- 1:56Speaker 2: So I'm excited about coaching both those guys.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Good. So when is the draft go? What time?

- 2:06Speaker 2: I think we're starting with offensive linemen, so I get
- 2:10Speaker 2: to choose an offensive lineman that's going to protect those
- 2:13Speaker 2: fine lads and take us to places hereto for unknown
- 2:18Speaker 2: glory Land if you will.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Okay, great, I love this is happening in.
- 2:22Speaker 2: My story and I'm sicking to it.
- 2:25Speaker 1: I mean, you're on the clock, you're picking less than
- 2:27Speaker 1: two hours, and you're taking time for you know, Ashley,
- 2:30Speaker 1: Bucky and me, we relieve that multitasker Deluxe.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Let me tell you.
- 2:35Speaker 1: You're putting your tie on right now, aren't you? As
- 2:38Speaker 1: we speak. I can tell my.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Renegade gear is being placed on my body at this time. Yes,
- 2:44Speaker 2: that's accurate, all right.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Rick new Iael with us here on Draft Day, chalking
- 2:50Speaker 1: back in the morning Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 2:52Speaker 1: kJ R f M. My goodness, this Indiana story just
- 2:56Speaker 1: keeps getting better and richer, and they just looking more
- 3:01Speaker 1: and more dominant as every game goes by. Does Miami
- 3:05Speaker 1: stand a chance? I mean, they just look like a
- 3:08Speaker 1: machine right now. I don't know if anybody can come
- 3:11Speaker 1: within ten points of the Indiana Hoosiers.
- 3:14Speaker 2: It is really astounding to fathom what we're watching. Do
- 3:19Speaker 2: you realize since the turn of the century, everybody remembers
- 3:23Speaker 2: why two k Indiana has had twenty one losing seasons
- 3:29Speaker 2: in this century, twenty one out of twenty out of
- 3:35Speaker 2: twenty five losing seasons, and yet here they are the
- 3:40Speaker 2: undisputed number one team in the land and not even close.
- 3:44Speaker 2: They're laying waste to their opponents. And I mean the
- 3:48Speaker 2: quarterback in two college football playoff games, you know, the
- 3:53Speaker 2: best in terms of a competition is thirty one of
- 3:58Speaker 2: thirty six and eight touchdowns. One of thirty six with
- 4:04Speaker 2: eight touchdowns. They are twenty and twenty eight on third
- 4:08Speaker 2: down conversions, they are and four hundred yards rushing in
- 4:13Speaker 2: the two games. I mean, they're just mauling people.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's pretty impressive, but I mean, I'd
- 4:20Speaker 5: love to get your take on this. I mean, I
- 4:22Speaker 5: hear people for some reason. And don't get me wrong,
- 4:24Speaker 5: I mean, Mendoza is a bit goofy in some of
- 4:27Speaker 5: his interviews and whatnot, but I mean the way in
- 4:29Speaker 5: which he plays quarterback is pretty impressive. And yet I'll
- 4:32Speaker 5: hear people, you know, call him like a game manager,
- 4:35Speaker 5: as if that's like a bad thing, because I don't
- 4:38Speaker 5: really understand it. When you're watching this guy play, what's
- 4:41Speaker 5: your scouting report on him?
- 4:45Speaker 2: Clearly he has the keys to the car, which means
- 4:48Speaker 2: that he's been given the freedom to change plays. And
- 4:51Speaker 2: he's got an incredible acumen for the game. I mean
- 4:55Speaker 2: when you list what he studied at cal is molecular engineering, calculus,
- 5:02Speaker 2: and football at his core. Assuming that everybody's equal talent,
- 5:06Speaker 2: his mass, and so what he sees his angles advantages
- 5:10Speaker 2: and as places in the geometry game of eleven on
- 5:15Speaker 2: eleven and you're looking for advantages when you put people
- 5:18Speaker 2: in motion and you shift and create formations. He sees
- 5:22Speaker 2: all that, and so he's able in the forty second
- 5:25Speaker 2: shot clock to get the next play run in a
- 5:28Speaker 2: downhill fashion where you have an angles advantage, and he
- 5:31Speaker 2: puts the ball in places where you have an angles advantage.
- 5:35Speaker 2: The world of the back shoulder throw doesn't care where
- 5:39Speaker 2: the defender is as long as you can put it
- 5:42Speaker 2: where the defender can't humanly make a play. And you've
- 5:45Speaker 2: got a talent enough receiver to adjust his hips and
- 5:48Speaker 2: put his hips and make the play on the outside shoulder,
- 5:50Speaker 2: as sarat Eliza Suratt has been able to do over
- 5:53Speaker 2: and over again, or Becker has been able to do
- 5:56Speaker 2: over and over again Omark Cooper. He puts the where
- 6:00Speaker 2: only they can get it, and to see it is
- 6:03Speaker 2: one thing. And then to actually have the gifts to
- 6:06Speaker 2: throw it and put it there. It's been remarkable. I mean,
- 6:10Speaker 2: it is as good a football as we've seen in
- 6:12Speaker 2: recent memory. It's not just overpowering people because you're bigger
- 6:16Speaker 2: than they are. It's beautiful football being played, and it's
- 6:21Speaker 2: at a place that no one could have imagined. This
- 6:23Speaker 2: program started the season as the losingest program in the
- 6:27Speaker 2: history of college football, and now they look like one
- 6:30Speaker 2: of the best teams that's ever played the game.
- 6:32Speaker 1: So if Miami has a shot Monday night, how does
- 6:37Speaker 1: that happen.
- 6:39Speaker 2: They got to be able to run the ball and
- 6:40Speaker 2: play their own version of Indiana football. They've got to
- 6:43Speaker 2: be able to Fletcher has been fantastic, And look, they
- 6:46Speaker 2: controlled the ball against Ole Miss for forty two minutes.
- 6:50Speaker 2: When you have the ball for forty two minutes, that
- 6:52Speaker 2: game should never have been close. They dropped four interceptions,
- 6:56Speaker 2: they had ten penalties that cost them possessions points. They
- 7:01Speaker 2: can't play like that. If they play clean and efficiently,
- 7:06Speaker 2: you know, taking that term from Indiana, then they can
- 7:09Speaker 2: hang in there because they're physical enough on both lines
- 7:12Speaker 2: of scrimmage to hang in there with Indiana. The question
- 7:15Speaker 2: is can they be as efficient as Indiana.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Rick new Isiel is with us our college football insider,
- 7:22Speaker 1: brought to you by Taco Tom getting ready for is
- 7:25Speaker 1: UFL draft here in about an hour and forty minutes,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and so he's talking some college football with us. I'm
- 7:32Speaker 1: sure a lot of people listening to us right now
- 7:34Speaker 1: here in Seattle cannot wait to hear Rick new Isel's
- 7:37Speaker 1: thoughts on the Demand Williams junior week that we just
- 7:41Speaker 1: experienced up here. That was some crazy stuff. Coach, What
- 7:45Speaker 1: were you making of it as you followed it from Afar?
- 7:48Speaker 2: Well, you guys were just the epicenter of what's going
- 7:51Speaker 2: on in college football for about, you know, thirty six hours.
- 7:56Speaker 2: I mean, that's basically what happened. So Demon Williams signs
- 7:59Speaker 2: a unbelievably lucrative deal given the history of the game.
- 8:03Speaker 2: He's going to make over four million dollars to be
- 8:05Speaker 2: the quarterback at Washington. He's adored by everybody there. What
- 8:09Speaker 2: could be better for a twenty year old kid, twenty
- 8:12Speaker 2: one year old kid to have that opportunity. I'll tell
- 8:15Speaker 2: you what could be better. Lane Kitten calls you and
- 8:18Speaker 2: says I can offer you six million, and like many youngsters,
- 8:23Speaker 2: stars in their eye. He bought in and he said,
- 8:27Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. I'll go be the six
- 8:29Speaker 2: million dollar man like Lee Majors rather than the four
- 8:32Speaker 2: million dollar man. And in you know, not thinking it
- 8:36Speaker 2: all the way through, whether you know what it was
- 8:38Speaker 2: going to do to you know, his reputation, and then
- 8:41Speaker 2: certainly not thinking the legalities of a contract. You know,
- 8:45Speaker 2: where there's offer and acceptance and consideration that usually forms something,
- 8:49Speaker 2: and when you break it there are consequences. So he
- 8:53Speaker 2: didn't realize all that. He certainly came to the conclusion
- 8:58Speaker 2: that this was not a good idea of Jed obviously
- 9:00Speaker 2: helping him come to that conclusion, and also realizing, I'm
- 9:04Speaker 2: not going to get out of this contract. There's going
- 9:06Speaker 2: to be some real damage done to me. I better
- 9:09Speaker 2: jump back into the ship if I can, and Jed,
- 9:12Speaker 2: I think, will steer that ship beautifully and get Husky
- 9:15Speaker 2: fans to forgive if that's possible. But I think once
- 9:19Speaker 2: he throws about a four touchdown game and says he's sorry,
- 9:22Speaker 2: a bunch of times, there'll be some measure of forgiveness.
- 9:25Speaker 6: I'm with you.
- 9:26Speaker 5: I think that there's a bunch of times where you
- 9:28Speaker 5: maybe don't like somebody, whether it's character or decision making
- 9:32Speaker 5: or something. And yet if they help your team win,
- 9:34Speaker 5: then people get over.
- 9:35Speaker 6: It real quick.
- 9:36Speaker 5: Inside the locker room, however, I mean, I can see
- 9:39Speaker 5: why Jed Fisher is like, no, I want Demon Williams back,
- 9:42Speaker 5: He's one of the best returning quarterbacks in the country.
- 9:47Speaker 5: Will smooth over the roughness that it is created. But
- 9:50Speaker 5: on the flip side, I mean, you have a bunch
- 9:53Speaker 5: of guys who found out about it while at Mia
- 9:55Speaker 5: Hammont's memorial service, right, and that obviously was the uglier
- 9:59Speaker 5: enough really fortunate part of his timing or poor timing
- 10:04Speaker 5: when he did this and made this mistake. So what
- 10:07Speaker 5: does it do inside the locker room? Or are today's
- 10:09Speaker 5: athletes all in the mode of, hey, get your bag
- 10:13Speaker 5: if you can get more money, we don't care.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Well, there are some of that, but the timing was
- 10:19Speaker 2: incredibly insensitive. There's no other way to say it. And
- 10:23Speaker 2: let me offer my condolences as well. Yeah, the timing
- 10:29Speaker 2: was horrible, and I think demand needs a long look
- 10:33Speaker 2: in the mirror to realize. You know, while I'm young
- 10:38Speaker 2: and I'm allowed to make mistakes, I'm also being considered
- 10:42Speaker 2: as the leader of this team, and I've got to
- 10:45Speaker 2: take more time with my decision making, especially when it's
- 10:49Speaker 2: as consequential as this turned out to be. So hopefully
- 10:54Speaker 2: it's a lesson learned. Like I said, I think he's
- 10:56Speaker 2: got jed in his corner, which will help you know
- 11:00Speaker 2: the public perception of him. But he needs to go
- 11:04Speaker 2: out and earn the public's trust again himself and do
- 11:07Speaker 2: some things in the community that will help get that
- 11:09Speaker 2: done if he's got any wisdom at all.
- 11:13Speaker 1: So where are we then, how should we feel as
- 11:16Speaker 1: college football fans? All of us have purchased our ticket
- 11:20Speaker 1: aboard this nil adventure train that has taken us in
- 11:25Speaker 1: areas that we weren't expecting to see. Apparently some guardrails
- 11:29Speaker 1: were put up, and then we found out that those
- 11:32Speaker 1: guardrails actually can be effective. Demon Williams wasn't just allowed
- 11:36Speaker 1: to leave because he wanted to. There were going to
- 11:38Speaker 1: be consequences with that. And yet the entire incident was
- 11:42Speaker 1: another like national alarm going off all last week with
- 11:47Speaker 1: your right Seattle being at the center of it. So
- 11:49Speaker 1: what did we learn from this Demon Williams experience as
- 11:53Speaker 1: college football fans, good and bad? As to where the
- 11:57Speaker 1: sport is with wrestling in il and how it's going
- 12:00Speaker 1: to behave going forward.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Well, to me, it's just another reminder that we have
- 12:08Speaker 2: a lot of work to do to put rules and
- 12:12Speaker 2: regulations when money's involved. We can't just allow those teams
- 12:19Speaker 2: that have you know, oil tycoons to be at the
- 12:22Speaker 2: head of college football. We want. We like the idea
- 12:26Speaker 2: of parody, We like the idea that an Indiana can
- 12:30Speaker 2: go from worse to first. We like that storyline and that,
- 12:36Speaker 2: but we we can do better than this. And you know,
- 12:38Speaker 2: every other professional sports organization finds a way to collectively
- 12:44Speaker 2: bargain and create rules, and the government to when you
- 12:48Speaker 2: collectively bargain then gives you some measure of antitrust protection
- 12:55Speaker 2: so that you're not going to get sued and sued again.
- 12:58Speaker 2: The NCAA has got a bad track record when it
- 13:00Speaker 2: comes to litigation, and so if we're going to do this,
- 13:04Speaker 2: we've got to go to the painstaking effort of bargaining
- 13:09Speaker 2: with the students and making sure they get their rightful
- 13:13Speaker 2: piece of the pie, and then build our infrastructure so
- 13:17Speaker 2: it makes sense financially for all the universities who are
- 13:20Speaker 2: enjoying having intercollegiate athletics on campus. It's not complicated. It
- 13:24Speaker 2: sits hard and right now those who have the power
- 13:29Speaker 2: don't want to relinquish it, and so that's why we're
- 13:32Speaker 2: having this tugle war.
- 13:33Speaker 5: It feels like the blueprint to be successful in college
- 13:38Speaker 5: football right now is to go out and get obviously
- 13:40Speaker 5: experienced players. Now, it used to be that you played
- 13:43Speaker 5: your guys. If they were good enough to make you
- 13:45Speaker 5: know the team or get on the field, then you
- 13:47Speaker 5: played them and that's how they they got their experience.
- 13:50Speaker 5: And yet at the highest level, if you're trying to
- 13:52Speaker 5: compete for a national championship, we're watching you know, these
- 13:55Speaker 5: guys that are transfers that have played somewhere and they're
- 13:58Speaker 5: getting this experience. Is that just the way that everybody
- 14:00Speaker 5: has to do it? Where the idea of bringing somebody,
- 14:04Speaker 5: getting somebody out out of high school and you're just
- 14:06Speaker 5: going to kind of ride with them for a couple
- 14:08Speaker 5: of years and tell they're good and helping you be competitive.
- 14:12Speaker 5: Or are most teams that are going to try for
- 14:13Speaker 5: a national championship going to go out and try to
- 14:16Speaker 5: pluck somebody that's played somewhere else.
- 14:18Speaker 6: But you have a better program.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Well, I think that's the paradigm right now. I think
- 14:23Speaker 2: what's happening is if you have an opportunity to enhance
- 14:27Speaker 2: your team by going and getting an experienced player, you're
- 14:31Speaker 2: going to do it to the detriment of those who
- 14:34Speaker 2: are developing. And because when you go and get that player,
- 14:37Speaker 2: that kid who was developing at that position is sitting
- 14:40Speaker 2: there going seeing a log jam towards playing time, which
- 14:44Speaker 2: means I got to press eject and go someplace else
- 14:47Speaker 2: where I can get playing time. And so we've got
- 14:50Speaker 2: a giant musical chairs team going on in college athletics.
- 14:54Speaker 2: I mean, we just watched Old Myths playing the semi finals,
- 14:57Speaker 2: and I'm looking at all there was and their quarterbacks
- 15:01Speaker 2: and their offense. I think seven, at least seven or
- 15:04Speaker 2: eight of their offensive players were transfers, and at least
- 15:08Speaker 2: that many on defense. And if you're doing that constantly
- 15:11Speaker 2: each and every year, uh and having as Jimbo Fisher
- 15:15Speaker 2: calls him, production meetings and sitting there going if he's unproductive,
- 15:19Speaker 2: he's got to go. We've completely disbanded from the educational
- 15:23Speaker 2: piece of this, where a kid's going to come and
- 15:25Speaker 2: get an education, and then you know, hopefully help the
- 15:27Speaker 2: football team along the way. We've just decided we're a
- 15:31Speaker 2: pro operation and the education's gone by the wayside, which
- 15:35Speaker 2: is another reason we need to collectively bargain so that
- 15:37Speaker 2: we get rules about what happens to a transfer. Can
- 15:41Speaker 2: you really discard a player just because he hasn't played
- 15:44Speaker 2: and you because you want a better player, or should
- 15:47Speaker 2: we be able to pay a fenalty then that kid
- 15:50Speaker 2: can stay and have a scholarship the entire time. If
- 15:52Speaker 2: you did, that's a thing that to me will put
- 15:55Speaker 2: some put some teeth in this wanderlust that go get
- 15:59Speaker 2: something better. Marriages stop all the time because people want
- 16:03Speaker 2: to go get something better. The bottom line is if
- 16:05Speaker 2: you say you're married, you should be married. Try to
- 16:07Speaker 2: work your way through it. Obviously we know that that
- 16:11Speaker 2: can you know, people have to make decisions about their
- 16:14Speaker 2: future and their happiness and so forth. But eventually, like
- 16:17Speaker 2: the contract between Washington and Demand, the contract when a
- 16:21Speaker 2: player chooses to go to a school, to have some
- 16:23Speaker 2: teeth in it.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think if they do ever get to
- 16:26Speaker 1: that collective bargaining table and an agreement, there has to
- 16:30Speaker 1: be a lane Kiffin clause in there. He won't stay
- 16:33Speaker 1: in a marriage, that's for sure. Rick new Eil is
- 16:35Speaker 1: with us. I do want to ask you, just quickly
- 16:37Speaker 1: about the Oregon situation. Is there any other way to
- 16:39Speaker 1: read into Dylan Ryola, the single white mahomes going to Oregon.
- 16:45Speaker 1: I mean, he's obviously gotten the information that Moore's going
- 16:49Speaker 1: pro and he's replacing. I can't imagine he's going there
- 16:53Speaker 1: with any other assurance. I don't think he's going to
- 16:56Speaker 1: be a backup in Eugene.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Well, depending on what the compensation is. Listen, Dante Moore
- 17:04Speaker 2: benefited greatly by having a year watching Dylan Gabriel do
- 17:07Speaker 2: its deal, and if Dante Moore stays, Dylan Raiola would
- 17:12Speaker 2: benefit greatly watching Dante Moore play football and learning. From
- 17:17Speaker 2: a standpoint, do you realize Dylan Raola has been at
- 17:20Speaker 2: three different high schools. Now he's going to be at
- 17:23Speaker 2: another university. Dylan Rayola needs to settle down and learn
- 17:27Speaker 2: the game. He is not a finished product, so it
- 17:30Speaker 2: would be wonderful if he could actually have an opportunity
- 17:34Speaker 2: to sit and watch Dante. I don't think it's going
- 17:36Speaker 2: to happen. I think Dante is going to be off
- 17:37Speaker 2: to the league, but it would be wonderful, just as
- 17:41Speaker 2: it was for Dante to watch Dylan Gabriel.
- 17:44Speaker 1: All Right, well, we don't want to keep you any
- 17:46Speaker 1: longer than we already have. We know you got a
- 17:48Speaker 1: very busy day. You got to look your Dallas Renegade best.
- 17:51Speaker 1: So we appreciate you joining us here this morning and
- 17:55Speaker 1: enjoy the National Championship game. We'll recap it with you
- 17:59Speaker 1: next Tuesday.
- 18:01Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. We're taking the Indiana Hoosiers.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Lay the points, just enjoy the surge. It's been a
- 18:08Speaker 2: perfect storm and in this case, colored Bloomington w red.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Go Renegades, Go Renegades.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Thanks guy seeing all.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Right, Rick new Eisel, Johnny us right here on Chuck
- 18:19Speaker 1: and Buck, our college football Insider, his segment that brought
- 18:22Speaker 1: to you by Taco Time. Yeah, I just I don't
- 18:26Speaker 1: see any stopping them. I mean, I'm what on earth?
- 18:31Speaker 7: Who?
- 18:31Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 18:32Speaker 1: There's a maybe like the you know, the Bills could
- 18:36Speaker 1: come within ten points of them, of the Indian they play.
- 18:40Speaker 4: At least the Jets and see what happens.
- 18:42Speaker 1: All right, they just look as like he said, they
- 18:45Speaker 1: went from the worst program in college football history and
- 18:48Speaker 1: in two years they look like one of the best
- 18:51Speaker 1: individual teams we've ever seen play the sport, don't. I
- 18:55Speaker 1: don't think Miami can come within ten of them. And
- 18:57Speaker 1: I think Miami's really good. I'm not that Miami's in
- 19:01Speaker 1: the championship game. I think that's a really good team.
- 19:03Speaker 1: I think they're really well coached. I think they got
- 19:06Speaker 1: a lot of talent. And I think that Miami the
- 19:08Speaker 1: U is back on the college football scene and in
- 19:12Speaker 1: very oppressive fashion. It's just they don't Nobody matches up
- 19:16Speaker 1: with this football team. Nobody's gonna beat come within ten
- 19:19Speaker 1: points of the Indiana Hoosiers. I don't care who it
- 19:22Speaker 1: is that would face up against.
- 19:23Speaker 5: Well, I mean, they're getting better, and so I mean,
- 19:26Speaker 5: you know, I mean, I hope that they beat Miami
- 19:28Speaker 5: by one hundred and seventy two points.
- 19:31Speaker 6: That would be great.
- 19:31Speaker 5: It make me feel better about the way in which
- 19:33Speaker 5: they destroyed my Ducks. But I mean, I think they're great,
- 19:36Speaker 5: and I think that what makes them great is something
- 19:39Speaker 5: that carries over regardless of who you're playing. They don't
- 19:41Speaker 5: seem like the moment's too big for him. Their quarterback
- 19:43Speaker 5: is one percent in control. They have playmakers on the outside,
- 19:47Speaker 5: they have two guys that can run the ball. Their
- 19:49Speaker 5: defense is pretty good, pretty good, and I think it'll
- 19:53Speaker 5: be enough to hold Miami down pretty good.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Their defense is great, it's pretty good.
- 19:58Speaker 5: I don't well, I mean it's I saw the I
- 20:00Speaker 5: mean I after the pick six to start the game
- 20:03Speaker 5: against Oregon. Then they marched right down the field on them.
- 20:05Speaker 5: I mean marched down the field on them. And there
- 20:08Speaker 5: has been times in the first time Oregon in Indiana
- 20:10Speaker 5: played that was a tight game. It ended up being
- 20:13Speaker 5: thirty to twenty, so they barely stayed within ten, but
- 20:17Speaker 5: it was it was tighter than that. It was, it
- 20:19Speaker 5: was closer than that. It was tied at one point
- 20:20Speaker 5: in time in the fourth quarter. So I do think
- 20:22Speaker 5: that there's a way in which you can do it.
- 20:25Speaker 5: But they're just not going to beat themselves. And I
- 20:27Speaker 5: don't think that there's very many college aged kids that
- 20:31Speaker 5: won't at one time or another make a mistake, whether
- 20:34Speaker 5: it's coughing the ball up or you know, making a
- 20:36Speaker 5: poor read or whatever it is. They just don't seem
- 20:39Speaker 5: to they're just super sound. I mean, I hope they
- 20:41Speaker 5: beat them. I hope they whooped the heck out of them.
- 20:43Speaker 5: They are they're unbelievable.
- 20:44Speaker 4: I think that's one of the things is how consistently
- 20:46Speaker 4: and how disciplined Indiana plays versus the amount of penalties
- 20:49Speaker 4: that Miami gets, because Miami can beat themselves. I mean
- 20:52Speaker 4: they almost did against Ole Miss with their penalties.
- 20:55Speaker 1: They always played discipline, yeah, always. They allowed all eleven
- 20:59Speaker 1: points per game this year in the Big Ten Conference.
- 21:03Speaker 1: That's the second best total in the entire They don't
- 21:06Speaker 1: have a weakness. They're unbelievable. Like they're just I mean
- 21:11Speaker 1: right now. I mean even that Charlie Becker has emerged
- 21:15Speaker 1: as like their best receiver. Yeah, by the end of
- 21:18Speaker 1: the season. They just keep getting better as they play.
- 21:22Speaker 1: It's unreal. So I'm expecting kind of a blowout, I
- 21:26Speaker 1: really am. I don't. I don't know how we could
- 21:29Speaker 1: expect anything differently the trajectory of this team right now.
- 21:32Speaker 1: All right, old Judge comes your way. Next Sports Radio
- 21:34Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ.
- 21:35Speaker 2: A r f M.
- 21:36Speaker 4: I kind of like Cornelia's buckhole.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Buck Hole's a long line of buckoles he comes from. Yeah,
- 21:47Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Well,
- 21:50Speaker 1: it's not really your name. I just messed it up. Yeah,
- 21:52Speaker 1: you're good.
- 21:54Speaker 6: Might turn into my name, though it could morph.
- 21:57Speaker 1: I would imagine is in court Ashley chose not to
- 22:03Speaker 1: rise interesting to see locker part and then even the
- 22:07Speaker 1: court room reporter mispronounced his name. So anyway, disrespect is real.
- 22:12Speaker 1: The only person that did his job today was our
- 22:15Speaker 1: bailiff Craig.
- 22:16Speaker 6: Yeah, Craig's a good dude.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Craig got us all the rights here soon. All right,
- 22:23Speaker 1: it's time for the old judge. Here's how this works.
- 22:25Speaker 1: I'm just going to bring up a few different topics
- 22:28Speaker 1: on the show, Ashley and I discussed him. Whenever the
- 22:31Speaker 1: old Judge has heard enough, he slams his.
- 22:33Speaker 6: Gabble gabble, gabble gabble, He weighs.
- 22:35Speaker 1: In as we zip our lips, and then whatever he
- 22:39Speaker 1: says goes in his courtroom.
- 22:41Speaker 5: Yeah, I need to really concentrate. In twenty twenty six
- 22:44Speaker 5: on the zipping of the lipping.
- 22:45Speaker 4: Oh, I was just thinking that when he said it,
- 22:46Speaker 4: I was like, I very rarely zip I know.
- 22:48Speaker 6: I know, and it's kind of like ordering the court
- 22:52Speaker 6: up in this bait.
- 22:52Speaker 1: It is a little bit all right, here we go,
- 22:56Speaker 1: Craig Craig. Yeah, Craig's got his cuffs ready. He's cuff happy.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Cruff me, Craig.
- 23:01Speaker 6: H huh, that's my kind of guy.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Oh he's got an itchy cuff finger. Yeah he does. Yeah,
- 23:08Speaker 1: well you're breaking law, Craig. Here we go first one.
- 23:12Speaker 1: The Seahawks need fifteen points Saturday. That's it.
- 23:19Speaker 4: I mean, realistically, I would say, yes, that is all
- 23:23Speaker 4: they need. However, I think for the confidence of Seahawks
- 23:26Speaker 4: fans moving forward, not that that's what they're playing for,
- 23:29Speaker 4: but for the confidence of myself and other Seahawks fans,
- 23:32Speaker 4: I'd like to see them be able to score more
- 23:35Speaker 4: than fifteen points. I'd like to see the offense take
- 23:39Speaker 4: advantage of the opportunities in the red zone.
- 23:42Speaker 1: I do.
- 23:42Speaker 4: I mean we would have scored nineteen had Myers not
- 23:44Speaker 4: missed the field goals the last game. So I think,
- 23:47Speaker 4: I don't think you have to do a lot different,
- 23:50Speaker 4: and I think you will score more than fifteen points.
- 23:53Speaker 4: Does that make sense?
- 23:54Speaker 1: But yes, I want more than fifteen. You are more
- 23:56Speaker 1: than fifteen, Okay, I don't think our defense will give
- 24:01Speaker 1: up more than fourteen points, but you never know. With
- 24:06Speaker 1: flukey turnover or a bounce of a ball or a
- 24:09Speaker 1: special team's play, you're leaving yourself no room for air. Yeah,
- 24:13Speaker 1: that's that's a little uncomfortable. But maybe you do need
- 24:16Speaker 1: more than fifteen. But I can I can say that
- 24:19Speaker 1: the defense is not gonna need more than fifteen points.
- 24:22Speaker 5: Cavil Cavil, cavel. If you score fifteen, you lose. I
- 24:26Speaker 5: think I don't think. I mean, I can see how
- 24:29Speaker 5: this defense is dominant, but I just I mean, we
- 24:32Speaker 5: got to take the sample of what it is. So
- 24:35Speaker 5: you basically scored thirteen the first game and you lost.
- 24:37Speaker 5: You scored thirteen the second game and you won, You're
- 24:41Speaker 5: gonna need to do more than that offensively. I think
- 24:43Speaker 5: that the defense, while it was crazy dominant the last
- 24:47Speaker 5: time they played, and it was against the same team
- 24:49Speaker 5: that Shanahan's offense, I would think more that there's a
- 24:54Speaker 5: better chance that the offense looks somewhat closer to what
- 24:57Speaker 5: they looked like the last month and half of the
- 24:59Speaker 5: season than what they look like the last game of
- 25:02Speaker 5: the season. I would just think that there's now I'm
- 25:04Speaker 5: not saying that they're gonna go out don't think you're
- 25:06Speaker 5: going out there and scoring thirty five like they.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Know's what they looked like for the last month of
- 25:09Speaker 1: the season.
- 25:10Speaker 5: I'm saying it's gonna look closer to that. Then it's
- 25:13Speaker 5: gonna look to score in three points. So I would say,
- 25:16Speaker 5: right there, three points or thirty five points, I think
- 25:18Speaker 5: it has to go. It's going to be closer to
- 25:20Speaker 5: the thirty five, not even near thirty five, but it's
- 25:23Speaker 5: gonna be over fifteen.
- 25:24Speaker 4: We've scored twenty six against them and they've scored, right
- 25:29Speaker 4: or yeah, No, we scored sixteen and they've scored twenty.
- 25:33Speaker 6: Yeah against them in those two games.
- 25:35Speaker 1: So I think I love scoring. Yeah, yeah, yeah, billion years.
- 25:38Speaker 4: But I'm saying, even then, when our defense wasn't what
- 25:41Speaker 4: they are right now, we still only gave up seventeen points.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right next one. Season ending press conferences
- 25:48Speaker 1: are no plays for compliments to losing coaches.
- 25:51Speaker 4: I do not understand why people are so bent out
- 25:54Speaker 4: of shape about this.
- 25:55Speaker 1: No, I don't.
- 25:56Speaker 4: I don't agree that. I don't think it is the
- 25:58Speaker 4: place to be complimenting the coach. I agree with that much,
- 26:01Speaker 4: But who gives a rats ass?
- 26:05Speaker 1: The woman did it? Move on.
- 26:07Speaker 4: The people that are making the bigger deal out of
- 26:08Speaker 4: it sound like bigger fools than she did.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Ah boy, those beat reporters. The guys that are on
- 26:14Speaker 1: the Daily Beat, boy, they really don't like that stuff.
- 26:17Speaker 1: So maybe this is a better question for Greg Bell's
- 26:20Speaker 1: and Curtis Krabtrees and Bob Condotas of the world. Don't
- 26:24Speaker 1: want their time wasted, especially in the playoffs when you
- 26:27Speaker 1: only have fifteen minutes. I think it was a little
- 26:29Speaker 1: embarrassing for Lynn Jones and Jacksonville. I think that it
- 26:33Speaker 1: was a bit cringey that moment for her in her career.
- 26:36Speaker 1: But I don't see any reason that it's turned into
- 26:40Speaker 1: some sort of national controversy. That's what I can't figure out.
- 26:44Speaker 1: The anger needs to be snuffed out.
- 26:47Speaker 5: Gravel Cavell Gavel, Yeah, I mean I basically am on
- 26:50Speaker 5: the same page as you guys. I mean I don't
- 26:53Speaker 5: see why it's even really like cringey or like looked
- 26:57Speaker 5: down upon, Like maybe it's not the place, but I
- 27:00Speaker 5: don't know where the place would be. Is it just
- 27:02Speaker 5: write an article afterwards? I don't know what's wrong with
- 27:05Speaker 5: just saying it to their face, Hey you did well,
- 27:07Speaker 5: you know, because ultimately what Liam Cohne did, he you know,
- 27:12Speaker 5: he's coming back, and so it's just kind of a
- 27:14Speaker 5: send off It's not like people aren't going to ask
- 27:16Speaker 5: all the questions about the game, how you came up
- 27:19Speaker 5: short and what not.
- 27:20Speaker 6: To me, I obviously have zero anger.
- 27:22Speaker 1: If anything.
- 27:23Speaker 5: I'm like, it wouldn't be a bad thing if in
- 27:25Speaker 5: our world there was more compliments thrown around when there's
- 27:28Speaker 5: something to compliment.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Well, there are only fifteen minutes. That's you know, I
- 27:32Speaker 1: would imagine Liam would give more if but the ideas
- 27:35Speaker 1: you have fifteen minutes, and then you have national reporters
- 27:38Speaker 1: there as well, so the local guys to get their answers,
- 27:42Speaker 1: you know, they do, they get they are more crunched
- 27:45Speaker 1: for time in the postseason. Yeah, so you know, we
- 27:49Speaker 1: got all these national guys who are annoying us, and
- 27:51Speaker 1: now we've got one of our local beat writers that
- 27:54Speaker 1: is spending fifty eight second. Not even a sports reporter.
- 27:57Speaker 6: I don't think she is.
- 27:58Speaker 1: A sports I look that up. He is a sports reporter.
- 28:02Speaker 1: But she just she spent a minute of their precious time. Yeah,
- 28:07Speaker 1: doing something that was not productive for the rest of them.
- 28:12Speaker 1: That's that's where the anger comes from. But it just
- 28:15Speaker 1: was an overreaction to it.
- 28:16Speaker 4: It was like, oh, this shouldn't this wasn't the place
- 28:18Speaker 4: that would have been fine, but they just went on
- 28:20Speaker 4: and I mean it just seemed to have a life
- 28:22Speaker 4: of its own.
- 28:23Speaker 1: All right. Next one, Dante Moore should stay at Oregon,
- 28:27Speaker 1: if for no other reason, to avoid the risk of
- 28:31Speaker 1: playing for the Jets.
- 28:33Speaker 4: I mean, that's worth a lot of consideration. I wasn
- 28:37Speaker 4: think you were gonna say he should stay at Oregon
- 28:39Speaker 4: just so Dylan Ryola can copy everything he does.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Gonna happen, and then he'll just dedicated home. He really is.
- 28:50Speaker 4: I mean, if I was Dante Moore, unfortunately college football
- 28:55Speaker 4: isn't this way anymore, I would say, yeah, stay there
- 28:57Speaker 4: because you're gonna get some money, and you have it.
- 28:59Speaker 4: You have legit shot at winning a national championship. You're
- 29:02Speaker 4: a good quarterback, you got a good team, you got
- 29:04Speaker 4: a good coach. I would want to go after that
- 29:07Speaker 4: championship again. And if I'm on the Jets, I have
- 29:09Speaker 4: no chance.
- 29:10Speaker 1: I don't think there's as much like need for haste
- 29:14Speaker 1: to get to the National Football League. Number One, you're
- 29:16Speaker 1: making money now in the college ranks. You're making about
- 29:18Speaker 1: as much money as you did in the NFL ranks. Also,
- 29:22Speaker 1: we're finding out here recently the greatest trend is more
- 29:25Speaker 1: experience that you can get in college. It seems like
- 29:27Speaker 1: you have a more seamless transition into the NFL. So
- 29:31Speaker 1: I don't know why so hasty to get there. I
- 29:34Speaker 1: think he could really benefit from another reyear at Oregon.
- 29:39Speaker 1: But there's the little caveat to the entire story is
- 29:42Speaker 1: there is a huge ground swell of nobody wants to
- 29:47Speaker 1: play for the Jets, like the word is out on
- 29:50Speaker 1: the Jets being a don't go there situation, like agents
- 29:55Speaker 1: don't want their players, players don't want to go there.
- 29:58Speaker 1: The Jets are a poison right now. And if that's
- 30:02Speaker 1: where Dante more, if that's his goal is to go
- 30:05Speaker 1: number two behind Mendoza to the Jets, then maybe a
- 30:09Speaker 1: year at Oregon, a national championship run and going number
- 30:12Speaker 1: one next year could be a better situation. Gabble, gavel, gabble.
- 30:16Speaker 5: I want him to come back, just simply because I
- 30:18Speaker 5: don't know for sure, what if I haven't watched Dylan
- 30:20Speaker 5: Rayola play a whole heck of a lot. I know
- 30:22Speaker 5: that he's got all of the intangibles, but I just
- 30:25Speaker 5: the fact that you try to act like somebody else.
- 30:27Speaker 5: I don't know any he's got talent like, well, that's
- 30:31Speaker 5: what I mean, the talent of the arm strength, he's got,
- 30:33Speaker 5: the size, he looks like the prototypical quarterback and so good.
- 30:38Speaker 5: So anyways, I I would like him to come back
- 30:42Speaker 5: because I think that he actually needs to come back.
- 30:45Speaker 5: I don't think he's had enough experience that it showed
- 30:48Speaker 5: up the first play of the game. He just looked
- 30:51Speaker 5: like a bit of a deer in the headlights. I've
- 30:53Speaker 5: seen him, whether it like the Penn State game, and
- 30:55Speaker 5: everyone wants to poopoo on that because they ended up
- 30:58Speaker 5: being poor, but that was not a bad team when
- 31:00Speaker 5: they played him and he the lights were bright and
- 31:02Speaker 5: he played with poise, and there was a couple of
- 31:04Speaker 5: times down the stretch of the season he didn't I
- 31:06Speaker 5: think another year would benefit him, And if he also
- 31:09Speaker 5: gets to avoid going to be a New York Jet,
- 31:11Speaker 5: probably well, you never know, they might still be the
- 31:15Speaker 5: number one. If you're the number one quarterback next year,
- 31:18Speaker 5: and they might still be the number one get the
- 31:20Speaker 5: number one pick, so you maybe it's impossible to avoid
- 31:22Speaker 5: the Jets. But I would probably just come back just
- 31:25Speaker 5: simply for the fact I think it'd be better for
- 31:26Speaker 5: your career.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, final one. Maybe it's just me, but
- 31:32Speaker 1: I don't think Softy is more fired up for the
- 31:35Speaker 1: Toyota than at Bury and Toyota than he is for
- 31:38Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs. But that might just be man. I
- 31:40Speaker 1: don't think that's just you.
- 31:41Speaker 4: But I do think that Softy is a great liar
- 31:44Speaker 4: and a great endorser. And you know what, he says
- 31:47Speaker 4: the things that he needs to say, And I do
- 31:49Speaker 4: think he's pretty fired up.
- 31:50Speaker 1: I think he's fired up for Toyota than he not
- 31:53Speaker 1: a cavel cavel cave as fired up as he is.
- 31:57Speaker 5: I think that he is very fired up for the
- 32:00Speaker 5: Toyota thon, yes, but not even close to us fired
- 32:04Speaker 5: up as he is for the Seahawks playoff.
- 32:06Speaker 1: There's no way.
- 32:07Speaker 6: I mean, I one time.
- 32:08Speaker 5: Said I love pajama grams, and I did. I don't,
- 32:12Speaker 5: I mean, go get him. If you do like pajamas,
- 32:15Speaker 5: I just can't wear them too hot. I So you
- 32:18Speaker 5: do what you got to do in this business, and
- 32:20Speaker 5: he did it.
- 32:21Speaker 4: I think Softy would spend the night at Toyota than
- 32:23Speaker 4: that's how excited and fired up he is. But SOFTI
- 32:26Speaker 4: would move into Loomin Field and like camp out on
- 32:29Speaker 4: the grass all week long if he could.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I've been to Softy for a regular season game, yeah,
- 32:35Speaker 1: and I know how fired up he gets for that,
- 32:38Speaker 1: So I can't imagine how fired he gets he's gonna
- 32:41Speaker 1: jump out the post season game and for the playoffs. Yeah,
- 32:45Speaker 1: if he's actually more excited about Toyota than oh my gosh,
- 32:49Speaker 1: I don't even think that can be registered. No Toyota
- 32:52Speaker 1: is safe. I don't think that level of excitement can
- 32:54Speaker 1: be even registered. So it's just hard for me to
- 32:57Speaker 1: believe that he can go there.
- 32:58Speaker 4: Well yeah, I mean it makes me think he'd just
- 33:01Speaker 4: go there and throw all the cars off the lot.
- 33:02Speaker 4: If they're having trouble parking him, he'd just pick him
- 33:06Speaker 4: up and heave him out. He's so excited that adrenaline's pumping.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Hard time buying it, That's all I'm saying. All right,
- 33:10Speaker 1: coming up next, one last thing on kJ R, har
- 33:21Speaker 1: final segment of this Tuesday edition of Chucking Buck in
- 33:24Speaker 1: the Morning. Time for one last thing, Bucky, go ahead.
- 33:27Speaker 5: I just don't understand that the I'm glad that the
- 33:31Speaker 5: cancel culture maybe is trying to simmer down a little bit,
- 33:35Speaker 5: and yet I've seen some stuff as of late where
- 33:38Speaker 5: people are thinking that Softy should be reprimanded for his
- 33:44Speaker 5: comments about Demand Williams, and I just thought it was
- 33:47Speaker 5: I think it's silly for anyone to think that he
- 33:50Speaker 5: shouldn't that he should be in trouble for his opinion
- 33:55Speaker 5: and his raw reaction, his reaction of calling him a
- 33:59Speaker 5: what do you call him?
- 34:00Speaker 6: Uh, prick?
- 34:01Speaker 5: I think is write something like you call it. He's
- 34:04Speaker 5: It's not like he's trying. It was he was talking
- 34:07Speaker 5: about the timing of the whole thing, and to me,
- 34:09Speaker 5: that is completely warranted. It was a very bad time
- 34:13Speaker 5: to do that announcement. I think that you're entitled to
- 34:16Speaker 5: make a mistake. Even though you're making a bunch of
- 34:18Speaker 5: big boy money, you're still entitled to make a mistake,
- 34:21Speaker 5: and you're gonna have to own that. You're gonna it's
- 34:23Speaker 5: gonna be you throw a couple of interceptions early in
- 34:25Speaker 5: the season, you're gonna have to wear it's going to
- 34:27Speaker 5: kind of manifest something. But if you go out and
- 34:30Speaker 5: bowl out, then people will forget it. I just don't
- 34:32Speaker 5: understand the idea of needing to cancel people for having
- 34:36Speaker 5: an opinion about something that they feel passionately about.
- 34:39Speaker 6: So that's all fair enough. He's fine, yeah, soft, He's
- 34:44Speaker 6: fine for saying what he said.
- 34:45Speaker 1: And he loves Toyota Thum. Yes that he does a
- 34:48Speaker 1: lot more than I realized until.
- 34:52Speaker 6: Today, but not as much as the Seahawks playoff run.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I guarantee it. It's not what I heard, Ashley. What
- 34:58Speaker 1: your one last thing?
- 34:58Speaker 4: Well, we were talking about Indie just a little bit
- 35:00Speaker 4: ago and comparing where we start. We were talking about
- 35:03Speaker 4: their defense. And it's interesting because I do feel like
- 35:06Speaker 4: with Indiana, we always talk about their offense because they're
- 35:08Speaker 4: second in points per game for the season, so you
- 35:11Speaker 4: always see these big numbers from them, But defensively, I
- 35:15Speaker 4: went back just to look and see how they matched up,
- 35:17Speaker 4: and so Ohio State number one in points per game
- 35:21Speaker 4: at nine point three, Indiana eleven point one.
- 35:23Speaker 6: They're number two.
- 35:25Speaker 4: Miami is number five at fourteen. So and we also
- 35:27Speaker 4: talk a lot about Miami's defense and how good they are.
- 35:30Speaker 4: So it's been Indiana's offense Miami's defense. That's what everyone
- 35:33Speaker 4: keeps talking about. Yards per game. Ohio State again number
- 35:37Speaker 4: one at two hundred and nineteen point one yards per game.
- 35:39Speaker 4: Indiana was number four with two hundred and sixty and
- 35:41Speaker 4: Miami number eleven giving up two hundred and ninety two yards.
- 35:45Speaker 4: Then this is what I brought up to, just about
- 35:47Speaker 4: the penalties, how unpenalized Indiana is for the season. They
- 35:52Speaker 4: have been penalized fifty five times for four hundred and
- 35:54Speaker 4: three yards. Miami has been penalized one hundred and five
- 35:58Speaker 4: times for eight hundred and fifty six double.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Damn acc resac. It's the refs. It's the refs. I
- 36:05Speaker 1: don't know.
- 36:06Speaker 4: I just thought it was interesting because I do hear
- 36:07Speaker 4: so much about Miami's defense, and I was surprised to
- 36:10Speaker 4: see that that is actually how good Indiana's defense is.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I'll just underscore from that statement just
- 36:18Speaker 1: how excited I am in college football the defense is back. Yeah,
- 36:21Speaker 1: because there was about a ten to fifteen year stretch
- 36:24Speaker 1: where it felt like every game was fifty five to
- 36:26Speaker 1: fifty two and nobody was playing to even Alabama had
- 36:30Speaker 1: given into the you know, hurry up offense and throwing
- 36:33Speaker 1: the ball all over the field, and you know, yeah
- 36:36Speaker 1: they were. They were allowing thirty points a game. It
- 36:39Speaker 1: felt like now they were scoring fifty. Yeah. But it
- 36:42Speaker 1: just to talk about the National Championship game featuring two
- 36:47Speaker 1: teams that are allowing fewer than fifteen points per game. Yeah, yeah,
- 36:52Speaker 1: I think Indiana is about as complete a college football
- 36:56Speaker 1: team as I've ever seen. That's how I would despot complete. Yeah,
- 36:59Speaker 1: and yet I'm excited that we've got defense back in
- 37:04Speaker 1: the college football game because for there, for a while,
- 37:06Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was unwatchable. I hung in there
- 37:09Speaker 1: with college football, my friend college football, but I didn't
- 37:13Speaker 1: find it nearly as appealing as I find the current product. Yeah,
- 37:16Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to close with this. By the way,
- 37:19Speaker 1: Noan Aronado traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and so that
- 37:23Speaker 1: move went down here this morning. But the other baseball
- 37:28Speaker 1: news today, the Kansas City Royals have elected to move
- 37:31Speaker 1: in their fences, an organization long known and having pride
- 37:36Speaker 1: for being a pitchers ballpark, you know, with the beautiful
- 37:40Speaker 1: fountains in the outfield and everything else. They've decided enough
- 37:43Speaker 1: is enough. Their general manager said that our hitters are
- 37:47Speaker 1: getting in bad habits because balls that should leave the
- 37:52Speaker 1: park are not, and so they're trying to muscle up
- 37:55Speaker 1: more to get the ball out of the ballpark, and
- 37:59Speaker 1: it's throwing off their swing and leading us to have
- 38:02Speaker 1: worse offense this year. So what do you think moving
- 38:06Speaker 1: the fences in by ten feet across the entire way
- 38:09Speaker 1: until you get to the corners the Kansas City Royals
- 38:11Speaker 1: to generate more offense.
- 38:14Speaker 5: I'll just tell you of my own personal experience when
- 38:17Speaker 5: the fences were short, I tried to go yard more
- 38:21Speaker 5: and it didn't work out. It's when you play in
- 38:24Speaker 5: a giant ballpark where it's like, all right, just hit,
- 38:27Speaker 5: just hit, and then you run into one and if
- 38:28Speaker 5: you have real power, it goes out.
- 38:29Speaker 6: Of the yard.
- 38:30Speaker 5: If it was a short porch, I was just you
- 38:33Speaker 5: just salivate. Now you can't like take your mind off
- 38:36Speaker 5: of it. You can't think about doing anything other than
- 38:38Speaker 5: going yard. Like we got short defence, got short defense.
- 38:40Speaker 5: The winds too, okay, good luck. There will be some
- 38:44Speaker 5: balls that would have died on the warning track. But
- 38:47Speaker 5: there's also I mean some of those are gonna get
- 38:49Speaker 5: robbed because they shortened the fence as well. So I
- 38:52Speaker 5: don't I think it really boils down to be a
- 38:54Speaker 5: better hitter. And I can just tell you I was
- 38:56Speaker 5: a bad hitter for a lot of my life, and
- 38:58Speaker 5: short porches didn't make me okay.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Interesting, Bobby went twenty excuse me, thirty thirty two and
- 39:04Speaker 1: twenty three home runs the last three years. That's sixty
- 39:07Speaker 1: two eighty five five by three, twenty eight and a half,
- 39:10Speaker 1: twenty eight over twenty eight, twenty eight home runs per season,
- 39:15Speaker 1: ten feet shorter the fences with his swing. It's a
- 39:18Speaker 1: good coms good hitter, good hitter. How many more home
- 39:21Speaker 1: runs does he get?
- 39:22Speaker 6: Ten?
- 39:23Speaker 1: Ten more?
- 39:24Speaker 6: If it was just an average year, he could.
- 39:25Speaker 5: Hit ten more just in with the ballpark being the
- 39:27Speaker 5: same way, but ten, just ten line drives that go out.
- 39:31Speaker 6: Of the yard that would have went off the wall.
- 39:32Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty good. Interesting.
- 39:35Speaker 6: I'll pick them up in your fantasy if I was you, We'll.
