Speaker 1 (00:49):
Uh so and lotion boy? What do you mean here?
Why are you mad at me?

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Huh? Not mad at you? What did I do? Nothing? Nothing?
Just to listen.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
I was checking out the try That's all I had
going on. All right, That's that's all I was trying
to do.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
How is it?

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
You know it looks okay, it looks okay, okay. Oh
it's been better. Yesterday it was a little better. But
you know, we'll keep everybody posted on that. Good morning everyone,
Good morning Maddy. Listening for an hour three of the program. Obviously,
you know Patros Papadakas is coming up here shortly. We

(01:26):
are also going to hear from Kyle Shanahan, the head
coach of the San Francisco forty nine ers. He's got
some comments on the situation that took place on the
sidelines there. But Brady Quinn, I know when we were
doing our good bad ugly, you're bad was the bad
take from Danny Canell and many people who are upset
about Florida State not getting in. What is this there's

(01:48):
some fallout from the Florida State situation that there's the uh,
there's like an issue with the like some money that
was being brought into the equation and so sort of.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Well, yeah, so Rick Scott is frustrated.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Right, he's a senator in the state of Florida, and.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
He wants to divert a million dollars towards potential suing
the college Football Playoff Committee in hopes of getting more
transparency as to their process, which again, there's enough smart
people in that room where I don't think they've left
themselves liable for a lawsuit based on the way they've

(02:28):
constructed the criteria and making this decision.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
So it's not going to go anywhere.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
It's your typical move by any politician.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
This is any politician. I'm speaking from one side of
the other.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
Folks, any politician to where they see an opportunity to
get on a soap box and be like, you know what,
we feel wronged by this, and this would have brought
in millions to our university, and because of that, we're
going to set aside a million dollars here from taxpayers
and others to then check out what's going on here.
You know, it's like, dude, just stay out of it.

(03:00):
Like I get it. Everyone's upset and frustrated about it.
You know, LaVar, you talked earlier before about Penn State
not making it in. It's a valid point. Just because
they had two losses, we all of a sudden don't
value a conference champion Like there's been countless years where
we've seen the committee just do whatever they want and
put the best four teams in based on their criteria

(03:23):
that they feel like will be a better TV product.
They do this every year, so I just what's surprising
is and then what I've continually said is I do
feel awful for the kids of Florida State because they
were sold to bill of lies that if they won
every game this season, they'd be to play in the
College Football Playoff.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
And now you have.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Other adults in the room who mind you could have
way back when right helped create a better process where
you had an eight team playoff very doable and you
could have had every Power five champion. You could have
had three at large bids or a group of six
and two at large bids. You could have had that
it would have been a perfect number in formula for
an expansion from the BCS to an eight team playoff,

(04:05):
but instead they went with four. And honestly, like it's
kind of like where the NFL. I don't feel like
is that upset about some of the stuff that happens
in the offseason around the NFL because it creates this
twenty four to seven, three sixty five storyline.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Around that league. College football has that too.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
It's now becoming more nationally relevant and known because you
it was regional, and now because you're getting these national
brands and you're getting people who haven't been introduced to
college football or the brand of college football is now
being introduced to it, and you get people who don't
know the history of it who then are like, oh,
I'm outraged by this. How does Florida State? What if
you did not make it in It's like, well, yeah, dude.

Speaker 6 (04:44):
Like it's happened at callous times.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Like you can look through the history of college football and.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Seem always happened. Even before always happened. They started, like
you said, they started doing co champions and stuff like that,
Like even before you had a playoff, there was always
somebody who felt left out or the year.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
One literally like the big twelves response after twenty fourteen, Okay,
they implemented criteria to determined they're one true champion because
they couldn't determine the one true champion in year one.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Like think about that.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
I mean Baylor and TCU, who I think they did
pretty well too, if I'm not mistaken in their bowl
games and not that.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Look, Ohio State got in they did two.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
But when you were like dissecting who should be the
top four teams, Like you could have made an argument
for either one.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Of those schools.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
It's just it's crazy to me how we get this
sort of reaction. I've said this to Florida State, you know,
fans and lums and all that. I'm like, yeah, there's
some people who feel bad for you, but like, it's
really just you who's outraged by this.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Like a lot of people who've been around.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
College football been like, yeah, yeah, I'm not surprised where
someone's upset or someone gets left out because that happens
every single year when you have one hundred and thirty
three teams and only four get to play for a
national champion.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Sometimes people only care about stuff and they don't care
until it happens to them. Yeah, and now now it's
a problem.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
But back to the general point, Rick Scott's coming out
trying to divert a million dollars for a lawsuit against
the College Footall Playoff Committee because Florida State would have
been cheated out of.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
At least two million in revenue or what have you.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
Which, again, I understand the economics to it in that point,
and if he wants to, you know, go up that crusade.
More power to you. But there's greater issues that we've
got in this country, in the state, amongst other things,
Like I'm pretty sure college football is going to be okay, guys.
I don't know that we need our lawmakers to then
want to jump into this arena and feel like, let's

(06:36):
just figure this out. Like there's enough powers that be
that can figure out the college football playoff and the
final four teams.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
I don't know. I think we need more lawsuits in
this country. That's just my opinion.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
I will say, if Penn State were to make it
to a national championship game, the economy in State College
Pennsylvania would be read ridiculous. It'd be ridiculous. Our economy
is driven by our football team. So I don't know.
I would say in seminal because you're not playing there.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
I mean you could say merch and all those things,
you know, right, but like you're not playing.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, it's going to be impacted even if they're not
playing there just because of the success of it, you know,
the buy into it. So I mean, but again, we
don't have a casina what we're getting one actually I believe,
but but I believe, like, don't they have a casino
in Tallahassee, like they have other things that that are
going on in Tallahassee where it drives their economy. But

(07:39):
I could see where he could like, I think it's
more so about what you said. I think it makes
a lot of sense. Like I don't know all that.
Didn't the election just take place or something like that.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
I don't know, as I can always say, right, you
get elected, and what's your first priority?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Is there you go? So you're always kind of there
you go.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I am kind of curious to see what happens in
the Orange Bowl between them and you Georgia.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
You know Georgia. They beat Georgia. They they get to
thump their chest.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
And that's the thing, Like remember when UCF was claiming
national title back in twenty seventeen and everything. You haven't
played anybody. They got to bowl games, they beat Auburn.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
There's not one team, there's not one team that I
would favor over Georgia in the college football playoffs, not one.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Which, by the way, just for the record, Georgia's got
just as big of a debate.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
They may have more of a tire year.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
And then they dropped this lost.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
You dropped the lost, they're out.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
It's it's bizarre, dude, like you could have Forida State
could complain, Georgia could complain, like the whole whole system
obviously wasn't properly done in the first place.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
But that if Georgia isn't one of the four best
teams in America, then we I don't know what we
were watching this year. I don't know what we were seeing.
Was it a smoke screen? Was it was it a
mirage where we sing so to me, I mean, if
Florida State is able to win against Georgia, which that

(09:08):
would be the best case scenario for Florida State to
be able to say whatever it is they're going to say.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
They're a thirteen.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
Okay, so that's code for that's not going to happen,
buttd be great for the game.

Speaker 8 (09:22):
Though.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
There's gonna be a lot of guys who may be
sitting out due to their future aspirations right of playing
in the NFL, and rightfully so, like I'm never gonna
knock a player for making that decision.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
If they choose to do so, that's their decisions.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
All right, I mean, especially if they're not playing for
a national title.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
So if you guys, are members of Florida State? You
playing in this game or now?

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yes? Against Georgia. Yeah, hell yeah, I'm playing in this
one fourteen point. I want that. I want that game
because if if we win that game, I'm saying, we're
national champs.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
And here's the thing, we're national.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
This is the op thing is like, you're more than
welcome to do it. UCF has already done that.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
They've already you know, they've They've already claimed a national championship.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Like that's part of how this works. Like if you
feel like you've been wrong, go ahead, Yeah, well claim it.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
If we if we beat Georgia, I'm saying we beat
the best team in college football outside of ourselves, and
there's nothing you can say to dispute dispute it.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
Here's the hard part about that is these are all
the draft eligible players. They could be missing. Now we
don't know who's going to plan who's not. What we
do know Patrick Payton, one of their outstanding dns, is
already in the transfer portal, So I'm imagining it's not
going to play in the game. But let me just
go through this list. Kean Coleman, they're wide receiver draft eligible,
Johnny Wilson wide receiver, draft eligible. They're left tackle, Robert

(10:45):
Scott junior draft eligible, Casey Roddick. They're left guard draft
eligible now, Maurice Smith the center. Could you got Dmitri
Emmanuel right guard?

Speaker 4 (10:56):
He could too.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Jeremiah Byers also draft eligible. You've got jaheem Bell draft eligible.
At tight end for them, You've got Trey Benson. They're
running back who's draft eligible. It's just they have multiple players.
That's the hard part of play really better. Not Jared
vers on defense is draft eligible. They're outstanding defensive end.

(11:17):
Kaitlyn Deloche he's also drafted. I mean there's you go
down the list, like, what's the risk reward?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Does the line still stay the same if all of
those names come out and they're not.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Playing, it's factored in. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
I mean, if they think they're that much better than
Florida State without those starters playing, they just they got
to win the game. I mean, just with that being said,
I'm still arguing we won the.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Game because I mean, think about it, who's got a
bigger red ass Georgia or Florida State After the rankings
come out.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Or after last week.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
I think Kirby smart.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I agree going to have them. It gets lost, it
gets lost, like to the point it gets lost in
all of this. I mean, that is the best football
team in college.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Almost to the day.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
It was three years since their last long I would
have been okay with them doing what they did at
the Penn State, Like, hell, they won the Big Ten,
but you're not getting in. You're not better than this team.
You're not better than Ohio State. Like, you're not getting in.
I would have been okay if they took Georgia over
Alabama on everything. I don't just I just don't think

(12:23):
that Alabama was the best. I thought I picked Alabama
to win the game because it was one of those
games where you say, it's a one game where the
coaching staff, the players, they'll be able to get up
for it, and they might be able to pull this
one out in the College Football Playoff. I just don't.

(12:46):
I don't see it. I didn't. I wouldn't see it.
I would not see them winning against Georgia in the
College Football Playoff. They sneak one out in the SEC
Championship game Shore, But I just I don't know. But
we'll never know. But I'm just saying I would have
a better argument for Georgia going even over the SEC

(13:07):
champion in Alabama.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
And for the record, bruck Bowers might not play Lad
mccackey's banged up for George. I mean, they're gonna have
some players out as well who are draft eligible and
might not see as much value in it. But the
majority of their roster is kind of young because they've
had so many guys move on to the NFL level.
So it's gonna be really interesting. It should be a
fun game.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
We can say that.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
It's two pros and a cup of Joe.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Here on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas
Knox with you. So we know, we promise you some
Kyle Shannan sound. So we'll get to that, who knows
at some point maybe during the course of this show.
Basically a little bit of an about face.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
You promised it, We will promise it.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
Look, you promised it.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
To summarize it, Kyle Shanahan said Big Dom who was
kicked out, the Levar's guy from Penn State who was
kicked out on the sidelines in that game last Sunday
against forty between the forty nine ers and Eagles, the
Eagles security guard.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
He goes everything I've heard about him. He's a good guy.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Hopefully they're not too hard on him as far as
whatever disciplinary action that comes through with it.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
That's how you pay off the t's here.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
You know, you don't want to come up disappearing, you know,
Big Dom, you know, yeah, support it. That's all, by
the way. So he remembers you, I'm assuming right, she
was always kind to him. Let's get him on the show.
What he saying. I bet you if somebody reached out,
he'd come on. Yeah. I don't have his numbers. I
mean it's not like I had his number or he
was like, you know, hanging out stuff. But I see

(14:29):
him on the street, say, what's up the Big Dom? Yeah?
What a big Dom. They always looked like he had
like a bulletproof vest on, like, but he wore like
like six T shirts like he wants a lot. You
wasn't seeing the sweat on that first T shirt. I'll
tell you that was that T shirt.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Remember back when they used to be the fashion three
or four.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
You would wear the white undershirt that would be showing
above the collar of the the other shirt you had on.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
It's a weird look back then, but he's a big dude. Yeah,
um joints like six seven eight T shirts. That's a
big domb though. I mean that was his style with
some Timberlands. All Right, we're gonna check out with the
Big pe here, Okay, very Big pe bet are known
as the Old pe WHOA probably should have thought that
one through. Yeah, you probably should have.

Speaker 6 (15:15):
All right, well you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Yeah? Oh yeah, they won in the last second.

Speaker 8 (16:45):
There's some kind of controversy about possession and the timeout.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah, because they were granted a timeout and they didn't
have possession of the ball. They beat the Suns, which.

Speaker 8 (16:52):
See we got to get we gotta get Lebron in
the championship.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
You for the good of the NBA.

Speaker 8 (16:58):
Yeah, yeah, I know that it's good for like the
tenth or eleventh guy on the bench, and the teams
might be playing kind of harder for that or maybe
that's a thing. And I know the NBA has made
it to where everybody's going to act like they understand
this thing and is like pumping it up. Like the

(17:18):
intro to all these games, it's like and welcome to
two A, B Section South, Double West. Well, the NBA
in season, Like, I don't understand it. I don't understand
what games are already scheduled and what's the extra game.
I don't get it. Maybe more people do now that

(17:39):
it's started. I don't understand it at all. So congrats.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean this is the most we've talked about it
here on the show. So well you led the show
with it.

Speaker 10 (17:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
I'm a college football an.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hell yeah, no, it's good.

Speaker 6 (17:54):
I'm really happy for the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah. Can I ask you guys in a minute, Laker fans,
Can I ask you an important question?

Speaker 6 (18:02):
I believe that is your function on the show.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Nice do you guys get novacane? Do you get your
gums shut up when you go to get your teeth cleaned,
or do you go no novacaine at all? No novacaane non,
so you want to feel it.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
I've never heard of such a practice.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
You don't numb your gums to get your teeth.

Speaker 8 (18:21):
Well, I guess there's people that like, are so adverse
to the dentists that they just have themselves put completely out.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
I had the gas ready, but I didn't do it yesterday.
But my mouth is really sore from getting injections in
my gums to clean do a deep, deep cleaning of
my teeth.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
Are you saying that when the rest of us go
get our teeth cleaned, we're not cleaning them deep enough
because we don't get our.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Gum shot up? No?

Speaker 8 (18:46):
No, I was asking, do you just maybe we could
just do a cocaine gummer and call it even?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:52):
I never tried it.

Speaker 8 (18:53):
I mean, well, I mean this is your moment, little horseshoe,
little horsehot.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
So you guys are okay with the drills and all
that stuff and the scraping and the scratchy.

Speaker 8 (19:03):
Wait, drilling, yes is yes, drilling is something you would
want to numb your teeth for a teeth cleaning a
normal drill.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
It's more like that vibrator thing that.

Speaker 6 (19:17):
I've never heard of anybody being numbed for.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
So I think that that means that you probably have
a sensitivity issue too old. So that's probably why they
numb you, because they've got to get in there and
spray it out.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
And yeah, sometimes the water can be a little cold.
That was my important question of like a.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
Big, tough, angry, legendary linebacker, you know, worried about his teeth.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Well, my my mouth is very sensitive.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
I understand. No, I got you.

Speaker 8 (19:42):
Whenever I go in there as a mouth breather, whenever
I go in there, they really got to go to work.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
You know. Okay, I'm a mouth breather too, you know,
absolutely all right. That was my That was my one
important question copy that.

Speaker 8 (19:55):
So the NBA tournament in season and the dental practice
anesthetic and we are off and running.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (20:06):
It's what we do, Petros, what we do?

Speaker 8 (20:09):
I want to talk about now that big Grand Canyon
University upset.

Speaker 9 (20:12):
Of the.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
Loops. Let's go loop, Let's go.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
Talk about I was going to ask you for your
reaction on the college football playoffs.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
So many people are outraged. Petros.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
They can't live with themselves. They're not going to watch
another game of college football. Yes, because of this final.

Speaker 8 (20:31):
Four Well, one thing about college football, whether it was
the AP poll years and years ago that would come out,
whether it's ranking before the bowl games and.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
All the other stuff that's gone on.

Speaker 8 (20:45):
I mean, we've got one hundred something teams, So the
conversation about who's number one and what's right and what's
wrong has always just kind of been part of it, right,
Like the outrage, the anger that we got screwed, the
Central Florida declaring themselves champions.

Speaker 6 (21:02):
Of the world or whatever.

Speaker 8 (21:05):
Remember, like all of those things are part of the
pantheon and the narrative of college football. They they make
people talk about college football, the BCS, you know, all
these things that we've done over the years.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
This, I mean, I feel like we've avoided.

Speaker 8 (21:22):
This for years and years with this stupid fourteen playoff.
It's never been, never been workable to have five power
conferences and four spots. It's just it's always been stupid.
It's been created by a TV company, a committee created
by a TV company, a TV company in ESPN that

(21:44):
owns a big part and has a huge interest in
the SEC, and it's set up for the SEC to
have success. That's always been the case. So it's not
a surprise that the SEC. If somebody's going to get screwed,
it's not going to be them. That's one part about this.
The other part about this that I was kind of

(22:05):
saying earlier, We've avoided this for years and years because the.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
PAC twelve has been so bad.

Speaker 8 (22:10):
Right, the PAC twelve has been dismissible and they cannibalize
themselves in November and you can always shrug your shoulders
and say, well it doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
Well, this year it does. The PAC twelve is going.

Speaker 8 (22:22):
To send a representative and you knew it and you
felt it at the end, and then somebody else had
to get screwed. I understand why Florida State is really
upset when you put humans in that want to make
TV matchups for TV for a TV event in a
TV business, this is the decision they're going to come

(22:44):
to because of the circumstances.

Speaker 6 (22:48):
It's not surprising. Is it fair?

Speaker 8 (22:51):
No? No, no? At some point that the games have
to matter. Yes, this was kind of this is a travesty,
but but I also understand, you know who's involved and why,
and you know why these things happen.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
And that's a lot of the same sentiment that I
said earlier and we've kind of talked about.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
And that's why it's kind of.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Just like, all right, it's Florida State's fan base who's
upset this year or whoever has.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
A bone to pick with Alabama.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Right.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
One of the things that I do hear people say
is what the well the games have to matter.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Well, the games do matter.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
Unfortunately for Florida State, the ten games prior to Jordan
Travis getting hurt didn't matter as much because there was
a new reality for them the.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Last three games.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
In the last three games they played, I think it's
justifiable or reasonable to say, hey, we all watched it
didn't look very good. Yeah, and you look like the
same team, right, I guess, I guess.

Speaker 6 (23:44):
But I mean when we talk about the spart we're.

Speaker 8 (23:49):
Talking about trying to overcome adversity like that is the
key to the whole sport. And you understand players and
coaches and dynamics of programs and what it's like to
be on a team when somebody gets hurt. So that's
a pretty tough argument to make. You know what I mean,
I mean, I get it, I understand that, but what's

(24:11):
the nature of the sport that we cover? And look,
I understand this situation more than anything. There's a reason
that Colorado was just as bad as they normally are, basically,
but Deon Sanders is the athlete or the year, Yeah,
sports person of the Year from Sports Now. I don't

(24:31):
think Sports Illustrated did that to distract from the controversy
about having AI reporters with fake names do stories and
not have to pay real people.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
I don't repeat that again. You don't think that's why
they made I don't think. Okay, it wasson tactic.

Speaker 6 (24:47):
No, no, but it certainly helped in the moment, didn't it.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (24:50):
The point is like, why do we celebrate Dion when
Colorado had the same conference record that they had last
year and everybody got fired. Well, the answer is easy,
it's TV business and they generated TV attention and television ratings.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
Coach pra So, I mean, thank god this.

Speaker 8 (25:09):
Is the last year of the fourteen playoff, right because
nothing it really matters because now the Pac twelve's going away.
But this was never you know, we could make arguments
about this guy got hurt, but hey, look who they
played in the non conference. They beat LSU. Look at
the SEC's non conference victories, they got nothing. You know,
all of those things. Tough game against Middle Tennessee State

(25:32):
for Alabama, you know all of that.

Speaker 6 (25:34):
But I do get it.

Speaker 8 (25:35):
Like one of the things that kind of told me
how maybe they did the right thing was Michigan's reaction
when they found out they were playing Alabama.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
Right, you know, oh and then like, oh, okay, we
shouldn't be upset, we shouldn't be upset. Okay, all right,
let's go. You know it was it was interesting.

Speaker 8 (25:52):
I mean, it's something that we could talk about for
years and years, and people in Tallahassee are pissed.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
I'll be honest.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
I think we're gonna forget about this once the games
get played, especially if they're good games.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
I don't know what.

Speaker 8 (26:02):
It depends on what happens with them and Georgia and
all that, and if they Georgia, like UCF, if Georgia
beats their their ears off, does it I mean, there's
be so many guys sitting out of the game, I'm
not sure it's gonna matter one way or another will
it I don't know.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
I don't know. I mean it is this week's conversation.

Speaker 8 (26:20):
You're right about that, but it is kind of an
f you and a goodbye to how dysfunctional this college
football system.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Was Petro speaking of an FU. How about Deanton Lynn
going from UCLA to USC, brand new defensive coordinator there
for the Trojans, big get for USC?

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Does that make the horse to get him? What happened there?

Speaker 6 (26:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (26:42):
Come on, well yeah, I'm sure they double his salary.
Uh oh at least and that's good right, Uh?

Speaker 6 (26:49):
And I'm happy for him. He's an up and coming,
good young coach.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
I love that he does not have any kind of
background with like Mike Leach or Dana Holgerson or the
stoops is or anybody involved with Oklahoma and Lincoln Riley.
Like he's not from that tree of people who worship
Art Briles as a high school coach.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (27:13):
Anthony Lynn Son, He's Anthony lynns Son, and he comes
from an NFL background if you look at his resume
mostly and his dad's an NFL guy and a great guy.
Anthony Lynn the fabulous guy. And we still love talking
to him when he was a coach of the Chargers Deanton.
I think it's more important for him to come into
a program that's going to change its philosophy a little

(27:35):
bit and be a more complete football team. And that
is what Lincoln Riley has vowed to do. He's kind
of said all the right things. It looks like the
athletic director Jen Cohen has truly gotten to him. And
the failure of this year and the disappointment this year,
which could have been probably the most disappointed USC football
season of.

Speaker 6 (27:55):
All time, I think is sobered up.

Speaker 8 (27:58):
Lincoln Riley now can coach a team in all three
phases and thrive that way and recruit and develop defensive
and offensive line and all that stuff. Well, they're saying
all the right things now, I mean, and he said
that they need to get bigger defensively and things like that.
So so hopefully they're headed in the right direction. It's

(28:20):
a much better higher than somebody I thought that would
be connected with with the air raid or the Midwest
or you know what we would expect, you know.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
Another higher, Yeah, another higher like Alex Grinch.

Speaker 8 (28:32):
You really don't you really don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Super quick for you know, let you up out of here.
I went to the Pac Pac twelve championship game.

Speaker 6 (28:48):
I was, oh, yeah, it was exciting, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
I got to say I was impressed by the way
Washington played in that game. I mean, I mean, they
play very well. What chances do you give them in
the playoff?

Speaker 6 (29:03):
Well, they got text.

Speaker 8 (29:04):
I mean, look, if Auburn loses to New Mexico State, right, literally,
the Aggies went into Jorden Hare and beat him, and
then Alabama needs a miracle the next week to beat Auburn.
I don't really think of Alabama as this insurmountable comet juggernaut.
To get through Georgia maybe would have felt a little

(29:27):
bit different.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Yeah, that's the juggernaut, that's right. Not in the dance.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Now.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
Washington has had some problems defensively, but they've become a
little bit better and they've become more timely defensively as
the season has gone on. I mean, they needed to
pick six to beat Arizona State, not a good offensive team,
but they got it. You know, they've run the ball,
They've created a run game. After Panic's got a little
beat up Dylan Johnson after Oregon, Yeah, Dylan Johnson and

(29:53):
he's doing a great job. And hey, can we talk
about the last time you and I got a chance
to watch together the pactual PLA playing in the College
Football Playoff? Yeah, Washington, Utah. It was like three games.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
No, when they were in when it was Ohio State
versus Oregon back in twenty fourteen, you and I got
the chance to watch together.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
Oh oh yes, and uh oh.

Speaker 8 (30:15):
Yeah, wait, no, I remember the one where Jamis Winston
had the ball, the fumble, the ball slipped out of
his hand.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeap.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
That was the semi five.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
Florida State Oregon. So he watched. Do you remember, well,
this made.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
The College Football Playoff twice? Washington made it once and
Oregon made it once and we watched in.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Ohio State fourteen. Yeah, and do you do you remember
Washington together though? What happened in that game?

Speaker 6 (30:38):
Yeah, Washington couldn't get any push the.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Oregon organ versus Ohio State. Oh wait that one?

Speaker 1 (30:44):
No, No, I know, okay, yeah, you guys are banged up.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
No, no, we were together in the green room at
Fox and that went on a ti rate at one
point because Oregon couldn't They couldn't stop Zeek Elliott Like
you just saw see Kelly and running with a little
back tail gate flap and every.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Time, oh his back flap.

Speaker 8 (31:02):
Yeah, just because they're never gonna think we're tough, They're
never gonna think we're physical.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
This is it. This is the end of the back twelve.
He was so bad.

Speaker 6 (31:12):
It is the end of the pac twelve. It is
the end.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
I think Washington's offensive line could get a better push
than they than they did the last time around.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
So is the physicality of the West Coast? Is it
up for display versus Texas and the soot?

Speaker 8 (31:29):
Yeah, Washington's gonna be fine. They're not gonna be physically
dominated in the game. They might do if they are, though,
are you gay? Will I will call you and leave
a five minute message on your magines. I will mention backflaps.
You were so upset that we had a fat uh
lineman at SC when I was playing, named Jason Grain

(31:51):
a great guy, and he was he was he looked
like Barney the Dinosaur in many ways, and uh, he
he really did just the shape of his lower by
and uh he had a backflap, you know, and we'd
score a touchdown and he tried to get like he'd
really effort to like in the celebration, to get his
back flap in the celebration on the camera, you know,

(32:13):
and to be like, you see my backflap when you
scored sexy look and I was like, looky, it's great.

Speaker 6 (32:21):
It's your back flap. Isn't great? It is real. It's
a fashion choice.

year for this cruise, that life at sea cruise trips.

shell it was hiding what's called a blue ringed octopus. Yeah,
this thing, it's only about five inches big, but it's
got a really scary toxin in it that is untreatable.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
It took him six hours just to stabilize.

Speaker 5 (36:59):
The young man and fortunately he was able to find
after he saw the octopus this small, painless bite that
would have killed him typically in thirty minutes, but he
rushed to the hospital, was able to get help and
