- 0:03Speaker 2: It's just like the menu at Taco Time. You just
- 0:05Speaker 2: can't get enough. You just can't get that.
- 0:07Speaker 3: This is our weekly visit with Rick Neuheisel, brought to
- 0:10Speaker 3: you by Taco.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Time, not those new Heizels. Used to be a moniker
- 0:14Speaker 2: of mine. I mean, just so you know.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Now on your home for college football Saturdays, here's na
- 0:20Speaker 3: Joe's new Heidel on Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 0:23Speaker 3: kJ R FM.
- 0:25Speaker 2: This is college football and I want you to get
- 0:27Speaker 2: it all over yourself.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Oh, it's a wonderful time in the week here on
- 0:32Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck our opportunity to talk college football. Former
- 0:35Speaker 1: you dub, a head coach and one of the faces
- 0:38Speaker 1: of the coverage of college football on Seaberos, Rick new
- 0:42Speaker 1: Isel is with us right here on Chuck and Buckome morning,
- 0:45Speaker 1: sirp Okay, got very shy since last Yeah he's not
- 0:50Speaker 1: usually shy. Yeah yeah, usually it's somebody. Maybe he's just
- 0:53Speaker 1: more soft spoken today. Ah, I didn't like. You can't
- 0:56Speaker 1: hear me. I didn't hear anything at all. Yeah, you're
- 0:58Speaker 1: gonna have to speak up, little bit, coach. So we'll
- 1:01Speaker 1: say if we can work on that connection. I am
- 1:03Speaker 1: excited to hear from coach on a number of topics,
- 1:06Speaker 1: including the ones that we're wrestling with here in Seattle.
- 1:10Speaker 1: So we'll effort on trying to get a better connection
- 1:14Speaker 1: here with a Coach new Isel and get him on
- 1:16Speaker 1: the show for you. But yes, a lot of different
- 1:20Speaker 1: ground to cover. We just played the Jedfish audio from
- 1:25Speaker 1: his press conference and he's trying to sell that he
- 1:29Speaker 1: wants to be here. We've already kind of covered the
- 1:31Speaker 1: fact that it's unfortunate if that's not the case, or
- 1:36Speaker 1: if it is the case that he wants to be here,
- 1:38Speaker 1: and yet he keeps getting dragged down. But I guess
- 1:40Speaker 1: that goes with I mean, you did sort of earn
- 1:43Speaker 1: the reputation of jumping around a lot, and so we'll
- 1:47Speaker 1: see how it goes from here. I think we've got
- 1:49Speaker 1: Coach new Isel again.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Coach you there, I am here. I'm sorry. All of
- 1:53Speaker 2: a sudden, I was getting ready to say how is everybody,
- 1:56Speaker 2: and whammo, you were gone, oh wow. Sometimes it goes
- 2:01Speaker 2: like that. Ask the poor Huskies in Wisconsin. Yeah it
- 2:05Speaker 2: didn't know.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Well wow, but.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Hey they get to a tone. Here comes Purdue and
- 2:13Speaker 2: then UCLA and then the Ducks. What better way to
- 2:17Speaker 2: finish a year with the threesome right there? So see
- 2:21Speaker 2: they can do it.
- 2:21Speaker 1: But to spend two weeks talking about the path is
- 2:24Speaker 1: there to make the playoff? I don't know if anybody
- 2:27Speaker 1: was going as far as predicting it around these yer parts,
- 2:31Speaker 1: but certainly we discussed the path being there, and then
- 2:35Speaker 1: for the door to get slammed like it did in Madison,
- 2:39Speaker 1: Wisconsin Saturday, I mean, how crushing is that to the
- 2:42Speaker 1: program to lose that football game.
- 2:45Speaker 2: That's that's a tough one because, like you said, the
- 2:48Speaker 2: games they remember played in November and have a chance
- 2:52Speaker 2: to play for the big prizes and really have an
- 2:57Speaker 2: excellent opportunity to do so. So, but it's time to
- 3:02Speaker 2: dust yourself off, pick yourself up, and see if you
- 3:05Speaker 2: can't play your best football down the stretch. A ten
- 3:08Speaker 2: win season is still out there, and regardless of what
- 3:12Speaker 2: it means for postseason, a ten win season is a
- 3:16Speaker 2: hallmark that people pay attention to.
- 3:19Speaker 4: I mean, what is the re How does something like that?
- 3:21Speaker 4: I mean the defense I think to some degree did
- 3:24Speaker 4: their part. They still gave up thirteen, but not I
- 3:26Speaker 4: mean it was a good it's the offense. I mean,
- 3:29Speaker 4: I was a step back from thinking this was the
- 3:32Speaker 4: best offense, their most explosive offense in college football, when
- 3:36Speaker 4: even when they were ranked there after a few games
- 3:38Speaker 4: end of the year. But they do have an explosive quarterback,
- 3:41Speaker 4: running back and a wide receiver too, and yet to
- 3:45Speaker 4: go out there and do what they did in Madison
- 3:48Speaker 4: was unexpected, to say the least.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Jedwos go as far as say unacceptable.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Right.
- 3:57Speaker 2: You have to now this is a quality d defense.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Luke Pickle's always going to have a good defense. They
- 4:06Speaker 2: just can't throw them. They just can't muster much in
- 4:09Speaker 2: the way of offense. And that was the case the
- 4:11Speaker 2: other night. They only had two hundred and five yards
- 4:14Speaker 2: of offense. So you have to manage this game differently.
- 4:17Speaker 2: You have to play knowing that this is going to
- 4:20Speaker 2: be a low scoring game, and you have to make
- 4:23Speaker 2: sure that you understand the value of possession and field position.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Time of possession is important. The Huskies only had the
- 4:32Speaker 2: ball twenty eight minutes and thirty eight seconds. In that
- 4:36Speaker 2: kind of game, you have to understand we're going to
- 4:38Speaker 2: make you go the long field. The fake punt was
- 4:41Speaker 2: a monumental play. You can't let them have that opportunity.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Those are the things that you just have to you
- 4:48Speaker 2: have to. It's like Oregon when they went to Iowa.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Oregon knew that they would have to play Iowa football
- 4:55Speaker 2: in that kind of environment, and they were able to
- 4:59Speaker 2: do it and came away with a victory eighteen to sixteen.
- 5:02Speaker 2: That isn't exactly the Star Wars, you know, version of
- 5:07Speaker 2: Oregon football that we've come to know and love. This
- 5:10Speaker 2: was ground and pound, and the Huskies, for whatever reason,
- 5:14Speaker 2: didn't adapt like that. Well.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I know Luke Fickle's not had a great year there
- 5:18Speaker 1: in Madison, but I'll give him this. That guy is
- 5:20Speaker 1: impervious to weather conditions. He didn't look like he was
- 5:22Speaker 1: effected at all. I saw Mike Holmgren's mustache freeze over
- 5:25Speaker 1: one time in a game in Wisconsin, and yet he
- 5:29Speaker 1: just like took he took the brunt of the storm
- 5:31Speaker 1: and acted like he was on the beach in Hawaii.
- 5:36Speaker 2: We read that he was he's an old nose guard.
- 5:40Speaker 2: He doesn't look like he was a nose guard, but
- 5:42Speaker 2: he was a three hundred and ten pound nose guard.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Wow.
- 5:44Speaker 2: For the New Orleans Saints, so that guy is rugged,
- 5:48Speaker 2: no question about it.
- 5:49Speaker 1: He's on the Ed Cunningham diet. Remember Ed Cunningham the
- 5:51Speaker 1: first time I saw him. After three days, I do, well.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I want to talk about Washington a little bit. I mean,
- 5:58Speaker 1: we had a big story here, a lot of rumors,
- 6:01Speaker 1: a lot of smoke, a lot of coaching vacancies, and
- 6:04Speaker 1: we happen to have a head coach that hops around
- 6:06Speaker 1: a lot. And Jed fish well yesterday at the podium,
- 6:09Speaker 1: he was his most adamant that he wasn't going anywhere.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I feel bad for him if that's not true, because
- 6:16Speaker 1: I do believe that it is affecting the program and
- 6:19Speaker 1: maybe his locker room as well. But on the other hand,
- 6:23Speaker 1: I mean, he did sort of earn his reputation as
- 6:26Speaker 1: moving around a lot, and I guess that goes with
- 6:28Speaker 1: the territory. What's your take on the entire situation.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I only know what my conversations have been with Jed.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I haven't talked to him during the season, but I
- 6:38Speaker 2: certainly talked to him in the preseason, having gotten to
- 6:41Speaker 2: go over there and watch the guy's practice. He loves Washington.
- 6:44Speaker 2: He loves it.
- 6:45Speaker 4: Now.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I know there's a big story out there about his
- 6:47Speaker 2: family not being in Seattle. I know his daughter wanted
- 6:51Speaker 2: to finish school in Tucson, and so they're back in Tucson,
- 6:55Speaker 2: letting her have this high school year there. And I
- 7:00Speaker 2: can totally understand that. I hope folks can understand it
- 7:03Speaker 2: as well. But his his belief in the Husky program
- 7:09Speaker 2: was sincere when he talked about it to me. I
- 7:12Speaker 2: also understand that his alma mater is open. You know,
- 7:14Speaker 2: you know the all alma mater alimony deal. Right, So
- 7:18Speaker 2: as soon as your alma mater is open, everything's you're
- 7:20Speaker 2: going there. Uh. And and if you're at your alma mater,
- 7:24Speaker 2: everybody wants you to stay there because you might be
- 7:26Speaker 2: getting like clerk Lee at Vanderbilt, right, you've got to
- 7:30Speaker 2: So there's all this kind of tension about it. But
- 7:33Speaker 2: I believe that Jet is happy. That doesn't mean I
- 7:36Speaker 2: know that Jet is staying, but I do know that
- 7:38Speaker 2: Jet is happy in Seattle.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Yeah, how the idea of I mean, I think you
- 7:45Speaker 4: dub is a legitimate, uh, you know, college program, and
- 7:49Speaker 4: and a lot of people would love to have this
- 7:52Speaker 4: job and stick with this job. I also think that
- 7:54Speaker 4: it was somewhat understandable.
- 7:56Speaker 2: And Bucky, he's getting paid legitimate college money, right, He's
- 8:01Speaker 2: getting paid seven and a half million bucks. That's the
- 8:03Speaker 2: hell of the deal.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Yeah and yeah, I mean it was understandable to me
- 8:07Speaker 4: when Caitlin de Bor has the opportunity to go to Alabama,
- 8:09Speaker 4: because that's just a different beast, right, And maybe there's
- 8:11Speaker 4: a few other that are in that program. And yet
- 8:14Speaker 4: if there's a second tier of blue bloods, I think
- 8:16Speaker 4: you dubs in there. Where do you think you dubbed
- 8:18Speaker 4: stacks up? I mean, because I think that everybody over
- 8:21Speaker 4: there would hate for nothing more than to be considered
- 8:25Speaker 4: a stepping stone to some bigger program.
- 8:28Speaker 2: I had a really good job at Colorado and had
- 8:32Speaker 2: a maybe the top one or two recruiting class going.
- 8:37Speaker 2: And when I came to Washington and talked to Barbara
- 8:41Speaker 2: Hedges back then and thought about what I knew about Washington,
- 8:45Speaker 2: having played against him at uc from my vantage point
- 8:48Speaker 2: at UCLA and having seen that crowd and knowing what
- 8:52Speaker 2: Don James was able to build there. Washington's a premier job,
- 8:57Speaker 2: a premier job, and because the fans are premier fans,
- 9:02Speaker 2: they get behind the program. And I believe that Jed
- 9:06Speaker 2: understands that the only job that I think he would consider,
- 9:11Speaker 2: he's not going to consider UCLA. He might use it
- 9:14Speaker 2: for leverage, but the only job he would consider would
- 9:17Speaker 2: be the Florida job because it's his alma mater. That
- 9:20Speaker 2: would be the only one. And I'm not sure that
- 9:22Speaker 2: they have any other name than Lane Gippin on their
- 9:25Speaker 2: list right now, so I wouldn't worry. I just know
- 9:29Speaker 2: that how I felt about Washington, it is premiere and then.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Some Rick new Isold is with us. So we got
- 9:36Speaker 1: a lot of other ground to cover here on this Tuesday.
- 9:39Speaker 1: But one more question about the Dogs. Do we have
- 9:42Speaker 1: to worry about two and eight perdue based on the
- 9:44Speaker 1: way that the team Playeds last Saturday?
- 9:48Speaker 2: They're pesky, But I think that there's enough pride in
- 9:51Speaker 2: the Husky locker room, and I would guess that there's
- 9:54Speaker 2: enough pride in the Husky locker room, especially on the
- 9:57Speaker 2: offensive side, to atone for what was not a good
- 10:00Speaker 2: enough performance last week. And I would expect that they'd
- 10:03Speaker 2: come out and play their tails off. And by the way,
- 10:06Speaker 2: on the subject of the Husky game, my team from
- 10:10Speaker 2: two thousand, the Rose Bowl champions are going to get
- 10:13Speaker 2: honored this weekend and I unfortunately I'm not going to
- 10:18Speaker 2: be able to be there, but I want to give
- 10:20Speaker 2: a shout out to the two thousand Rose Bowl champs
- 10:24Speaker 2: and all the kids that I had the great privilege
- 10:26Speaker 2: to coach and the coaches that will be there. I
- 10:29Speaker 2: just want you guys to know I'll be thinking about you.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, minute, that's not good enough.
- 10:34Speaker 1: You've got a helicopter drop in surprise, don't you that's
- 10:38Speaker 1: what you're.
- 10:38Speaker 2: Going I wished I did. I you know, I got
- 10:43Speaker 2: to work, I got to pay bills.
- 10:46Speaker 1: They're going to roll a cake out there in the
- 10:48Speaker 1: middle of the field and you're going to jump out
- 10:50Speaker 1: of it.
- 10:51Speaker 2: You don't know how hard I pushed for this game too.
- 10:53Speaker 2: I was trying to get it to be the Ohio
- 10:55Speaker 2: State game because they told me they were going to
- 10:57Speaker 2: do that this year, and I was hoping that EBS
- 11:00Speaker 2: would send us out right, but the CBS crew were
- 11:04Speaker 2: already already sending out the NFL guys on a remote.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Uh.
- 11:08Speaker 2: And then I was trying to make it the Oregon
- 11:10Speaker 2: game at the end so that maybe we could come
- 11:12Speaker 2: out and so forth. But it just didn't work out.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Man. You got to get here. You know what your
- 11:18Speaker 1: son looks. I could your son looks just like you,
- 11:21Speaker 1: So you know you can just put your son on
- 11:23Speaker 1: CBS and then you can show up from there.
- 11:26Speaker 2: He might rather than go to Ohio State.
- 11:33Speaker 1: He might rather rick New Isles with us. Right here
- 11:37Speaker 1: are College Football Insider and his segment, of course, brought
- 11:41Speaker 1: to you by Taco Time. All right, so what are
- 11:43Speaker 1: your expectations for tonight's college football playoff rankings? How much
- 11:47Speaker 1: shake up are you anticipating?
- 11:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see a whole bunch. Obviously, the ACC
- 11:55Speaker 2: took some shrapnel last week with Virginia losing, Louisville lou losing,
- 12:01Speaker 2: even Duke losing at Connecticut, even though it wasn't a
- 12:04Speaker 2: conference game, So that's a for sure deal that they're
- 12:07Speaker 2: only going to get one team in. I think the
- 12:10Speaker 2: Texas Tech victory for over b YU will obviously help them.
- 12:16Speaker 2: They'll move ahead of BYU, but it'll with Utah being
- 12:20Speaker 2: there and BYU's victory over Utah, I think they'll still
- 12:24Speaker 2: be very comfortable to get two teams in. Notre Dame
- 12:27Speaker 2: obviously needs to keep plotting away. That was an impressive
- 12:31Speaker 2: win over Navy in terrible conditions and now they get pit.
- 12:36Speaker 2: I don't see much in the way. I think you
- 12:38Speaker 2: will see Texas A and M go ahead of Indiana
- 12:42Speaker 2: and be the number two team in the country.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm expect the Texas to make its debut tonight
- 12:47Speaker 1: and then I don't know who gets that twelve feet
- 12:50Speaker 1: is it James Madison? Right now? Are they the top?
- 12:53Speaker 2: All there's a lot of publicity coming out from the
- 12:59Speaker 2: American Conference. It's about strength to schedule and who they're
- 13:02Speaker 2: really playing and so forth. Because of all the teams
- 13:05Speaker 2: at the top of that American there are I think
- 13:08Speaker 2: four or five teams with one loss in the American East.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Carolina is in that number and North Texas is in
- 13:16Speaker 2: that number, and then South Florida and Navy played this week.
- 13:20Speaker 2: So lots to happen in the always exciting American Conference.
- 13:26Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's talk about some of these games
- 13:28Speaker 1: this week. In very interesting schedule this weekend. I know
- 13:32Speaker 1: I asked you last week in any chance the Navy
- 13:35Speaker 1: can knock off Notre Dame and you said no, and
- 13:38Speaker 1: you were right. Any chance Pitt can knock off Notre Dame?
- 13:42Speaker 2: Yes, Pitt. Pat Nardoozi is a terrific defensive coach and
- 13:48Speaker 2: terrific defensive coaches can't be that unless they can stop
- 13:51Speaker 2: the run. So I think Pat Nardoozi and company can
- 13:55Speaker 2: get Notre Dame's running game corral. That doesn't mean extinguish it,
- 14:00Speaker 2: but they can corral it. And if they can, then
- 14:02Speaker 2: it becomes a CJ car game. And we'll wait and
- 14:05Speaker 2: see which of the two freshman quarterbacks first year quarterbacks here,
- 14:09Speaker 2: Mason Heinchell will have the better game. Since they put
- 14:13Speaker 2: Mason Hinschell in the game, Pitt has not lost. They've
- 14:17Speaker 2: been outstanding. And the two losses that they do have
- 14:20Speaker 2: on their schedule, they had seventeen point or ten point
- 14:24Speaker 2: lead against West Virginia, seventeen point lead against Louisville and
- 14:29Speaker 2: lost both those games because of turnovers. So Pitt's dangerous
- 14:34Speaker 2: this week, no question about it.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Good. I want them to be really dangerous this week,
- 14:39Speaker 1: all right. So I don't like that Texas and Oklahoma
- 14:42Speaker 1: are in the SEC. I still wish Texas was in
- 14:45Speaker 1: the Southwest Conference and Oklahoma was in the Big Eight,
- 14:47Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but they did get They
- 14:51Speaker 1: are giving us a blue blood bath this weekend. I
- 14:55Speaker 1: mean to have Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas versus Georgia
- 14:59Speaker 1: on the samee day. My goodness, it's not the SEC
- 15:03Speaker 1: football that I'm familiar with, and yet that's certainly two
- 15:07Speaker 1: really fascinating blue blood matchups right.
- 15:09Speaker 2: There, incredible blue blood matchups. And for the boys that
- 15:14Speaker 2: are coming from the Big twelve, there must wins. If
- 15:19Speaker 2: they find ways to win both at Georgia and at Alabama,
- 15:24Speaker 2: they'll be right back in that College Football playoff. They're
- 15:27Speaker 2: sitting right off the right off the line of demarcation
- 15:32Speaker 2: there because an ACC team and a Group of five
- 15:35Speaker 2: team have to be in there. They were ranked eleven
- 15:38Speaker 2: and twelve last week, so they are right on the
- 15:41Speaker 2: cusp of getting there, and these would be signature wins.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Neither of them can really afford a loss, given that
- 15:46Speaker 2: they fought. Both lost twice, Oklahoma of course, having one
- 15:51Speaker 2: of those losses against Texas just behind Texas, but both
- 15:55Speaker 2: have stalwart defenses and these are going to be great games.
- 16:01Speaker 1: USC is coming off a nice win over Northwestern. They've
- 16:04Speaker 1: got Oregon looming, though. Is this a trap game against Iowa?
- 16:09Speaker 1: I mean, normally trap games aren't against ranked opponents who
- 16:12Speaker 1: are coming off a pretty solid effort against Oregon, But nonetheless,
- 16:16Speaker 1: are they going to be looking ahead to the Ducks.
- 16:20Speaker 2: If this game were in Kinnick Stadium, I would be
- 16:23Speaker 2: taking in Iowa all day long. But because it's in
- 16:27Speaker 2: the coliseum, I think se will have enough in their offense.
- 16:33Speaker 2: They handled Michigan, which is, you know, pretty stout defense
- 16:37Speaker 2: at home. I think that they'll handle business against Iowa.
- 16:42Speaker 1: All right, do you have a Taco Time pick of
- 16:44Speaker 1: the week for us?
- 16:46Speaker 2: You just nailed it was to take the Trojans. Okay,
- 16:48Speaker 2: I was going to take the Trojans. I think they're
- 16:50Speaker 2: a six and a half point favorite. I just think
- 16:54Speaker 2: that based on you know, McKay Lemon, Jakobe and Jade
- 17:02Speaker 2: and Mayava, those three guys, plus a running game that's
- 17:05Speaker 2: been pretty consistent, more consistent than any other year previous.
- 17:08Speaker 2: With Lincoln Riley as the head coach, I think they
- 17:11Speaker 2: can handle Iowa and will do so comfortably.
- 17:15Speaker 1: All right, very good Taco Time pick of the week.
- 17:17Speaker 1: And I still got a couple of minutes, so I
- 17:19Speaker 1: get to actually ask you about the mess at LSU
- 17:21Speaker 1: before we get done here. So are they really trying
- 17:26Speaker 1: to back out of owing Brian Kelly the money that
- 17:30Speaker 1: they so proudly were willing to eat.
- 17:34Speaker 2: This is the new game. This is the new game
- 17:36Speaker 2: because of this, you know, giant contracts. What happens now
- 17:41Speaker 2: is they hire private investigators to basically look into the
- 17:45Speaker 2: life of the head coach, and they're trying to find
- 17:49Speaker 2: some dirt, some thing that qualifies under that could get
- 17:56Speaker 2: you out. I mean you imagine like putting pictures down
- 18:00Speaker 2: somebody's personal life and saying, hey, you've got to take
- 18:04Speaker 2: this money or we're going to let out these pictures.
- 18:07Speaker 2: And and it's disgusting. No one put a gun to
- 18:11Speaker 2: the h and set up for Brian Kelly, this much did.
- 18:19Speaker 2: But they did. And and the fact that the guy
- 18:23Speaker 2: wants the money, I mean, he didn't want to be fired.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Yeah, just stay there.
- 18:29Speaker 2: But the fact that they would fight him love is
- 18:32Speaker 2: disgusting and unfortunate, but it's the it's the sign of
- 18:37Speaker 2: the times.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Well, for no other reason, we got to get our
- 18:40Speaker 1: arms around this because we just can't let this keep
- 18:43Speaker 1: de evolving, you know, this this sort of activity. So
- 18:47Speaker 1: oh man, these are ripples I did not see coming
- 18:50Speaker 1: on this pond. So coach, thank you, we appreciate your
- 18:54Speaker 1: great stuff. I hope you can somehow swing it, maybe
- 18:58Speaker 1: clone yourself between now and Saturday, so you can get
- 19:02Speaker 1: out here to get on or alongside your team.
- 19:05Speaker 2: It would be a treat to be back in Husky Stadium.
- 19:08Speaker 2: But those boys will they'll cherish the memories. They'll cherish
- 19:12Speaker 2: the memories. Thank you so much.
- 19:13Speaker 1: All right, thanks coach Rick new Iel joining us right here.
- 19:17Speaker 1: His segment brought to you by Taco Time. I was
- 19:19Speaker 1: gonna try to make you feel like your radio was
- 19:23Speaker 1: going nuts and do one of these things like coming
- 19:26Speaker 1: back moment, bucking and I but no, that was not
- 19:32Speaker 1: your radio. Some of them was going along with his phone.
- 19:35Speaker 1: But he was talking about some really interesting stuff and
- 19:38Speaker 1: it was the last question of the segment. So I
- 19:40Speaker 1: was trying to push through. There we did. We got
- 19:44Speaker 1: through it.
- 19:44Speaker 5: You got the gist of what he was saying, is
- 19:47Speaker 5: doing that?
- 19:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you got the gist. The gist was gotten. Yep.
- 19:52Speaker 6: Run, it's already been burtt in all right.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Coming up next, the old judge stops by, and man,
- 19:59Speaker 1: we a bone or two to pick with him on
- 20:02Speaker 1: kJ R is now in the court room fifty fifth. Yep.
- 20:06Speaker 6: It's quite a family, quite a lineage.
- 20:09Speaker 1: I mean by people before me or having more babies, right, yes,
- 20:14Speaker 1: in order for me to keep getting further down the line.
- 20:17Speaker 6: Correct.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Okay, wait, good on your grandpa. I think I said
- 20:21Speaker 1: fifty fifth every time? Oh is it every single time? Yeah? Definitely, Yeah,
- 20:24Speaker 1: pretty consistent with that.
- 20:26Speaker 6: He thinks he said fifty fifth every time you sold that.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:31Speaker 1: It goes all the way back to your Scandinavian roots.
- 20:34Speaker 1: The Cornhole legacy is it's long, quite strong. Yeah, it's deep.
- 20:42Speaker 1: A lot of Vikings named cornhole.
- 20:44Speaker 6: Oh oh that's what you think.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Well, maybe not in their native tongue.
- 20:49Speaker 6: It was like horn yeah.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, a lot of them named horn hung. Yeah.
- 20:55Speaker 1: So anyway, we're very impressed with your lineage. By the way,
- 21:00Speaker 1: before we get going with the Old Judge, Seattle International

- 21:19Speaker 1: this is how the Old Judge works. Once week, the
- 21:21Speaker 1: Old Judge comes into our studios with his big giant gabble,
- 21:25Speaker 1: and I bring up a few subjects that Ashley and
- 21:27Speaker 1: I discuss. Once the judge has hurt enough of our nonsense,
- 21:31Speaker 1: he slams his gavel. Gabble, gabble, gavel, and then he
- 21:35Speaker 1: sets the record straight. And it does become official in
- 21:38Speaker 1: the annals of history, does it? Though? It is officially
- 21:43Speaker 1: spoken in the annals of history? Okay, that's true. Okay, yeah,
- 21:47Speaker 1: it is officially.
- 21:49Speaker 6: It has been said, right, it's been there.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Whatever you say will be said.
- 21:54Speaker 6: Will have good said, someone will have heard it right.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Right at that?
- 22:01Speaker 3: Ye.
- 22:02Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get into it. I got a
- 22:04Speaker 1: pretty lengthy list here today in the courtroom. Dan Wilson
- 22:07Speaker 1: will and should win the American League Manager of the
- 22:11Speaker 1: Year award tonight.
- 22:12Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Dan, but no, and no, I am not
- 22:17Speaker 5: as down on Dan Wilson as some people.
- 22:20Speaker 6: I will say, but that would be hard to do.
- 22:24Speaker 6: But I I do not think.
- 22:28Speaker 5: I do think there was still enough questions and enough
- 22:31Speaker 5: question marks that we had this season that there's room
- 22:35Speaker 5: for improvement. And I wouldn't put him as the top
- 22:40Speaker 5: of the American League.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's the only manager I watched manage
- 22:44Speaker 1: every game this year, but I had enough problems with
- 22:48Speaker 1: him that here, even in Seattle. I don't think that
- 22:51Speaker 1: he should. I think it should be Alex Cora, who's
- 22:54Speaker 1: not even a finalist. And I also don't think that
- 22:57Speaker 1: he will. I think John Schneider will win. Me cavill Gall.
- 23:02Speaker 4: No, I don't think he's going to win. And as
- 23:07Speaker 4: much as I would like to say I think he should,
- 23:09Speaker 4: I just I can't.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Now.
- 23:11Speaker 4: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna attempt to try to
- 23:14Speaker 4: dissect it down because I can't dissect John Schneider and
- 23:17Speaker 4: Steven Vote the way that I can dissect him. Was
- 23:20Speaker 4: he perfect? Nope, not even close to it. Is there
- 23:22Speaker 4: things that I disagree with, sure, But.
- 23:25Speaker 1: I think he did a really good job.
- 23:26Speaker 4: I mean, he did end up taking this team that
- 23:29Speaker 4: they had to stick around before the trade deadline moves.
- 23:32Speaker 4: They had to be within it to where the organization
- 23:35Speaker 4: wanted to go for it, and so he did a
- 23:36Speaker 4: darn good job basically from starting to finish, of putting
- 23:39Speaker 4: these guys in a position to where they would go
- 23:41Speaker 4: make moves, and then when they did, we were as
- 23:43Speaker 4: close to gett into a World Series as possible that said,
- 23:46Speaker 4: I just give I give the nod to John Schneider
- 23:50Speaker 4: because of the well documented overhaul of what they did
- 23:54Speaker 4: as far as their offensive production, how they went about
- 23:58Speaker 4: having better at bats, and we watched for seven games
- 24:00Speaker 4: against US in seven games against the Dodgers as well,
- 24:03Speaker 4: So to me, i'd give it.
- 24:05Speaker 5: To John Schneider a lot of games against the Yankees though,
- 24:09Speaker 5: because the Yankees sucked.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Speaking of John Schneider, John Schneider and Mike McDonald are
- 24:16Speaker 1: the NFL's hottest coach GM combo.
- 24:21Speaker 7: Right now, it's hard to see who might be well. Philadelphia, Yeah,
- 24:30Speaker 7: I'd say right now in this moment, especially recency bias,
- 24:33Speaker 7: two blowout wins, you made a trade just to amp
- 24:37Speaker 7: up an already good looking offense.
- 24:39Speaker 5: You've got a very strong defense. It looks right now
- 24:44Speaker 5: like you are pulling all the right strings. So in
- 24:46Speaker 5: this very moment, yes, they are the hottest duo.
- 24:48Speaker 1: I agree with you. They're not the best, they're not
- 24:51Speaker 1: the most accomplished, certainly, but man, this feels like a
- 24:54Speaker 1: marriage made in heaven. John's coming off maybe his best
- 24:58Speaker 1: draft that he's ever had, seemed to push all the
- 25:01Speaker 1: right buttons. Took a year for he and Mike to
- 25:03Speaker 1: get on the same page on the type of personnel
- 25:05Speaker 1: that Mike needed to run the program as he saw
- 25:09Speaker 1: it in his brilliant, weird genius mind of his. And
- 25:13Speaker 1: even guys I said this Monday, Ty Okadau and Drake Thomas,
- 25:19Speaker 1: like John's in this position now. It's like even when
- 25:22Speaker 1: I just pick off a couple scrubs, you've turned them
- 25:25Speaker 1: into something good. Yeah. So I think they're magical right now.
- 25:28Speaker 1: I don't think they're the best, but I do think
- 25:31Speaker 1: they are the.
- 25:33Speaker 4: Hottest Caravel Cavil. It's hard to argue with them not
- 25:39Speaker 4: being the hottest. I mean, to me, if you're talking
- 25:41Speaker 4: about the hottest, you're talking about temperature right now. Well,
- 25:44Speaker 4: I mean they've in the last couple few weeks have
- 25:47Speaker 4: jumped from a team that maybe going into the season
- 25:49Speaker 4: was like, I think this team might be pretty good.
- 25:51Speaker 4: Like what they saw out of defense. We'll see what
- 25:53Speaker 4: Sam Donald's all about. Well, the idea to move on
- 25:56Speaker 4: from who they had at quarterback before to Sam Donald.
- 25:59Speaker 4: Combine that with the defense that still looks like it's
- 26:02Speaker 4: growing and flourishing. It doesn't feel like it's capped out
- 26:05Speaker 4: by any stretch. They played a bunch of this season
- 26:07Speaker 4: without all their players, for crying out loud, and so yeah,
- 26:10Speaker 4: I think that there's they probably are. They've climbed up
- 26:12Speaker 4: to the top of the power ranking, so I think
- 26:14Speaker 4: that that's an entire organization thing. I think Mike McDonald
- 26:19Speaker 4: was recognized as a defensive guru, I mean, a mastermind
- 26:23Speaker 4: at that side, and now it's coming to fruition. You're
- 26:25Speaker 4: seeing that it that's not false. So that's John Schneider
- 26:28Speaker 4: good good choice on picking him and then pulling all
- 26:31Speaker 4: the strings that they've pulled and bringing in the most
- 26:34Speaker 4: important position and looking like an upgrade in Sam Donald
- 26:36Speaker 4: who's playing like an MVP as of late anyways, most
- 26:41Speaker 4: of the season. Anyways, Yeah, I think they probably are
- 26:43Speaker 4: the hottest. Good job judge.
- 26:45Speaker 1: That take was.
- 26:47Speaker 6: Hot, sizzling, that's right.
- 26:50Speaker 1: The Bengals should just set Joe Burrow at this point
- 26:53Speaker 1: for the rest of a loss season and start fresh
- 26:56Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six.
- 26:57Speaker 5: No, and I don't think that Joe Burrow wants them
- 27:00Speaker 5: to just sit him. I mean, he said he's been
- 27:02Speaker 5: trying everything to get his toe back to being okay
- 27:05Speaker 5: and being ready to play, And I don't think there's
- 27:08Speaker 5: especially right now. I don't think their season is lost yet.
- 27:11Speaker 5: Now if they lose the next two games leading up
- 27:14Speaker 5: to Thanksgiving, well then maybe you're looking at trying to
- 27:17Speaker 5: give him a little bit more time to be healthy
- 27:19Speaker 5: and not push it, because the last thing you want
- 27:20Speaker 5: is a set back. But right now, two weeks to
- 27:22Speaker 5: go till he thinks he's coming back.
- 27:24Speaker 6: No, I'm with you.
- 27:26Speaker 1: I'm with you one hundred percent. And then I would
- 27:27Speaker 1: just add something to it. I think Joe Burrow needs
- 27:31Speaker 1: to freaking play some football. Is this gonna happen every
- 27:34Speaker 1: year with you? Dude? And by the way, this whole
- 27:38Speaker 1: brave I stay in the pocket and take hits. It's stupid. Yeah,
- 27:41Speaker 1: get rid of the damn football because you can't withstand
- 27:45Speaker 1: the punishment that you are willingly taking on the football field.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Talk to Tom Brady in the offseason on how to get
- 27:52Speaker 1: rid of the football because your team needs you. Gavel, gavel, Gavel.
- 27:56Speaker 4: I think for sure they should allow him to come
- 27:59Speaker 4: back if he's ready to come back, because of the
- 28:01Speaker 4: division they play, and the leader in that division right
- 28:03Speaker 4: now is the Steelers and they're five and four, so
- 28:06Speaker 4: there are two games ahead of them.
- 28:07Speaker 1: So it's right there. Now.
- 28:08Speaker 4: I think that the Ravens are getting healthy and the
- 28:11Speaker 4: Ravens are probably the team to beat in that division,
- 28:13Speaker 4: but all kinds of crazy things can happen. You've got
- 28:15Speaker 4: a whole second half of the season to play, and
- 28:17Speaker 4: their best chance is to have him at the helm.
- 28:21Speaker 4: But I like your point there, that little added thing where, yeah,
- 28:24Speaker 4: it's good for you. I like being I like guys
- 28:26Speaker 4: that are tough. They're standing willing to stand there and
- 28:29Speaker 4: throw when they're looking down the barrel at a pass
- 28:31Speaker 4: rusher coming at them. At the same time, you got
- 28:33Speaker 4: to protect yourself. It's like, you know, your availability is
- 28:37Speaker 4: one of your best best abilities, and he hasn't been
- 28:40Speaker 4: very available.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Having every year to him and it's just like he
- 28:43Speaker 1: wears this badge of honor of like I'll take the hit. Well,
- 28:46Speaker 1: you're stupid.
- 28:47Speaker 5: Yeah, no one's ever questioned his toughness, that's for sure.
- 28:49Speaker 5: But you know at some point it is going to
- 28:51Speaker 5: catch up with you, all right.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Finally, it is perfectly awesome that somebody may or may
- 28:58Speaker 1: not have had his or her first cup of holiday
- 29:03Speaker 1: eggnog last night on November tenth.
- 29:05Speaker 8: Cavel Gavel Cavel cavel. Hell, no, wait a minute, we
- 29:09Speaker 8: didn't even get that answer.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Yeah, thrown court, bring nonsense, whoever you are. Bet it
- 29:17Speaker 1: was delicious.
- 29:18Speaker 5: I bet it was fire in the fireplace, or at
- 29:22Speaker 5: least you had.
- 29:23Speaker 6: One on in your mind.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I bet there was.
- 29:25Speaker 6: I bet there was see wait to soak it all.
- 29:29Speaker 8: And I bet, dumb cavel, I bet it was so good,
- 29:34Speaker 8: dumb that this person had a.
- 29:36Speaker 6: Second God, this person might be my new hero.
- 29:39Speaker 1: And this person didn't even put alcohol in it. Oh wow,
- 29:41Speaker 1: wait till the alcohol. That's cavel gavel.
- 29:45Speaker 4: Okay, you're onto something that you did put alcohol to,
- 29:49Speaker 4: just have the festive drink with no alcohol?
- 29:50Speaker 1: Pretty delicious contempt. Contempt, Maggie, I mean this person, Yeah.
- 29:59Speaker 5: This person might need to how to upgrade this supposed
- 30:02Speaker 5: up nog.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Well, now I get to do I mean, this person
- 30:05Speaker 1: gets to do it again in another time the right way.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Guilty of premature celebration. Guilty. This person's got a huge heart.
- 30:15Speaker 5: I think that's that having that nog that's equivalent of
- 30:18Speaker 5: three pumps.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Well done. One last thing's next Sports Radio ninety three
- 30:23Speaker 1: point three kJ r f M. My final segment here
- 30:35Speaker 1: on chugging Back here on this Tuesday, it's time for
- 30:37Speaker 1: one last thing. We go round the room, round the horn.
- 30:41Speaker 5: Some people that would have been a good show, name
- 30:45Speaker 5: well maybe Buck got.
- 30:48Speaker 4: Obviously the day we'll find out today where Dan Wilson
- 30:52Speaker 4: lands on the Manager of the Year award.
- 30:54Speaker 1: And and I'm not going.
- 30:56Speaker 4: To be frustrated or upset, right, I mean, it's I
- 30:59Speaker 4: would vote for him, but then again that's probably just
- 31:02Speaker 4: it is just because I know him and I like him,
- 31:04Speaker 4: and I'm I think that he did a good enough job.
- 31:08Speaker 4: So but that said, it's it's rower right almost here,
- 31:12Speaker 4: cal Rawley better win the MVP. I know that there's
- 31:14Speaker 4: a lot of people probably leading the direction. I love
- 31:17Speaker 4: Aaron Judge, I love what he does, but it's just
- 31:20Speaker 4: not even close in my opinion, and not even close,
- 31:23Speaker 4: not even close, not even close to the I mean,
- 31:26Speaker 4: the most outstanding offensive season, Aaron Judge, the most Valuable Player.
- 31:33Speaker 1: It's not even close. Well, we're gonna talk a lot
- 31:35Speaker 1: about it, by the way, for the next three days.
- 31:37Speaker 1: I do think it's close, but I do think it's
- 31:40Speaker 1: also definitive Like I mean, I think it's a close vote,
- 31:44Speaker 1: but I think it's definitively col.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Yeah, that to me, that feels like it's not I mean,
- 31:51Speaker 4: if it's definitive, I feel like it's not close to me.
- 31:54Speaker 4: It's just there's just too many things that should go
- 31:56Speaker 4: into any most race, and it can be obvious that
- 31:59Speaker 4: you won the race.
- 32:00Speaker 1: You could have a like, you know, a photo finish,
- 32:04Speaker 1: and it can be very obvious who won the race,
- 32:06Speaker 1: but it could still be a close race.
- 32:09Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, if you look at it as a
- 32:10Speaker 4: photo finish, but yeah, you can tell without having to
- 32:13Speaker 4: go down to the super duper slow motion. It just
- 32:17Speaker 4: seems not even close to me, to be honest, It
- 32:19Speaker 4: just because of how valuable it is the po to
- 32:22Speaker 4: play the position that he played plays just doesn't even
- 32:26Speaker 4: seem close to me when you compare that.
- 32:28Speaker 1: All right, Well that's Thursday. We'll be talking about it
- 32:30Speaker 1: a lot the next couple of days, Ashley. What's your
- 32:32Speaker 1: won last thing?
- 32:33Speaker 6: Well, this happened over the weekend, but obviously I didn't.
- 32:35Speaker 5: I don't get to do a one last thing on Mondays,
- 32:38Speaker 5: so I've been saving it. So I just wanted to
- 32:39Speaker 5: give a shout out to dub women's soccer because they
- 32:42Speaker 5: had a very low point and a very high point
- 32:44Speaker 5: all in one week, losing their goalie Mia Hammett to
- 32:47Speaker 5: a tremendously courageous cancer battle, and then going out and
- 32:51Speaker 5: winning the Big Ten championship in penalty kicks. Not every
- 32:55Speaker 5: team in Seattle struggles in penalty kicks. Kidding, kidding, kidding,
- 32:59Speaker 5: kidd from inside the house. So mad, Yeah, no, I'm
- 33:04Speaker 5: sure Jackson was mad at the first game. I'm not
- 33:06Speaker 5: talking about the game three. Their penalty kicks. First game,
- 33:09Speaker 5: there was no excuse to miss those. But we were
- 33:12Speaker 5: talking about you dub soccer. So they will now head
- 33:14Speaker 5: to the Women's College Cup in Kansas City.
- 33:17Speaker 1: But they don't.
- 33:17Speaker 5: It doesn't start un till December fifth, so they've got
- 33:19Speaker 5: a while of practice and waiting and.
- 33:22Speaker 1: We at least that's consistent with the MLS. They have
- 33:25Speaker 1: a weird schedule.
- 33:26Speaker 6: Yeah, wait a month and then play again.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Makes sense? Well, they will they blend in a tournament
- 33:32Speaker 1: or three.
- 33:32Speaker 6: Probably. There's a couple of the books.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I did see who they are.
- 33:37Speaker 6: It was Liberty that they beat Michigan State. No, no, no,
- 33:41Speaker 6: the face Montana.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Montana, Yeah, okay, Montana. I think when I think of Montana,
- 33:46Speaker 1: I think of Liberty.
- 33:47Speaker 6: Yep, and Ryan Divish.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I will close uh with this. Uh,
- 33:54Speaker 1: we were talking earlier. I've referenced this a couple of times,
- 33:57Speaker 1: but Dick Vane's pager and I was just telling Bucky
- 34:03Speaker 1: during the break. I get your thought on this, Like,
- 34:05Speaker 1: I get like the phones that we have and they're marbles.
- 34:10Speaker 1: They're just technological marbles, there's no getting around it. And
- 34:13Speaker 1: I get like how convenient they are for us, and
- 34:18Speaker 1: especially when you have children and you know you're worried
- 34:21Speaker 1: about your you know, your wife's well being, or if
- 34:24Speaker 1: you get stranded on the side of your own well being,
- 34:26Speaker 1: you get stranded on the side of the road. It's
- 34:29Speaker 1: I mean, that is the best thing about these phones.
- 34:34Speaker 1: That said, since I really, since I don't have children,
- 34:37Speaker 1: and since I really don't worry about my own safety.
- 34:41Speaker 7: Uh.
- 34:42Speaker 1: The idea of Dick Fane's pager world. When we you
- 34:46Speaker 1: got home and you went to your answering machine and
- 34:49Speaker 1: you were so excited to have like four messages on
- 34:53Speaker 1: your answering machine. Oh four messages, Yeah, and you played
- 34:59Speaker 1: them back versus, damn it, who's calling me now? I
- 35:02Speaker 1: don't want to talk. I can't talk now. That that
- 35:05Speaker 1: mentality that I have now about getting phone calls because
- 35:09Speaker 1: of this thing, this apparatus right here, versus once upon
- 35:13Speaker 1: a time I used to love coming home to how
- 35:16Speaker 1: many people called me. I don't know what happened. I
- 35:20Speaker 1: don't know what changed, but I blame this thing. Yeah, well,
- 35:22Speaker 1: at one point I did not.
- 35:25Speaker 4: I didn't realize how much I didn't want to be
- 35:29Speaker 4: able to be contacted until I was able to be
- 35:32Speaker 4: contacted exactly.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the best way of putting it right there.
- 35:37Speaker 4: Yeah, this is for outgoing calls, incoming texts, but outgoing
- 35:42Speaker 4: phone calls. I don't know the last time I answered
- 35:44Speaker 4: a phone called it it was like, no, if I
- 35:47Speaker 4: thanks for calling.
- 35:49Speaker 1: But if I was wanting to talk to you right now.
- 35:50Speaker 4: I would have called you or I would have texted you,
- 35:52Speaker 4: probably said, hey, did you want to chat for a minute.
- 35:56Speaker 1: I didn't. I just think Dick Fane's page Your World
- 35:59Speaker 1: where he really needed to know when he got his calls,
- 36:02Speaker 1: so you can get to that. Well, he was either
- 36:05Speaker 1: that or he was selling drugs in college.
- 36:07Speaker 6: Sorry, mister, it's probably the drug aspect. I just don't
- 36:11Speaker 6: know what was going on that makes the most sense.
- 36:13Speaker 1: I don't know what do you need a pager. I
- 36:15Speaker 1: never had a pager. I never did either. I never
- 36:17Speaker 1: did either. Yeah, but that was by that world, Like
- 36:20Speaker 1: if you really had to know your phone calls, that's
- 36:23Speaker 1: what you had it for. If I really need to
- 36:25Speaker 1: know this moment, who's trying to get a hold of me,
- 36:28Speaker 1: I have a pager, and then I can go find
- 36:30Speaker 1: a phone as soon as possible so that I can
- 36:33Speaker 1: call this person back. I didn't have one. I don't
- 36:35Speaker 1: think you're unless you were a drug dealer. I don't
- 36:38Speaker 1: think your life was that important. It might have been.
- 36:39Speaker 1: He might have been the band's rug. I'm going with it. Yeah, yeah,
- 36:42Speaker 1: all right, we'll talk to you tomorrow at six am.
