  Speaker 3: so we look forward to that today live at nine
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: o'clock on the radio program. And so with all that
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: stuff on the plate, I mean, man, I don't know.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna we're a fine time to talk
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: about the Seahawks. But this might be our best opportunity
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: here right off the top of the show to really
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: dive in.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It is hump day, after all, and this is.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Where we start diving into the very next opponent of
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks. I don't even know. Did we even play
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: this past week? Do we even have a game?
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: Game?
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah? Yeah, division game?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure about that. I think we're zero
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and zero on the ear.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: That's how I.
• 2:34
  Speaker 9: Lock it in. Yeah, well you are good at that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: So I mean I think I think I've heard that
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: we've had a pretty good season.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: But to me, it's just zero zero, Yeah, just full
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: steam ahead, superabat.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Why dwell on?
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: Uh huh look at it?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, win or lose. Uh. I put it behind me
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: because I really need.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: To focus on the next opponent, even an opponent as
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: you know, presumably soft, as what the Tennessee Titans are.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's what we have up next. I mean,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: they come up with these terms, and I think that
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: they are legitimate. I think they carry weight. The trap game,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I think that's a real thing. This is not really
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: a trap game. A trap game is one of those
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: that exists where you're coming off a big.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Game and then you're getting ready for a big.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Game the following week, and you got some soft opponent
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: in the middle, and because you're coming off the last
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you know, fevered game and you're getting ready for that
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: matchup the next week, maybe you overlook that team.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: It's not really that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: But there's also something called a letdown game, and it
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: can happen after a win the Rams might have to
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: face that, and I think that they would face that
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: if not for the fact that they're playing Sunday night
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think they're going
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to be fired up at home and ready for that
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: game on Sunday night. But you can also suffer that
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: after a big loss, a tough loss as well, where
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you think, man, we should have had that game, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the next thing, you know, and we can't wait to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: face them again, And the next thing, you know, you
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: haven't gotten ready for the team with the worst record
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: in the National Football League, the Tennessee Titans.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And so that's kind of what you're up against.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And there are other aspects to it, but I'll just
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: say the Tennessee Titans. You know, I played the Houston
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Texans tight here recently, and they're a team that's got
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: playoff aspirations. They played the Chargers within a score here recently,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So I mean, I guess this is the Lou Holtz
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: in me. You know, your dad would look Gabe, I mean,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and that's that's where that's what this week is. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think Mike McDonald will let them do that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: But this is really the first game We've had like
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: this all season long. And I'm not sitting here telling
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you on a Wednesday morning, on a hump Day that
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I'm worried about the Tennessee Titans. But I will say
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: you better not be putting your feet up on the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: desk against them, because you can lose any given week
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: in the National Football League.
• 4:58
  Speaker 9: You can. I you're right. I don't think Mike McDonald.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: I don't think the culture that he's building kind of
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: allows the that to creep in. Now you're human, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: it's not like the Seahawks players aren't going to know
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: on their trip to Nashville that. But these guys aren't
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: really all that good. I mean, they're they're one point away.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: They squeak, yeah, they yeah. They probably looked at something
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: on the World Wide Web and recognized that these guys.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Are I love the idea that Leonard Williams went into
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: the library and rented some micro yah, yeah, just to
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: find out.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: It's like all.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: He takes the big wooden stick with the newspaper dangling
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: off of it. Do you mind if I borrow this? Yeah,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna check this out.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: D Williams.
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: These guys are one to nine. Did you know that
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: we should probably win this one.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: I mean they really the one win they pulled out
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: a one point victory again and the Cardinals. Otherwise they're
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: zero to ten. I mean, this is they're not good.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: The first game they played this year, cam Ward's first
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: game was against the Broncos. I watched that and there
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: was moments that he made a couple throws that looked
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: like a first overall pick, and then there was moments
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: that a lot more moments that he looked like a
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: rookie that was playing on a game that hadn't slowed
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: down at this point, and unfortunately for him, it kind
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: of hasn't really looked like the game has slowed down
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: a whole heck of a lot. When I have one,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: I've gotten better. No, when I've watched some of it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: They don't run the ball very well at all. They
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: don't have big plays, which I think is going to
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: be a detriment to them. There's just not a whole lot.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: They've kind of traded away a couple decent players that
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: they had on defense. I mean, yeah, there's you can't
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: just throw your jock on the field. These are all
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: NFL players that are fighting for their livelihood and fighting
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: for their life in the league, and so they're going
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: to come out and play. But I do think that
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: you take care of business and you can find yourself,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: you know, halfway through the game, or you know, maybe
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: three quarters through the game, and all of a sudden,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: they will roll over a little bit, just simply because
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: they're not very good and they know it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: By the way, everybody in movies that uses microfiche, it's
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: always a female detective. She always has her hair held
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: up by a pencil. Yeah, and then she always has
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: a marker in her mouth.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: And then she'll like take the pencil out to write
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: something even on the markers in her.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Mouth, right and.
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: Click, and she's got the glasses down.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: So that's how I'm picturing Leonard Williams. He's got the
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: hair to put up, he's got a pencil through it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Maybe his playbook, I don't know. Women have an amazing
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: way of holding their hair up with anything. It's like
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: uncooked spaghetti noodle. They'll just hold it up there. But anyway, Bucky,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know you're right. I mean, cam Ward,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: particularly when you have the number one overall picking the draft,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: no matter what talent you have to surround him. You
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: don't expect to have the number one overall pick in
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the draft again next year, and you expect that guy
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: to at least improve. You know that you're putting a
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: talented player on a bad team, but you at least
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: want to see improvement out of, if not the team,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: the player that you took with a number one overall selection.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's sitting here right now ranked thirty third
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: and QBR this year. There are only thirty two teams.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: In the next that's not great.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's of the starters.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I mean he's got the I mean he's behind Russell
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Wilson in QBR. Now, QBR is just one of many
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: stats out there and doesn't tell the entire story, but
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't think anybody wants to be rated
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: below Russell Wilson right now as a starting quarterback in
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the National Football League. And yet there's cam Ward with
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: six touchdowns and six interceptions. That's all he has on
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the season. So we certainly haven't seen the improvement out
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: of him. I guess you could make the excuse of
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: how bad the talent is around him, but I will
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: say this in defense of Tennessee. I mean, nobody's played
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: a more murderous schedule this year. They they haven't played Denver,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the Rams, the Colts twice, the Texans twice, the Chargers
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: and the Patriots.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: And they kept it close with the Texans last week.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: You have to close with a lot of teams.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's eight of your ten games, and then your
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: next two are against the Seahawks.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: And the Jaguars they get no release.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So that's ten out.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Of twelve games. I mean, when the season started, maybe
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: those didn't look like the best teams in the National
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Football League, But now if you look at the standings,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Denver and the Patriots and the Colts are the three
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: best teams in the AFC. Chargers aren't too far behind,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: and the Texans have one of the top two defenses
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: in the.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: National Football League.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: The only relief they've had in their schedule was Arizona
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: and Vegas, who they both had to play on the road,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: and they beat one of those two teams by one point.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I mean, to me, it is a game.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: That you do on your pocket schedule put a w behind,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: but it is also the National Football League, and it's
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: also a team that has been playing hard under their
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: new head coach. They also have an interim head coach
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: that they're operating under, so everything says the Seahawks should
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: have no problem with this game. I certainly expect them
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: to win. But you better have the right mentality going
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: into this game because you get tripped up by a
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: team like Tennessee and all of a sudden, man your season,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: which looked like it was humming two weeks eight days ago,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: suddenly you're like, oh, we've got back to back losses
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and we just lost to the worst team in the
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: National Football League. It can happen, so it shouldn't happen.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Right mentality, it won't happen, But you better have the
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: right mentality going in without a doubt.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not one that would ever think, you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: it's okay to overlook a team, and yet this might
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: be the most confident I would be the most that
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: I would feel that. I mean, at Dick Fane, I
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: think took it in fact or fiction. Yesterday the thirteen
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: point favorite took the Seahawks lay in thirteen points.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I would not do that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: I would do that. I would do that. I think
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't think this team is. I mean,
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: they just lost by seven to the Chargers. Chargers are
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: kind of rudderless right now. The Chargers are not playing
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: very good. I don't know for sure if Houston is
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: really as good as they have seemed like they were
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: going to be a couple of years ago, and still
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: last year won the playoffs. Now, you're right, they've played
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: some tough They've played some tough teams. They've gotten whooped
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: by a lot of those teams too. I mean the Rams.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: You just you just saw you how you measure up
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: against the Rams, and the Rams took care of business.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: I think they beat them by fourteen points. And I
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: just think this is one where I would imagine they
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: beat them.
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: They beat them by at least two touchdowns. I just
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: don't think.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: And you are the world's leader, and if the one
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: team's better, I expect them to dominate them that you
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: are the world's leader in that am I?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, you make most of your picks. You
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: proudly are.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: The big spread.
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, I mean I don't.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: I just I just sometimes feel like there's two different
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: classes of teams. This is one of those situations.
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: You're right.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Mentality plays a role in it. I'm not one that
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: would ever think it's okay to just go out and
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: think bad, we should beat these guys and we'll just
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: think that. You just think that and all of a sudden,
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: sixty minutes later, you're on the winning side of things.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: I just think that if you have the right culture,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: which I think Mike McDonald does, win or lose, this
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: team has the mindset of it's all about the process,
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: get back into the process, and the process is get better,
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: get better at anything that we didn't do properly, which
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: them coming off of a loss last week, I think
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: they're probably motivated to rebound on that. I think it's
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: the exact opposite of While I see the similarities of
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: how it can be a trap game, you can overlook it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: It also is an opportunity, like, no, we got to
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: put our stamp on what the season is and let
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: it be known that when we play the worst team
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: in the league record wise at this point, that we
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: let it be known that we are we still are
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl contender.
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: There we was talking about just a week ago.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, matched up one team to the other,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: we win this game, maybe not by thirteen, but we
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: win this game.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: No problem, right, No stress, no stress.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: But and I do believe that Mike McDonald has the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: right mentality, and I do believe that he's the type
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: of guy that will sit there and remind his players
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: that you don't overlook anyone in the National Football League,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: but a lesser team, a lesser mentality than that exposes you.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And this would normally.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: For a lesser team, a team with a lesser mentality,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: this would be a game I would circle and say, hey,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: be careful because you're gonna you're gonna be sleeping on
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: a one and nine football team that's lost five straight games.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: And yet they've been competitive against some of those teams
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: here as of late. And you just don't want to
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: lose to the Tennessee Titans, not where you're at in
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the season. You just don't want to fall to that
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: one and nine team, which, by the way, late in
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the third quarter was tied with those Chargers. I mean
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: it was seventeen seventeen with two minutes to go in
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the third quarter and they ended up losing by seven.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they've played well.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: I will say the one thing that I that doesn't
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: that I'm not overly concerned about them, thinking it's a
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: trap game or anything like that. Is that they have
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: the attitudes and the conversations we saw happening after the
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: loss to the Rams like they were motivated.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: They were, you know, play them again. Yeah, that's true.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: That's true. I was just about to.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: Say it, team say and then they were like, oh,
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: I can't wait to see them again. I was like, wait, No.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: They weren't like no, but yeah, to go. If if
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: they were to lose that game, which I don't think
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: they're going to. I do think we, as you guys
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: have both said they have the right coach, doing the
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: right things, They've got the right mentality.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: But man, that would be like the most.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Oh it would be yeah, yeah, And I think that's
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: the I think that's the issue I'm pointing out more
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: than anything. If you don't have the right mentality, don't
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: let the Tennessee Titans rock your boat this year. Who
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: cares if you lost a two on the road by
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Rams and you could actually reasonably carry
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the narrative. I think we were better than that team
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, and that's as good a team as there
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: is in the National Football League. I can I can
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: think there's a reasonable that reasonable takeaway from that game
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: if you are the Seattle Seahawks. But if you're still
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: thinking about that game, you can get tripped up by
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: a team like the Tennessee Titans, and so things like
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, this was brought up on yesterday show. If
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Gray's Able's healthy, I'm playing them. I'm not sitting any
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: players because I'm just gonna walk through this thing. Number one,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: because I don't want to take anything for granted.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: And then number two, I certainly don't want.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Sam Donald getting you know, I don't want to weaken
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: the wall in front of Sam Donald. I have a
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: left guard that hasn't given up a sack this entire season.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: If he's healthy, he's ready to go. As an example,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I'm playing him against the Tennessee Titans. I want to
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: take the Tennessee Titans at least that seriously and not
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: just think this is a win. And if you start sitting,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: you know, questionable in guys that you would play other wise,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: that's the trap that I think that you fall into.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: So if Mike McDonald has the right mentality, if he
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: breathed that into his clubhouse on the airplane ride there,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: in every single facet of the game.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we shouldn't have anything to worry about.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: But man, you start sitting guys that are healthy enough
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: to go because you're being careful for them for the
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: following week, That to me is the mentality that gets
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: you in trouble in games like this.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Without a doubt. Yeah, I don't think that they typically
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: do that. It's if it's a if it's one of
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: those where it's questionable, I maybe can I mean literally,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: if it's if you can go, if they they're gonna
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: they're gonna play him. If it's one of those, well
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I think I could tough it out, even it you know,
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: I might only be seventy percent, then maybe you do
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: kind of say, hey, we hopefully can figure out a way.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: I don't want I wouldn't want them to do that,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: because you the last thing you want to have happen
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: is you go into it and is regardless of how
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: good their mentality, regardless how good Mike McDonald is of
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: getting them rallied for the task at hand, if you
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: find yourself, you know, midway through the fourth quarter in
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: a three point ball game, there's no pressure on them.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: They're just like, oh, we can snipe or we can
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: you know, really kind of dash this team's hopes, at
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: least for this week. You don't want to find yourself there.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: I just don't think that they will. And yet we
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: shall see if they how they make any of these decisions.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I do think that you're right, and I certainly hope
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: that you're right. It's just, you know, have your mind right, right,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: if you're a Seahawk, have your mind right. And I
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: do trust that Mike McDonald will get them there. But
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: you just don't want to lose this game.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: No, you really don't.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: And I think as far as Gray's abel goes to,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: you know, assuming that he's if it's any sort of
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: question going into the game, like, oh yeah, he could
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: probably play suit him up, keep him on the sideline.
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: Maybe he never has to go in, but at least
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: you've got him there so that you're not acting like
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: you're overconfident about things.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's find out what we got on
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: tap for you today here on Chuck and Buck.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: What's on?
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: Tell? What's on?
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Te Seahawks at Titan Sunday at ten o'clock. The brand
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: new week of the National Football League gets started tomorrow.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: It will be Buffalo at Houston. There was a thought
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: that CJ. Stroud might play in this game back from
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: the concussion that he suffered a couple of weeks ago.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: That is not the case. They have not conclet They
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: have not cleared CJ. Stroud from concussion protocol.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: And so it'll be Davis Mills getting the start for
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: the Texans tomorrow against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Some other NFL notes that you might find interesting as
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: we really come down to the nitty gritty in our
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: fantasy leagues. If nothing else, Jamar Chase is going to
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: be out for this game. He did appeal the suspension
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: for spitting on Jalen Ramsey. The NFL said, nope, nope,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: We're not gonna do that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, thinks Jamar. Yep, no spitting in the league.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that right now, Chase.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: And so the Bengals will be without Joe Burrow and
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Jamar Chase against the New England Patriots this Sunday. Aaron
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Rodgers might play, by the way, Yes, he did do
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: something injurious yeah to his wrist, but it's not going
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to require surgery, and there is a chance that he
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: might rally and play for Pittsburgh against the Bears, and
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs Ashley's.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Concerned with this.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: He left the game with the Green Bay Packers this
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: past week. It looked bad, and yet they did the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: X rays and found out it was just a bruise.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: So he might even go this week for the Packers
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: against the Minnesota Vikings. All things to keep track of
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: college football playoff rankings came out on a Tuesday. Notre
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Dame ended up a little bit ahead of Alabama that
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: fell after their loss to Oklahoma, and Miami is creeping
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: ever closer. Those are the three big topics of conversation, Alabama,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame, in Miami, and we'll have that conversation later
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: this hour. Dogs are getting ready for the fighting Jerry
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: new ISILs of UCLA. That'll be this Saturday. Cam Cleveland
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: will join us at eight o'clock today to discuss it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Coogs have a national.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Interest game this weekend. They're taking on James Madison, who
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: has a legit shot of making the playoff this year,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: and keep getting overlooked by the committee. They keep jumping
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: two loss teams ahead of James Madison in the process,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: but eventually you might run out of two loss teams
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: and have no choice. The Coogs could soil James Madison's
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: plans of possibly being the ultimate underdog in the playoff
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: where they win. This Saturday, college basketball UDUB was taken
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: to double overtime by Southern, which was a bit of alarming,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: but they did end up winning ninety nine to ninety three.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: There are four to one on the young season, and
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: they won't play again until November twenty seventh. Major League Baseball,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: there was a trade of significance last night. The Baltimore
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Orioles acquired Tyler Ward from the Angels in exchange for
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Grayson Rodriguez, once considered as good a pitching prospect as
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: there was in Major League Baseball, but injuries have sort
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: of steinied his young major league baseball career. The Angels
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: are gonna roll the dice on possibly getting an ace
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: if they can keep them healthy. Meanwhile, the Orioles wanted
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: an offensive veteran right now, and so that was the
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: trade that went down. But the bigger MLB news yesterday
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: certainly happened right here in Seattle. Josh Naylor introduced with
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: his brand new five year contract with the Seattle Mariners
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: we'll hear from Josh next and talk about it on
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Chuckin'buck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM. All are
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: sitting there thinking baseball season is over and sitting around
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: and you're duff. You're missing out on some content right
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: now at sports Radio ninety three point three KJR dot
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: com you can find a brand new article about the
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Mariners off season, or crystal Ball forecast or my personal
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: crystal Ball forecast for the Mariners off season. You can
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: check that out in written form if you need audio form.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Andrews Hurst and I have recorded this week's latest episode
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: of Stove, where we not only go over the crystal
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Ball forecast, but of course it starts with Josh Naylor,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: who yesterday made it official, he with his smiley face
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: press conference with the Mariners. He actually made it official
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: on Monday, signing a brand new deal five years ninety
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: two point five million dollars to remain the Mariners first
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: basement for the next half decade. And yesterday, the very thoughtful,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: the very eloquent Josh Naylor conducted a press conference alongside
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Jerry to Poto, Justin Hollander and others. And so we
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: talk more about nails here today on Chuck and Buck
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: in the Mornings, Ashley Bucket, Chuck with you.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Good to see him all smiley and happy up there.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: I think I would.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I two would be very happy if I knew ninety
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: two and a half million dollars for coming to me
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: to play the game that I love. But nevertheless, it
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: was nice to see just how excited he was to
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: be a Mariner yesterday.
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: I think if somebody just says, hey, hell, one hundred
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: mill or so sound give or take, you know, over
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: the next few years. Okay, yeah, I think I'd be
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: pretty smiley too, But I do genuinely. I mean, you
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: hear what he says. And he loved it here. He
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: was accepted here. The thoughts and I was never traded
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: at the big league level, but I know guys that were,
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: and even guys that are trading at the minor league level.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: There's a thing in your head that goes on of well,
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: do they just.
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: Not want me?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Or they do they really want me? Obviously, in this situation,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: he knew that the Mariners were. He was sought after
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: by other teams. He was a trade deadline kind of
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: a hot pickup that a lot of teams were gonna want,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: and so you go move to another team. But then
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: you got to all of a sudden like, Okay, how
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: is this going to go? How am I going to
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: be accepted? As you know, what's this team going to
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: be like? And for a guy like him that I
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: think prides himself on being a good teammate and wanting
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: to pour everything he has into his team and in
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: return get something back from them as far as energy
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: and the will to want to win, I think that
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: it was it was ass I think that they just
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: matched one hundred percent on it, and it turned out
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: on the field that he was a huge acquisition as well.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, he just.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Has such a unique personality. I don't think there's anybody
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: like him, no in Major League Baseball or in any
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: professional sport that I've come across. He's so very thoughtful,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: and when he speaks you find out just the lengths
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: that he goes to to think about baseball. But then
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: he never offers you anything about his personal life. Yeah,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I mean even to the point where he ordered Mariner's
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: pr not to even mention that he had a baby. Yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: even though everything went well and really, we just wanted
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: to make sure everything went well with it. I mean, sure,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: we wanted you back on the field because it was crucial,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: but we really just wanted to find out that everything
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: went well. And he didn't even want them to reveal
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: that didn't even want them to reveal the gender of
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: his child during the course of that week until on
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: his terms he could announce it, which ended up being
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: in the form of a fancy blue belt to tell
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: us that it was a little baby boy. So he
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: just he keeps things close to the best. So when
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: you have somebody that thoughtful, that interesting, and that careful
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: about what he does provide, you really don't know what
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: he's thinking.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Is he going to stay? Did he like it here?
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: Are we going to.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Find out that the whole time he just couldn't wait
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: to get back to Canada, even if it had to
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: be DH or we're going to find out that his
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: lifelong dream was to be a Pittsburgh Pirate.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you have any We didn't have any
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: until he signed.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what to expect from Josh Naylor, but
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: apparently in his head it was never really a doubt.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: He was asked in the press conference yesterday. Why so quick?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: And the process to sign a deal? Why didn't you
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: play it out?
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, I really enjoyed every single moment I was here,
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: from the players to the head office of the coaching staff,
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: to the rest of the you know, the staff, the
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: kitchen crew, the clubbus managers, and it was just everything
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: was so awesome. I had such a blast being a
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: part of everything, getting to know players on and off
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: the field, and just competing with them. Obviously we fell
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: a little bit short, but you know, I can't wait
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: to run it back with them because they deserve this,
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: the city deserves it, each of each player's family deserves it.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: I can't express how much fun I had on this team.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: It was unbelievable, like tears of joy kind of unbelievable.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: And yeah, I just I love competing and competing with
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: this organization was probably one of my favorites I've ever
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: had in my career. So I'm very, very blessed. I
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: played with some really, really great teams. I was fortunate
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: enough to play with my brother. That was probably the
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: best thing ever, you know, being able to play with
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: your brother and then coming here. It was kind of
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: a whirlwind of years out in Arizona and then ended
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: up getting traded, and getting traded is not easy at times,
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: and you've got to move stuff around. You gotta worry
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: about family and stuff. But they just accepted me right away.
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: They helped me in every single way they could. Teammates
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: embraced me right away, fans embraced me right away. And
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: you know, at the end of the day, they deserved
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: that that world series that we're shooting for here. And
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: I can't thank the fans enough for supporting me as
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: much as they do. I love them and I hope
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: they love me, and I just go out there and
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: compete for them every single night, and you know, God
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: willing bring a world series of this to the city.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: That's what you felt watching them, for sure. You were
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: like you wanted to you thought that's what you were watching.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: You wanted to believe that's what you were watching. But
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: until I mean throwing out the those weird Instagram things
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: like hey, cal, sure was fun, best of luck, Bud.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it's been real. Yeah, stuff like that
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: through y'all throws you off a little bit.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: And so until he signs that dotted line and announces
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: in a press conference what he just announced.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You don't know for sure, but it was it was
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: great to hear. Yeah, I mean, the.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Dude just seems like he's real. Like he's real and
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: the part of him being an ultimate competitor that all
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: he really wants to do is win. Now, everybody that
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: plays any sports they want to win. They want to
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: win a lot, but all they want to do is win. Like,
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: if it doesn't if it means i need to go
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: steal third, even though I'm the slowest guy in the league,
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go do that. Like, there's just some people
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: that just don't have all of what it takes between
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: the years and how and then understanding what it is
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: they bring to the table as an athlete to be
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: able to actually put everything everything into helping your team win.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: And I think he's one of those guys that, you know,
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: baseball is different because you don't have to look like
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: a certain thing to be a good baseball player. You
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: can have different body types and yet you just have
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: to understand that have a good baseball like you.
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: And I think that his is off the charts.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: He talked about the fan embrace, and so he actually
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: expanded on that later on in the press conference. They are.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: They're so cool and super supportive of every in every
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: single way. They they're, like I said, they ride or
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: die fans. They want to see you win. And I
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: feel like when we win, we went together as like
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: the x amount of thousand that are in the crowd,
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: and then also the twenty six on the field, the
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: coaching staff that had office, like we all went together,
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: which is so cool and I feel like it's very
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: rare to have that around the league. But this fan
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: base is absolutely incredible. I have nothing but great things
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: to say about them, nothing but.
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: Love for them.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: I cherish my shoes and I think a lot of
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: people know that, But towards the end of the year,
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: I started to give like my shoes away to like
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: these little kids, just to like see them smile and
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: make them happy. And you know, I hope they appreciated it,
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: and I think they did, and I just I want
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: to continue to make them smile, whether it's with my gameplay,
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: whether it's the little gestures of signing autographs, giving away
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: some apparel. But they are they're a heartbeat, really and
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: I love playing for them, and you know, playing with
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: them on the field, they're they're really with us on
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: the field. The energy they bring it helps us, you know,
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: create runs, create kind of cast in the base path
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: when you strike a guy out. This whole place is
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: rock and it is just unbelievable.
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, he did show up at a time where
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: everything was already switched on, so he didn't really experience
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: anything that wasn't a playoff race or a playoff game.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: But that said, I'll say this, I've been around a lot,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: and I've seen a lot of different fan bases, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: some of those that have been considered the best been
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: around Saint Louis Cardinal fans, who are known for not
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: just cheering for their own guys, but they'll give standing
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: ovations to other guys who've made a great catch or
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: come or who are excellent at what they do. On
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: CUB fans a lot and they're just gonna have a
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: good time no matter what win or lose. That's kind
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: of the cub fan mentality here in Seattle. If you
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: want to be here, man, the Felix Hernandezes of the world,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: when you choose to be here, when you're when you
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: react the way Josh Naylor just reacted in that press conference,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: He's going to be a fan favorite for the rest
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: of his career, there's no question about because Seattle fans
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: love the guy that like he That was him saying.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Part of it was, I'm choosing Mariner fan base boy.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: He's just been he's a fan favorite for the next
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: five years.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Well, he tried to.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, Cal's Cal's always going to be cal. And
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: but Josh Naylor just I mean, if you wanted to
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: pour honey into the ears of your fan base, say
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: that here in Seattle and you've won them over.
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Well he knows what he's doing, and yet I do.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: I think the dude's genuine I think he genuinely means
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: what he what he says, and he says what he feels.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: And you're right, he got to kind of come here
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: right when it was already switched on. But I think
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: this signing and the group of guys that we're going
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: to be able to watch for the next few years,
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: I think they believe this is just the beginning of
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: a long haul of being in.
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: That mode for a while.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: By the way, Jess Dolander did say yesterday that both
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Polanco and Gino Swarez they were trying to re sign
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: that's the first time I think that we've heard it
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: said that plainly. So maybe all three of them come back,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: which is something that I have not been forecasting. We
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: shall see, all.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Right, we'll talk more about it later on in the program.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Coming up next though, brand new college football playoff rankings
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: are out and there's some interesting things right around eight
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: through ten to discuss on KJR.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Well, I was surprised that the selection committee did not
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: reward Alabama's strength of schedule more and have them above
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame because when you.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Look, all right, Chuck Buck actually with you headlines coming
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: up at the top of the hour, plus Greg Bell
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: at seven five here to talk to Seahawks football before
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: the Titans match on Sunday. It is a hump day,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: and of course last night, Tuesday night now belong in
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: large part to the college football rankings update.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And there's Heather Dennich, who's usually dead on with all
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: So when she says that she surprised Notre Dame slipped
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: ahead of Alabama, surprised that obviously the committee right now
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: is valuing the good losses, if there is such a thing,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: over the good wins that have been posted by Alabama.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: But Alabama does have a loss to Florida State and
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: rather lopsided one this year, where Notre Dame has two
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: narrow losses to two of the better teams in college football,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: one of the best teams in college football, so she
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: was expecting Alabama to be ahead of Notre Dame. Here's
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: the little thing about this is and this is where
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I do disagree with Heather. She said that she feels,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: based off of last night's rankings that Notre Dame's locked
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: in with two pretty easy games to close out their
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: regular season and no threat of playing a conference championship
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: game because they're not in a conference. That she believes
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: that this suggests that Notre Dame is in I don't
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: know if I see that, because other teams can strengthen
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: their resume between now and then. Alabama can still win
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: the SEC. As a matter of fact, their road is
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: easier than just about anyone's in the SEC. So if
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: they win the SEC, they jump over Notre Dame for sure,
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: and so that would clear that hurdle.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: That means Notre Dame drops down a spot and.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Then Miami just keeps creeping up. And if Miami somehow
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: gets to the end of this and don't play for
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: the ACC title game and have the same record as
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame at the end of this with an extra
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: winover Pit before the season comes to a close, There's
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: going to be an argument that Miami, because they want
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: head to head over Notre Dame and finished with a
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: ten to two record and might have very similar strength
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: of schedule, they could still climb Notre Dame.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: So I don't think.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame is I don't think the hay is in
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: the barn for Notre Dame at all, even though Heather
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: seems to think that it is.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't think it's a done deal. But then again,
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: this whole thing is intriguing and confusing because, like what
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: you just said, how much credit they're putting to like
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: a good loss, like oh you lost to a good
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: team versus a bad or like all the bad wins
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: or wins against teams that you should beat, and how
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: they're weigh in that whole thing.
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: I'm with you.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: I think that Alabama could still jump up a little bit.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's gonna be some there's gonna be a
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: little bit of carnage. I would think up there above them,
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: But maybe not a ton and so yeah, you are
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: still kind of fighting for that top ten spot and
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: the fact that they right now have them above Alabama.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: But that is interesting because you know, it's one of
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: those Okay, if Alabama doesn't take care of business and
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: then they eject themselves, yes, and yet but if.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: They do take care of business, I guarantee you they're
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: jumping there.
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: Oh for sure.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: If they remain at just two losses and run the
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: table the rest of the way, then yeah, they're definitely
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: going to jump ahead. But then that puts Notre Dame.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: You would think at that point, if they only drop
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: down one, then they still pretty much are safe because
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: those eleventh and twelfth they're going to be those that
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: are at large and the ACC champions.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Well except for maybe Miami.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Miami is probably better off not finishing in the top
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: two in the ACC because if they win the ACC,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: they automatically get in and Notre Dame still gets in.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: But if they don't make it to the title game
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: and don't risk a third loss, then you know, then
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: there will be a discussion, and it might be the
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: discussion for the final spot in the playoff as to
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: how much do we weigh two ten and two teams
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: that played similar strength of schedules this year, and one
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: of them beat the other, even though the other one
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: has been rated higher than them throughout this entire process.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: That might be the discussion at the final, the final
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: stage of this playoff committee debate. And so I don't
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: think Notre Dames Hay is in the barn at this point,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: I'll just put it that way. Sad, yeah, even though
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: it does look like they're going to get there all right.
