Oh, this is going to be a game. It's going to be a rough game. Damn. All right. Well, welcome back to the show. We are fully staffed. We just got out of our spring series. That quarterback is still there. So go tune into that video. There's going to be a couple of games. There's three. Three or four. There will be three full games uploaded. I guess that's kind of just spoiled the result. But Alex and I, the stars, did come out on top today. So one more dappage up for that. we won game one pretty convincingly at say game two is also convincingly in game three we had to earn that one yeah but we ended up winning forty to forty one to thirty seven in the end and you know it was a good series I had a lot of fun that's gone getting out there playing with Alex again and yeah Ising and Jack I think they put up a really good fight better than what they think they did and it was a good time I look forward to the next one so definitely was the many this offseason first of many yeah definitely was fun I mean Obviously, we did change our names the unks. So because do we feel like? So are you guys gonna change your logo to like the grill or something like a grill probably like a Marlboro red or ⁓ something? But didn't come out with the win and any of these games this time we had a real shot and that third game But you know if we got the game for there's nothing left in the tank. So I think for both teams. Yes ⁓ There will be game one, two, and three will all be uploaded separately with like a scoreboard and everything. ⁓ then I'm planning on making a highlight reel for all of... So it'll be like, you know, Caleb Mase or highlights stars versus general series and I'll do Jack Witt highlights. So should be fun. There should be a few bridge kid plethora of videos coming up for you guys to watch on that. So I look forward to it. Look more looking forward to editing those this weekend. So YouTube page will be active this week. Yeah, definitely. I love I love playing ball with you all. So it fun. It was ⁓ a good time. It was a good time to be back. No, wait, but ⁓ look at we've had a lot of things happen in the last couple of days since we've last talked or hung out ⁓ The Pistons ended up winning the series. I'm sure that was a huge Huge win for Caleb, but we also did Caleb and I also picked against the Pistons, but I did it did who else to be pretty i must have been nuggets yeah i definitely think that it's and you picked i think i picked cleveland and that would be as yet i mean you you don't have the best record overall could i do i do think you predicted boston to win as well right yeah yeah no i i applaud you for sticking with the tray i definitely gave up on them and i i'll be honest i gave up on them after that first half of game six against orlando but They had one of the best defensive quarters in NBA history. And Orlando, I think their inexperience really got to them. And I'm not saying they have that much inexperience. They've been to the playoffs three years straight. They just don't have it. They don't have it. They don't have it yet, obviously. And the Pistons finally showed why they're the number one seed. And they've carried that. ⁓ Since their win in game five of the first round, haven't lost. So we're 2 and 0 against the Cavs right now. And they're playing like they should have been the whole time against Orlando, and especially now against the Cavs. Their defense has just been great. Dennis Jenkins, he's risen to the occasion finally. He had a great game seven. He had a great game one. Even better game two against Cleveland. And we're going into Cleveland up 2-0. So I'm feeling great as a Pistons fan now. It's just kind of crazy how different week to week you can feel as a fan. So it's been fun. Let's talk about that a little bit more about this Pistons game. The Magic did fire their coach after that game seven lost the Pistons. what are your thoughts about that for a coach that's made it to playoffs the last three years but never got out of the first round? think he fired him a little prematurely, but who knows? mean, we've seen new coaches come in and completely change the franchise before. I'll admit they have been stuck, but it's not because of a lack of coaching talent or lack of player talent. It's because of injuries. You have Franz Vagner only played like 15 games this year and we saw how important he was in this first round if he doesn't get hurt tackle just magic probably win this yeah, know seriously and For them to fire Jamal Mosley it wasn't his fault that they ended up as the eight seed and played the Pistons And I also don't think that collapse was really his fault ⁓ the Magic just straight up could not hit a shot in that third quarter against the Pistons. And I mean, they're the one seed for a reason. Their defense just picked up and maybe they saw Jamal Mosley like that was his fault that they lost. But also they were in that game in game seven. But I don't know, man. I think Jamal Mosley is a good coach. think I think the Magic might have lost a good one with that. ⁓ It really wasn't his fault that the Magic just have underperformed. Like I said, they have talent to be a three seed in the East, and they just get injured every single I think it's more, I don't know how to say this, but I think it's as much as the player's fault. for their playoff like fall apart than it is like the coach. Maybe even more in my opinion, because how do you go? The coach doesn't control 25 straight missed shots from the field. So the coach doesn't control 14 minutes of game time, 14 minutes rolling off the clock of the game without a field goal. That's great. He can't control that. And it's like I think it was deep Mark, Mark D'Antoni or Mike D'Antoni with the Rockets the one year where they were up three two against them. No, it was game seven against the Warriors. They were up by like 12 and this was in 2018. So they were out by like 12 against the Warriors and then they go and miss 27 straight three pointers. And that was the bread and butter of the season. They should have won that and made it to the final year. And. I'm just laughing at Alex crashing out over there. I mean, it's every year with this team. ⁓ We'll get into this, Yeah, I just think, if I'm a Magic fan, I like Jamal Mosley, honestly. So we'll see who they get and we'll see how they do. Maybe they stay more healthy now. It's kind of what happened with the Pistons. They signed Monty Williams. It's huge contract. Ends up being a dogshit coach. And then we get JB Bicker's staff. So who knows? Maybe that's what they need. Yeah. Also, think Paulo Banquero being your main ball handler. They need they need a guard that's not Anthony Black or Jalen Suggs to really just distribute the ball to these guys. ⁓ You know, if they had a Mike Conley, it's a simple pick up. But I think a guy like him would really help. Chris Ball. If he was on this team, they could have had a son's type of run. ⁓ yeah, for sure. When Chris Paul was there. you you just, you don't think, you know, the NBA nowadays, leans so young, you just don't think a guy like Chris Paul is going to do that much. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So. I feel like we've talked a little bit. I think we've talked enough about the playoffs from last round. Let's focus on this round. Obviously, the thunder and Lakers are playing the Pistons and Cavaliers are playing 76 years and next we have what's the other side the Timberwolves and Spurs and Cavs. I said that. OK, I think that's it. Right. Yeah. So far this round, these series are looking like washes. I don't know. We'll see how, Pistons played pretty bad on the road, so I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland takes game three pretty easily. But I don't know, New York's gonna kick the shit out of Philly. They used all their energy. Joellen B didn't even play in game two, so that was tough. ⁓ New York's gonna beat Philly. Spurs are going to beat the Timberwolves. mean, it's just they got absolute they got their ass whooped in game two. They lost by like 60 points. But in game one, they put it to him. The Timberwolves, I think, kind of shocked them a little bit. ⁓ Just coming into their home arena and beating them like that. But I just can't see the Spurs losing to them. I Timberwolves, they're they're they're missing some guys. Spurs are just too good. All right. Let's be honest. And also Lakers. They need Luca Luca is the recipe to beat this Thunder team. And he's the one guy in the Lakers that still hurt. So it's kind of unfortunate. Maybe he'll be back for when the Lakers go back home. That whole injuries is kind of weird. We haven't heard anything really about it. He went over to Europe to get it worked on and stuff. And I think he had a Slovenian doctor work on him. So we'll see. Like what did he have? his hands i think it's this is hamstring right right something like that but yeah i mean we'll see i'd the second round is definitely not as interesting as first round bias it's all that's by his hair skies ankles snapped joe levy ⁓ let's go ahead to be broke I honestly I thought I thought he ended his career. He was holding his hip and it was like unk play. Who was? Tobias Harris. He came too because Donovan Mitchell ran by him and Tobias collapsed. He's holding his hip and I'm like bro no way. That's why they call him Uncle T man. He got right back up and dude he's been putting in he scored 20 points or more in seven straight playoff games now. That's pretty good man. He's kind of become like that second guy we need next decade. It's not Jay Nive. It's not Malik Beasley. It's Tobias Harris, which is, you know, I love to see that because he's been on the Pistons twice now in his career. I loved him in his first stint and he was playing really well and then we traded him for Blake Griffin. Then it all went downhill from there. So now we got him back this time and, know, it's going good. And there's I'm worried if we don't pick him up this next offseason because there's a thing called the Tobias Harris curse where. The next team he goes to always over performs compared to the team he just left. That's Sam. when the Pistons traded him, he went to the Clippers. Clippers did better than the Pistons. Then the Clippers traded him to Philly. Philly did better than the Clippers. Philly then traded him to... Oh, no. Philly just let him go and free agency and then the Pistons signed that signed him and then the Pistons did better than Philly. So now it's like now you have a weird pattern. Yeah, they let him go or no. They definitely might. I feel like Tobias might want to stay, but he's definitely going to have to take less money. mean, he's done really well, but he's on a I think he's on like a 30 million something dollar deal right now, which is what we had to spend to get him here in the first place because we were a 14 win team when we signed him. Yeah, I hope we resign him. I like Tobias Harris a lot. People shit on him because, he misses some open shots. He underperforms in playoff games. But he is doing his thing this year. So I'd love to see that. For sure. other side of the core we have the calves me james hardin has not been clutch at all yet how many turbo turnovers even though asking so many here but many six six i was gonna say six or seven but some crunch time sorry we're just throwing all our guys at him ron holland sarthompson carousel vernesia yeah he's got long arms got length you can defend So we're throwing all these guys at him and it just feels like there's seven Pistons players on the floor defending right now. And also, just James Harden is just not who he used to be. even I've been watching these games closely now and you can just tell, like, he's not doing his step backs. has a quick first step to beat Duncan Robinson, but not anybody else. He used to be doing that to the best defenders nightly in the NBA, but. now at i don't know i think they should have got various garland honestly yeah they got too quick but yeah coaches and gm search they're just so quick to ⁓ moves you know in the pistons are the one seed may have this court the biggest movie made a sign to buy a service paying off so far so you could say the biggest move was trading jaden ivy well i think if you would say that's right he would have crashed out but yep you know will never know never know that all he'd still say we don't matter judgment day he probably would be saying the bulls don't matter but alright so nix and snow white shares we have to disturb your often the see this the series getting close ever maybe that Sixers might steal a game or well Sixers were Sixers were almost they could have won game two really yeah they were close to the end I thought the Sixers made it close in game two. And it said Jalen Brunson was clutch. Yeah, their defense just ain't there. They don't really have anyone who can match up with Cat. Well, Joel Embiid. But if he's not going to play, then it doesn't really matter. They're running Andre Drummond and then a Dem Bona. out UCLA alum. But he's a short center. And he's young. He's inexperienced. So Cat is just going to absolutely dominate on him. And also, no one can guard Jalen Brunson, you know. So I just think the Knicks are too talented for them. So honestly, if I'm a Pistons fan, I hope the Knicks win. Because we swept the Knicks this year in the regular season. So I'm looking forward to that. At least one. If the Pistons win, of course. But what do y'all think about the playoffs so far? know you guys probably haven't. What would you have thought of the playoffs this year so far? Thunder again bailed out left and right. feel like that's your boys though. They're the better team. No, he's a Westbrook guy. He's a King's guy this year. I think the Thunder are definitely the better team. And they've been outplaying the Lakers. But the amount of calls that they get is so frustrating to the game. And I think the Lakers having a little pity party after the game too is soft. I'm meeting other teams and bitched and moan about that Thunder getting calls left and right. You just saw it last year. Nothing. Right. Booker, he took a fine. Right. Call out the refs. Right. He was fine like twenty five thousand dollars for saying like it's ruining our game. Yeah. It's also it is frustrating like Shea for some reason. Like I don't know what it is. Like obviously he's getting contact. But what contact is he getting? That's not different than anybody else. Right. Same moves. You know. So is Kate Cunningham going to get that call probably? I'm sure he would. I think they're in the same echelon. Obviously, Kate's never won MVP before, but I think they're on the same level of, know, because it is true. star players do get more calls. I just see it with the Pistons. Ron Holland does not get those calls, but does Uncle T get those calls? Uncle T does get those calls. He's grandfathered in those calls because he's like thirty five. But Kate does get those calls. But I mean, Kate's actually getting fouled like Shea will literally get like grazed on the arm, you know. And I think in the playoffs, in the playoffs, there's a level of refereeing where... it even if there is content you have to score through contact. Yeah. So I think it is frustrating. I just don't like watching the very every single team they've matched up with this on this playoffs. It's just going to be a wash man. am like literally when the Pistons went to play the thunder this year I was I was so like we rested like all of our starters that game. We almost won but I don't know I just I. It's just not even fun watching the Thunder Man. It sucks to say that because they're so good. But this isn't even like watching the 16, 17 Warriors. They're so good. Like that team was fun to watch. This Thunder team just is not fun for me to watch. And I don't know what it is. And I don't even think it's necessarily the refereeing. It's just they're so good. They're just kicking the other team's ass. Yeah. They're just so much better. ⁓ to that the river yeah perfectly bill loukos playing the series would be different yeah i still don't think it would have one one or two i think they were one of the down three ⁓ they're done to go to a but i don't think i don't think ⁓ the lakers are going to because we forget two years ago thunder with the first seed with the four seated mavericks and career being was playing but he took pj washington Derrick Lively and Daniel Gafford. with that team, he beat that Thunder team basically. it's crazy. In six games as a four seed. I mean, Luca is the recipe you need to beat the Thunder and of course he's hurt. You this is unfortunate. So. It's too bad. It is too bad. J.J. Radick's trying his best though. I respect him for taking that Lakers job and having LeBron and you know, the biggest market in basketball and trying to make it work. ⁓ And they had a good season. I just, can't see LeBron doing this and getting them out of there. too bad. I would have said he was a goat if he won the championship this year. And he still is. No, we're not saying that. needs Anthony Davis back, Steph Curry, and Draymond. Yeah. OK. Maybe Kyrie. Speaking of Draymond, he was at the Pistons game. Yeah, he was. That was kind of cool to see, because Amend Thompson also pulled up to watch his brother play. That was cool. It's cool when you see like Jalen Rose was there, Jameer Gibbs was there, like Aiden Hutchinson was there. Makes me so happy to see Detroit coming together for that. ⁓ Cause that was the most late game of the playoffs this year. So, yeah, for sure. Home game. We finally got a home game on like a week night. It's pretty nice. I watched it yesterday. I was like damn we are kind of cooking these guys right now Get going kid get going kid. Oh, he's fast. Oh, he has 99 speed guys. All right What other series are you looking at like that? No, I don't be like any other series are really that entertaining. I mean San Antonio's we'll see what the Timberwolves do at home if Ant keeps oh What in the JJ we just get into? Yeah, that's a good corner. Write that name down. ⁓ Continue, Cove. ⁓ I was just saying, the Timberwolves Spurs series might end up being good with the Timberwolves back at home. Because we saw it. We saw it with the Sixers. They got their ass beat by the Celtics at home. And then. ⁓ wait no, they got their ass beat by the Celtics in game one of their first round series. They come back and win game two. So you can make a lot of adjustments in the span of two days and I guess we'll see tonight if they made the correct adjustments. yeah. Yeah, Phillies. I feel like they. ⁓ wait, no, we're talking about the Timberwolves. Yeah. Yeah, I think I think they got the staff to do it. They got the roster to do it to give the Spurs a really hard time. ⁓ I can see them pushing it to six or seven games. When these two really fucking good though. Yeah, you saw the Spurs are really well built to. They're kind of like the thunder in the way in a way they have guys that they've they've had for a while and they got just cracked draft picks. They got Wemby, Stefan Castle. got Blake Wesley. Blake Wesley is not there anymore. Unfortunately, who else? They got Dylan. Harper. Yeah, last year's Ronnie Walker. Really good guards. They got length. Why? ⁓ I'm excited to see where it goes. This second round has been kind of underwhelming so far besides that series. So we'll see with Minnesota back at home at the target center what they can do. Yeah. We'll what Popovich can get these guys to Yeah, Pop. He's still involved like the staff, isn't he? Yeah. He's like the They didn't fire him. He just stepped down or something like that and do a different role because he's just so, he's getting old. He's going to help them win the series, obviously. he's a he's a recipe to be in the thunder. You know, I get popping ball series to happen. But it's better not lose to the Timberwolves, so I will be mad. I'll be so upset if the two best teams in the West and the Timberwolves beat the Spurs. Yeah, that'd be crazy. My finals prediction right now is still they're both still in Spurs Pistons. Nice. had the Spurs winning in seven. Damn. Yeah. Spurs whooped the Pistons in the regular season. Damn. games, yeah. Spurs won when they were at home, and then the Spurs won by like 10 when Pistons were at home. Wemby's crazy, Oh my god. Oh my god. this is a six-time yet but the other day but there may be a very very easy you do it it was huge idea is that i realize how big you are is a this like the entire team looks big yeah i don't know if you guys notice but like got some grown men are i also want to say she rich if he keeps on playing the way is playing he'll be all american tight end I have these here tackled a giant or is 96 at all the stars we have cronch and 96 are like one of the greatest edges that we have on this team. Look at 96. You threw a punch. I take as a alarm. Oh, I would do 100 percent take them too. But this is like the next upcoming of those two. Let's hope. the linebackers right the linebacker that guy who just got the tackles from Notre Dame ⁓ yeah Bodie Bodie ⁓ my god he makes us that is a long brother there's no way that's so long no way there's no way yeah didn't all right sure he drilled that ref all right what's going on what else is going on in the sports world outside of the NBA Michigan just made two billion. Michigan made two billion dollars in 500 million. Spring game sales? No. Kal-She. Kal-She basically. It's like they invested into the open AI and they got a two billion dollar payout out of it and 500 million it's going to the NBA. Alpha football and basketball Yeah, I'm right they will be Michigan football is back, baby. Yeah, we'll see all we needed was just one sexual assault and started cooking yeah, we did start cooking Not not saying that was wrong getting snow bunnies was a good thing Yes, it's your own getting out of the building last weekend. Ducky Derby. I mean tempo. Golden, golden came from the back. ⁓ my god. Really from the back. That horse was in like dead last or second to last. No, he was last. He was last. How the fuck did he win that race? it was nuts. He got on his horse, man. He saw his girlfriend. He's like, damn, let's go. the they saw a picture of him and after the race he was just like laying on his side yeah he was done come on Kinsley what else happened I was gonna say I saw that NASCAR was gonna be firekeepers no way oh they're doing a lot of firekeepers hello how are guys having a race they're do a race on the highway there outside of firekeepers I don't know that's crazy that is kind of nuts because I saw in Battle Creek advertising it like all playoffs so saying NASCAR is back so they're one in Ohio and then they said they're doing one in Michigan it's happening at fire keepers what it's in Battle Creek Michigan what racetrack are they gonna do? get oh my god take them out all right Kinsey is uh being benched that was ridiculous. Dermot did play okay. What the hell, Kinsley? That's what Kinsley gets us. Is there really anything outside of the NBA playoffs for us to talk about? I don't think so. Why they still winning? Really? It's got surgery. Yeah, you surgery. ⁓ yeah. So obviously, we're going to see how that ⁓ all pans out. Verlander hasn't pitched, what, maybe twice this whole season, right? Yeah. Caleb, you're right. So this event is at the Michigan International Speedway, which is kind of kind of no, it's over by Jackson. ⁓ I think it's just called the Fire Keepers. whatever race for them. Pretty close. Yeah. says near battle. That would be kind of fun to go to. think that would be fast and left. I have no interest. Let's go. I have a South Park episode. I'm dumb or stupid or you. I think I think going to that. is Kitty in the track? I'd go for the names. go to Danica Patrick in the way. Oh, yeah. Danny Danica, the Danica and stupid or new. Danica, just try again. in of me and rip my car. Bruns are over. Damn it, Eric. Dude, Vlisra lit his ass up. Vlisra's a menace, this game. All right, Dermot McDermot. Get it to Jelly Bean. Hey, shout out Jordan Pierce. We put your Jelly Bean. you we know you a watch ⁓ out all the kids that we do have ⁓ so jelly bean ⁓ we just got big mac shown born we just got coles you bridges kid chicory's shoe bridge so think there is a key came back came back from tcu you love this a lot of tcu for a little bit i'd honestly he's not playing bad no he's actually has a touchdown all right holy god all the other there it's a rivalry game and ratings don't matter But that's, mean, obviously we have... Is it the queries we show to Yeah. So she queries and Aquarius on our team. So they could between why we're mad. OK, we're in the big 10. Yeah, here we go. Explain the war. Oh, yeah. We were playing Southern Miss. no one. Yeah. Why is there a rival who would like to explain five years? You are probably better at storytelling. All of us. The first game in the sumbell. Yeah, it was one of our first. And then it was in our account. Go ahead. I mean, I'm sorry. We started this probably, we're probably six seasons into this now, I would say. No, five. Five seasons into this. Our first year, we weren't that good of a school. We replaced Georgia Tech. Georgia Southern. That's what it was. And they were in the Sunbelt. So we ended up being in the... No! Take it, baby! Touchdown! Let's go! Sweet. I'm glad I got that on camera. That was actually sweet. Anyways before that's 90 speed right there back up. I'm back. I'm Carlos kind of kind of a conker I got to see this. Is that considered a passing touchdown? Dermot planned it. but anyways so we drew it up we're in the Sunbelt right so we ended up having a great year we beat Southern Miss in the regular season I remember this vividly because we had a great year in the Sunbelt I think we might have went like nine and two or something like that yeah no we went nine and four we were undefeated in Sunbelt play because Isaac decided to schedule our first four opponents is Michigan UCLA Alabama Alabama and Notre Dame so we went 0 and 4 throughout that stretch obviously but we actually were close ⁓ the up like 21 to 3 might have been even 27 to 3 something like that and I go all right boys I gotta go so I leave and then you guys can take over from there I don't really know happened. Miss went on to score 24 or 21 unanswered points. Macer got in score again for the whole game and yeah JJ threw a pick at end of game. We lost to Southern Miss, a team that we beat by 40 the year, like a couple weeks before. this game and we ended up losing the Asam Belt Championship which cost us a trophy, which cost us a playoff spot. We ended up playing in some bowl game I've never even heard of. Against Western. Against Western. That was the Ventures 68 bowl. Ventures 68 bowl. we had, who was it? Logan Thomas had like 11 sacks by himself. Yep. Jamari Logan. Jamari Logan. Yeah, dude. That was such a heartbreaking game because. we had everything ahead of us and we just pissed down our leg so so since then we've had such a grudge against southern miss that we've decided to schedule them early in the season every year since the year after we lost to them we moved to the mac and then i think we spent two years there yeah and then we this is our second year in the big 10 so that would be five years but we've played southern miss ⁓ on it we put southern miss on our schedule every single time since then so i we hate them i don't yeah we championship football and ⁓ now we don't have a sundale championship because of them yes i was just fine it's fun to have a little rival like this what do we call this the cold blooded brawl or ⁓ something like that what did we say the cold blooded ⁓ i forgot what we called it ⁓ my gosh it was definitely cold blooded what's it you put you did on chat gbt the other day yeah but i can't check it right now ⁓ it's right something like that the cold blooded war or something. That was to that was this call or the rainforest war the rainforest. That was a good one. But yeah I mean it's just a fun little rivalry we have and it's a free win for us basically just because we are a lot more talented but you never know they are so they're way more talented than we were. We played Southern Miss one year and it was JJ sophomore year. and we were down like 24 to 10. Oh, was it? Oh, yeah. we went on to win that game because we scored 17 unanswered points. But that was crazy. That game had us holding our breath. And I mean, this game is obviously not. to my god right now but you're killing them they are still competing at with the ⁓ which is it's so shocking to me that they can still do this i mean our secondary we knew coming into the season our secondary was going to be a little turn that burr especially with our best our safety dequarius and then prime time which is sap who is our best corner by the way ⁓ other than that are off as a line of defense a liner linebackers and are you receive him how did i get blocked who you got terrible angles everything else but our corners and say that i a lot right that name we also we also we also also also we also we my god, it's one score. ⁓ let's go. That's pretty big. That's prime time. All right. Let's all let's all pick like our favorite game in Mesa gone history. Probably that Notre Dame game that we were down to play off game that was huge besides the playoff game. ⁓ regular season game. I gotta think on this one for a little bit because we had some really good ones. And we've also had some really bad ones. ⁓ Really bad ones like the Eastern Michigan one where we had a whole area. My God. But they completed a Hail Mary to win the game. When you think about it, they have state game. We have a state game last year. We probably have less than 10 losses total. But man, all of them hurt like hell. ⁓ my God. They're all bad. So bad. Yep. Georgia in the playoffs is a heartbreaker for us. But that energy that we were feeling like the beginning of that game, I was like, let's go. ⁓ take a shot. Has a God. ⁓ let's go. Keep going. captain let's go that's that's speed ladies and gentlemen I seriously gonna start McDermott next game I think yeah I think that's the answer he's playing so much better let's go to kind of a quarterback battle a little bit I love seeing a shot like that I told you we should have stayed with McDermott over this offseason we didn't even know what we needed a quarterback I mean actually this season they've been playing like complimenting each other is ⁓ Kinsey is a better runner than McDermott but the Dermott's a better passer so dual quarterback system three panel nicely for us to office aligners honestly they are at the our center through our left guard right guard is like our worst position bar tackles bar tackles are going to have a show board big mac shown board and the other guy who is also a ninety something is really good news ninety six million dollars i thought it was uh... we develop them no i think we have a user transfer Yeah, so I did. ⁓ also, I am the transfer guy. So every offseason I sit here for like 30 minutes and. Yeah. Well, yeah, let's say our rules real quick. So, Caleb, go ahead. All right. Well, I I would say. ⁓ the I also yeah the whole team runs through Isaac. I love to embody like the passion and spirit of my Isaac How about you tell us your game day outfit? my game day outfit right now is a long polo of long sleeves a button-down button-down down shirt my bad and I wear some nice shorts probably preferably black ⁓ some shoes at whatever it pick out of the closet that they preferably my white new balances and then ⁓ yeah with the blue tie as well ⁓ my blue tie I can't forget about my school spirit but That's my drip. Rate it on that scale, 1 to 10. 10 being the hottest, coolest thing you've ever seen. 1 being just not it. Oh, it's a 9 and 1.5. You got to put a PNG of Isaac from the menu screen on the Oh, yes. That's the thumbnail. I will. Oh, shit. Yes. Yes. That'd be hysterical. Make sure to screenshot that for I will. uh... jack so my position here is had a strength and conditioning and a city as well as well uh... col co-development with isaac we go and evaluate all your ideas you're also often slide even so i go to you or no here all of you know i don't know about that most mostly development was developed Who's your favorite player that you've ever developed probably my boy that Titus yeah All right, if it's not Titus cronk His trade is training program did yeah, yeah spike spike spike no yeah yeah Moni and spike was the center yeah no he's a tackle yeah I'll say my favorite non kid of ours non like any of anyone we know related I my favorite player honestly has probably been Bibbs. Oh yeah. I recruited him and I knew there was going to be something special about him as a receiver. And he's definitely has been. He stayed with us. And he's solid. I'm going to go with Bibbs as like my favorite non-kid. Yeah. I think it's pretty easy though to pick like a Jamari Logan. I'm going say 11. Oh! Dude, 11 was tough bro. was such a good strong save So pissed that we terrible walked so Vleestra could run. He definitely did. That's the reason why Vleestra is here. He was the Yoda to Vleestra's Luke. Alex what's your role on this team? So my role gets actually the most heat on this coaching staff. I'm the quarterback coach and especially when my kid was the quarterback and he let's just say he did not get a pleasant goodbye from Mesa gone football and yeah I didn't really do a good job last year but I'm also the athletic director at that at one point. So I don't know if that's still a thing. I don't remember but yeah definitely. He helps us get our NIL money. I guess I do do all like the fundraising and I'll stuff but. He approves like the t-shirts the fans were at the game. Yeah sales. Yeah. Yeah, the beer sales are pretty good, too Especially coming from Old Mill Brew Pub. Shout out not shout out not real either But yeah, my main position is quarterbacks and other than that I mean but open it pretty good season so far are coordinators are joe rossi and tony elliot so obviously joe rossi is michigan states ⁓ current defensive coordinator and tony elliot is virginia's current head coach so i think we're set at our coordinator positions obviously working at the best grades are getting better too i think when we hired joe rossi he was a d-minus but now he's i think b plus pretty much out there and then tony elliot i think we signed a c so obviously we're all big in this game thirty four i was sixteen everly grows a kicker is pretty good to he actually went last year i think you want to or he was only a nominee what's a favorite player that i have that's not a kid he said spike those for develop all for development my favorite one that we've ever had prime mclaurin there was a dog the floor was awesome he was a he was a crazy defensive end who's such a good end to have on the other side of es yes twenty five sacks in the season is i don't know Let me think you pick yours though Isaac I said I said 11 ⁓ 11 Dude, I gotta think. I was gonna say that. JoJo Baxter. Oh, JoJo JoJo Baxter. I would, you know, honestly, I'm gonna, it's a current player that we have. I'm gonna say Uncbuck. I just loved when he would take Atlas' carries and he would be pissed. But he's actually, he wasn't good last year, but this year he's actually gone and saved it. It's too bad he hurt last game. I guess Uncbuck is probably one of my favorites. I gotta think. really do like ⁓ coli croc croc prongs a good one i like it too he's but i mean the linebacker number ten that we had zayden walker that was a two-month was the ⁓ what was the end of the one that broke the record that was mclaren yeah that's right call mclaren Or Joseph Jackson Dude he was our best He won DB in a year. Yeah, he did do that No, there's one more carne asada Yeah, he was only a fan favorite for a very short time but damn was a good place Tornado Asada, I that guy. as you can tell we love this program we love this team yeah we have our ups and downs but at the end of the day it's good fun dude we used to do this with basketball as well like yeah okay we'd set up a league like this they're still up aren't they those videos are still up on YouTube yeah yeah yeah Leo games worth of Leo row we all had different kids I had a kid named Paxton Alex's kid was Leo Leo ironically probably my favorite to watch yeah Leo is so like Steph Curry he really did ⁓ that's what he Yeah, it was definitely the mellow because eating Maverick was cool But Gideon's kid would always split minutes with my I get so pissed No That's right. Yeah the that ⁓ So I would just sign, like when our kids were like freshmen or whatever, would just sign them to a four-year deal. Was that touchdown? Wasn't that game a high school? That was high school, Mesa God. So this is college, Mesa God. And we're not very much different. I should set up a college one so the heights don't really have to matter to us. So we can just pick however tall. That would be fun to do another basketball one, I think. It would be. edward there so that's the same edward edward and i think we should change it to their amendment there are no i i like i'd the names really add change in his plans to go to the is seriously changing his are suckin' asses so they know they know they know you cheated they don't mess around always okay so let's ask this question what is your favorite moment of your kids collegiate journey I don't have a lot but when he left yeah which one first time winning back for the year that was cool. Tide is probably as his freshman year when he had like two games back to back where he had a fumble force fumble and return for a touchdown. I know it was so fun to watch it that it just fell off the face of the earth I mean I would have to say JJ's entire sophomore year It was ridiculous how well he played and then junior senior year. He's just awful I'm gonna say I'm gonna say Atlas's game against I don't really have a favorite moment of Atlas. One of his best games that we just watched is against Purdue. Well, I think honestly, Atlas's legacy game was against Notre Dame. Oh, absolutely. was his legacy game. I was going to say, but I didn't watch that. You didn't watch it, but dude, holy shit. He was the only reason why we won that game. he score? Oh, yeah. Oh, he had like 10 receptions for 170 yards and like two touchdowns. Oh, I was going to say probably in that playoff run. Yeah. I'm sure atlases he was she we should have never changed him from wide and all he just wasn't he wasn't built as a running back and just didn't feel right did not feel that I felt like he didn't even have a senior year those private because he left honestly I believe I absolutely just cloned him So we have 44 seconds left in this game. We'll probably shut down the podcast after this. So as you can see, we took our team has history. Our school has pride. We got pride. We got players. We got players that have made history in this. got a Hall of Fame hallway. That's intentional ground. ridiculous. Is this the same quarterback we played the last three years? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was a freshman. Because I remember him playing as a freshman. this guy we gotta get this guy bro he's a senior now thank god we don't gotta get this guy no we don't need them six seconds left it was close but we ended up scoring 20 unanswered so that was pretty nice unless they scored out Dermot yeah for real we gotta start him after this ⁓ yeah there's a hell of a ball good D no it's a ball game sixty four in the backfield to know to start the year love to see it love to see that here's going off to a good start our team is looking good yeah we are looking mighty fine gentlemen man when I play one more there you go guys there's a coach row coach row blue tie you already know he didn't do shit Kafka Kafka yeah you headset which is crazy and no play call sheet I got my headset privileges ripped away after I broke three and I kept you're raping everybody in the press box so now the players just couldn't hear me naturally singing their song. Yeah. Super good. they're up the tradition of this. That our kids left. Yeah. OK. Let's look at the stats. I actually do want to see this. Dermot. Yeah, yeah. passer rating. Geez. really efficient lord nine for ten no picks three interceptions for kids they had twenty one for thirty they would have scored yeah wow i did not feel like he's scored that much through that much but what i didn't think you did either rushing copco pretty good game five nine i don't think that i think he ⁓ did a lot more receiving the ball he did it sure bridge it's playing a girl american jelly bean beers he's our seven foot route artist pressure that's his first touchdown the year a lot of the way it out the way is i'm not with god god there's not a yard's as nuts twenty one is average as a running back and then uh... is still saw player baby got a touchdown moamba this is sixty four can yet is mo bomba of the whole of the legend reception slice legend you know my one point i don't six to three oh one as a bucket baler title yeah i think that's the guy that we moved there you know one matter of the art we have we used here like i was somebody over there we are talking about that guy big back seven foot four hundred He's Schubert's got four pancakes. The Schubert is playing lights out dude. He's six seven. It's only an 82 Yeah, 19 total tackles. Whoa. Are you Ricardo Azuma? Oh my god That's our team. That's our linebacker. He's gonna take all Titus did we ever seen Titus had 19 total tackles? No No, I don't think 19. It was always 15 though. He's hit a 15 but he got that Vlisra 11 Manny key who the hell are you defense damn defense just runs around dude rock rock Seven is a defensive end. Sure sure sure sure that bad guy had one and a half sacks to Bodie no crazy. Oh my god three targets for all Kicking who cares two for two nice Lee I was like Yeah, we don't be was a cool. Ah, we didn't want once I game return though Emmett Smith I forgot he's still on the team not the Emmett Smith that's for the Dallas Cowboys. It kind of looks like he is ⁓ geez.
