- 0:18Speaker 2: Welcome to a Bud Light Football Friday. Bud Light, the
- 0:21Speaker 2: official beer sponsor of the Denver Broncos. Remember to enjoy responsibly.
- 0:24Speaker 2: We're still over a week away from the Broncos game.
- 0:27Speaker 2: kicking their season off in Kansas City against the Chiefs.
- 0:31Speaker 2: The Buffs got a win last night. We just talked
- 0:34Speaker 2: to Brian Roth about CSU-Wyoming tomorrow. I mean, the first
- 0:40Speaker 2: NFL game is Wednesday night. So we're just, well, what
- 0:44Speaker 2: is that? I mean, we're fried. So it's here, man.
- 0:47Speaker 1: It's here.
- 0:47Speaker 2: The NFL is all in your face.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Last night, we saw a hell of a finish between
- 0:53Speaker 3: Georgia Tech and CU, and the Buffs are 1-0, for
- 0:56Speaker 3: crying out loud. By the way, where is Brett Cain today, Berto?
- 1:00Speaker 1: Well.
- 1:02Speaker 1: His dad's in town. No, that's not what it is. Actually,
- 1:06Speaker 1: you know what?
- 1:06Speaker 2: And Vic, that is a good question. Here at the station,
- 1:09Speaker 2: we're currently going through performance evaluations, and I'm not sure
- 1:12Speaker 2: Brett's going to make it through that process. But let
- 1:14Speaker 2: me ask you this. Do the LA Angels of Anaheim, California,
- 1:18Speaker 2: do they.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Have to go through the... Review process as well?
- 1:21Speaker 2: Is Mike Trout there like, yo, man, what's your communication skills?
- 1:24Speaker 1: One through five, write yourself.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Yeah, you know those emails that we get sent to
- 1:28Speaker 3: us that you have to watch that HR video?
- 1:30Speaker 1: Yes. I'm sure he got one already. Trout's going to
- 1:32Speaker 1: be getting those videos, man. That's exactly right. And Brett
- 1:35Speaker 1: never did it. Give that guy some credit, man. Who?
- 1:38Speaker 2: Brett or Mike Trout? Just sticking around with him. You're right.
- 1:43Speaker 1: He could force his way. I mean, the money aside,
- 1:45Speaker 1: he could have forced his way any place he wanted
- 1:48Speaker 1: or whatever. He's like, I'm an angel for life. Give
- 1:54Speaker 1: him some sort of credit. He's 35 years old now.
- 1:57Speaker 1: He decided to stick it out. I don't know. Do
- 1:58Speaker 1: you give him.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Credit for not wanting to win and just settling? Is
- 2:02Speaker 2: that what you want? Is that where your mindset at, Moj?
- 2:06Speaker 2: I thought you were about winning.
- 2:08Speaker 1: I am, but there's something to be said for sticking
- 2:11Speaker 1: it out with a team like Megatron did. But Detroit
- 2:15Speaker 1: forever when they stunk.
- 2:17Speaker 2: For a moment there, I thought you were actually talking
- 2:19Speaker 2: about Megatron, like the transformer. I was like, where are
- 2:21Speaker 2: you going.
- 2:22Speaker 1: With this, man?
- 2:22Speaker 2: Where are you going with this?
- 2:23Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson. Right.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Well, the Detroit Tigers faced two Hall of Famers into
- 2:27Speaker 2: early retirement in Barry and Megatron.
- 2:30Speaker 1: The Lions, not the Tigers. Oh, yeah.
- 2:32Speaker 2: They didn't force anyone into retirement.
- 2:33Speaker 1: All right. If you're a CU football fan, how do
- 2:35Speaker 1: we feel about last night? Real good. Right?
- 2:37Speaker 2: Real good.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Real good. It's a win. Here's why you feel good, Vic.
- 2:41Speaker 1: You got a dub. But they kept getting better.
- 2:44Speaker 2: It felt like they kept getting better.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Right?
- 2:47Speaker 3: But they're better in the two areas in which they've
- 2:49Speaker 3: struggled most, in my opinion.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Running the ball and against the run.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Last night, they outrushed Georgia Tech. I never thought this possible.
- 2:58Speaker 1: 183-51. In fact, more than half of.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Those 51 yards that Georgia Tech finished with, they got
- 3:03Speaker 3: on the opening drive. After that, CU shut them down.
- 3:07Speaker 3: And I mean shut them down.
- 3:09Speaker 1: 183-51.
- 3:10Speaker 3: There was a 27-play drive in there, guys.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that? Yes.
- 3:15Speaker 3: A 27-play CU drive in which they just said, you
- 3:18Speaker 3: know what we're going to do?
- 3:19Speaker 1: Line up and run.
- 3:20Speaker 3: I mean, that is as good a running performance I've
- 3:24Speaker 3: seen out of a prime performance since he arrived. And
- 3:28Speaker 3: it was much needed. Now, the game was close. It
- 3:31Speaker 3: wasn't high scoring. You needed every last second of it.
- 3:35Speaker 3: But The biggest difference last night than we've seen other
- 3:38Speaker 3: games coached by this staff, they could run the.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Ball and stop the run. Huge turn of events. I
- 3:44Speaker 1: completely agree. That being said, you get the touch. You
- 3:52Speaker 1: go up 14 to 13 on a PAT that I
- 3:55Speaker 1: think barely squeaked in. Nonetheless, you're up by a point.
- 3:58Speaker 2: It's almost wide right, right?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you have 37 seconds left.
- 4:03Speaker 2: And it was the second play that drive was the
- 4:04Speaker 2: long pass play, the 42-yard.
- 4:07Speaker 1: No, it was the first play. The first play. Was
- 4:10Speaker 1: that the first play? It was a 42-yard pass down
- 4:13Speaker 1: the middle of the field. And I'm like, oh, my. Well,
- 4:16Speaker 1: the kids slipped.
- 4:17Speaker 3: The defender slipped at the line of scrimmage.
- 4:19Speaker 1: And, you know, they blitzed.
- 4:21Speaker 3: They decided to send a blitz in that situation and
- 4:23Speaker 3: it just cost them.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Anyway, so when I saw that play, I'm like, you've
- 4:28Speaker 1: got to be freaking kidding me. They're going to give
- 4:31Speaker 1: up a field goal to lose this thing after.
- 4:34Speaker 2: That drive and that touchdown? And then they block it, man.
- 4:38Speaker 2: They blocked it.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Because I thought, ooh.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Same thing. Were you guys surprised that the Buffs had– well, first,
- 4:44Speaker 2: I was surprised just like Vic, where I was expecting
- 4:46Speaker 2: the Go-Gale offense to be a lot of air yards.
- 4:49Speaker 2: But the Buffs were just smashing them in the face.
- 4:52Speaker 2: They were just running that ball right up the middle.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And give Brendan Marion credit. He saw what was working.
- 4:56Speaker 3: He saw that his young quarterback just was a bit
- 4:58Speaker 3: nervous and just– Couldn't connect, so he went to plan B,
- 5:03Speaker 3: run the ball, and did it well.
- 5:04Speaker 1: That first drive, he was really overhyped. Probably the entire
- 5:08Speaker 1: first half, he was kind of overhyped talking about Juju Lewis.
- 5:11Speaker 1: You've got to remember, he's still only 18 years old.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I know.
- 5:13Speaker 2: He just turns 19 here in a week or two, right?
- 5:16Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still a pup, so... It wasn't just that.
- 5:19Speaker 1: It was the fumbles. It was everything. He couldn't handle
- 5:21Speaker 1: the ball.
- 5:22Speaker 2: How many bad snaps? There was two, three high snaps.
- 5:26Speaker 2: It almost cleared his.
- 5:27Speaker 1: But let me give some love to the Aspen, Colorado native,
- 5:30Speaker 1: Charlie Williams. Because when you go back and you look
- 5:34Speaker 1: at that route.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:35Speaker 1: He baits that corner so hard to the sideline. Great
- 5:40Speaker 1: out and up. And then, I mean.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy was like, where did he go?
- 5:44Speaker 1: And a great catch.
- 5:45Speaker 3: The ball was on the money, but the catch was
- 5:47Speaker 3: just as impressive.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Vic, he caught the back end of the football. I mean,
- 5:50Speaker 1: that was.
- 5:52Speaker 1: So close. Well, how close did you do?
- 5:54Speaker 2: Because the defenders are, like, I thought the defender was going, like,
- 5:57Speaker 2: he cleared that dude's arms and dropped it right into
- 6:00Speaker 2: that pocket for Williams.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie to you.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I didn't know who the hell Charlie Williams was until
- 6:04Speaker 3: this game because that's the state of college football.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Well, he's been around.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 6:08Speaker 1: He's been around the program.
- 6:09Speaker 3: You know, he survived an injured season, played special teams
- 6:12Speaker 3: for the bulk of last season, kept coming out, kept playing,
- 6:15Speaker 3: and there he was saving the game for.
- 6:17Speaker 1: CU last night. But, again, you walk away, the most impressive.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Thing The stable of running backs, Henderson, 65 yards, Welch, 58,
- 6:27Speaker 3: Smith had 42, and Kalen Taylor, 22 yards. The play
- 6:31Speaker 3: of the game, it was third and three. The Buffs
- 6:35Speaker 3: are driving late. They're on 36. They were running or
- 6:38Speaker 3: they were throwing the ball at that point pretty well.
- 6:41Speaker 3: And that's when Brendan Marion called the draw play, and it.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Went for 16. And I thought it was the play
- 6:45Speaker 1: of that drive. The Yellow Jackets had no clue it
- 6:48Speaker 1: was coming.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Well, the broadcast pointed it out. They were like, oh,
- 6:51Speaker 2: that's a great play call right there. Because, I mean,
- 6:54Speaker 2: it just works so well.
- 6:55Speaker 1: So, I guess the question is, we'll see how it
- 6:57Speaker 1: works as we get into Big Ten. Just listen to me.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Big 12 play and so on down the road. But, Vic,
- 7:03Speaker 1: it's the third incarnation now of what you do to
- 7:07Speaker 1: build a roster through the transfer portal. Now, I'm not
- 7:10Speaker 1: saying it's going to be days of wine and roses
- 7:13Speaker 1: from this point on this year, but what you saw
- 7:16Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the football, guys who have
- 7:19Speaker 1: come into the program from guys who have played a
- 7:21Speaker 1: lot of ball, guys who have been around the game
- 7:24Speaker 1: an awfully long time, a lot of snaps in their
- 7:26Speaker 1: college career, but at a lesser school. And these guys
- 7:32Speaker 1: have come in and, you know, maybe they're not the
- 7:35Speaker 1: fastest or whatever, but they have experience. They've been around
- 7:39Speaker 1: the game. I mean, you look at the leading tackler.
- 7:42Speaker 1: The leading tackler, is it Fontenot? What's he say? Fontenot? No, Fontenot.
- 7:47Speaker 2: What was the guy who has a superhero name? Lamont. Lamont.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Lester. Yeah, he came in from Monmouth.
- 7:54Speaker 2: And he was just, I mean, he had three sacks,
- 7:56Speaker 2: and he was just, yeah, he was all over that field.
- 7:58Speaker 2: And you're just like, yeah, where did this guy come from?
- 8:00Speaker 2: I'm here for it. Let's go, Lamont.
- 8:02Speaker 1: But they, so you get, and they get the kid,
- 8:03Speaker 1: ESPN kid, out of Bowling Green. Gideon, ESPN, Lamprey.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Listen, let me ask the two of you, you two
- 8:09Speaker 2: married gentlemen this question.
- 8:10Speaker 1: No, I'd die.
- 8:11Speaker 2: When's the, well, let me, when's the last time You
- 8:14Speaker 2: did something that you know you should have told your wife,
- 8:16Speaker 2: but you're like, nah, I'm just doing it.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Because that's what this dude did.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Can I give you just my, I mean, I don't
- 8:22Speaker 3: want to belittle the kid.
- 8:23Speaker 1: He can't help his name. That's so stupid.
- 8:26Speaker 2: ESPN is the middle name?
- 8:27Speaker 1: Naming your kid ESPN.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I do like the, Gideon's a good first name.
- 8:31Speaker 1: I love that name. Gideon's a good name.
- 8:33Speaker 2: But it almost feels like the father was trolling the mother.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Could be.
- 8:41Speaker 3: That'd be like me naming my kid middle name Vespa.
- 8:44Speaker 2: See, but I like weird names for people, so I'd
- 8:47Speaker 2: be here if you named your kid Vespa.
- 8:49Speaker 1: What middle name would you give your would-be child?
- 8:51Speaker 2: I already said I'm going to name my kid Optimus
- 8:54Speaker 2: Prime if I ever kid. You know what I mean?
- 8:56Speaker 1: I'm going to name my kid the stupidest name ever.
- 8:58Speaker 2: And my kid's going to get beat in school, but
- 9:01Speaker 2: he's going to grow up tough. You know what I mean? Yeah,
- 9:04Speaker 2: it's absolutely a stupid name. I mean, where did you
- 9:06Speaker 2: guys get the names for your kids? Did you guys
- 9:08Speaker 2: just sit down with the wife and chop it up
- 9:11Speaker 2: for like 30 minutes and be like, all right, that's it, John.
- 9:13Speaker 2: We're on John.
- 9:13Speaker 1: It feels like Terry got two and Vic got one.
- 9:16Speaker 1: That's what it feels like.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 9:18Speaker 1: No, we settled on two together.
- 9:20Speaker 3: She got one, but the first one was mine.
- 9:24Speaker 1: The second one was hers. And then I didn't care
- 9:26Speaker 1: at that point. Just do what you want.
- 9:28Speaker 2: More importantly, has any of your children come to you
- 9:31Speaker 2: and say, I hate my name. Why'd you name me that?
- 9:34Speaker 1: Hold on a second. You're telling me that Izzy, like,
- 9:37Speaker 1: she's just like an afterthought? Yeah, whatever. Hey, kid, nobody
- 9:40Speaker 1: wanted to name you. You're lucky you even got a name.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I'm surprised your daughter's not named Van Halen.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it was a thought.
- 9:48Speaker 2: It was close. You almost named her Halen or something?
- 9:51Speaker 1: Halen, yeah. Wow. No way. Are you serious? No, I'm teasing. Oh, really?
- 9:55Speaker 2: Because that seems exactly like what you would do. Like,
- 9:59Speaker 2: I'm going to name my daughter.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Megadeth Mosier? Yeah. Metallica Mosier.
- 10:03Speaker 2: That's exactly what you would name your kid, man. And
- 10:06Speaker 2: I'd be fine with it. I'd be fine with it.
- 10:07Speaker 2: I like weird names, but. Yeah, bus kid win.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Let's see. So around these parts for us to kick
- 10:12Speaker 1: off the college football around these parts, that's pretty good
- 10:14Speaker 1: stuff last night, man.
- 10:16Speaker 2: One thing.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a uniform guy. I'm a uniform guy. Yeah.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I love the black and gold, the black, all black
- 10:20Speaker 2: with the gold mask and the gold.
- 10:22Speaker 1: I don't like the bling face mask. I do not.
- 10:25Speaker 1: It's not.
- 10:25Speaker 2: What do you want?
- 10:26Speaker 1: Because it's not a CU color. That bling face mask
- 10:29Speaker 1: is not. It's not like it was too much.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Black and gold look great together no matter what.
- 10:33Speaker 1: It looked too red to me. It looked too.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Too red.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't. It didn't do it for me. Now,
- 10:39Speaker 1: I like a lot of their other color schemes, especially
- 10:40Speaker 1: when they pull out the all-whites. I love that stuff.
- 10:44Speaker 2: No, the all-blacks are great. You're not going to sit
- 10:46Speaker 2: there like that.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I like the gray, to be honest with you, but whatever.
- 10:48Speaker 1: You're colorblind. Everything looks great to you. That's a good point.
- 10:53Speaker 3: The game not starting on time and it looked humid
- 10:56Speaker 3: as all get out. I was impressed with the amount
- 11:00Speaker 3: of CU fans in attendance in that stadium.
- 11:04Speaker 1: It was loud when CU scored.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I thought after the They gave up the kickoff return.
- 11:10Speaker 1: I was like, oh, boy, it's going to be one
- 11:11Speaker 1: of those nights.
- 11:12Speaker 3: But the defense did not give up a touchdown. Special
- 11:15Speaker 3: teams did. But the defense did not allow Georgia Tech
- 11:18Speaker 3: in the end zone. So defensively, the effort, Chris Marvin,
- 11:21Speaker 3: that group, congratulations.
- 11:24Speaker 1: They were awesome. They were flying to the football last night.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Well, the defense held Georgia Tech to just– they were
- 11:30Speaker 2: 5 of 13 on third down, so the Buffs were
- 11:32Speaker 2: getting them out. But let me ask the two of
- 11:35Speaker 2: you this. How good is the team that the Buffs
- 11:38Speaker 2: beat last night? How good do you think?
- 11:40Speaker 1: I have no idea.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Alberto and Georgia Tech are.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I have no idea.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I mean, it's impossible to discern how good teams are
- 11:46Speaker 3: this early in the season.
- 11:47Speaker 1: I mean, because they change. All I know is this.
- 11:51Speaker 3: You went on the road and you won a road
- 11:53Speaker 3: game against a team that plays in a big conference
- 11:56Speaker 3: that beat you last year. That's nothing to sneeze at.
- 11:59Speaker 1: You should be proud of that. You won a road
- 12:02Speaker 1: game to open the season. You're 1-0.
- 12:04Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody says. I don't want to hear, oh, well,
- 12:06Speaker 3: Georgia Tech sucks.
- 12:07Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Georgia Tech beat you last year. You beat them this
- 12:10Speaker 3: year at their place. You're damn right that's a nice win.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Put that in your belt right now. I said it
- 12:16Speaker 1: earlier in the program, Bert, I think a bowl game
- 12:19Speaker 1: this year is a must. You've got to get to
- 12:21Speaker 1: a bowl game. Well, now you have to win five
- 12:24Speaker 1: out of 11. Are you telling me you can't win
- 12:27Speaker 1: five out of 11 games from this point on?
- 12:29Speaker 2: Sure you can, but once again, once you get into
- 12:31Speaker 2: that conference schedule, there's some nasty... I mean, the Buffs
- 12:33Speaker 2: are going to play how many ranked opponents once they
- 12:36Speaker 2: get to that?
- 12:36Speaker 4: Four?
- 12:37Speaker 2: Three or four once they get to that point? And
- 12:40Speaker 2: only one of those games will be up there.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see what Houston is.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Texas Tech's going to be ranked. Utah's going to be ranked.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Houston's probably going to be ranked. And you know what
- 12:49Speaker 2: I mean?
- 12:49Speaker 1: No, you get all three of those teams at home. Oh, really?
- 12:53Speaker 1: You get Tech at home. You get the Utes at home.
- 12:55Speaker 1: And those are back-to-back games, by the way. And you
- 12:57Speaker 1: get Houston. And you know what? We'll see where Houston
- 13:00Speaker 1: is when you get to November. I don't know where
- 13:03Speaker 1: they're going to be right now. They're 23rd. They had
- 13:05Speaker 1: a good finish to the season last year. I guess
- 13:07Speaker 1: we'll see. But are you telling me they can't– Weber State,
- 13:11Speaker 1: I'm going to call that a given next week.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Okay.
- 13:14Speaker 1: You just can't have a win. All right.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 13:17Speaker 1: But I'm looking like a Northwestern. Should you be able
- 13:19Speaker 1: to go there and win? You should be able to
- 13:21Speaker 1: go to Waco and win. I can promise you that.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Stay tuned for some– lay it down in just a
- 13:27Speaker 1: little bit. Oh. But Tech and Utah and– I mean,
- 13:31Speaker 1: shouldn't you be able to go to Okie State and
- 13:32Speaker 1: give them a game in home against K-State? I think
- 13:35Speaker 1: the answer is yes. It's certainly Cincinnati and UCF to
- 13:38Speaker 1: close out the season.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Well, defense and the running game travel, right? And then
- 13:43Speaker 2: the buff showed you that was probably the two strengths
- 13:45Speaker 2: of the team right there. But once again, I really
- 13:48Speaker 2: liked what I saw from Juju late in that game.
- 13:51Speaker 1: That was important.
- 13:52Speaker 3: He needed that confidence-wise because let's be honest, he was
- 13:55Speaker 3: not good. The first half, at the end of the
- 13:57Speaker 3: first half, was just miserable. And they lost a little
- 14:00Speaker 3: faith in him because they just started running the rock
- 14:02Speaker 3: every time. But to win that game late, when the
- 14:05Speaker 3: Buffs got the ball back with less than two to play,
- 14:08Speaker 3: how many of you actually thought this kid could drive him.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Down the field? Not many. All right?
- 14:13Speaker 3: Not only did he do it, he did it quickly,
- 14:15Speaker 3: and he did it in dramatic fashion with a perfect
- 14:18Speaker 3: pass from Williams to secure that touchdown. That was very impressive,
- 14:23Speaker 3: and that's going to do wonders for his confidence.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Nelly, if you would, please bring up the game-winning touchdown.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Let's watch it together. The out and up.
- 14:32Speaker 2: No, it's great.
- 14:32Speaker 1: It's a great pass.
- 14:33Speaker 2: The drive before they ended in the block field goal
- 14:35Speaker 2: was great, too. Like, I felt like he was like, oh,
- 14:39Speaker 2: Juju figured something out. He's got something.
- 14:41Speaker 1: He got it. And the last thing, Vic, you were
- 14:43Speaker 1: talking earlier, and I had mentioned it. There's no bell cow,
- 14:46Speaker 1: let's say, all right? No, I mean, could Henderson be
- 14:48Speaker 1: a bell cow or Welch be a bell cow? I
- 14:50Speaker 1: don't know.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Three backs all with 40 or more yards in that game.
- 14:53Speaker 1: It's exactly right. So in this go-go offense, you have
- 14:57Speaker 1: two backs on the field lined up in the backfield
- 14:59Speaker 1: virtually every play. You know what I mean? And so
- 15:03Speaker 1: these guys, everybody's going to get a taste. And last
- 15:07Speaker 1: night running the football, in addition to Juju, you had
- 15:11Speaker 1: six guys get a taste of carrying the football for
- 15:14Speaker 1: the Colorado Buffaloes.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Seven if you include Juju, right?
- 15:17Speaker 1: Seven if you include him. All right, here we go.
- 15:22Speaker 1: I like this ankle. Ankle? Angle. A little out and up.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Look at that. Perfect pass. You missed the out and up, though.
- 15:29Speaker 2: And then, not only that, they did the reaction crowd.
- 15:33Speaker 2: They're showing Georgia Tech fan, and you're getting the surrender crowbar.
- 15:36Speaker 2: You're getting those chicks crying.
- 15:37Speaker 3: I actually thought when he threw the pass, I thought
- 15:40Speaker 3: he was going to DeAndre Moore in the end zone
- 15:42Speaker 3: because Moore looked wide open, and it was actually a
- 15:45Speaker 3: touch pass.
- 15:46Speaker 1: To Williams, which was even more impressive. That's a tough
- 15:49Speaker 1: pass to make.
- 15:50Speaker 2: It's not like he just gunned that thing in there.
- 15:52Speaker 2: He had to have some touch on it in the
- 15:54Speaker 2: most important play of that game.
- 15:56Speaker 1: So as just college football fans overall here, to start
- 16:00Speaker 1: off our Colorado State season, be it the Rams, be
- 16:05Speaker 1: it Buffs, it's a pretty good way to start. Yeah,
- 16:07Speaker 1: it's not bad. Natty TV, you get a dub no
- 16:11Speaker 1: matter how it looked. And you're on your way.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Walk-off win is good things. It's Bud Light Football Friday.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Bud Light, the official beer sponsor of the Denver Broncos.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Remember to enjoy responsibly. We roll on next. It's a

- 16:42Speaker 2: 7 with Tyler.
- 16:43Speaker 1: We have a boatload of football on this station, man.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to have a ton of college tomorrow.
- 16:51Speaker 2: We got, I mean... The first NFL game Wednesday night.
- 16:54Speaker 2: We got the game on Thursday here on the station. Yeah,
- 16:56Speaker 2: we're loaded when it comes to football.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Hey, Birdo, I understand.
- 16:59Speaker 3: I was told this by a secure source that now
- 17:02Speaker 3: that KSC has purchased the Angels, you're going to be
- 17:04Speaker 3: doing Angels pre and post.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Listen, let's go. I already do 160 games a season.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Let's add another 162. Let's go, bro. I'm here for it, man.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Although, listen, the Angels.
- 17:17Speaker 2: That whole fan base has to be celebrating like they just.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Won the lottery. You want to do 322 things a year?
- 17:21Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 17:22Speaker 2: I'll do it, man.
- 17:23Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Baseball is crazy, though. The only sport I do that
- 17:28Speaker 2: has weather delays is obviously the Rapids. Those weather delays
- 17:31Speaker 2: freak me out, man, because you know we don't do
- 17:33Speaker 2: that in hockey. Or, well, unless somebody shatters the glass.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Just wait until the Rapids and MLS move to the
- 17:38Speaker 3: standard season.
- 17:39Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to be crazy. You're talking about delays, bro.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Yeah, the sprint season and then, like, the Rapids are
- 17:44Speaker 2: going to be playing in the worst weather in Colorado.
- 17:48Speaker 1: March.
- 17:49Speaker 3: March is going to be, I mean, it's going to be,
- 17:52Speaker 3: I don't know, when do they do their playoffs in
- 17:55Speaker 3: the world clock, on the world clock?
- 17:58Speaker 1: When do those start?
- 17:58Speaker 2: That's what they're joining. They're joining the world... Coming up,
- 18:02Speaker 2: they're doing a sprint season where they're like, let's play
- 18:05Speaker 2: like 14 games in two weeks, and then they're going
- 18:07Speaker 2: to take another break, and then they're going to start
- 18:09Speaker 2: the new season that matches up with the Premier League.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Well, they don't have Premier League. They don't do playoffs.
- 18:13Speaker 1: The winner of the league is the winner of the league. Right, right, right.
- 18:16Speaker 2: There's no such thing. And they have different cups that
- 18:18Speaker 2: they play for and stuff.
- 18:20Speaker 1: But I think with the international players that are now
- 18:23Speaker 1: part of MLS, and we saw plenty of them in
- 18:25Speaker 1: the World Cup, did we not? Mm-hmm. Those guys now,
- 18:30Speaker 1: to be on the same clock is going to help.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Hey, Berto, does the Minnesota team, do they play in
- 18:35Speaker 3: a dome or outdoors?
- 18:36Speaker 2: No, they play outdoors. What the hell are they going
- 18:38Speaker 2: to do? Yeah, well, they're going to, I mean, just like.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Freeze their butts off.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Snow Classico, baby. Yeah, they're just going to play out
- 18:43Speaker 2: in the snow.
- 18:44Speaker 1: That's crazy. Right.
- 18:46Speaker 2: They'd rather play in the snow than play in, like,
- 18:48Speaker 2: the lighting and then, like, what the Buffs had to
- 18:50Speaker 2: deal with last night. But, yeah, it'll be an absolutely crazy, crazy.
- 18:54Speaker 3: See, that's the other thing I wanted to bring up.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Everybody points to Denver and, oh, God, go play the altitude.
- 19:00Speaker 1: It's so hard to deal with.
- 19:01Speaker 3: I think equally as hard is if you're used to
- 19:03Speaker 3: the altitude and then you got to go play less,
- 19:05Speaker 3: not like the Buffs did.
- 19:06Speaker 1: In that humidity. That messes you up, man. Humidity's hard. Well,
- 19:10Speaker 1: how about the gamesmanship from Tech? They chose to wear
- 19:14Speaker 1: their white unis.
- 19:15Speaker 2: All right, to force the buffs into the all blacks.
- 19:17Speaker 1: To force the buffs in 96 degrees and humidity into
- 19:21Speaker 1: all black. Yeah, it did. I mean, I like that
- 19:22Speaker 1: kind of game.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Dolphins have done that for years. But it didn't work. Yeah,
- 19:25Speaker 2: it didn't work. So kick rocks.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, yeah, it's fun.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Do your little gamemanship stuff, but it's got to work.
- 19:31Speaker 1: By the way, whatmanship?
- 19:35Speaker 3: What's Georgia Tech thinking with their game management? At the
- 19:39Speaker 3: end of that game, Get closer. Why are you settling for.
- 19:43Speaker 2: That long field? Was it 13 seconds on the clock?
- 19:46Speaker 2: 15 seconds? You're right. They had enough time to run
- 19:49Speaker 2: another play. They could have got closer. You're exactly right.
- 19:51Speaker 2: That's exactly right. But they kind of just like, all right,
- 19:54Speaker 2: we're good. I think it's because that coach trusts that
- 19:57Speaker 2: kicker with his life.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Well, he got one blocked and he missed one wide
- 20:01Speaker 3: left from chip shot range.
- 20:03Speaker 1: So it's probably not ideal. The Buffs got fortunate on
- 20:06Speaker 1: the scoop and score being blown dead. But when you
- 20:10Speaker 1: look overall at the team stats, Buffs had more first downs.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Buffs committed fewer penalties. Buffs had more time of possession.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Things went the way that you think they should go
- 20:20Speaker 1: for a team to win a game. As far as
- 20:23Speaker 1: turnovers were concerned, they didn't have any of the Buffs.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Georgia Tech had one officially. So, I mean, you did
- 20:30Speaker 1: a pretty good job. I mean, to come out of
- 20:32Speaker 1: the gates like that with all the unknowns, It was
- 20:35Speaker 1: pretty good. Also, hey, Vic, Leggy just released an article. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Leggy just put this up on ESPN, and I had
- 20:43Speaker 2: no idea this was a thing. Mosher, I haven't read
- 20:46Speaker 2: the whole article, but I'm going to try to figure
- 20:49Speaker 2: it out right now.
- 20:49Speaker 1: I'll give you the lowdown. I have read it.
- 20:51Speaker 3: So the Hall of Fame committee for the Pro Football
- 20:53Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, they're making some serious changes.
- 20:56Speaker 1: They've reduced the committee members. It used to be 50.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Now they're going to go to 28. So 25 members are.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Wait, hold on. Is it 28 or 25?
- 21:07Speaker 3: Cut it in half, basically. They're reducing the membership size
- 21:12Speaker 3: of people who make their decisions. They're also, each year,
- 21:16Speaker 3: instead of having these modern era versus senior era, that's
- 21:21Speaker 3: all gone. It's all going to be one selection pool.
- 21:24Speaker 3: And you're available every year.
- 21:26Speaker 1: You don't go away.
- 21:29Speaker 3: If you're a Hall of Famer that is a candidate,
- 21:32Speaker 3: you're a candidate until you're enshrined or until you're not.
- 21:34Speaker 1: So, Shani, I don't know how even to say it,
- 21:39Speaker 1: but he'll be available every year until he gets in,
- 21:42Speaker 1: and it should be next year.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Well, it may not be next year because, remember, the
- 21:46Speaker 3: reason these changes got made is because of the controversy
- 21:51Speaker 3: last year with Bill Bilicek didn't get in. So, they said, yeah,
- 21:54Speaker 3: there's something wrong with the selection process. And there was
- 21:57Speaker 3: a lot of scrutiny over the selection process. So, they
- 22:00Speaker 3: went in and made these changes.
- 22:01Speaker 1: So, if you go in order.
- 22:03Speaker 3: Of course, we know Mike Shanahan deserves entrance, and he
- 22:06Speaker 3: will get entrance. But what if the committee says, well,
- 22:09Speaker 3: you've got to wait your turn for Bill Belichick.
- 22:11Speaker 1: He's now a candidate.
- 22:12Speaker 3: You know, in my eyes, I know that Belichick's not
- 22:15Speaker 3: coaching in the NFL, but he's still coaching. He's still
- 22:18Speaker 3: out there. So just calm down and wait.
- 22:21Speaker 1: You can wait.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Or just put him in. I mean, he's a Hall
- 22:24Speaker 2: of Famer.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Put him in.
- 22:25Speaker 2: I don't care. Like, yeah, we can wait. We can
- 22:27Speaker 2: wait or just be done with it.
- 22:28Speaker 1: But, yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Or, I guess, like, nothing that Bill does at UNC
- 22:34Speaker 2: hurts– his Hall of Fame, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, right?
- 22:39Speaker 3: No, it's the Pro Football Hall of Fame for that reason.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not that big of a deal. I mean,
- 22:44Speaker 2: do you think this change helps some of the Broncos
- 22:47Speaker 2: who probably should be in the Hall of Fame?
- 22:49Speaker 1: Well, there's not really too many out there right now.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Is your boy Nalen?
- 22:53Speaker 1: Mike Chaney?
- 22:54Speaker 3: Each year, a list of 13 players, one coach, and
- 22:57Speaker 3: one contributor. So 15 people overall will be considered for enshrinement.
- 23:02Speaker 3: One coach.
- 23:03Speaker 1: One coach. That's it. Oh, no.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Okay, so that hurts Shanahan, right?
- 23:08Speaker 3: Yes, it hurts Shanahan because now it's not two or
- 23:11Speaker 3: three coaches per year, one coach per year.
- 23:16Speaker 1: All right.
- 23:17Speaker 2: It does say that since the first time since COVID,
- 23:20Speaker 2: they'll do it in person this year to decide the
- 23:24Speaker 2: Hall of Fame.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Well, they should, man. It should be. It should be
- 23:27Speaker 1: the way it was.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Who's going to lose their vote? Who do they tell
- 23:31Speaker 2: your vote's gone, brother? Yeah, kick rocks. Who's telling that?
- 23:34Speaker 2: Who's those guys?
- 23:36Speaker 1: No idea. If it's me. Ask Leggy. Leggy, did you
- 23:39Speaker 1: lose your vote?
- 23:40Speaker 2: That is true.
- 23:41Speaker 1: He wrote the article, which I doubt he did. I mean,
- 23:44Speaker 1: who knows? But the thing is that just fuddy-duddies, man.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Get rid of fuddy-duddies. Let's do it like it should
- 23:51Speaker 1: be done. Get rid of the fuddy-duddies.
- 23:54Speaker 2: Well, I mean, who do you consider a fuddy-duddy?
- 23:56Speaker 1: Well, I don't know who the fuddy-duddies are because I'm
- 23:58Speaker 1: not in that room when they fuddy-duddy. But it just,
- 24:03Speaker 1: to me, it's, you know, with trading votes and all
- 24:06Speaker 1: this kind of crap, you should be able to get
- 24:08Speaker 1: in there and make your case. The way Legge used
- 24:10Speaker 1: to do it for Gratishar. And finally it worked. I mean,
- 24:14Speaker 1: it finally happened, but I'm just saying, you know, he
- 24:16Speaker 1: used to get in there and make the case, and
- 24:17Speaker 1: I'm like, eh, whatever, fuddy-duddies. I don't like them.
- 24:21Speaker 2: I get it, brother, but I don't know if this
- 24:23Speaker 2: helps or hurts like a Tom Nalen or a Rod Smith,
- 24:26Speaker 2: who you're like, man, to me, those are Hall of Famers,
- 24:30Speaker 2: but are they to everyone? Are they nationally to everybody else?
- 24:34Speaker 2: But I think everybody who's an NFL fan knows those names, right?
- 24:38Speaker 1: Yes, they do, but they may be borderline. Those might
- 24:44Speaker 1: be borderline.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Yeah, Shani's not, though.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan is an absolute Hall of Famer as we
- 24:50Speaker 1: live and breathe right now.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Miles. Let me ask
- 24:53Speaker 2: you a question. You ready to lay down, brother? You
- 24:57Speaker 2: ready to.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Well, for entertainment purposes only... Steven, let's get it on.
- 25:23Speaker 1: All right, last week, not a good start to the
- 25:24Speaker 1: season for old Moj. And by the way, I take offense.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Somebody said earlier today, Vic, the way I lay it
- 25:31Speaker 1: down is I fade every Moj pick all year long
- 25:33Speaker 1: and I make tons of bread. They would have if
- 25:35Speaker 1: they did that last week. They would have.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Absolutely made some money.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Well, it's time to get back on the horse. All right, Vic,
- 25:43Speaker 1: where do you want to start? I don't know what's
- 25:45Speaker 1: your pick. You want to start some big games? What
- 25:47Speaker 1: do you want? Start small, go big. Okay, let's start
- 25:50Speaker 1: small and go big. By small, it's important to us,
- 25:54Speaker 1: but Colorado State and Wyoming, the border war. By the way,
- 25:59Speaker 1: 118th border war this year. 118 years they've been doing
- 26:04Speaker 1: that thing. Yeah, that's a lot.
- 26:05Speaker 2: That's a lot.
- 26:06Speaker 1: That's amazing. I'm not picking a side. Even though the
- 26:10Speaker 1: Rams are, what, a three, three and a half point favorite,
- 26:12Speaker 1: depending on where you look. But I think under first-year
- 26:15Speaker 1: head coach Jim Mora Jr. and the Wyoming Cowboys have
- 26:19Speaker 1: their own issues. The over-under is 47.5. I'd take the
- 26:24Speaker 1: under on that. Okay. I think it's going to be
- 26:27Speaker 1: each team's going to have plenty of possessions, but they're
- 26:30Speaker 1: going to feel each other out all game long. I'm
- 26:33Speaker 1: going to go with the under on that. How do
- 26:34Speaker 1: you feel about that?
- 26:35Speaker 2: I was probably going to fail.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Okay, so here's what you do.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Totally.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Here's what you do.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Wait, when do we get to crank that music? Walk
- 26:41Speaker 2: me through this, man.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Walk me through this. So here's what you do. All right.
- 26:44Speaker 1: You get your dog, you throw her in the back
- 26:45Speaker 1: of your Jeep. You go to the bank. You say, hello, Helen.
- 26:49Speaker 1: I don't go to ATMs. I like a real human.
- 26:52Speaker 1: May I withdraw some money out of my account, please? Sure.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Can I see your driver's license? Okay. She gives you
- 26:57Speaker 1: that money. You take your dog up to Blackhawk, and
- 27:01Speaker 1: you say, I'm not picking the Rams or the Cowboys,
- 27:04Speaker 1: neither one. Hope they both win. That being said, the
- 27:08Speaker 1: under 40 season I have? Play it down! Play it down!
- 27:15Speaker 1: Let's get big, and I'm coming after you, Bert, because
- 27:18Speaker 1: the Baylor Bears suck. Yeah. I know they got a
- 27:21Speaker 1: new quarterback in D.J. Lagway. I understand they got him
- 27:24Speaker 1: out of the ACC. I dig all of that, but
- 27:26Speaker 1: they're taking on Auburn, and you know what happened last
- 27:27Speaker 1: year in the season opener in Waco?
- 27:30Speaker 2: Bad things?
- 27:31Speaker 1: Yeah, the Tigers blew the snot out of the Baylor Bears.
- 27:36Speaker 1: This year, they're in Auburn, Alabama. What does that mean?
- 27:39Speaker 1: Seven and a half ain't nearly enough. Is that the line?
- 27:43Speaker 1: Just seven and a half? Seven and a half, yes. Woo!
- 27:46Speaker 1: Auburn Tigers got to get back at it in the SEC,
- 27:49Speaker 1: by the way, man. They've been languishing for too long.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Either way, the Tigers at home against Burt's Bears. Minus
- 27:58Speaker 1: seven and a half. Okay. Now we get some big
- 28:05Speaker 1: ones here. Number seven, Miami, is on the road at Stanford.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Our own Chad Brown is calling this game on radio. Oh, really? Yes.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Do you realize the Stanford Cardinal, did you see the
- 28:15Speaker 1: opening weekend? No. What did Stanford do? What did the
- 28:18Speaker 1: tree do? Vic, what did Stanford's, they played San Jose State,
- 28:21Speaker 1: what did their crowd look like?
- 28:23Speaker 3: It was non-existent versus Hawaii. Oh, it's Hawaii.
- 28:26Speaker 1: That's who it was. Yeah. I mean, absolutely pitiful. Nonetheless,
- 28:30Speaker 1: Stanford has lost 18 of the last 19 games against
- 28:34Speaker 1: Ranked opponents. Miami comes in at number seven. And they
- 28:37Speaker 1: went in early, by the way. This is the only
- 28:40Speaker 1: time they'll travel outside of the Eastern time zone this year.
- 28:44Speaker 1: So they went, Cristobal took his team in a couple
- 28:46Speaker 1: days early just to kind of get acclimated, talk to
- 28:49Speaker 1: some NFL coaches about how to do it. No matter what.
- 28:52Speaker 2: It's minus 24 and a half, Moshe.
- 28:54Speaker 1: I understand that. They got a brand new quarterback in
- 28:56Speaker 1: Darian Mensah. He's the former Duke quarterback. Good player. Good player.
- 28:59Speaker 1: And dig this. Mm-hmm. The last seven Miami quarterbacks to
- 29:04Speaker 1: make their debut for the Canes won that very first game.
- 29:09Speaker 1: This is going to be eight in a row. It's
- 29:10Speaker 1: Miami minus 24 and a half. Silly Palo Alto. Lay
- 29:15Speaker 1: it down. Hey, can I give you something?
- 29:19Speaker 2: Are we going to get an unsolicited Vic pick?
- 29:23Speaker 1: You mentioned Miami, right? Miami. Big bad Miami. Finished second
- 29:27Speaker 1: last year. Everybody rips Notre Dame for its schedule. And
- 29:31Speaker 1: it's all fake. Fake rage. Not being in a conference.
- 29:36Speaker 3: I'm looking at Miami's schedule right now.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Do you know how many ranked teams Miami plays on
- 29:41Speaker 1: the schedule? How many? There's probably not a ton of
- 29:45Speaker 1: the ACC.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Just Notre Dame?
- 29:47Speaker 1: One. Notre Dame. Here's their schedule. Here's their schedule. Listen
- 29:50Speaker 1: to Miami's schedule. Big, bad Miami, right?
- 29:53Speaker 3: Stanford. Florida A & M. Wake Forest. Central Michigan, Clemson,
- 30:01Speaker 3: Florida State, Pitt, North Carolina, Notre Dame, fourth ranked, Duke,
- 30:06Speaker 3: Virginia Tech, and Boston College. Now you tell me, you
- 30:11Speaker 3: tell me, how come Miami doesn't catch any heat for
- 30:14Speaker 3: their schedule?
- 30:16Speaker 1: Listen, man, you're going to have to let go of
- 30:18Speaker 1: last year, bro.
- 30:18Speaker 3: No, but I'm just curious. Why is this narrative only
- 30:23Speaker 3: a one-way street? Listen to those teams I just listed.
- 30:26Speaker 1: What a joke. You're an embarrassment.
- 30:31Speaker 2: That is some chump team. Central Michigan, brother?
- 30:33Speaker 1: They're still going to lay it on Stanford this week.
- 30:35Speaker 1: You can watch that game live on the CNN. What
- 30:37Speaker 1: a joke. They're going to lay it on Stanford this week.
- 30:40Speaker 1: A joke they are, they're going to lay it on Stanford.
- 30:42Speaker 1: All right, final game of the year, and this is
- 30:44Speaker 1: a pretty good one already. This is SEC versus ACC.
- 30:49Speaker 1: LSU has Lane Kiffin as their head coach. Are they
- 30:52Speaker 1: going to use pros? I don't know if they're going
- 30:53Speaker 1: to use pros. Oh, yeah. Are they going to be
- 30:55Speaker 1: kicked out of the SEC? I don't know if they're
- 30:56Speaker 1: going to be kicked out of the SEC. Is he
- 30:57Speaker 1: going to be sanctioned? I have no idea. But you
- 31:00Speaker 1: know what? Right now, I think they're a little overhyped.
- 31:03Speaker 1: And I think they have too many distractions. So, the
- 31:06Speaker 1: Clemson Tigers last year, Vic, finished out of the top 25.
- 31:10Speaker 1: But it's time for them to get back. They got
- 31:12Speaker 1: too many resources and too much at Clemson to be
- 31:16Speaker 1: a crap team. In one poll... If you look at
- 31:20Speaker 1: the AP poll, AP Top 25, they're not there. But
- 31:23Speaker 1: if you look at the coaches' poll, Clemson comes in
- 31:26Speaker 1: at 23. Either way, they're getting 10.5 against LSU. This
- 31:31Speaker 1: is a bounce-back year for the Clemson Tigers in a
- 31:34Speaker 1: game that's going to be one of the marquee games
- 31:36Speaker 1: of the weekend. What are you going to do? El Tigres.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Say it. El Tigres. El Tigres. Plus 10.5. Play it down.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Play it down.
- 31:49Speaker 2: There you go. Lay that down.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Thank you, Bear.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Free money. Free money.
- 31:53Speaker 1: This is a bounce-back weekend for me, a bounce-back weekend
- 31:56Speaker 1: for Clemson. Yeah, I went 1-3 to start out last week.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Virginia was my only win, which stunk. I made an
- 32:04Speaker 1: emotional pick with the Sac State Hornets. That stunk. They
- 32:07Speaker 1: lost by 11. We're getting to 9.5, so screw it.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Texter says, yeah, but Miami didn't choose its schedule like
- 32:14Speaker 3: Notre Dame does.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Oh, really?
- 32:16Speaker 3: You don't choose– Florida A & M, you don't choose
- 32:20Speaker 3: Central Michigan?
- 32:21Speaker 1: Yeah. Those aren't choices?
- 32:23Speaker 2: Matter of fact, I'm sure they're paying Central Michigan to
- 32:25Speaker 2: come down there and play.
- 32:26Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, get in the conference. Do you understand that
- 32:28Speaker 3: playing in this weak-ass ACC would be easier than the
- 32:32Speaker 3: scheduled Notre Dame plays right now?
- 32:34Speaker 1: Easier.
- 32:35Speaker 3: Don't give me this conference crap when your conference sucks.
- 32:38Speaker 2: I get it, brother, but your college has to be
- 32:41Speaker 2: the single most hated university in this country.
- 32:44Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it, and I'm the single most
- 32:45Speaker 3: biggest offender of it.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Right, I do think it's weird, the Notre Dame hate,
- 32:51Speaker 2: but I'm also here for it.
- 32:52Speaker 1: I love it.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Like, what do you think the reaction is if Wisconsin
- 32:57Speaker 2: upsets you turkeys on Saturday?
- 32:58Speaker 1: No, that's a Sunday game, right? Then you know what, Wisconsin,
- 33:00Speaker 1: then it's all hype. There's no way they lose to Wisconsin.
- 33:05Speaker 1: It could happen. No, it can't happen.
- 33:06Speaker 2: I mean, that game's at Lambeau, bro.
- 33:08Speaker 1: It's at Lambeau. It could happen. I'm not one. Hey, dude,
- 33:11Speaker 1: we've seen upsets before.
- 33:13Speaker 3: Nothing surprises me in college football anymore.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Nothing. And it shouldn't surprise you. Vic, there are some
- 33:20Speaker 1: cupcakes on your schedule, too, though. Of course. Of course
- 33:22Speaker 1: there are, but that's this year. Navy, Boston College, Syracuse.
- 33:26Speaker 3: These schedules, when you're making an independent schedule, you have
- 33:30Speaker 3: to make your schedule way years in advance.
- 33:34Speaker 2: All right, it's a Bud Light football Friday.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Here on the station. I'm sure when they were making
- 33:39Speaker 1: it way in advance, Rice was a powerhouse back then.
- 33:44Speaker 3: Well, Wisconsin, when they put Wisconsin on the schedule five,
- 33:48Speaker 3: six years ago, Wisconsin was a top-ten team.
- 33:51Speaker 1: What do they know? I don't know where the hell
- 33:53Speaker 1: they are now.
- 33:54Speaker 3: So you can't predict that. All I can tell you
- 33:57Speaker 3: is what they can do. And hey, man, that Miami
- 34:01Speaker 3: schedule looks blatantly hard. Man, that Florida A & M game.
- 34:06Speaker 2: No, I mean, Notre Dame schedule is a lot tougher
- 34:09Speaker 2: than Miami's.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there's three freaking ranked teams that they play.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Miami plays one.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, you have to go to North Carolina.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Belichick pulls that weird Belichick thing on you.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Not a chance.
- 34:20Speaker 2: You don't think so?
- 34:20Speaker 3: No.
- 34:20Speaker 2: You don't think so?
- 34:21Speaker 1: No, not a chance. I don't know, man. The Irish
- 34:24Speaker 1: will roll them.
- 34:25Speaker 3: Okay. Tonight, on Altitude Radio and Altitude Television, we have
- 34:32Speaker 3: a ranked opponent. Legend, top 10 team in Class 5A,
- 34:36Speaker 3: is going to take on Parker rival Chaparral. Wolverines versus
- 34:40Speaker 3: the Titans, 7 o'clock start.
- 34:41Speaker 1: Be there.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Yeah, Vic and Tyler. Together calling that one. Thanks to
- 34:45Speaker 2: Sports Clip and Wings Credit Union, our sponsor. You can
- 34:48Speaker 2: hear that game at 7 right here on Altitude Sports Radio.
- 34:51Speaker 2: It is a Bud Light football Friday here on the station.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Bud Light, the official beer sponsor of the Denver Broncos.
- 34:59Speaker 2: Remember to enjoy responsibly as on this day we celebrate
- 35:03Speaker 2: Moser asking the longest interview question in the history of interviews.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Just really, just a master class in how to do
- 35:11Speaker 2: this job well. When it comes to talking to people,
- 35:15Speaker 2: we have, you know what? I got a question for
- 35:18Speaker 2: Vic Lombardi. Vic, I would like your opinion on something
- 35:23Speaker 2: when it comes to ESPN and their coverage of the NBA.
- 35:30Speaker 2: With ESPN seemingly not wanting to get anywhere near the
- 35:35Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard controversy and what went on with the LA Clippers,
- 35:41Speaker 2: I was once in a room where a TV executive
- 35:45Speaker 2: told an NBA sideline reporter, I don't care what it
- 35:49Speaker 2: says in your title. You're not a reporter. You're an entertainer.
- 35:52Speaker 2: You're there to entertain me. I don't need you breaking news.
- 35:55Speaker 2: So to ask you this, how much responsibility does ESPN
- 35:59Speaker 2: have to investigate the leagues in which they have a
- 36:02Speaker 2: financial interest in? That was a Mosier-like question.
- 36:06Speaker 1: It did take a while. It's pretty simple to me.
- 36:10Speaker 3: You're going to err on the side of Kasha with
- 36:12Speaker 3: your partners, just like we would never. I mean, I
- 36:15Speaker 3: don't know about you, but if you have horrific news
- 36:18Speaker 3: about the Nuggets or Avs, you're not going to look
- 36:20Speaker 3: to break it on those dials.
- 36:23Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. Now, does it mean
- 36:27Speaker 1: you can't be fair or honest? We're doing a talk show.
- 36:31Speaker 3: If you can't be fair or honest every morning here
- 36:34Speaker 3: about the subject matter you're referring to, then What are
- 36:37Speaker 3: we doing? Then why would anybody tune in? Why would
- 36:40Speaker 3: anybody believe you? Why would you be credible? It would
- 36:43Speaker 3: be a cheerleader outfit. When the Nuggets suck, we say
- 36:46Speaker 3: they suck. When the Avs make a wrong move, they
- 36:48Speaker 3: make a wrong move. We have to be honest. It
- 36:51Speaker 3: doesn't mean that you're going out to break news like
- 36:55Speaker 3: that was broken by Pablo.
- 36:56Speaker 1: It's a different deal.
- 36:57Speaker 3: Chasing that tree is a different deal. We're not in
- 37:01Speaker 3: that business. We're not investigative reporters here.
- 37:05Speaker 2: All right, well, it also felt like ESPN might be
- 37:07Speaker 2: in the business of covering for the NBA when they
- 37:09Speaker 2: put out that article two weeks ago or whatever.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what happened there. I know those authors.
- 37:15Speaker 3: I know that those people that wrote those stories are
- 37:18Speaker 3: noted journalists who do good work.
- 37:20Speaker 1: I don't know if they got fooled. I don't know
- 37:22Speaker 1: what happened.
- 37:24Speaker 3: But those are people that have done great work in
- 37:27Speaker 3: the past, journalistic enterprising pieces, and it turned out what
- 37:31Speaker 3: they wrote that, the Clippers would walk from this and
- 37:34Speaker 3: there was no issue. Completely wrong. They could not have
- 37:37Speaker 3: been more wrong. I don't know where they got their
- 37:40Speaker 3: wires crossed.
- 37:41Speaker 1: I have no idea.
- 37:41Speaker 3: I'm not going to accuse them of buttering up to
- 37:45Speaker 3: the league.
- 37:45Speaker 1: I have no idea. It certainly doesn't feel like it
- 37:48Speaker 1: was anybody inside the NBA because that story wouldn't have
- 37:54Speaker 1: come out because clearly they were getting together the punishment
- 37:57Speaker 1: in a big way.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Well, I guess I'm just saying that if Pablo wasn't
- 38:00Speaker 2: out there, the Clippers would have got away with it.
- 38:03Speaker 2: They would have got away with.
- 38:04Speaker 1: It, right? So it would seem. Right?
- 38:08Speaker 2: Because nobody else cared to cover this, right?
- 38:12Speaker 1: I mean, if it wasn't for Woodward and Bernstein, I mean,
- 38:16Speaker 1: and Deep Throat... Would Watergate, would Nixon still be president
- 38:22Speaker 1: through the 70-whatever?
- 38:24Speaker 2: No, I guess I don't need ESPN to be breaking
- 38:26Speaker 2: sports news first, guaranteed, but I would also prefer them
- 38:30Speaker 2: not to shade the truth when it comes to this
- 38:33Speaker 2: stuff either.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Well, they've been pretty harsh. I mean, did you watch
- 38:36Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith talk about the Clippers and talk about....
- 38:41Speaker 2: No, no, did he go off on.
- 38:43Speaker 1: He destroyed Kawhi Leonard.
- 38:45Speaker 2: Well, I don't even know what Kawhi Leonard's legacy is now.
- 38:47Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Famer. He's a Hall of Famer.
- 38:49Speaker 1: He doesn't have one.
- 38:50Speaker 2: But, yeah. Yeah, I don't... Yeah, the worst thing that
- 38:53Speaker 2: happened to a Clipper franchise was Kawhi Leonard.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Kind of.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Maybe Donald Sterling, but probably Kawhi Leonard. I was just
- 38:58Speaker 2: interested because you're one of the few people, Vic, who
- 39:01Speaker 2: does that job, who has that job, and it's a.
- 39:05Speaker 1: What job? What job?
- 39:07Speaker 2: The NBA sideline reporter. Or just like... You know, like,
- 39:12Speaker 2: you're with the team, you're covering the team, but your
- 39:15Speaker 2: job isn't to dive into, you know, do a deep
- 39:20Speaker 2: dive into what's going on in the private life.
- 39:23Speaker 1: I certainly would never do that with my team. Never. No, never.
- 39:28Speaker 1: I have a different job than I did.
- 39:30Speaker 3: 10 years ago when I worked for CBS when I
- 39:32Speaker 3: was in the news.
- 39:32Speaker 1: You used to be on the news.
- 39:33Speaker 3: It was a different job. It was a different responsibility.
- 39:36Speaker 3: I wasn't beholden to teams, and I wasn't working as
- 39:41Speaker 3: a partner.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Although, say this.
- 39:43Speaker 2: I'm not doing nothing with CBS.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Next question.
- 39:45Speaker 3: When I was there, we partnered up with the Broncos
- 39:48Speaker 3: for four years, and rules change.
- 39:50Speaker 1: Right. They change all the time.
- 39:52Speaker 3: Channel 9. Hey, Channel 9 is partnered with the Broncos
- 39:55Speaker 3: right now. You don't think they have rules? You don't
- 39:57Speaker 3: think they soft pedal some things?
- 39:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they do.
- 39:59Speaker 1: I know they do. Hey, aren't we partnered with Channel 9?
- 40:03Speaker 2: Are we partnered with Channel 9 too?
- 40:05Speaker 1: Yeah, we are.
- 40:05Speaker 2: So what are you saying? Oh, it's part of that agreement.
- 40:09Speaker 2: We can't take shots at Channel 9.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying? Well, I have no reason
- 40:13Speaker 1: to take shots at Chet and I.
- 40:14Speaker 2: I don't either, but now... I have a.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Reason to take shots at a singular person. Who? And
- 40:18Speaker 1: that person knows... I'm not saying it. That person knows
- 40:21Speaker 1: who they are. I've invited that person on this program.
- 40:23Speaker 1: That person has not responded. Don't... You can't just put
- 40:26Speaker 1: that out there and then just say, never mind. No,
- 40:27Speaker 1: I can't. No, no, because you.
- 40:29Speaker 2: It obviously is in your mind. You brought it up
- 40:31Speaker 2: on the.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Just say it. Say the name.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Say the name.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Say the name. Why not? Maybe next week. I'm giving
- 40:36Speaker 1: this person a chance to respond. And.
- 40:42Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not Kathy Saban.
- 40:43Speaker 2: She's awesome.
- 40:44Speaker 3: By the way, Wando brought up a great point. Kudos
- 40:48Speaker 3: to CU.
- 40:49Speaker 1: I was not aware of this.
- 40:51Speaker 3: And I think the CU Buffs, the football team, took
- 40:53Speaker 3: a page from the Japanese World Cup. Not only did
- 40:58Speaker 3: they win last night at Georgia Tech and celebrated, they
- 41:02Speaker 3: cleaned up their lockers so there was nothing to be
- 41:05Speaker 3: cleaned after.
- 41:05Speaker 1: I love that. Coach Pratt made sure that they cleaned
- 41:08Speaker 1: that locker room up.
- 41:09Speaker 3: I love that because if you walk into some of
- 41:11Speaker 3: these lockers today, and I know you've been in there
- 41:14Speaker 3: after a.
- 41:14Speaker 1: Game, holy crap. It's a cesspool.
- 41:18Speaker 3: They clean their lockers up when they left.
- 41:20Speaker 1: That's cool, man. I love that. Hopefully that's a trend. Fantastic.
- 41:25Speaker 1: And that's like making your bed in the morning. That
- 41:27Speaker 1: being said, thank you for filling in today before we
- 41:29Speaker 1: get to drunk takes. Sure. I'm sure you've heard Brett
- 41:33Speaker 1: do the impression of you. Mm-hmm. Do you realize how
- 41:38Speaker 1: good it is?
- 41:38Speaker 2: No, no, no. No, he loves it.
- 41:41Speaker 1: He does it to me all the time. Oh, he does?
- 41:44Speaker 2: Yeah, he comes up to me all the time and
- 41:45Speaker 2: just hits me with an impression.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no.
- 41:47Speaker 2: It's not like I haven't heard it. I hear it
- 41:49Speaker 2: all the time.
- 41:50Speaker 1: Like if you were world famous tonight. It's his favorite guy.
- 41:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:52Speaker 1: If you were a world famous person. Brett could go
- 41:56Speaker 1: on The Tonight Show and be you and absolutely kill it. Yeah,
- 41:59Speaker 1: make money like that Caliendo guy.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Although, did you just, I just saw that story that
- 42:03Speaker 2: John Madden was going to sue Caliendo.
- 42:05Speaker 1: He shared that with us. He came on our show.
- 42:07Speaker 1: He said right there. I didn't know that story. I
- 42:10Speaker 1: didn't know that story until just recently.
- 42:12Speaker 2: And then I guess, and then Madden, who was, it
- 42:14Speaker 2: was Charles Barkley, was like, yo, John, he's like, it's funny, man.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Just roll with it. And then John Madden's like, okay,
- 42:21Speaker 2: I guess so. I guess it's all right.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I had no idea until just that. I had
- 42:25Speaker 1: no idea.
- 42:26Speaker 2: That was crazy.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Absolutely wild. All right, let's get to our favorite part
- 42:28Speaker 1: of the week, shall we? Go, Tiggs! Marjorie Lombardi and
- 42:33Speaker 1: Kane present... Trunk Takes.
- 42:37Speaker 3: For the record, I think this sort of dehumanizes us.
- 42:41Speaker 3: And it really cracks at our credibility as a show.
- 42:48Speaker 1: Trunk Takes. You don't know what to say. It's all sad.
- 42:52Speaker 1: It's our favorite part of the week. We slow things
- 42:55Speaker 1: we say during the week down to half speed. Makes
- 42:56Speaker 1: it sound like we're hammered, Nelly. I'm not a hater. What?
- 43:00Speaker 1: Why are you so offended, Chris? Where's your skin? Is
- 43:06Speaker 1: it as thin as like a titmouse? What's your problem?
- 43:13Speaker 1: A what mouse? What mouse?
- 43:16Speaker 3: A titmouse.
- 43:18Speaker 1: You big titmouses. Did not know what that was. It's
- 43:24Speaker 1: a type of bird. A titmouse is a bird? Yeah,
- 43:27Speaker 1: there's different species of titmouse, yes.
- 43:29Speaker 2: And it's got thin skin, is what you're saying.
- 43:31Speaker 1: It totally does, yes. Brett had to look it up,
- 43:33Speaker 1: and it was confirmed.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Okay, sure, whatever.
- 43:36Speaker 1: What's next, Nelson? I'm not doing that. I'm not. Stop.
- 43:43Speaker 1: Doing what? I'm not doing plums and bananas and hormoses.
- 43:51Speaker 1: I'm not doing it today. What did he just say?
- 43:56Speaker 2: He said, the straight of your mom. Jesus.
- 44:05Speaker 1: Well, you know that joke? Nelly, I told Nelly, I
- 44:08Speaker 1: didn't say it on the air, but is it a
- 44:09Speaker 1: good joke, Nelly? I think it's worth it.
- 44:12Speaker 2: All right, I'll be the judge of that.
- 44:14Speaker 1: I'll tell you all fair.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
- 44:16Speaker 1: What's next? It's my therapy. I spoke to one of
