1:15
Cason Wave with the up and Cason's going to join us tonight for this podcast
1:19
and get his interesting tidbits on Let's see Minecraft and the Dallas Cowboys in Fortnite?
1:27
Yes for Fortnite? Yeah, all right, thanks for joining us,
1:30
everybody. Sorry for the late start. We've got a bunch to talk about
1:34
tonight. We're gonna talk some USC downfalls, what's going wrong there? How
1:38
about Nebraska they got their quarterback of the future, as did it looks like
1:42
Oregon not the is the future not the now? And then we're gonna talk
1:47
a lot about some of the other portal and coaching moves in the college.
1:51
We'll also touch a little bit on basketball as far as college we'll talk about
1:55
ou big game coming Wednesday, and then we'll also bring up we want to
1:59
review a little bit about the thunder. But first let's start with the most
2:02
pressing issue, is it? It's got to be the Dallas Cowboys and the
2:07
reason. Yeah, and the only reason, the only reason I bring up
2:12
the only reason I bring up the Dallas count talk about that, you talk
2:15
about that, but they were a two and a half point underdog to begin
2:17
with. So what does that say? Well, I think I think home
2:23
field advantage one. Dallas obviously has a losing record or they're about five hundred
2:29
on the road this year. Obviously, I think they're undefeated still at home.
2:31
So that was a big part of it. The weather was going to
2:34
be an issue, and let's be honest, the Cowboys. The Cowboys haven't
2:37
played The Cowboys haven't played well on the road for the last few seasons.
2:42
Currently setting at ten and four, obviously second in the NFC East after the
2:47
loss this week to the Bills, and it wasn't just a loss, I
2:52
mean it was a drubbing by the Bills that they put on it as a
2:54
clinic. Now, what you got to concern being a Dallas fan and the
2:59
Cardinals game was an early in the year, but you got to be concerned
3:02
about the Bills coming in and you're going there and you're getting killed. And
3:06
then you went to the forty nine ers and they killed you there earlier in
3:08
the year. So that well, no, that was just a couple of
3:12
weeks ago. Oh was that the first Okay, that's right, Yeah,
3:15
that was those a couple of weeks ago, and it wasn't It wasn't even
3:19
close to there. Of course, there you go talking about two road games.
3:22
Dallas is not going to have home field advantage through the playoffs unless I
3:27
don't even I don't even know if a miracle is is possible. Well,
3:29
they had they had that first place, They had the first place in the
3:31
East for about a week. They held onto that, then they dropped it
3:37
to the Bills. And now the Eagles are let's go and see what that
3:38
score is. Yeah, currently currently ten ten to nothing. That's pushing halftime
3:45
right now in that Monday night less than two minutes. Looks like Drew luck
3:51
is trying to trying to get him in there. The second game in a
3:54
row that I lost seven on the on the elevel, he did really well
3:59
against the night year and I think until the Niners took over after halftime,
4:02
Gino still growing injury. So but anyway, I want to talk about Dallas
4:10
because that's the concerning part now. If you remember, I said last week,
4:13
I thought the AFC champion was going to be the Bills. And and
4:17
while I even on my picks didn't break Dallas to I picked Dallas to win
4:20
because they were the dogs. I thought Buffalo had a great showing regular season
4:25
champion, it looks like it's going to be the Ravens. The Ravens and
4:29
they they they played a good game. I thought that, you know last
4:34
night were moving on to that game. But like I said, as we
4:36
close, a great win for the Bills, I think they needed that.
4:40
That puts them right now at eight and six and right there continuing to get
4:45
because they currently aren't in the playoffs as before they started now they were,
4:51
they were in the hunt. So any as far as UH talk about the
4:57
Ravens, they still right now have clinched. They have clinched. Uh well,
5:01
they're currently the one seed they've clinched, the only team that's clinched so
5:04
far, which is weird because well, no, the in the a f
5:09
C, because coming into that the NFC had already had Philly, Dallas,
5:13
and uh San Francisco clinch correct, whereas a FC coming into the Baltimore they
5:21
didn't have anybody got the Cowboys clinching. Yeah, it was Dallas, Philly
5:25
and in San Francisco. Those are the only teams that clinched. The current
5:30
seeds right now is Dolphins two. In this a FC, Dolphins are two
5:33
Chiefs three, Jaguars four. I thought the Jaguars played a horrible game last
5:36
time. Trevor Warts continues to look like the guy that I've said he was
5:41
going to be from the beginning, win some games. Just blunch of that
5:45
was was hilarious. An yeah. So and then you've got the in the
5:49
Bengals with a backup quarterback Browning who's looking sensational. They're setting at eight and
5:55
six, still in the playoffs. Colts are the seventh seed at eight and
5:59
six, and then Tens Texas Buffalo and so all those Tinsburgh played themselves out
6:03
of that game, and they continued to play themselves out of that game,
6:08
and it really you couldn't really blame it all on Trubisky, but I mean
6:12
he was a big factor in them winning that game that they should have quite
6:15
easily won. I think it was. I think that that the AFC is
6:20
a lot more interesting because I think the NFC is practically already set. You've
6:25
got the top four seeds, well in a manner because well actually got the
6:29
top you got four out of top five four or four out of five,
6:32
Yeah, you got Tampa Bay still is not clenched. No, no,
6:36
And there's setting tied with the Saints currently in first place right now. Uh,
6:42
and then the Saints or second and Atlanta took the loss this week and
6:45
the Packers was a huge loss for them. I think everybody else beyond that
6:49
train tried, I mean, and they look good. I thought the defense
6:54
played hord. But hey, you talk about Baker Mayfield, the guy that
6:57
continues. You know, we're Oklahoma fans around here. We've consistently said that
7:00
he could be a starting quarterback, but generally in the nationwide, they've continued
7:04
to shit on him. Even though even though his time in Cleveland though that
7:09
was good. Look what the Panthers have done since he left. Nothing they've
7:12
actually got, They've actually gotten worse. He made the Rams better when he
7:15
went there because McVeigh know what kind of quarterback? He was perfect, perfect
7:19
quarterback rating against the the uh, the Packers this week one fifty eight point
7:24
three, four touchdowns, ery interceptions. I did, they won, They
7:27
won thirty, they won thirty, they won thirty, they won thirty four
7:30
to twenty. And he's not. So he's on a one year, four
7:32
million dollar contract right now, and the guys he's making money. Statistically,
7:39
he's he's right in line with Brady's last year with the Bucks. And like
7:42
I've said before, because I know the Bucks, their offensive line is not
7:45
good. No it's not. But do you think that they're gonna draft a
7:47
quarterback? Do you think they're going to go line? No? I think
7:50
they. I think they need to quit worrying about a quarterback right now unless
7:54
they want to get one six seventh or anyway four later, fourth to fifth
7:58
round. Don't get stupid, get somebody high or trade away everybody next year.
8:03
We Tampa's got a lot of dead cap right now from the Brady and
8:05
some other issues. So, uh, the goal is, is you f
8:09
franchised Baker and and then signed Mike Evans to an extension. The guy's a
8:13
first ballot Hall of Famer. I've said this over and we have a gud
8:18
went out played him that game, Yes, because I think he's getting more
8:22
of the coverage. But I think he's pulling off to make those guys look
8:24
better, and Baker is moving around to look at other receivers rather than going
8:30
to you know, Mike Evans every time, which I mean the guy.
8:33
The guy's a Hall of Famer, no doubt. But I thought the other.
8:35
I thought the other was the forty nine ers that they continue to Yes,
8:41
Kate, would you like to say something? What would you like to
8:43
say? Huh go Cowboys? Is that what you're trying to say? No,
8:48
Okay, big Cowboys fan over here? Huge? That's his mother's Yeah,
8:54
all right, so is his when the game was going on. Now,
8:58
I think she expected it. I think it was I don't think expected
9:00
to drubbing. No, not that bad. No, So yeah, what
9:03
do you want to say? Save them a lot of stuff? Okay,
9:07
like what is it? Yeah? Talking football? Okay, this is our
9:11
football podcast. What we're talking we're talking football? Right, yeah? Football?
9:16
So go Cowboys? So anyway, don't touch that bad. But anyways,
9:22
as we move on the playoff picture is starting to look more clear,
9:24
and the well, you're correct, NFC South is still not that's the only
9:35
one it looks like. And then you're you're gonna see what the wild card
9:37
is and it looks like the Rams. Yes, yes, yeah, I
9:39
hear you, We can hear you, yes, sir. What would you
9:45
like to say about the NFL that choose your words? Horrible job, good
9:52
job. So so it's the playoff picture. It looks like the Rams are
9:56
gonna make it. And then it looks like but that's what that's what it
9:58
looks like. We do not know that bottom of the bottom. The bottom
10:03
two are still and the Vikings took a bad loss this week. They had
10:09
that game one I, oh my god, and Nick Mullins came out playing
10:13
no. And then they had Nick Mullins came up playing that's I mean he
10:18
was throwing. That was a bad loss. Tried to lose that. It
10:20
was overtime. It was overtime. Yeah. I didn't get the coverage because
10:24
I figured that a a f C is a f C looks to be set,
10:30
except you're going to get those bottom ones. It's either going to be
10:31
the Browns, Bengals, Colts, Colts, with Minshew continues to look good
10:35
and he's a surprised Houston and then Houston. So that's going to be a
10:39
real tight race right there. And I was looking at the schedules, Uh,
10:43
to finish up the Bills isn't as hard, and I think the the
10:48
Bengals. Sean pull up the Colts schedule and I'll look at the Bengals.
10:52
The Bengals. The Bengals remaining schedule is is definitely interesting as far as Andy
11:00
has. Andy has the Falcons and then the spastic Raiders and then that Houston
11:05
team that we don't know if they're for real. Youtner that that was the
11:09
schedule I thought was more the easier one Falcons Falcons. Yeah, yes,
11:13
I thought that the call. Yeh know, the Falcons game. Yes,
11:15
but you know, after what the Raiders did to the Chargers, yeah,
11:18
I but did the Chargers just give up there? I mean their coach got
11:24
fired, all the rumors, well the coach got fired because of the game,
11:26
and they didn't really give up. That Raiders team was a complete team,
11:31
you know, from top to bottom. They beat the breaks off of
11:35
the Chargers well, and I thought that they did. And I thought that
11:39
they've given up, and I think that's why the coach. I think at
11:41
halftime they gave up. I think that well, and everything just went wrong
11:45
for them, and it was one of those another prime game that was just
11:48
boring as hell. Yeah, which wasn't which wasn't good. We called that
11:52
and I've called for the Stanley firing for years. Should have been fired last
11:56
year. Well, well, like I said, you know, he had
11:58
to ride a bus. He had to ride the poor bus with the out
12:00
of Vegas back to la because there's a there's a loser bus that will take
12:05
you from Vegas to l A. I don't think it costs you anything,
12:07
maybe three bucks. So the I wanted to find the dad you google schedule.
12:18
We finished. They know they play the Steelers, Okay, Steelers and
12:22
Browns, and they and Chiefs see that that they were the one that had
12:26
the harder one. That's what I was trying to think. If they at
12:30
Steelers at Chiefs and they do get the Browns at home, what do you
12:33
believe in Joe Flacco? You know, I believe in that defense, and
12:37
I think that that was that's been something more that's continued to carry that team.
12:41
But Flacco to his credit has not made the big mistakes and not yet.
12:46
No, no, And he's only played two games, correct, And
12:50
I think or did he lose that first one? I know he won the
12:54
first one. Okay, yeah, he won that first one. That was
12:56
against Boo Boo boo. And I thought that, And I and the Bills
13:01
go to Chargers, they play the Patriots, and they play the Dolphins,
13:03
So I would I would factor them in at ten and seven. Maybe they
13:07
might lose the Dolphins. But if the Dolphins are already seated up at the
13:11
last game, okay, so if they're already if they're already seated up at
13:16
the end of the game, then it's not gonna matter what they're gonna do.
13:18
Is Miami more than likely that they can't improve themselves, That Miami was
13:22
going to be fighting for their lives at this point, you know, being
13:24
exposed. A good defense would take them down. You know, nobody saw
13:28
the Tennessee game coming about now they're their defense. We've talked about now Tyreek
13:35
kill missed this last game. Didn't need him. I mean, they they
13:39
led. I just their defense isn't ready and and it seems like they also
13:45
they they are the cowboys of the AFC. I've said that before thee that
13:50
and it's gonna be fun to see them in the playoffs. I think the
13:54
NFL playoffs generally usually are are you're talking about tight most exciting NFC. I
14:00
would be real surprised if it's not the forty nine ers to be the the
14:05
representative. And like I said, I've picked the Bills to be on the
14:07
f side, but it could be Ravens or Chiefs Miami going in and beating
14:11
a team without a quarterback because they knocked Zach Wilson out of that game.
14:15
Well, but I mean, you have to give them a little bit of
14:16
credit thirty to get some good defense. That's what I was getting to say,
14:20
give them a little bit of credit because all we've heard all years the
14:22
Jets have one of the best NFL defenses and bistically, you look at the
14:26
stores and that hurts them and that's what killed them. Definitely, definitely.
14:31
All right, let's let's move on to let's move on to what are gonna
14:37
talk about portal? I mean, do we need well, we can do
14:39
bulls real quick. Oh yeah, yeah, we do need to talk about
14:41
our Then we'll talk about the port which speaking of anybody's in any Bowl contest
14:46
right now, it's it's it's horrible. It's a bitch to play because you
14:48
never know who he's playing. You're gonna have to look at the second and
14:52
third stringers to see how That's why I sent you. Jayden Daniels isn't playing
14:56
for LSU. He's going to the draft this week. We don't have a
14:58
lot of exciting games. I thought. The couple that I looked at that
15:03
interested me a little bit was the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth. That's
15:07
gonna be James Madison versus air Force. Obviously, James Madison coach is gone.
15:11
Air Force. James madis had one of the best seasons they've ever had.
15:15
Air Force always a tough team, very detailed, super sharp, smart.
15:20
So that's that's Troy Calhoun is going to be there, while I'm surprised
15:24
he hasn't. He's interviewed other places but but hasn't left. And I thought
15:26
the other interest once. The other the other interesting one was Duke at Troy.
15:31
Troy's got a new coach, uh and Duke also will be playing with
15:35
a new coach. Quarter That's that's news, correct, So I think that's
15:39
gonna I think Troy probably wins that one. But Utah Georgia State South Alabama
15:46
just hired oh Utah in Northwestern that was one. I forgot No that that's
15:50
an interesting That's probably the best of the rest is Uh, Troy just hired
15:54
somebody said coach or somebody's offensive coordinator. They just Troy. That's Notre Dame's
16:03
Notre Dame. Well, I couldn't remember his name. Gerard Parker. Gerard
16:08
Parker, Notre Dame. You don't you don't know what the killer for me
16:11
was. New Mexico State coach killed just not not getting it done. There's
16:18
a good good that that's in the New Mexico Bowl, which is obviously their
16:22
rival, and anybody that needs to go look at Jerry coach. Jerry Kill's
16:26
press conference at the end of the game is priceless because he throws a lot
16:32
of shade towards the New Mexico program about not where they got to practice.
16:34
I mean, it was it was a really good It was a really good
16:37
watch and listen because that guy, uh, he cracks me up and he's
16:41
a hell of a coach. He should win Coach of the Year this year
16:45
or owed him for you know, but hey, Fresco State, I mean
16:48
we kind of. I mean they've had a good program for for decades,
16:52
some up and downs, but mainly up. And I thought that they'd done
16:55
good and U c l A and pressed me with their well U c l
16:59
A. M wins, you were very upset. Well, I had boise
17:03
in my picks. But UCLA impressed me because I thought, you know,
17:07
new quarterback Deontae Moore or Donte Los coordinator losing the defensive coordinator more went to
17:12
Oregon. Uh the freshman quarterback, true freshman that started for them. So
17:15
he's went to Oregon to back up Dylan Gabriel. He is the future there
17:19
now. But I thought that the biggest thing was that Chip Kelly had been
17:22
talked about all year about being fired. I mean the media around there was
17:26
he's gone, he's done last year, et cetera, et cetera. And
17:30
I thought he came through. They scored and he and they finished eight and
17:32
five, which isn't great, but I mean beat the high powered USC offense.
17:37
But wouldn't you think that UCLA, if you look at an overall job
17:41
that's hard to win at that they think they're better than I would put that
17:44
in one. I mean, that's what you know, we need to win.
17:48
You're competing against USC. It reminds me a little bit about Auburn versus
17:52
the Alabama deal. But UCLA, I mean, you played in the rosebul
17:56
which is great, but you don't have an on campus stadium. On campus
17:57
stadium that hurts what anybody says. So I think that I think that that
18:02
was I thought that was a good win. You're in l A repailed them.
18:06
So the games that, like I said, Utah and Northwestern is gonna
18:08
be interesting that the Northwestern coach stayed from the Utah has the same staff and
18:14
and and they're going to I had trouble for a picks because I might end
18:18
up having to drop a game. So that way we can do the Oklahoma
18:22
State game because it happens on that Wednesday, but also USC Louisville happens on
18:30
that Wednesday. Okay, yeah that I mean, of course that's next week
18:33
and that's not even this it is, but for the next week's picks,
18:37
i'd have to throw these in or tell everybody to get Coloma State, Texas
18:41
A and M game really interests me just because I I want to see you
18:47
would think on paper, because of everybody leaving A and M that os U
18:51
should throttle them. I just kind of wonder how that game is going to
18:56
turn out as we've as we've moved on, and we'll give a little highlight
19:00
or a refresher. I guess I should say as we moved down to the
19:03
national shift the final four, is any of your thoughts changing? Have you
19:07
moved any which way of how you think about how these games are going on
19:11
or that the end results. Has anything change your mind? Or you're still
19:14
pretty set on call because you've got you've got, You've got I see that
19:21
you've got You've got Alabama and Michigan. I mean, sorry, you've got
19:25
Alabama and Texas and yours. Correct. I don't remember. I honestly don't,
19:30
because I've said before I I really I've got Alabama beating Michigan, and
19:36
I know everybody wants that game. Everybody wants Alabama Texas Part two. I'm
19:40
leaning Washington. I know one of our one of our female listeners, Craig
19:45
Sampson, he really wants he really wants that as well. Uh, but
19:48
you can't look past Washington. And there has been discussion that Washington is a
19:53
faster team, I think, and that's what Oh you used to beat Texas
20:00
use a hurry up. I think the I think Penis, while he's had
20:03
a hell of a year, I think his wide receivers make him the the
20:06
doozy at one and eleven. I can't remember the other guy's name because it's
20:10
not in front of me right now. But those guys are fast. I
20:11
think they're gonna wear down Texas defense. Now. One thing that Washington's not
20:15
and they shouldn't try to do is try to pound the ball. Uh and
20:19
try to do it that way early. I think you go fast on them
20:22
and you just you keep moving. You go fast, you get the Reds
20:25
around. Now, pound Quinn, youwers. It's gonna have to be his
20:29
game to win. I know the running backs important. That Brooks is still
20:33
out. Is he going to be in for the He's gonna still be injured.
20:37
No, he's out. No, I was talking about yours. So
20:37
I think that that's the game. He's gonna have to perform at his highest
20:41
to win that game. And the defense is gonna have to secondary for Texas
20:45
is going to be the ones that you keep an eye on. Is They're
20:48
going to have to stop that high potent pass offense. Now yours, Washington
20:52
can get open over the middle. Yours no mistakes a lot, yours no
20:56
mistakes, and and and they on the opposite side, they need to line
21:00
has to hold up. That offensive line has to be stuck tex Texas for
21:04
them to have a chance. Texas game plan should be to control the time
21:08
of possession torolder line. Uh CJ. Is it backs? I think Baxter
21:12
is the running back now for Texas. Is it Baxter? We'll get a
21:18
comment here in a minute, but I'm going on I'm going off the top
21:22
of my head on that one because I didn't write that down. But I
21:25
think I think that what you're going to see is them try to slow it
21:29
down and also them try to pound the ball and wear out Washington because Washington
21:34
size wise on both sides, is smaller that they are. I mean,
21:37
Texas is is way bigger. J CJ. Baxtro be the guy that's gonna
21:45
be it's gonna be carrying the rock for them. So that's the guy that
21:49
you're gonna watch, I think. But I still think yours is the most
21:52
important. Now you flip over and we'll talk more as we get close,
21:56
but I haven't. I'm still thinking Washington by three is what I'm leaning right
22:00
now. Haven't changed on that. And then we've got Alabama. Missions,
22:03
We've got Alabama and Michigan and that has been yeah, and so you got
22:08
Alabama pull up the Alabama Michigan. That's the game that you're gonna see if
22:14
the offense for Michigan can keep up with Alabama. And and and I don't
22:19
know if that's gonna happen or not. I well, and saman just went
22:25
out and hired a ex Michigan guy. Was that a true story? Was
22:29
it? Okay? See? I thought that was like some clickbait stuff I
22:33
didn't even look at. Actually no, But I think I think the key
22:37
to the Alabama's is the run game and mill Row and and their defense.
22:41
That front line for Alabama's got to stop that run game. And then as
22:45
Michigan, what do you do? Then you're gonna make JJ McCartney be the
22:48
hero and throw it. He's not. I mean, he's had good numbers,
22:52
there's no doubt about that. But they are a run first, defense
22:56
type of team, and it's I would be surprised if Michigan won. I
23:02
really would that that would surprise me more than Washington beat in Texas. It
23:07
would. Uh you know, the players that they have in there for Michigan
23:11
not bad guys. A lot of them end up in the NFL. Oh
23:15
huge, Yeah, I mean that's a great They've built it the right way
23:17
for the Big ten. I just think that no, it's it's not.
23:22
The defenses are are way tighter, way heavier. They stacked the box more,
23:26
they blitz more, and I think the offense just doesn't have the potent
23:30
power that they're gonna be. And they've got secondary that can run man coverage.
23:34
I don't know who, I don't know where they're getting all their their
23:37
secondary coaches from, but a lot of their secondary seems to be able to
23:41
run man coverage quite easily. As as what you want, especially in the
23:45
SEC, and it's exactly what you're going to see you try to continue to
23:48
move forward to, is running a lot of uh man in the secondary or
23:55
a man in as the corners. And that's what you have to get those
23:56
corners in there to play man. If you can't play man, you're just
24:00
gonna get You don't even need tall ones. You need speedy ones. You
24:02
just need fast quarters. I totally, I totally agree on that one,
24:06
because a lot of small guys can still get up and get the ball.
24:07
They can still get in the way, They get any real quick before I
24:11
know, we had some Thanks to our listeners for listening last week or last
24:14
couple of weeks. You've had some audio issues, is it is? Give
24:18
us some feedback if it's any louder on your end, if you can hear
24:21
it a little better than what it was. So yeah, because I might
24:22
have been getting the wrong microph. He's feed us back on that to see
24:26
if it's any better. So you guys can hear it, not have to.
24:29
And he's just asking you guys to text him. He just likes to
24:32
text. Now, just make sure that that it's better that we got that
24:34
problem fixed. So anyway, anything else as we as we close up as
24:37
the college balls, we're going to talk a lot more about them this and
24:40
Tide wins. Do you think Saving retires No, I don't. I don't
24:44
think he's ready yet. I think he's a young old man. I really
24:47
do you think he's a Joepa like? As soon as he done with football,
24:51
he just I don't know. I don't think that about him because I
24:55
think he's just a young old man, you know, I got that,
24:57
and I think it's something in poor that someone like him. Now he is
25:02
gonna want to try to win it. Now would he retire, It wouldn't
25:06
surprise me. I honestly think he's gonna have a going uh. I think
25:11
he's gonna have a going out season. He's he seems like the one that
25:15
might say for the program, hey, this is gonna be my last year.
25:19
We're gonna finish it. You think he's gonna do a Bob stupids and
25:22
be like, hey, I'm turning the program over this No, I know,
25:23
actually think it's gonna be at the beginning of the year or mid year.
25:26
You know, Bob waited till the end, and they already had the
25:29
replacement. I think a lot of people knew well that that was potential,
25:33
but Bob wasn't gonna do it then. But I think they're gonna give it
25:36
some time, or I think he's gonna he's gonna want to going away season
25:40
years. I do not think that long. But hell, if they're winning,
25:44
I mean, thanks Carl appreciated that anyway. I generally am so all
25:51
right, generally always let's move on as we as we talk a little bit
25:53
about I want to talk a little bit about George, that he spent his
26:00
eye. Let's talk a little bit about Oh you right now, portal looks
26:07
like we got thish. We are offensive lineman. Who was that guy the
26:12
one that left of the one we bring? Oh the guy? Yeah?
26:17
Guy, So we're not yeah, we're not going to talk. Is is
26:18
he he's not a portal guy? Is he's a recruit? He's a recruit?
26:22
Well, I just saw it this morning, but I wanted to find
26:26
I really wanted to talk about the sharp kid because I know that we brought
26:30
in a kid today. Where's the portal? Where is that? Where's that
26:34
darn old transfer? The Eddie Pierre Eddie? Make sure I say his name
26:41
right. It's Eddie, Pierre Lewis, the p l Eddie, Pierre Lewis.
26:45
He's going to be the kid from Tampa Catholic offensive lineman. He's going
26:48
to be a guard. He's twenty four. Commit he committed three days ago
26:55
to oh you you talk, you guys, go watch the video him running
27:00
in a track meet. You would not believe what A three. He is
27:03
a three hundred and fifteen pound guy, can move and the strength he's got
27:07
is nuts. So I think we've got two good offensive lines. The kid
27:10
from London that did the NFL London deal. So I think the offensive line
27:14
because we've lost some people. Obviously, we've lost some people that's going into
27:17
the draft, and that's what you know, there's been a lot of bullshit
27:19
rumors about that. Is Hey, listen, not everybody's transferring. We've got
27:22
to We had one, a couple, but one good one that transferred,
27:26
probably because he's getting paid somewhere else. And he even said that. He
27:30
came out and said, I'm gonna get go get paid. So and you
27:33
think when that doesn't work out for him, he's going to regret it.
27:36
I who know, who cares? I mean, but with a lot of
27:38
these kids, you know we're going to end up. They're going to end
27:41
up with that regret. They're going to end up. Oh, I transferred
27:45
because somebody wanted to pay me. And now all of a sudden, I'm
27:51
not doing so well. I'm not I'm not where I thought I was gonna
27:52
be. I think what they need to do, and like I've said,
27:55
it before the KNIL and all that stuff. Getting paid is great, no
27:59
problem them with that, but quit with the immediate transfer and that money because
28:06
look at look at all of Texas A and m agent they I mean,
28:08
you don't do that in the NFL. I mean you sign a contract.
28:12
Well no, but I'm saying, but you you got to. You got
28:15
to feel you know, you've got to fulfill that contract. You just can't
28:18
go, oh wait a minute, then I'm going to leave and hey,
28:21
I want you to pay me more unless you do the one year contract.
28:23
But you know as well as I do, in the NFL they want guaranteed
28:26
contracts, so very rarely do you get that one year contract. I think
28:32
I think that's what's ruining college football. I think that's actually what's going to
28:36
uh bring back. Not that the NFL needed anything, but I think you're
28:41
going to potentially see the NFL continue that gap just to be better the middle
28:45
lot of these kids. That's where they're getting paid, and that's what they
28:48
they believe that, you know, this is where they're just going to make
28:53
their money because they believe they're making more money here than they will in the
28:57
NFL. Now probably is if you go in the NFL and you are a
29:02
superstar, then you will make your money back. Yeah. So you're right,
29:07
You're right, you'll make it later. So so yeah, so we've
29:11
got, you know, linebacker from USC. How many people Lee lost USC?
29:18
Yeah? I want to talk about the five star recruit that they lost
29:23
from Malachi Nelson. That was the guy that had originally committed to OEU and
29:26
then left. He was five star at Los Alamedas, I think California.
29:32
We watched his high school career last season, year before, year before,
29:37
So no, he ain't good. Now what and then you've got the five
29:41
star cornerback leaving. Is that a sign that Lincoln Riley's looking elsewhere? I
29:45
mean, the Chargers has been mentioned. I honestly don't think any NFL team
29:49
wants him right now as a head coach. That's just my opinion. So
29:52
I think that's just I think his agents out there. I think I think
29:56
so too. But as as we uh, as we close that, I
30:03
mean, that program looks like it's losing a lot, it's lost some,
30:07
but I think that it's doing good for I tell you, oh, miss
30:08
is the one that's really knocking out of the park for the portal. You're
30:11
talking number one defensive end. You talk about number number two, Well that's
30:17
Leby coming in. A lot of those guys would have played for Misssippi.
30:19
Oh okay, if I said that it was a miss No, it's me.
30:23
I was thinking. I was thinking, I was thinking Levy. But
30:26
yeah, and what's going on with that school? I mean it's they.
30:30
They don't they they don't look spectacular on defense. Their offense looks amazing at
30:37
times. Well, I think and I compared, and I compared Lane.
30:41
I compared Lane and Lincoln Riley to each other. I think they're building that
30:45
defense though. To be honest, I mean they really are. He says,
30:51
But no, I I would agree with that. So anyway, I
30:53
don't have anything else on the portal because it wears me out. But I
30:56
just thought the USC stuff was pretty funny. But no, I just I
30:59
saw a lot of new about us losing their entire offensive line. But then,
31:03
but then people aren't realizing what we have coming in. I'm waiting.
31:07
I'm waiting on Ollie Gordon sounds like he's going to stay at issue, just
31:11
he hasn't announced it yet. There was some snippets that he said, Well,
31:15
in my time all announced, So I don't know if that's going to
31:18
be during the Bowl, but yeah, but this is that BS with Williams
31:22
and but it sounds like it sounds like he's going to stay. It looks
31:26
like he's going to play, so right, that's all I have. I
31:30
mean, it's it's just the I mean, we could talk a lot about
31:33
dealing Rilla though that was number one. That's what I wanted to talk about.
31:36
Flips number one went from Ueah. We talked about that earlier number one
31:40
quarterback though five star dealing did leave Georgia and Brock Vandergrift update Kentucky, Kentucky.
31:48
We're gonna see what happens with that. Brock Vandergrift, he was our
31:52
favorite for a while. He was Lincoln, he was he was. I
31:59
don't see a thing coming up in the bowls. And we can talk about
32:02
Okahoma State, Texas A and M. But I think we'll do that on
32:06
a Tuesday. That's gonna be a good game. It's just going to be
32:08
interesting to see how they play. I think Oklama State is going to have
32:12
a more complete team because they don't seem to have anybody bolting right now nobody
32:17
has significance and nobody said, hey, I'm setting out agree with that,
32:22
and the coaching staff stays in tact. So the four so the four main
32:27
teams of the playoff, all those guys are staying except for you know,
32:30
a couple of backups. But elsewhere. If you're doing a bowl bull pick
32:38
it is, it's a crap shoot. It's been a crap shoot for the
32:42
last couple of years because you don't know who's staying. You don't know who's
32:45
going until like the week before the bowl, and it's who's setting out,
32:51
who's doing what it's I don't know how, I don't know how to do
32:54
it. I just I just I just pick off what's there. Well,
32:59
you I think all So you see though that now that you still see a
33:01
few players that haven't really played a lot still leaving those final four programs,
33:06
I think the Bowl game become the bowl season becomes more interesting when you move
33:09
it to that twelve team playoffs. It's going to give more validity to the
33:13
bowls. More people are going to stay because they have that shot of getting
33:15
to that well. And I'm still under the impression that the Florida State Georgia
33:19
game is going to be all freshmen or underclassmen maybe on both sides. It's
33:23
it's going to be interesting to see how that works. I agree, even
33:25
if they have it, because we still haven't heard anything about if they're going
33:29
to have it, Yeah, they're going to play. I don't think either
33:30
one of I don't think Florida State's going to be Is you think they're going
33:35
to go to the A to the Big Ten? I don't know. That's
33:37
all about the money game, and I can't predict that because the granted rights
33:40
was so long out. There's a way I saw that they could get out
33:45
of it. But at the same time, they want to go to the
33:47
Big Ten because the ESPN deal with the SEC, and they you know,
33:54
they're they're kind of pissy about that. Yeah, see pissy about the SEC
34:00
part in the ESPN time. Yeah, And I think if they're realistic,
34:04
they' go to they fit in the S they fit in the SEC. Let's
34:07
just go to the SEC and then they can have that money and they can
34:09
be part of that discussion. The SPN, the ESPN just make that money.
34:15
But no, I agree that, and and you know they sent letters
34:20
and the Rick Scott, the senator from Florida sent letters and wanted demands of
34:25
Georgia did too, Georgie's and it's like, oh, I think I think
34:30
we're kind of done with that now. And and honestly, you can say
34:35
that that that top four team, that those top four teams are going to
34:37
be arguing about who are fifth or six? Is we would be as ou
34:40
fans this year bitching because they we didn't make the top twelve. We would
34:44
have finished thirteen or fourteen. So what are you going to take out of
34:47
that? You know there too, I mean, it's just, you know,
34:51
you can't just keep whining about that. Let's move on. Play your
34:52
bowl game. You know, you've got seniors that want to finish out on
34:55
a win. You got your fans that's going to come pay a lot of
34:59
money to see you. Uh, and it's against Georgia, and you know
35:01
against is gonna be a good game. So anyway, so all right,
35:07
moving on anything else on on college is we'll talk a little bit more next
35:09
week and then still give some more thoughts on on the playoff as that gets
35:14
closer. If anything changes, whether you have I haven't heard, I think
35:16
Dylan Royola going from Georgia to Nebraska because Beck was coming back was one of
35:21
the biggest things. Yeah, and I don't even know if it was that.
35:24
I think he made some money there. I think I think they went
35:27
out and Nebraska paid just on the quarterback, I do. I think they
35:30
did, and and they should. I mean, that's what that team at
35:35
Nebraska will Howard Ran Malachai Nelson. No, I think that. I think
35:39
that what Lincoln rally realized though, is that what he thought was going to
35:44
be good ain't as good as he thought. All Right, you know,
35:46
well it's my opinion. Let's move on. Let's talk a little bit about
35:50
the We'll keep it brief because we're wakeall because I want to talk. I
35:55
want to talk about the Oklahoma City Thunder My Bulls. Don't we need a
36:00
new coach. There's a there's a good team there, but we need a
36:04
coach. Hey, that coach used to be at our team and he sucked
36:07
there. So it was Yeah, so I missed out on there. But
36:09
hey, but you beat the seventy six. No, we're winning. We're
36:12
winning game. We're just not winning the games we should. That's the problem
36:16
with the Bulls. You know, they're they're a good team, and they
36:19
keep talking about trading Levine. Trade Levine is like, you cannot build a
36:22
team if you keep trading all the guys away. We're not quite a third
36:29
into the season, but we're getting close. And how many times has uh,
36:32
how many times has oklanda city lost a Sacramento. They can't be exactly.
36:37
They cannot beat second off. That is the one. If they play
36:39
them in the playoffs, it's going to be ugly because they they can the
36:45
city's number. And I also wanted to let everyone know out there and Facebook,
36:51
Twitter, Spotify, what else we on a lot of things just social
36:54
media. Don't that don't fall asleep like our guest tonight, because I knew
36:59
you was tired. Really yeah, we're that damn boring. I'm sorry,
37:04
Ladies and gentlemen are special. Kiss case I knew Caseon Riley has has gone
37:10
to sleep. He so wanted to be. We we did well, No,
37:14
he's still he's got to He was watching his show, but he I
37:16
had to give. He wanted to be. We did the sound test last
37:20
week and he loved it and was talking he had to be on here.
37:22
So so sweet dreams to this little one is he No, it was,
37:30
but anyway, as we as we, I want to talk a little bit
37:32
about the thunder before we get to our closing. Uh, we're only thirty
37:36
minutes in going up, all right, so you want to talk about he's
37:42
the m v P right now? I think I really do, I really
37:45
Doge, You'll just Alexander. Uh, they're currently No, they're currently the
37:52
two seed right now in the West. But it's still earlier this season.
37:54
But I think, idiot, it's very early. Like I said, we're
37:57
not quite to a third of our way in surprising team for me. This
38:01
he's in Golden State. They're just getting old, you know what. Draymond
38:06
Green finally got his come uppins. Congratulations because I never liked him. Guy
38:12
who plays hell of defense. Could guard one of the best guys. We
38:15
don't punch in the mouth if he gets upset. It's they should have done
38:17
this last year or was it the year before? Well either Adams Stephen Adams
38:22
in the in the growing like three times, yeah, either one. They
38:25
should have done it. They should have had a year before that. This
38:28
Yeah, yeah, it's it's her own damn fault. And Zion update.
38:32
Well that generational talent is I don't think I ever called him that, but
38:37
I did. But we know we're making fun, but I did. I
38:40
was afraid he would eat himself out of the league and he hasn't yet,
38:44
but he's still don He should have paid for the baby, Mama's the new
38:47
life. He's definitely not in shape for what that goes. But hey,
38:52
thunder ninety four sixty six, Thank you everyone. If you're listening from the
38:54
Oklahoma City area that voted last week with a resounding seventy so happy about that.
39:00
Well, that's huge for Oklahoma City, in huge for Oklahoma because that
39:01
continues to get the big league. Now you build a new arena, Now
39:05
you've got possibilities. Not that I'm going to ever say that hockey ANHL could
39:08
come, because I think we're gonna split up a lot of money. Tulsa
39:12
would be the better hockey. But hold on, but what exactly what I
39:15
was getting to. But once you get to that state and the money and
39:19
the people in that suburban area, it's huge. I mean, that's that's
39:22
what's going to grow that economy there. So now that'll be memories right there.
39:31
You can't come on again till you know you till you don't, so
39:35
you're not snoring. So anyway, No, but I can see Tulsa as
39:37
as as a hockey town. We just need to get the expansion we need
39:44
to. Some cowties is going to be interesting because they're going to go somewhere
39:47
sound. They will not let them go. Arizona will not let them and
39:51
they need to, they really need to. So But anyway, basketball,
39:54
I mean, if this is the time of year, right around Christmas has
39:58
when basketball really kicks off for most people, they kind of let it slide
40:02
for a while because the third money. It's funny because the NFL is trying
40:06
to take over that basketball money. Well and that well, that was NBA's
40:09
worst nightmares to have Christmas, Christmas Saturday, Sunday or a Monday. And
40:15
so the NFL is like, hey, wait a minute, We're going to
40:17
have our first ever Black Friday game. Is that was that right? Yeah?
40:21
And then they were like and then we're going to have our first ever
40:23
Christmas Eve game for Christmas Day? Yeah? And I think yes. And
40:27
I think though that what's funny about that is I think there now this is
40:30
all conjecture rumors, but I think that used to there was this like understood
40:35
agreement they wouldn't get a message nobody. Yeah in the NFL is like,
40:37
you know, let's stop. In my opinion, I don't think the NBA
40:40
should start till Christmas. That's just my opinion. I would say New Year
40:45
no, well either way, but they start, they start that week well,
40:47
so that then they played stupid stupid Could you do that the stupid cup
40:53
that they did, I don't know why they don't do that in the preseason
40:57
or do something like that. I don't think that was a bad idea on
40:59
it, and I think you just made no sense to me to be mid
41:01
season no, but early it was something that they're you know, half a
41:06
million dollars to each player that won. Was pretty impressive number to pass out.
41:08
So I thought that was I thought they at least threw the money out
41:12
there and it made some of these games but interesting. But yeah, I
41:15
mean you pull up the Christmas games for the NFL Late Vegas at Kansas City,
41:19
New York at Philadelphia, and Baltimore San Francisco. Now, Baltimore San
41:22
Francisco is gonna be the most It's gonna be great. Now you would now

41:55
so which that sucks. And your wife took New Orleans and I will
42:00
took took took the one, and I needed New Orleans to lose that one

our shortest episode ever. We're doing forty five minutes. We are. So
43:15
we had a lot of quickness, and you know, we weren't ready and
43:19
by the way, I have to do uh, we were always ready.
43:22
I have to our guests. I think there wasn't ready. I have to
43:28
apologize for everything that I put out for the Saturday game that uh, the
43:31
diva to the left of me decided that he just wasn't ready and he didn't
43:37
do enough. Okay, So that was that was gonna be our play by
43:40
play game. So we're gonna reschedule that used. No, I didn't know,
43:45
and it was and I that was and that was the first time I
43:47
put up all the stuff on the social media. And so next time when
43:51
it comes out, I'll be ready. I had a unexpected things happen this
43:54
week, so well, it's definitely not delivering. I wanted to. I
43:59
wanted to be there. I wanted to be ready, and I wasn't.
44:01
So we're gonna do a play back game. We're gonna have fun with that.
44:05
That's just gonna be something we want some of our fans, if they
44:07
have, if they're watching the Game Bonus episode, to put us on there
44:09
and listen and see if there's any interest in anything that we do. Well,
44:14
there's other people that do. There's people that do so their their games,
44:16
Like there's a guy that does the Broncos. There's a guy that does
44:19
Packers. Yeah, they do the whole game. They'll they'll do the story.
44:23
Yeah, we wanted to pick a random game. So we'll pick another
44:25
one before the season's ending or the season ends, because we'll still have we're
44:30
what we got two weeks or three weeks left the NFL and then we've got
44:31
playoffs, so we'll kind of set up what we do for that. But
44:36
no, I think that. Uh. I think the NFL as we close
44:38
up a little bit, and I think the college right now. To me,
44:43
some of these bowl games are very boring, and I think, yeah,
44:45
no, US two. We would set and watch. I mean,
44:47
I'd be watching these things all night. Well, that's because the kids stayed
44:51
and the kids were all games, and that's the that's college football's problems.
44:53
The bulls had a meaning. The bulls meant something to the team. And
44:58
now what you now now college football playoff is start. The BC has killed
45:05
that. Killing the bowl well, I think that. I don't know.
45:07
I think that's when it started going down here, that's when it stopped mattering.
45:09
I don't know. I think immediate transfers what well, the portal also,
45:13
you know, killed it. So all right, ladies and gentlemen,
45:16
