• 3:12
  Speaker 7: row that I've done this two days off in the
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: middle of the week and then showed up on a
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: football Friday. This is the first week Bucky's done it
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: out of the two. I'm just gonna tell you, prepare
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: yourself for the Monday eiest feeling you've ever had on
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: a Friday.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well that makes sense because last night was
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: very Sunday ish feeling, wasn't it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: I had to remind myself, was I like, I'm like,
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: oh man, what did you dub? I forgot to watch
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: you dub Indiana last night? And I'm like, where is
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: the game? When did they cancel it?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Now it's Sunday. Yeah, I thought it was Sunday.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I after watching all of the playoff games and whatnot,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: kids go to bed and that's usually when Kate and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: now log on for you know, half hour, forty five
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: minutes of a show, maybe maybe a full hour. And yeah,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: yesterday I was really irritating. I'm like, why is Landman
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: not out yet? Why is it not out? And I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: looking at the page and Kate's like, is there a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: new one? And I'm like, oh, no, I guess there's not.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's Thursday, it's not Sunday. Yeah, so's I'm
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: already there. But that's a beautiful thing to feel like
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a Monday, because I guarantee halfway through the show, it's
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: gonna feel like a Friday.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Yes it is.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: It'll be at some point it's gonna feel like a Friday.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: And so it's just that we've just had a lot
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: of Fridays here lately. So anyway, good to be with you,
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: great to have you with us, And certainly we weren't
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: gonna miss this football Friday with the biggest game of
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: the season. Coming up tomorrow night, and of course we'll
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: spend a little time recapping what we watched yesterday as well,
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: so most of the show will be focused on Seahawks
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: forty nine ers Saturday night in Santa Clara. We do
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: have our experts, which we'll go through here in a
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: moment with what's on tap, but I do think we
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: have to start with the college football playoff yesterday, some
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: spectacular stuff, a couple well, one blowout, I would say
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: one blowout and then the other where Oregon's defense was
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: dominant or was Texas Texas offense really just that bad.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: So we'll dive first into the college football playoffs. The
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: final four is set, and I'm not sure a lot
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: of people saw this final four coming. It will be
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: ole Miss taking on Miami next Thursday, and then it'll
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: be Indiana versus Oregon, and then the next step, of course,
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: is the National Championship game. But certainly our New Year's
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: was well mine was spent anyway watching three straight games,
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: you know, twelve straight hours of college football, and it
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: certainly got paid off last night because that George ole
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: Miss game was fantastic.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: That Trinidad Chambliss.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: Wow, what an amazing football college football player that he is.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: And what a remarkable, truly remarkably stunning job by the
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: officials to ruin a good moment.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Seriously right at the end.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: What on earth was that?
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, that is you know, that's like you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: handing a newborn baby to its mother and husband and
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: then all of a sudden the doctor just going you
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: can't have it, yeah, no, not yet, yeah, and then
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna put it over here, and you're too weak
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: to come get.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It from me. By what in the f were they doing?
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, I realized there's a I guess
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: there was a second on the clock, but two different
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: opportunities to I mean, they ruined the whole celebration.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: They ruined it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: I mean, the whole moment was ruined. And you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: unfortunately that's gonna happen with instant.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Replay on occasion.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: But to then not even take a second off the
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: clock on the onside kick recovery, uh, and make them
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: do it all over again.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine?
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: Can you even imagine had Georgia pulled off some ridiculous
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: touchdown after that, that would have been the most crushing
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: defeat in.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: The history of sports.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have been, but I think that was
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: but I mean, to the letter of the rules, that's
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the way it was supposed to be. If they after that,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you know whatever, the lateral that goes out of bound,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: so it's a safety, and then essentially they have to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: do the kickoff and they get the on side kick
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: if if you recover it as a down person, note
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the time the clock doesn't go And so to me,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it was like, oh my god, there actually still is
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a chance. Now, how often do you see that crazy
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: lateral They needed to have a band or something run
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: out on the field is yeah, they should have called
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the band out on the field play. But you know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I mean to me it was I wasn't expecting it
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: to happen. Obviously that would have been crazy, far fetched,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: But oh my gosh, would that have been the biggest turnaround? Yeah?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Would have been the most crushing thing ever for old
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: miss ever in.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: The history of sports.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: Could you imagine like you've taken the championship stage. I mean,
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: I've had some crushing losses playing sports in my life,
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: and I could I could recount them for you, but
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: I won't because they were at the very lower levels.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: But stuff that's still to this day, like I'll wake
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: up in the middle of the night with like night tears.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: I'll still to this day. I can't imagine putting the
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: championship stage out on the middle of the If you're
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: telling the story fifty years from now and then they
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: rolled the championship stage out twice, you know, your great
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: grandkids would absolutely think that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: You're, Oh, you're just blowing smoke, old man.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: Now I'm gonna go if you're not gonna stop lying, Grandpa,
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: I'm going to enter this, you know, time travel and
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: go back to the year nineteen thirty five now, because
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: fifty years.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: From now we'll have time travel. Yeah, that was the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: point of that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: So so yeah, I can't even imagine. I mean, it
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: was just a cluster there towards the end, but it
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: doesn't take away from what was a sensational game and
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: we needed one yesterday. And ole Miss does advance over Georgia.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: And we'll talk more about this Lane Kiffin situation in
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: a moment, because it's getting even more interesting now for
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: the ole Miss program. But I would also say before
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: we start like diving into some other things that happened yesterday,
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: I mean the constant on Twitter like this college football
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: playoffs is this all we're going to get? Or blowouts
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: narrative that you read all of the time. Hey, what
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: the heck is wrong with you people? I mean, this
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: is the point of having a college football playoff because
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: we have a subjective process of trying to determine who's
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: in the tournament. I mean it's you're trying to get
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: as close as you can to getting the best representation
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: out there in America. But there's still some subjectivity, not
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: just to the twelve that get in, but how they're seeded,
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: how they're ranked, who they faced. All of that stuff
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: gets poured into this. And had we gone by the
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: old system, Oregon would not have even made the tournament.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: Texas Tech would have just been assumed that they were
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: better than Oregon, you know. I mean, Miami would not
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: have had a chance to even play Ohio State. And
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: if you want to go back even further to when
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: you had just two teams make it, it would have
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: been Georgia versus Indiana for the national championship.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: That would have been our national championship game. It would
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: have been determined.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: That those two teams look like the best to US,
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: and obviously Georgia doesn't belong anywhere close.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: To the national championship game.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: And if we would have gone back even further, we
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: are going to in my lifetime. By the way, we're
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: just gonna let writers determine who they think is the
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: best and then vote for it. Hey, this process, no
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: matter how flawed it is, no matter how many blowouts
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: we get, is the best and only way to clarify
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: who the best teams in the country are. And Oregon
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: faced Texas Tech and absolutely demolished any hope that they
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: had of getting a first down. And yet if and
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: yet you people that look for anything to complain about
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: are sitting here complaining about blowouts. I'm glad we got
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: the blowouts. I mean, I'd rather have close games, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: at least Bucky I know going into the offseason that
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Texas Tech earned a shot to prove they were the
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: best team in the country, and Oregon earned the shot
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: to have the opportunity to prove no, they're not better
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: than us. And they proved it on Friday. And the
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: same thing. Indiana proved it that Alabama can't hang with it.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: And by the way, SEC, it's proven now you're not
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: heading shoulders above everybody else. It's freaking proven out there
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: right now. So that's a music playing.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: So to me, I mean, this is why we have
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: the college play football player.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: This is why I've wanted it my entire life.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: And for people to sit there and just look for
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: anything to complain about about the process, you have got
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: to be kidding me. What would you like to do?
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Draw the champion out of a hat? I mean, I mean,
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: do you want to go back to those days? I mean,
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: thank god for the college football playoffs?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I ended up having a good conversation with my son
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: last yesterday about because he's just trying to and he
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: doesn't know. He didn't know football at all, you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: and so he's trying to figure out. And I mentioned
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: something like, you know, after the Oregon win, and it
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: was well, they got one more game to get them
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: get a chance to get to the final national championship game.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: And I said, they've never won a national championship in football.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: And he's He's like, huh never, And I said yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: And so then I went into explaining well, for the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: longest time, it was just writers just decided based on
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: what they thought that this is the national champion, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: sometimes it was even co national champion. They couldn't even
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: make up their mind. And then it was okay, we'll
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: just put a couple of teams in. Then it was
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: four teams. And now we've gotten into this to where
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: there's an actual bracket, and he loves brackets. He'll make
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: up a bracket for anything. And so yeah, he gets
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the idea of well that just makes more sense. I mean,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: my eight year old's like, well, that just makes more sense.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Why would you just pick one at the end versus
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: having them play? Because he I said, he goes, so
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: somebody would just decide that you're the national champion without
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: you playing. I said, well, they'd play the regular season
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and then at the end, without playing each other, they'd
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: just say, yep, you are the best team. Here's trophy.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: And he goes, well, that's not even earned. That's my
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: eight year old. So yeah, college football, it took you
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: one hundred years to figure out that it wasn't really
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: earned if you just write somebody's name in that at
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the end. So I'm with you. I I mean, I
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: like the idea of the little guys. There's some tinkering
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that needs to be done. Still, I think I'm okay
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: with the idea that they're gonna they're gonna make some
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: adjustments to this chair, because I.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Do think adjust Miami made.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as much as I can't stand Miami for one reason,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: one reason only, they most certainly deserve to be in there. Miami, Oregon,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and Old Miss would not even have been in the
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: tournament under just the most previous rule setting, and yet
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: there are three of the final four that get into it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I think that there's there's a reason why you need
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to have, you know, more than just four teams. I'm
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: glad that they're doing it this way. It doesn't Texas
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Tech was better, a better team over the course of
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the season than they looked yesterday. They just they didn't
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: look good. And to some degree, I'll give some credit
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: to Oregon. Another degree, they just did didn't play very well.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: They didn't play as good as they they could have.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: That quarterback.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: I can say this because I know he's not listening.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: He's in Lubbock, Texas right now. He should have been
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: crying after the game. That I mean, because you I've
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: never seen an offense let down its defense.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And maybe I'm a prisoner of the moment.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: But I'm gonna go ahead and make the statement anyway,
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: I've never seen an offense let down a defense more
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: than what Texas Tech offense.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oregon going for it eight thousand times on fourth
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: down and not getting it most of the time set
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: them up to where it's like, Okay, now here's your chance.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: They gave you a chance, gave the offense a chance,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech offense a chance to go down and do something.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: They just could not get it done. And I don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: give that all that credit to the Ducks. I mean,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I think they played well defensively, play really well, but
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I don't I think that there was a lot of
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: just mistakes made by Texas Tech. And yeah, they're going
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: to have some hard night sleep in that quarterback.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: Quarterback played scared and it was he wasn't even the
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: biggest problem that was that coordinator.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know who he is. He better not have
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a job tomorrow.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know, you just had the best season
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: in program history, but that guy does not know what
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: he's doing. That was terrible by by Texas Tech. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: so I mean it's one thing like here's here's what
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: I truly didn't understand about Texas Tech's approach is that
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: they were they they slowed it down a little bit
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: in the second half, but in the first half they
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: were all about the hurry up, and they just kept
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: making mistake after mistake after mistake.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you're not being effective, the last thing
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you should do is rush through it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: Because it's one thing to not score, it's another thing
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: to give the other team the ball, well the ball
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: back period and with a short field to have to
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: overcome and then at least at least chew up more
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: than a minute, so your defense, which is playing its
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: ass off, can at least have a little bit of
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: time to recover before it has to come back in
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: and carry your ass all day long. So it's like,
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: we're not only going to fail and cataclysmic ways, we're
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: gonna hurry through it. Imagine if you just hired somebody
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: to build your house and you're like, man, you're not
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: very good at this, and they're like, yeah, but I'm
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: gonna get it done in no time.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And I don't want you too. This is my house.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: I want a nice house, But slow down and build
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: it the right way. If you're not going to be
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: effective at it. At least give yourself a chance. Don't
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: rush through the damn project.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Well, in construction there actually most contracts tell you I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: can do it cheap, I can do it faster, I
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: can do it well. Pick two, pick two, Yeah you
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: don't get all three. Yeah, you don't get cheap, fast
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: and done well. So yeah, they were basically they were
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: doing it the cheap way and the fast way, but
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: they let they would have probably better off, been better
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: off to do it well. And yet yeah, it was
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: it was an unfortunate game for them. It was not
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: one even though the score twenty three to zero, it
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: was not that it was not that far. It kind
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: of got it kind of got blown out a little
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: bit more there later on in the fourth quarter. It
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: was one of those majority of the game you were like, man,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: you were just going to give him another chance. And
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: that Baron, which he just spelled your kid's name wrong,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: that's on his parents. Yeah, that was the thing Baron
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: was talking about the full time. He's like, why would
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: he spell his name like that? Like it wasn't his choice, son,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Like you didn't get a choice either. He's like, Batron Betran,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I don't like it. So, yeah, it was an interesting
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: thing to say the least. But I'm pretty happy that
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: that one team advanced.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well they earned it, There's that's for sure. And
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: that's I'm glad we have a college football playout to
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: determine these things now. There's no way to figure it out.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Too many teams that scared it out all over the country.
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: There's no way they can all play each other. That's
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: why we've needed a college football playoff since jump and
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: and and. Yeah, there have been a couple of blowouts,
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: and there are a couple of things wrong with the process,
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: but we are close to being right than we've ever
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: been in the history of the sports. So please stop
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: complaining about some lopsided games. The lopsided games indicate to
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: us who really does deserve to move on in the
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: champion You know, does anybody in Alabama right now think
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: they got screwed over?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: We should be advancing.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I would not think so.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I would not think so. No, just got hammered.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: They're gonna beat you by one hundred Yeah, I.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Mean I had more touchdown passes than incompletions.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: But going into that game, if people everywhere, Indiana's gonna
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: about ready to get exposed.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: They don't know what it's like to face SEC competition.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Here we go, and had Alabama not made the playoff,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: what would we have been in, Harry, Alabama should be
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: in this tournament.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no way, they're not one of the best. Well,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you just got hammered by a thousand points by a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: team from Bloomington, Indiana. So live with that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wear that one, Kaylen arrogant a holes.
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: rest the show'll be.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: What's on Tech?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: What's Ontech? All right?
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Final four set Miami versus Ole Miss four to thirty
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: on Thursday, Oregon versus Indiana four thirty on Friday of
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: next week. They won't have to wait till more than
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: a week to play their next game. Well, actually, I
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: guess two of them will Ole Miss thirty nine thirty
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: four over Georgia, Indiana thirty eight three over Alabama, Oregon
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: twenty three nothing over Texas Tech, and Miami won twenty
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: four fourteen over Ohio State on New Year's Eve.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, just in case.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: You're wondering if college football has a few things to fix,
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: the College Football Portal opens today. Does that makes sense
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: today with the three most important games of the season
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: still yet to be played. Now, these teams all miss
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: coaches that are going with Lane Kiffin did not fly home.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: With the team yesterday. They went to LSU to prepare
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: for the poor. Oh that makes sense, doesn't it. Yeah,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: that's great. We'll get it fixed. We'll get it fixed.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: NFL Week number eighteen will start Saturday with a fantastic
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: double header Carolina at Tampa one thirty to determine maybe
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: the champion will yeah, it will one way or the
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: other be part of it. One thirty kickoff for that
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: the champion of the AFC or the NFC South Division,
• 21:24

• 21:28
  Speaker 7: going to be the primary focus of our show today.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: Seahawks at forty nine Ers tomorrow at five o'clock. Charles
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: Cross is officially out for that game and his.
• 21:37

• 21:42
  Speaker 7: today and see what we've got going on on that front.
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: Sunday Night football will be Baltimore at Pittsburgh. Lamar Jackson

• 21:55
  Speaker 7: And that one will determine the AFC North champion in
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: the final spot in the AFC playoffs. Cracking won last
• 22:01

• 22:19
  Speaker 7: We'll have the Friday ocho and more coming up next.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: What's playing better right now? The Seahawks defense or the
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: forty nine ers offense? We'll discuss it. Chuckin' Buck with
• 22:29

• 23:16
  Speaker 2: You might want to he has a USA Soccer hat on.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: He might mean, I think you mean that kind of football?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Is that way? You met football.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Like when he says, who's ready for some football grid
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: iron or soccer?
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Both those?
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: Does oh boy, Bucky, are you ready for I'm ready
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: for some football, some highly consequential football.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: An American football, some brit On.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And some soccer.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: Later, I wasn't even trying to bring that in that
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: this was all you.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: I wore a hat, that's it, thank you.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Soccer really stands out, so first I was like, I
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: don't like it. Then I saw the US behind that
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: him like I du.
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: Like, it's the old school logo, a forty Niners suck hat.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of hates.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Around there hate.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Well, we're here on a football Friday for a reason.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: It is to get you ready for tomorrow night Seahawks
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: taking on the forty nine ers. Of course, Greg Bell
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: will be with us at seven o five, Hugh millin
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: X's and O's at nine o'clock, Mike Holmgrian at nine thirty,
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: and all sorts of juicy little bits to discuss in between.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: And really, I mean, you know, I think that football
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: fans see great offense and they just think that is
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: you know, that team's just playing great. Forty nine Ers
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: offense is playing great there's no getting around it. I mean,
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: rock party, I've questioned at times, dudes on fire right now.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: Christian McCaffrey might not be the you know, yardage gainer
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: that he's been on the ground throughout most of his
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: Maybe there is a little something missing either from him
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: or the offensive line, but certainly, with over two thousand
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: yards of total offense, he is as dangerous as a
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: weapon that the National Football League has. And so they're
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: flying high right now offensively. But I think on the
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: flip side, I think the Seahawks are playing just as
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: good a defense right now as the forty nine ers
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: are offense. It just doesn't look as pretty, it doesn't
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: look as sexy. And so there was a lot of well,
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Seahawks are on a beat to forty nine ers playing
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: that way kind of talk coming out of last week.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: And yet I think, you know, I think.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: It does go overlooked how damaging a great defense can be.
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, we just watched it yesterday in the College
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: Football Playoff. I mean that day was dominated by defense.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: The night was dominated by offense, but the day both
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: the early games was dominated by physicality and defense in
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: the College Football Playoff, And so they're the wise guys
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: and and some of the experts that are chiming in
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: late here in the week. Feels to me like a
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: lot of people are picking the Seahawks right now because
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: they recognize it. Even if the general public thinks only
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: great offense is when you're playing good.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Football, I think that there's I mean, you know how
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I am. I have a tendency, and it's probably not
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: good for sports talk radio. I have a tendency to
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: look at things almost through like a curve of what
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: brings it back to the median, what brings it back.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: So it's like, yeah, I'll look at the Niners and
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: how they've put up thirty seven and forty eight and
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: forty two points the last three weeks after they're they
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: had the late bye week, and then the offense, and
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Brock Purty and Kyle Shanahan has basically said, wait a second,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: we got a chance at the number one seed, and
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: you know, we got a bunch of injuries, but those
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: that aren't injured, Christian McCaffrey and Brock purties back and
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: let's go out and ball out and see what we
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: can do and put up crazy numbers offensively. Now their
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: their defense is given up a bunch at the same
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: time because of those injuries that that they've sustained on
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: that side of the ball. But then to me, it's like,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: my natural instinct is, okay, well you played Tennessee, and
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: you know Daniel Jones lists Indianapolis and then Chicago. Chicago's legit.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: But that's where it was that shootout basically with it
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: being so close and nearly eighty points or eighty points
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: being scored between the two of them. So it just
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: makes me go, Okay, I can see why the I
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: can see why the pundits go out there and are like,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: look at this offense. But I think going into this
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: game you most certainly have most people would sit and
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: go that offense is legit, but look how who they're
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: going to be going up against, and and so to me,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: this whole thing, and I know we'll get into, you know,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: more as this show goes on, especially next segment with
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the c no cliche keys to victory, But to me,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: it's that other side then soloversus Clint Kubiak, you know,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: because you are going to have that the prime thing
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: that everybody's going to be invested in watching is Mike
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: McDonald how does he slow down? You know, Kyle Shanahan,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: those two minds going against each other. That's why he
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: was hired for crying out loud, I think is to
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: try to slow him down. Well, now you got a
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: kind of all the chips are on the table type
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: of a game, and we're going to get to see
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: how that hood thing pans out.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: I think it's a really good point, and it probably
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: is what's going to determine the outcome of the game.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: As you know.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: Will the Seahawks offense look better than what it has
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: in the last couple of weeks, because I think they
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: have looked their worst here going into this big game,
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: and will the forty nine Ers defense be able to
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: show it up. Maybe it will come down to whether
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: or not Sam Donald can go back to revert to
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: playing like he did in the first half of the season.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Maybe the game does come down to that. But it's
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: very interesting because coming out of that last week, it was,
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: you know, forty nine Ers look fantastic.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: How are you gonna.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: Beat the forty nine Ers playing the way that Sam
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: Darnold's playing right now? Well, it's because the Seahawks play
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: just as good a defense as the forty nine Ers
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: are playing on the offensive side of the ball, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: they started as a four and a half point favorite when.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: The week began.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: Well guess what, Seahawks are a point and a half
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: favorite right now. Vegas understands that great defense is real
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: and great defense can wreck things, and so yeah, maybe
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: it does come down to who's playing better the Seahawks
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: defense or the forty nine ers offense, or maybe it
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: comes down to the other side, the two areas that
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: have not shined here recently, and who will actually play
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: better the Seahawks offense or the forty nine ers defense.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Well, ultimately it's it's the difference between the two, right,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're I would be willing to bet that
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: this Niners, as much as they've been high flying on offense, there,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I don't see him going out there and putting up
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: four forty plus points. I just don't. I think there's
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: just too much on the line. There's gonna be a conservativeness.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: It's going to be going on on both sides, right
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: or wrong, and so I don't see that happening. It
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: is going to come down to a porous defense with
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: the Niners versus an offense that can shown times of
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: being explosive. And this is the number two scoring offense
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in all of football, the Seahawks, And yet we're watching
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: you know, Sam Darnold not play as well as he
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: has majority of the season, and them do slow starts,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: and so the feel of the game could change. It
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: could you're not gonna win or lose the game in
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: the first quarter, but boy, it could make it a
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: really different way of looking at it and the way
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: that they might have to attack. And so yeah, it's
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: it's okay, if the defense can slow down their offense enough, fine,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: but then can your offense go and take advantage of
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: their poress defense enough to where you know, you don't
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: expect the Seahawks or you don't you know, you're not
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: asking them to go out there and throw a shutout
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: by any stretch. Imagine it is because I don't see
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: that happening either.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: Man, I mean, if you're playing hockey for goodness sake,
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: and you're struggling scoring the puck, if you've got a
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: goalie that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Doesn't get anything up, yeah, you don't have to do
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: There's a reason why they say once you get into
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: the Stanley Cup playoffs that you get a hot goaltender.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Watch out.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: How about starting pitching in baseball?
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: Starting pitching in baseball, If you're not allowing runs, you
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: don't even need to be clicking on all cylinders on
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: the other side of the ball.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it'll be fascinating, no question about it.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: But but yes, there's an absolute acknowledgment that forty nine
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: ers offense is probably playing its best football right now.
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: But I would argue that Mike McDonald's Seahawk defense is
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: playing its best football right now as well. So what
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: a clash we're going to have for tomorrow night? Coming
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: up next? Our no cliche keys the victory. We do
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: it before every Seahawks game. Sports Radio ninety three point
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: three KJRFM. Ah Yes, every Friday, you're no cliche keys
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: to victory here at six forty five before Greg Bell
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: comes on and starts acting all smarty pants and tells
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: us what the real key to victory is.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Going to be at seven o five.
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: So that's coming your way, our Seahawks insider, push your
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: headlines at the top of the hour. But the no
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: cliche keys to victory are our keys individually. We can
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: only have one, and it can't be a cliche. Don't
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: tell me winning the trenches. Don't tell me all three phases.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Don't tell me the turnover battle unless you've got a
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: really specific reason as to why that is going to
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: be the difference in the game. Uh so Andrews is
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: here filling in for Ashley today, Bucky, you need to
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: show Andrews he might have forgotten better.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, better not have forgotten No cliches. I'll tell you what.
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: Pretty easy self explainatory, right, well, I would say sometimes
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: you will stumble right into one accidentally.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Although Ashley gives a cliche pretty much everything.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: True if you got if you got a good explanation
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: for it, fine, But I'm just as sick.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I've joked about Sam Donald. He's got like a ginger beard,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: but he's kind of more brown hair on his head.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: He needs to channel the ginger. Oh yeah, he needs
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: to because that's when he's playing his best. It's you
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: just see a vibrant the beard is Wow, he's very
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: ginger right on. Really in all serious Sam Donald just
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: needs to play the way that he's that he has
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: majority of the season. To me, because I think that
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald versus Kyle Shanahan is gonna be a knockdown,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: drag out fight. And yet they're they're gonna win some
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: possessions and get some points, and they're gonna they're gonna
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: probably get, you know, plenty of three and outs and
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: and force some punts and and so it's just gonna
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: boil down to Sam, don't play down right, don't be
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: that one that goes backwards and you're relying on the
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: defense to make some big plays or score points on defense.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: You just go out and do what you're supposed to be.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Smart at times, push the ball down the field. You've
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: been very successful at that. You're gonna they're gonna call
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: some run plays, and so hopefully the run game supports
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: you to where you're not having third and lungs and
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: you're feeling like you gotta fit it in mailboxes left
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: and right. But just be smart, Just be your There's
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold that that came out and was young and
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: played for the Jets and wasn't very good, and then
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: he has learned and grown and turned into something that
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: was great last year with Minnesota, and he carried that
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: over majority of this season, with the exception of a
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: couple of games that he just made some poor decisions
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: and let his team down. To me, it's just just
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: be you, dude. You don't got to be over the top.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: You most certainly don't need to be passive and scared,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: and don't make a mistake. Fit it in there every
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: once in a while, but make certain decisions. Right when
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: you've got points on the board, you're already knocking on
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the door of a touchdown, you don't throw picks there. Uh,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: And if you're backed up against your own end zone,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: you don't throw picks. And you protect the ball if
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: you if you feel some heat coming, you make sure
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: that that ball doesn't come loose right there. So to me,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: it's just play the way that you've played majority this year.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Don't think you're going to do something spectacular, because I
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: think your defense is going to keep you in it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: But don't be scared either. Just go out there and
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: play kind of care free and let it rip.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Sam Darnold, the Bucky's key.
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: Be good, Sam, Yes, be good to stender, Sam be ginger,
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: Sam m.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I like that, all right, Andrews. What's your no cliche
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: key to victory?
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: Well? I like what Bucky said, and I'm gonna just
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: take it even more specific and while this, if this
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: doesn't happen, you could definitely still win the game. I
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: think this was something they were doing when the offense
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: was very successful. And it's the first drive scores. You
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: need to score on your first drive. You need to
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: have an effective drive offensively on your first drive. I
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: don't care if that's a field goal. Just show you
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: can move the ball a little bit, get some confidence,
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: but just make sure you have a game plan going
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: in to that first drive, because that is not what
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: happened against Carolina was just pass pass pass, instantly three
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: and out off the rip.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: And it's just and you're talking about the first drive
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: of the game, not the second half.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Correct typically waited for it exactly exactly.
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: So that's that's where I'm like, I think, if you
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: do what I'm doing, you will get the ginger Sam
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: Darnold too later in the game.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: So I like that.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's maybe something that's gone a little
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: bit overlooked at least on this show. Part of our
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: conversations just the for whatever reason, this team just plays
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: their worst offense in the first half. Get off to
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: a good start, get some rhythm going and see where
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: the offense can go for four quarters if you actually
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: play the first two fairly well, I like it weird,
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: all right, I'm gonna go my no cliche key to victory,
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: and man, this really is bordering on a cliche because
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: it gets used a lot when talking about football games
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: and keys to victories.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: But the whole.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: Establishing the run, you know line, which normally I think
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: it's gets a little bit overdone. But per our conversation
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: we just had about the forty nine Ers offense versus
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks defense, I think Seahawks defense is so good
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: that there's no way the forty nine Ers offense is
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: going to be what it's been as of late. But
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: also the forty nine Ers offense has been so good
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: there's no way that the Seahawks are going to sit
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: there and hold him thirteen points either. So you're gonna
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: have to come up with twenty points or more, I think,
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: in order to win this football game tomorrow night. And
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: I don't think you're going to do that by just
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: purely relying on Sam Donald dropbacks and play actions, especially
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: when his blind side is so questionable right now with
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: cross being out and Jones at the very best being
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: limited and so I think to take some heat off
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: of Sam Donald, you got to get this running game
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: going a little bit.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And if ken Walker is, I mean, he gets my
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: first shot at it. And I would like for you
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: to actually run the ball this week to where the
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: play's designed to go.
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: And if you can't do that, then Charbonna's coming off
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: the best game he's played as a as a seahawk.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: In my opinion, I've got shortleashow you. We've got to
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: get this running game established. We've got to not be
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: one dimensional, otherwise Robert Salah will torture us the entire game.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: So I rarely do this. I don't know if I've
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: ever done this. Established the run, Oh.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Wow, I think all three of us kind of ty
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: into each.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Establish the run, all right. Coming up next, Greg Bell,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: he does that a lot. By the way. That's established
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: run established y seven oh five.
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: Greg Bell will join his plus Your Headline Sports Radio
