Speaker 2 (01:28):
Jay su, what's the year?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I'll take it from here.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I want everybody to go back to nineteen ninety six.
If you're sitting in your car and.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So much good hair, then.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Oh, what is it? Twenty nine years ago? Twenty nine
years ago? The Dallas Cowboys went on the road to
face the Eagles in September of nineteen ninety six Cowboys.
For those who didn't the documentary, I'm going to fill
in the blanks a little bit here. Think about what
the Cowboys were doing in September of nineteen ninety six.
(02:06):
They had just won their third Super Bowl in four years.
Boy did they have an offseason. Michael Irvin settled a
case where he had a bunch of coke and hookers
at the White House. He settled a case and was
suspended by the NFL. So the Cowboys played the Eagles
(02:26):
in September of nineteen ninety six without the playmaker, but
they pulled out the wins. Still good for the Cowboys,
but he had all the notables Troy Aikman, Deon Sanders,
and At Smith in that game. The quarterback of the
nineteen ninety six Philadelphia Eagles that night was Rodney Pete.
Ironically is doing local radio in Los Angeles right now.
(02:50):
You enjoy him and his wife, Holly Robinson Pete on
many reality ventures. Great game, great year for the Cowboys
until it wasn't as their streak of Super Bowls came
to an end, Dan Byer, what do you remember most
from that sports year of nineteen ninety six?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
What a great year it was, nineteen ninety six. It
would have been the second half of my freshman year
in college and then the early part of the sophomore year.
I believe nineteen ninety six was that the first year
that the Ravens we're in the National Football League as well,
and in moving from Cleveland to Baltimore. Sounds right, Yeah,
(03:36):
somewhere around that time, correct, Dan, Thank you very much.
It was quite the change. And the only reason that
I remember that is because I lived with two of
my friends in college were from Cleveland and they were
just distraught that the Browns were leaving and the Baltimore
Ravens started to play in nineteen ninety six. Do you
(03:59):
want to know in the world of golf in nineteen
ninety six always the standout from nineteen ninety six, it
was a non Ryder Cup year. Happened in Augusta, Georgia
in early April, second week, in fact, the second Sunday,
so when Greg Norman had the ultimate collapse as Nick
(04:21):
Faldo captured his third green jacket. So Nick Faldo wins
the Masters. Greg Norman's let's just face it legacy cemented
with that collapse in the final day chokea it sure was.
Mark Brooks won the PGA Championship. Steve Jones won the
US Open that year, Tom Layman breaking through with an
(04:45):
Open Championship win. That was golf in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Golf h Well, nineteen ninety six in the NBA was well,
the Bulls taking down the SuperSonics, right, and that series
was interesting, right because Bulls jumped out to a three
(05:11):
nothing lead and then you know, Gary Payton said, now
I got to start guarding Michael Jordan and it got
a little closer. But some of the names that you remember,
George Carl was the coach of the Sonics, Gary Payton,
Sean Kemp, the rainmaker, and of course this was this
was the was this the third of the three peat?
(05:32):
Was this beginning of first, first and the second three peat?
Verst the second three Peat nineteen ninety six bulls Bulls
end up winning the title.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Guys, it was an Olympic year in Atlanta, and everyone
remembers the bombing and Centennial Park in Atlanta. I remember
the pride of the Baylor Bearers. I remember the wacko
from Waco, Michael Johnson, and yes, I just made up
that nickname because of alliteration. Michael Johnson won the two
(06:07):
hundred and the four hundred. Carrie Strug was also in
that Olympics as the as the now notorious and controversial
coach Well, I forget his name, Dan's very good with it?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Was it Bella?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Corol Bell hugging Carrie Shrug as she stuck a landing
with a broken ankle. Everyone remembers brained ankle. Okay, sprain
is worse than a break. That's what everyone told me
when I rolled my ankle. Yeah, it would have been
better if you broke it. Yeah, I know you're the
eight hundredth person that has told me, thank.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
You, sprain worse than a break. Though.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Remember I had not heard that it was, she said,
I I've never heard that before. Sprain ankles worse than
a break.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yes, longer to heal, never properly heals. They're always going
to be dealing with that sprain. If you break it,
it can heal completely and quicker.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You break it, you buy it.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I learned that growing up, going to seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
What can he break in seven to eleven? Like a
beer bottle? I don't know what candy I was.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I kind of did it. I was. I thought that
was really funny. Until I went seven eleven. I thought
it was good.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Might breaking.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I mean something famous happened in Iowa in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Let's see, I thought we did.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I hate to break this to you. I think we
did ninety six.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Oh yeah, well we've actually done every year.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I think we did ninety six, like really recently, and
maybe J stew was out.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I can tell you this. Iowa made it to the
NCAA tournament. They played in Tempe, Arizona in first round play.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
J R.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Kotch. I think Andre Woolridge was a member of that team,
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No, Andrew Wilwrisch was gone.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Was he? Jr?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Visit? J visit Notre Dame with me. Fell asleep at
a party on her visit was a bunch of party.
Now his son I think plays in Iowa.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Jared was the second round pick of the New York Knickerbockers.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
After the coaching change, they have like a whole new team.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh that's right, he No, some of them stayed. I
got a couple. Yeah, I can't remember where he went
and we stayed. I think he stayed.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I think Andre Woolridge was the MVP of the ninety
five ninety six whoa, I was wrong, Iowa Hawkeye's team.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Hush, guys, Andre Wilward's kind of a weird game. Not
gonna lie to you. Really big strong point guard. That's
a serious situation. NI scenario. Uh, you know. Nineteen ninety
six in baseball, it was all I remember about it
(08:44):
was that the Yankees won. But wasn't that their first
title with Cheeter was another first of the of the titles.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yes, Jeeter was a rookie or maybe a second year guy.
Jim Laertz was the one name I remember from that
World Series was.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That when the kid at the Baltimore game caught the
ball in the outfield and the what was the kids'.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Name, Jeffrey Meyer.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Jeffrey Meyer was that Jeffrey Meyer year sounds right?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Maybe around that time?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay, they played the Orioles in the in the ALCS,
So that was what it was almost positive, I want
to say that was game one. How am I doing?
Nobody knows how many as.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I remember, Brett Favre got his first and only Super
Bowl ring in the season of ninety six, and of
course that was the Packers team and the quarterback that
was supposed to just run off a bunch of Super Bowls.
They made it back to the next year, only to
lose to the Broncos and then far I have never
touched the Super Bowl again.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
What was uh, what was in their headphones when they
took the took the field to one.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
The wait, no, we don't know yet. We don't know
just yet. Because ninety six sat remember when I mentioned
the Ravens that they came into the league. It's also
the second year of the Jaguars and Panthers.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Any way, to like the conference finals, right.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Both of them made it to the NFC Championship Game
and AFC Championship Game, ultimately losing. I was at that
NFC Championship game at Lambeau between the Panthers and Packers. Really, yes,
that would have been in the game, would have been
in ninety seven, but again from the ninety six season
is what we really care about. But it was also, yes,
the emergence of the expansion teams, and I believe the
(10:27):
rule was the expansion teams could sign regular free agents.
So I thought that was the rule. And then the
NFL changed like, well, that can't happen again, because these
teams were really good right away and they're like, all right,
you got to take your lumps. At some point. I
think they changed some of the roster building rules because
of the Jacksonville and Carolina success that season.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Panthers and Jaguars, two expansion teams going to the Conference
Shatle game in their second year in existence. Was a
lot of things. It was coincidental. It was maybe maybe
uh too fast, too quick. One thing it wasn't, guys, was.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Ironic, don't you think.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Alanis Morissett's third single off her Jagged Little Pill album
that was a breakout album in nineteen ninety five. I
consider it a female grunge album, which is Iowa Sam
agrees with me on that one, so good front to
back this song, though she points out in her lyrics,
(11:36):
a bunch of things that are like unfortunate, Uh, they're
coincidental there maybe tragically bad luck, yeah, unfortunate, but none
of them are ironic. There's nothing ironic about rain on
Ryan on your wedding day. That's not ironic, son, No,
it sucks, it's unfortunate. But the textbook definite of irony
(12:01):
does not have anything to do with those with that comparison.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Describes a situation where is in contrast between what is
expected and what actually happens. Statement that means the opposite
of the literal meaning, So rain in your wedding day, yes,
that would that would not be ironic. What's the other ones?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
It's a free ride when you've already paid again, that sucks.
You're out money and you found out that it's free.
Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit, but it's not ironic.
And a black fly in your chardinage, it is just gross.
It's just bad luck and it's gross. It's not ironic.
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I think I think she was actually playing us because
she did this so that we'd be like it's ironic,
that everything in her song called ironic is not ironic.
So it was actually just like she was just playing
three D chess.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, a landismore set right. The song.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I'll let Sam venture on that one, but I will say.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
This, traffic traffic jamminari late also not ironic.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
A death row pardon two minutes too late, Like the song,
instead of being called ironic, should have been things that suck.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Pardon me, uh dor, he's dead, He's.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Dead ironic written by Alanis Morsett and Glenn Ballard.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It was Glenn Ballard.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I bumped into Glenn writes Ballards like his name is Glenn.
There's no way his actual name is Glen Ballad.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Do your think of ballad A ballad?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, I almost bumped into Alanis Morris set in these hallways. Wow, yes,
that would have been ironic. And I'll say this, I think, yeah.
The the littlest thing, like we both came around the
corner at the same time, and just that two second
interaction where she was polite and said, oh, you know,
(13:51):
excuse me. Guess what I've thought Alanis Morissett And she
probably is a lovely woman, but just that interaction I've
had with her, I've always held in a high regard
because of that.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
She's Canadian, so she's very police.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
She says the same thing about you in movies This
was back in the era where Will Smith dominated the
fourth July none as much as the box office smash
Independence Day. Independence Day it was the number one movie.
Think about this. Of the top ten movies, I believe
five of them have been made into sequels. Right, Twister
(14:27):
was number two. That's been a sequel. Mission Impossible. That
was the first of the remake of the Mission Impossible,
the tom Cruise series, The Rock. I have Sir Sean
Conry on The Rock.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I love The Rock. Hold Up, it does hold up.
I think I recommend it. I wanted to watch it
with Christina's son because we were going to go see Alcatraz,
and that's great Alcatraz movie.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
It's a ripped rowing good time. It really is.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah. Well, instead you could see The US Open Tomorrow
where we'll see if Novak Djokovic can escape from Al Karaz. Yeah,
there you go, Nutty, Professor Jerry maguire complete me you complete.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
My My favorite movie that year was Fargo. Uh. Francis
McDermott won for Best Actors in that movie. I want
to say it was one of three Oscars for acting.
A movie that almost nobody saw but was celebrated was
called The English patient. Anyone in this room ever see
the English?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
No English patient was one, Like, I gotta see that.
I got to read that book. I gotta see that
movie won the Academy Award, didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
It Best Picture? Yep?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Was that like the visual of the plane that crashes
in the desert? Or am I thinking like chocolat?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I think no, chack Alotte was really good. Now that
was where. Yeah, it was a plane that crashed in
the desert, and its the story of a nurse who
takes care of this guy.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Right sounds right? Uh? Ray finds is that his name Rafe? Yeah? No,
Ray finds.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Raife?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Like, I don't think it's.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
There's a joke, circles. I said that he's his name
is Ralph finds. His name is Ray findes Ray like Raymond.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Ray finds money. Everybody loves speaking of.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Ralph?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Was Kansas?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I think that was ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
By Georgia in the second round.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yes, that was that year, Yes, yes, thank you? And
then Syracuse be and then Syracuse be Georgia right, and
then Syracuse played in the National Championship Game and we
I was a Notre dame that year. We had Syracuse
down fifteenth to a half at their place. Last game
in the regular season six with a minute ago. You
know what at the carry dow and loss.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Kansas was upset by UH Syracuse in the Elite eight,
Perdue was the number one seed that in the West Region.
They lost to jean Ja Big Dog. That's what it was.
But Kansas was upset by Jason Syracuse Orange.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
John Wallace, do you what mean Jason Syracuse Orange?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Jason backs Syracuse?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
My favorite team, my favorite team growing up.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You have favorite team growing up to you do?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Dad lived out in Syracuse, right, something like that. Entire
families from the three to one five we go, shout
out to the.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Three one, shout out to the three one five. I
do also want to say this, I say it. I
don't want to pat myself on the back, but I'm
going to because my two NFL notes were actually a
part of the nineteen ninety six Wikipedia page Ravens leaving
and the success of the Jaguars and Panthers. But one
thing that I did not know, this is very surprising.
(17:50):
This is amazing that the NFC championship game from that
season of the Packers and Panthers. Yes, was the first
time in history that the Cowboys, forty nine Ers, Redskins
or Rams were not in the game. The first NFC
Championship game was in nineteen seventy. It took him till
(18:11):
nineteen ninety six season in the ninety seven game to
not have one of those four teams in the championship game.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Great and that is don't call it throwback Thursday.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Don't call it a throwback throw back thirst. Fox Sports
Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.
Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com

Speaker 2 (18:40):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
He joins us every week and we promote his pod
because really good. You see him on the set of
Big Name Kickoff. He's the one and only Bear. He's
Chris Felika felixs. Let's let's just start before we get
to the games. I know it was really cool of
Fox Sports to broadcast last head gear of Lee Corso.
(19:02):
You put out a couple of things on social media
about working with Corso as long as you did as
his head researcher before you got on air. Uh, what
was that like to kind of be a part of
the end of an era even though you'd left ESPN.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
It was great. It really brought back a lot of
emotions if I made me think about the old days
at college game Day when I was just doing a
whole bunch of interviews and such to But but it
was great to be there. And look, it was I
think a purpose two networks being able to say, you
know what, we let's coexist and do what's best with
the sports fan out there watching Big Noon, you've gotta
be able to watch the final head gear. You're you're
(19:39):
you're at ESPN. Basically do what you want to send
Corso out with the way that the way that he should.
So it was was great to be there in person.
It was great to see him and some of the
other people who used to be a part of College
Game Day there because I was fortunate enough to be
there for for Big doing kickoff and and by the way, uh,
(19:59):
he may be even College Game Day, but you might
have the future on the Bare Beets podcast as just
six and oh with thy outright dog winners. Yeah, pretty
good way to go out of my man.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Well, I know you used to be the ear the
whisper in his ear. I wonder if if you were
the whisper in his ear last week. Let's get let's
get to the picks from this week. Syhawks Syhawks on
Fox Cyclones are three and a half point favorites at
home against the Hawk Guys. Hawkeys put up thirty four,
but they played Albany, right, they played Albany. We haven't
(20:29):
seen the Cyclones since uh, I mean, I know they've
eat South Dakota, but they survived Kansas State. Thirty five
is the number the over unders forty one and a half.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
It's weird, like one thing you can always expect in
this game, and it's cliche and it's kind of a
narrative in a trend, but it's actually true. Is a close,
low scoring game. Only once in the last ten years
have we seen both teams score twenty points in the
game six straight fourteen in the last sixteen have gone
under the toll. And that's including the last three years
(21:02):
when you've had totals of like thirty five and a half,
thirty six, and thirty nine. So like these games have
going into the game looked like they were going to
go under and they have been able to put a
total low enough. So again, I think there's some forty
ones out there that you could probably get I would
get back. I still probably going to go down. And
(21:22):
I worry about Iowa in this game, just because there
was so much writing about Markronowski, the quarterback coming in
from the SCS level, and he just did not look
good last week. Now it's a new offense, it's a
new team, it's a new system, it's a new level.
But Casey and Iowa State defense, it's got some guys
on that defensive line orange in one of them. They
(21:44):
got a secondary that they were able to kind of
shut down Avery Johnson and Kansas State for a good
part of that game until the end. It feels like
that Iowa State indeed is the better team. And if
I had to play the game, I would play the clones.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Okay, let's get a couple of a couple others this weekend.
Baylor I thought got pushed around by Auburn. I thought
that was the classic. That was the classic. Sec our
lines are just better than yours, right, So now they
take on SMU who dominated the ACC last year, and Baylor,
who they thought this was kind of the turnaround here.
(22:19):
So that's a fast seven days to go now and
take on your art trival over in Dallas. The numbers
the SMU is a two and a half point favorite
at home, and the totals much higher sixty four and
a half.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Well, I'll tell you a lot if you're you're Dave
Randa and that Baylor staff. I mean this is you
hate to say muff win, but it's a must win.
If you were to lose your opener and home to
Auburn and really incapable of stopping the run, like you
mentioned what it looked like in the trench of auburnd
could have run the ball all day long and then
you would turn around and lose. They're going to be
(22:58):
howling in wayco to make a change. But the number
is eerily low. For as bad as Baylor looked to
only be a two and a half point favorite on
the road against SMU, who's two years removed now for
being a group of five team, it feels like the
size here, looks like the number is really respecting Baylor.
(23:21):
Thinking that the Bears are the right side here, so
I lean towards Baylor actually getting the getting to win here.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Kansas takes on Missouri. This is a rivalry that goes
back to the Civil War, right when Kansas was a
free state, Missouri was a border state, right, and they
used to be Big eight rivals, Big twelve rivals. Then
Missou splits for the sec they don't play now they
play right and all of a sudden, now Kansas is
solid but Missouri is sec solid. I'm looking at the
(23:54):
number right now. I'm getting Missouri is a six and
a half point favorite in the totals fifty and.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
A half highlight Kansas for this game. I think they're
live to win the game. I think the Kansas team
that we saw in the opener against President State, obviously
great Papoula was fine for for Missouri last week, but
we saw this coming from Kansas last year. Lost a
bunch of games early in the year. Last year with
Jalen Daniels was hurt. By the end of the year,
(24:21):
they were beaten Colorado, they were beaten by U, They
were beaten all the best teams in the in the
Big twelve by by the end of the year. And
I think the changes that you saw Las Life, pole
Bag on a staff, welcoming back, Matt little bit At,
some of the other guys on that coaching staff is
really paying diffends. I think the Kansas defense is better too.
It feels like a lot of points here for me,
(24:43):
I said, And you know, from playing playing basketball in
the Big twelve, Missouri Kansas was a very, very heated,
ugly rivalry, and I'm sure that atmosphere is going to
be not in a weekend where there are not a
lot of great games, this is one that you're certainly
going to want to make the time to watch.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, I mean, who would have thought that Missouri Kansas
would be sec Big twelve and a good football game?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
But it should be.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Okay, here's a weird one, OHSU, but a different not
Oregon State Oklahoma State. Mile Motter going to Oregon. There's
been some back and forth between the coaches. Ducks are
a twenty eight and a half point favorite. Twenty eight
and a half point favorite. Now, part of it is
Oklahoma State is going to be without has Henny, who
of course started the season at quarterback transfer from TCU,
(25:31):
broke a bone his foot out for a couple of weeks,
so that's part of it. Part of it is Organ's
really good and they are really well funded. But twenty
eight and a half seems like a huge number, and
fifty five and a half is the total.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
This reminds me we just gouts done talking on the
Ebbs of Barbers podcast about this, Sammy and Jeff and
I like, this reminds me of the Colorado Oregon game
a couple of years ago. Colorado would come in and
call it undefeated, pulled a couple of upsets earlier in
the year, and there was so much hype surrounding them
and talk, and then Oregon just absolutely put it on
(26:07):
them at Autin and the next viral clip of Dan
Lanning in the locker room talking about where we're playing
for chips and they're playing for clicks or whatever it was.
This looks everything that Mike Gundy said early in the week.
It has the illusion of they turned on ten minutes
of the film and we're like, this isn't gonna go well,
and Gunny's just trying to throw them things out there
(26:29):
and just kind of take the pressure a little bit
off of his team and go go with the expectation
that they know they're not gonna have much of a
chance to win this game. I think this could be
a very ugly game up at altod on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Ooh, very ugly game. That's not good for the Polkes
Doug Otliep show here on Fox Sports Traded. That's the
voice of Chris Felika. If you check out the bear
Bets podcast, you get the best advice on betting from
anybody in the world. I just again, I made that
last part up, He joins us now on Fox Fox
Sports Radio. Okay, a coup more Vandy going to Virginia Tech.
(27:05):
Virginia Tech falls falls to South Carolina. Vandy who had
a surprising season last year. Right, they're on the road
in Blacksburg, so one point line, forty seven half survavor
is the total.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
This is actually one of the games that I have
written up and I gave it on the pod as
one of my better bets for the week. I like
Virginia Tech in this game. I know offensively they did
not look good on Sunday against South Carolina, but defensively
they played really well. They allowed the touchdown on the
opening drive, the scripted drive of the game, and then
(27:39):
after that they allowed a punt return touchdown and then
a sixty eight yard bomb or whatever it was late
late in the game when the game was kind of
already out of hand. So like other their defense played well.
And I'm not sure I know Diego Paba is a
popular guy, but last year, I think there's a bitter
revenge as well. A lost to and Andy early in
the year really sent the hok He's kind of spiraling
(28:01):
towards a disappointing season. And I think I think the
fact that they got that South Carolina game in and
they really had chances to hang around in there and
just couldn't make plays. I think their defense and playing
at home as a difference. I do like Virginia Tech here.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Okay, big game of the weekend is Michigan taking on Oklahoma.
This one is in Norman, and Bryce Underwood is the
talk of the town. But he's a freshman. He's a
freshman and he's going against a season vet at quarterback
and a very very very well coached defense that's been
(28:37):
remade Matier three ninety two, three touchdowns as advertised for
OU So Michigan maybe a year la or maybe not.
They're four and a half point dogs in Norman. Totals
forty four and a half, the only.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Ranked game of the weekend. This reminds me a little
bit of that Alabama Oklahoma game from a year ago,
ugly low scoring type of game. And remember think back
to last week of the opening week at Arch banning
young quarterback baking his first real start. Me let's with
all apologies to the Mississippi State last year struggled on
(29:14):
the road. Texas lost the game by Censon. Alabama makes
the first start, goes on the road, Florida State struggled,
lost the game CJ card. Notre Dame one on the road,
struggled early, played really well late. Notre Dame lost to Miami.
Kind of the same. Deely with bright Thunderwood and Michigan
young quarterback going on the road to a hostile environment
(29:34):
gets defensive minded head coach. I think points are going
to be hard to come by. You look at the
Obloma offense. I know Matier threw the ball all over
the place last week, but at the same time, that
offensive line really didn't generate much of a push in
their ability to run the ball. Maybe we'll see something different.
That Michigan defense obviously is much better. The total has
(29:55):
come down quite a bit to like forty four and
a half now forty five or so. Probably going to
continue to come down Michigan team total under twenty and
a half might be something that I look at in
this game as well. But again, this is this should
be a very ugly type game to watch.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
It's a fresh beginning for so many because the start
of the NFL regular season is tonight, but it's the
end for one. Amari Cooper notified the Raiders today that
he is retiring. He signed with the team last week.
Of course, the Raiders drafted him when they were in
Oakland in the first round in twenty fifteen. Raiders offensive
(31:39):
coordinator Chip Kelly said that Cooper called up head coach
Pete Carol this morning and said, doesn't have the desire
to play anymore. So Amari Cooper is hanging him up.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And this is interesting, right, I mean, it's the old
da play football because you love it and the answer
is no. And the difference now as opposed to twenty
thirty years ago. His guys make enough money to where
they can walk away they don't need it. But man,
there was a guy who was well regarded, but then
the Raiders trade him away before they could re up them,
(32:11):
then the Cowboys traded him away. It's like there's a
reason that people fell out of love with Amari Cooper,
and I think the reason is that he wasn't He
just loved the sport. He's just good at it.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
In other news in the NFL, Adam Schefter may have
sounded the alarms in Pittsburgh, but the Steelers put any
worry to rest, saying that Cam Hayward got a day
off now the defensive tackle has not been happy with
his contract situation. Schefter tweeted that Hayward was not present
at the opening of practice today and not in uniform,
but the Steelers just listed him as having a day off,
(32:44):
a veteran's day of rest.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
For Cambaran's day of rest. Not happy with his contract.
And this is what happens when you re up guys
redo guys for one year. Then other veterans are like, hey,
I'm coming up too, I want to get iver, we
want to get my deal. Redone Steelers among the five
most interesting teams in the NFL. Right, yes, this is
(33:08):
very unstealer. Like a lot of trade away pickens. Get
Aaron Rodgers, waited forever for Aaron Rodgers, Right, change offensive coordinators,
a lot of contracts lined up to this is the
funny year, interesting team.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, I made that trade with the Dolphins to bring
in Jalen Ramsey and John and Smith. TJ. Watts got
his deal, and yeah, obviously it all starts with Aaron Rodgers.
A report from ESPN says the Eagles did reach out
to the Cowboys to try and trade for Micaeh Parsons
this preseason, something Dallas was not interested in doing.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Listen, I think it's it's brilliant to always always ask,
always ask, But there's like zero point zero percent chance
the Cowboys wherever trading him to the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I think that.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yes, I agree, Hey, I heard Michael Parson app you
want to trade him?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
What it's such like an insult too as well, Like
it's such an insult to all Jerry Jones and say
that because what you're saying is not only are we
either a mocking you, but be that we may think
that you may be crazy enough to do this, and
so just making the call is so disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yes, in their face, speaking of disrespect, the opposite of
that is respect. Josh Allen getting some respect and love
from his alma mater. Wyoming is going to retire his
number seventeen Jersey during their home finale when they face
Nevada on November twenty seconds.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
What was his career record at Wyoming? Do we know?
I just wonder. I wonder. I'm asking because everybody made
fun of Shador Sanders thirteen twelve got his number retired.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I do not have his record off hand, collegiate record.
I know it could probably be a quick on. It
was not good football. Here we go fifteen and ten.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Better than Shador. Retire that number four.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
To one, then eight and six, and eight and three
in his final season. There you finally. Doug y'ahoo sports
broke the news that the NCAA Football Overside Committee is
reportedly voted to support a single transfer portal window, which
would span ten days in early January, just needs to
be approved by the administrative committee.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
The only one window, just one? Yeah, when will they
GetUp to it? You get only one transfer, that's when
we're making some bad way.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
That's that press.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
They get out there and pressed.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Jay su, what's the year?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I'll take it from here.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I want everybody to go back to nineteen ninety six.
If you're sitting in your car and.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So much good hair, then.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Oh, what is it? Twenty nine years ago? Twenty nine
years ago? The Dallas Cowboys went on the road to
face the Eagles in September of nineteen ninety six Cowboys.
For those who didn't the documentary, I'm going to fill
in the blanks a little bit here. Think about what
the Cowboys were doing in September of nineteen ninety six.
(02:06):
They had just won their third Super Bowl in four years.
Boy did they have an offseason. Michael Irvin settled a
case where he had a bunch of coke and hookers
at the White House. He settled a case and was
suspended by the NFL. So the Cowboys played the Eagles
(02:26):
in September of nineteen ninety six without the playmaker, but
they pulled out the wins. Still good for the Cowboys,
but he had all the notables Troy Aikman, Deon Sanders,
and At Smith in that game. The quarterback of the
nineteen ninety six Philadelphia Eagles that night was Rodney Pete.
Ironically is doing local radio in Los Angeles right now.
(02:50):
You enjoy him and his wife, Holly Robinson Pete on
many reality ventures. Great game, great year for the Cowboys
until it wasn't as their streak of Super Bowls came
to an end, Dan Byer, what do you remember most
from that sports year of nineteen ninety six?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
What a great year it was, nineteen ninety six. It
would have been the second half of my freshman year
in college and then the early part of the sophomore year.
I believe nineteen ninety six was that the first year
that the Ravens we're in the National Football League as well,
and in moving from Cleveland to Baltimore. Sounds right, Yeah,
(03:36):
somewhere around that time, correct, Dan, Thank you very much.
It was quite the change. And the only reason that
I remember that is because I lived with two of
my friends in college were from Cleveland and they were
just distraught that the Browns were leaving and the Baltimore
Ravens started to play in nineteen ninety six. Do you
(03:59):
want to know in the world of golf in nineteen
ninety six always the standout from nineteen ninety six, it
was a non Ryder Cup year. Happened in Augusta, Georgia
in early April, second week, in fact, the second Sunday,
so when Greg Norman had the ultimate collapse as Nick
(04:21):
Faldo captured his third green jacket. So Nick Faldo wins
the Masters. Greg Norman's let's just face it legacy cemented
with that collapse in the final day chokea it sure was.
Mark Brooks won the PGA Championship. Steve Jones won the
US Open that year, Tom Layman breaking through with an
(04:45):
Open Championship win. That was golf in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Golf h Well, nineteen ninety six in the NBA was well,
the Bulls taking down the SuperSonics, right, and that series
was interesting, right because Bulls jumped out to a three
(05:11):
nothing lead and then you know, Gary Payton said, now
I got to start guarding Michael Jordan and it got
a little closer. But some of the names that you remember,
George Carl was the coach of the Sonics, Gary Payton,
Sean Kemp, the rainmaker, and of course this was this
was the was this the third of the three peat?
(05:32):
Was this beginning of first, first and the second three peat?
Verst the second three Peat nineteen ninety six bulls Bulls
end up winning the title.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Guys, it was an Olympic year in Atlanta, and everyone
remembers the bombing and Centennial Park in Atlanta. I remember
the pride of the Baylor Bearers. I remember the wacko
from Waco, Michael Johnson, and yes, I just made up
that nickname because of alliteration. Michael Johnson won the two
(06:07):
hundred and the four hundred. Carrie Strug was also in
that Olympics as the as the now notorious and controversial
coach Well, I forget his name, Dan's very good with it?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Was it Bella?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Corol Bell hugging Carrie Shrug as she stuck a landing
with a broken ankle. Everyone remembers brained ankle. Okay, sprain
is worse than a break. That's what everyone told me
when I rolled my ankle. Yeah, it would have been
better if you broke it. Yeah, I know you're the
eight hundredth person that has told me, thank.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
You, sprain worse than a break. Though.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Remember I had not heard that it was, she said,
I I've never heard that before. Sprain ankles worse than
a break.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yes, longer to heal, never properly heals. They're always going
to be dealing with that sprain. If you break it,
it can heal completely and quicker.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You break it, you buy it.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I learned that growing up, going to seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
What can he break in seven to eleven? Like a
beer bottle? I don't know what candy I was.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I kind of did it. I was. I thought that
was really funny. Until I went seven eleven. I thought
it was good.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Might breaking.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I mean something famous happened in Iowa in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Let's see, I thought we did.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I hate to break this to you. I think we
did ninety six.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Oh yeah, well we've actually done every year.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I think we did ninety six, like really recently, and
maybe J stew was out.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I can tell you this. Iowa made it to the
NCAA tournament. They played in Tempe, Arizona in first round play.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
J R.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Kotch. I think Andre Woolridge was a member of that team,
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No, Andrew Wilwrisch was gone.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Was he? Jr?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Visit? J visit Notre Dame with me. Fell asleep at
a party on her visit was a bunch of party.
Now his son I think plays in Iowa.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Jared was the second round pick of the New York Knickerbockers.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
After the coaching change, they have like a whole new team.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh that's right, he No, some of them stayed. I
got a couple. Yeah, I can't remember where he went
and we stayed. I think he stayed.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I think Andre Woolridge was the MVP of the ninety
five ninety six whoa, I was wrong, Iowa Hawkeye's team.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Hush, guys, Andre Wilward's kind of a weird game. Not
gonna lie to you. Really big strong point guard. That's
a serious situation. NI scenario. Uh, you know. Nineteen ninety
six in baseball, it was all I remember about it
(08:44):
was that the Yankees won. But wasn't that their first
title with Cheeter was another first of the of the titles.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yes, Jeeter was a rookie or maybe a second year guy.
Jim Laertz was the one name I remember from that
World Series was.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That when the kid at the Baltimore game caught the
ball in the outfield and the what was the kids'.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Name, Jeffrey Meyer.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Jeffrey Meyer was that Jeffrey Meyer year sounds right?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Maybe around that time?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay, they played the Orioles in the in the ALCS,
So that was what it was almost positive, I want
to say that was game one. How am I doing?
Nobody knows how many as.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I remember, Brett Favre got his first and only Super
Bowl ring in the season of ninety six, and of
course that was the Packers team and the quarterback that
was supposed to just run off a bunch of Super Bowls.
They made it back to the next year, only to
lose to the Broncos and then far I have never
touched the Super Bowl again.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
What was uh, what was in their headphones when they
took the took the field to one.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
The wait, no, we don't know yet. We don't know
just yet. Because ninety six sat remember when I mentioned
the Ravens that they came into the league. It's also
the second year of the Jaguars and Panthers.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Any way, to like the conference finals, right.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Both of them made it to the NFC Championship Game
and AFC Championship Game, ultimately losing. I was at that
NFC Championship game at Lambeau between the Panthers and Packers. Really, yes,
that would have been in the game, would have been
in ninety seven, but again from the ninety six season
is what we really care about. But it was also, yes,
the emergence of the expansion teams, and I believe the
(10:27):
rule was the expansion teams could sign regular free agents.
So I thought that was the rule. And then the
NFL changed like, well, that can't happen again, because these
teams were really good right away and they're like, all right,
you got to take your lumps. At some point. I
think they changed some of the roster building rules because
of the Jacksonville and Carolina success that season.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Panthers and Jaguars, two expansion teams going to the Conference
Shatle game in their second year in existence. Was a
lot of things. It was coincidental. It was maybe maybe
uh too fast, too quick. One thing it wasn't, guys, was.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Ironic, don't you think.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Alanis Morissett's third single off her Jagged Little Pill album
that was a breakout album in nineteen ninety five. I
consider it a female grunge album, which is Iowa Sam
agrees with me on that one, so good front to
back this song, though she points out in her lyrics,
(11:36):
a bunch of things that are like unfortunate, Uh, they're
coincidental there maybe tragically bad luck, yeah, unfortunate, but none
of them are ironic. There's nothing ironic about rain on
Ryan on your wedding day. That's not ironic, son, No,
it sucks, it's unfortunate. But the textbook definite of irony
(12:01):
does not have anything to do with those with that comparison.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Describes a situation where is in contrast between what is
expected and what actually happens. Statement that means the opposite
of the literal meaning, So rain in your wedding day, yes,
that would that would not be ironic. What's the other ones?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
It's a free ride when you've already paid again, that sucks.
You're out money and you found out that it's free.
Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit, but it's not ironic.
And a black fly in your chardinage, it is just gross.
It's just bad luck and it's gross. It's not ironic.
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I think I think she was actually playing us because
she did this so that we'd be like it's ironic,
that everything in her song called ironic is not ironic.
So it was actually just like she was just playing
three D chess.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, a landismore set right. The song.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I'll let Sam venture on that one, but I will say.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
This, traffic traffic jamminari late also not ironic.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
A death row pardon two minutes too late, Like the song,
instead of being called ironic, should have been things that suck.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Pardon me, uh dor, he's dead, He's.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Dead ironic written by Alanis Morsett and Glenn Ballard.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It was Glenn Ballard.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I bumped into Glenn writes Ballards like his name is Glenn.
There's no way his actual name is Glen Ballad.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Do your think of ballad A ballad?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, I almost bumped into Alanis Morris set in these hallways. Wow, yes,
that would have been ironic. And I'll say this, I think, yeah.
The the littlest thing, like we both came around the
corner at the same time, and just that two second
interaction where she was polite and said, oh, you know,
(13:51):
excuse me. Guess what I've thought Alanis Morissett And she
probably is a lovely woman, but just that interaction I've
had with her, I've always held in a high regard
because of that.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
She's Canadian, so she's very police.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
She says the same thing about you in movies This
was back in the era where Will Smith dominated the
fourth July none as much as the box office smash
Independence Day. Independence Day it was the number one movie.
Think about this. Of the top ten movies, I believe
five of them have been made into sequels. Right, Twister
(14:27):
was number two. That's been a sequel. Mission Impossible. That
was the first of the remake of the Mission Impossible,
the tom Cruise series, The Rock. I have Sir Sean
Conry on The Rock.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I love The Rock. Hold Up, it does hold up.
I think I recommend it. I wanted to watch it
with Christina's son because we were going to go see Alcatraz,
and that's great Alcatraz movie.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
It's a ripped rowing good time. It really is.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah. Well, instead you could see The US Open Tomorrow
where we'll see if Novak Djokovic can escape from Al Karaz. Yeah,
there you go, Nutty, Professor Jerry maguire complete me you complete.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
My My favorite movie that year was Fargo. Uh. Francis
McDermott won for Best Actors in that movie. I want
to say it was one of three Oscars for acting.
A movie that almost nobody saw but was celebrated was
called The English patient. Anyone in this room ever see
the English?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
No English patient was one, Like, I gotta see that.
I got to read that book. I gotta see that
movie won the Academy Award, didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
It Best Picture? Yep?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Was that like the visual of the plane that crashes
in the desert? Or am I thinking like chocolat?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I think no, chack Alotte was really good. Now that
was where. Yeah, it was a plane that crashed in
the desert, and its the story of a nurse who
takes care of this guy.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Right sounds right? Uh? Ray finds is that his name Rafe? Yeah? No,
Ray finds.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Raife?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Like, I don't think it's.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
There's a joke, circles. I said that he's his name
is Ralph finds. His name is Ray findes Ray like Raymond.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Ray finds money. Everybody loves speaking of.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Ralph?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Was Kansas?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I think that was ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
By Georgia in the second round.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yes, that was that year, Yes, yes, thank you? And
then Syracuse be and then Syracuse be Georgia right, and
then Syracuse played in the National Championship Game and we
I was a Notre dame that year. We had Syracuse
down fifteenth to a half at their place. Last game
in the regular season six with a minute ago. You
know what at the carry dow and loss.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Kansas was upset by UH Syracuse in the Elite eight,
Perdue was the number one seed that in the West Region.
They lost to jean Ja Big Dog. That's what it was.
But Kansas was upset by Jason Syracuse Orange.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
John Wallace, do you what mean Jason Syracuse Orange?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Jason backs Syracuse?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
My favorite team, my favorite team growing up.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You have favorite team growing up to you do?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Dad lived out in Syracuse, right, something like that. Entire
families from the three to one five we go, shout
out to the.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Three one, shout out to the three one five. I
do also want to say this, I say it. I
don't want to pat myself on the back, but I'm
going to because my two NFL notes were actually a
part of the nineteen ninety six Wikipedia page Ravens leaving
and the success of the Jaguars and Panthers. But one
thing that I did not know, this is very surprising.
(17:50):
This is amazing that the NFC championship game from that
season of the Packers and Panthers. Yes, was the first
time in history that the Cowboys, forty nine Ers, Redskins
or Rams were not in the game. The first NFC
Championship game was in nineteen seventy. It took him till
(18:11):
nineteen ninety six season in the ninety seven game to
not have one of those four teams in the championship game.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Great and that is don't call it throwback Thursday.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Don't call it a throwback throw back thirst. Fox Sports

Speaker 2 (18:40):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
He joins us every week and we promote his pod
because really good. You see him on the set of
Big Name Kickoff. He's the one and only Bear. He's
Chris Felika felixs. Let's let's just start before we get
to the games. I know it was really cool of
Fox Sports to broadcast last head gear of Lee Corso.
(19:02):
You put out a couple of things on social media
about working with Corso as long as you did as
his head researcher before you got on air. Uh, what
was that like to kind of be a part of
the end of an era even though you'd left ESPN.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
It was great. It really brought back a lot of
emotions if I made me think about the old days
at college game Day when I was just doing a
whole bunch of interviews and such to But but it
was great to be there. And look, it was I
think a purpose two networks being able to say, you
know what, we let's coexist and do what's best with
the sports fan out there watching Big Noon, you've gotta
be able to watch the final head gear. You're you're
(19:39):
you're at ESPN. Basically do what you want to send
Corso out with the way that the way that he should.
So it was was great to be there in person.
It was great to see him and some of the
other people who used to be a part of College
Game Day there because I was fortunate enough to be
there for for Big doing kickoff and and by the way, uh,
(19:59):
he may be even College Game Day, but you might
have the future on the Bare Beets podcast as just
six and oh with thy outright dog winners. Yeah, pretty
good way to go out of my man.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Well, I know you used to be the ear the
whisper in his ear. I wonder if if you were
the whisper in his ear last week. Let's get let's
get to the picks from this week. Syhawks Syhawks on
Fox Cyclones are three and a half point favorites at
home against the Hawk Guys. Hawkeys put up thirty four,
but they played Albany, right, they played Albany. We haven't
(20:29):
seen the Cyclones since uh, I mean, I know they've
eat South Dakota, but they survived Kansas State. Thirty five
is the number the over unders forty one and a half.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
It's weird, like one thing you can always expect in
this game, and it's cliche and it's kind of a
narrative in a trend, but it's actually true. Is a close,
low scoring game. Only once in the last ten years
have we seen both teams score twenty points in the
game six straight fourteen in the last sixteen have gone
under the toll. And that's including the last three years
(21:02):
when you've had totals of like thirty five and a half,
thirty six, and thirty nine. So like these games have
going into the game looked like they were going to
go under and they have been able to put a
total low enough. So again, I think there's some forty
ones out there that you could probably get I would
get back. I still probably going to go down. And
(21:22):
I worry about Iowa in this game, just because there
was so much writing about Markronowski, the quarterback coming in
from the SCS level, and he just did not look
good last week. Now it's a new offense, it's a
new team, it's a new system, it's a new level.
But Casey and Iowa State defense, it's got some guys
on that defensive line orange in one of them. They
(21:44):
got a secondary that they were able to kind of
shut down Avery Johnson and Kansas State for a good
part of that game until the end. It feels like
that Iowa State indeed is the better team. And if
I had to play the game, I would play the clones.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Okay, let's get a couple of a couple others this weekend.
Baylor I thought got pushed around by Auburn. I thought
that was the classic. That was the classic. Sec our
lines are just better than yours, right, So now they
take on SMU who dominated the ACC last year, and Baylor,
who they thought this was kind of the turnaround here.
(22:19):
So that's a fast seven days to go now and
take on your art trival over in Dallas. The numbers
the SMU is a two and a half point favorite
at home, and the totals much higher sixty four and
a half.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Well, I'll tell you a lot if you're you're Dave
Randa and that Baylor staff. I mean this is you
hate to say muff win, but it's a must win.
If you were to lose your opener and home to
Auburn and really incapable of stopping the run, like you
mentioned what it looked like in the trench of auburnd
could have run the ball all day long and then
you would turn around and lose. They're going to be
(22:58):
howling in wayco to make a change. But the number
is eerily low. For as bad as Baylor looked to
only be a two and a half point favorite on
the road against SMU, who's two years removed now for
being a group of five team, it feels like the
size here, looks like the number is really respecting Baylor.
(23:21):
Thinking that the Bears are the right side here, so
I lean towards Baylor actually getting the getting to win here.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Kansas takes on Missouri. This is a rivalry that goes
back to the Civil War, right when Kansas was a
free state, Missouri was a border state, right, and they
used to be Big eight rivals, Big twelve rivals. Then
Missou splits for the sec they don't play now they
play right and all of a sudden, now Kansas is
solid but Missouri is sec solid. I'm looking at the
(23:54):
number right now. I'm getting Missouri is a six and
a half point favorite in the totals fifty and.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
A half highlight Kansas for this game. I think they're
live to win the game. I think the Kansas team
that we saw in the opener against President State, obviously
great Papoula was fine for for Missouri last week, but
we saw this coming from Kansas last year. Lost a
bunch of games early in the year. Last year with
Jalen Daniels was hurt. By the end of the year,
(24:21):
they were beaten Colorado, they were beaten by U, They
were beaten all the best teams in the in the
Big twelve by by the end of the year. And
I think the changes that you saw Las Life, pole
Bag on a staff, welcoming back, Matt little bit At,
some of the other guys on that coaching staff is
really paying diffends. I think the Kansas defense is better too.
It feels like a lot of points here for me,
(24:43):
I said, And you know, from playing playing basketball in
the Big twelve, Missouri Kansas was a very, very heated,
ugly rivalry, and I'm sure that atmosphere is going to
be not in a weekend where there are not a
lot of great games, this is one that you're certainly
going to want to make the time to watch.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, I mean, who would have thought that Missouri Kansas
would be sec Big twelve and a good football game?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
But it should be.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Okay, here's a weird one, OHSU, but a different not
Oregon State Oklahoma State. Mile Motter going to Oregon. There's
been some back and forth between the coaches. Ducks are
a twenty eight and a half point favorite. Twenty eight
and a half point favorite. Now, part of it is
Oklahoma State is going to be without has Henny, who
of course started the season at quarterback transfer from TCU,
(25:31):
broke a bone his foot out for a couple of weeks,
so that's part of it. Part of it is Organ's
really good and they are really well funded. But twenty
eight and a half seems like a huge number, and
fifty five and a half is the total.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
This reminds me we just gouts done talking on the
Ebbs of Barbers podcast about this, Sammy and Jeff and
I like, this reminds me of the Colorado Oregon game
a couple of years ago. Colorado would come in and
call it undefeated, pulled a couple of upsets earlier in
the year, and there was so much hype surrounding them
and talk, and then Oregon just absolutely put it on
(26:07):
them at Autin and the next viral clip of Dan
Lanning in the locker room talking about where we're playing
for chips and they're playing for clicks or whatever it was.
This looks everything that Mike Gundy said early in the week.
It has the illusion of they turned on ten minutes
of the film and we're like, this isn't gonna go well,
and Gunny's just trying to throw them things out there
(26:29):
and just kind of take the pressure a little bit
off of his team and go go with the expectation
that they know they're not gonna have much of a
chance to win this game. I think this could be
a very ugly game up at altod on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Ooh, very ugly game. That's not good for the Polkes
Doug Otliep show here on Fox Sports Traded. That's the
voice of Chris Felika. If you check out the bear
Bets podcast, you get the best advice on betting from
anybody in the world. I just again, I made that
last part up, He joins us now on Fox Fox
Sports Radio. Okay, a coup more Vandy going to Virginia Tech.
(27:05):
Virginia Tech falls falls to South Carolina. Vandy who had
a surprising season last year. Right, they're on the road
in Blacksburg, so one point line, forty seven half survavor
is the total.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
This is actually one of the games that I have
written up and I gave it on the pod as
one of my better bets for the week. I like
Virginia Tech in this game. I know offensively they did
not look good on Sunday against South Carolina, but defensively
they played really well. They allowed the touchdown on the
opening drive, the scripted drive of the game, and then
(27:39):
after that they allowed a punt return touchdown and then
a sixty eight yard bomb or whatever it was late
late in the game when the game was kind of
already out of hand. So like other their defense played well.
And I'm not sure I know Diego Paba is a
popular guy, but last year, I think there's a bitter
revenge as well. A lost to and Andy early in
the year really sent the hok He's kind of spiraling
(28:01):
towards a disappointing season. And I think I think the
fact that they got that South Carolina game in and
they really had chances to hang around in there and
just couldn't make plays. I think their defense and playing
at home as a difference. I do like Virginia Tech here.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Okay, big game of the weekend is Michigan taking on Oklahoma.
This one is in Norman, and Bryce Underwood is the
talk of the town. But he's a freshman. He's a
freshman and he's going against a season vet at quarterback
and a very very very well coached defense that's been
(28:37):
remade Matier three ninety two, three touchdowns as advertised for
OU So Michigan maybe a year la or maybe not.
They're four and a half point dogs in Norman. Totals
forty four and a half, the only.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Ranked game of the weekend. This reminds me a little
bit of that Alabama Oklahoma game from a year ago,
ugly low scoring type of game. And remember think back
to last week of the opening week at Arch banning
young quarterback baking his first real start. Me let's with
all apologies to the Mississippi State last year struggled on
(29:14):
the road. Texas lost the game by Censon. Alabama makes
the first start, goes on the road, Florida State struggled,
lost the game CJ card. Notre Dame one on the road,
struggled early, played really well late. Notre Dame lost to Miami.
Kind of the same. Deely with bright Thunderwood and Michigan
young quarterback going on the road to a hostile environment
(29:34):
gets defensive minded head coach. I think points are going
to be hard to come by. You look at the
Obloma offense. I know Matier threw the ball all over
the place last week, but at the same time, that
offensive line really didn't generate much of a push in
their ability to run the ball. Maybe we'll see something different.
That Michigan defense obviously is much better. The total has
(29:55):
come down quite a bit to like forty four and
a half now forty five or so. Probably going to
continue to come down Michigan team total under twenty and
a half might be something that I look at in
this game as well. But again, this is this should
be a very ugly type game to watch.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
It's a fresh beginning for so many because the start
of the NFL regular season is tonight, but it's the
end for one. Amari Cooper notified the Raiders today that
he is retiring. He signed with the team last week.
Of course, the Raiders drafted him when they were in
Oakland in the first round in twenty fifteen. Raiders offensive
(31:39):
coordinator Chip Kelly said that Cooper called up head coach
Pete Carol this morning and said, doesn't have the desire
to play anymore. So Amari Cooper is hanging him up.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And this is interesting, right, I mean, it's the old
da play football because you love it and the answer
is no. And the difference now as opposed to twenty
thirty years ago. His guys make enough money to where
they can walk away they don't need it. But man,
there was a guy who was well regarded, but then
the Raiders trade him away before they could re up them,
(32:11):
then the Cowboys traded him away. It's like there's a
reason that people fell out of love with Amari Cooper,
and I think the reason is that he wasn't He
just loved the sport. He's just good at it.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
In other news in the NFL, Adam Schefter may have
sounded the alarms in Pittsburgh, but the Steelers put any
worry to rest, saying that Cam Hayward got a day
off now the defensive tackle has not been happy with
his contract situation. Schefter tweeted that Hayward was not present
at the opening of practice today and not in uniform,
but the Steelers just listed him as having a day off,
(32:44):
a veteran's day of rest.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
For Cambaran's day of rest. Not happy with his contract.
And this is what happens when you re up guys
redo guys for one year. Then other veterans are like, hey,
I'm coming up too, I want to get iver, we
want to get my deal. Redone Steelers among the five
most interesting teams in the NFL. Right, yes, this is
(33:08):
very unstealer. Like a lot of trade away pickens. Get
Aaron Rodgers, waited forever for Aaron Rodgers, Right, change offensive coordinators,
a lot of contracts lined up to this is the
funny year, interesting team.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, I made that trade with the Dolphins to bring
in Jalen Ramsey and John and Smith. TJ. Watts got
his deal, and yeah, obviously it all starts with Aaron Rodgers.
A report from ESPN says the Eagles did reach out
to the Cowboys to try and trade for Micaeh Parsons
this preseason, something Dallas was not interested in doing.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Listen, I think it's it's brilliant to always always ask,
always ask, But there's like zero point zero percent chance
the Cowboys wherever trading him to the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I think that.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yes, I agree, Hey, I heard Michael Parson app you
want to trade him?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
What it's such like an insult too as well, Like
it's such an insult to all Jerry Jones and say
that because what you're saying is not only are we
either a mocking you, but be that we may think
that you may be crazy enough to do this, and
so just making the call is so disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yes, in their face, speaking of disrespect, the opposite of
that is respect. Josh Allen getting some respect and love
from his alma mater. Wyoming is going to retire his
number seventeen Jersey during their home finale when they face
Nevada on November twenty seconds.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
What was his career record at Wyoming? Do we know?
I just wonder. I wonder. I'm asking because everybody made
fun of Shador Sanders thirteen twelve got his number retired.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I do not have his record off hand, collegiate record.
I know it could probably be a quick on. It
was not good football. Here we go fifteen and ten.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Better than Shador. Retire that number four.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
To one, then eight and six, and eight and three
in his final season. There you finally. Doug y'ahoo sports
broke the news that the NCAA Football Overside Committee is
reportedly voted to support a single transfer portal window, which
would span ten days in early January, just needs to
be approved by the administrative committee.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
The only one window, just one? Yeah, when will they
GetUp to it? You get only one transfer, that's when
we're making some bad way.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
That's that press.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
They get out there and pressed.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
That was the press.
