Speaker 1: Monday.
1:06
Speaker 3: Count you down to the very second that the five
1:08
Speaker 3: to fifteen pm kickoff of Monday Night football takes place.
1:12
Speaker 3: The Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons were tied at six
1:15
Speaker 3: at halftime in Atlanta, Georgia, and then all of a sudden,
1:19
Speaker 3: the Seahawks pulled away, and pulled away quickly. Rashid Shaheed's
1:23
Speaker 3: kick return for a touchdown set the tone in the
1:26
Speaker 3: second half, a second half that the Seahawks outscored Atlanta
1:30
Speaker 3: thirty one to three to win by a final score
1:33
Speaker 3: of thirty seven to nine and improved to ten and
1:36
Speaker 3: three on the season. The Cupcakes might be done with
1:40
Speaker 3: though next week the Indianapolis Colts, who though might now
1:44
Speaker 3: be without Daniel Jones or will be certainly will be
1:47
Speaker 3: without Daniel Jones as he had an achilles injury yesterday
1:51
Speaker 3: and is going to miss the rest of the season.
1:54
Speaker 3: Also from the National Football League, yesterday, the Los Angeles
1:57
Speaker 3: Rams forty five seventeen winners over the Arizona Cardinals, so
2:01
Speaker 3: the Rams and Seahawks both tied at ten and three
2:04
Speaker 3: atop the division.
2:05
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers were on buy this week.
2:07
Speaker 3: They are a full game back now in the NFC West,
2:11
Speaker 3: the loaded NFC West. Elsewhere, the Winter meetings got underway
2:15
Speaker 3: last night. Major League Baseball, the Mariners did pull off
2:18
Speaker 3: a trade over the weekend sending prospect Harry Ford to
2:21
Speaker 3: the Washington Nationals in exchange for left handed reliever jose
2:25
Speaker 3: A Farrer. We'll talk more about that coming up at
2:27
Speaker 3: seven point thirty here today.
2:30
Speaker 1: Also, there was Katel Marte.
2:35
Speaker 3: Returning to Seattle, rumors floating around out there as well.
2:39
Speaker 3: And the Kraken will be in action tonight against the
2:41
Speaker 3: Minnesota Wild the crack and really need a victory. They
2:44
Speaker 3: will drop the puck on that game at seven o'clock.
2:46
Speaker 3: But perhaps the most interesting topic today is the college
2:50
Speaker 3: football playoff controversy. The rankings came out yesterday morning and
2:55
Speaker 3: Notre Dame, after being in the top ten for five
3:00
Speaker 3: consecutive weeks, when the actual college football rankings came out,
3:05
Speaker 3: Notre Dame did not make the cut. Joining us now
3:08
Speaker 3: to talk about that and many other things. Former dub
3:11
Speaker 3: head coach and now he's a big fancy analyst on
3:15
Speaker 3: one of the big networks. Joining us is Chris Peterson
3:18
Speaker 3: on Chuck and Buck in the Mornings.
3:20
Speaker 2: Good morning, coach, Good morning guys. I think you're overstating
3:25
Speaker 2: it as a big fancy analyst, a bit.
3:28
Speaker 3: Much super fancy, a your sheer fancy up there on
3:32
Speaker 3: the set you do a great job. I mean I
3:35
Speaker 3: missed you coaching, but you do a great job there.
3:39
Speaker 2: You know. I love football. I just still can't stomach
3:44
Speaker 2: to watch one of my teams play. I like to
3:46
Speaker 2: watch everybody else's teams play and have a lot of
3:48
Speaker 2: answer sitting on the sidelines.
3:52
Speaker 3: I made my living that way, coach, just not investing
3:56
Speaker 3: any skin in the game, but having loud ass opinions
3:59
Speaker 3: all the time.
4:00
Speaker 5: That's you.
4:00
Speaker 1: Just you just describe me.
4:03
Speaker 2: You know, it's not a bad gig. I kind of
4:05
Speaker 2: been missing this all year, all my life.
4:09
Speaker 1: You made a lot more money than I do, though.
4:12
Speaker 3: All right, well, let's talk about the college football playoff.
4:16
Speaker 3: I don't really want to steer you in any direction.
4:18
Speaker 3: Let me just ask you just an overall question. What
4:21
Speaker 3: was your reaction to seeing the college football playoff seedings yesterday?
4:26
Speaker 3: What's your biggest takeaway from it?
4:30
Speaker 2: Oh? My gosh, I mean I just continually shake my head,
4:36
Speaker 2: scratch my head. You know, I've been saying this forever,
4:40
Speaker 2: Like the games on Saturday for college football are spectacular.
4:45
Speaker 2: It's just awesome. But behind the scenes, you know, Sunday.
4:51
Speaker 6: Through Friday in the off season, it is just complete
4:55
Speaker 6: chaos and this is just another you know, step along
5:01
Speaker 6: the way to that chaos.
5:02
Speaker 2: And you know, I think we all know since twenty
5:05
Speaker 2: twenty when the pandemic kicked, everything changed in normal life
5:10
Speaker 2: and in college football, from you know, nil to the
5:13
Speaker 2: re alignment, to the portal, to firings with the huge buyouts,
5:19
Speaker 2: and now we have the you know, the CFP drama.
5:23
Speaker 2: What I actually thought about the selection yesterday was for
5:28
Speaker 2: what the committee was given, they got it right. I
5:33
Speaker 2: really like Notre Dame. I mean they I like Marcus Freeman.
5:37
Speaker 2: I think Notre Dame could have made a run in
5:39
Speaker 2: this thing. But at the end of the day, when
5:43
Speaker 2: Miami and Notre Dame were ranked so close to each
5:48
Speaker 2: other in almost all the metrics and in the final rankings,
5:53
Speaker 2: I don't see how you could put Notre Dame in
5:57
Speaker 2: over Miami if it comes to that they played head
6:01
Speaker 2: to head Like as a coach, I have a hard
6:03
Speaker 2: time with that walking in to the to the team
6:07
Speaker 2: room and saying, yeah, we beat them. Yeah. Everything else
6:10
Speaker 2: is the saying, but we're not going That makes no
6:13
Speaker 2: sense to me. So you know the fact that ESPN
6:18
Speaker 2: has this show and they do it because they make
6:21
Speaker 2: money and drama, and they have it every week, and
6:25
Speaker 2: they had Miami after Notre Dame beat them and then
6:28
Speaker 2: they lost another game. So far apart in the rankings.
6:31
Speaker 2: But as the season was changing and Miami got better
6:34
Speaker 2: and they started winning more and they got close in
6:37
Speaker 2: the rankings, it looked so awkward that they were so
6:40
Speaker 2: far apart. But by the end of this regular season,
6:43
Speaker 2: they're sitting right next to each other and they probably
6:45
Speaker 2: did the right thing.
6:47
Speaker 7: Yep, I'm with you. I mean, I agree with you
6:50
Speaker 7: on that part. I mean I was last week at
6:53
Speaker 7: some point last week. I bet this is long before
6:56
Speaker 7: we thought or knew that we were going to have
6:57
Speaker 7: you on, and I was just thinking myself, Chris Peterson
7:00
Speaker 7: would figure out how to how to get all this
7:03
Speaker 7: stuff right now. Let's just make him the commissioner, get
7:06
Speaker 7: rid of the whole committee. We'll just let you do
7:08
Speaker 7: it all on your own. Probably be a pay bump
7:10
Speaker 7: if you just take over all of college football.
7:15
Speaker 5: No thanks, too big of a headache.
7:18
Speaker 7: I'm with you, but you just kind of talked about
7:20
Speaker 7: some of these headaches that we talk about all season,
7:22
Speaker 7: and the coaching, you know, coaches leaving and leaving contracts
7:26
Speaker 7: on the table and buy outs and transfer portal. But
7:28
Speaker 7: just sticking to kind of the topic djure at this
7:31
Speaker 7: point in time, I mean, is there a change if
7:34
Speaker 7: you were the czar of the college football playoff, would
7:37
Speaker 7: you want to have? I like having an underdog having
7:40
Speaker 7: a chance at this thing. If they are unbelievably exceptional,
7:43
Speaker 7: they don't lose. They go out there and just say, hey,
7:46
Speaker 7: you got to give us a chance against the big dogs.
7:48
Speaker 5: But do you like having two of them in there? No,
7:52
Speaker 5: not at all.
7:52
Speaker 2: And I'm one of those guys that came from a place,
7:55
Speaker 2: as you know, right, we had to scratch and claw
7:57
Speaker 2: to get a chance. But you know again, and they're
8:01
Speaker 2: kind of figuring this out as we go. Like last
8:05
Speaker 2: year they ended up giving ASU and Boise State buys in,
8:11
Speaker 2: you know, in the in the tournament, and no one
8:13
Speaker 2: really felt that was the right thing, so they tweaked
8:16
Speaker 2: it this year. This year, I don't think anyone's feeling
8:19
Speaker 2: good about number twenty Tulane and number twenty four JM.
8:24
Speaker 2: You both getting in over Notre Dame BYU Vandy. You know,
8:31
Speaker 2: so there's gonna be some tweaking coming to that. I
8:34
Speaker 2: just hope there's not an overreaction where you're not given
8:38
Speaker 2: this group of five, group of six a chance to
8:41
Speaker 2: go compete for this. But you can you can feel
8:44
Speaker 2: the change coming on this because this doesn't feel right
8:47
Speaker 2: as well.
8:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, just make the adjustments, as you said. Don't think
8:51
Speaker 3: that the answer is, oh, we got to expand to
8:52
Speaker 3: twenty four. I mean, we just can't keep everybody happy.
8:55
Speaker 3: You know, give the twelve team format a little bit
8:58
Speaker 3: of time and that's make our adjustments as necessary.
9:03
Speaker 1: And I'm with you.
9:03
Speaker 3: I mean, and this is coming from a guy that
9:05
Speaker 3: built Boise Stayed into a national power, and he's saying
9:09
Speaker 3: we shouldn't have two.
9:10
Speaker 1: And I couldn't agree with you more.
9:11
Speaker 3: Chris Peterson is with us, of course, former ub ED
9:14
Speaker 3: coach and now college football analyst for Fox Sports. Great
9:18
Speaker 3: to have them on here on the programs. Talk about
9:20
Speaker 3: this college football playoff controversy. You mentioned before that they
9:24
Speaker 3: got it right the committee by putting Miami ahead of
9:28
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. What about Alabama coach? I mean, I realize
9:33
Speaker 3: not penalizing someone too much because they earned an extra game,
9:38
Speaker 3: but considering how closely Notre Dame, Alabama, Miami all seemed
9:43
Speaker 3: to be ranked by committee standards heading into this weekend.
9:46
Speaker 3: Didn't that third loss provide the opportunity for you to
9:50
Speaker 3: bump Alabama out and put Miami and Notre Dame both
9:53
Speaker 3: into the tournament?
9:55
Speaker 2: Okay, another awkward thing with college football right now is
10:00
Speaker 2: the conference championship games. Right, some of them are really good.
10:05
Speaker 2: I mean the Ohio State Indiana, I mean, was that
10:09
Speaker 2: not spectacular? And it was a low scoring game. Usually
10:12
Speaker 2: low scoring games aren't that spectacular, but that was spectacular.
10:16
Speaker 2: And then you go to Alabama Georgia. You're like, this
10:19
Speaker 2: is kind of awkward that Alabama already went there had
10:23
Speaker 2: the best win to me in all of college football
10:28
Speaker 2: this season. That was the best win when Alabama went
10:30
Speaker 2: into Georgia and beat them. And then you have the
10:33
Speaker 2: most awkward one with Duke playing Virginia and you're like, oh,
10:38
Speaker 2: what is going to happen here if Duke wins? And
10:42
Speaker 2: so that's you know, that's another problem there. I mean,
10:46
Speaker 2: it's just it's again a hard situation. What are you
10:49
Speaker 2: going to do? You're going to really punish somebody that
10:53
Speaker 2: had the best win of the season, they're playing them
10:55
Speaker 2: for the second time, and you know, it's just like
11:00
Speaker 2: you don't want to punish a team that's going to
11:03
Speaker 2: like play for a league championship and knock them all
11:06
Speaker 2: the way out. I thought, you know, the SEC is
11:08
Speaker 2: a rough neighborhood, and those guys had about four games
11:14
Speaker 2: that they're playing four or five all ranked teams at
11:16
Speaker 2: the time, and they're navigating this pretty darn well. And
11:20
Speaker 2: so I didn't have a problem leaving leaving Alabama in
11:24
Speaker 2: this whole thing. I find I felt it would have
11:26
Speaker 2: even maybe a little awkward to bounce them out, you know,
11:29
Speaker 2: going to a championship game. But this is the bottom line.
11:33
Speaker 2: There is going to be no perfect way when you
11:36
Speaker 2: have one hundred and forty three teams in college football
11:41
Speaker 2: buying for this and you're trying to give access and
11:44
Speaker 2: you know we're talking about you know, some leagues, it's
11:47
Speaker 2: apples to oranges, and it's just it's not the same.
11:50
Speaker 2: But you're trying to make it right. So there's going
11:52
Speaker 2: to always be a little bit of awkwardness. But in
11:55
Speaker 2: my opinion too, this is the beauty of college football.
11:59
Speaker 2: Everybody's like, get rid of the committee, hate the committee.
12:03
Speaker 2: I don't see how you can do that, And you
12:04
Speaker 2: got to embrace it and I think if we make
12:07
Speaker 2: some changes moving forward and tweak it so okay, learned
12:11
Speaker 2: on that one, we're not doing that again, it can
12:13
Speaker 2: get better.
12:14
Speaker 5: I'm with you.
12:15
Speaker 7: I mean, I think Chuck and I differ a little
12:17
Speaker 7: bit on the expansion idea. And yet to me, I mean,
12:22
Speaker 7: I'm not in a hurry to break this thing and
12:25
Speaker 7: try to change it all together. And yet some of
12:28
Speaker 7: the tweaks I would wonder if you would agree with,
12:32
Speaker 7: no matter what happens if you expand it to sixteen.
12:35
Speaker 7: Let's just say, if you're gonna have somebody that's at
12:37
Speaker 7: seventeen and they're gonna be upset that they're not, so
12:39
Speaker 7: you're right, there's nothing that's going to be perfect. But
12:41
Speaker 7: to me, the idea of making it to where maybe
12:43
Speaker 7: it's your top six teams that are there automatically in
12:47
Speaker 7: and then you have a ten team playoff to figure
12:49
Speaker 7: out the rest or something like that, where it's it's
12:52
Speaker 7: almost like a play in, a play in type of
12:54
Speaker 7: a game. Do you think there's anything to that, because
12:57
Speaker 7: once you start getting down below, you know, sixteen teams,
13:01
Speaker 7: all of a sudden it's Virginia. Do you really deserve
13:03
Speaker 7: to be in? Or you know, Georgia Tech, did you
13:06
Speaker 7: really deserve to be in after three losses in the ACC?
13:08
Speaker 2: Oh?
13:08
Speaker 7: I think that there's a bigger or a more valid
13:11
Speaker 7: argument as to why some of these teams will be
13:13
Speaker 7: on the outside looking in when you expand it just
13:15
Speaker 7: a little bit further than twelve.
13:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I agree with you one hundred percent
13:20
Speaker 2: on that. I mean, I think we should go slow.
13:23
Speaker 2: You know, we tweak it from the things we learned
13:26
Speaker 2: this year and see what that looks like if it
13:28
Speaker 2: does go to sixteen. You know, eventually that could you know,
13:32
Speaker 2: there's some merit there. I think the play on games
13:35
Speaker 2: are interesting. There could be a lot of drama, which
13:40
Speaker 2: is what I mean.
13:41
Speaker 6: That's college football right now. Right.
13:43
Speaker 2: I keep joking with our guys at Fox that, you
13:46
Speaker 2: know the Fansville commercial of Doctor Pepper. Yeah, you know,
13:49
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. I just chuckle those commercials
13:51
Speaker 2: and get a kick out of them. Now they're not
13:53
Speaker 2: dramatic enough. Like college football fan though, There's more drama
13:58
Speaker 2: going on in those than the cover. So I think
14:01
Speaker 2: another thing. I think another thing that you know, and
14:06
Speaker 2: again the networks would have to get on board with this.
14:09
Speaker 2: But like I think the college football season needs to
14:14
Speaker 2: start earlier. I think we need to start in the
14:17
Speaker 2: you know, two weeks earlier in August. Everybody's dying for
14:22
Speaker 2: football at that point anyways, and I really think this
14:26
Speaker 2: whole thing needs to be done by early January. January first,
14:31
Speaker 2: and for a couple of reasons. One, then let the
14:34
Speaker 2: NFL go have their their Heyday. Don't compete in there.
14:38
Speaker 2: You know, the games were so spread out last year
14:41
Speaker 2: that I kind of felt myself losing a little interest
14:44
Speaker 2: in the college football playoffs and and you're putting, you know,
14:47
Speaker 2: the NFL playoffs in between. And I'm more of a
14:50
Speaker 2: college football guy than I am a NFL guy, but
14:53
Speaker 2: so that was a little awkward. And then you can
14:57
Speaker 2: then also shift acuadet you know, the football calendar around
15:01
Speaker 2: the academic calendar. I mean, it is ridiculous that we're
15:05
Speaker 2: having coaches, you know, and it's been going around for
15:08
Speaker 2: a while, but leave their programs that kids are opting
15:11
Speaker 2: out going into the transfer portal while the season's still
15:15
Speaker 2: going on. So you got to play the season, get
15:19
Speaker 2: that over with. Then you got to sign your high
15:22
Speaker 2: school kids. Then after that you can sign your portal
15:25
Speaker 2: guys and there's going to probably need to be some
15:29
Speaker 2: adjustments to springball. Although these coaches are old school people
15:33
Speaker 2: and they don't like change and they want that spring
15:36
Speaker 2: football how it's always been. But I you know, I
15:39
Speaker 2: look at the NFL how they do their quote spring football.
15:42
Speaker 2: It's later. It's not as much pass, not as much contact.
15:46
Speaker 2: I mean, I see that model. And then you know,
15:49
Speaker 2: the kids are all here for the summer, the coaches
15:51
Speaker 2: are here. They can now coach them in the summertime.
15:54
Speaker 2: So you kind of just blend into that. And so anyway,
15:57
Speaker 2: there's just so many things that you're trying to figure out.
16:00
Speaker 2: It's it's not it's unending.
16:03
Speaker 3: Don't I know you don't want the job, but you
16:04
Speaker 3: sound like a commissioner. Sound like you got some answers there.
16:07
Speaker 3: Coach Peterson is with us here chucking buck in the morning.
16:12
Speaker 3: I do want to ask you because well I think
16:15
Speaker 3: I already know the answer, but I want to hear
16:17
Speaker 3: how you verbalize it. I'm sure you think Notre Dame
16:21
Speaker 3: is not doing the right thing by announcing they're sitting
16:24
Speaker 3: out the bulls.
16:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, here we go, Fansville. Right, We've
16:30
Speaker 2: had like players coaches opting out, and now we've got
16:34
Speaker 2: teams opting out. It's like, are we serious here? You know,
16:39
Speaker 2: you know what I think about I think about BYU
16:41
Speaker 2: a little bit, because you know, here's the team that
16:45
Speaker 2: got beat by the number four team in the country
16:47
Speaker 2: twice and they really haven't said a whole lot. So
16:52
Speaker 2: the word on the three was that BYU was going
16:54
Speaker 2: to play Notre Dame in that pop Tart Bull, which
16:56
Speaker 2: would have been a really cool matchup. B Yu can
16:59
Speaker 2: make a case two years in a row. They've kind
17:01
Speaker 2: of been snubbed a little bit, but they're going to
17:04
Speaker 2: go on and play. I mean, I don't know. This
17:06
Speaker 2: is a hard one for me because I get the
17:09
Speaker 2: emotion and how Notre Dame feels like they were so wronged,
17:13
Speaker 2: But it also feels like, Okay, I'm gonna take my
17:16
Speaker 2: ball and go home now. And you guys said, you
17:20
Speaker 2: know how I'd come, and I say, yes, I'm still
17:22
Speaker 2: an old school guy that we're teaching. Like, you know,
17:25
Speaker 2: there's so many things that this is why I love
17:27
Speaker 2: football so much. It's like the Trojan Horse. It's the
17:30
Speaker 2: Trojan horse values that we're teaching. There's so much life
17:34
Speaker 2: that we're still teaching through this game. And one of
17:37
Speaker 2: those things are is like being extremely disappointed and things
17:42
Speaker 2: don't go your way and you still got to figure
17:45
Speaker 2: out how to do your best and navigate through that.
17:48
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, so what now? What I mean, that's
17:53
Speaker 2: what I think about, Like, Okay, this happened to us,
17:55
Speaker 2: So what now? What are we going to go home?
17:57
Speaker 2: Are we going to lay down? Are we going to respond?
18:00
Speaker 2: And so I think about that. I think Notre Dame,
18:03
Speaker 2: you know, is going to be really good next year,
18:05
Speaker 2: and so you're kind of throwing all that away in
18:08
Speaker 2: terms of practicing, putting a chip on your shoulder, go
18:11
Speaker 2: out and prove it against a really good team and
18:13
Speaker 2: set yourself up for next year. I understand both sides
18:17
Speaker 2: of this. I would have loved to see them play
18:19
Speaker 2: against BYU.
18:21
Speaker 3: I would love to see you coach again. Are you
18:23
Speaker 3: really not going to coach again? And it is like
18:24
Speaker 3: Sandy Kofax hanging it up? I mean, you got something
18:27
Speaker 3: left in the tank here, Peterson? Are you really done?
18:31
Speaker 2: One of the things that I do now that I
18:35
Speaker 2: really find a lot of probably joy purpose in so
18:39
Speaker 2: I'm not coaching on the sideline, but I do I
18:41
Speaker 2: do some stuff with a handful of coaches, and so
18:46
Speaker 2: I find a lot of purpose, like all the things
18:48
Speaker 2: that we're talking about here, help them coaches navigate this
18:52
Speaker 2: really difficult arena that we're in right now, and it
18:56
Speaker 2: is tricky, tough, and it's like it's really about it
18:59
Speaker 2: comes back to ourselves, you know, with all the things
19:02
Speaker 2: that are being thrown how do we show.
19:03
Speaker 6: Up every day?
19:04
Speaker 5: Is our best? You know? We put that.
19:06
Speaker 2: Always on our kids. We demand so much out of
19:08
Speaker 2: the kids and the players and expect them to bring
19:10
Speaker 2: their best energy, their best focused day in and day out.
19:14
Speaker 2: But half the time we don't show up as our
19:15
Speaker 2: best because this arena is so like twenty four seven,
19:20
Speaker 2: three sixty five, and it squeezes us and dinners us
19:23
Speaker 2: and makes us not our best but our worst version
19:26
Speaker 2: in some cases. And so I find a lot of
19:29
Speaker 2: purpose in helping coaches navigate that. And I think the
19:33
Speaker 2: bottom line is that and this is why I stepped
19:36
Speaker 2: away when I was trying to really get clarity on
19:39
Speaker 2: this whole thing that I had this beautiful job at
19:41
Speaker 2: you dub, but wasn't happy. And I think I've just
19:44
Speaker 2: come to the conclusion that I love football, I love
19:48
Speaker 2: teaching coaching, leading all those type of things and helping
19:50
Speaker 2: people navigate that. But when you jump back in to
19:54
Speaker 2: that arena and stand on the sidelines, you live a very,
19:58
Speaker 2: very narrow life. That is what you do. Twenty four seven,
20:02
Speaker 2: three sixty five, And at this point in my life,
20:05
Speaker 2: I just don't want to live.
20:06
Speaker 5: That narrow.
20:08
Speaker 3: Well said, thank you, coach. It was great hearing from you,
20:11
Speaker 3: great avenue. All we appreciate it, and we'll bug you
20:14
Speaker 3: again down the road.
20:15
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, appreciate you guys, and good luck Solvent
20:19
Speaker 2: College Football.
20:21
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna try Chris Peters the joining us right
20:24
Speaker 3: here on Chuck and Buck in the morning, and I'm
20:27
Speaker 3: gonna stop to dig right in and I got a
20:29
Speaker 3: lot of things more to say.
20:30
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna have.
20:31
Speaker 3: Time to get into it today, but if not, we
20:33
Speaker 3: will certainly have a lot of discussions on tomorrow's show
20:37
Speaker 3: coming up.
20:38
Speaker 1: Next. Factor fiction is over.
20:41
Speaker 3: We're not gonna play factor fiction, but there's still a
20:43
Speaker 3: little bit of factor fiction business to take care of.
20:46
Speaker 3: And believe it or not, baseball has made its way
20:48
Speaker 3: into this crazy Monday Sports Radio ninety three point three
20:51
Speaker 3: kJ RFM, Well, congratulations to the Factor Fiction Champions of
21:12
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five for the second year in a row,
21:16
Speaker 3: third banner in the history of Factor Fiction. The morning
21:20
Speaker 3: show celebrates with champagne over each other's heads. Ashley Ryan
21:27
Speaker 3: with a two and zero week to finish out the season.
21:31
Speaker 3: Bucky also finishes five hundred for the year.
21:36
Speaker 1: We were the only show to finish over five hundred
21:38
Speaker 1: for the season.
21:40
Speaker 3: All three of us five hundred are better for the season.
21:43
Speaker 1: That's right.
21:44
Speaker 3: The people that gamble the least at KJR win the
21:49
Speaker 3: most when it comes to Factor Congratulations team.
21:52
Speaker 7: Maybe we should be arrogantting boastful about gambling when we
21:57
Speaker 7: don't ever do it.
21:58
Speaker 1: Okay, we're the We're the beast.
22:01
Speaker 7: Hey, Ashley, you know you make trophies and stuff for us.
22:03
Speaker 7: Can you make banners?
22:05
Speaker 8: I got I got called dumb by some of our listeners.
22:07
Speaker 9: I pick about Indiana plus five against Ohio State.
22:12
Speaker 8: Who's dumb? Now?
22:13
Speaker 5: Yeah?
22:14
Speaker 1: Maybe the championship beltum.
22:17
Speaker 7: Now l O L that's a laugh out loud at you,
22:21
Speaker 7: not with you, at you?
22:24
Speaker 3: Uh so, congratulations gang, we did it again, back to
22:27
Speaker 3: back champions of Factor Fiction.
22:29
Speaker 7: Granted you you kind of carried it. You you you
22:32
Speaker 7: let everybody. You were the leader you were, you beat
22:36
Speaker 7: everybody including m J. Yeah, well it is expert, yep,
22:44
Speaker 7: it is. Yeah, whooped him. I'm pretty sure you whooped Faine.
22:48
Speaker 7: I think Faine probably finished like five hundred as well.
22:50
Speaker 7: And yeah, you's usually good head and shoulders better than
22:53
Speaker 7: everybody else. Congratulations, we did kick individual title. We're not
22:57
Speaker 7: gonna hang a banner for that. That's your own thing.
23:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know what I'm gonna be like Fernando Mendosa.
23:05
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna get in front of the camera, speak
23:08
Speaker 3: directly into it and just please yell about team.
23:11
Speaker 5: He's really not good in the interviews, really good quarterback.
23:16
Speaker 1: You know, it's probably gonna cost him in the draft
23:18
Speaker 1: a few spots.
23:19
Speaker 5: It might. They'll overlook it. E get coached on that
23:23
Speaker 5: because boy is it bad.
23:25
Speaker 6: Uh.
23:25
Speaker 3: Let me mention a couple of things that we have
23:27
Speaker 3: not talked about yet before we talk about what I
23:29
Speaker 3: had planned to talk about here. Because we don't have
23:31
Speaker 3: factor fiction, suddenly I have this full passion whole to
23:35
Speaker 3: play around in. I don't have to worry about getting
23:37
Speaker 3: the factor fiction because the season is over with. But
23:42
Speaker 3: Rick Nuheisel is being rumored as the Kougs next head coach.
23:47
Speaker 3: I don't know how serious that is. Well, we're supposed
23:50
Speaker 3: to have coach on tomorrow at nine o'clock. If he cancels,
23:53
Speaker 3: it might be really serious.
23:54
Speaker 8: Now that makes a lot more sense why Ian was
23:56
Speaker 8: asking me for his info.
23:58
Speaker 1: Yes, so me maybe maybe.
24:01
Speaker 3: I mean the idea being that Rick new Isel takes
24:04
Speaker 3: over a program that he knows in a state that
24:07
Speaker 3: he's recruited, and then he brings over his son Jerry,
24:12
Speaker 3: to be the offensive coordinator and then just hands the
24:14
Speaker 3: baton to Jerry when the time is right.
24:17
Speaker 1: But Jimmy Rogers.
24:18
Speaker 3: Left for Iowa State over the weekend after Matt Campbell
24:22
Speaker 3: went to Penn State. Followed the bouncing ball, and so
24:25
Speaker 3: Rick new Isel rumors to the Koogs have started. I'm
24:29
Speaker 3: sure Ian's going to talk about a little bit later
24:31
Speaker 3: on today. I would also want to point this out.
24:34
Speaker 3: Notre Dame is not the only team that is bounced
24:37
Speaker 3: out of the bowls. I realize it looks like sour grapes,
24:41
Speaker 3: and I think that it certainly is. You're not going
24:44
Speaker 3: to use US ESPN, ABC to get a great TV
24:48
Speaker 3: rating in a bowl game after you just completely snubbed
24:52
Speaker 3: us and broke our hearts when we felt we were
24:54
Speaker 3: deserving four programs and counting have decided we're not. Well,
25:00
Speaker 3: I guess not counting anymore because the Bowl Games are
25:02
Speaker 3: set four programs. Iowa, Stake, Kansas State, Notre Dame, and
25:06
Speaker 3: Baylor all said we don't want to play. So I
25:09
Speaker 3: think everybody's just got to accept this fact. I realized
25:11
Speaker 3: we grew up with Bowl games. They're about dead. They're
25:14
Speaker 3: not going to exist for much longer, and if they do,
25:17
Speaker 3: I think that they're going to be in a much
25:19
Speaker 3: different form than what they are now. So yes, most
25:22
Speaker 3: of that from the Irish, I'm sure sour grapes, but
25:26
Speaker 3: part of it is that there is really nobody even
25:29
Speaker 3: wants to play in Bowl games anymore. Kids don't want to,
25:32
Speaker 3: coaches don't want to, administrators don't want to. The only
25:35
Speaker 3: people that want to do it are the people that
25:36
Speaker 3: make money off of them.
25:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, they make money.
25:39
Speaker 7: I mean, there's no doubt about that, and that money
25:41
Speaker 7: trickles down to some degree, right, I mean, so I
25:43
Speaker 7: think I think there's some folks that would still want
25:46
Speaker 7: to go out there. I know this is an argument
25:48
Speaker 7: I stand on, like the getting to play one final game.
25:51
Speaker 7: But if it is sour grapes, what Notre Dame's doing.
25:55
Speaker 7: At the same time, if they came up with that
25:57
Speaker 7: as a as a as a team, we don't want
26:00
Speaker 7: to do it. We're not going to do exactly what
26:01
Speaker 7: you said. And that's grant ESPN a great matchup for
26:04
Speaker 7: some bowl game. Then I don't have any I don't
26:08
Speaker 7: have anything to say about it.
26:10
Speaker 5: It's just all right. If you don't want to play
26:11
Speaker 5: in it, then don't play in it. You're right if you.
26:13
Speaker 7: Think you're getting ready to go to the NFL, and
26:15
Speaker 7: why the heck would you risk hurting yourself, which a
26:17
Speaker 7: lot of kids are opting to not do that.
26:19
Speaker 5: I may okay with that as well.
26:21
Speaker 9: I think if it was like, I don't know, somebody
26:24
Speaker 9: I liked that was dropping out of a bowl game,
26:26
Speaker 9: I'd be like, yeah, good for you. You show ESPN what
26:29
Speaker 9: you're made of. But because it's Notre Dame, I think
26:31
Speaker 9: they're cry babies.
26:35
Speaker 3: And then I do want to mention a little baseball,
26:37
Speaker 3: and I don't know if we're gonna have enough time.
26:39
Speaker 1: Later to do it at all.
26:41
Speaker 3: So Harry Ford is now a Washington National. We've already
26:46
Speaker 3: talked about a little bit this morning. I'm surprised he
26:48
Speaker 3: wasn't worth more on the trade market. I do see
26:52
Speaker 3: the value of Jose Ferrera. Ferrer, who is a young
26:56
Speaker 3: lefty who is controllable for a number of years one
26:59
Speaker 3: hundred works low in his own tremendous ground ball rate,
27:03
Speaker 3: but also somebody with that nastiest stuff that strikes out
27:07
Speaker 3: fewer than one batter per inning, and not just at
27:09
Speaker 3: the major league level, but did at the minor league
27:11
Speaker 3: level as well. It smacks very much to me of
27:14
Speaker 3: a left handed Gregory Santos Bucky who just did not
27:18
Speaker 3: work out. I mean, he's now an ex Mariner, and
27:21
Speaker 3: I know how excited they were when they landed him
27:24
Speaker 3: and thought the exact same things about him as they
27:27
Speaker 3: think about.
27:27
Speaker 1: Farrer right now.
27:29
Speaker 3: So to me, it's less than I thought Harry Ford
27:33
Speaker 3: would fetch in a trade. So I'm a little disappointed
27:36
Speaker 3: from that. And that's even while acknowledging that Farrer certainly
27:41
Speaker 3: can be useful to this team for the next few years.
27:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I don't.
27:45
Speaker 7: I think I felt like there would have been more
27:47
Speaker 7: for Harry Ford, and I think that maybe you could
27:49
Speaker 7: have gotten more. Had you said we're going to keep
27:51
Speaker 7: him as our backup guy and catch him once a
27:54
Speaker 7: week or maybe even try to give Cal a couple
27:55
Speaker 7: of days a week off and if he's swinging it,
27:58
Speaker 7: then you'll in DH one week in between that as well,
28:01
Speaker 7: I think you could have rose, his stock could have risen,
28:04
Speaker 7: and you could have got more. But at this point
28:06
Speaker 7: it's you're getting a guy who is for sure capable
28:10
Speaker 7: of being good in the big leagues. He hasn't really
28:12
Speaker 7: popped yet. Jose Ferrere guy we're talking about. He hasn't
28:15
Speaker 7: really popped and done what I think his stuff says.
28:18
Speaker 7: But to me, it's the I think there's a different
28:20
Speaker 7: He didn't walk guys like Santos. Santos was a guy
28:23
Speaker 7: who didn't punch out a bunch of guys, but it's
28:25
Speaker 7: he also walked a lot. At This guy is like
28:27
Speaker 7: ninety fifth percentile in walk percentage. So he doesn't walk guys.
28:31
Speaker 7: So he pitches in the zone, which means then he's
28:32
Speaker 7: gonna put balls, but guys gonna put balls in play,
28:36
Speaker 7: and then they're not gonna put it in play very well.
28:38
Speaker 7: And so that's where he's really good on his hard
28:41
Speaker 7: hit percentage and barrel rates and a bunch of other
28:43
Speaker 7: stuff that you end up looking into. So I can
28:46
Speaker 7: see how the Mariners are like, that's what we need.
28:49
Speaker 7: We need a left handed guy. We don't need a
28:51
Speaker 7: backup catcher that is one of our top prospects. So
28:53
Speaker 7: at same time, it's kind of one of those you
28:55
Speaker 7: could have probably gotten more for him had you let
28:58
Speaker 7: Harry Ford become a big league dude, because in you're
29:00
Speaker 7: trading a controllable position player that plays a very important position,
29:04
Speaker 7: You're getting more than just a good, controllable left handed
29:08
Speaker 7: arm out of the bullpen.
29:09
Speaker 5: So I'm with you. I think there's there's two different
29:11
Speaker 5: ways you could win about it. There's not a whole
29:13
Speaker 5: heck of a lot.
29:13
Speaker 7: I'm going to immediately criticize about the Mariners when it
29:16
Speaker 7: comes to them going out and getting the reliever, though,
29:18
Speaker 7: because they seem to really know how to do that.
29:20
Speaker 5: That's true.
29:22
Speaker 3: The other thing I think needs to be mentioned winter
29:24
Speaker 3: meetings who are underway. Joel Sherman said last night the
29:28
Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarber domino once it falls, it's the difference between
29:33
Speaker 3: having an active Winter meetings and his estimation and not
29:36
Speaker 3: having anything. I think what he's saying is the free
29:39
Speaker 3: agent market's waiting on Kyle Schwarber, and it just sets
29:41
Speaker 3: in motion all sorts of other activity. So we shall see.
29:46
Speaker 3: The Pittsburgh Pirates have offered Kyle Schwarber a four year,
29:49
Speaker 3: one hundred million dollar contract. I just want to mention
29:53
Speaker 3: this because there's not going to be time later on today.
29:55
Speaker 3: That is the most ridiculous PR stunt I've ever seen
29:59
Speaker 3: in my entire life. They know they're not going to
30:01
Speaker 3: get him, yeah, at that salary, and yet they want
30:05
Speaker 3: their fans.
30:06
Speaker 1: To see s we're trying.
30:08
Speaker 3: We offered, We offered something thirty percent below market value,
30:13
Speaker 3: knowing that he wasn't going to take it. I mean,
30:15
Speaker 3: not only even if he did take four years, one
30:18
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars, is it going to be on a
30:20
Speaker 3: bad baseball team that's been rebuilding for the last two decades.
30:25
Speaker 3: It's just a PR stunt. So I hope people in
30:29
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh aren't falling for that. They unfortunately have painted themselves.
30:33
Speaker 3: And not only if you want to go out to
30:35
Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarber, not only going to have to play market rate,
30:37
Speaker 3: you probably gotta have to pay more than market rate
30:39
Speaker 3: to get him to come to Pittsburgh because nobody trusts Pittsburgh.
30:42
Speaker 3: They'll pull the rug out from underneath the entire operation.
30:45
Speaker 3: Shwarbur will get there and they'll trade Paul Skeins the
30:47
Speaker 3: next day.
30:47
Speaker 5: You know.
30:48
Speaker 3: That's that's how Pittsburgh. That's the reputation that they've earned.
30:51
Speaker 3: And so please do not buy that Kyle Schwarber pirates
30:55
Speaker 3: have made a really serious offer for it's not serious
30:58
Speaker 3: at all. No, a counterfeit offer for Kyle Schwarber on
31:02
Speaker 3: the free agent market. All right, Coming up next week
31:04
Speaker 3: from Mike McDonald about yesterday's when before Humellon joins is
31:08
Speaker 3: at eight o'clock on Monday morning quarterback on Chucking Buck
31:10
Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r F M
31:14
Speaker 3: as Michael McDonald's I don't think that's asking too much.
31:17
Speaker 4: Well, play open the PA first half. It was really
31:23
Speaker 4: slow on the fixt kick down to second.
31:28
Speaker 8: Gear because I caught that touchdown.
31:34
Speaker 4: Taking it too shatat taking it too sha oh wow wow, whoa.
31:41
Speaker 5: You can want that? And I guess you're gonna keep
31:45
Speaker 5: wanting it.
31:46
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna keep wanting it then, because I'm never
31:49
Speaker 3: going to not want it, all right, tell you that
31:51
Speaker 3: right now.
31:52
Speaker 1: You will never turn this falset off.
31:55
Speaker 10: All right, we got Dan Wentz to Josh Bern were
32:02
Speaker 10: all ten entree, we are ten three.
32:06
Speaker 8: Next time it's a Colts.
32:09
Speaker 4: Don't have actor back gumming. He blew out his achilles,
32:16
Speaker 4: He blew out his okilles.
32:19
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm not laughing at him blowing. Michael McDonald
32:22
Speaker 8: talking about it.
32:22
Speaker 1: Oh that rhyme's with taking it to the street. Yeah,
32:25
Speaker 1: all right.
32:26
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald yesterday talking about the strange doings six to
32:30
Speaker 3: six at halftime, he predicts a Rashid Shah he'd kick
32:33
Speaker 3: returned to start the second half. He gets it, he
32:35
Speaker 3: calls it, he names it, and then all of a sudden,
32:37
Speaker 3: the team just takes off defensively, offensively. Special teams dominated
32:42
Speaker 3: the third quarter like few teams have in the National
32:45
Speaker 3: Football League's history, and then rolled to a thirty seven
32:47
Speaker 3: to nine victory. You would have never guessed it was
32:50
Speaker 3: six to six at half time. You Melan will join
32:52
Speaker 3: us at eight o'clock. Mike hongran at nine o'clock to
32:54
Speaker 3: talk about the game. I we'll also talk a little
32:57
Speaker 3: college football with Hugh as well. But here is coach
32:59
Speaker 3: mc donald on his rookie safety weapon, linebacker, edge rusher,
