10-13 H4: Rick Neuheisel Joins, Thirst For Hirst & One Last Thing · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: As part of our continuing in-depth college football coverage. It's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: time for our weekly visit with college football analyst and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: former head coach Rick Neuheisel. Brought to you by Taco
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Time on your home for college football Saturdays. Sports Radio
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: 93.3 KJR FM.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Ah yes, Rick Neuheisel joins us as he does every
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Tuesday at 9 o'clock and a lot to discuss from
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the college football world. Hi coach.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: How are you, Chuck? Everything okay?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everything's good. I don't know if you even know this,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: but we have you on Tuesdays at 9, and Tuesdays
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: at 8 we have Gene Steratore on, so you could
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: just imagine me swelling with pride watching CBS on Saturday
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: in the studio show, and there's my guys right there,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Rick Neuheisel, Gene Steratore, chopping it up. Great to see
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you guys together.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: We had to have Gene in because there was a
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: gaffe at the end of the Oregon-UCLA game by the
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: officiating crew. And we noticed it in the studio, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Gene was right upstairs. So he hustled down, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: had to be pampered with his makeup and stuff. But
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: he got right into the swing of things and explained
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: what took place.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Please don't tell me if behind the scenes he's like
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: some prima donna, like a monster, because he seems like
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the nicest human being in the world, and I want
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to keep it that way, coach.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Gene is exactly as you envision him. He is incredibly
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: gracious and does such a good job of explaining what
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: sometimes can be very complicated. But the issue at the
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: end of that Oregon game as they scored and had
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: to go for two to tie the game with UCLA
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: is on the original try, the quarterback got his face
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: mask wrapped. And he made it to about probably between
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the one and the two. And the enforcement of the
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: penalty was from the original three yard line, which is
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the original line for the try. It should have been
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: an extension, just as if a face mask happens in
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the normal course of a game. You add it to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the run. You don't take it back to where it happened.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: So that ball should have been inside the one for
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the try, the second try, and instead it was at
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the yard and a half line, and they didn't make it,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: but probably would have had the ball been inside the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: one if you just look at the same play.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: From what I understand, and I may have misinterpreted this
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: from Gene, the ruling was made because no one can
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: stand Dan Lanning and they wanted to punish him. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: think that's why the ruling was made.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what Gene would have said.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I may have misinterpreted that, but it was something loosely
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: related to that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Somewhere in the conversation, it all went down to Lanning
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: and his atrocious sideline apparel.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Are we looking at a coach of the year on
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the other side, Bob Chesney at UCLA?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy. He and Will Stein are battling right now.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Will Stein throwing up deuces there at Kentucky has got
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that team believing like nobody else. And Chesney, I mean,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: it is not outlandish to think that they're going to
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: be in the hunt for the college football playoff. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: this is a team that won three games last year.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Like Kurt Cignetti, he brought a bunch of James Madison
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: guys and just changing the culture and changing the expectation
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: for the UCLA Bruins. I just hope those Bruin fans
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: and Bruin stakeholders will rally behind him and make this
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: more than just a one-off, make this more of a
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: consistent theme there in Westwood.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just an unbelievable job. I didn't expect to turn
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: around this quickly and what Northwestern's doing as well. I mean,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: they're playing, they're behaving like they're going to be a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: college playoff team this year as well. And so really
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: some great coaching jobs being done across America right now.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And I guess that happens every year, but it just
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: seems like there are a few that are cut above
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Well, you're exactly right. And, you know, Sometimes it just
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: takes a little patience, right? You just have to wait
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: for the flowers to blossom, so to speak. And then
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: sometimes it happens literally overnight, which is the case at
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Kentucky and certainly at UCLA. Those guys come in there
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: and get this combination. Now, it'll be interesting to see
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: what happens if Ian Maliava is not available. It looks
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: like that injury is more significant than first thought. But, yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: it's a chemistry equation. Sometimes you just don't get the
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: exact formula right for what you're looking for, and then
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: sometimes you just happen on the perfect ingredient.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Rick Neuheisel is with us talking some college football. So
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: much ground to cover. I do have to ask you
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: about Georgia, Alabama. How big of a beef does Kalen
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: DeBoer have with the officials of America?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Well, that was what we call egregious. You can't miss
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that call. It was obvious. And then, unfortunately, a moment's
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: loss of where you are and what you're doing with
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: that punch at the end of the game cost them
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: their chance to get the ball back. But I think
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: if there's ever a perfect loss, that was one. Because
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: you lost to the number one team in the land.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: You were right there toe to toe and had a
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: chance to win the game. And you've got a freshman
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: quarterback that knows he can play better and yet still
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: played well enough to win. I think Kalen's going to
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: get that team really excited about this particular week. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: as they play that third Saturday in October against the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: folks in Knoxville, I think Alabama is going to be
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: right where they need to be at season's end.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Hmm. They face Tennessee on Saturday, so a good matchup.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Do they come out viciously hungry from this one or
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: still rattled from the way that that Georgia game unfolded?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I think viciously hungry. They've been tested before. They were
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: behind at halftime at Kentucky. They came back and took
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: care of business. The game was competitive in Starkville, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: then they took care of business. I think they come
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: into Knoxville where they're trying to deal with a little
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: bit of a quarterback controversy as to who's going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: be the guy. I think I like Alabama in this game,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and I like them big.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Is Georgia the number one team in America right now?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I think it's fair to say they're playing Kirby smart
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: type of football. And now Kirby's got that type of
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: football at quarterback and Gunner Stockton. He's tougher than nails.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: You know, you and I might want golf clubs for Christmas.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: He wants livestock. And I mean, it's just that's who
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: he is. And it is country and then some, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: that's right down Kirby Smart Lane. So I think you've
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: got to knock them out, and it's not going to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: be easy to knock them out. It's doable, as Alabama showed,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: but you've got to go in there understanding you're going
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: to be in a tussle.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You think Alabama rebounds well from that tough loss? How
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: does Texas rebound from losing to Oklahoma in the Red
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: River rivalry?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: It'll be interesting. Florida comes to town, and I think
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: this is a chance for Stark to really start focusing
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: on the running game. The running game has to go
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: for Arch Manning to achieve his potential. He still has
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: what I call a panic reflex at quarterback, which is
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: when things come unraveled, he's trying to play hero, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: too often the ball gets away from him and it
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: ends up in an ill-advised interception, which was how they
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: lost to Oklahoma. Oklahoma realized they need to be Iowa.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: They need to just run the ball, punt, play defense
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: and see how the field position goes, and eventually we'll
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: make enough plays to win. Michigan, Oklahoma, those teams out there,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M, they need to channel their inner
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Iowa and play like that. And Texas, I think it
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: has a chance against Florida who's given up the, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: defensively they're in the hundreds. I think right now Florida
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: is 109th in defense. This is a chance to run
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the ball, get the offensive line to understand you're going
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: to be the reason we're going to be a championship team.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: We got to do that. And Arch, you come along
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: for the ride, but we're going to help you. We're
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: going to help you with a running game.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Well, you brought up Iowa a couple times, so I
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: guess I'll ask about it now. That Friday night experience
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: for us here in the Pacific Northwest, not a good one.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: What would you say about the state of Husky football
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Listen, DeMond is still a heck of a player, but
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: DeMond will benefit by watching that film. and not the
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: film that he played in, but the juxtaposition of when
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Brown went into the game. Isaiah Brown went back and
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: threw the ball almost to the first choice every time.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: And in so doing, lit up this What was he,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: 28 of 39 for 251? Three touchdowns. Three touchdowns, yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, you just go back and take what they
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: give you and you put it on the money where
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: they can make a play. Too often, DeMond is going
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: back and then trying to climb back in the pocket,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: whether it be his inability to see because of his
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: height or because he's trying to play backyard football and
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: be a hero. You just take what they give you.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: And I still think now Washington cannot survive by having
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: minus three yards rushing. That's never going to be a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: recipe for success. And falling behind 27 to nothing is
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: never going to work either. But they are on to something.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't shock me that Elijah Brown gets to start
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: this week and they'll pick up where they left off.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: But they could use a little Iowa esque. you know,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: thinking as well. And if they'll, and if they'll do
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: that and get back to running the football and having
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: a guy get it out of their hands on time,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: maybe they can go into Purdue and, and, uh, get
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: it done against a team that's pretty hot right now.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: They Purdue, Iowa, Minnesota last week, they ran for over
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: 300 and held Minnesota to less than 50 yards rushing.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And that's real. You think, I mean, because, um, Here,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I thought Minnesota was about ready to make a statement
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: this year, and all of a sudden, Purdue just slaps
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: them down. Egypt boy, 195 rushing yards on Saturday.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: This is the old adage of, you know, you get
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: a little too high. There was a euphoria in Minnesota
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: by capturing the little brown jug with their victory over
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Michigan for the first time since the late 70s. And
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: they looked at Purdue and said, well, Purdue can't beat us.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: And this is what happens to you when you think
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: that this is a I mean, you saw Minnesota. They
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: came into Washington and punched the Huskies in the mouth.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: So this is going to be a great challenge for Washington.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: But I think they go in there with a little
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: different mindset, especially if DeMond is not playing, that they're
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: going to run the ball, be physical, and get the
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: ball out of their hands. They're not going backwards. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: if that's the case, this will be a fourth-quarter game.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Talking college football with Rick Neuheisel, thanks to Taco Time
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and to, of course, Coach Neuheisel as well, every Tuesday
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: at 9 o'clock. And I got one more thing to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: say about last week, and that will transition us into
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the unbelievable schedule on Saturday that we're going to get
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: to entertain and sample. But you were right. I mean,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Indiana did win, but they didn't, you know what, all
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: over their corn in Nebraska on Saturday. I have to confess.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Listen, I had Nebraska. I had Nebraska in this game.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I thought it would be the end of the 30-game
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: losing streak. Instead, it is now extended to 31 games
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: against ranked opponent. They fall and don't get it done.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: But Nebraska played their tails off. Indiana still, to me,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: feels vulnerable. I like Ohio State in this matchup. Maybe
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I'm giving the Buckeyes too much credit. There's some concern
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: with the health of their offensive line. And Indiana will
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: be a different team in front of their home crowd,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: but I still think I've seen enough vulnerability in games
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: against both Nebraska and Northwestern that I like the Buckeyes.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Any chance that that was a trap game last week?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I know you're facing an undefeated Nebraska team in Lincoln,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: but when you're thinking about Ohio State the next week,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: any chance that they played flat because they were looking ahead?
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think it was they played flat. I think
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: it was the excitement of the Nebraska crowd that this
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: could actually happen. And then when it was actually unfolding
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: in front of themselves. And remember, they held Indiana to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: very few yards rushing themselves. So I think it was
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. And then somehow some way
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: on fourth and one, they lost track of Nick Marsh. Who's,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you know, was the top portal acquisition for Indiana from
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Michigan state, the wide receiver. And when he lines up
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: at wing hint, hint, not wink, wink, nod, nod. That
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: isn't because he's there to block. And I mean, Holy smokes.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: They just lost it. They had one, they had one
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: defensive back in the game. One. Because Indiana had sent
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: six or seven offensive linemen in the game, but they
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: kept Nick Marsh in there. And you better cover Nick Marsh.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Is Camario Taylor, does he have to play for Mississippi
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: State in order to, you know, handling another loss this weekend?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: He has to play if they're going to be successful.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: That'd be my guess because he makes so many plays
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: off schedule. I mean, Jeff Levy can call plays until
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: he's blue in the face, but they're not going to
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: look as the same if it's not Camario Taylor, because
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: there's a play a, and there's a play B for Camario.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: And both of them are really, really good place. And,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: and that's not the case with the backup, or at
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: least I haven't seen the backup to know that it
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: would be the case. LSU is a, Sitting there licking
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: their wounds right now. The college sports geniuses have them
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: still ranked while Oregon isn't ranked. And yet Oregon's lost
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: to an undefeated UCLA and a one loss Oklahoma State
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: who are both ranked. And LSU has two losses on
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: the road, but they're the ones that are still in
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: the top 25. But be that as it may, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: think the Bayou Bengals get it done against Mississippi State
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: if Kamario Taylor is not there.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Crazy to say that Mizzou and Ole Miss feels
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: like a playoff game because in that conference, I suspect
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: they're both going to lose one more before the season
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: comes to a close. maybe the winner of this game
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: as a playoff team the way they've played so far
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: This is a chance for Ole Miss to stamp themselves
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: as a real contender by playing defense in this game.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss right now is like 109th in defense this year,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: and that's not good enough if you're going to be
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: a college football playoff team. I know Trinidad-Chandler is sensational,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: but they're going to have to be better on the
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball if we believe that they're
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: going to get it done. Yeah, Ole Miss has got
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: to play better on that side of the ball or
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: they're going to be in trouble. They're 108th. I just
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: said it right, 108th on defense. But it is an
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: interesting game because Austin Simmons, the quarterback for Missouri, was
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: the Ole Miss quarterback until Trinidad came in and then
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: didn't give up his job. So Austin Simmons and Trinidad
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Chambliss going head-to-head in this game in Oxford is a
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: fascinating ballgame to take in.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Another fascinating one, and I didn't think it was going
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: to be at the beginning of the year, but Houston
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: versus Oklahoma State. We already talked about Coach of the
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Year candidates. We have to have two in this game
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: that have to be in consideration for that.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Willie Fritz is doing a heck of a job. Connor Wegman,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: the old A & M quarterback, is his guy. And
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Eric Morris, who was at North Texas last year and
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: won 11 games, brought the whole kit and caboodle with
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: him to Stillwater. And Drew Mestemaker, the quarterback for them,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: is off having an unbelievable game. They put 42 on
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: the board against UCF last week. It should be a
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: great game. Two good quarterbacks that are having big seasons.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I kind of like Oklahoma State in this game.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: All right, final one then for you, and then we'll
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: get to your Taco Time Pick of the Week. Oh,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you've got to love a holy war. You've got, what
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: is this, Catholic versus converts? I mean, this is Notre
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Dame versus BYU on Saturday, and this might be the
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: game of the week. Well, actually, Ohio State-Indiana probably is.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: It's up there, and it's really up there because we
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: haven't seen Notre Dame play anybody. Now, they'll tell you, hey,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: look at Wisconsin. They're playing really well, and Wisconsin and
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: UCLA will be an interesting game this week, a rematch
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: of the 1994 Rose Bowl, which I was a part of.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: But Provo's a tough place to play, and I know
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: they don't have L.J. Martin. They're running back. So if
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame goes in there and extends what I think is,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: what are they, 16 straight wins and all of them
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: double-digit wins, I think that's the deal. If they do
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: this again and win by double digits on the road
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: in Provo, I think you can stamp them as authentic,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: and we can count the days until November 7th when
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Miami comes to South Bend.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: All right, let's close with your taco time pick of
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the week. Any of those stand out, or is there
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: one off the board that I haven't mentioned that you
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: love this week?
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you right now we're taking Alabama
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: and Knoxville. Now, the line started at 6 1⁄2, but
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I think it's up to 8 1⁄2, but I still
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: think that Alabama has the wherewithal, as they're still trying
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: to figure out who's the quarterback there, At Tennessee, Faison Brannon,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: who was the guy and they got benched. McIntyre won
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: at Arkansas, but he threw two picks. I still think
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Alabama is going to go in there and atone for
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: what was a really tough loss at home. Look for
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: the Crimson Tide to roll.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Man, we covered a lot of ground here today, Coach.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: That was impressive.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: That's what we do. Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Efficiency. Yeah, yeah. Way to go. Well done. I'll be
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: watching Saturday. Enjoy. What game do you have this Saturday?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: How about this? How about this, Chuck? We have Penn
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: State at Michigan. And it's the afterthought.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: The big 10. Yeah. But I tell you what, our
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: rating will be high because those fan bases are so
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: loyal and they're going to want to see if there's
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: brand new coaches can figure this out. I mean, Matt
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Campbell's lost three in a row, all conference games to Wisconsin, Tennessee,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: then to Northwestern, and then to USC. And Michigan went
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: through that whole fiasco with Bryce Underwood having lost two
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: in a row now to Iowa and Minnesota, and then
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: the tight end coming out and saying the offensive coordinator
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: doesn't know what he's doing. Bryce Underwood's struggling. It's going
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: to be who's getting off the struggle bus and then
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: some on CBS. All right.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Enjoy. We'll talk to you next week.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: All right, buddy. See you now.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Rick Neuheisel joining us right here on Chuck in the Mornings.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: All right, we have a Thursday, Thursday, Thursday for Anders Hurst.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: We'll quench it next on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Hour or so, Joe Espada has reportedly met with the
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Mariners for their managerial vacancy. And I find this a
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: little weird because he's still technically employed by Houston.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: They haven't fired him yet. I don't think they have. No,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: they have not.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: So it's kind of weird that he's taking meetings for
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: maybe it's a formality like he knows he's going to
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: get fired or something like that. But this would go
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: along with the lines of someone with managerial experience. It
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: would also go along the lines of, hey. someone who
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: can communicate with the Latino players that we've talked about, uh, in, uh,
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: in times past when, in terms of the Ronald Acuna
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: thought process. Um, I don't know what, for me, I
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: think he did a lot with a pretty bad Houston
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: roster in these last couple of years.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I just don't know. I don't think it was a
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: bad roster. I think it was a average, right? He
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: got out of it. What it was.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: And the injuries, uh, Here's your little warning. Whenever your
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: chief rival says, go interview with them, hopefully they'll take
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: you off our hands, you don't want the guy.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Especially when he's still employed by them.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: That's like a football player that's demanding to be traded,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and if they really wanted him, they don't let him.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: If they are sick of him, they're just like, go
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: make a trade. We can't for you, but if you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: can go make one, we'll trade you. We don't care.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: So kind of in the same environment.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it wouldn't super excite me, but we'll kind of
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: see what ends up happening there. Brewers-Dodgers. Did these two
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: teams switch places? Because yesterday, here's how the one team
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: scored their runs. Sack fly, error, error, sack fly. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: here's how the other team scored their runs. Clutch hit,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: clutch hit, home run, clutch hit, clutch hit, clutch hit.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Who do you think were those two teams? The Dodgers
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: were the ones with the sack fly and errors that
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: they scored on. And I kind of would picture the
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Brewers as more the chaos ball. Get on base, put
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: pressure on the defense, make them throw errors and kind
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: of use your every single aspect of the game that
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: you can to try and score runs. And then just
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: the big hits being the Dodgers. But they kind of
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: switched places yesterday and at least in the way they
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: scored runs.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That leaves me a little dry mouth. Okay.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Because I think that the Brewers are a lot better.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: They're not just like hocus-pocus out there. I mean, what
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: they've done through this entire postseason, the amount of pressure
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that they put on a defense, and they hit the baseball,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: but it's walks, stolen bases.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: You know, base hits, putting the ball in play, doubles,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: speed doubles into triples, you know, going from first to third.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: They are constantly, I mean, even the Padres, like Manny
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Machado after two games was just like shaking his head like, Man,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: that team is good. They just constantly put pressure on you.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised by the results that we've seen, especially
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: with a Dodgers team that has an injured Shohei and
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: a couple.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Of other obstacles in their way. Yeah, underperforming Kyle Tucker,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Will Smith. Yeah, Will Smith's done nothing.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Freddie Freeman's hit the ball okay. Mookie Betts is starting
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: to really slow down in his career, even though he's
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: still a good player. But yeah, it's just, I think
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: this is, it's been a fun little series to watch.
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: It feels like the Brewers kind of are finally getting
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: over the hump of that aspect, but I'm not going to.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Go Brew Crew. Go Brew Crew. Well, if they were
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: sitting there searching around for some confidence that they can
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: beat the Dodgers, what does a 2-0 lead do for you?
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: I hope that's something that they can take positively. But
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: it's going back to L.A. I'm not writing them off
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: yet by any stretch of the imagination. On that series,
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: can we be done having local broadcasters on national broadcasts?
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Joe Davis is the Dodgers play-by-play guy for their TV,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: and you can hear it every single call. There was
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: a couple of massive moments yesterday when the game was
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: still close, getting back and forth in the middle innings.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: There was the Christian Yelich 2-RBI. You go from the
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Brewers being down to the Brewers being ahead, and... Joe
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Davis sounds like Aaron Goldsmith when the Mariners gave up
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: their 19th run in Milwaukee. Because it's just like, oh,
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: it's not your Dodgers performing well. I realize, and I
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: don't even really blame Joe Davis that much. It's like,
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: you have inherent bias. You're covering this team for the
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: entirety of the season. You're going to have a little bit,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: even as much as you try and hammer it out,
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: you want the Dodgers to win.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: It's who employs you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: But I just I just think that there needs to
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: be a slight change with the thought process of play
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: by play announcers. But I get he's their number one
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: guy for baseball.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: But look, I think he fights it. I think you
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: can hear him fight it. And I think it is
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: his natural inclination to root for the team that he
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: followed all season long. So I agree with your original comment.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, we. We should have a crew of national
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: broadcasters that don't need an extra regular season paycheck. Big time.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: And if they do need that, if that's what they
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: need in their lives, then why can't we exclude them
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: then from the postseason? I mean, I say that because
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: he's not calling the game, but the Brewers broadcaster... Is fantastic.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: In the opposite series. In the other series. But he's
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: not calling Brewers. Right. Exactly. So I'm with you. I
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: think that there they've got to be two or three
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: national guys that don't have local, you know, especially I mean,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: why does that have to be Joe Davis? It doesn't.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: There's plenty of other guys. I mean, there are a
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: lot of guys like Aaron that has his local team,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: but they didn't make the playoffs. The Tigers guy who
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: does the NBC, Jason Benetti, he's really good. So, yeah,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I could do without him. But it's the way the
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: cookie crumbles. That's their number one team. I get it.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: I don't want this to sound like it's a Joe
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Davis criticism. It's just a decision-making process of having that guy.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: But Sean McVay.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Satisfies me. Yeah. All right. There we go. There we go.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Sean McVay.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Making sure you get your hydration there. After yesterday's loss, he...
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Don't want to cramp up. Don't want to cramp up
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: after a series of bad takes. Would not want that.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Would not want that. The first couple maybe have gotten
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: you close. You're kind of limping a little bit, but
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: you got quenched in the next one. Sean McVay, after
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: the game yesterday, says, It's been a while since I've
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: been pissed after a game like this. And I just
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: want to say to you really quick, Dude, you stormed
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: out of the press conference two weeks ago. When you
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: lost to the Broncos.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: So. Has it really been a while? You're two and three.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And you've been. Pissed.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: After every single one of them. And for different reasons.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: He was like. We probably should have played that audio.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Angry with himself. And he did botch that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Mivas has been struggling. All season long. And not just
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: with his waistline. He's not been good. And it's like.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I get it. These kickers now can make it from 55,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: but 48's not a chip shot for a struggling kicker
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: with the game on the line. And the way that
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: he coached those final moments is like, you're settling for this?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Are you sure you trust Humpty Dumpty over there?
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: It's also very un-Sean McVay. He's usually on the aggressive side.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, he was... He was angry, but he was angry
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: with himself. Yes. And he was also angry with himself
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: for the flight he made. That was his call on
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the flight thing to Australia. So whatever start the Rams
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: are off to, it feels like Sean McVay is blaming
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: himself for their two and three start. Yeah.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Lastly, non-sports related.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Halloween has never been my favorite holiday. It's always been Thanksgiving,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: by the way.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's anybody's favorite holiday. I know a
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: lot of people that say Halloween's their favorite holiday. But
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: it's a great one. I love it.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: But now with a kid, I'm starting to change my tune.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: We're starting to get all of our costumes picked out.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: And all the decorations. And even though he's going to
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: be less than one for his first Halloween, it's it
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: can't even have candy.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: It ramps up from here. Exactly. There's still I trust
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: him with a jawbreaker at this age. Definitely not. That
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: would not be good for him. Eight-month-old.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Let's give you something like that. You won't choke, will you?
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: But no, I'm super excited. We get to do our
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: first family costume. We're going to be the Incredibles. Oh, that's...
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: I almost said incredible, and I'm like, well, that's redundant. Yeah,
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: I've got to get a fat suit for Robert Parr,
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: but my son looks so much like Jack-Jack, it's going
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: to be perfect.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You would call that a fat suit on the dad?
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I thought he was buff. I thought the idea was
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: that he's buff. Well, buff but out of shape. Yeah,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I guess that's kind of more what it is. In
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: the early movie, he's definitely cut because he's younger. But
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: then when he gets older, he gets out of shape,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. Okay.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, I definitely don't have the same build as Mr.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Incredible. No, you do not. I'll put it that way. No,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: you don't. No. You don't. That's the thing about Halloween, though.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Halloween is great. There's like one group of people that
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: don't get to have fun on Halloween. And those are
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: people that are too old for trick or treating and
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: yet aren't ready for college. Yeah. Because it's like that
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: one little group. They're like, well, the tweens. Yeah. They're
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: not allowed to go to a real Halloween. Maybe if
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: you're 16, you're going to a nice Halloween party.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: And mom and dad are all right with you throwing
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: back some Uncle Tom's cough medicine. He's like 10 to 15, though,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: that age. Yeah, 11, 12, 15. That age group hates Halloween.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: They can't do anything. But every other age, awesome. What
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: about young? And you're getting ready for a new phase
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: of Halloween.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Because now you're going to get to see your son
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: love Halloween. Exactly. It's going to be fun. I can't wait.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: All right, one last thing to close out the show
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: next on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. All right, final
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: segment of the show. Time for one last thing before
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: we hand it off to Greg and Jess. Anders, what
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: do you got? All right, back.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: One last little bit of Seahawks 49ers. Just a tiny
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: little aspect that bothered.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I thought we'd moved on.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: I know, I know, I know. I have to get
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: it in there before we, you know, full-on go to...
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: That's one last thing. Do whatever you want. Yeah, when
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks scored the touchdown to go up 22-21 at
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: the time.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: Um it took the took the lead with their six
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: points it didn't end up changing the game or anything
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: like that i just don't know why you don't go
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: for two points there they kick the they kick the
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: extra point to go up by two instead of go
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: for two to go up by three and even if
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: you miss you're up by one there's just no real
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: reason to be up by two instead of be up
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: by one if that makes sense I, it, again, it
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: didn't end up really hurting you. Cause then you go
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: and kick a field goal and then San Francisco scores
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: a touchdown. Um, and then they get the field goal
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: later on. So you lose by three.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: If, but if the only reason is that if you
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: think it's still early enough and you don't think those
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: are going to be the last point scored, sure.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Like, which it wasn't, you know, a lot.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Of teams chase, they call it chasing points too early. Right. Uh,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: and so if Mike McDonald's just saying, I don't think
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: it's time to chase points right now. Like, Just make
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: sure we get the one point out of this. That
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: had to have been the thinking. Whether it's a right
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: thought or not, I don't know. Logically, you'd rather be
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: up three than two. Right.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: And the way I think about it is even if
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: you miss, you're still up by one. And being up
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: by one versus being up by two I see as
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: no advantage. Or sorry, being up by two versus being
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: up by one. Unless you plan on getting a safety,
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: which is pretty rare in today's game.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Well, it would just force the 49ers to go for
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: two if they wanted to be up seven. So that's
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: one thing. If they score again, then we force them
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: to go up two, or force them to go for two.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: They miss that, then we're in good position. Anyways. That's
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: what it is. Whether or not you agree with it or.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Not, but.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Obviously, a lot of coaches, there are a lot of
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: older school coaches that think that they go for two
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: way too early in football games. Yeah, well, I mean,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: it's just, again, it's a moot point.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: Didn't really affect the end of the game, but it's
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: just a thought process I had that I wanted to
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: mention before.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: We move on. Kidd, what's your one last thing?
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: I've been putting this off for years. I was playing sports.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: As you guys can see, I wear glasses, but when
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: I wear sports, I wear contacts. When I play flag
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: football and it's sunny outside, I wear shades so I
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: can see the football.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: When do you go goggles? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar goggles.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: Well, I actually had an incident Saturday playing basketball. Once
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: the basket got knocked around, blinked on the left eye
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: and saw that, oh, it's a little blurry.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Left contact is gone. Right contact is still in.
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: So today I'm going to finally make the purchase and
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: buy some goggles. Yes! So I can be Kid Jabbar
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: and not have to worry about.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, yes.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go get some clear ones, and I
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: will never have to worry.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: I've been saying I need to do this because I
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: was afraid I was going to get poked in the
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: eye at some point.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't get poked in the eye. I just
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: went to the cup.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: I don't know what hit, but somehow my contact just
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: flew out, and I'm blinking like, oh, no.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: And it's just blurry as hell. And everybody was laying
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: on the porch. I'm like, it's gone, guys.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: We're not going to find the contact. I appreciate it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: But this is on me. I'm buying goggles. So today,
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: I'm getting goggles.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: That's great. For some reason, I thought you were going
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: LASIK or something like that. Oh, no. No, I like
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: wearing contacts, actually. Oh, okay.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: That's where I thought you were going. Otherwise, I wouldn't
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: have ruined your finish. I thought you were going LASIK.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: And I was going to say, go goggles. He's going goggles.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: And you're going goggles.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: You're going to be that legend. I just want to
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: be safe. That's fair.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: But also you're going to be that legend. I'm going
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: to get poked in the eye. There you go. That's
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: my one last thing.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: We got a guy against us that's wearing goggles.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Yep. Any of you, either of you ever thought like
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: the guy that wears like the mask because he hurt
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: his jaw or his whatever.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you should just wear that all the time.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Even when your face isn't hurt, because that looks really cool.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: It looks cool. Yes.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: There's a couple guys that did the NBA, but it
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: looked very cool.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Like Phantom of the Opera, like black mask going on.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: All right. My one last thing.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, gosh.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've got time for this. Just
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: some updates on our green jackets at this point. Oh,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I don't have time for this. I really don't. We'll
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: have to do it tomorrow. All right, so there you go.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: There's my one last thing. I was going to give
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: you green jacket updates, but we don't have time for it.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: All right, Greg is coming up next. I'll just use
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: this quickly then since I didn't have one. Man, is
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: that Gregory Russo come into his own for the Buffalo Bills.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: He leads the league in sacks, tackles for loss, and
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: quarterback pressures right now. He has like 18 quarterback pressures
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: through five weeks. Wow. And he also blocked the kick
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: last night from Chunky Butt. that won them the game.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: And so he's like off to a defensive player. And
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: everybody knew he had that talent. They call him Groot.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I am Groot.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: And because of his size and everybody knew he had
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: the talent, he is really coming into his own this year. Man,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I love it when a defensive player can grab your
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: attention all game long. And LaRusso has entered that layer.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: All right. We'll talk to you tomorrow at 6 a.m.
