- 0:06Speaker 2: can't get enough.
- 0:07Speaker 3: You just can't get This is our weekly visit with
- 0:10Speaker 3: Rick Neuheisel, brought to you by Taco.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Time, not those new Heidels. Used to be a moniker
- 0:15Speaker 2: of mine. I mean, just sell you out now.
- 0:17Speaker 3: On your home for college football Saturdays, here's Nacho's new
- 0:21Speaker 3: Heidel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
- 0:25Speaker 2: This is college football and I want you to get
- 0:28Speaker 2: it all over yourself.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you right now.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Ever since we had the privilege of being able to
- 0:35Speaker 3: talk to Rick new Isel every single week of our
- 0:39Speaker 3: lives during the football season, what nine years ago, I've
- 0:42Speaker 3: been pumped every single week to talk to coach new Isel.
- 0:45Speaker 1: But this week did a oh more.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Ever, guess oh, I don't even know what to do
- 0:51Speaker 3: with myself. Joining us now is our college football insider
- 0:56Speaker 3: Rick new Isel.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Hello, Sarah, how are you?
- 1:00Speaker 2: I am? Well? That made me laugh, and yet in
- 1:04Speaker 2: some form fashion sounded a little disturbing. I'm just going
- 1:07Speaker 2: to let you.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Know it is disturbing. Good.
- 1:10Speaker 3: I kind of want to have that effect on people.
- 1:12Speaker 3: I want to make you laugh, but walk away going
- 1:14Speaker 3: what's wrong.
- 1:14Speaker 1: With that guy?
- 1:16Speaker 3: So all right, I'm just going to ask you. I'm
- 1:18Speaker 3: not going to ignore this elephant in the room. Are
- 1:20Speaker 3: you going to be the Washington State Cougar's head coach?
- 1:24Speaker 2: I have no idea. I have not spoken to anybody
- 1:28Speaker 2: from Washington State. There have been a number of alums
- 1:31Speaker 2: that I've talked to. I've made a lot of friends
- 1:33Speaker 2: over my lifetime, to Jack Thompson's of the world, the
- 1:37Speaker 2: Mark Riffins of the world, the Drew Bloodshoe's of the world,
- 1:40Speaker 2: and I've always admired greatly how much they love their school.
- 1:45Speaker 2: I mean, it is a it's a badge of honor
- 1:48Speaker 2: to be a KUP, and so there's there's no question
- 1:53Speaker 2: that there's great passion there. And I've made it clear
- 1:56Speaker 2: that I'm miss coaching. There's no question about that. So
- 1:59Speaker 2: if if an opportunity were present itself, I would certainly
- 2:03Speaker 2: entertain it. I have not talked to anybody at the school.
- 2:06Speaker 2: These things go by way of search firms and such,
- 2:10Speaker 2: So I'll check in with you later if I got
- 2:13Speaker 2: any news, but I don't have any today.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Okay, well, then it sounds I mean that you kind
- 2:18Speaker 4: of pretty much answered it. I mean you you missed coaching,
- 2:22Speaker 4: so if the opportunity to present itself, you would gladly
- 2:25Speaker 4: take it. If somebody here is hearing this from Wazoo
- 2:29Speaker 4: right now and says, well, we've heard about that, but
- 2:31Speaker 4: we didn't know for sure. If he's interested that you're
- 2:34Speaker 4: interested in going to Pullman.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be interested. And the other thing that's kind
- 2:41Speaker 2: of attracted for me, And again, this would all have
- 2:45Speaker 2: to be, you know, talked over, and I haven't had
- 2:48Speaker 2: that opportunity to talk to anybody. I'd love to coach
- 2:51Speaker 2: with my son and to have an opportunity for the
- 2:57Speaker 2: two of us to collaborate in this kind of environment
- 3:00Speaker 2: and put together approach. I've said this new PAC twelve
- 3:06Speaker 2: that is going to begin next year with eight schools
- 3:09Speaker 2: that all have state named after him. I can't believe
- 3:12Speaker 2: All State Insurance hasn't decided how to sponsor this thing,
- 3:16Speaker 2: because it is all states. That new conference is really
- 3:22Speaker 2: exciting from a standpoint that you've got eight similarly resourced programs.
- 3:28Speaker 2: It isn't like there's just the elephants in this room
- 3:31Speaker 2: that are going to run the table. Kind of like
- 3:33Speaker 2: James Madison is in the Sun Belt where they got
- 3:36Speaker 2: more money than everybody else. Sounds to me like you've
- 3:38Speaker 2: got eight schools at all, have a chance to coach
- 3:42Speaker 2: hard and recruit hard and a chance to win, and
- 3:46Speaker 2: that to me is appealing.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I'd love it for you.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Of course, you still have to come on with us
- 3:51Speaker 3: every Tuesday at nine o'clock. Yes, yes, but I mean
- 3:57Speaker 3: I envisioned the scenario, and I don't want to make
- 3:59Speaker 3: you on comfortable.
- 4:00Speaker 1: I envision in a scenario where.
- 4:02Speaker 3: You coach the Kougs for a few years and then
- 4:04Speaker 3: eventually it's handed off to your son and he becomes
- 4:07Speaker 3: a staple there.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I don't know, that's That's what I as in my mind.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Is is that anything that you I mean, are you
- 4:13Speaker 3: entertaining that as well? I mean, not just working with
- 4:16Speaker 3: your son, but maybe the new Heisel stamp gets put
- 4:19Speaker 3: on that program for years to come.
- 4:23Speaker 2: So the old saying in the country song you want
- 4:26Speaker 2: to hear God laugh tell him your plans, right, So yeah,
- 4:33Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think we can put the cart
- 4:35Speaker 2: too far before the horse. I know this. I've loved
- 4:40Speaker 2: college football and I miss it and the relationships daily.
- 4:46Speaker 2: I get a heaping hunk of it doing what I do.
- 4:50Speaker 2: And I love coming on with you guys. I love
- 4:53Speaker 2: the CBS gig that I've enjoyed. Now this was my
- 4:56Speaker 2: eleventh year. But if I'm going to make a run
- 5:00Speaker 2: to coach one more time, the clock is ticking right.
- 5:03Speaker 2: You can all see Marissa Tomay banging her foot on
- 5:07Speaker 2: my cousin Vinny Ports there. So if it were to be,
- 5:13Speaker 2: I think I'd be really excited about it. If not,
- 5:16Speaker 2: I certainly understand.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Rick new is Elissa with us.
- 5:19Speaker 3: We have addressed the big question everybody wanted us to
- 5:23Speaker 3: ask here this morning. I want you to get back
- 5:25Speaker 3: and coaching because I can't wait for you to get
- 5:27Speaker 3: angry about the committee snubbing you from the tournament.
- 5:33Speaker 2: They played some dirty pool this last week.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And I tell you who's got the reason. Who's got
- 5:40Speaker 1: the right to be the angriest in all of this?
- 5:43Speaker 2: Well, if we hadn't had six shows or five shows
- 5:48Speaker 2: previous to the final one, no one has the right
- 5:51Speaker 2: to be angry.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Yeah, no one.
- 5:53Speaker 2: But we did. We had five shows or six whatever
- 5:57Speaker 2: the number was. Where they told us that Miami was
- 6:01Speaker 2: better than or excuse me, Notre Dame was better than Miami.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Despite the fact, and I said this many times on
- 6:08Speaker 2: our little hits on Tuesdays, I don't see how.
- 6:10Speaker 1: You do that.
- 6:11Speaker 2: The records are the same, Miami beat them. But the
- 6:15Speaker 2: fact that they did it, and they did it, and
- 6:17Speaker 2: they did it and they did it again and then
- 6:20Speaker 2: get to a week where neither team plays and flip
- 6:24Speaker 2: them is dirty pool. That tells us some other operation
- 6:32Speaker 2: was in play and you can't tell me just because
- 6:36Speaker 2: by you lost. That's the first time we've compared the
- 6:39Speaker 2: two schools. That doesn't make any sense. As a matter
- 6:42Speaker 2: of fact, Hunter y'resix. The committee spokesperson said that they
- 6:45Speaker 2: were involved in the same pool and they came up
- 6:48Speaker 2: with the same solution that it was Notre Dame ahead
- 6:53Speaker 2: of Miami. So at day's end to do that, at
- 6:56Speaker 2: the end, I can see why you're If you're a
- 6:59Speaker 2: Notre Dame fan, you're completely rankled. I can see why
- 7:02Speaker 2: Pete Babokua and by the way, just really bad form
- 7:07Speaker 2: for those two leaders, Jim Phillips and Pete Babakua, to
- 7:10Speaker 2: be airing it out in public. That stuff should be
- 7:13Speaker 2: happened internally with respect to what power is the ACC
- 7:19Speaker 2: going to stump for their champion and or Miami as
- 7:24Speaker 2: opposed to a notre dame, which is a huge, huge,
- 7:29Speaker 2: valuable partner. Those things should have been ironed out, and
- 7:32Speaker 2: unfortunately we got to see the dirty laundry.
- 7:35Speaker 4: How about the hypocrisy, if you will, I mean, how
- 7:38Speaker 4: do you reconcile the idea of an Alabama canilais and
- 7:43Speaker 4: egg in the SEC championship game? And I don't know
- 7:46Speaker 4: for sure how I feel about what type or how
- 7:48Speaker 4: much uh how much that should count against you. It's
- 7:52Speaker 4: an extra game that you know that you had to play,
- 7:55Speaker 4: or you get to play, but you also have to
- 7:57Speaker 4: play if you're on the losing end of it. And
- 7:59Speaker 4: yet they don't move anywhere in the standings BYU shows
- 8:03Speaker 4: basically one thing, they're not as good as Texas Tech.
- 8:05Speaker 4: And that's the only thing that they've shown us that
- 8:07Speaker 4: they're not better than so far. And yet they end
- 8:10Speaker 4: up dropping a spot and can't find their way in either.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got a super two dilemma here. We've got
- 8:18Speaker 2: the Big Ten and we've got the SEC and their
- 8:22Speaker 2: conference championship games don't matter. I mean, Ohio State fell
- 8:27Speaker 2: to number two. Alabama didn't even move despite looking woeful,
- 8:32Speaker 2: and if you were doing an eye test, it would
- 8:34Speaker 2: have been Notre Dame in Miami and in Alabama out.
- 8:38Speaker 2: But the power of those conferences or such that they
- 8:41Speaker 2: just kind of created a way for those games not
- 8:44Speaker 2: to matter, which then leads us to wonder why are
- 8:48Speaker 2: we playing them then? Because all those kid teams are
- 8:50Speaker 2: doing are risking injury as they get ready for the playoffs,
- 8:54Speaker 2: And I think what we're going to see is a
- 8:56Speaker 2: play in game to replace the conference championship game, which
- 9:01Speaker 2: will be much more fun to watch to see a Vanderbilt,
- 9:05Speaker 2: you know, Texas, these teams that are just outside trying
- 9:10Speaker 2: to get in a BYU having an opportunity to play
- 9:12Speaker 2: their way in.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Yeah, now that you said, I kind of like that.
- 9:16Speaker 3: I mean you still keep a twelve team format, but
- 9:19Speaker 3: instead of conference championship week, maybe it's each team gets
- 9:23Speaker 3: a representative from their conference and then they've just battle
- 9:27Speaker 3: it out for a week to see phills.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Rick new Eiel is with us, our college football insider
- 9:37Speaker 3: from CBS Sports, of course, former U dub head coach,
- 9:41Speaker 3: and we've already addressed at Koogs fans, We've already addressed
- 9:44Speaker 3: it if you're just joining us his segment with us
- 9:46Speaker 3: brought to you by Taco Time all year long. All right,
- 9:50Speaker 3: So how quickly are they drafting up the new rules
- 9:56Speaker 3: to try to keep from two group of five.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Teams getting into the tournament? Ever?
- 10:01Speaker 2: Again, I guarantee they're crafting something. But congratulations to Bob
- 10:08Speaker 2: Chesney and James Madison and certainly to John Sumrall and
- 10:12Speaker 2: Tulane for beating them again. It's amazing. You know, the
- 10:17Speaker 2: group of five. It was Craig Thompson, who was the
- 10:20Speaker 2: commissioner of the Mountain West, who was on that four
- 10:22Speaker 2: man committee that nant came up with the twelve team format.
- 10:26Speaker 2: And what he asked for was five champions, right, which
- 10:30Speaker 2: guaranteed a group of five, And they gave it to him.
- 10:34Speaker 2: And they said the four champions would be the top
- 10:36Speaker 2: four seeds, which basically was appeasing the commissioners of the
- 10:40Speaker 2: other four conferences, thinking of course that there will be
- 10:43Speaker 2: the teams that'll be the best four. And yet last
- 10:46Speaker 2: year it was Boise State from the Mountain West that
- 10:49Speaker 2: got the buy. So they said, we can't do that anymore.
- 10:52Speaker 2: We got to change that. So we've changed that. But
- 10:55Speaker 2: in this year with the five champions still getting in.
- 10:59Speaker 2: They went past the a CC, which might have been
- 11:02Speaker 2: kind of a little bit wink wink, no, not in
- 11:04Speaker 2: the committee room. Why Miami had to get in because
- 11:06Speaker 2: it couldn't keep the ACC from getting anything, which would
- 11:10Speaker 2: have been the case had that just been left with Duke,
- 11:12Speaker 2: which had five losses.
- 11:14Speaker 1: So what we have.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Here is a failure to communicate, but to congratulations to
- 11:22Speaker 2: the Dukes and to the green waves and fingers crossed
- 11:26Speaker 2: that they play well, because it will be if they
- 11:29Speaker 2: can play well and be representatives, then maybe we don't
- 11:32Speaker 2: have to tweak it at all, and maybe we can
- 11:34Speaker 2: give more access to the little guys.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Well, now that you might be getting into the group
- 11:39Speaker 3: of five, maybe we just do take a page out
- 11:41Speaker 3: of cool hand.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, is that a thought bubble?
- 11:45Speaker 3: And then so, oh yeah, we'll just take a page
- 11:47Speaker 3: out of cool and Luke, whoever can eat the most
- 11:50Speaker 3: hard boiled eggs, gets into.
- 11:51Speaker 2: The Why did you have to say fifty fifty?
- 11:58Speaker 4: I mean, how bad of a situation have they created?
- 12:02Speaker 4: I mean, and Texas, you know to some degree you
- 12:04Speaker 4: have two other losses outside of the first one against
- 12:07Speaker 4: Ohio State, and yet they basically it feels like they're penalized.
- 12:11Speaker 4: They've been playing good football as of late, and outside
- 12:14Speaker 4: of that you know loss in Week one they that
- 12:18Speaker 4: put them at to where they finish at nine to three.
- 12:20Speaker 4: I mean it, did you just basically shoot the idea
- 12:23Speaker 4: of having big time matchups in those first few weeks
- 12:27Speaker 4: of preseason quote unquote that I call it is that
- 12:31Speaker 4: just not going to happen anymore. Seeing is how the
- 12:32Speaker 4: team that lost that finds themselves right on the outside
- 12:35Speaker 4: looking in.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Well, if you heard Stark talk on this subject, that's
- 12:40Speaker 2: exactly what's going to happen. But I don't believe that
- 12:43Speaker 2: that will be the case because I don't think televisions
- 12:46Speaker 2: ours are.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Going to let it happen.
- 12:47Speaker 2: They're going to force the issue. And I think we're
- 12:50Speaker 2: getting closer also to kind of like the NFL does,
- 12:53Speaker 2: where your schedules are determined where you finish. I wouldn't
- 12:57Speaker 2: be surprised to see an SEC one schedule in SEC
- 13:02Speaker 2: two and on down the list as to where you're
- 13:05Speaker 2: going to play, and who you're going to play and
- 13:06Speaker 2: how many games on the road. I know athletic directors
- 13:10Speaker 2: want control of the schedule so that they can get
- 13:12Speaker 2: as many home games as possible, and even willing to
- 13:15Speaker 2: purchase home games so for their fan bases. But I
- 13:19Speaker 2: think we're getting closer that the television money is such
- 13:22Speaker 2: that they're going to be in control of some of That've.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Been saying it for years, decades, and finally it looks
- 13:29Speaker 3: like it's about ready to happen. So I am all
- 13:32Speaker 3: for that. I'm all about that. I want to get
- 13:35Speaker 3: your take on this. I mean, I want to get
- 13:37Speaker 3: to the Heisman and a little bit on Army Navy
- 13:39Speaker 3: before we wrap up. But urban Meyer said during the
- 13:42Speaker 3: Fox broadcast of the Big Ten Championship game that the
- 13:46Speaker 3: job Kurt Signetti has done at Indiana is not just
- 13:50Speaker 3: the greatest coaching job in the history of college football,
- 13:53Speaker 3: it's the greatest coaching job in the history of sports.
- 13:57Speaker 3: That's what he said on the Fox broadcast. Well, I mean,
- 14:02Speaker 3: I'm not expecting you to go that far, but your
- 14:04Speaker 3: thoughts on what Segnetti has done.
- 14:08Speaker 2: It is a combination of brilliant coaching and the perfect storm.
- 14:16Speaker 2: It's a collision of a number of factors all coming
- 14:20Speaker 2: together that allowed for a unbelievable transformation of a program.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Two years ago, Indiana was the losingest program in the
- 14:31Speaker 2: history of college football, the losingest by virtue of their
- 14:37Speaker 2: toe tap victory over penn State. They now won enough
- 14:42Speaker 2: games to put Northwestern as now the losingest program in
- 14:45Speaker 2: the history of college football. The reason I bring that
- 14:49Speaker 2: up is just to give you the idea that just
- 14:52Speaker 2: two years ago they went and got this guy from
- 14:54Speaker 2: James Madison who'd had a nice little career at some
- 14:57Speaker 2: small schools Indiana Universe, City of Pennsylvania, I think Elon College.
- 15:05Speaker 2: He had left Alabama three hundred thousand dollars contract at
- 15:09Speaker 2: Alabama as an assistant coach to go be the head
- 15:12Speaker 2: coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for one hundred and
- 15:15Speaker 2: twenty and his wife said, go get your job back,
- 15:18Speaker 2: and he tried, but he couldn't get it. So now
- 15:22Speaker 2: he's the head coach and off he goes. He brings
- 15:24Speaker 2: thirteen players with him from James Madison to Indiana, and
- 15:28Speaker 2: they had a reasonable schedule. And again this is the
- 15:32Speaker 2: perfect storm. Reasonable schedule, first year of twelve team playoff,
- 15:36Speaker 2: and they capture the imagination of the country losing only
- 15:40Speaker 2: one game, and that to Ohio State in Columbus. They
- 15:45Speaker 2: get into the College Football Playoff. They get beat by
- 15:49Speaker 2: Notre Dame, but an eleven two start. He now goes
- 15:52Speaker 2: into transfer portal and finds a couple of pieces, Fernando Mendoza,
- 15:56Speaker 2: who's the favorite now for the Heisman Trophy. He comes
- 15:59Speaker 2: to place quarterback brilliantly. But they have got great x's
- 16:03Speaker 2: and o's, which is where the coaching job comes in.
- 16:06Speaker 2: And then they get another kind of favorable schedule. They
- 16:09Speaker 2: win the one game on the road and then beat
- 16:13Speaker 2: Ohio State in a game that really didn't matter, but
- 16:17Speaker 2: for Indiana fans, having never been in that championship game,
- 16:21Speaker 2: having not won a Big Ten championship in forever, this
- 16:24Speaker 2: was huge stuff. And now they're going to the Rose Bowl.
- 16:27Speaker 2: They're going to have a Heisman Trophy winner if Diego
- 16:30Speaker 2: Pavia doesn't steal it, a Heisman Trophy winner, a Rose
- 16:34Speaker 2: Bowl berth, and the number one seed after being the
- 16:38Speaker 2: absolute basement program of all of college football. It's phenomenal.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it. Who gets your Heisman vote.
- 16:49Speaker 2: As much as I love Fernanda Mendoza, I cannot shake
- 16:52Speaker 2: off this Diego Pavia and having got that. I this kid, listen,
- 16:59Speaker 2: Clarkly he coached with me at UCLA, so I kind
- 17:03Speaker 2: of helped Clark get going in this business. So I
- 17:05Speaker 2: take great pride in his success. Vanderbilt had never had
- 17:08Speaker 2: a ten win season in the history of their school, never,
- 17:12Speaker 2: and they got the ten wins on the shoulders of
- 17:15Speaker 2: this kid from New Mexico State who captured everybody's imagination
- 17:20Speaker 2: a year ago when he said we got Vanderbilt turned
- 17:23Speaker 2: as they carried the goalpost after beating Alabama into the
- 17:26Speaker 2: Cumberland River. This is a remarkable kid, and he played
- 17:30Speaker 2: his tail off down the stretch. So I'm here for diego,
- 17:35Speaker 2: all right.
- 17:36Speaker 3: So how much of cbls's coverage will be about Rick
- 17:40Speaker 3: new Heisl's decision like a Lebron James situation here and
- 17:44Speaker 3: the Army Navy game this.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Weekend, I can promise you it will not be about me.
- 17:50Speaker 2: This is the absolute quintessential college game of the year
- 17:56Speaker 2: for us. It is so fun and it means so
- 18:00Speaker 2: much more than just what happens on the field, and
- 18:03Speaker 2: you get down and you get to see these kids
- 18:08Speaker 2: play with their hearts out, and when you get there,
- 18:10Speaker 2: you realize they're not as big as Alabama. They're not
- 18:13Speaker 2: as big as Ohio State. This as different and I'm
- 18:16Speaker 2: not taking away from their athleticism or their competitive zeal.
- 18:20Speaker 2: What I'm saying is these guys have made a commitment
- 18:24Speaker 2: to our country and to our way of life, and
- 18:27Speaker 2: that service kind of feel that they bring to the field.
- 18:32Speaker 2: You can feel. And then you see the admirals and
- 18:35Speaker 2: the generals and what it means in terms of the
- 18:38Speaker 2: history of this game and the competitive nature of those
- 18:41Speaker 2: folks in theaters across the globe. I'm telling you, you
- 18:46Speaker 2: can't wait for that. Then all of a sudden we
- 18:48Speaker 2: get that aerial you know, circus of the flyovers and
- 18:52Speaker 2: the Blackhawk helicopters, and You're going, you know what, We're
- 18:55Speaker 2: on the right team. We got the right team here
- 18:57Speaker 2: in America. So I can't wait to be a part
- 19:01Speaker 2: of that telecast and tis every year. It's a bucket
- 19:05Speaker 2: list item.
- 19:06Speaker 1: All right.
- 19:07Speaker 3: So Taco Time Pick of the Week. You have one
- 19:09Speaker 3: game to choose from, So who's taking it?
- 19:13Speaker 1: Listen?
- 19:14Speaker 2: My dad. We lost my dad a year in March,
- 19:19Speaker 2: late March. But he was an army man through and through.
- 19:24Speaker 2: He was part of the Jag Corps, and I got
- 19:28Speaker 2: to in twenty nineteen, got to bring him to the game,
- 19:32Speaker 2: and he's supposed to leave the sideline after the pregame
- 19:35Speaker 2: and go up to his seats, and he said, no, no,
- 19:38Speaker 2: I'm fine right here. And he sat on the Army
- 19:42Speaker 2: bench the entire game and watched it on the video
- 19:45Speaker 2: board in Philadelphia, and I just laugh. I have pictures
- 19:49Speaker 2: of him. You're there with the Army mule and the
- 19:51Speaker 2: whole deal. So it's an honor for me to always
- 19:55Speaker 2: choose the Black Knights, and I'll look forward to see
- 19:59Speaker 2: and if they can get it done. They're a big
- 20:01Speaker 2: underdog here is Navy's been outstanding.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Well, thank you, sir, thank you for joining us. Thank
- 20:06Speaker 3: you for your candor. We appreciate it and uh and
- 20:08Speaker 3: we will be rooting for you and whatever makes you happy. Yes,
- 20:13Speaker 3: all right, all right, thank you have fun.
- 20:17Speaker 1: All right.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Rick new Ile joining us right here on Chuck and
- 20:20Speaker 3: Buckets segment brought to you by Taco Time. All right,
- 20:23Speaker 3: coming up next, the old judge stops by on Sports
- 20:25Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M is
- 20:28Speaker 3: in the courtroom.
- 20:30Speaker 5: He's pointing up to the sky.
- 20:31Speaker 4: Ashley, you're supposed to stand, all right, all yeah, ma'am.
- 20:37Speaker 6: I mean I haven't yet. Why would I start, now
- 20:39Speaker 6: that's true. Yeah, I'm not going to start. Just decide
- 20:42Speaker 6: to show you respect. That would be you could you
- 20:45Speaker 6: guys think something happened.
- 20:47Speaker 1: You get the bailiff? Yeah, take her down, cuff her.
- 20:51Speaker 1: All right, well let's get to it. We're in a
- 20:53Speaker 1: little late.
- 20:53Speaker 3: So the old Judge I got a lot of juicy
- 20:55Speaker 3: topics to discuss. Here's how it works. I'm going to
- 20:58Speaker 3: bring up a topic of discussion. Ashley and I will
- 21:01Speaker 3: discuss it for a little bit. Once the old judge
- 21:03Speaker 3: is hurt enough and is ready to weigh in, he
- 21:04Speaker 3: will slam his gabble and then he will tell us
- 21:08Speaker 3: exactly what the rule is in his courtroom. And that's
- 21:12Speaker 3: where it goes. Yeah, gabble, shut your mouth.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the old judge's courtroom.
- 21:17Speaker 5: That's what he does.
- 21:18Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Let's talk some Seahawks.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Nick Emon Worri, Yeah he's great, but Devin Witherspoon Spoon
- 21:24Speaker 3: is still the seahawks best player.
- 21:26Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know that is tough.
- 21:29Speaker 6: I mean, I think based on a lot of the
- 21:32Speaker 6: larger resume, you'd have to go with Devin Witherspoon. Obviously,
- 21:35Speaker 6: Nick emn Worey is very impressive and I've really enjoyed
- 21:38Speaker 6: watching him, and I think he has the potential to
- 21:41Speaker 6: be the best player for sure, and I don't think
- 21:45Speaker 6: that would be an argument next year.
- 21:47Speaker 5: But I think it's neck and neck.
- 21:48Speaker 6: I'd probably have to give the edge to Witherspoon just
- 21:50Speaker 6: based on longevity.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Here's the thing I think we need to change the
- 21:53Speaker 1: answer to this completely.
- 21:55Speaker 3: It's jsn our best defensively. Sorry, yeah, but I mean
- 22:00Speaker 3: a conversations again today brought up that our two best
- 22:04Speaker 3: players are Emon Worri and Devin Witherspoon. I think it's
- 22:08Speaker 3: very clear our best. Cavel gas yass.
- 22:12Speaker 4: Judge, it is definitely JS said, there's no way if
- 22:15Speaker 4: fans are bouts. I mean, we're talking about the guy
- 22:16Speaker 4: that's doing record breaking stuff. I will say this for
- 22:19Speaker 4: the sake of the conversation. I think Emon worry will
- 22:24Speaker 4: if he has not already caught up to and pass Witherspoon.
- 22:28Speaker 4: I think that's on this way because I think Witherspoon
- 22:31Speaker 4: is unbelievable at what he does. I mean, as a cornerback,
- 22:34Speaker 4: he can cover inside outside, he's locked down and great
- 22:37Speaker 4: at coming up and making tackles, but I think Emon
- 22:40Speaker 4: Worriy can do that, and he can cover.
- 22:42Speaker 1: He can cover tight ends.
- 22:44Speaker 4: I mean, there was one play last week where Pitts
- 22:47Speaker 4: made an unbelievable catch. It was a great throw in number,
- 22:49Speaker 4: like it was right in his back pocket. I think
- 22:51Speaker 4: he can do just about everything. And the fact that
- 22:54Speaker 4: he can play, you know, all the positions that they're
- 22:56Speaker 4: putting him in and do it well, that says something
- 23:00Speaker 4: about between the years for a young kid to be
- 23:01Speaker 4: able to do all that.
- 23:02Speaker 3: All right, college football, Notre Dame did not get screwed,
- 23:06Speaker 3: and they need to stop crying.
- 23:09Speaker 6: I mean, they did get screwed basically based on just
- 23:12Speaker 6: especially based on the fact that they were ahead of
- 23:14Speaker 6: Miami that entire time. It is strange that you needed
- 23:17Speaker 6: BYU to lose in order to look at the two
- 23:19Speaker 6: of those programs and their head to head competition. That's
- 23:22Speaker 6: a bizarre thing to me. I don't quite understand the
- 23:24Speaker 6: flip flopping in that sense. Notre Dame, Yeah, you got screwed,
- 23:28Speaker 6: but you know what, somebody gets screwed every year. Shut it,
- 23:31Speaker 6: quit your bitchin you know, this is.
- 23:34Speaker 1: A really weird one.
- 23:34Speaker 3: For me, because I think that this thing could get
- 23:37Speaker 3: answered either way. Notre Dame did not get screwed and
- 23:41Speaker 3: they need.
- 23:41Speaker 1: To stop crying. I agree.
- 23:43Speaker 3: I can also say Notre Dame did get screwed and
- 23:46Speaker 3: they need to keep on crying because that's the only
- 23:49Speaker 3: way to apparently enact change around here. I ultimately think,
- 23:54Speaker 3: and this is how close this conversation is, that Notre
- 23:57Speaker 3: Dame should be in the tournament and they need to
- 24:00Speaker 3: stop crying.
- 24:01Speaker 4: Yeah, Gavel, Gavel, Gavel. I'm not a big fan of
- 24:06Speaker 4: the crying and wine and you essentially, I mean, you
- 24:09Speaker 4: lost to it the whole debate. I think Notre Dame
- 24:13Speaker 4: was playing better football than more than just Miami, more
- 24:16Speaker 4: than a bunch of teams that are in the tournament.
- 24:19Speaker 4: They were playing unbelievable basically since that Miami game, they've
- 24:23Speaker 4: been playing pretty unbelievable football. But at the same time,
- 24:27Speaker 4: you lost to them head to head, and so I mean,
- 24:30Speaker 4: I get it the fact that like new EISA was saying,
- 24:33Speaker 4: the fact that we had five weeks of them saying
- 24:36Speaker 4: that they were beneath that Miami was beneath Notre Dame,
- 24:40Speaker 4: and then without either of them even stepping on a
- 24:42Speaker 4: football field, you flop them. That to me is yeah,
- 24:46Speaker 4: you can be pissed off, same time, go play in
- 24:49Speaker 4: your bowl game. I mean, I guess that it doesn't matter.
- 24:52Speaker 4: You're just basically making money and you know, going out
- 24:55Speaker 4: and appeasing the man if you will. But yeah, just
- 24:59Speaker 4: stop crying. And I'm not a big fan of the whiney.
- 25:01Speaker 4: I'm going to take my ball and go home because
- 25:03Speaker 4: I'm mad.
- 25:04Speaker 3: In the movies, Ford beat ferrr E. Will Jerry and
- 25:10Speaker 3: Justin live to regret trading Harry Ford for jose A
- 25:15Speaker 3: ferrer E a relief pitcher.
- 25:19Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to regret it.
- 25:21Speaker 6: I do think that Harry Ford is going to be
- 25:23Speaker 6: an excellent player, but at the same time, he was
- 25:26Speaker 6: stuck behind cal Rawly. So are you going to keep
- 25:29Speaker 6: somebody there for even longer that really has no upward
- 25:33Speaker 6: trajectory or are you going to see what you can
- 25:35Speaker 6: get for him? Obviously, given what they got for him,
- 25:37Speaker 6: then the trade value wasn't as high as we thought
- 25:39Speaker 6: they would, which makes me think they're not going to
- 25:41Speaker 6: regret it, and it is what it is.
- 25:43Speaker 3: Well, I think they might live to regret it, but
- 25:45Speaker 3: I will tell you this. They certainly don't regret it
- 25:49Speaker 3: right now. According to Jerry Depoto and Daniel Kramer's latest article, quote,
- 25:54Speaker 3: we feel like we got the number one trade target
- 25:57Speaker 3: on our list.
- 25:59Speaker 5: Wow.
- 26:00Speaker 3: So they've been after Jose Ferrer apparently for six years.
- 26:04Speaker 3: They wanted him desperately this offseason, and when you think
- 26:07Speaker 3: about it that way.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Man, maybe they didn't have to give up as much
- 26:11Speaker 1: as they thought they were going down gable gabble, gabble.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I mean, it's the idea of when we all knew
- 26:18Speaker 4: Harry Ford was on the trade block and he was
- 26:20Speaker 4: probably going to move somewhere, I think we all had
- 26:22Speaker 4: our hope set really high as to what you were
- 26:24Speaker 4: going to get that obviously was not the market. And
- 26:27Speaker 4: so now you just measure what it is that they
- 26:29Speaker 4: have and Harry Ford is it's not for sure that
- 26:33Speaker 4: he's going to go on to be some great catcher
- 26:36Speaker 4: in the big leagues. I think he is going to
- 26:38Speaker 4: be successful in the big leagues. But at the same time,
- 26:41Speaker 4: you got a guy that has proven to be capable
- 26:44Speaker 4: of pitching in the big leagues and be successful, and
- 26:47Speaker 4: I don't think he's even pop jet. I don't think
- 26:48Speaker 4: he's really achieved what his potential is. I think you
- 26:52Speaker 4: got a guy with a kind of a funky arm angle,
- 26:55Speaker 4: a little bit of a crossbody. There was one hundred
- 26:57Speaker 4: miles an hour and has a nasty change up and
- 26:59Speaker 4: slew gets ground balls. Unlike a lot of people, he
- 27:02Speaker 4: throws a lot of strikes. He's in the strike zone
- 27:04Speaker 4: a lot. I think he's going to be great. I
- 27:06Speaker 4: think we just upgraded our bullpen immensely, probably upgraded the team.
- 27:11Speaker 1: It's probably a win now move. We probably did get better. Yes, right,
- 27:14Speaker 1: one hundred percent think we've got better now now.
- 27:16Speaker 3: Well, we spend ten twelve years watching Harry Ford with
- 27:19Speaker 3: a three eighty five on base, you know, popping twenty
- 27:23Speaker 3: homers for the Nationals.
- 27:24Speaker 1: You treated again, he's.
- 27:25Speaker 4: Going to probably play every day for somebody that's gonna
- 27:28Speaker 4: pitch every other day. So yeah, there's a really good
- 27:31Speaker 4: chance you've got You lost the player that is more
- 27:33Speaker 4: valuable to a team down the road. But right now,
- 27:37Speaker 4: Harry Ford was not going to help us as much
- 27:39Speaker 4: as this guy.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right. Final one.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Bucky talks a big game, but I'm betting Ashley's wine
- 27:45Speaker 3: trip to Tualaton this weekend made Bucky's boy trip look
- 27:49Speaker 3: like milk and cookies at grandma's house.
- 27:52Speaker 6: Well, I'll just say we packed a lot into one
- 27:57Speaker 6: day in the Tuletan Valley and involves lots of wine,
- 28:00Speaker 6: some tequila, some more wine, some vodka.
- 28:04Speaker 5: I think more wine.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Actually, at one point was holding Stacey from Touleton's hair.
- 28:10Speaker 1: There was no hair holding.
- 28:12Speaker 4: There was stuff far beyond hair holding, though, I'll tell
- 28:15Speaker 4: you that.
- 28:17Speaker 1: No. One day in twelt and I mean I had.
- 28:19Speaker 5: Sound like you're talking about breathy meats with that, but yeah,
- 28:25Speaker 5: some other stuff.
- 28:26Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, yeah, a lot of that too. No, there
- 28:31Speaker 4: was no comparison. I'm sorry.
- 28:33Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not insulted.
- 28:34Speaker 1: I'm not even bragging.
- 28:36Speaker 4: It's it was unfortunate at fifty we should not have
- 28:40Speaker 4: done all the things we did.
- 28:43Speaker 1: You can always some breathy meat. Yeah, soak up all
- 28:46Speaker 1: of that fun.
- 28:49Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, All right, going out next, one last thing on.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M.
- 29:00Speaker 1: All right, final segment. Time for one last thing. We
- 29:04Speaker 1: go round the room. Bucky.
- 29:06Speaker 4: I'm wondering if you and Anders and your podcast are
- 29:10Speaker 4: you're doing much on the Rule five draft coming up?
- 29:13Speaker 4: Not a lot, No no, because I've been reading some
- 29:16Speaker 4: stuff that there's a couple young catchers out there that
- 29:22Speaker 4: have some good upside and might be maybe on the
- 29:26Speaker 4: door step of maybe knocking on the door a little
- 29:30Speaker 4: bit of being maybe being.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Ready for the big leagues. Rule five.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Everybody knows, right, if they don't protect him on the
- 29:35Speaker 4: forty man, then you can sniper them. But then you've
- 29:37Speaker 4: got to keep them on the big leagues sake of
- 29:38Speaker 4: cal are you, yeah, yeah, get rid of that dumper guy.
- 29:44Speaker 3: What did he ever do for us? By the way,
- 29:46Speaker 3: he's like at every cracking game now, is he?
- 29:49Speaker 1: Yeah? He was said by Mule Mule yesterday.
- 29:51Speaker 6: Do you know he was wearing two different shirts though
- 29:53Speaker 6: he started out with a sweatshirt. Then they were like,
- 29:55Speaker 6: we gotta get that guy at jersey. So then the
- 29:56Speaker 6: next time they showed him, he was wearing the third
- 29:59Speaker 6: jersey that go in the.
- 30:00Speaker 1: They start chanting m VP for him, and he was
- 30:03Speaker 1: eating a hot dog.
- 30:05Speaker 4: Of course he was a babe ruth, but better No,
- 30:09Speaker 4: just said we need a backup catcher. That would be
- 30:12Speaker 4: a prime way to do it. You get some kid
- 30:14Speaker 4: that you don't you get him up to the big leagues.
- 30:16Speaker 1: He gets to learn.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Under cow Is this your way of saying anything but anything,
- 30:21Speaker 3: anything but Garver?
- 30:22Speaker 1: Please, God Lord hear me. You're damn right.
- 30:26Speaker 4: Until we find out who that is, it might be
- 30:29Speaker 4: my one last thing every day is me coming up
- 30:32Speaker 4: with a way in which it can be anyone but Garver. A.
- 30:37Speaker 3: I was wonder where you're going, Like we're really bringing
- 30:39Speaker 3: up Group five draft right now.
- 30:42Speaker 1: I get where you're going now now it's funny.
- 30:45Speaker 4: If anything Magarver, please, I'm sorry, Garver. You're a nice guy.
- 30:52Speaker 4: You can go be a nice guy and work walks
- 30:55Speaker 4: for somebody else.
- 30:56Speaker 1: I don't think he even wants to come back. Good.
- 30:58Speaker 1: I don't think you gotta worry about it. What's your
- 31:00Speaker 1: one last thing?
- 31:01Speaker 5: Well, we didn't.
- 31:02Speaker 6: We did start off the show kind of talking about
- 31:04Speaker 6: the rain just a little bit with the atmospheric River
- 31:06Speaker 6: and the and then of course the possibility of facing
- 31:09Speaker 6: Philip rivers the atmospheric rivers.
- 31:12Speaker 5: But I did just want to say there.
- 31:13Speaker 6: Was a video of Snowami falls today and it's always
- 31:16Speaker 6: fascinating to look at the falls like on a normal
- 31:19Speaker 6: day and then what the falls looks like right now,
- 31:22Speaker 6: and it is incredible. There is a lot of rain.
- 31:26Speaker 6: So I just want to hope people are safe because
- 31:28Speaker 6: I mean it is not really, it is not anything
- 31:30Speaker 6: to joke about.
- 31:30Speaker 5: There's gonna be a lot of flooding over the next
- 31:32Speaker 5: couple of days.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jacobsons need to be safe.
- 31:34Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we're okay. But there was a lot of water.
- 31:38Speaker 4: I mean our house turned into an island last night.
- 31:40Speaker 4: There was a lot of water. And it's supposed to
- 31:43Speaker 4: be a bad one on Thursday too, possibly worse. I
- 31:47Speaker 4: mean it was right up to the house. I mean
- 31:49Speaker 4: the atmospheric rivers. I mean, are we going to set
- 31:51Speaker 4: the record? I mean, this is the I think this
- 31:53Speaker 4: is brain one.
- 31:54Speaker 6: It's just like there's a break in it today, then
- 31:57Speaker 6: it comes back tonight with wind, and.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Well we already had who previously and now we got
- 32:01Speaker 1: a third one.
- 32:02Speaker 5: I think they said we averaged like six a year.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Oh really, Oh.
- 32:05Speaker 4: Well, this one, because it's warmer too, means that some
- 32:08Speaker 4: of the stuff that would be snow up in the
- 32:10Speaker 4: mountains is not. Excuse me, some of it is, but
- 32:14Speaker 4: some of it isn't. So it's just a bunch of
- 32:15Speaker 4: runoff which is creating all the flooding.
- 32:17Speaker 3: It's bad, all right, I'm gonna close with a little
- 32:19Speaker 3: bit of baseball. By the way, we did tell you
- 32:21Speaker 3: that Edwin Diaz went to the Dodgers. I don't think
- 32:23Speaker 3: I did take the time to tell you. Three years,
- 32:25Speaker 3: sixty nine million dollars. It's a new record for a
- 32:28Speaker 3: relief pitcher, both annual salary and I think overall contract
- 32:32Speaker 3: as well. So the Dodgers get Edwin Diaz from the Mets.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Of course, Kyle Schwarber re signed with the Philadelphia Phillies,
- 32:38Speaker 3: and all the experts are saying the moves are gonna.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Start going now.
- 32:42Speaker 3: Also, we keep hearing this rumor about Trek Scuoble. The
- 32:46Speaker 3: Tiger's president came out and said yesterday, and there's no
- 32:49Speaker 3: reason to say this. Everybody is on the table to
- 32:53Speaker 3: be traded. I think Trek Scooble's as good as gone
- 32:57Speaker 3: from Detroit. It's just trying to figure out where he's
- 32:59Speaker 3: going to go. To make a prediction because I think
- 33:01Speaker 3: it might happen today. San Diego Padres, oh boy aj
- 33:06Speaker 3: Preller just as one of those guys that like he
- 33:09Speaker 3: just goes for it and then when he realized it's
- 33:11Speaker 3: not working, then he sells. He's just buy sell by
- 33:13Speaker 3: self they have had. I looked up their top prospects
- 33:18Speaker 3: from twenty twenty four. Aj Preller has traded ten of
- 33:21Speaker 3: them since twenty twenty four. Ten of his top twelve
- 33:25Speaker 3: prospects he's traded away to other teams to get stuff
- 33:29Speaker 3: to help him now, and then he'll then he'll make
- 33:32Speaker 3: a move too. If it's not working, I'll get rid
- 33:34Speaker 3: of the veteran and I'll bring back prospects. So he
- 33:37Speaker 3: kind of has this revolving door. I think the Tigers
- 33:41Speaker 3: are not a team that is crying poverty. I think
- 33:44Speaker 3: they are a team saying we're just not that franchise
- 33:48Speaker 3: that can sign a guy to a ten year, four
- 33:50Speaker 3: hundred million dollar contract, so we might as well trade
- 33:53Speaker 3: him while we can get some pieces. So I think
- 33:55Speaker 3: those two are going to hook up. I think they're
- 33:56Speaker 3: going to hook up today. I think they're going to
- 33:58Speaker 3: make out right in front of us. So just something
- 34:00Speaker 3: to I mean, that's a bold, outlandish prediction. That's like
- 34:03Speaker 3: predicting Philip Rivers will be the starting quarterback for the
- 34:06Speaker 3: Indianapoli's ridiculous, and yet it just might happen.
- 34:10Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow at six.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Coming up, Next, it's Mark James and Christopher Kids Sports
- 34:14Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
