident.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: They did a little tip of the cap to Dolly
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Parton passing away last week. So they did a whole
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: montage of going to work and nine to five in it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: I thought that Uso, I was expecting Montori Foster Jr.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: to be the star of the final episode. And it
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: was Uso instead, and I loved it because he really.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Came off very, very likable.
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: Yes, and also John Schneider came off very, very small
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: when he was hugging him. I was like, Uso's only 6'3.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's not small. He's not a small man,
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: but when they hugged, I was like, oh, John Schneider
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: looks teeny tiny. The only disappointment I actually had in
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: that entire episode was that we did not get to
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: see Montori Foster be told he made the team.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: True.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: True.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: And we didn't get to see his parents' reaction. We
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: heard them over the phone.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: But it wasn't him telling them. That was just him
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: like working through it after. It seemed like he'd already
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: told them. Yeah, for sure. That was the one disappointment
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: I had in that is the way that was handled.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder why they didn't do it because he
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: was such an integral part of every episode.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: It would have been.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: And that's what I wanted to see the most was
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: I can't wait to see him get told he makes
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: this team. And then get to tell his parents that's
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: going to be so emotional. That's like my favorite thing
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: with baseball when they get the call up. Yeah.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: And they get to call their parents.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: All of that.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: I love it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I hear you.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: But Uso did come off well, but the guy that
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: came off the best, and it's, I mean, the way
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: that Hard Knocks wrapped that up, and they pretty much
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: just said at the very end, I don't have it
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: word for word, but what they took away, the HBO
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: producers that came to town and were there every single
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: day in camp and were everywhere at the Virginia Mason
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: athletic center and every meeting room, what they clearly came
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: away with from their time in Renton was that the
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Seahawks have a superstar in their building.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: And it's their head coach.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: That's how they wrapped it up.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Um, it was a pretty much a tribute and I don't,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it didn't start that way, but actually I
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: think that they just like, this is the best leader
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: I've ever been around. This guy is unbelievable. And the
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: last episode, the number of guys that came into his
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: office and how he handled them. and then the two
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: different speeches that he gave in the midst where even
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: John Schneider is in the crowd nodding along like hey
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: that's good stuff like they were they clearly are came
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: away from this experience the producers of that show enamored
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: with our head coach we understand why It was great
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: to see him behind the scenes.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I love him more than ever.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: And I think that he needs to be locked up
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: right now to a lifetime contract. And the Kozel is,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: you just spent $ 10 billion on the franchise. Why not
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: give our head coach $ 30 million for the next 10
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: years and.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Let's just be done with it? I mean, I would
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: love that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: And, you know, we've all already been enamored with him
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: because of what he's already done in his short time here.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, second year and you bring us a Super Bowl,
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: it doesn't get much better than that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: But it isn't even just that.
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: He's been a bit of a mystery.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: He's clearly got a brilliant mind, but we haven't gotten
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: to really experience a lot of the way that he
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: goes about his every day. So getting to have that
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: insight and getting to see how it is that he
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: interacts with the players and how he interacts with John
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: and his staff and different things, I mean.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: I was fascinated by it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: He has found a way to manage and tread this
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: line of being a confidant And a friend and a
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: supportive person while still never losing his authority.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: And it's an incredible skill.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Right. Yeah. It's very impressive. He impressed me the entire time.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: And I already entered like 11 out of 10 impressed
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: with the guy. How did I get more impressed with
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: him by the end of the episode? And every episode
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: I got a little more impressed with him. I mean,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: I've gone on record saying, and I'm not the only one.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: It's not like this is original for me. But I
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: think he's the most important part of this entire Super
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Bowl run that we had.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I think he is the true star.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: John Schneider's been an A-plus general manager. We obviously have
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: uncovered some A-plus talent. Sam Darnold has certainly played a role.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: The gamble on him and winning the championship a year ago.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: But the key to it all was that guy. Mm-hmm.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: And I already felt that going into hard knocks. And
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: now I'm even more impressed with him than ever before.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: And obviously, I'm not the only one. And to think
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: about this, I mean, we have an offensive coordinator and
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: we haven't seen him call plays. Hugh Millen has now
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: famously said, you don't know until you see it. Like,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: we're not going to know if we're not going to
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: be able to evaluate Brian Fleury, the play.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Caller, until we actually see how he calls.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Plays in a real game, calling the play, the, the
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: ideal play for that situation.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: And in the flow of the game, we're not going
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to be able to evaluate.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: That till we actually see it next Wednesday. So for
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald to be a first year head, first time
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: head coach, not first year, first time head coach to
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: have never like done it here, learn from his mistakes
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: and became better at those. emphasized his strengths he never
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: had that experience for him to have been an assistant
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: and a young assistant and for him to have absorbed
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: from all the people he's working he's working with some
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: good people like oh i love that trait like he's
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: not like jim harbaugh not at all like jim harbaugh
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: but he absorbed everything he liked about jim harbaugh he's
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: not like john harbaugh but he absorbed everything he liked
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: and i think brigance OJ Berganz, who he highlighted when
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: he passed away, the Ravens coach, and brought him to
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: tears earlier in the season. Obviously, he stole things from
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: him or absorbed things from him that he wanted to
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: enact whenever he became a leader.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: He became the leader in the room. And for him
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to have.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Gone about that, that's like, that is just like beyond
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: comprehension to me. that your first time as a head coach,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: you filtered out everything that you wanted to be as
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: a leader, and you knew exactly how to relate to
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: today's athlete as opposed to making them relate to you
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: or a previous generation, and to do it without ever sacrificing,
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: like you said, your authority over everything. It's mind-blowing to me.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: It's mind-blowing to me, and obviously the HBO people fell
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: in love with our head coach. And man, count your
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: lucky stars that he's here, and I just trust the
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Coastlas and John Schneider to recognize what they have, and
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: don't ever let them go.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: No, please.
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because he manages to also have confidence. He knows
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: exactly what he wants without being a dictator about it, right?
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: To be that young and have the confidence coming into
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: the first time you're ever doing the job and have
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: the confidence to say, no, this isn't how it's going
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: to go.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: This is how it's going to go.
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, we talk about those two moves he made
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: early on in his first year, dropping those two linebackers
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: and bringing in Ernest Jones.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, he knew right away.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Knew right away.
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: A lot of people wouldn't have the confidence to come
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: forth and make that change because you'd assume, well, my
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: GM probably knew what he was doing.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going to work with what he gave me.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: It's a perfect example.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: I can think of another guy that should go to
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald leadership camp. And I'm not going to mention
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: any names because that would be mean. I'll just say this.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: He's been compared to a house plant this week.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Coming up next. Oh, gosh.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: I've saved this for now. I've thought about this all
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: the show long. So has Ashley, I guarantee you.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: And so we're going to find out what's going on.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: 9 o'clock hour, Cam Cleland.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Official visit.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: First official visit of the college football season will be
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: with us every Wednesday again this year. Last year it
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: was 8 o'clock. This year it's going to be 9 o'clock.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: So Cam Cleland locked in for 9 o'clock every Wednesday.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Part of our fall lineup here on Chuck.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: In the Morning.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. So we talked to him
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: a few weeks ago, but this.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Is the first official one. I expect him to be
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: in coat and tie.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: He's going to be ready for Apple Cup.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, I hope.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: He's on his best behavior, too, because I'm not going
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: to put up with some of the nonsense we put
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: up with last year.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: I hope he's not on his best behavior.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: You want him to stir the pot a little bit?
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I do.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Cam Cleland at 9 o'clock. Let's talk about something that
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: was brought up at the end of the show yesterday.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: And I do notice that– did you do your hair
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: differently today? Is that what moms do when their daughters
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: go to middle school? No, I got my hair done yesterday.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: I cut off like six inches of it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: I noticed the difference. That was just what you wanted
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: to do or you thought, I have a middle schooler now.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I need a new haircut.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: No, I just wanted it shorter.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was it. I should have done it because
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I have a middle schooler.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: So?
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: You're anxious about this?
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think you're already sad about this. Today is
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: the day. She starts middle school. How did it go today?
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: As far as I know, it went well. Obviously, I
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: wasn't there, but I got pictures.
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: Five Iron did his job. He always has to take
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: a picture for me.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Five Iron.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: And she got picked up by her friend Amy and
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: Penelope because Penelope goes to the same school as Palmer.
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: Just a grade above. So they went to school together.
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: Amy dropped them off. And she took pictures of the
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: two of them as well. So I feel fulfilled in
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: knowing that she's there. She also sent me a selfie
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: like I told her to. And then when I wrote
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: her back, she wrote back, Mom, I'm in class. And
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: I was like, first of all, you shouldn't have your
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: phone out or be looking at it. That's on you,
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: not on me.
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: So now she's like grown up and stuff.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: So was she excited? Was she nervous this morning?
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: No, she, I don't think she has any nerves. She
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: was super excited when I was talking to her last night.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: So.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I always loved first day of school.
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Now I was a bigger kid growing up and a.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Pretty confident kid. I'm not, I don't, I'm sure Palmer
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: is as well. Not bigger kid, but a confident kid.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: And so I realized how some kids might've had apprehension,
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: but I always loved it.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I always loved like, Meeting the teacher.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Because back then, I don't know, do they now know
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: who your teacher is? Because you didn't find out until
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: you got to school when I grew up. Like, first
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: day of school, you looked up on a chart to
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: see where you were. Oh, really? And then you reported
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: to class. And then you got to see which of
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: your friends were in your normal class. I mean, you
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: got to see them all. PE and other places, but
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: you were part of a group and you got to
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: see which best friends of yours were in your class,
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: which cute girl was in your class. I loved the
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: whole experience of first day. So I have nothing but
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: great memories, but I do understand that Sometimes it does
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: terrify other children. So I didn't know where Palmer was
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: on that chart.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's very excited.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: Some of her friends, her friend Ella was a little
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: nervous and mostly excited. She said, maybe I'll get a
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: little bit more nervous tomorrow. But, you know, you're going
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: from elementary school and being fifth grade where you kind
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: of rule the roost to, you know, you're the small
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: fish again. And you're in a school that's three stories tall.
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: And you go to a new class every hour. And
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: so they did orientation last week and they got to
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: see all their teachers and meet all their teachers. So
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: they do get a list. They get their teachers the
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: week before school starts. And that's like half the fun
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: because then you got to call all your friends and
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: find out who got it.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Who, but they got to do it in person this year.
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: They got the list at orientation and then they got
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: to run around and ask all their friends who's in
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: whose class.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: So it'll be fun.
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: And then you only, you know, you still get into
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: class and then find out, oh my God, there's 20
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: other people here that I didn't expect to be in
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: this class. This is fun.

• 39:49
  Speaker 4: extra exciting because that, that was extracurricular school activities. Yeah.
