  in rare form at Saints line up yesterday in a victory formation and then score
• 4:35
  a touchdown. We'll get into that as well. Joel lots as Jake,
• 4:41
  what made you a Michigan fan? I believe the game will be close to
• 4:43
  the fourth quarter Washington thirty four to twenty three. I'm not necessarily a Michigan
• 4:46
  fan, Joel. But we do the analytics, or I do my own
• 4:50
  analytics, and every year I come up with a champion. Some years I
• 4:53
  get it, some years I don't. I didn't get it last year.
• 4:56
  So I'm gonna ride with the teams that the analytics tell me to ride with.
• 5:00
  There'll be somebody totally different this year. I can tell you won't be
• 5:01
  Michigan. It may be that shirt you wear right there. I may,
• 5:05
  for the first time in a long time, ride with Alabama. I have
• 5:08
  no idea. It could be Georgia, it could be organ I don't know.
• 5:14
  I don't know. But you're runing. You got your Bama shirt on
• 5:16
  today? So is that a protest of sorts for tonight? No sec flavor?
• 5:23
  Yeah, I think so. You know the man up front, Ricky
• 5:28
  Jerry. I haven't talked to him today actually, and he's with me.
• 5:32
  By the way. I am excited because last week He told me he's not
• 5:36
  going to watch tonight. What yeah, so wait, I thought you were
• 5:41
  going to watch not going to watch this game? Who was Shane told me
• 5:44
  I gotta watch. So, I mean, I'll look at it a little
• 5:47
  bit. But you know, after eight pm, all bets are off.
• 5:53
  You're going to be watching some weird wrestling extravaganza from Japan or something. Yeah.
• 5:58
  Yeah, but you know this shirt. Okay, bound lost, but
• 6:02
  believers never die. You don't just stop wearing gear because someone loses. That's
• 6:09
  true. Although you will, you won't be wearing your Michigan hat after today.
• 6:13
  I mean, I may, I may, I may. Well,
• 6:15
  you'll probably wear it tomorrow. Could do it tomorrow. Hey, Florida State.
• 6:19
  By the way, we've got a text here from the name textor Dylan
• 6:21
  Johnson is gonna run all over Michigan. Why do I just ran on Michigan
• 6:27
  all year? Milrod did the best of anybody all year. What makes you
• 6:31
  think? I mean, Dylan Johnson is a good player. He's not even
• 6:36
  close to the best back in the ball game. It's Blake corem Now,
• 6:40
  Blake Corum will go for a buck twenty five tonight. Cash that check too.
• 6:45
  A Buck twenty five and two scores tonight for Blake Corram, Michigan running
• 6:48
  back. That's gonna happen. Florida State has been active in the transfer portal,
• 6:54
  adding Miami defensive back Devonte Brown, LSU wide receiver Jalen Brown, Colorado
• 6:59
  State defense of lyneman Grady Kelly, Alabama defensive back Earl Little, junior in
• 7:03
  Indiana running back Jalen Lucas. Also, Bill Belichick is still the head football
• 7:09
  coach as of this morning of the New England Football Patriots, but the Atlanta
• 7:13
  Falcons are a team to watch if Belichick is available. They are interested and
• 7:17
  have made that publicly known. So Brett McMurphy, as always gets out in
• 7:23
  front of this thing. He releases his way too early preseason top twenty five
• 7:28
  before tomorrow even gets here. I like this. So he has Georgia at
• 7:32
  number one for next year. I think Georgia is gonna get a lot of
• 7:38
  a lot of the love for number one for next year. I gonna go
• 7:42
  in and tell you the analytics are gonna love Georgia. I know that for
• 7:44
  a fact. They're gonna Why would you not like Georgia? They lost Alabama
• 7:47
  in the SEC title game. It was a four quarterball game. They return
• 7:51
  a lot of those guys. They return a quarterback that's going to be much
• 7:56
  better next year. They have recruited again the number one class in the country.
• 8:01
  It's a lot to like about Georgia. Number two Michigan. I can't
• 8:07
  again. I'm not gonna get on the Michigan bann agin. I can tell
• 8:09
  you that now. Harball, if he's back, that's gonna help a lot.
• 8:13
  I don't know that. Do we have any clue what he's gonna do
• 8:16
  after tonight. I just feel like he's gonna be the Chargers coach. I
• 8:24
  don't know that he wants to deal with all this anymore, the NCAA,
• 8:28
  the witch hunt that will continue after tonight, not that it bothers him.
• 8:33
  I think I think he just just like aggravated. It's like an ant bite
• 8:35
  on an ankle. McMurphy has Michigan at number two, Transfer rankings twenty fourth,
• 8:46
  Conference rankings six and the Big Ten recruiting rankings fifteenth. Jim Harball,
• 8:50
  Charon Moore, and Jesse Mentor number three Oregon. Oregan's gonna get a lot
• 8:54
  of love next year, A lot of love. They have some good quarterbacks
• 8:58
  coming out of the transfer portal. They have done a really good job recruiting.
• 9:01
  I mean they've Oregon's gonna be Oregon very well. Could be the favorite
• 9:05
  to win the Big Ten in their first year. Number four Alabama. See,
• 9:09
  I feel like Alabama should be number two on any preseason poll, just
• 9:13
  if we're just making preseason polls on the day of the National Championship game.
• 9:18
  They return a ton of guys. Mil Roch should be much better next year.
• 9:26
  I just I think Bama's gonna be right there. Number five Ohio State.
• 9:30
  I can't get behind this. Can't get behind ohos State. They've lost
• 9:33
  way too much. I think they'll be a you know, nine to ten
• 9:35
  win team next year, but can't get behind that. Brett Texas at number
• 9:39
  six, Yeah, I think Texas will be a top five, top six
• 9:43
  team next year. They return a lot of guys. Number seven Notre Dame,
• 9:46
  ton you, Notre Dame is going to steal one of those playoff spots
• 9:50
  next year. They're gonna steal one of those playoff spots. They went ten
• 9:52
  to three this year. They got a Bowl win against Oregon State and the
• 9:58
  Sun Bowl. They have brought in a high level quarterback in the transfer portal.
• 10:03
  Their transfer rankings is fifteenth Notre Dame, number seven, number eight for
• 10:07
  Brent mc murphy, Ole Miss again, Ole miss is going to live inside
• 10:11
  most top tens. Eleven win team, just beat Penn State in the Peach
• 10:16
  Bowl, and they've got a lot to look forward to. And number ten
• 10:18
  we'll get to the rest of his Missouri Missouri is going to be right there
• 10:22
  as well. All right, let's see here, White Denzel, when I
• 10:26
  hit the lottery jackpot, Beaver will get half of the winnings as long as
• 10:28
  he doesn't watch the game tonight. Well, there's you some motivation. And
• 10:35
  to seventy percent hardball ends up in the NFL thirty back at Michigan. I
• 10:39
  think that's probably fair. And one more note back to back f SA.
• 10:43
  Dakota State takes its twenty nine game winning streak to steal water and we'll open
• 10:46
  the season against Oklahoma State and former Alabama quarterback Eli Holstein is transferring to pitt

• 12:39
  astute commissioner of the College Football Playoff says the College Football Playoff is quote totally
• 12:46
  disappointed at accusations and vitriol from politicians in the state of Florida over Florida State
• 12:52
  snub, says quote it's ridiculous. Also, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee
• 12:58
  members receive profanity laced emails and quotes and calls, and some receive threats on
• 13:05
  their home family and more. Do you believe that I actually do sadly committee
• 13:11
  members? Yeah, yeah, of course, which is dumb. Yeah,
• 13:16
  because there's a there's too many wha could does when it comes to football,
• 13:20
  and I have no trouble believe in that. Let's see here. Also,
• 13:26
  the College Football Playoff Board today did not adopt and this is what's I don't
• 13:31
  know why they. I don't know why they sand back this. The board
• 13:35
  did not adopt a move to a five plus seven twelve team playoff format yet,
• 13:39
  but the College Football Playoff chair Mark Keenum says he'd be shocked if it's
• 13:46
  not eventually approved for twenty twenty four. What else are you gonna do?
• 13:50
  This is dumb that they don't do this. Five automatic qualifiers to highest ranked
• 13:56
  Champs seven at large to next ranked teams. Top four teams get a buye.
• 14:00
  We know about that. The commissioners approve the policy back in November to
• 14:05
  require leagues to encompass eight members to be eligible for an automatic qualifier, a
• 14:11
  policy the College Football Playoff Committee says that it doesn't need a board approval.
• 14:16
  The College Football Board accepted this change today. So what do I saying is
• 14:20
  the PAC twelve essentially, and by the way, the PAC twelve president Kirk
• 14:26
  Schultz asked the Board to delay the vote on the five plus seven format.
• 14:30
  Mark Keenam again expects the Board to adopt the five plus seven or the next
• 14:33
  two to three weeks. This is all gamesmanship because Schultz of the PAC twelve
• 14:41
  is asking for a delay. I guess in hopes that the PAC two is
• 14:45
  going to expand over the next few weeks because you gotta have eight teams.
• 14:48
  You gotta have eight. The PAC twelve doesn't have eight teams. You gotta
• 14:52
  have eight teams to be eligible in your conference for an automatic qualifier. And
• 14:56
  they're not given an automatic qualifier to the Mountain West plus plus two. They're
• 15:03
  just not. So this is all a formality at this point. This is
• 15:05
  grandstanding, this is gamesmanship and drama. This thing will pass unnamed texture.
• 15:13
  Hey, Jake, is Michael Pennis a mobile quarterback? So that Washington could
• 15:18
  make some design runs. I just don't see him surviving the Michigan pressure.
• 15:22
  If he can only throw he has made some run. He is not a
• 15:26
  mobile court I mean, he's not mobile quarterback. Jalen Milroe. We looked
• 15:31
  at this last week. If you go to Penix in the game tonight,
• 15:35
  I mean, he can get you a first down and he may have to
• 15:39
  do more than he wants to with his feet. Penix has thirty two carries
• 15:43
  for thirteen yards. You have to take an account some of those lack of
• 15:46
  yards or sacks counted into the overall stat line. Three touchdowns, and if
• 15:52
  you go to the game log rushing game log, let me go Pinis and
• 15:58
  look at his season. I mean his biggest game, five carries against Utah
• 16:07
  for minus fourteen yards. He was running for his life. He did have
• 16:11
  three carries for twenty No, he is not a guy that I mean,
• 16:14
  I guess Texas three carries for thirty one yards. He's not a guy that's
• 16:18
  gonna beat you with his feet, which is fine. He's an unbelievable passer
• 16:21
  if some say he's the most accurate deep ball passer of all time unnamed Texter
• 16:27
  Jake. I'm a diehard Falcons fan and was in attendance yesterday. Arthur had
• 16:33
  to go. Game plan was simple. When Saints were able to stop the
• 16:37
  run, it was a rap. If they go after Bill Belichick and we're
• 16:41
  not serious about winning, what has he done since Brady left Colby? That
• 16:45
  is Colby ps. Let's go get Jade and Daniels. Hey, look,
• 16:49
  yeah, Falcons looking for a new head football coach. We'll get into that.
• 16:52
  I've not gotten that far in the notes yet, but Falcons will be
• 16:56
  looking for a new head football coach. And I think Jayden Daniels is gonna
• 16:57
  be one of those guys you could go. I mean there's several quarterbacks from
• 17:02
  Jayden Daniels, Michael Pennix, you look at Caleb Williams, Drake May It's
• 17:07
  four or five guys that legitimately could go in the first round. And I
• 17:11
  think the Falcons will go get one of those guys. And I agree with
• 17:14
  you on Bill Belichick. I'm just not sure how much gas he has left
• 17:18
  in the Tank. Let's go to DJ DJ. Have you Monday, Hey,
• 17:21
  Jake, I just want to comment on a Pennick situation. You know,
• 17:23
  when he is in Indiana, he was a very very mobile quarterback and
• 17:29
  after two ACL tears, not that he can't run, he's learned that that's
• 17:33
  not his future. And the other thing you can't extrapolate. And I know
• 17:38
  you know this a lot of people that are texting the in you can't extrapolate
• 17:42
  missions pressure against Washington. And here's why mill Roe is a one read and
• 17:49
  done. Okay, mill Row looked like a deer in headlights. Panis gets
• 17:55
  rid of the ball so quick. He goes from read one to read too
• 18:00
  to read three so quick you're not going to see. And I'm not trying
• 18:04
  to bash Alabama, but did you watch the entire game? Milroe was running
• 18:10
  backwards twice? Yeah? Okay, that that I mean. That does not
• 18:15
  say that he's not a talented athlete. That just shows that he's not very
• 18:18
  polished as a quarterback. And Penti sees and you know, I don't think
• 18:25
  that he will run the ball, design runs very much, but he did
• 18:27
  against Texas the two or three times they needed to. But the thing Yes,
• 18:32
  his delivery is so quick, his reprogression is so quick. And the
• 18:38
  deep ball and you know, people laughed. I don't know if you remember
• 18:42
  when I commented how good he was when he's at Indiana, but I do
• 18:45
  remember a lot of the callers and text theirs jumped in when I was talking
• 18:51
  by the kids from Indiana. Yeah, right, he plays at Indiana in
• 18:53
  the big can. But he is special. I mean. And and the
• 18:57
  thing is, if and be honest, don't don't humor me, Caleb Williams
• 19:03
  or Pennix? Who would you take based on what you've seen added to character
• 19:07
  the whole? Shoot Max Penix. I can answer that quick. I would
• 19:11
  too. Yeah. And the thing is, I think he's a winner.
• 19:15
  I think he's a character guy. I think he's a guy that's going to
• 19:18
  come in and be a dressing room guy. And the thing is, if
• 19:23
  I'm drafting a quarterback, I just I hadn't seen anybody that did. Oh,
• 19:30
  let me just say this. You know, I'm an Ohio State guy,
• 19:33
  but Pennix is a much better player than c. J. Stroud was
• 19:37
  last year. I hang up on that one. Thanks, DJ No.
• 19:40
  I would tend to agree with you. I like Michael Pennick a lot,
• 19:41
  and he could end up being the number one pick as far as quarterbacks off
• 19:45
  the board. We got a long way to go to get to there.
• 19:47

• 20:55
  Washington is a five point dog tonight. The total is at fifty five and
• 21:00
  a half. I have not given the actual score that I think it'll be.
• 21:04
  I'll do that here in a bit. You know, when you look
• 21:07
  at I mean, Washington's averaging right around thirty eight points a game. They're
• 21:11
  given up twenty four game. Their lowest output was fifteen against Arizona State.
• 21:19
  They won fifteen to seven. And you know, these coaches, all of
• 21:22
  them on both sides, they're gonna break down every ballgame. Don't think they're
• 21:26
  not looking at that Arizona State game on the twenty first of October. That's
• 21:30
  a long time ago, and really kind of breaking that thing down on what
• 21:34
  they did. They also gave up twenty They got twenty four against Washington State
• 21:38
  and twenty two against Oregon State. They got back into the thirties against Oregon
• 21:45
  and Texas last week. And conversely, for Michigan, they're giving up ten
• 21:49
  points a game. Ten points a game. They gave up ten against Minnesota,
• 21:55
  thirteen against Perdue, fifteen against Penn State. They give up twenty four
• 21:59
  back to back against Maryland and Ohio State, and they get up twenty to
• 22:03
  Alabama. I think somewhere around twenty one twenty four is where Washington will live,
• 22:14
  maybe seventeen seventeen to twenty four, and a Michigan a team that scored
• 22:18
  right at thirty six. Their lowest point total output of the year was twenty
• 22:25
  four against Penn State twenty four. So you gotta ask yourself if Washington's defense
• 22:30
  as good as Penn State, It's probably not so. I mean, I
• 22:33
  think you're looking at somewhere, Baber, what do you think about thirty one
• 22:40
  seventeen Michigan double up the line. I like thirty one seventeen. Take that
• 22:51
  in turn it upside down. W Washington better yet, I'm gonna go thirty
• 22:59
  one to twenty Michigan. They'll break the twenty. Washington will, but Michigan
• 23:04
  gets probably a late fild goal in the fourth quarter and make a two score
• 23:07
  ball game, and Harbell's out six hour, one, eight five three,
• 23:11
  seven, seven six. Speaking of Michigan, ross Ellinger reports as Michigan ready
• 23:15
  for the national title, mini within the college sports industry are viewing the twenty
• 23:19
  twenty three College Football Playoff as a mockery, a sham, and an indictment
• 23:22
  on the NCAA slow moving enforcement process. Should there, should you m be
• 23:27
  here? There ought to be an asterisk on this, says somebody, Are
• 23:30
  we really going to go down that road? Then we're going to some will
• 23:33
  put an asterisk on this Michigan team. Oh yeah, really yeah yeah.
• 23:37
  And when the NCAA, if they're still round in a few years, when
• 23:45
  they finally get around to it, because you know, they take forever to
• 23:48
  do anything, it'll be official that this national title will be stripped. I
• 23:52
  think the asterisk will be shripped. Yeah, but there's already people put in
• 23:57
  the asterisk or ask for what for this? Connor Stallion's guy, We're really
• 24:03
  gonna penalize this team over something that everybody has done and continues to do.
• 24:08
  Yep, this is so petty. Really, it's not petty, it's the
• 24:17
  rules. Let's see. Ian Rappaport, the Saints and Danil Salin are expected
• 24:23
  to stay married. For next year. How do you feel about that?
• 24:26
  Saints fans? Oh, Saints fans, I'm sorry I bocked that out because
• 24:33
  I went red with rage. Well, how do you feel about it?
• 24:37
  And Jamis Winston? I love Jamis Winston. You know that yesterday was so
• 24:42
  glorious him and that reporter. Do you see that going back and forth?
• 24:45
  Yeah, that was so good. I love how jamieus has this thing that
• 24:52
  he does he tries to speak. I don't know if you noticed this,
• 24:57
  because he did it back when he was talking to when Drew Brees was leaving,
• 25:02
  and he did it in this in this exchange with the reporter yesterday.
• 25:07
  He tries to be so articulate. I mean with even I forget exactly what
• 25:11
  his what he said today, but I I mean you could just hear at
• 25:15
  the end he tries to be so articulate and so well spoken. Dude,
• 25:22
  I remember seeing you at the podium for the Heisman. You couldn't talk back.
• 25:27
  Then you are a you're you were a dummy, and now all of
• 25:32
  a sudden, fast forward all these years and you're acting like you're this well
• 25:36
  spoken scholar. Well here still an idiot. I'm gonna tag you. I
• 25:40
  don't know if we can play this or not. And you can play it
• 25:42
  and let the uh the listening audience. Are you still on X Yeah,
• 25:49
  I don't see you. Wait wait wait wait wait unless you blocked me.
• 25:52
  Have you already blocked me? Let's see you probably didn't up there you are,
• 25:57
  so I just tagged you at it. You can see I see if
• 26:00
  if it pulls up, it's going to take it a minute to load six
• 26:02
  R one eight, eight, five, three, seven, seven six.
• 26:03
  Let's see Bulldog West twenty four to seventeen, Big Blue Wins also a named
• 26:10
  tepester Textra Washington will do more than just than they have. They have the
• 26:14
  best offensive line in football. They just survive Chief Shooting Bawl twenty one seventeen
• 26:18
  Huskies. I'm going to give them a double asterisk compliments of you know who
• 26:23
  and unnamed texture Jake. I think you hit the score on the head thirty
• 26:26
  one seventeen or thirty one twenty one. I just don't see Penix surviving four
• 26:30
  quarters of Michigan's defense. I still would hate to see a Colt McCoy remake
• 26:36
  from the Bama Texas Championship game. No, I don't want to see that
• 26:38
  either No, let's don't do that. Let's let's don't do that. I
• 26:42
  want to see Penis stay healthy, and you know they may ask him or
• 26:47
  he may ask more of himself tonight with his feet since it is a national
• 26:49
  championship game. But you almost see anybody get hurt Louvier as a long as
• 26:55
  Pete Carmichael gets fired, Beaver can be the head coach of the Saints.
• 27:00
  What do you think about that? Bee? Yeah, I've heard. I
• 27:04
  hear that from Saints bro. He's of course he's been wishy washy whether he
• 27:10
  wants Alan or Carmichael. But I get that from who do you really want
• 27:18
  fired? I get that from the Saints fans? Who do you want?
• 27:22
  Would you rather Alan or Carmichael? So I've heard it both ways from two
• 27:26
  different Saints fans here now. So I don't know. I'd still just clean
• 27:32
  it all out, Yeah, I mean I would too. Did you get
• 27:36
  the Jamison Amy? How can you have okay, Dennis Allen by the dummy
• 27:41
  by dummy Winston yesterday taking that decision upon himself, although he says teammates decided
• 27:48
  it too, So you know what happened with that? They got in the
• 27:51
  huddle and Winston probably said, y'all want to score another one? Anybody probably
• 27:55
  said yep, yep, And there it was. How can you have that
• 27:57
  that it's undermining Alan? Therefore they clearly don't respect Alan. So can you
• 28:04
  really keep Alan? Because you're not gonna get rid of the players, because
• 28:07
  we're gonna side with the bitchy millionaires all the time, and you know,
• 28:11
  the schedules probably be harder next year anyway. Yeah, do you have the
• 28:15
  Winston audio? Well, remember last time Twitter betrayed us. So maybe we
• 28:18
  go to break and we'll see if it'll play properly. All right, let's

• 29:21
  go thirty minutes, National Championship and NFL playoffs. All right, here is
• 29:26
  Jameis Winston yesterday chalking it up with a reporter after the game who basically tried
• 29:32
  to guilt him into feeling sorry for what he did, which he indirectly didn't
• 29:37
  do anything other than the team And you'll hear it agreed on this. This
• 29:41
  is the astute, very very talented Jameis Winston on your radio. Well,
• 29:47
  I apologize to DA, yeah, because the play was victory, But I
• 29:52
  also explained to DA it was a team decision. Yeah, And I think
• 29:56
  when you have the team morale and I actually guys, I say, guys,
• 29:59
  what do you want to do? We know how much the moll means
• 30:00
  to this team and I understood from DA's perspective, So I give him that.
• 30:06
  But nope, okay, Twitter just didn't go work for us. Is
• 30:11
  it? What has Elon must done to the audio on Twitter? It's not
• 30:15
  any good? Not a good. But hey, Jameis Winston basically said,
• 30:18
  hey, look, they were just trying to get the guy in the end
• 30:19
  zone. They were trying to do him a favor. Do you buy this
• 30:25
  this reasoning here? No, No, I don't because he was talking about,
• 30:30
  oh, well, we just wanted to get it. You wanted to
• 30:33
  get it for Jamal Williams. So you know, we know how much we
• 30:34
  know much he's meant to this team. Really, he had think one hundred
• 30:41
  maybe just over one hundred carries, He had three hundred yards on the season.
• 30:44
  How much he's meant to the Saints. He hasn't meant a thing to
• 30:48
  the Saints. Now, age you'll play out here with playing with blood,
• 30:52
  sweat and tears. Okay, they're NFL players. I will give you that,
• 30:56
  But what is this you just felt for Jamal Williams? Now, remember,
• 31:03
  Jamal Williams is the same person who the last game of last season.
• 31:07
  He is that dude who was crying postgame. Do you remember this Jake where
• 31:14
  he's like, uh, you know, I lost my grandfather. He was
• 31:17
  talking about heart felt lost his grandfather. But this dude, in a split
• 31:22
  second went from real life, real talk I lost my grandfather to y'all know
• 31:29
  you stopped playing with us? I do talk. I forgot all about that.
• 31:33
  That was fantastic, almost like he was bipolar. Yeah, like what
• 31:37
  happened to this guy? I do remember that. That's the same Jamal Williams,
• 31:41
  right yep is Jamis back with the Saints next year. I don't know
• 31:45
  why he was there to begin with, never knew, but probably I would
• 31:52
  guess for some reason. Well, once you were a backup in the NFL,
• 31:56
  you know that that whole circle thing. Same with coaches. That's true.
• 32:00
  Hey, Ohio State got a visit this past weekend from quin Shawn Judkins.
• 32:05
  I'll get into that a little bit later. So Judkins visiting with the
• 32:07
  Ohio State Buckeyes. Let's see Ernest t on the cawbol Malowne's text line,
• 32:12
  Jameis Winston should be a stand up comedian. He's absolutely hilarious. Fire Carmichael
• 32:16
  now who dat? Yeah? I love Jameis Winston cut y'all know that Monkey's
• 32:22
  Riding Dogs was Pinnix in Indiana when Dubor was there. Du Bor's overall coaching
• 32:25
  record is very impressive, one four and eleven. Yeah, that goes back
• 32:30
  to the NAI days and I believe he was there when Pennis was at Indiana.
• 32:36
  And you know, we'll get into this an hour two. Washington is
• 32:38
  one went away from the other side of this thing, from breaking the mold
• 32:43
  of how we think champions are built. And you know, when you look
• 32:46
  at some of this, they don't meet the quote blue chip ratio. We've
• 32:51
  talked about the blue chip ratio. You know, you got to have so
• 32:52
  many five stars and a four year class. All that's changing recruiting rankings and
• 32:57
  the way you quantify recruiting rankings that's changing. Team talent composite is round number
• 33:02
  twenty six, and I've told you I always break it into three tiers.
• 33:06
  You have your national championship contenders, your playoff contenders, and then everybody else
• 33:09
  in Washington is in that playoff category. Talent wise, Michigan was just right
• 33:15
  there inside the championship talent number and top ten classes the last four years.
• 33:20
  Zero average CRETIT ranking forty one point seventy five. But here's where I feel
• 33:23
  like other people have always missed the boat on quantifying what teams can do is
• 33:28
  quarterback play. I've tried to always quantify quarterback play as its own thing.
• 33:35
  And for me, when I picked Washington, it was Pinnix. He was
• 33:38
  the best to meet in that league and the way they could throw and catch,
• 33:43
  and it married with a defense that was just good enough. And if
• 33:45
  you look at Washington this year, their defense has been just good enough.
• 33:50
  You go back and look at I mean some of their ball games. They
• 33:54
  does that help Washington tonight? If Washington is going to be in a very
• 33:59
  close ballgame, does that help them? They beat Arizona on the road by
• 34:02
  a touchdown thirty one, twenty four, Arizona State at home, fifteen to
• 34:07
  seven. They had a ten point victory on the road at Southern cal.
• 34:12
  They beat Utah by a touchdown thirty five twenty eight. They beat Oregon State
• 34:15
  on the road twenty two to twenty. They beat Washington State by three twenty
• 34:20
  four, twenty four to twenty one, a three point victory against Oregon,
• 34:23
  and then Texas by six. I would say for the psyche of the team.
• 34:28
  That definitely does help Washington if it goes into the fourth quarter and it's
• 34:30
  a one score game, because they're going to look at each other and go,
• 34:32
  here we go again, Here we go again. All right, let's
• 34:37
  see here, Chris Hummer, Washington could change everything we know about what it
• 34:42
  takes to win a national title. As he says, there are now two
• 34:45
  four seven, two four to seven sports Composite five stars on the Huskies roster.
• 34:51
  No top ten class. They don't meet the blue chip ratio. No,
• 34:53
  they don't meet the blue chip ratio. But Pennix is the difference.
• 35:00
  He's the difference. And if you go in and look, and we'll cover
• 35:01
  some more of this, you've got to have. If you don't have,
• 35:06
  look, a lot of people are trying to wash this thing now and say,
• 35:08
  well, the transfer portal is changing everything and talent and recruiting doesn't necessarily
• 35:14
  matter. It's being watered down. That is not true. If you take
• 35:19
  anybody in the top twenty five in recruiting and let's go over here and look
• 35:24
  at let me just pull this recruiting sheet from last year, three year A
• 35:31
  recruiting metrics on the hour glass. Teams around that recruit with Washington, Maryland,
• 35:42
  Baylor, Utah, believe it or not, Stanford, Oklahoma State,
• 35:46
  West Virginia, Michigan State, TCU, Wisconsin in South Carolina. The difference
• 35:55
  in those teams is Pinnix. If you can have a quarterback like Pennis,
• 36:00
  now you're just not gonna go grab a guy like Pinnis. They're not sitting
• 36:02
  on every corner and they're not hanging out at every high school or junior college
• 36:07
  or in the transfer portal. But if you can get a guy that's a
• 36:10
  high end guy, he will change your team, especially if you put guys
• 36:15
  around him. And you look at what Michigan has done to put around Pinnis,
• 36:20
  and believe it or not, we talked about it last week. Now
• 36:21
  we'll see what happens next year. What they're putting putting around Will Will Rogers
• 36:23
  next year, you got it and Debor understands it. They put a doonsa
• 36:30
  around him. He's pound for pound the best in the in the in the
• 36:34
  country outside of Marvin Harrison, Junior Polk McMillan. I mean, they got
• 36:37
  guys that can flat out play. And when you have three, four or
• 36:42
  five high end guys at wide receiver and high end quarterback in an offensive front
• 36:45
  that can block and do it pretty darn good. And then you throw in
• 36:50
  some running backs that can play like Dylan Johnson, You're gonna You're gonna win
• 36:52
  a lot of ball games. But again, I think tonight the difference is
• 36:55
  gonna be the front seven of Michigan. Washington is gonna have to play in
• 37:00
  front of the chains. Even Washington, as good as they are offensively,
• 37:05
  they cannot play it second and eleven third down and thirteen third down in ten.
• 37:08
  I mean they're gonna have to play in front of the chains. Six
• 37:12
  one, eight, eight, five, three, seven, seven six.
• 37:14
  That is the cawbal Malornial text one. We'll visit with Chris Landry in the
• 37:15
  next segment and talk about this. Judkins, let's see, you know.
• 37:20
  The University of Miami has made some moves over the weekend. They are in
• 37:25
  the running for to Leah Tagavaloa if the NCAA grants him a six year of
• 37:30
  eligibility. Also, the Canes picked up Albany transfer quarterback Reese Poffenbarger. It's
• 37:42
  a mouthful Poffenbarger. Poffenbarger has accounted for six six hundred and thirteen yards sixty
• 37:47
  eight touchdowns in the last two seasons at Albany University. Real quickly ap top
• 37:54

  More and Andy Staples has laid out already his college football national title contenders
• 38:21

• 40:20
  top ten. How underrated is he? Well, I mean, based on
• 40:22
  the NFL scouts, he's not underrated anymore. I mean, I get,
• 40:25
  I get where you're going there with Michael Pennix, but I don't think anybody's
• 40:30
  sleeping on Michael Pennocks and what he can do for a football program, especially
• 40:35
  even when you get into the you know, the league and the next you
• 40:37

• 40:59
  Brown's Techs, also Eagles Tampa Bay, the Lions hosting the Los Angeles
• 41:06
  Rams, and Green Bay Packers checking on the Dallas Football Cowboys. So you've
• 41:09
  got one, two, three, six great games coming up this weekend,
• 41:13
  stretching from Saturday through Monday. It'll be really really fun. As we move
• 41:19
  forward, the Ravens get to buy in the AFC and the forty nine ers
• 41:23
  get to buy in the NFC. So you know, those are the two
• 41:27
  teams everybody's following. Those are the two teams everybody's chasing. And the road
• 41:30
  to the Super Bowl runs through Baltimore and San Francisco. And our next guest,
• 41:35
  we will talk about that in the next thirty minutes. Chris Landry.
• 41:38
  Find him on Exit Landry Football Landry football dot com as the website. Chris,
• 41:43
  Happy New year, sir, Good to have you back on. How
• 41:45
  are you? A Happy New Year to you and all the listeners. I'm
• 41:47
  doing great, you know, excited my the NFL playoffs, the game tonight,
• 41:53
  great weekend of football, Chris. Let's talk about tonight before we do
• 41:58
  tonight, your thoughts on because we were off off the air, didn't get
• 42:00
  a chance to visit with you. We got two great games last weekend Michigan
• 42:05
  Alabama, Washington Texas and both games down to the wire. Your thoughts on
• 42:09
  those two ball games. And then of course as we turn into tonight,
• 42:13
  there's a lot of you know, back and forth on can Michael Pennocks and
• 42:15
  Washington, you know, put stress on Michigan. I personally think Michigan will
• 42:21
  be able to run the football tonight. I think their front seven is a
• 42:22
  difference. But I want to get your take on everything tonight. Yeah,
• 42:25
  I think, you know, very impressed first of all, with Michigan's performance
• 42:30
  over Alabama. You know, I guess I was a little bit perplexed in
• 42:35
  that. I after I saw Alabama dominate at the line of scrimmans against Georgia
• 42:40
  and saw another team that was not able to tackle Jalen Milrow, I wasn't
• 42:45
  convinced that Michigan was going to be able to do it. Great game plan,
• 42:49
  no question that Michigan out coached and out played and was more physical than
• 42:52
  Alabama. And I thought they they really well. The game certainly was not
• 42:59
  a blowout. I thought they man handled them when it mattered the most,
• 43:02
  and I thought key mistakes by Michigan kept the game closer than it probably should
• 43:07
  have been because Alabama really had no answer. You know, four snaps was
• 43:12
  a part of it. H You neutralize mill Roll as a runner, and
• 43:15
  you're not gonna be good enough. You're not going to have enough passing game.
• 43:17
  And in retrospect, I look at it and think, man, what
• 43:21
  a great job Alabama did getting this for without a passing game. Michigan was
• 43:25
  able to down the stretch when they needed to, was able to run the
• 43:30
  football and dominate the line of scrimmage on that last drive, last couple of
• 43:35
  drives. So very impressed by what they did defensively upfront, how they manhandled
• 43:39
  Alabama's offensive line. And then I thought they were able to move the football
• 43:44
  when they needed to against Alabama's defense and at times got Alabama misaligned with their
• 43:49
  pre Snapp alignment. So the really good job by Michigan, thought Washington in
• 43:53
  similar ways. I'll play Texas. I thought they were close to to winning
• 44:00
  that game, you know, maybe more decisively. Then they had the Mouff
• 44:04
  punt and then the game became in doubt and just had a little couple putting
• 44:09
  Texas away. But Pennix is so good. The receivers are so good.
• 44:16
  You know, you can show them down, but you can't stop them for
• 44:20
  four quarters. And I am just tickled about this game because everything about this
• 44:25
  is just complete opposite. You've got Michigan that wants to play one way at
• 44:30
  the line of scrimmage, be physical, you mention it. You're right,
• 44:35
  they want to run the football, take the air out. Believe they can
• 44:37
  run the football at at Washington. If they can do that successfully, they'll
• 44:42
  be successful in this game. But if Washington's able to get some early points
• 44:46
  and make Michigan play from behind, and the Michigan does not want to play
• 44:51
  a you know, shoot them out type of game, I don't think so
• 44:53
  everything about them is just how they approach it different. I know both coaches
• 45:00
  fairly well. They're completely different personalities. You couldn't get more difference in that.
• 45:05
  I thought about this this morning. I have no idea why I thought
• 45:07
  about this, because I don't think about these things. But you think about
• 45:10
  you DUB and YOUM, and you just turn a M upside down and it's
• 45:15
  the W and vice versa. I mean, everything about it is so different,
• 45:19
  and I think this makes it so tantalizing. And I hope the folks
• 45:22
  I know in the Deep South where we are, they're in withdrawals because she
• 45:27
  can't have a championship if there's not a Southern team in it. But if
• 45:30
  you like football and you just into the minutia of football like I am,
• 45:34
  I think this game could be a great matchup. I hope it's close,
• 45:37
  but it's kind of how I see the matchup and the strength and the weaknesses
• 45:40
  of both teams. Chris, and you're on your radio talking National Championship game
• 45:45
  Michigan Washington, just a few hours away from kickoff, and of course some
• 45:47
  Monday edition of the program. Find him on Exit Landry Football formerly Twitter,
• 45:52
  and of course check them out Landry football dot com. Chris, you said
• 45:53
  you hope it's close. I'm with you there. If there was going to
• 45:57
  be a one sided matchup, which way would it go? Oh? I
• 46:00
  think the one sided matchup would likely be that somehow Michigan makes mistakes, turns
• 46:07
  the football over Washington so explosive scores quickly, and all of a sudden,
• 46:12
  you turn around and before you know it, before you know, anything's really
• 46:15
  settled. As you know, you got a twenty nothing lead, and then
• 46:19
  you got Michigan. Well, if it's early, Michigan's not going to get
• 46:22
  away from the running game. But if you get into like so, it
• 46:27
  won't be a blowout from the get from the jump. But if we get
• 46:30
  into the fourth quarter and somebody's down seven, if Michigan's down seventeen, you
• 46:35
  know, and they got to start to throw it more, I think that
• 46:37
  that's not a good formula. So I think that Washington would have a better
• 46:42
  chance to explode and win. I think if Washington's down seventeen, they can
• 46:46
  score quickly, So, you know, I think that Washington would be would
• 46:52
  be more likely to be able to win it decisively in terms of points.
• 46:59
  But certainly miss Chi is capable of being the more physical team and maybe controling
• 47:02
  this game. As I mentioned, I thought they were basically, you know,
• 47:07
  I don't know if i'd use the word dominant, but very close to
• 47:09
  dominant against Alabama. Yet the darn thing went overtime. I mean, they
• 47:14
  almost lost it with the tough punt at the end. I mean, they
• 47:16
  just there are a lot of things that I'm a believer of this. It's
• 47:22
  it's not the big plays that you make in a game like this. It's
• 47:27
  the the the reducing the amount of mistakes. The teams that make the least
• 47:31
  amount of mistakes, you know, usually wins games like this. It's not
• 47:36
  the plays that you make, it's the place you don't make. And I
• 47:38
  think it's you. You you know, it's not how good you are win
• 47:42
  at your best. Some good your win at your worst. So who can
• 47:45
  play left hand at the best and manage to hang in there. That's that's
• 47:49
  how I see these games usually playing out. No, I would agree with
• 47:52
  you one hundred percent. And you look back at the Alabama football game.
• 47:54
  I mean, JJ McCarthy got lucky, I mean on the first play of
• 47:59
  the game because defender was out of bounds just a little bit and then came
• 48:01
  back in and picked it off of me. We're talking about inches on the
• 48:05
  white line, the muff punt in the you know. After that, and
• 48:07
  then of course in the fourth quarter, Michigan played, you know, sloppy
• 48:10
  at a lot of times, where Washington, you know, has not.
• 48:14
  They've been in a lot of close ballgames. I mean, you look at
• 48:16
  some of those wins that they have. So I don't know that the fourth
• 48:20
  quarter type ballgame is gonna affect Washington as much, you know, but look
• 48:23
  at this, who do you who do you like to win the ball game
• 48:25
  tonight? You know, I've gone back and forth, and I don't feel
• 48:30
  real comfortable. But I thought Alabama would would beat Michigan. The heck I
• 48:32
  thought Georgia would beat Alabama. So I don't know that anybody should pay attention
• 48:37
  to what I think. I mean something what I do think is a little
• 48:42
  different. Is how they played against Alabama was impressive. But you're not gonna
• 48:46
  hold Washington down offensively. They'll they'll get some point. They will score,
• 48:53
  and they'll score if they got nine possessions or twelve, I mean, they'll
• 48:57
  score. I think Michigan will score too. I don't know, and I'm
• 49:00
  not a big way. You know, it's just michiganj and it's their destiny.
• 49:05
  It's this. I'm really truly not sure which way to go. I
• 49:09
  guess if you pind me down, I just I might give an edge to
• 49:15
  Washington and I think we went over kind of the keys. But but I
• 49:20
  maybe go a little bit there. But man, I think this is this
• 49:22
  is gonna be could go either way, Chris. A lot of chatter about
• 49:29
  the team talent between Michigan and Washington versus other years. You know, when
• 49:34
  you look at recruiting rankings and you know, five star, this five star
• 49:37
  that Washington doesn't fit the typical profile of a championship team, Michigan right there
• 49:42
  on the outside of a Georgia of an Alabama and a lot of people saying,
• 49:46
  hey, is this an outlier year or is this you know, due
• 49:50
  to the transfer portal where we see more of Washington esque teams next year.
• 49:54
  What is your thought on that, because I think it may be somewhat of
• 49:58
  an outlier. I mean, you look at We're just coming back next year
• 50:00
  with all the talent that they have, and their quarterbacks is going to be
• 50:04
  you know, a year older. Bama brings back most everybody. They'll have
• 50:07
  to replace some guys in the secondary that's off to the National Football League Milrose,
• 50:10
  a year older Texas. You look at some other teams as well.
• 50:14
  What is your thoughts on these two teams kind of being outliers this year and
• 50:17
  what does that mean for the future. Well, here here's what I think
• 50:22
  for is the era that we're in now, so much focus is on with
• 50:29
  the transfer portal and recruiting. Who they sign this and that and ranked number
• 50:36
  one and then they're this, they're top five class. It doesn't matter who
• 50:40
  you sign, it's who you keep. If you sign a number one class
• 50:45
  or a five class or top five class, whatever, do you develop them,
• 50:51
  do they stay in your program? If they leave, do you replace
• 50:53
  them atically? Can you get those new trend for portal guys acclimated? I
• 50:58
  mean, because what happening today is it's difficult for the elite programs of Georgia's
• 51:06
  the Alabamas to have quality backups like they used to. You telling me an
• 51:14
  Alabama team that can't snap the ball, I mean, are you kidding me
• 51:20
  that they don't have a center. And trust me, if they had one
• 51:22
  that was better, that could snap better and block, it'd have been playing
• 51:27
  by week four or five. That's a depth issue that those teams have never
• 51:32
  had to face. And with nil and transfer portal, I think what we're
• 51:37
  seeing is who can keep their guys. Now you're looking at Washington and people
• 51:40
  will say, well, they're not right. There's nobody that's a quarterback like
• 51:46
  the Nobody has a quarterback like that. I mean, they got guys in
• 51:51
  the NFL don't have a quarterback like that. And they've got three receivers that
• 51:53
  are NFL guides, They've got tackles that are NFL pass protectives. They're pretty
• 52:01
  talented. They may not be ranked, you know, like in the top
• 52:06
  five. But you know how that works too, is these rankings have a
• 52:10
  lot to do with who's recruiting them a kid. Because the websites, they
• 52:16
  don't evaluate players. They gather information. So you've got a player out there,
• 52:21
  and I don't know if people are aware of this how this works.
• 52:23
  They do this a lot. A If you got more subscribers that are Alabama
• 52:29
  or Georgia subscribers, it's gonna be more toned to that as opposed to maybe
• 52:35
  nondescript programs. So you don't have as many subscribers that Washington or whatever,
• 52:42
  then maybe you don't get ranked as high. It's reality. The other thing
• 52:45
  is that there's an assumption. You got a kid that's a three star kid,
• 52:51
  and Alabama starts recruiting them, and then Georgia and then Ohio State,
• 52:54
  that kid's gonna go to a high four store or five, you know,
• 52:58
  very quickly. So I think there's a lot of perception. And then do
• 53:00
  they go there and how are they developed? I think that Washington's very talented.
• 53:07
  And with Michigan, you know, if they remind me of they remind
• 53:09
  me of that team that stays together for two three years and develop as a
• 53:16
  team. They may not be a collection of the best players in the country,
• 53:22
  but you look at that they got. They go nine deep on the
• 53:25
  defensive line, and they're not guys that are gonna be picked in the top
• 53:30
  ten most of them before their physical They're quick, they got a tremendous motor.
• 53:35
  The linebackers and the defensive line works stunts and twists very well. The
• 53:40
  secondary keeps eyes on defenders. I think he can beat their secondary deep with
• 53:45
  elite guys, and we're going to see if they do it tonight against these
• 53:47
  great receivers. Against them, but they are they're well coached, they're fundamental,
• 53:52
  they're tough, they're physical, and the same way on the offensive line.
• 53:57
  I mean, I just think that you've got two teams that have been
• 54:00
  developed very well, that do have great talent, and quite frankly, when
• 54:05
  I look at it, I mean, now I know stars and whatnot.
• 54:08
  You know, Alabama's got more, but you know, I mean, Jalen
• 54:13
  milro as a passer, you've become that one dimension. You got issues.
• 54:17
  I think Texas is very good, and I thought there was good as complete
• 54:22
  as anybody in the four teams and so but they, you know, Washington
• 54:28
  was just a little bit better and was a little bit more explosive. So
• 54:31
  I don't know, I think we could be seeing a little bit of a
• 54:35
  change because where is the depth going to be. So to me, it's
• 54:39
  not just where they're ranked on signing day, but where where would we rank
• 54:44
  that class three years from now? Because where are those players, how have
• 54:49
  they been developed, and where are they It's as simple as that as I
• 54:52
  see it. Chris Landry. Landry Football dot com is the website Landry Football

• 55:54
  Chris, we pivot to the NFL playoffs. Before I get to the
• 55:57
  playoffs, the Saints look like they're gonna bring back then Salin. Should Saint
• 56:00
  Fans be excited about this? Is this an eye roll? Can this franchise
• 56:07
  take that next step under this? You know? Current coaching staff. I
• 56:12
  think it's going to be tough. They've got to make some changes on the
• 56:15
  offensive staff. That's what they're going to try to roll out and see what
• 56:20
  they can do. I think that they need to take you know, I
• 56:23
  think Gail Benson has to take a hard look because obviously I think this is
• 56:28
  the direction she's going to go now. I think she's got to take a
• 56:31
  hard look at everything from Mickey Loomis down. I think they've made some very
• 56:37
  questionable decisions. But yet that's a roster that I think was the best in
• 56:42
  the division and consistently underachieved. So no, I'm not confident that Dennis Allen
• 56:46
  is going to fix it, you know, mainly because I don't think his
• 56:50
  defense has been consistent and the offense has been a disaster, So uh,
• 56:54
  them putting the right pieces together, No, I'm not really excited. And
• 56:58
  I can't convince the Saint fan and to be excited about it when they underachieve
• 57:01
  so greatly in the first two years of his tenure, and I realized a
• 57:06
  bunch of injuries in that first year. Chris. When you look at the
• 57:09
  NFL playoffs coming up this weekend, obviously Baltimore with the buye in the AFC,
• 57:15
  and then you look at San Francisco with the buye in the NFC Super
• 57:17
  wild Card weekend. You know, Steelers at the Bills, Dolphins, Chiefs
• 57:22
  should be a really good one. I want to come back to that here
• 57:24
  in just a second, Chiefs or Browns, Texans, and then on the
• 57:28
  other side of the bracket Cowboys, Packers, Lions and the Rams, and
• 57:32
  then Tampa Bay and the Eagles, which one of these teams can challenge on
• 57:37
  each side, the two that are kind of in the clubhouse, so to
• 57:40
  speak. I go straight to the Dolphins Chiefs game. The Dolphins every time
• 57:45
  I think that they've made that step, they have not. They've got some
• 57:47
  injuries. The Chiefs have been lethargic. Could one of those teams in the
• 57:51
  AFC. Are you looking at Buffalo or another team? Yeah, I don't.
• 57:57
  I'm not sure that I think Buffalo's a little dan. I don't know
• 58:00
  that there anybody's gonna go and then beat Baltimore. I don't think Kansas City
• 58:05
  will do it. Don't think Buffalo will do it. I don't think the
• 58:07
  winner of Cleveland and Houston will do it. I'm concerned about Kansas City's offense,
• 58:14
  and their defense is good. Miami, as you mentioned, they are
• 58:17
  completely banged up, and what a what a what a stretch of a disaster
• 58:22
  it's been for them. I mean, they have not only had all the
• 58:25
  injuries, but they go from basically last night, if they would have won,
• 58:30
  that have been the number two seat playing in sixty eight to seventy degree
• 58:36
  south beach weather next week I'm hearing, and I know the weather forecast is
• 58:40
  for us, not Hector. They're expecting Saturday night the game time attempt to
• 58:46
  to be around two to five degrees older than Buffalo. Now maybe it warms
• 58:52
  up to twenty. That would be you know, like charts and T shirt
• 58:55
  weather by comparison, that's just that's an awful fit from Miami. So I
• 59:00
  just I don't like them, and I don't think Kansas City despite their experience
• 59:04
  and their defense playing so well. Don't like their chances. So I don't
• 59:07
  know that I can make a strong case for somebody going in and beat beating
• 59:10
  Baltimore. But I would say Buffalo with Josh Allen gives them a chance.
• 59:15
  In the NFC. I'm really excited about the Rams and the Lions in particular.
• 59:20
  I'm going forward to all six games, but that winner could be interesting,
• 59:23
  particularly you know, you got the angle with Stafford going back home to
• 59:28
  Detroit, but you know that's going to be interesting because I think San Francisco
• 59:32
  clearly the team to beat. You can run the football on Dallas and that's
• 59:37
  you know, I think they should handle Green Bay. But Detroit's one of
• 59:40
  those tough, gritty teams that we saw Dallas Detroit so recently in the controversy
• 59:46
  ending. I think maybe Detroit and Dallas have a shot against against San Francisco,
• 59:54
  but I certainly would make them the strong favorite. I think the biggest
• 59:58
  story though, is the collapse of the Eagles. I mean that Eagles Bucks
• 1:00:00
  game next Monday night. I mean I don't give either winner of that game
• 1:00:07
  a chance at all of advancing beyond that win that game let's finish it up
• 1:00:13
  with Bill Belichick. Do you anticipate the Patriots keeping him around? Obviously it's
• 1:00:17
  it's Black Monday today. Do they stay with him one more year? Which
• 1:00:22
  direction do they go? Well, you know, obviously I go back with
• 1:00:27
  Phil a long ways, and I you know, it's kind of when somebody's
• 1:00:32
  done so much for my career, it's hard. I don't Obviously I'm not
• 1:00:37
  privy to their private conversations. I mean, here's despite the fact that everybody
• 1:00:43
  says it's done and it's over, and I think it probably is. But
• 1:00:45
  I think my experiences Dike is the way you handle those situations is you sit
• 1:00:52
  down and you meet and it's not gonna be over. If it's a twenty
• 1:00:54
  thirty minute meeting and that's all you got, then they already made their decision.
• 1:00:58
  I think what they have to side is Jill one year left on the
• 1:01:01
  deal. How do you fix it? You're talking about a guy that built
• 1:01:07
  this organization, won six Super Bowls, He's fourteen games away from breaking tying
• 1:01:13
  down Shudele's record all time wins. Can you get somebody better? Do you
• 1:01:16
  really want to make that change? To me? I think you have to
• 1:01:22
  In my view, if I were the Craft family, I would say,
• 1:01:27
  what is your plan to fix this and to make the changes on offense?
• 1:01:30
  And what do we need to do my personnel department all of those things,
• 1:01:34
  And if you don't get the right answer and you can't agree upon it,
• 1:01:37
  then you're part ways. But I think you got to be really careful if
• 1:01:40
  you're New England, because not because he's owed anything, but this guy has,
• 1:01:46
  this guy's got it's got a great defense, and he's missed at the
• 1:01:50
  quarterback position, no question. And I think Bill made the mistake of he
• 1:01:53
  coached Mac Jones like he coached Tom Brady and it hadn't worked, and it's
• 1:02:00
  it's just been a disaster. And I think the key guy in this is
• 1:02:04
  Jonathan Craft. I think if it was just Robert, I think that it
• 1:02:07
  would be one more year, and maybe it still might be, but I
• 1:02:12
  think his son, Jonathan Kraft wants to push the reset button, kind of
• 1:02:17
  do his own thing, and it just may be time for them to part
• 1:02:21
  ways. It'll be interesting and I'm sure after enough meeting time they'll they'll figure
• 1:02:25
  it out. But I don't have no insight, even though I know him
• 1:02:30
  well he's not gonna call me and say, yeah, here's what's going on.

  the Cowboy molowneyes text line, Michigan is going to make Michael Pennix look like
• 1:04:23
  Michael blue Blay. What do you think about that? All right, let's
• 1:04:27
  see here. Other notes that are out there is this is Derrick Henry done
• 1:04:35
  in Tennessee. I think Derrick Henry is done in Tennessee, and I think
• 1:04:39
  the official rebuild there for the Titans is underway. Also again with the playoffs
• 1:04:45
  coming up, this weekend, wild Card Weekend happens this weekend Super Wildcard Weekend.
• 1:04:51
  It should be a great, great weekend of NFL football, Steelers Bills.
• 1:04:59
  If you know, if you're a Steelers fan, can you go in
• 1:05:01
  there and win. Miami taking on Kansas City. I do not feel good
• 1:05:04
  about that, especially with Chris saying it's supposed to be like two degrees,
• 1:05:08
  twenty degrees or whatever it is. Dolphins will likely cave up at that point
• 1:05:13
  and be done. The Browns, Texans, I don't know that any one
• 1:05:16
  of those are formidab opponent against Baltimore. I really looks like a kind of
• 1:05:21
  a cake walk from Baltimore to the super Bowl. We'll see. And then
• 1:05:26
  of course on the other side some intriguing matchups as well. Let's go to
• 1:05:30
  Husky Matt. Husky Matt on your radio, Matt, welcome in. Well
• 1:05:35
  there went that Husky Matt. That was pretty quick. I Washington plays a
• 1:05:40
  little longer than Husky Matt was on the radio six hour one eight nine seven
• 1:05:44
  one zero five nine. As you move along today, all right, So
• 1:05:47
  when you look at the history of the National Championship Game and you look at
• 1:05:53
  the the h where did that stat sheet go? I am looking there.
• 1:06:00
  It is right there. So we look at the uh. Well, first
• 1:06:02
  let's go back to Husky Matt, Matt, welcome in. How are you,
• 1:06:06
  Jake? I'll take five all day long and the over over. If
• 1:06:11
  you're going to try to play man against my man, you're in trouble,
• 1:06:15
  That's all I'm saying. Well, who's your man? Pennis? Okay,
• 1:06:21
  the hell do you think I'm talking about? They stopped hanging up on me
• 1:06:24
  every time I call. I mean, good, the thing over there?
• 1:06:29
  I figured that was you hanging up on us. So I guess you're gonna
• 1:06:32
  take Michigan minus five. Well, yeah, I've been riding with Michigan since
• 1:06:36
  last year. You just think Michigan is just gonna line up and run run
• 1:06:41
  on them? Yeah, I do think. I think they're gonna slow it
• 1:06:43
  down. They're gonna be able to run the football. I think Blake Corn
• 1:06:45
  has a big night. Pennis is not a Alabama's quarterback. He can,
• 1:06:53
  actually he can. He can, he knows what to do with football.
• 1:06:56
  I'm I'm hoping to God we get a good game because I can't handle like
• 1:07:00
  we had last year. I think I think Washington has a shot if their
• 1:07:04
  receivers can get open. I think that, Uh, I think Pennis could.
• 1:07:10
  Uh. I think I think Washington they if Washington gets up, it's
• 1:07:14
  gonna it could be a long night for Michigan. But like you said,
• 1:07:17
  if Michigan slows it down and just leans on him and Pennis can't really move
• 1:07:23
  the ball, then I guess you're gonna have to take Michigan. Hey,
• 1:07:25
  look looks like the uh ole miss running backs actually uh flirting with Florida a
• 1:07:30
  little bit. I have heard this, really, yes I have. But
• 1:07:35
  I also heard he was a cancer in the locker room, so I don't
• 1:07:38
  know if Florida really needs him or not. Uh, that's not the reason
• 1:07:41
  I called Jay Beaver. Have you guys checked out bo Jangles? I have
• 1:07:46
  not yet. I think Beab you did, didn't you? Yeah? Beaver?
• 1:07:49
  Was he rated it very even modest? What? I don't know?
• 1:07:55
  Holy hell. First of all, I think when you get above the age
• 1:07:59
  of ten, there's two things you need to stop doing. Stop wearing jerseys
• 1:08:03
  and stop eating chicken fingers. But I will say bo Jingles is pretty damn
• 1:08:10
  good. So listen. Whenever Tammy's contract runs up, Jake, I would
• 1:08:14
  suggest go ahead and line up something with bo Jings. I'll call you to
• 1:08:20
  glow. See it very good? See you? I don't know bo Jangles
• 1:08:26
  Tammy Rose. It seems like opposite into the world. Right, Maybe I'm
• 1:08:30
  missing something here. Let's see three Hump Camel Jake. I don't think the
• 1:08:33
  Browns are a cakewalk for anyone. Well, Bieber, do you think the
• 1:08:36
  Browns could give if they get to next week? Could they give the Ravens
• 1:08:41
  a shot? I know Ravens are a whole nother story this year. This
• 1:08:49
  Ravens team, it's something. Yeah, they're on a different different level than
• 1:08:54
  we've seen them. And Lamar Jackson, for all the people who doubted him,
• 1:08:59
  I'm raising my hand over and I say doubt him. Not that he's
• 1:09:00
  a good player. That well, he's still got to get it done in
• 1:09:02
  the playoffs though hasn't been able to do it yet. I mean, we
• 1:09:06
  don't know. We could wake up and see in a fourth quarter next week
• 1:09:11
  against the Browns that could be in a dogfight, no pun intended could happen.
• 1:09:15
  Unnamed Texas Bojangles is overrated. I have not tried this Bojangles place yet.
• 1:09:21
  We're gonna have to do this turn ferguson Bojangles reminds me of Church's Chicken.
• 1:09:27
  I like Church's chicken. But that that's what it tastes like. Monkey's
• 1:09:30
  riding dogs. What was Texas's running numbers against Washington last week? Just curious.
• 1:09:35
  Let me go over here to stat deck and pull that. So if
• 1:09:38
  we look at Texas, we'll go back over here and work backwards. Texas,
• 1:09:44
  Texas, Texas. There's Texas, not Oregon, Texas, and we
• 1:09:49
  look at Texas rushing the football game logs in the run offense one hundred and
• 1:09:59
  two yards. One hundred and two yards for the Texas Longhorns. Now this
• 1:10:02
  is a team that you know, they were not overly powerful in the run
• 1:10:08
  game. They had twenty seven yards Week one. This is Texas against Rice,
• 1:10:12
  one hundred and seven against Alabama, one hundred and fifty five against Walloming.
• 1:10:15
  Their biggest day was against Oklahoma two hundred one yards. But over the
• 1:10:19
  last month of the season in November, they went for thirty against Kansas State,
• 1:10:24
  eighty eight against TCU, nine against Iowa State, one hundred and ten
• 1:10:29
  against Texas Tech, Oklahoma State thirty one, and then one hundred and two
• 1:10:33
  against Washington. Conversely, when you look at Michigan and you look at their
• 1:10:38
  rushing output for the year, the Wolverines have rushed for twenty two hundred yards.
• 1:10:44
  That's obviously led by Blake Corma to one hundred and eleven and twenty five
• 1:10:47
  touchdowns and their biggest out. But you know, Michigan has it. They've
• 1:10:54
  been pretty balanced. I mean they've had won sixty four against Penn State on
• 1:10:58
  the ground, they had at one hundred and seven against Ohio State, one
• 1:11:01
  seventy two against Alabama, their averaging right around three yards per clip. The
• 1:11:09
  real unnamed Texter also seeing north winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour with
• 1:11:14
  gust of up to thirty and snow showers in Kansas City Saturday. Not good
• 1:11:17
  weather for the Dolphins. No, you take the under in that ballgame.
• 1:11:20
  Just go ahead and take the under and don't worry about the rest. Real
• 1:11:24
  Sea Collins the quote, but that's not why call take is that radio show
• 1:11:30

  Michigan and Washington. Let's see real ce Comms was talking about he got
• 1:13:23
  tangled up there in a speak to text that can happen tonight? Can we
• 1:13:29
  honestly accept either of these tonight that are playing for the national championship? What
• 1:13:33
  do you think? Well? SEC fans aren't gonna accept this, are they?
• 1:13:39
  Michigan's a fraud, Washington is a Cinderella? Is that the way do
• 1:13:44
  you accept it? I mean you almost have to accept it, right,
• 1:13:46
  I mean, what are you gonna do not accept it? What do you
• 1:13:47
  go to crown somebody else? Crown Georgia? Aikes? Ike, you might
• 1:13:54
  as well because Michigan wins tonight and this championship is gonna be vacated in three
• 1:14:00
  years, Like I said, anyway, so Georgia would be better. But
• 1:14:03
  I accept it. It's what we've been dealt. It's pretty loose, but
• 1:14:10
  it's what we have. Do you expect to get similar numbers and I have
• 1:14:14
  to go pull them for TV like it's gonna be a highly anticipated matchup.
• 1:14:18
  Or now, I'll tell you this, if for some reason, one way
• 1:14:20
  or the other, this thing turns lopsided, katta hoope not all I TCU
• 1:14:26
  Georgia. Everybody's checking out of this thing. Sure right, they're done.
• 1:14:30
  Do you expect though, if it's a good game, the numbers will be
• 1:14:32
  high. It'd better be because your guy Jim Harborough. Remember he said Michigan's
• 1:14:41
  America's team. He did say that, So if it's America's team, then
• 1:14:45
  I would assume America is going to be watching Jim coast to coast, top
• 1:14:50
  to bottom, inside out right everybody. But you're not. No, you're
• 1:14:56
  not watching one play of this game. Nope. I can't Denzil's He's made
• 1:15:01
  me an offer. So when will you check in to get the results of
• 1:15:06
  this game? Tomorrow? My goal will be not to know the score until
• 1:15:15
  tomorrow morning. Really, I am yes, So you're not gonna like wake
• 1:15:21
  up maybe at four am, have to go to the bathroom and be like,
• 1:15:25
  I'm gonna just check in and see who won this ball game. No,
• 1:15:28
  because once again I feel like you really want me to watch this and
• 1:15:30
  as typical, when you want, when you specifically want me to do something
• 1:15:36
  I don't want to. So I could get you with this rationale to stop
• 1:15:42
  watching the forty nine ers. If you really want me to stop watching the
• 1:15:45
  forty nine No, that's it. No, I can't go with that.
• 1:15:48
  I wouldn't do that to you. That's your team, It's got it.
• 1:15:51
  It has limitations. Dog Tied Florence. I worked in the heart of Bojang
• 1:16:00
  country. The chicken is pretty good, maybe a little overcooked and heavy on
• 1:16:04
  the black pepper. Seven and a half out of ten, Bieber, did
• 1:16:09
  you ever give bud Jangles a rating? Dog Twern gives us a seven and
• 1:16:11
  a half out of ten. No, I'm wait. Remember I told you
• 1:16:14
  I'm going to give it another shot. I gave it that one chance and
• 1:16:16
  I was not impressed. Thought it was very, very mediocre. But I
• 1:16:23
  had him willing to give it another chance. And I'm going to the real
• 1:16:27
  unnamed Texter Michigan by Fiddy as he's got a picture here for me and Blake
• 1:16:32
  korm is ready for the rodeo. Blake Korum at the stadium shows up in
• 1:16:36
  a T shirt with some bling a big belt buckle and a cowboy hat.
• 1:16:44
  Say he's ready and the game is in Texas. Griz Jake. I realized
• 1:16:47
  there's a tiny football game tonight. But how about that pillow fight on the
• 1:16:51
  hardwood in Knoxville last week? Thought the Revs might have something for my balls.
• 1:16:57
  The way some around here we're talking, I like the reference of a
• 1:17:00
  pillow fight. Yeah. SEC basketball standings after the week ends. South Carolina,
• 1:17:06
  Auburn, Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama all get a win.
• 1:17:12
  They're one to zero and lsu Ole, miss State, Florida, Arkansas,
• 1:17:16
  Texas, A and M Missouri and Vanderbilt with a loss. So that
• 1:17:20
  makes these midweek games coming up tomorrow extremely important. Are we off early for
• 1:17:26
  basketball tomorrow? I haven't yeah yet. We sure are. Five thirty okay,
• 1:17:33
  five thirty off tomorrow Missippi State basketball. CWR Jake is going to be
• 1:17:38
  insufferable if Michigan wins. Wait, I thought that was Wednesday. By the
• 1:17:43
  way, it may be Wednesday. We'll have to look at it and see.
• 1:17:45
  I'm not gonna be insufferable. I'm just going to talk about it a
• 1:17:50
  lot, right, No, you're gonna You're gonna give another you know,
• 1:17:57
  six minute. I'm not dissertation about how you were right, No, because
• 1:18:01
  that makes you extremely irritable and mad. And I don't like you when you're
• 1:18:04
  extremely irrible. I like you be positive, beaf unless you're getting after Dion
• 1:18:09
  Sanders or something real. Sea Collins. Bojangles is a six point twenty five,
• 1:18:15
  so he puts it just over fifty percent, a little less than a
• 1:18:18
  dog tired mister d X bo Jangles less than zero. Wow, he just
• 1:18:25
  came in in a negative number. Matten Forrest the best chicken strip she'll eat,
• 1:18:30
  or at the short Stop gas station in Raleigh. Trust me, I'm
• 1:18:35
  telling you man, there are some unmarked food places like that. I know
• 1:18:41
  some of you would never go in there and grab chicken. I would.
• 1:18:44
  Would you you were down in Raleigh? Would you go to the Shortstop gas
• 1:18:46
  station? Yes? Yes, I would. I know it's I know it's
• 1:18:50
  not unmarked. It's famous around here, but I still have never been to
• 1:18:56
  that. What's the place in the Lorman? Oh yeah, you're just talking
• 1:18:58
  about the old Country Store. Yeah, they're chicken best I've had years ago.
• 1:19:05
  If I ever get on this chicken tour, that's never gotten off the
• 1:19:09
  ground that hopefully will one day we'll have to go back down there, citybr
• 1:19:13
  Can you talk about it without saying I told you so? Absolutely? Absolutely.
• 1:19:17
  Let's see unnamed text or Bojangles four out of ten when you have Popeyes,
• 1:19:21
  don't waste your time Bojangles, it's not getting a lot of positive ratings
• 1:19:26
  on the text line. Bulldog Blitz isn't Bojangles the one that was in Startville
• 1:19:32
  over by the Lodge. I had it once and it was pissed poor.
• 1:19:36
  I'm trying to think what year was that was there Bojangles by the Lodge.
• 1:19:41
  Maybe it was handy Man. Raleigh is pretty good. So we got another
• 1:19:45
  vote for Raleigh in the gas station chicken. So are you telling me in
• 1:19:49
  this small sample size Raleigh gas station Chicken is getting a better rating than bow
• 1:19:53
  Jangles, a national chain. That's what I'm seeing. Let's see, Steven
• 1:19:59
  says chicken tenders at first gas station in Louisville headed north on twenty five.
• 1:20:02
  I can vouch for that. I can vouch for that. Those are very
• 1:20:06
  good, very good. I'm telling you this some of the most untapped stuff
• 1:20:10
  out there. Do you have anything left? Before we roll off into the
• 1:20:15
  sunset and uh, Michigan rolls their sleeves up. I'm gonna go thirty one
• 1:20:21
  to twenty one fighting Jim Harbaughs. I think this game is close into the
• 1:20:29
  third quarter, but I think Michigan wears them down and Blake Korum is going
• 1:20:33
  to be the workhorse tonight. Coorum so far this year. Let me get
• 1:20:42
  back over here to real quick because I'm running out of time. Blake Korum
• 1:20:46
  this year his highest output in a game twenty one carries against Rutgers, twenty
• 1:20:59
  six against Penn State, twenty eight against Maryland. He only had nineteen against
• 1:21:03
  Alabama. I almost say Korm is gonna go thirty one carries, one hundred
• 1:21:10
  and fifty one yards and two touchdowns tonight. And JJ McCarthy's gonna throw for
• 1:21:15
  a couple and visions of Tom Brady at Michigan, what do you think?
• 1:21:21
  Well, you know what, that would actually fit because Tom Brady was pretty
• 1:21:27
  unimpressive at Michigan, and JJ McCarthy is slightly above schmidiocre at Michigan. Is
• 1:21:35
  the best it's ever played there? Well, hey, it might actually be
• 1:21:39
  because the Michigan quarterback history the tree is not very plentiful. Postok Josephs Bojangles
• 1:21:46
  sounds like an adult club Gator, Matt, Can we trust the palette from
• 1:21:50
  people who eat hot dogs from gas stations? Well, I mean, I
• 1:21:58
  don't know. How do you how do you gauge the success of palettes?
• 1:22:03
  I don't appreciate. Well, I really don't appreciate the use of the word
• 1:22:09
  palette. It sounds like you're trying to be You're trying. You're trying so
• 1:22:14
  hard to be a food snob. You're trying to be palette. Let's just
• 1:22:19
  go with taste Buds or something. Gris, that's right. Thirty five thirty
• 1:22:25

• 1:22:29

• 1:22:40

• 1:24:24
  Well, it's the second leading cancer killer in the US, and screening
• 1:24:28
  helps prevent it. So if you're fifty year older, it's time. Even
• 1:24:32
  if it doesn't run in your family. Most often, co directal cancer occurs
• 1:24:36
  in people with no family history, and it doesn't always cause symptoms, especially
• 1:24:41
  early on, so don't wait for symptoms to get tested. Screening helps prevent
• 1:24:45
  the disease by finding pre cancerous polyps so they can be removed. Remove the
• 1:24:49
  polyp prevent the cancer. Screening also helps find co directal cancer early when treatment
• 1:24:56
  works best. You might be thinking, oh, no, that test,
• 1:25:00
  But here's the thing. You have options. There's more than one screening test.
• 1:25:05
  Talk to your doctor to find the one that's right for you. No
• 1:25:09
  more excuses. If you're over fifty, get tested because co directal cancer screening
• 1:25:14
  really does save lives. A message from HHS and CDC's Screen for Life campaign.
