• 2:58
  Speaker 1: which will be the major top all week long, certainly
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we have a national championship game to discuss as well.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The Indiana Hoosiers pulled it off over the Miami Hurricanes
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: last night. They are national champs of college football and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: one of the most impossible stories in the history of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: college sports. They are calling it the greatest coaching job
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in any sport, at any level ever. Kurt Signetti in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: two short years leading the Indiana Hoosiers from the worst
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: program in college football Division one history to winning the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: national championship in this highly competitive era that is modern
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: day college football, twenty seven to twenty one. The final
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: score the Hoosiers over the Canes last night terrific game.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: It was a great game.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it was one where if it
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: seemed like if they could continue to roll that they
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: would roll over even a good team like Miami.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Miami's defense is legit.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: They made it far more difficult on the Hoosiers offense
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: than it has been with anybody else they've faced for
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: majority of the season. And and and yet they just
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: found away still dug deep. They they're they're a big team.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: They played tough. They went out there and basically just
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: kind of said, okay, when the going got tough there
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: towards the end, they didn't wither. Neither team really withered
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: down the stretch.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: It just does steam.
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well that rough in the passer call definitely helped,
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: but they had no problem on that final drive.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, the twitch is what helped. I mean,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that was the worst twitch in the history of college football.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: The Indiana offensive lineman's false start.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, the game was over.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he twitches suddenly go from second and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: inches with three chances, and he would have gone for
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it on fourth and one, but you're not gonna go
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: for it on fourth and six.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Yea for fourth and four, and so.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Even though he did a couple of times, so the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: twitch was going to give him the ball back potentially,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and I really thought the way they had moved the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: ball in the second half, they were gonna win that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: football game. I mean they look there was too much
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: time on the clock. Christ of all used as timeouts perfectly.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I think he coached a hell of a game himself,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, and it looked like Miami was gonna
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: march and perhaps pull off the stunner, but then the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: interception to end the game certainly the biggest test that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Indiana has received thus far, and Miami did outplay them
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: significantly in the second half. But Indiana and Signetti, you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: those two fourth down executions, they end up getting just
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: enough points that decision not to take the field goal
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and we need a touchdown, realizing where the momentum was,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: realizing how much his defense was struggling stopping Miami.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: And they did just enough to pull off the Natty.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Well, the idea of I mean Signetti, just if you've
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: watched to many of his games, and I've watched all
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: of Indiana's games play, but I've watched more than a few,
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: and he just does definitely have a knackt for like
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: when you need to like call your time out to
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: get your team some rest or just gather them up,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: and you know, it's the idea of even earlier in
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: the game, when it's like, boy, a field goal here
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: feels like they won. Even if you tack three points
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: on it feels like Miami would have won that situation.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: He's like, all right, let's just go ahead and go
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: for it, trusting in his team, trusting that they're going
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: to do what they have done all year.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: And they did it for the most part.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: They they did a little bit more shooting themselves in
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: the foot, like you're talking about that twitch that almost
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: cost him. When I was with you, it felt like
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: he's one of the better I guess left tackles in
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: the game this year's played unbelievable and that the most
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: inopportune time, he just gets a little anxious and jumps
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: and you're like, oh man, they're not going to get
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: this right, because typically when you see a team that
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: you know they're going to run to try to make
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: you burn your time outs, it's not I mean, most
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: of the time the defense can can bow up and
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: stop you on that one. Sure enough they do. You're like,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: oh my gosh, now you're they're gonna have to go
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: down and score a touchdown. But if they go down
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: to score, I mean that you know that they're going
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: to have enough time Considering in college, every first down
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: the clock stops and the incompletions it stops still like normal,
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: and so it Yeah, it felt to me like, oh man,
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: this is going to be really difficult for them to
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: hold onto this. But sure enough, I mean, Carson Beck
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: made one, you know, underthrow on that last one and
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: they end up taking it. And it was a sigh
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: of relief for anybody that is not a Hurricanes fan. Yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: that's for sure, which is me, which was most of America. Yes, yeah, look,
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: I mean Miami.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything against Miami, and I think they're
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a terrific team. I felt that way the entire time.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But there's no way that I mean, any right thinking
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: person they didn't have money on the line or didn't
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have some sort of rude doing interest in Miami wasn't
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: rooting for that story to come.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Through last night.
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: It was incredible.
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, and if you are a sports fan, that
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: is the exact thing you want to see happen. I mean,
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: how many people did you see posting on social media
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: afterwards like who's playing Signetti in the movie, because that
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: that is a story book kind of season, kind of
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: two seasons. I mean, it was incredible and five Iron
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: and Palmer the Great and I were watching it and
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: on that and I got nervous. I was like, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: think they left too much time on the clock. And
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: then once that, once Beck got the roughing the passer,
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: and then right before the interception, I looked at them
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: both and I was like, after all this, Miami's gonna
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: win it in the last second, aren't they.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: And then he threw the interception on the very next play.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And Palmer the Great looks at me and she goes,
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: what were you saying. I was like, oh, I was
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: just trying to test him. I wanted to make sure
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: that they were ready.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, ready.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It was a great play on the ball and it
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: secured the win for the Indiana Hoosiers twenty seven twenty one.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And to Bucky's point from earlier, I mean, I thought
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Miami did a terrific job, better than anybody else has
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: done this year on bottling up Mendoza, and yet Mendoza
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: still had a great game. It's just that there weren't
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: many open receivers. Also a very interesting tactic by the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: officiating crew.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: They weren't going to.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Call PI all night long, which I'm okay with as
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: long as you're consistent about it. And then you don't
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: call a PI with thirteen seconds to go.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: You know, when you.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Get players used to playing a certain way, then you
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: kind of have to let them play that way.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: But they were letting them play.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So Indiana receivers were having a hard time getting open.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Mendoza didn't make any stupid rash. I gotta squeeze it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: in their decisions. He didn't, you know, he got bottled up.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: That was the most pass pressure he'd received all season long.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: To Signetti's point after the game, and then when it
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: came down to it in the second half, when Miami's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: just marching and they're still giving Indiana all sorts of trouble.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: As you want the best player in the country to do,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a leader in the treat to do when it came
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: down to it, when it was third and seven or
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: fourth and four.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: He came through practically every time.
• 10:07
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And the way that they chewed the clock was very valuable.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I mean it was the best.
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: It was.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: The Heisman Trophy winner, not at his best and yet
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: making championship plays down the stretch, and a head coach
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that all the way to the very end pushed.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: The right button.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: It felt to me every single time, even the decisions
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to go forward on fourth down, those were risky decisions,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and him to call the time out before they were
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: going to go for the field goal and then bring
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: together everybody and say, hey, you know, we got the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: look that we can run, that draw that we implemented,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that quarterback draw implemented into practice this week. If they
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: give us that same look, we can get the first down.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And sure enough, not only they get the first down,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: they got the touchdown. I mean, it was just storybook, storybook, season, storybook,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: just you know, already for the last two seasons overall.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: And then it needed to be a great game, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: it was a great game, and it needed you needed
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to sweat down the stretch to see if the Hoosiers,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the little Hoosiers could pull things off against Mighty Miami,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and the two guys that delivered them to the doorstep
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of the national championship came through and it mattered most.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the coach and the quarterback and that Charlie Becker
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: kid that he was talking about as like a Jordy
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Nelson type guy. And those catches he had, I mean
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: the I mean the first one was behind him and
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: now you'll see that ball. It feels like dropped in
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the NFL, I mean half the time, and yet he
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: made a catch when it mattered the most, because I
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: think if you don't, the beauty of that game was
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: the better team ended up winning in the end, and
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: yet it wasn't because of like fault necessary. It wasn't
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: like Miami didn't show up right. Their defense did exactly
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: what you would have hoped it would have done. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: mean they were all over Fernando Mendoza. They they were
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: making it difficult on him. Yeah, the referees just not
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: calling any defensive paths. Interference is something that is definitely
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: going to affect the team that has maybe the more
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: high flying or potent offense. But it was really those
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: guys up front, the Bane and the Ruben Acidador. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: mean those guys, I mean every single time that they
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: dropped back to pass, the sides of the offensive line
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: were just collapsing on him, and he, for the most part,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: just got rid of it or took the sack. If
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: he had to, and then yeah that finally that one
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: player of the fourth down when they got the look
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: and he just decides. I was hearing him give an
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: interview about how it was if they go man, then
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: he's supposed to throw or zone, he's supposed to throw
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: one of the two. And they came out and it
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: was like half and half, and so he just had
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: to go, well, screw it, I'll die on this field.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: And he went with that that draw anyways, and up
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: kind of running through one tackle and I think it
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: was Fain posted a picture a still shot of him
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: stretching out over the goal line like, well, we know
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: what the statue and in the end is going to
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: look like, yeah, sure it will because he's probably going
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: to be the next first pick overall. As a national
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: champion and the Heisman Trophy winner. He did what his
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: team needed to do, even though it wasn't even close
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: to his best game. It was good enough to win,
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: and that's what that's what you want out of a
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: national championship.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I think, Yeah, and it was.
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: It was a great game, especially for really having no
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: dog in the fight other than just wanting to see
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: the story and the way I wanted the story to end.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: I mean, you were glued all the way till the
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: very end at Fletcher from Miami.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: He had a great game, especially last second half. Yeah,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: and it looked like they had an answer for him
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: in that second half.
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: No, and that made me nervous, like very nervous for Indiana.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: And I just think it's it was interesting what letting
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: having the refs just let them play because they were
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, Mendoza had those three hits where he got
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: just pummeled and there was no call.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think you let them play in that area. Well,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: that's that's what I'm saying. That's what I was gonna say.
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: So you don't call those which should have been called,
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: but then you call the roughing the passer at the
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: end of the game on the drive to keep it alive.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I mean, those should be called all the time.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: You can't just pick and choose those one. I think
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: they just missed those.
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: I don't think that that was not let them play championship,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: just bleeding. I think that just bad officiated.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I think they just missed those and Signetti called them
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: out And we'll talk to Gene about that coming up
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: today at eight o'clock. I got a lot of things
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to discuss with Gene Stare Tour today, CBS rules analysts,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: who joins us every Tuesday at eight o'clock. But I'll
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: say this, I mean, I mean, I realized there are
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of problems with college football and we're in
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: this awkward, you know, adolescence phase. You know, the sports
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: got pimples on its face and greasy hair and doesn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: know what to do with it's you know, it's junk.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: You know, they're in that kind of phase right now.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: But the product I mean that was that was an
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: intense National Championship game. And this system that we have
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in place finally a tournament obviously got the right two teams.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: This wasn't just ushering Indiana to the National Championship Game
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to face Georgia, because that's what the voters thought was
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the best process. That's what the voters thought were the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: two best teams that would give us the best show.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And here's Georgia that couldn't even get past their first
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: game in the tournament, for goodness sake. And so Miami
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: earned their way there and then proved that they if
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: they would have won that would have been. I don't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: think anybody box at them being crowned national champions with
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a fourteen and two record, considering the teams that they
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: beat on their way to winning it. The tournament it's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: still a little long, and it's still got I mean,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: we probably shouldn't be playing the National championship game on
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: January nineteen. There's still a couple of issues with how
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: exactly to do the format, even though we're in the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: infancy of it, and yet the tournament is the best
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: postseason format we've had by a million miles in the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: history of the sport. I realize NIL causes a lot
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of turmoil and hand ringing and everything else, but the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: product that we've gotten the last two three years in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: college football.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Is the best I've ever seen.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So I think college football is actually on a great
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: path despite all the complaints that we have, and as
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: soon as we do iron out some of these wrinkles,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: some of them unforeseen when we journeyed into this wilderness
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that is NIL and all the different changes that we
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: were going to have, my goodness, I mean, get rid
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of some of those obvious problems that the sport has,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: including its calendar and the product that we're getting and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the free agency sort of energy that Nil has given us,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and everything else. I mean, man, I just was thoroughly
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: entertained from the beigin ending of the season to the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: end of the season.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: By this sport. Once again this year and maybe more
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: so at any time in my life.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: Well, the tournament most certainly is more entertaining. I mean,
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: just with the expanded aspect of it. You get to
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: watch teams if you weren't, you know, if it's not
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: your job to cover sports. You know, I don't know
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: how much time some people will sit and log on
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: as much time as possible to watch teams around the country,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: not just those that they follow or cheer for the
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: most and that conference that they're in, but everything. Well,
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: the expanded tournament, while there is definitely, like you said,
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: things that have to be ironed out, They have to
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: figure some things out all across the.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Board when it comes to college football because of.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: The untethered part of it, that just kind of feels
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: like it's not going to work forever, so get your
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: arms wrapped around it. But the actual tournament itself, yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: I don't think there's a way. I don't think there's
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: anybody that's ever watched college football, they could think this
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: isn't the most entertaining version of college football postseason that
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: we've ever, you know, ever witnessed. To compare this to
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: the idea of just somebody just voting on at the
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: end of the year, that's your champ versus getting to
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: watch Indiana go through the run that they did through
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: the regular season, and the story was already written of
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: the turnaround from the worst program to the number one program,
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: and then to run through the playoffs after beating Ohio
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: State and in their conference championship game, to run through
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: the playoffs the way that they did, the way that
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: Miami didn't know if they were going to get in,
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: and then they beat some teams that nobody thought they
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: were going to beat to get to it, and it
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: was the two best teams, but I think it was
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: most certainly the best team versus the second best team,
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: and the best team ended up winning it. I can't
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: wait for him to continue to kind of trim the
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: fat or get rid of some of the stuff that
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: I think makes it a little bit ugly for some
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: and maybe even majority of the college football teams out there.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: But as of right Now I'm not going to sit
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: and focus on just the things that aren't perfect about
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: the sport when we just got to witness what felt
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: like a fairly perfect postseason and the way in which
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: that storybook.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Ending was ended for Indiana's great All right, let's find
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: out what's on tap for today? Show, what's on tech,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: what's on TEP. I'll say first sixteen and O team
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: ever in college football history. I know that they point
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: out Yale and like eighteen ninety four. I mean, I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: not even sure they played with a football. I think
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: they played with a raccoon, you know, under their arms
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: all the way back in eighteen ninety four. I think
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: it was like seven on five and they played with
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a raccoon, and I think the field was fourteen yards long.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: So I don't a different game. Yeah, I think it
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: was a different game back then.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: So today to go sixteen and oh, I'm just gonna say,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: nobody's ever done that, Nobody's ever had a season like that,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and certainly no fan base ever has had an experience
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: like Indiana Usier fans have had the last couple of years.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: We're gonna chat with one at the bottom of the hour.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: The legendary Mike Gas too will be joining us the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: gas Man. We're gonna find out what he went through
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: a emotionally last night, his take on Indiana becoming a
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: national power when he's spent his entire life as a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Hoosier fan wondering if they'd ever win. So Gas will
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: join us here, what might us also asking us some
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Seahawks football too. Coming up at six thirty, the countdown

  Speaker 1: nine o'clock, we'll certainly talk about Kurt Signetti's place in history.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: If I'm the Buffalo Bills, I'm calling Kurt Signetti this
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: morning see if he wants to be the head coach,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: even though he's denied that he has any interest in
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the National Football League Seahawks rams of course NFC Conference
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Championship game this Sunday. Greg Bell will join us at
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: seven oh five to give us the latest, including on
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Zach Charbonay's knee. We know that he's out for the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: postseason he tore his acl but certainly some questions to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: ask about the running game Zach Charbonay going forward, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: much more with Greg at seven o five. Sunday's doubleheader
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: will be the Patriots at the Broncos, followed by the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Rams at the Seahawks. Jarrett Stidham will be starting for
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos at quarterback. Meanwhile, the Titans and Dolphins
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: both hired their head coaches last night. The Titans ended
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: up with Robert Sollop from San Francisco, so he's going
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to get a second shot at being the head coach
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: head coach in the National Football League. The Dolphins ended
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: up signing Jeff Hafley, who was the Green Bay Packers
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. So we'll have a Shark coachery board for
• 21:35

  Speaker 1: in the NBA was Lebron James not being named a
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: starter and the All Star Game for the first time
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: in twenty two years unbelievable run, but certainly did not
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: deserve to be an All Star this season. College basketball,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you dubbed Nebraska tomorrow at six o'clock on nine point fifty,
• 22:15

  Speaker 4: To stab back.
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: Beck looks, throws it down the field and it is
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: intersupped by Indiana.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: WHOA what a play?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: And it is Jamori Shirk who comes up with the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: pick and he runs into.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: The end zone.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: They're gonna call penally. Hey, good morning, It's Chuck, Buck
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: and Ashley with you here.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Highlight of last night's National Championship game, straight from the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: date of Indiana, the great Hoosiers State Indiana Radio and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: their legendary broadcaster. As we start here on this Tuesday morning,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I just got to say before we bring our next
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: guest on if he ever questioned how valued he was
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: by the Seattle sports fan watching Twitter last night and
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: person after person pointing out that they were thinking of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Mike Gastineau and rooting for Mike Gastoneau and congratulating the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: gas Man on his Indiana Hoosiers winning the national championship
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: game he now knows.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I think that Seattle.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: The only thing that Seattle would have been happier for
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: is if the Huskies won the National championship, then they
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: were for Mike Gastineau's Indiana Hoosiers winning the national title.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And joining us live from Miami this morning is Mike Gastoneau.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Good morning, sir, Well, good.
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: Morning, and thanks for those nice words. One of the
• 24:00
  Speaker 11: nicest things about this was the number of people that
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: reached out. And I think it's because I'm humbled that
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: there's that many people that thought of me. But I
• 24:09
  Speaker 11: think this story resonated with everybody because we've all got
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: a team or a couple of teams that we've stuck
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: with through thin and thin. You know, it's easy to
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: be a fan of a team when it's winning, but
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: it's hard to maintain that when they're losing year after
• 24:25
  Speaker 11: year in creative and insane ways. And to have that
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: under your belt and then something like this happened, you go, well,
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: you know, I mean I was thinking last night and
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: here like late in the game. I started thinking last
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: time about the Gator Bowl in twenty nineteen when we
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: blew a two touchdown lead in the last four minutes.
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: You know, that's our history over the years, Even when
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: we're in big game, something catastrophic happens, and it was
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: it was really cool to be here and to be
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: with my brothers and to and my wife or nay,
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: and to watch it all happen. It was great.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, let's start there. Then, what was the scene
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: like for you? I mean you described it a little bit,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: but to actually make the effort to get there, to
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: be there in person, I mean they shut off the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: cameras obviously after the postgame stage celebration, But what was
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: it like to be there in person and what was
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: your night like?
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: The night well, to me in person was incredible, you know,
• 25:22
  Speaker 11: just to watch it and to have this. You know
• 25:24
  Speaker 11: what this story did for me is it returned my
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: wonderment about sports. Where we're kids, we don't have cynesis
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: and yet and then you get a little older and
• 25:33
  Speaker 11: if you get into the business that we all chose
• 25:35
  Speaker 11: to get into, you you see how the sausage is
• 25:37
  Speaker 11: made a little bit kind of get a little cynical
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: about everything this story. For me, I just didn't have that.
• 25:42
  Speaker 11: And I'll say the vast majority in the end offense
• 25:46
  Speaker 11: of that way. We have been for the last two years,
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: in particularly for the last six weeks, every morning has
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: been like Christmas morning. And we're an eight year old kid,
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: you know, we just can't believe how happy we are.
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: I can't believe this is happening. And another part of
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: the story that to me is very is very sweet,
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: is you know, I've been a fan, but I've lived
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: all over and I wasn't going to you know, I'd
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: try to get back for a game every couple of
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: years at least. I was pretty good about that. My
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: brother Mark graduated from Indianna in nineteen seventy three and
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: joined the alumni organization, the Varsity Club. He has given
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: them money and bought football tickets every year since then,
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: which is how we're able to get text all these
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: games because he's got a standing within. But he and
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: he not only had football sea he has basketball season
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: tickets too, which is a little leasier. He not only
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: had football season tickets, he went to the games. It's
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: not you can sell them anyway. What he was buying
• 26:38
  Speaker 11: Indiana tickets for association. Oh he was. He was the one,
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: you know, and he was there and if there were
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: seven home games a year, he'd get to five of
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: a minimum. And again, just hung in there and loved them.
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: And so that that part of it's me. The night.
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: It was incredibly long yesterday because the trophy getner in
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: chief wanted to go to the games. So for the
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: first time ever, I had to go through secret Service
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: to get to a football game. And that just add
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: And they were very I gotta say they were very efficient,
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: but they basically told you, you know, the game starts
• 27:10
  Speaker 11: at seven thirty. If you're not here by three thirty,
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: you know you're gonna have trouble get in. So so
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: you know, we left the hotel at two and we
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: got back to the hotel at one am. So an
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: eleven hour day to see a three and a half
• 27:21
  Speaker 11: hour football game for the logistics involved. So it but
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: it was, you.
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: Know what, it was great.
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: It never felt like it was dragging. It it's just
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: just you know, you guys.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Saw the game.
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: I mean, on the one hand, I loved the Rose
• 27:35
  Speaker 11: Bowl because with ten minutes to go in the second quarter,
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: I'm like, this game is over, we can relax. This
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: one was harder to love, but in the rearview mirror,
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: it looks beautiful to them to found a way to
• 27:46
  Speaker 11: get that win.
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, I mean getting to watch a team that you
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: rooted for and your your alumni of I mean getting
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: to watch them for this whole storybook season is something
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: that's pretty amazing. I mean, even as an outsider, not
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: a who's your fan, I think a lot of people
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: just jumped onto the bandwagon like this is pretty impressive.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: But and all of a sudden felt after that false start,
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: it felt like, oh no, could this storybook end? Because
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: of one of the best players on their team the
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: left tackle flinches just a little bit early and gives
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Miami a chance. Did you get puckered up there? Were
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: you thinking it was going to happen? Or did you
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: just believe simply based on the storybook that you've been watching.
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: I believe, But look, I'm gonna tell you, ninety percent
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: of the peoples, not Eve said, the people who are
• 28:31
  Speaker 11: my age certainly at that game, we're like, oh, man,
• 28:35
  Speaker 11: I've seen this book, but I've seen this movie before.
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: Oh you know, so I kind of threw it. I'll
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: tell you bucket was when they when they beat the
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: Ducks the first time. I knew they were gonna be
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: good this year, you know, and what they did last
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: year was remarkable, eleven wins, go to the playoffs, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: I knew they would be good this year. I wouldn't
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: expect you to plight be district. When they beat Oregon
• 28:55
  Speaker 11: at Oregon and last ten minutes of that game is
• 28:59
  Speaker 11: not really in doubt. Up by ten, they survived to
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: pick six in the fourth sport. I walked toward that
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: game thinking, you know what they're they're good enough to
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: really do some pretty special things. Because we all know
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: if you go into autsin you beat the Ducks and
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: beat him pretty convincingly, you're a pretty good team. That's
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: not that's not a crummy team that goes in and
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: does that. And by then I just started thinking, there's
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: there's a chance, and you know, you need a little
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: you need a little kids met along the way, and
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: certainly the Penn State game provided that. Although they might
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: have they were I think they would have still made
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: the playoffs with one loss, but you know, you know,
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: so that's how the route changes. But I I was
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: nervous at the end last night, but I just kept thinking,
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: you know this, this I just I believe in the coach.
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: I'm like, look, I'm not going to doubt him now,
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: not after everything he's done. So you know, it was
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: it was something.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: The great joining us here this morning talking about the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Indiana Hoosiers winning the national championship last night. Lifelong fan,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: his brother's lifelong fans, and he was there in my
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Miami to see it all go down. I do want
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to ask you about Signetti that. I mean, the first
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: time I was exposed to him, He's at a basketball
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: game in Indiana, and I thought he was like saying
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: some sort of you know, Carnival yard marker down there,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: who let this crazy guy out on the court, and
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: what kind of promises is he making? And then in
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the next two years some believe he just gave us
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the greatest coaching job and the history of sports, regardless
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: of level.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on that?
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: I agree? I mean, I don't see how you can
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: dispute that the guy. And then again, it would be
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: one thing he could say, fluky if this is the
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: first time he'd done this. This is exactly what he
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: did at James Madison. The difference being James Madison had
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: some success along the way before he got there. He
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: did this at Elon, he turned around hem that did
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: not have success. He had two really good years. And
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: he did it, of all places, Indiana University, Pennsylvania, which
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: is not affiliated with where he coaches now but just
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: has the same name. You know, they were on a
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: little bit of a hard time and so he had
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: the track record to being able to do it. But
• 31:03
  Speaker 11: back to the original point again, I'll speak for a
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: lot of people.
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: YEA.
• 31:08
  Speaker 11: That night, when he comes out of a basketball game,
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: and it's a short speech, he says, I've never taken
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: a back seat to anyone in my life, and I
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: don't plan on starting now. And everybody cheers, and he
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: goes produce sucks and everybody goes nuts because you call
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: out your rival. That's a smart thing to do. And
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: then he said, but so does Michigan, and so its
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: Ohio State. And I'm gonna I'll tell you. I think
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: a lot of people wonder, man, you got enough funds
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: in your account to.
• 31:31
  Speaker 12: Cover a check like that, you know? And I mean
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: I really I was kind of like, I don't know, man,
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: this guy. I mean, I liked that he was leading
• 31:40
  Speaker 12: with his chin. We've never anybody who really believed in
• 31:42
  Speaker 12: the program before.
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: That scent, but it just seemed disingenuous, Like, man, those
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: guys have you know, We've we've beaten Ohio State finally
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: this year, we got him three times. Three times in
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: my life, I've been on a good green Earth for
• 31:55
  Speaker 11: sixty five and a half years. We've beat them three times.
• 31:58
  Speaker 11: You know. Think about that, and for him to say
• 32:01
  Speaker 11: I sucking, I'm like, oh boy, oh boy, man, I
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: hope you know what you're doing.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: It turned out that he did. I mean, it was
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: it was perfect.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I'll just ask you this to close this out, and
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: then I'll let you get on to breakfast there in Miami.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: You might need something, so I would just ask.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Like I grew up in Illinois, I know what Chicago
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Cubs fans went through, and I wasn't a Cub fan myself,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: but when they won that championship, I mean, I felt
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: like I was on cloud nine for them, for them,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and yet I think this story might be even better that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: As big a story as that Cubs fan thing was,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, they had they had superstars over the years
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and didn't.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Get it done.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: They had high payrolls over the years and didn't get
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: it done. They had close calls and didn't get it done.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: You the Hoosiers football team has really just it been
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: bad for one hundred years and never came close to this.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: So put that in perspective, I mean, is this like,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: is this even top the cubs one hundred year drought
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: in your opinion?
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: And the reason I'd say yes is that, you know,
• 33:14
  Speaker 11: the Cubs had a remarkably fun year in nineteen eighty four.
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: They you know, they got to the playoffs on not
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: a regular basis, but they were there on several times.
• 33:24
  Speaker 11: They had gotten to the World Series. I didn't know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: they never got a seriously a the Series, and they wanted,
• 33:30
  Speaker 11: but they had had a little bit of success. You know, Indiana,
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: until seven weeks ago, had lost more college football games
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: than any team in history. Seven weeks ago, we finally
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: flew past Northwestern. Hey we're not we're not lasting anymore.
• 33:45
  Speaker 11: We're second to last.
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: Right, you know.
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: And it's just the amount of failure and the lack
• 33:51
  Speaker 11: of success, and to the point where it was comical
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: where you really almost had to You're not necessarily laugh
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: at them, but you had to kind of laugh at
• 33:58
  Speaker 11: the whole situation because you giving yourself crazy that, you know,
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: three winning seasons in twenty nine years, they had won
• 34:06
  Speaker 11: a total of three bowl games all time, and now
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: in the last month they've won the Big Ten Championship,
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: the Rose, the Peach, and now this one. So yeah,
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: it's it's what it is. Is to me, the baseball
• 34:18
  Speaker 11: story that it compares to a little bit is the
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: ninety five Marriners, because you have to add in the
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: other thing you have. The factoring with this story is
• 34:25
  Speaker 11: it came from out of the blue. You know again
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: those of us, you know the guy you guys can
• 34:31
  Speaker 11: see stuff coming. Usually you're always right, but you're like, hey,
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: here watch it. This was you know again people walked
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: out of a basketball game. Man, I until I like him,
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: but boy, oh boy, he's in for a run awakening
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: when we played Ohios date in Michigan and instead he
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: knew what he was doing. Yea, And they're twenty seven
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: and two, I think over the last two years. Yeah,
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: twenty seven and two. It's it's the coolest thing I've
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: ever seen.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: When are you and Gros going to talk about it?
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: Gras and eye on the the award winning. You know,
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: Take five with Grouser Gas has been downloaded than any more.
• 35:04
  Speaker 11: Pod has been downloaded more times than any podcast in
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: the history of the world. Now I'm not sure if
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: that's true, but I was told that, and so we'll

• 35:33
  Speaker 11: of that magazine. It's still come up. It'll be out

• 35:38
  Speaker 11: And I've got I think half a dozen features in that,
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: so if you're an Indiana fan, you'll be able to
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: I'll post them in fall online. I don't think it'll
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: be in retail stores in Seattle. It might be, but
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: it will be available online and and and you can
• 35:52

  Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty one. Good morning, Welcome in our
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: number two here on this Tuesday, chucking Buck in the mornings.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: My name is Chuck Powell.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Bucky Jacobson, former Mariner, is to my left, and I'm
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: staring at Ashley Ryan see here right in front of me.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Hi, there she is, Yeah, she is here as well.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: We've got our normal Tuesday lineup, which is award winning
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: coming your way, and that includes Greg Bell, our Seahawks
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: insider here in a little over two minutes. But first
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: let's rip through your frost brewed corps light choose chill headlines.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: We start, of course with Indiana winning that national championship
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: behind Kurt Signetti, as it's their first enfranchise history or
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: franchise history, in the school history, I should say, and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: they will start defense without either Mendoza. We've heard today
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: that Alberto, Fernando's little brother is not going to play
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: at Indiana.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: They went into the.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Transfer portal got a new quarterback, and so he's like, well,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be a backup, so he's decided
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: to leave. I guess Fernando didn't have a good enough
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: year at Indiana. I can't go to that stay at
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: this program. They run Mendoza's right into the ground. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I guess he was the guy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: He was the backup.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: He would come in when they were blowing somebody out,
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: so I think he was probably thinking it was gonna
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: be his spot, and Signetti had other thoughts apparently.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's like, all right, I'll go somewhere else,
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: somewhere I can play Seahawks rams.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Of course, we are in the midst of the countdown
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: the Sunday, the NFC Conference Championship game. We'll probably spend
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: every second, every breath that we take over the course
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: of the next three days getting you ready for this game.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: But we'll splash a few other things into today's show.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Greg Belbo going to join us in a minute talk
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: about Zach Charboney's injury and many other topics that we
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: didn't get to in our time with him yesterday. Of course,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: double add on Sunday Patriots at Denver to get it started,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the Broncos will not have Bo Nicks. They will start

  Speaker 1: Jared Stidham at quarterback. Meanwhile, Rams at Seahawks three point
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: thirty is the scheduled to kick off right here at Loomenfield.

• 40:00
  Speaker 1: so he's gonna get a second shot. Meanwhile, the Dolphins
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: are gonna give a first shot to Jeff Halfley, the
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator. He is now the new
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: head coach with the Miami Dolphins cracking lost again suddenly,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: just in a horrible slump again. They lost six to

  Speaker 4: you know how this works. You know the routine I do.
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: That's a very team oriented of you to do that.
• 41:38
  Speaker 10: Thanks turn that in.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: You got it all right.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about something that's not funny, Zach Sharbonat's injury.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: I think Mike McDonald kind of gave me some false
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: hope that he might actually be able to play. And
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: not only is he not going to be able to play,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's about as bad news as you can
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: get on that knee. And so what are you hearing
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: about Charbonne's future here.
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: Well, it looks like he has an ACL tear needs
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: surgery out for the season. You're right, is the initial
• 42:09
  Speaker 10: words to us after the game Saturday night, where the
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: initial test lookut, it's not major, but they did imaging
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: and shows a tear and that's going to be the
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: ACL recovery. It's eight to twelve months. And yeah, so
• 42:27
  Speaker 10: that takes him into training camp next year. This is
• 42:31
  Speaker 10: the next to last year of his contract. He is
• 42:33
  Speaker 10: one more year after this on his rookie deal. Said,
• 42:38
  Speaker 10: it's he heartbreaks, Mike McDonald said, and that's the long
• 42:43
  Speaker 10: road ahead for him. And now they have on the
• 42:46
  Speaker 10: practice squad, they don't have another on the active roster.
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: Currently because George Allani's on injured reserve still but behind
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: Kenneth Walker, Fellas Jones is an option. He was promoted
• 42:58
  Speaker 10: from the practice squad to play last weekend's game. And
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: they still have Cam Akers, a former Rams number one
• 43:04
  Speaker 10: running a few years ago. He's also on the practice
• 43:09
  Speaker 10: squad and those are the two options. And he also
• 43:11
  Speaker 10: said yesterday afternoon that the McDonald did that there's a
• 43:16
  Speaker 10: possibility that a lot he comes back from the injured
• 43:19
  Speaker 10: reserve this week. We'll probably know Wednesday more about that.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: It's not Marshawn lunch time, is it.
• 43:26
  Speaker 10: I don't never say never. I mean I still I
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: remember Mary new Year on Christmas Eve a few years ago.
• 43:38
  Speaker 10: I'll never forget that when they signed him up. But no,
• 43:42
  Speaker 10: it doesn't think that's on the horizon.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: Well, the the vellis Jones.
• 43:47
  Speaker 11: How do you say that.
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: Vilas Jones he came in when in the blowout and
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: so is he one that is going to be first
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: in line for this or do you think they're going
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: to go to one of these guys you're talking about.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: It's on the practice squad.
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: Well, Jones is still on the practice squad too. It
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: looks like he's right now, looks like he's moved ahead
• 44:08
  Speaker 10: of cam Akers. He's a fifth year veteran, so he's
• 44:12
  Speaker 10: been around a little bit around the league. But it
• 44:14
  Speaker 10: looks like, yeah, he appears anyway by the fact that
• 44:17
  Speaker 10: he did do mop up duty against the forty nine ers,
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: that Jones would be the next man up for the backup. Okay,
• 44:22
  Speaker 10: but what it does show is Kenneth Walker. And this
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: isn't the way anyone in the Seahawks wanted it to go,
• 44:29
  Speaker 10: but just Kenneth Walker has his lead role by himself now,
• 44:32
  Speaker 10: which is pretty advantageous for him with the whole league
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: watching the biggest games of the year. It's Kenneth Walker. Yeah,
• 44:39
  Speaker 10: by the way, does not have a contract beyond the
• 44:42
  Speaker 10: end of this season.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Every carry and just give him every carry unless I.
• 44:46
  Speaker 14: Think at this point yeah, Well, McDonald talked about yesterday
• 44:50
  Speaker 14: how he thought that was the most decisive that Walker
• 44:52
  Speaker 14: has run all season, and he also said that you
• 44:56
  Speaker 14: know it's benefiting him now that we did govern him
• 45:00
  Speaker 14: for most of the season.
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: We've talked so much about how it was the foot
• 45:04
  Speaker 10: issue in the summer and how they were trying to
• 45:07
  Speaker 10: get him through seventeen games so we could play them
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: all and how he was on board with that because
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: it's an opportunity for him to get a new contracts.
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: This is the first season of any of his four
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: that he played in every one of the seventeen regular
• 45:18
  Speaker 10: season games, So now they don't have the team doesn't
• 45:22
  Speaker 10: have that to knock against him. Suddenly. The question, I mean,
• 45:26
  Speaker 10: no one's thinking about it at the moment because they're
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: trying to go to the super Bowl on Sunday. But
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: suddenly Kenneth Walker to be the twenty twenty sixth running
• 45:34
  Speaker 10: back is you would think yes at this moment. We'll
• 45:38
  Speaker 10: see what they end up doing with that, but yeah,
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: this is Walker's time. It's pretty advantageous for him.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: How is Sam Donald feeling the morning after and how
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: are they going to work with him this week?
• 45:51
  Speaker 10: So far, so good, and that's what McDonald said. He
• 45:55
  Speaker 10: didn't have a setback or get worse because of it.
• 45:58
  Speaker 10: But they are gonna as using the McDonald's where they're
• 46:01
  Speaker 10: going to navigate this. Donald said after the game that
• 46:04
  Speaker 10: he will have to manage this throughout this week as well.
• 46:07
  Speaker 10: I would think that means he's not gonna be full go.
• 46:11
  Speaker 10: They'll be limited in practices, he won't throw his normal
• 46:14
  Speaker 10: throwing regiment. They would just not make any sense for
• 46:17
  Speaker 10: them to have him throw like he normally would Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: So a lot of mental reps for him, I would expect.
• 46:24
  Speaker 10: And on the injury report, by the way the league's
• 46:26
  Speaker 10: rules are, it's probably going to say limited. And if
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: he's limited at all, that means that he has missed
• 46:32
  Speaker 10: some portions of practice that he normally would take. That
• 46:34
  Speaker 10: means Drew Locke would get the number one snaps. You're
• 46:37
  Speaker 10: gonna see a lot of stories and words about Drew
• 46:40
  Speaker 10: lock being the number one quarterback during the week and
• 46:43
  Speaker 10: Sam Donald was limited and Sam Donald hasn't thrown for days.
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: I wouldn't read too much more into that other than
• 46:50
  Speaker 10: he doesn't need to throw until Sunday.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, you got the Rams coming up, and
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: that's the third time you've played them. This is I
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: think the first time that anybody's ever played aid the
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: same opponent three times in a year twice, right, And
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: the only way that happens if you have a tough
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: division and people go deep in the playoffs. When it
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: came to the Niners, you know, as much respect and
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: credit goes to the Seahawks. They outplayed them and they
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: are playing the best football of anybody in the game
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: right now.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: They also were dinged up the Rams.
• 47:19
  Speaker 11: Not so much so.
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: When you see a rematch of two teams that are
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: closer in where they actually are at this point in
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: the season, who you getting an advantage to McVeigh or McDonald.
• 47:32
  Speaker 10: I'm given every advantage and every time I see anything
• 47:34
  Speaker 10: to Mike McDonald right now, I mean he is just
• 47:37
  Speaker 10: a shutdown artist. The other thing that has changed since
• 47:40
  Speaker 10: the Rams came in here and went for four hundred
• 47:42
  Speaker 10: and eighty one yards and thirty seven points on December eighteenth,
• 47:45
  Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford has not been the same quarterback since then.
• 47:49
  Speaker 10: He has thrown for under sixty percent completion rate three
• 47:52
  Speaker 10: of the last four games. He was under fifty percent
• 47:55
  Speaker 10: in Chicago twenty of forty two. He was about fifty
• 48:00
  Speaker 10: sent against Carolina.
• 48:03
  Speaker 11: He's different.
• 48:04
  Speaker 10: He has missed on throws. I don't know if it's
• 48:06
  Speaker 10: the finger that he jammed into a helmet in Carolina
• 48:09
  Speaker 10: that bothered him in a zero degree wind chill and
• 48:11
  Speaker 10: Soldier Field the other night, but there are throws that
• 48:14
  Speaker 10: he normally nails that he is way overthrown. He overthrew
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: one that was about five yards of the guy's head
• 48:21
  Speaker 10: across the middle late in the game, in late regulation.
• 48:26
  Speaker 10: That is different than what the Seahawks faced in Inglewood
• 48:29
  Speaker 10: and in Seattle in November December. So if Magic Staffert
• 48:34
  Speaker 10: continues on the trajector he's on, the Seahawks have a
• 48:37
  Speaker 10: huge advantage. If the quarterback's only complete in fifty percent
• 48:40
  Speaker 10: of his throws, half the time, this is you're gaining
• 48:43
  Speaker 10: zero yards. That is the biggest concern. If I'm from
• 48:47
  Speaker 10: looking at from the RAMS perspective, we'll see and this
• 48:52
  Speaker 10: is we're talking about the MVP. Remember the voting for
• 48:55
  Speaker 10: MVP happens in the regular season. So he had such
• 48:58
  Speaker 10: a great regular season and he's probably gonna win it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 10: But I see a completely different quarterback. And I don't
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: know if it's injury related. I haven't talked yet to
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: my RAMS people that for this week, but that to
• 49:13
  Speaker 10: me is make this the third game much different than
• 49:15
  Speaker 10: the last game.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not to correct you on statistical minutia, but
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: I do think it underscores just the oddity of that
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: last matchup. It was actually five hundred and eighty yards
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: that they gave up. Yeah, Matt Stafford and the Rams
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: five eighty, which I gotta believe. I mean, even though
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: his team's playing the best football in the world right now,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: still eats at Mike McDonald's defensive soul.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, to be dealing with that.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: And Poka Nakua just went completely off against this time.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: So how do you how do you think he's gonna
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: what do you think he's he's thinking about to change
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: it up so that Pooka and Stafford don't light him
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: up again.
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: He's gonna do less. He said after that Rams game
• 49:57
  Speaker 10: that he gave the players too much. He thought that
• 50:01
  Speaker 10: they were mastering everything. It was a short week. Remember
• 50:04
  Speaker 10: there was a Thursday night game after a Sunday game.
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: And he said that week he gave them too much,
• 50:09
  Speaker 10: and they were trying to do too many advanced things defensively.
• 50:13
  Speaker 10: They were trying to move on from the concepts that
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: they already had and add on to show the Rams
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: something they hadn't seen in Englewood the month before. And
• 50:22
  Speaker 10: he said, in retrospect, that was the wrong week to
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: do that, and he confused them. They weren't playing as decisively.
• 50:29
  Speaker 10: They had communication issues the noise in lumen Field that
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: night and trying to relay their changes that he just
• 50:36
  Speaker 10: got too cute, he said in so many words, And
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: so you would think he's going to not do that
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: and rely on what they've been doing so far. And
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: if mcvay's seen it, so what, If Stafford's seen it,
• 50:49
  Speaker 10: so what. They also have an extra day eight days
• 50:55
  Speaker 10: seven between games compared four between games the last time,
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: which will help as well the prepper. So I'm sure
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: he's going to have a few wrinkles for McVeigh that
• 51:02
  Speaker 10: he hasn't seen yet. But yeah, he he blamed himself
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: for a lot of those five hundred eighty one yards.
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: How big of a deal is Cooper Cup going to
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: be in this hopefully final two games that the Seahawks
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: get to play. I mean he I don't think anybody
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: was expecting him to be the MVP caliber guy when
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: he came over the Rams. If he still was, probably
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: aren't getting rid of him. But I mean the fact
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: that he does a lot of little things, he's he
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: understands where he's.
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: Going to be.
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: Do you expect him to be the Hey, if they
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: do try to take away Jackson Smith and jig but
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: we're gonna He's still gonna get his, but we need
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: you to step up.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: I'd have him in the coaching room, you know, putting
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: the game plan together if I were them, Greg.
• 51:40
  Speaker 10: He's doing some of that too. I think he's the
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: glue guy. And I do think that we haven't had
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: and mc donald hasn't done it yet, but there's gonna
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: be a Rasieja heat breakout game. Will would come in
• 51:55
  Speaker 10: the Super Bowl, would come in the NFC title game.
• 51:58
  Speaker 10: But he as far as receiving and pushing the ball
• 52:01
  Speaker 10: down the field, cups the guy when it's third and
• 52:04
  Speaker 10: eight will get nine. That's that's kind of is Tyler
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: Locket in that way, Doug Baldwin before him. That's the
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: role he started to come into. Now he's got limited
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: number of targets and when he gets them, they tend
• 52:20
  Speaker 10: to be for first downs. And he did that again
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: the other night against San Francisco. So yards after the
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: catch guy, that kind of intermediate underneath Smith and Jigba
• 52:31
  Speaker 10: and now underneath Shaheed. I think that's going to continue
• 52:34
  Speaker 10: to be Cooper cups role with the home run hitters
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: still being Jackson, Smith.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: And Jigula and I'll say, I mean, I know the
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: running game's been a lot better lately, and I don't
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: want to take any credit away from the offensive line,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: because God knows, they've been criticized severely for the last
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: decade as a group with the Seahawks, But man, I mean,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: how good are the Sea Hawk receivers at blocking and
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: tight ends as well into that group, including Cooper Cup
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's one of the more underrated
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: aspects of this team.
• 53:10
  Speaker 10: They stressed it so much. They've stressed it from training
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: camp and OTA's and when Kubiak got here, the receivers
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: were telling us that's the difference they are a lot
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: of Even under Pete Carroll, they would talk about receivers
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: blocking and took pride in it, but you weren't going
• 53:26
  Speaker 10: to play unless you blocked. And Jake Bobo is still
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: on the team because of that. They've brought in Horton,
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: they've traded for Shaheed, and Jake Bobo went down to
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: seventeen percent snaps from playing about one third snaps each
• 53:42
  Speaker 10: his first two years. But Jake Bobo's playing largely because
• 53:46
  Speaker 10: of that. And we mentioned the block in Santa Clair
• 53:48
  Speaker 10: in Week eighteen. He took out three guys in the
• 53:50
  Speaker 10: third and seventeen got the nineteen yard game by Walker.
• 53:55
  Speaker 10: Walker will tell you how much better life is when
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: he gets outside beyond the line screen. It's because of
• 54:00
  Speaker 10: the wide receivers blocking, but it's an imperative and Clint
• 54:03
  Speaker 10: Kobe's offense when you run outside zone, which they've run
• 54:06
  Speaker 10: a lot more since the Carolina game. We talked about
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: outside zone all season, but they were Poe Parrie until
• 54:11
  Speaker 10: about Carolina, and now they're going really heavy outside zone,
• 54:14
  Speaker 10: including against the forty nine ers. When you run outside zone,
• 54:18
  Speaker 10: those plays get to where the receivers have to block,
• 54:21
  Speaker 10: and if the receivers don't block, the outside zone play
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: might get four or five yards, but if the receivers block,
• 54:26
  Speaker 10: they're going to get ten or twelve or fifteen and
• 54:29
  Speaker 10: the ten or twelve or fifteen's have it happened a
• 54:31
  Speaker 10: lot more lately because of the outside receivers.
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, I know the bosses took the day
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: off yesterday, but do you have another specialty show because
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: I know a lot of people think that that was
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: the reason that we won this weekend. Yeah, because you
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: did your specialty show on Friday.
• 54:48
  Speaker 10: Actually traveling tonight. Yes, we're going to on Thursday night
• 54:51
  Speaker 10: this time, right because I think I think they crack
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: and play Friday, but yeah, Thursday night, well do the
• 54:57
  Speaker 10: same show from this last week. We had a lot
• 54:59
  Speaker 10: of probab. It was fun, too good. We'll have some
• 55:02
  Speaker 10: Seahawks on the air and all right, yeah, there's I
• 55:05
  Speaker 10: think it's seven to nine agoin on Thursday.
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: All right, Thursday seven and nine. We're gonna write that down.
• 55:09

  Speaker 1: We were just discussing in our previous segment. Man, did
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: they let him play last night? I mean, that's the
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: most pass interference that I've ever seen go uncalled, maybe
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: in any game I've ever watched. And yet I was
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: okay with it because they didn't change the way they
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: were calling it. Geene, they clearly were letting them play
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: last night. Did you think that that was fair or
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: do you think.
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: That was a mistake?
• 59:01
  Speaker 11: You know, I'm with you on the consistency aspect, right,
• 59:05
  Speaker 11: I get that and quite frankly, you know, I always
• 59:08
  Speaker 11: tried to have that feeling with the crew, not in
• 59:11
  Speaker 11: the playoffs different than the regular season, but really tried
• 59:14
  Speaker 11: to get that philosophy of let's make these files big,
• 59:18
  Speaker 11: let players play and make plays, and try to really
• 59:23
  Speaker 11: try to inject that philosophy in your crew as early
• 59:25
  Speaker 11: as you can, and then hope that the crew itself
• 59:29
  Speaker 11: starts to buy into that. It's difficult in an officiating
• 59:33
  Speaker 11: football scenario a lot different from me than basketball. Basketball
• 59:38
  Speaker 11: you could mold games because you were in proximity as
• 59:41
  Speaker 11: one of the three officials that if you felt a
• 59:43
  Speaker 11: play wasn't being ruled consistent to what happened maybe three
• 59:47
  Speaker 11: minutes before, you can have that little later whistling, come
• 59:50
  Speaker 11: from a distance to get a play that you quite
• 59:52
  Speaker 11: humbly felt fit the play that happened two minutes earlier.
• 59:56
  Speaker 11: The football field is too wide, quite frankly, a lot
• 59:59
  Speaker 11: of officials don't even see what kind of ruling was
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 11: made on a play because of the distances. So it
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 11: is more challenging than maybe some of the other sports,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 11: like a baseball umpire staying consistent with his personal strike
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 11: zone for the day. So there are more challenges in
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 11: football to be consistent, but that's where the training and
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 11: the elite level occurs. I did think last night, yes,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 11: they did let them play. However, I did think there
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: has to be a line as well. I thought coach
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 11: Signety at halftime really worded it in a really good way.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 11: I thought there was a target on the hit on
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: Mendoza after the handoffs. That was targeting. That's how has
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 11: to be called right, so now you miss it regardless
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 11: of the physicality here, we can't let those go. So
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 11: and I do think there were more than likely maybe
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 11: one or two of those pis that fell in the
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 11: category of, Look, we are allowing you guys to play
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 11: a man's game tonight, but this is taking it.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 10: We've taken two bits.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 11: Into the apple, like we went too far here and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 11: get that one. So you know, you live in that world,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 11: and hey, it's so much easier guys to sit on
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 11: the couch and do this. It's hard. It's a hard business.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 11: There are different tentacles to plays. There were a couple
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 11: of times when Indiana receivers were putting their hands out
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 11: and kind of initiating not separation, but initiating what we
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 11: would call the beginnings of what hand fighting would be.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 11: So, now I've got a receiver that voluntarily put his
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 11: hands on a defensive back's chest, and now that defensive
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 11: back is trying to fight and pull that arm off
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 11: of his chest. And now we look at the isolated
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 11: play and go, dude, he's grabbing his arm and pulled
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 11: out of time. I know, but how did his arm
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 11: get there? Oh well, two frames before the receiver put
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 11: his arm in his chest. Okay, well then I want
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 11: to let him grab his arm and get it off
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 11: of his chest. It just so happened. The bault might
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 11: have been getting there. So there are so many layers
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 11: to that. And then when you watch these plays, I
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 11: can tell you from an analyst viewpoint, and I hear
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 11: the vitriol especially after. Now you know Steratory agrees with
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 11: an eighty five ninety percent of time. That's because, quite frankly,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 11: I think they're probably right eighty five or ninety percent
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 11: of the time, whether you like that or not as
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 11: your own personal opinion. But there are also layers to play.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 11: But you guys hit it in the earlier block. It's
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 11: it's a consistency thing within a parameter where we don't
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 11: want to see it go too far right, and that's
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 11: that's that window. And it's hard, it's really hard. This
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 11: is not an easy business. And we know that scrutiny
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 11: and social media has allowed everyone to be the voice
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 11: of reason and you know such just educational like tweeting.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 11: You know, it's it becomes such a hate field space. Yeah,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 11: we all have this ability to do this from the
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 11: comfort of our homes and it's part of the business.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 11: You embrace it.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: Are you saying that my life wasn't as stressful sitting
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: there with my beer, am I nachos on my comfy
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: chair as it was for officials this weekend? Is that
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: what you're suggest check.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 11: Yeah. Yeah, but yet you'll have these millions of human
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 11: beings that consider on their couch and go, dude, that's easy.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 11: That's a foul. I know. Come on, Let's go work
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 11: the seventh grade basketball game this afternoon at three o'clock
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 11: and then we'll sit after the game and we can
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 11: talk about how.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: Easy it was, you know.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 11: But again, it's part of the business. You live with it.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: I know, Bucky, we want to got to get to
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: the Broncos game.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: But you had said something and I think it does
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: need to be brought up here about that roughing where
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: the call that where he got hitting a chin and
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: they didn't call it.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: Isn't it in college football though?
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: That if you have a play like that, not only
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: even if you missed it, you can stop it and
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: review targeting.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: Can't you review targeting in college football? Or am I
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: just way off base on this?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 11: No? You're a hundred percent right, which was protecting to me?
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 11: Okay for that reason, Yes, there also is a window
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 11: and RG three created this window in the NFL level
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 11: when the RPO started to become the flavor of the year, right,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 11: and it's grown, and we did have some challenges to
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 11: adapt to that style, kind of like the old Belly series.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 11: Playfake and then I pulled the ball out and have
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 11: it or I may not have it right, and the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 11: decision is being made not on a design play but
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 11: on the feel from the quarterback exchange or the back.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 11: And now you have a defensive player coming untouched to
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 11: that mesh point and now the quarterback let's go with
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 11: the football and gets completely blasted right after he lets
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 11: go and looking like I don't have the ball. Well,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 11: we did develop mechanically and spoke to teams during that
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 11: and it was Robert Griffith that really kind of dictated
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 11: that conversation in the preseason that year after we saw
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: it her that after that mesh point, if you let
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 11: the ball go in your quarterback, you better step away
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 11: and let that defensive player know as quickly as you
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 11: can that you don't have it. But if he's already
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 11: committed to you when you went through the mesh point,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 11: your fair game. Now, last night's play, there was a
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 11: window of space there that defensive player, in my opinion,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 11: took the moment, not that he was defenseless either. If
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 11: Mendoza is not defenseless in that play, that play fell
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 11: into a crown of the helmet hit, I thought, so
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 11: it's irrelevant about the mesh point on that play, But
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 11: there's tentacles into that how you define who the player
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 11: that got hit was. Was he defenseless or was he
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 11: part of a running play? We're still fair game. And
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 11: even if Mendoza was fair game last night, after he
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 11: let the ball go and it was a very quick
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 11: hit afterward where the contact occurred with the crown of
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 11: the helmet of the defensive player to Mendoza's body and
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 11: it didn't even have to be in his head neck area.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 11: That's the crown of the helmet targeting, which you're corrected
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 11: saying replaces that on a review replay review, it stopped
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 11: the game. Yeah, bring the ref over. It's targeting. Unfortunately,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 11: it's the National Championship. I get it, but that's that's
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 11: the rule, and you knew it, so you got to go.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 11: So yeah, I think they missed that, all right.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: Gean, Well in the Broncos Bills game that you were working,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 6: I mean we you know, I heard what you had said.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: And yet I think some more clarification. You don't have
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 6: enough time during the broadcast to really clarify why you
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: think or how you come to the point of that.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 6: Brandon Cooks McMillan. The interception that was in overtime, it
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: seems like the right call in my opinion, not just
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 6: because I'm a Bronco fan, but it does seem like
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 6: it's the right call. And yet maybe you can explain
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 6: why they called that an interception.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Bucky, and you're right, I didn't get a lot
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 11: of time and look to be critical in some ways
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 11: in that regard. I think the play in real time
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 11: doesn't look like that heart of a play that back
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 11: judge Scott Elberson has been in that the league's twenty
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 11: five plus years. He didn't hesitate. It was a tight play.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 11: He ruled on it like you would expect the championship
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 11: official to rule on it, and really was confident as hell.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 11: And I thought he got it right. And I think
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 11: in real time, I think, to me, it doesn't look
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 11: that difficult. We now have transferred into this whole world
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 11: of frame by frames of pruder film. I can show
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 11: you a still shot where his knees on the ground,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 11: he has the football. What's going on with you people?
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 11: And this distortion of reality? A frame by frame reviewing,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 11: which I've been on the pulpit about for five years now,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 11: and how subjectivity in a play that requires time to
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 11: make a final assessment could not be slowed down below
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 11: a certain percentage. That should be a percentage that officials
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 11: can digest and be accurate in real time. But reviewing
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 11: should fall in that category as well. I think we
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 11: need to have that discussion. I also think that a
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 11: play of that magnitude for a referee to understand that
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 11: play ends in real time. Right, it's forty five years
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 11: away from the ref the white hat, who doesn't see it.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 11: He hears a whistle, he sees his stampionship back judge
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: go both it's interception. He's running down the field because
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 11: the change of possession's taking place of looking at that
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 11: back judge, because you know that he's given the signal.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 11: Now that back judge shows that referee, Hey, Carl, I've
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 11: got an interception. It's tight, and we know it's a turnover.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 11: And we know it's tight, and we know the world
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 11: we live in. Now the chatter starts in your ear.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 11: It's replay saying slow down, it's a turnover. We're looking
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 11: at it. Just take your time, slow down, slow down,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 11: don't start the next nap. We're looking at it because
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 11: we can. I think production, presentation, credibility, trust, and the
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 11: things that should apply at that point that play in
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 11: that game, on that stage, and what it meant you
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 11: stop that game. If you're the white hat, you press
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 11: your button and you tell New York I get it.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 11: We're looking and I want to look too. Because Carl
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 11: Scheffer's never saw that play. He hasn't seen that play
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 11: and gave a pool report up to the game more
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 11: than likely and never saw the play. He's the referee
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 11: of the game. You're the referee of the game. I
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 11: have skin in this game. I did that in Super
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 11: Bowl fifty two with the zach Ertz touchdown that went over,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 11: and had an extended conversation during that particular play, and
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 11: weighe in, you know, and at some point when the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 11: book comes out, I weighed in, right. I mean, but
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 11: I do think for the rhythm of the game, the
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 11: magnitude of the play, the trust, the things that should happen,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 11: and the fact that you are the referee of this game.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 11: I want you looking at the iPad. I want you
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 11: collaborating with New York. I don't think the play was
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 11: ruled incorrectly whatsoever. I thought the optics of it. I
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 11: thought the fact that we stood there for thirty seconds
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 11: in limbo and then just moved on like it was
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 11: just another quick play. It wasn't to the point that
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 11: Sean McDermott knew they did review it. I get it.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 11: I get the way the rhythm goes. But I'm calling
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 11: one of my time outs here because I want you
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 11: to come and talk to me, referee, right, I mean,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 11: I get it. So I don't think the play was
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 11: produced the right way, if that makes sense, and that's
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 11: my yeah. So I do think there was a misstep there,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 11: and as you said, Bucky, it put me in a
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 11: heck of a box kind of from the analyst's chair,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 11: because now you are getting to see this play maybe twice,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 11: maybe twice, and Tony or Jimmer looking like gino, what
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 11: do they have here? Man? You want to talk about
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 11: like fifteen seconds of some anxiety because you've gotten two
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 11: quick peaks of this and you know what starts to
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 11: come out of your mouth now is living for forever
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 11: and you do want to be right. So it didn't
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 11: It made my position a little more challenging there to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 11: try to get as much info as I could in
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 11: a fifteen second window. But there just wasn't a pond
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 11: to do that right. And so what you would hope
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 11: in this beautiful world of social media we live in,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 11: because you couldn't do it on air for the right reasons,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 11: that maybe at the end of the game, to educate
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 11: all of these amazing fans that love the game and
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 11: really do want to know why it was ruled that way.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 11: Now you put a tweet out, now you know it
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 11: gets seven million views, six million, seven hundred thousand of them.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 11: Are you know, where do you live? What's your address?
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 11: We want to come and visit you, you know, and
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 11: all that good stuff. But it's part of the business.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 11: But I do think they got the play correct. I
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 11: don't think they presented the play in a way that
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 11: we should expect that play to be presented.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you on both those fronts. But
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: I will ask this because this is the way life works.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're already as the NFL, living with that play,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: and you got half the football fans angry at you
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: for how the play was called, and then sure enough
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: to make your lives more difficult as official Sunday Night
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Yeah, he goes down, has it taken away?
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: And I see the difference between the two, and I
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: think they got them both right. But I do understand
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: how it's difficult for people fans out there.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: To see the difference between the two. So explain it
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: to us.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 11: That's what we need to do. That's in that I
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 11: quite frankly will take on as somewhat of a challenge
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 11: here for my role now as it sits. I don't
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 11: know that we've educated the country in this crazy frame
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 11: by frame nuance as to how we're getting these decisions constantly,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 11: because they are twelve second hits, right, and everybody's sick
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 11: of here in possession two feet a third step, we're
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 11: time to make a football move. I get worried about
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 11: being redundant on air, saying that all the time, so
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 11: people were thinking on their couch. Well, he shut up.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 11: We know what the three steps are. Within all of that, though,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 11: we have to show these differences. When Cooks possesses the football,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 11: he's airborne. When Cooks comes back to earth, he's falling.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 11: He is never a runner. He is a falling, airborne
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 11: possessed pass receiver who is falling. He has to show
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 11: the referee the football at the end of the play,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 11: get up and give him the ball. I ruled Calvin
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 11: Johnson's catch. I ruled des Bryant's catch. I ruled zach
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 11: Ertz's touchdown. You got to hand me the football, okay,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 11: like you got to survive the ground. You were landing
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 11: and never ran. So there are parts of that play
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 11: by the rule in the delicate and detailed way. It
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 11: has to be written for these reasons that you have
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 11: to do that, and Cooks's play. He's falling to the ground.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 11: It wasn't ripped out from him after he laid on
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 11: the ground for an extended period of time with possession,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 11: which would have been much shown and been like, no, dude,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 11: you rip the ball out of it after he was
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 11: laying there for three seconds. It's over.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 10: It wasn't.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 11: It didn't happen that way. You didn't survive the ground,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 11: and he did. He stole it from you and survived
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 11: the ground. That's your play. Devonte Adams is possessing that
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 11: football while he's standing. So now he possesses the football
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 11: on two feet on the ground, gets two feet down
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 11: immediately on possession, gets smashed and sandwiched, and now starts
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 11: to get tackled. In that little piece of the third element,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 11: he does start to be tackled to the ground. There
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 11: is subjectivity in was there enough time for the third
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 11: element there? Or was him falling to the ground on
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 11: his knee with possession? Does that count as this whole
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 11: football piece of move that we digest and say no,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 11: that puts him down by contact. Look, I was sitting
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 11: there quietly digested Saturday's game when I finally got home,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 11: and when that play hit my phone exploded almost equally
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 11: as it did the night before because of that. So
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 11: you are looking at them and trying to get some
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 11: clarity and something that will define it so that people
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 11: don't just say, dude, you're just spinning stuff. You're a shill.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 11: That's where I saw the difference, and I think there
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 11: is a difference there. It's close as heck, though, right,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 11: I think the third element's really close. I feel okay
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 11: with the way that Adams possessed the football started to
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 11: get tackled knees down. He's fighting for a piece of
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 11: that within this fraction of the second and you rip
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 11: it out after his knees down. But he caught the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 11: ball on his steet and you're tackling him. Now, okay,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 11: that's a catch and you're down by contact. Right, So
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 11: I say think there are distinct differences. I do think
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 11: it's incumbent upon us to try to elaborate this to
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 11: the two hundred level the three hundred level football fan
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 11: that gets it but needs to digest it. I don't
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 11: make these rules, but you do want to try to
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 11: put them in a box that allows people to look
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 11: and maybe have that cool conversation in a living room
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 11: with a group of people like, oh, run that back again.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 11: Let's talk about that, and then maybe the game becomes acceptable,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 11: or these rules become something that helped the game, or
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 11: the technology does as opposed to what we're seeing now,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 11: which is just you know, a million officials that screened
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 11: at me in all these stadiums now have the platform
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 11: to put it on your phone all the time, you know, on.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: Tuesday at noon. It's just that world.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 11: But yeah, you know, it is what it is.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I would love to add the conversation with you
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: about PI calls late in games, but I don't think
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: that we have time to get into that because that's
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: probably a lengthy discussion, so we'll go ahead and save
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: that for another time.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: But I understand it better. I think that you explained
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: it perfectly. I really do.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: And I think that whoever was listening and was a
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: little you know, tossed up over you know, how that
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: went that way and how that didn't go that way, should,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: I think, have a better understanding of why it.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: Would did go down. So those things that those those
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: two calls, I'm with you. I think that and you
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: explained it very well for everybody out there.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 11: I appreciate that, fellas, we're trying to do the best
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 11: we can. And for the next ten or fifteen voice
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 11: bills that I get chuck off forward a couple two
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 11: you my man, and I'll let you guys answer them.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 11: How's that?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: And as a public service announcement for the good of humanity,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: please not blowing up jeans Twitter with your nonsense.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 11: As my late father used to say, publicity listened. He kid,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 11: if they know your name, just relax. That's how he
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 11: got me into officiating, because I was a ten year
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 11: old going to his college basketball games and crying in
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 11: the corner of the way home like that they hate you.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 11: I can see him looking in the rear view mirror
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 11: at my little face, like, listen, did they know your name?
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 11: I said, yeah, it's the same as yours. He goes,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 11: if they know your name, everything's okay. Why that sounded
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 11: like it was okay when I was said, I don't know,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 11: but look what it's done to me fifty years later.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know, yeah, exactly. I get your dad was
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: already in it. You had a chance to avoid it.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 11: Exactly. Every time he tried to get out, they pulled
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 11: him back in. I didn't realize he was part of
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 11: the Godfather one and two and I just ended up
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 11: with three and four. That was it. But that's his life,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 11: all right.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll talk to you again next week and hopefully
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: a smoother weekend for you, sir.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 11: Yes, well, as it listens, huge shout out to the
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 11: to the twelfth person in Seattle, to that team, to
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 11: the way they performed the last week. I mean, if
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 11: you're not fully blown excited right now for that product
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 11: right now and the way that team is playing, what
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 11: a great time. I'm sure you all are happening in
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 11: the upper the great Northwest right now for the right reasons.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 11: And you know what, it'll be a great NFC West
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 11: showdown the way it should be this season. So good
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 11: luck to everybody out that way, and we'll talk to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 11: you next Tuesday.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be a great game on Sunday. As
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: long as Clay Martin doesn't blow it, he'll be fine.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 11: Don't worry, he'll be fine.
• 1:18:32

• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: how are you doing today? We're doing all right.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, we got a really hot football team that's
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: getting ready for some really big football games here in
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: the next few weeks.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: Are you switched on like the plural Yeah, like the
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: plural yeah, use of plural pluralism, pluralization.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, our hockey team has gone ice
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: cold again, fourth consecutive loss last night.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 4: They've lost six of our last seven. Everett, what on
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: earth has gone wrong this time?
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 11: I think dark politicification again. He had to go get
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 11: some family. You know what, man, It's funny because I
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 11: was talking to Alan Jat about this Lane the other day.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 11: We were talking and he said that with everyone being healthy,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 11: the crack of them only played four games this year,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 11: and they've been the last four games that they've all
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 11: been one hundred percent healthy, that all skaters have been
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 11: one hundred percent healthy. So Land had a comment that
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 11: it's almost kind of like going back to training camp
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 11: a little bit because you're trying to build that chemistry
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 11: and you've heard them of Lane's comments postgame the last
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 11: couple of games where it's been you know, there's there.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 9: There needs to be a tougher mentality and the starts
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 9: haven't been as good. I need guys to start shooting
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: the puck more. These are things that we were talking
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 9: about beginning of the year when the Crack and were
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 9: going on that h that slump before they went on
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 9: that team game point streak. We're seeing a lot of
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 9: those same issues, you know, rearing their ugly heads once again.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 9: So I think that there's just a lot of small
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: areas that the Cracking had been falling victim to.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 11: They have allowed a short handed goal in the last
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 11: three games. There have been some, I mean, if I
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 11: can be honest, egregious turnovers at inopportune times.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, you go back to at least three of
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 9: those games on the road trip, there were some turnovers
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 9: that led directly to go And it's the frustrating part
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 9: of if the Kraken cannot make that one mistake, that
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 9: those two mistakes that end up in the back of
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 9: your net, you're at least getting new overtime. So you're
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 9: seeing that pattern of some frustrating little mistakes, you know,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 9: dictating the results for the Cracking and Recal games.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: Fitzy to me, I mean, when I'm watching, it feels
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 6: like it's a it's a it's a culmination of a
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 6: lot of things. Obviously when you're you know, during this
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 6: four game little skid here, you're averaging almost five goals
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 6: given up, and yet it's not like well decord and grouped.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: They just have to be better.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: No, it's it's the turnovers or the shorthanded goals. But
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, to me, they feel like bigger mistakes. Is
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 6: that would you classify it as you just you can't
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: be turning it over with some of those egregious ones
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: that you're talking about, or giving up goals when you've
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: got a man advantage. Those to me seem like big
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: ones where you might start getting your butt shewed a
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: little bit if you keep doing that type of thing.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: Or is it a lot of little things like you
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: were just saying, you know.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 9: What, Bucky column A column B. I mean, I'll go
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 9: I'll go back to the short handed goals that have
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 9: been scored. I mean two of the three were off
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 9: of just stick plays that that shouldn't have been made.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 9: You know, you're trying to break the puck out of
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 9: the zone. You can't hold the blue line in your
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 9: own end, and the puck bounces over your stick, and
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 9: you know, you know these teams are active. LeAnn Lambert
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 9: said the other day, he goes, we knew what they
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 9: were what they wanted to try and do on their PK.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 9: We watched it on film. We saw what they were
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 9: trying to do, and then they went and scored on
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 9: the Orana goal anyway, So you know, it's it's a
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 9: bit of the preparation, but it's also maybe a mental lapse.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 9: It's a couple of those of those mental lapses. Again,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 9: those are his words. We knew what they were going
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 9: to do and they still found a way to get
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 9: it done. So I think it's the little mistakes, the turnovers.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 9: But I do think it's the big mistakes.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 10: It's the.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 9: Not keeping pucks in the zone and when they're on
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 9: your power play, it's the you know, the slower breakouts.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 9: It's not getting to the puck quick enough and having
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 9: to rush to make the split second decision which ultimately
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 9: gets your stick lifted and into in the back of
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 9: your net. So, you know, again, I can't point to
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 9: any one factor as to why this is. If anything,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 9: this team should be, you know, playing a lot better
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 9: than they are because they have everyone back and because
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 9: they have everyone healthy. But you know, Ley Lambert, the
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 9: last two games, has mixed up the lines in the
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 9: third period. We saw him jumble the lines against Utah
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 9: in the third.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 11: Period last night. I guess yesterday afternoon in the third period,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 11: James Schwartz got dropped down of the fourth f line yesterday.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 11: So you're trying to find these combinations that work again,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 11: because for the first time in forty five games, which
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: is insane to think about, you're finally back to healthy.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: It's everfits you the great, Ever fits you a voice
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: of your Seattle cracking right here on the flagship sports
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJARFM.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: He'll be back on the call tomorrow night in some capacity.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: More on that in a moment.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: But I got to ask about the goaltending. I mean,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: I realized that some things are out of goalies hands,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: and yet I mean a year ago it just felt
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: like Grubauer couldn't save a shot and Joey to Cord
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: had taken over the starting goaltending job.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: And now one year.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: Later, you win more often with Grubauer and goal and
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: Decord is thirty second and the National Hockey League in
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: save percentage.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 4: I think I don't think there are thirty two teams
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: in the NHL.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: Or are there thirty two teams in the NDAA. Yeah,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: so thirty two exactly in the NHL. And so you know,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: twelve twelve and five record. I mean, what is behind
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: this reversal of Decord and Grubauer this year?
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 9: You know, that's a that's an interesting question.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 11: I think for Grubauer the last two.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 9: Years, He'll tell you, and no one's harder. No one
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 9: expects more out of Philip Grubauer than Philip Grubauer.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 11: And he it wasn't the years that he wanted. He
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 11: gets sent down to Coachella Valley last year. A lot
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 11: of people may say that's rock bottom, but I think
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 11: for him it was an opportunity just to go and
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 11: play hockey again. I also didn't view it as a
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 11: bad thing.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 9: And he goes down there, he does some great work,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 9: excuse me with Collins Julianello, who Laine Lambert will heap
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 9: all the praise onto for helping them manage this three
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 9: goalie system once Matt Murray against back. So I think
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 9: Grubauer had a lot to prove this year factor, and
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 9: that's also an Olympic year for him. He's team Germany's
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 9: starting goaltender, so I mean, that's always going to give
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 9: you a little bit of extra burr in your saddle
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 9: to go out there and want to prove things. So
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 9: you're watching Grubauer this year, getting back to the goaltender
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 9: that you know we remember from from years one and
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 9: two has been nice. But as far as Joey the
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 9: Cord goes, you know, I don't think there's anything inherently
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 9: wrong or systematically wrong or bad with how he's been playing.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 9: I do think that last year, when you're the number
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 9: one goalie and you're playing upwards of fifty five games,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 9: that's a lot. That's a lot.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 11: And again, very much like Philip Rubauer, Joey the Cord
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 11: puts a lot of pressure on himself and he expects
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 11: a lot from him.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 9: Lane will tell you that no matter who's in goal,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 9: they've been our best players all year. They give us
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 9: chances to win every single night, and there have been
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 9: times that defensively, you know, we need to play better
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 9: in front of them. Defense offensively, we need to give
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 9: them more than two or three goals a night. You know,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 9: as we've all seen, when Joey the Court is on,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 9: he's on, and when Philip Rubauer this season more often
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 9: than not, he's been your best player on the guys.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 9: So you know, it's it's interesting. I can't endpoint in
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 9: exact read and why the stats have flipped. But yeah,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 9: you know if you're doing that, that I test that
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 9: we all love in sports, right, Joey Decord is still
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 9: giving your team a chance to win on a nightly basis.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 9: And I think yesterday, and I said it on the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 9: postgame show last night, was probably the first time that
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 9: I can remember with as Joey Decord being a starter
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 9: for this team, that there's a couple there's more than
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 9: one goal that he would have liked to have had back.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 9: I think he fell victim to some pretty some screens yesterday,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 9: but he'll tell you, man, I should have made those saves.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 9: And I think you know that was probably his first
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 9: quote unquote bad game. If you want to say that.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 11: That I can remember. So the next outing watch out
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 11: because he doesn't he doesn't have to in a row.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: All right, So Islanders tomorrow, I mean, I'm seeing T

  Speaker 1: I gotta say it now, otherwise we're going to get
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: deep into this conversation with coach new Islam, I forget
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: all about it. So friend is your keyword, and so
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: very excited to talk with coach, but also sad because
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: the national championship being played.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 4: This is our last conversation in a while with Rick
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 4: new Heisel.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: He's got he's got a lot of things to do
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: here and so he didn't need to be dealing with
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: you and me here throughout the spring and summer.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 4: So coach, good to have you with us. I can't
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 4: wait to break this thing down with you.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 7: Well, it was quite the exclamation point and yet another
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 7: great college football season. And speaking of friends, you think
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 7: Kurt Signetti's got a few of them.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm wondering what the offer is from the Buffalo
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: Bills and the Las Vegas Raiders to try to get
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: him out of college football.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 11: Till you know.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 7: There was a clause in his contract that triggered last
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 7: night by virtue of their victory that now puts him
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 7: at fourteen million dollars a year.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 7: And he started somewhere around five million, went to eleven million,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 7: and now is going to go to fourteen million. And
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 7: I still say probably underpaid in terms of what he's
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 7: done for the profile of the university that began the
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 7: season as the losingest program in the history of college football,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 7: more losses than anybody else, and now has their first
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 7: national championship, their first Rose Bowl victory, their first Piece
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 7: Bowl victory, and the list goes on and on, their
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 7: first Heisman Trophy winner. It's just a remarkable, remarkable season.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 7: And if there's ever been a poster child for what's possible,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 7: it would be Kurt Signetti and the Indiana Hoosiers.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, first sixteen o season. Ever, Hey, I'll just jump
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: off of your last statement there. I mean, what does
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: this do to the head coach that's like I need time,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I took over a program that
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: was in shambles. I mean, when somebody comes in there
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: and wins instantly and then wins a national championship their
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: second year, what kind of pressure did Kurt Signetti put
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: on all other head coaches in the National Football League that, no,
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: we don't need to wait to win.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: Signetti proved it well.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 11: He'd be the first to say that he had some advantages.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 7: Number One, he had thirteen guys that were that proved
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 7: to be unbelievably worthy. The DiAngelo Ponds of the world,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 7: the Elizas Rots of the world, the uh I mean,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 7: the thirteen guys that came with him from James Madison.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 7: All were incredible not only players, but also leaders in
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 7: terms of transforming a culture that was in place at
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 7: Indiana that now had to become James Madison's culture. And
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 7: rather than an internal fighting and pushing and you know
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 7: this this Tuggle war going on, there was a buy
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 7: in because of the leadership qualities of these guys, and
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 7: then they played remarkably. Obviously, to stay healthy is a huge.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 11: You know component.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 7: But and then to go out and find a guy
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 7: like Fernando Mendoza, who basically is a genius. I mean
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 7: he was on his way to Yale, I mean his
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 7: major at cal was molecular engineering and physics. And to
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 7: go out there, this six' five, kid and to be
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 7: able to throw the ball wherever you want to throw,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 7: it and to have the work ethic that he. Did
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 7: you realize that when he went to The Heisman trophy,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 7: Presentation he'd memorized every Former Heisman trophy winner's background so
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 7: that when he was meeting these guys that he would
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 7: know where they grew up and what school they went.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: To AND i mean he had it all.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 10: Down this guy is so.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 7: Unique and For Tom brady And Mark davis to be
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 7: on the sideline last night to watch this every moment
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 7: and then him put the team on his shoulder unfourth
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 7: and four at the twelve yard line and punch it
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 7: in for the exclamation point, TOUCHDOWN i, mean, goodness gracious,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 7: storyline storylines and then SOME i just keep thinking of
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 7: The abba Hit, fernando AND i guarantee you can't buy
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 7: that forty five In bloomington today because.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 6: The idea OF i, mean what they have Done signetty's
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 6: done in the last couple of years now, historic it.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 6: Is it's all, true AND i don't want to take
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 6: away from that at, All and yet it's obviously comparing
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 6: it to just the history of college. Football we're in
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 6: a new. Era things are different now with nil and.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 6: Whatnot SO i, mean without taking away from the, GREATNESS i,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 6: mean he turned a program that was historically one of the,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 6: worst if not the, worst and just took it to
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 6: the mountaintop in two. Years BUT i, mean how many
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 6: things are is he has he figured out that right
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 6: now he can take advantage of or or use and
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 6: do better than everybody else. Can that has led him
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 6: to hear.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 7: Well the transfer portal was number one because it allowed
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 7: him to take those thirteen kids with. Him it allowed
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 7: him to go Get Curtis rourke a year ago And
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 7: mendoza this, year And Josh hooper is already in tow
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 7: FROM tcu for next.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 11: Year so he's been.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 7: Able and he's also a gym, rat so he watches
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 7: all kinds of films in film on players and he
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 7: has a prototype AND i think he learned this From
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 7: saban as to what you're looking for at the different
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 7: positions in terms of, measurables and they went. There but
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 7: because you can't always get those, guys because there's a
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 7: lot of people with those same numbers and they're recruiting
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 7: them same he dips a little like D'Angelo ponds is
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 7: a five to nine. Corner he's not going to be
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 7: high on THE nfl. List they want taller than, that
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 7: they want longer than.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 11: That and yet when you watch the.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 7: Kid Play Holy, smokes is he a? Competitor and so
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 7: that guy could get recruited By James. Madison and because
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 7: he had this now affinity for, him having watched him
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 7: play and, compete you're. In you come, along you can
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 7: play and be a part of our. Program i'm At,

• 1:41:05
  Speaker 7: to riches and that little team that gets to The

  Speaker 7: final four but usually doesn't win. It, right this team
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 7: ran the table and bludgeon teams along the. Way you
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 7: realize in the first half of their three college football
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 7: playoff games they won sixty two to. Seven in the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 7: first half of all three, games ten. Nothing last, night

• 1:41:43
  Speaker 7: starting to give these kind of flowers to this uprising

  Speaker 7: of a. TEAM i literally Think Gene hackman should have
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 7: been there last. NIGHT i, mean there should have been
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 7: a tape measure to just get up to the goalpost
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 7: and out that it's still only ten feet high and.
• 1:42:04

  Speaker 11: hickory And Jimmy.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 4: CHITWOOD i.
• 1:42:11

  Speaker 6: COACH i, mean one thing that has has been abundantly
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 6: clear over the last couple of years From signettia is
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 6: that he just, says everybody kind of locked in in
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 6: the definitely in the aspect of we're not going to beat.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 6: Ourselves and yet yet last night they're they're driving down
• 1:42:38

• 1:42:42
  Speaker 6: next couple of plays they're going to the first count
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 6: and then the hard. Linch, YES i, mean were you
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 6: in the boat of, like of all, teams as good
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 6: as they are not beating, themselves is one false start
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 6: going to cost?
