(01:55):
the blue jays outstanding performance the Dodgers disappointing performance performance
with the last night as the Blue Jay's taken, commanding
three games to lead heading back to Toronto. Apparently again something
I just learned, and I learned this via TikTok. It's Toronto.
You don't say the second T.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Toronto. That's correct, Toronto.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I don't say the second tea.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Went camping with someone from Toronto, Yeah, and she said,
it's not Toronto, it's Toronto, Toronto.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
So I learned something that day.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, So they they call all of the surrounding communities
the GTA, the Greater Toronto area. So we only say,
I guess it's greater Toronto. Why do we say one
tea and at the other T. I need somebody from
Canada to help us out with that one. But it's Toronto, Torontronto, right.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I still think you're saying the second tea a little,
don't you.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Guys, I know, I am here.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I can't It's it's a It's like my Rizzuto if
I was Billy Madison. I can't stop myself. And I've
been in my mind. I've been saying, don't say the
second D Toronto.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's like someone said that it's not Tijuana, it's Tijuana.
That's what That's what someone told me. Don't say Tijuana,
say Tijuana.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Do you have any do you have to sound like
Speedy Gonzalez?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Do you have to do your speedy Toronto. MM, I
don't know Tijuana.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I don't know, I I do. I have the one
fun fact about Tijuana. You know what it is, let's
hear it. It's the place where the caesar salad was invented.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, and I've heard, yeah, I've heard it was invented
in Mexico, which is sort of an interesting fact.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
In Tijuana, Mexico. I think it was a guy named Caesar.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I love Caesar, so I love Caesar. I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I think Caesar dressing is super underrated as like one
of the real Caesar dressing though, no, no, no, like like
it has chunks of parmesan in it and peppercorn, Oh delicious.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Do you know what else it has in it?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Anchovies?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
That's okay?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Gives it the saltiness it does, beay, it does maybe
a little pro in there, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Uh, possibly possibly some protein. Plus everybody throws chicken or salmon.
And there's enough about caesar salad and about Toronto. Let's
do something we do every Thursday where we don't call
it a throwback.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Don't call it a throwback Thursday.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
This is the time of the show on the Doug
Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio, where where we display
our unbelievable historic knowledge. And I turned it over to
Jason Stewart.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Thank you, Doug.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I'll take it from here.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I want the listeners to all go back to one uh,
one time, one year, thirty thirty three years ago, thirty
three years ago, nineteen ninety two. What were you doing
in the fall of nineteen ninety two?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Ooh, I was a two three three. I was a
sophomore in high school.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
There you go. I was a sophomore in college. I
was a sophomore in college. So that tells the listeners
the tears of age that we are.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Dan, where were you sophomore in high school?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Okay, you guys are the same age your birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, I'm older.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He's a year older though.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Okay, but nineteen ninety two, what a year in sports?
Holy crap. Almost to this day, thirty three years ago,
the Toronto Blue Jays won their first World Series time team,
the Toronto Blue Jays first ever World Series title. That
(05:39):
is a story, but maybe the sub story is the
Atlanta Braves, because in the last couple of days I
have I have heard my team, the Dodgers, referred to
as the nineties Braves, and that's a pejorative, that's not
a compliment. That means that they had the best team
in baseball for many, many years and cast it in once.
(06:00):
So the Braves in their second World Series trip in
two years, they just got done getting beat by the
Twins in ninety one, remember, and then they played the
Jayson ninety two and lost in six games. What a
thriller Game six was, though, I'll tell you what. Devon
White had a big night, Roberto even Dave Winfield, all
(06:21):
of these Hall of famers. Mike Timlin closed out the
game that Tom Hanky blue pause, David kne started the game.
Steve Avery for the Braves. And for those who forget
the names on the Braves, remember Otis Nixon, Yeah, like
twenty nine, going on seventy eight. Yes, Deon Sander.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Otis Otis, by the way, is the only guy that
attacks the old black don't crack. Yeah that he didn't crack,
but it was definitely withered.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Deon Sanders is the head coach at Colorado. A lot
of people would not know that thirty three years ago.
Today he was losing a world see with the Braves.
Think about that one, Sid Breem, Mark lemke oh, Terry Pendleton,
just to name a few. Anyways, nineteen ninety two, what
a fall in sports, Dan, What what strikes your fancy
(07:16):
most about nineteen ninety two?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So this is this is gonna shock you. Nineteen ninety
two probably the best year of my childhood. Just so
much fun. I went to a junior high, so the
freshmen were the king of the school. So the first
half of ninety two I was a freshman. A lot
of fun, but sports wise, absolute heartbreak in the NFL.
(07:39):
The Seahawks won two games that year, and Cortes Kennedy
was the NFL's defensive Player of the Year for a
Seahawks team that ended up winning two games. I remember
they beat the Broncos on Monday Night Football. It was
their second win of the season. Pretty crazy, but they
stunk sports wise that NFL season. By the way, the
(08:01):
emergence of the Dallas Cowboys is the power that they
turned in to be under Jimmy Johnson. I also will say,
sports wise, my worst loss is a sports fan, no
doubt about it. Nineteen ninety two Regional final Southeast Regional Lexington, Kentucky.
(08:22):
A day after Christian Lightner and Duke upset Kentucky or
beat Kentucky. On that last second shot by Lightner, Ohio
State had a chance to punch their ticket to the
Final Four. They had beaten Michigan twice in the regular season.
That Michigan team, of course, known as the Fab Five,
with their five freshmen, Ohio State had a chance to
win it. At the end of regulation, Jimmy Jackson lost
(08:45):
control of the ball. It somehow ended up in the
hands of Chris Gent along the baseline and gent panicked shot.
The ball didn't have a chance to go in and
Michigan won in overtime. They ended up going to the
Final four. Were thank goodness. They lost to Duke in
the National Championship game. I loved, but yes, my worst
(09:05):
loss as a sports fan. I loved that Ohio State
basketball team.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
One of the greatest sporting moments of my childhood was
in nineteen ninety two at the Rose Bowl. It was
not the Rose Bowl, You're like, what, No, it was
not the Rose Bowl. It was USC taken on UCLA.
USC was ranked fifteenth in the country. UCLA was what
the kids say mid right mid. They were five and
(09:32):
five at the time. I don't know if you guys
remember the story, but they started a quarterback named John Barnes.
John Barnes was a walk on at San Diego State AH,
and he ended up starting for the Bruins against starting
for the Bruins all season long and started against USC.
(09:54):
He had a wide receiver that you may have heard of,
even though he was kind of a bust in the NFL.
It was JJ Stokes. And again I don't know the
exact stats, but I want to say John Barnes trew
for like four hundred yards and JJ Stokes had like
three hundred yards receiving. But like a former walk on,
lighting up USC at the Rose Bowl was awesome. Thirty
(10:17):
eight thirty seven, Hey thirty. USC's quarterback was Rob Johnson,
and Rob Johnson, by the way, led his team on
what should have been a game winning drive, a sixty
nine yard drive, only to have John Barnes hit JJ
Stokes in a ninety yard touchdown reception. JJ Stokes had
six receptions for two hundred and sixty three yards two
(10:40):
hundred sixty three yards on six catches. I've never seen
anything like it. Since it was unbelievable anyway, Again, that's
just personal, personal moment.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
How many notable players on that USC team? John oh A,
ton Tony BESSELLI, Willie McGuinness, Jason Horn. Wow, I want
to say j J. Stokes. Guys, if you would say
his claim to fame he like meets people in bars
and stuff, would it be I'm the guy who uh
Romanowski is spit in the face of in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No, he was the guy who was supposed to be
uh Jerry Rice's replacement and that did not work.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You want to know what else happened in ninety two
in college football? Yes, sir, first ever conference championship game, Yes,
sc Alabama beat Matthews in Florida. Yes, in Birmingham. I
believe it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Was How much have we evolved in that they played
that game in Birmingham?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I think I think that was the I think that
was the kill.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It is, yes, side of the That's where because that's
where the conference was located, the conference office is located.
That's where they played the Iron Bowl. Auburn played Alabama
there every year and that was the heartbeat of the conference.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Good poll and Alabama won the national title. George Teague,
Gene Stallins. Yes, yes it was Jean Stalins.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I kind of feel the need to bring up the
Dream team in Barcelona that summer. Just such a monumental
sports occurrence, but so much has been written about it,
documentaries and I'm almost dream teamed out and it's thirty
three years later. But in the time living through that,
that was pretty special for the kids out there listening
(12:24):
right now. There was a time when the Olympics would
not accept professional athletes into the games, so these teams
were made up of college stars and the US have
been getting their ass kick right.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
No, no, no, no, let me let me, let me, let me,
let me help you here. Okay, the US was the
only one. They couldn't have pros in it. The other
ones did because they could say they were club teams
and act like they were amateurs. So in nineteen eighty eight,
the late great John Thompson had a team. It wasn't
very good, they couldn't shoot, and they got beat by
(12:58):
the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union had Lithuanian players
obviously had Russian players as well, so it was the
first time that we matched our pros with their pros
and it was. It was a celebration of the sports,
celebration of American basketball. But it was an absolute blood letting,
(13:19):
blood letting. Can anybody remember anything else about the Summer Olympics,
That's my question.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
It was the first Olympics after the end of the
Cold War, first Olympics after the end of the Cold War.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, so again, it coincided with the fact that Russia
was broken up, right, And I don't remember if Yugoslavia
was broken up. I think Slovenia was in at that time,
so I think Yugoslavia broke up as well.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Quick golf note, one of the most popular players that
we've ever seen on tour ended up claiming his first
and only major that year. The ball stayed up on
the bank at the twelfth hole for Fred Couples. He
went on to win the Masters in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Still has great hair. Fred Kevile still has great hair.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
My favorite part about that exchange was that Dan told
Doug what he thinks of Balkan geopolitics by just going
right into golf. He wanted nothing to do with the
Yugoslavia Serbia.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I'll give you the real I'll give you the real backstory.
I had to I had to quickly get in before.
We've all seen that video of Michael Jordan bombing his
head with his headphones. In that video, he was listening
to this at that time. No, I know you're right.
I saw that exact video, Dan, and I'll tell you what.
He had a walkman on and he was strutting to
(14:39):
it was People thought it was like a kind of
a dance tune, but no, it was actually this song. Wow,
this is under the Bridge.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Take Me all the Way. It wasn't the biggest song
of the year, though it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Was number one on the charts for seven weeks. The
punk band it finished eighth. It was number one, but
I guess it finished eighth, and it's what it's average.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
The Red Hot Choice Numbers was a ska punk underground
band from Los Angeles, and they hit it big. I
have often said that this is the point in time
under the Bridge. That was the point in time when
we had to put up with another thirty plus years
of garbage from Red Hot Chili Pepper Come on now,
(15:29):
maybe my least favorite band. They are not very talented
at all. Their catalog of songs is one earworm after
another that you can't stand under there.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Means it gets stuck in your head under the bridge.
This is off Blood Sugar, Sex Magic, which is a
fantastic album front to back when I grew up with
so I will defend this album to the day.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
There's a lot of iconic songs. In nineteen ninety two,
I believe the number one song for the year was
Baby Got Back, Wasn't it Uh? And then I Think They.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Got Back finished number two on the Billboard year end
Hot one hundred.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Number one was Smells Like Teen Spirit, Wasn't it?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
That was ninety.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Ninety No, I thought it was ninety three. End of
the Road Boys to Men was the one that ended
up being.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well. End of the Road was the end of every mixtape. Okay, kids,
what's the mixtape? A mixtape? You used to have these
things called cassette tapes? What's the cassette tape? Well, I
can it's like a VHS tape but smaller, and they
used to have dual dual cassette where could dub it?
So if a girl broke up with you, or if
(16:44):
you broke up with a guy or broke up with
a girl, you'd make a mixtape. Now mixtape you can
make when you were together. But the breakup mixtape always
had sad songs on it, and it usually ended with
end of the Road, which was Apropos and I nic
and oh yeah, by the way, boys to men, proving
that if you want to get ladies, no matter how
(17:05):
ugly you are, sing because those dudes are not good looking,
and yet they were on every wall of every teenager
in America.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Back to our when grunge hit America nineteen ninety one,
nineteen ninety one. But this song, a little bit more upbeat,
finished at number thirteen. Hey, all I can do is
just play it for you. I'm oh yeah, ah yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
You want to talk about earworm? We just ruined everybody's
day the song. Every personalist of the show has just
had their day ruined because the rest of the day,
this is what's going on in their head.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Can I tell you something about I actually learned about
this right said, Fred was a duo. They are brothers.
They were bouncers in like the UK and somehow recorded
this song and just blew up. But they were originally
brothers and they were bouncers at a club, which is
very interesting.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
People now five or six years ago. I got a
notification on Twitter that said, right, said, Fred is following you.
So I followed them back.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
All right, really, so what are they?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What are they doing now?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I think they're singing? Uh? They have two songs. They
have I'm Too Sexy and not I'm Too Sexy.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, So can I do the movies thing? Because I
gotta tell you want to talk about iconic movies? A
few good men. I want the truth. You can't hurdle
the truth, right, great movie reservoir dogs. We can discuss
Tarantino and where that fits in the Tarantino hierarchy. My
cousin Vinnie. My biological clock is ticking over here, right.
(18:49):
The two Uts, I mean, Unforgiven, which I think won
the Academy Award Best Picture, and I think one of
the greatest sports movies all the time, A League of
their Own, League of their Own was amazing, amazing, Last
of the Mohicans, Aladdin, Scent of a Woman, Oh Rah,
(19:11):
Wayne's World, Batman Returns. Okay, that was that one. A
river runs through it. A river runs through it, pretty
basic instinct. The Mighty Ducks the cutting edge underrated sports film.
To pick you have to watch it, do it? Under Siege,
(19:32):
back when Stephen Sagal was a badass Leath the Weapon three,
which I think that's when Joe Peshi first joined the
Leath the Weapon cast the crying game, don't watch the
End's kids, don't watch the end? And Beethoven for the kids,
Oh Aladdin as well.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
All those movies are awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Unbelievable. You're in movies.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Unbelievable, Yeah, Leo gets was that Joe Peschi's character in
the third one? Also, wasn't Renee Russo in that one?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I guess, So I'll give you another one that's kind
of underrated. George Strait was in a movie called Pure Country,
not Bad, not Bad.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
We all remember this iconic line from Wayne's World.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
You begin to spew spew into this.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I mean I said that so many times as a child.
You know that the movie's my gospel. It really is.
I live my life according to Wayne Campbell.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
And that is don't call it a throwback Thursday, don't call.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
It a throwback. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Stuck ottleb Show, Fox Sports Radio. I'm gonna tell a
quick story about this song. Okay, and I know if
you listen to podcast, you can't hear nothing but a
G Thing. So nineteen ninety two I actually became nineteen
ninety three. I think when this came out. I played
a tests in high school. My now assistant coach, Andy
(21:06):
Ground was my head coach. It was his first year
as head coach, and we played against Inglewood High School
in the second round of the CIF playoffs. Paul Pierce
was a sophomore for Inglewood High School, but at the
time he was kind of an unknown. He was heavy,
he came off the bench and he ended up dunking
on us and was crazy. But the story to that
song was, we had it on our mixtape warm up tape.
(21:28):
We're like, oh, nothing but a G thing, it's awesome. Well,
we didn't realize was we were in Orange County, which
is only about forty five minutes from Inglewood, but that
song had been out in Inglewood for months, right, and yeah,
we liked it. But they loved it so much so
that they put on basically a dunk exhibition during warm
(21:49):
ups to that song. And then we got dunked on
during the game. Nineteen ninety two. Hell of a year.
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show. You're listen to Fox Sports Radio,
and we are joined by the Bear himself. That's Chris Felika.
Of course you got the bare Bets podcast. You see
him on Big newon Kickoff on the set as well. Again,
I know we want to get to the SEC games,
(22:10):
but Penn State Ohio State was supposed to be the
game in the Big Ten, the game, and now it's
a game. Ohio State is a twenty and a half
point favorite. Obviously Drew Aller is out for the year,
and then of course James Franklin's been fired. Do you
how do you figure out if you want to put
some money on this game?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Chris, It's amazing because, as you said, you look back
at the start of the year and the look aheadline
in the off season was Ohio State minus three and
a half. So to see it seventeen to eighteen point
move and the number is pretty surreal. It feels to
me like this could be an opportunity where Penn State
(22:49):
has that backdoor open Ohio State. Maybe maybe he's up
twenty four points in the late game and Penn State
gets a late score. Feels to me like that would
be the way to play this game. I have a
hard time laying twenty and a half, whatever it is,
just because I do think that Penn State defense is
(23:10):
still not pretty good. And anytime you're looking to play
a team total under or a game under, you always
have to worry about an hot offensive touchdown, like we
saw with Penn State at Iowa a couple of weeks ago.
So that makes me a little skeptical about the under.
But if you're in one of those pick and pools
and you're looking at this game, I would lean towards
(23:30):
taking the twenty and a half. With Penn State here.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I would too. I would too. I mean again, I
think there's a lot of pride in that program, and
I think they have good players in that program. But again,
you just don't know who's going to play and who's
not right, you know, with guys kind of shutting it
down if you will. All right, let's let's get to
some of the bigger ones. I want to also ask
you about your canes for people who don't know Felick's
University of Miami alum A couple of weeks ago, they
(23:56):
lose to Louisville. They bounce back smashing Stanford. Now they
take on SMU, who last year snuck in the playoff.
This year obviously haven't been the same, but it still
is a road game. It is in Highland Park up
in Dallas, and SMU is a home dog at twelve
and a half. How do you feel about your canes
going into Dallas?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
And it's also the first time this year in Miami
has left the state of Florida, so that the traveler
and then we did go to Florida State and took
there Florida State pretty handily. But this is a little different, different,
different piece. Carrie. What worries me the most from a
Miami standpoint is you know that RHT Lashley SMU, head coach,
former Miami offensive coordinator, has had this game circled for
(24:40):
quite some time. I do worry a little bit about that.
But at the same time, I do wonder if Kevin
Jennings is the same guy that he was in the
regular season last year. Remember at Penn State, he had
such a terrible playoff game, and he hasn't been the
same quarterback this year. I know they've had some injuries
on the offensive side of ball, on the foot side though.
(25:02):
For Miami. I didn't catch all of the Stanford game
last week, but I know the team message or Miamie
of Miami's really good defensive ends was injured in that
in the Louisville game, didn't play very much. The rest
of that game didn't play well when he was in there.
I really would be curious to see we can get
an update on his health status going into this game,
(25:23):
because if Mesador is healthy is unhealthy, and they unable
to play or limited, that's a big loss for Miami's
For Miami's offense, I do wonder though last week there
was so many calls for Miami to kind of open
up the offense, open up the running game some maybe
you wonder a little bit of Shannon Dolphins Shannon dlphin
and the Miami's offense might have been saving a little bit.
(25:45):
Didn't want to put too much on tap. They felt
pretty good about their ability to blow out Stanford, So
I would look for a much better effort for Miami's
offense on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Uh, it better be It's Doug Otlib Show here on
Fox Sports.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Radia.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Let's let's get to the sec that's that's the places
where you know things are really happening. This weekend, Oklahoma,
fresh off of disappointing showing UH. They're six and two
on the year, They're taking on Tennessee. Of course, Josh
Hipel's team last year went in and smacked his alma mater.
Hypel's team has their own issues right as they lost.
(26:20):
They lost Alabama and then lost at home to Georgia
in overtime, but put fifty six up on Kentucky last
week Vegas, Vegas has uh. Tennessee is a three point favorite.
Total fifty five and a half. What is the Bear have?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
The Bear has Oklahoma plus plus the three year, the
Tennessee offense has been great, but they gave up thirty
four points to Kentucky. Left who they give up a
bunch of The defense has been a problem all year,
and I know John McTier has not looked great in
recent weeks, but I think they have gotten a little
bit better in the grind game with playlock able to
(26:55):
do more. They had their chances to pull the russard
the upside the beat all on this last week at
home and couldn't fight and make the plays that they
needed to hear. But I think that ball secondary has
been so bad. I think Matier has an opportunity to
make some plays in the passing game on Saturday. I
think their devents will do a better job against Aguara
(27:19):
and that Tennessee offense. I like ou here. I like
the Sooners getting the three end to potentially when that
came out. Right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Okay, let's go to the other ranked versus ranked SEC game.
Vanderbilt's ranked ninth Texas is ranked twenty. Take a snapshot,
because never in the history of this sport has that
been the case. Look, Texas overtime past two weeks, but
they did win those games, right. It was an incredible
comeback and win against Mississippi State. Now they're back home
(27:48):
against Vandy. Vani's a team who, of course, their only
loss of the year was on the road out Alabama
beat South Carolina on the road, beat Virginia Tech on
the road, just beat Missouri at home in a close game.
One thing, bud Texas only a three point favorite at home,
that's usually the home spread, and the totals forty five
and a half.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
This game has been interesting because I think we saw
the early money in the week when the bet when
the line, when the limits were a little bit smaller,
we saw some Vandy money come in, kind of like
the old ropidope that they that the betters came in
bed Dandy to get the stumber down to one one
and a half. And now once later in the week
(28:28):
has come and the limits have gone up, we've seen
this number hit three. So it tells me that the
more respected money here is on Texas. I expect our
expanding to play. I think having a couple of days
off a practice probably wasn't a bad thing, and and
luck Missouri was probably the right side of that game.
Last week, I couldn't get the win, unfortunate horrific injury
(28:52):
to Probula and they and Missouri couldn't escape Naturville with
the win. But Dandy has the look of that trendy
underdog this coming week. I think Texas, now playing their
first SDC home game of the year, still with an
outside chance. If they can beat Bandy, if they can
beat A and M, they can beat Georgia, still can
(29:13):
make the college football playoffs. I think people were all
just assuming that Texas isn't gonna run the table. But
it's still a team with a bunch of talent. If
they can get it right, they've got the opportunities to
kind of fix some of the wrongs and the struggles
that they had early in the year. I do think
that the Longhorns will win this game, and I'll lay
the three.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Rader Chris Fleak
is our guest. That's the bear from the bear Bets podcast.
You gotta download that thing, Okay, Cincinnati takes on Utah.
Utah ten point favorite against the Bearcats, who haven't lost
since August, is the number off.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Yeah, and that was a game that you see very
easily could have won and beaten Nebraska. Utah's a team
that I really have not been able to figure out
the this year. Last week out of nowhere, just completely
with the backup quarterback, go up and down the field,
and see you couldn't hold on to the lead against
(30:09):
EYU the week before. My reads on Utah have not
been great, But I think even if if damp here
it doesn't play, and I have no reason to believe
that he won't play this week, I think that that
I think that offense is going to give Cincinnati some problems.
It feels like with the way Utah and verts on
third down and keeps drives alive, they're going to be
(30:31):
able to keep rinning sourceee in that and at Cincinnati offense.
Off the field, it looks hot. The spread does look
higher than you would expect it to be. And when
a number is that high, and it kind of opens
my eyes a little bit in in expectation that it
was going to be lower. I usually kind of take
note and air on the side of Okay, the odds
(30:51):
makers see if this I might want to think twice
in the taking the underdog here a lot. It seems
like Cincinnati is a dog that a lot of people
like this week. But it would be Utah or pass.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
For me Utah or pass good good idea there, Doug
Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. I want to
ask about Maryland. Okay, terps have lost three in a row, right, Washington, Nebraska, La,
but all close. Now they get Indiana, and Indiana has
just been housing folks, right, housing folks after the close
(31:24):
one against Iowa and Oregon. Then once they've gotten below
their level twenty two and a half, twenty two and
a half is what Maryland's a home dog. Do you
still like the Hoosiers?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Yeah, I can't leave that. I was wrong last week.
I thought that that might have been a game where
UCLA could kind of keep close and we were not
necessarily looking to see early seasons. Kurt Signetti, you try
and hang fifty on the board against teams, and Nick
clearly Ucla was no resistance for try you last week.
(31:56):
I don't know, it feels I got a rich number
here for me. You mentioned some of the games that
Maryland has been in this year, that they've played some
teams close. Don't think that the terms can win, but
a four touchdown road win or a twenty four point
road wins, that's asking a whole lot against a team
that does have some talent as the quarterback position and
(32:17):
have played some teams close this year. I would look
towards taking the points here with I know with Maryland
rather knowing that they got a game at Penn State
next week, which I'm not necessarily sure that's going to
be the easiest game of the world for the Hoosiers either.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
All right, last one se going to Nebraska, Matt Rule
signed a contract extension or if they're reported on Thursday
agreed to a contract extension. They're a home six and
a half point underdog to USC. Who do you like?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
It's amazing to think that Nebraska has lost what twenty
seven straight games against ryank teams. It almost seems unfathomable
that it happens, but they have it being on a
ranked teams ince Oregon in twenty sixteen, which is pretty incredible.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Rule has not.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Beaten a ranked team as a power for head coach.
So until that happens, I've got a hard time thinking
that they're gonna pull the the upset here. Maybe they
cover the number, because again on the flip, you've got
USC where if you look at the games under Lincoln
Riley that USC has been favored outside of the state
(33:21):
of California on the road, They're on to twelve against
the number and have lost seven of them at right,
including that game in Illinois earlier in the year. The
game's gonna be at night, you gonna be a little
bit cooler. But I don't know. We've seen this number
come down now to six in a lot of spots.
Maybe it comes down a little bit further because it
seems like a lot of people are on Nebraska at
(33:43):
home at night with a little bit of a cool attempt.
But we've seen sc struggle. I don't know. I might
be looking towards playing playing sc here. I think this
offense is still pretty good, and I'm not necessarily sold
that Royola and that Husker offense, which has struggled mightily
this year, is going to be able to go up
and down the field or on USC.

with Dan Byer.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
The press.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
All right, all you basketball fans, fans of the women's game,
the rosters for the second season of unrival the other
league that's not the WNBA's come out. Two notable names
missing from the list. No Sabrina Yonescu. She is not
gonna return as of right now. Neither will Angel Reese.
(36:13):
Of course, Caitlyn Clark didn't play in the league last year,
not playing this year. But no Angel Reese playing in
the Unrivaled League in twenty twenty six, she.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Tried to build up that that league brick by brick brick.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Okay, all right. In other basketball, yeah, Charles Barkley have
this to say about well coaching.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
What he's doing is any reason is doing is incredible.
I'm not saying fordy Ford is incredible. But if I'm
averaging twelve thirteen, if I'm gonna get all those shots
that Luca and Lebron are not taken, my average gotta
go up. I mean, that's just common sense, you know.
You know, Ernie, it's interesting when you talk about coaching.
(36:56):
Coaches in my day, when the coach criticized you was
called of coaching. When people criticize per day, it's called Hayten,
and that's why the bomb be driving me crazy. Like dude,
that's what coaches. Their job is to criticize. It ain't criticism,
it's coaching.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
It's fine line. It's fine line. It's fine line, Chuck,
They're fine on ESPN. It's the same show. It's fine show.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
That's it. We got four words from the coach. It's
a line. That's that's all you got for us.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
No, but what I'm saying, what I'm saying is he's
not actually talking about coaching. It's hating when you're an
analyst and and you're giving analysis. I don't I don't
think coaches get criticized for coaching. I really don't. You've
never been able to really do it that much in
the media. I think he's talking actually more about analyzing whereas.
(37:54):
But I also think if you look back on TV,
we didn't use analyze guys. They were just cheerleaders for
people if you go back to the nineties.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Speaking of coaches, Nebraska has given Matt Rule a to
year extension, now runs through the twenty thirty two season.
ESPN says his buyout if you were to leave after
this season would be fifteen million. Dollars.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Doesn't seem like that take a buyout, does it? But
again symbolic, it appears you take them off the list
of going to Penn State. So what does Penn State
turn next? Now it becomes interesting.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
And that's the press Bay get out there and pressed.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
That was the press by Are you gonna lean tonight?
Speaker 2 (38:28):
I'm leaning towards Miami. I just I don't think the
Ravens are that good.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I don't think they're that good either. I do think
Lamar puts on a show in his hometown that could be.

the blue jays outstanding performance the Dodgers disappointing performance performance
with the last night as the Blue Jay's taken, commanding

I just learned, and I learned this via TikTok. It's Toronto.
You don't say the second T.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Toronto. That's correct, Toronto.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I don't say the second tea.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Went camping with someone from Toronto, Yeah, and she said,
it's not Toronto, it's Toronto, Toronto.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
So I learned something that day.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, So they they call all of the surrounding communities
the GTA, the Greater Toronto area. So we only say,
I guess it's greater Toronto. Why do we say one
tea and at the other T. I need somebody from
Canada to help us out with that one. But it's Toronto, Torontronto, right.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I still think you're saying the second tea a little,
don't you.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Guys, I know, I am here.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I can't It's it's a It's like my Rizzuto if
I was Billy Madison. I can't stop myself. And I've
been in my mind. I've been saying, don't say the
second D Toronto.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's like someone said that it's not Tijuana, it's Tijuana.
That's what That's what someone told me. Don't say Tijuana,
say Tijuana.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Do you have any do you have to sound like
Speedy Gonzalez?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Do you have to do your speedy Toronto. MM, I
don't know Tijuana.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I don't know, I I do. I have the one
fun fact about Tijuana. You know what it is, let's
hear it. It's the place where the caesar salad was invented.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, and I've heard, yeah, I've heard it was invented
in Mexico, which is sort of an interesting fact.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
In Tijuana, Mexico. I think it was a guy named Caesar.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I love Caesar, so I love Caesar. I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I think Caesar dressing is super underrated as like one
of the real Caesar dressing though, no, no, no, like like
it has chunks of parmesan in it and peppercorn, Oh delicious.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Do you know what else it has in it?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Anchovies?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
That's okay?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Gives it the saltiness it does, beay, it does maybe
a little pro in there, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Uh, possibly possibly some protein. Plus everybody throws chicken or salmon.
And there's enough about caesar salad and about Toronto. Let's
do something we do every Thursday where we don't call
it a throwback.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Don't call it a throwback Thursday.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
This is the time of the show on the Doug
Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio, where where we display
our unbelievable historic knowledge. And I turned it over to
Jason Stewart.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Thank you, Doug.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I'll take it from here.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I want the listeners to all go back to one uh,
one time, one year, thirty thirty three years ago, thirty
three years ago, nineteen ninety two. What were you doing
in the fall of nineteen ninety two?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Ooh, I was a two three three. I was a
sophomore in high school.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
There you go. I was a sophomore in college. I
was a sophomore in college. So that tells the listeners
the tears of age that we are.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Dan, where were you sophomore in high school?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Okay, you guys are the same age your birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, I'm older.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He's a year older though.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Okay, but nineteen ninety two, what a year in sports?
Holy crap. Almost to this day, thirty three years ago,
the Toronto Blue Jays won their first World Series time team,
the Toronto Blue Jays first ever World Series title. That
(05:39):
is a story, but maybe the sub story is the
Atlanta Braves, because in the last couple of days I
have I have heard my team, the Dodgers, referred to
as the nineties Braves, and that's a pejorative, that's not
a compliment. That means that they had the best team
in baseball for many, many years and cast it in once.
(06:00):
So the Braves in their second World Series trip in
two years, they just got done getting beat by the
Twins in ninety one, remember, and then they played the
Jayson ninety two and lost in six games. What a
thriller Game six was, though, I'll tell you what. Devon
White had a big night, Roberto even Dave Winfield, all
(06:21):
of these Hall of famers. Mike Timlin closed out the
game that Tom Hanky blue pause, David kne started the game.
Steve Avery for the Braves. And for those who forget
the names on the Braves, remember Otis Nixon, Yeah, like
twenty nine, going on seventy eight. Yes, Deon Sander.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Otis Otis, by the way, is the only guy that
attacks the old black don't crack. Yeah that he didn't crack,
but it was definitely withered.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Deon Sanders is the head coach at Colorado. A lot
of people would not know that thirty three years ago.
Today he was losing a world see with the Braves.
Think about that one, Sid Breem, Mark lemke oh, Terry Pendleton,
just to name a few. Anyways, nineteen ninety two, what
a fall in sports, Dan, What what strikes your fancy
(07:16):
most about nineteen ninety two?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So this is this is gonna shock you. Nineteen ninety
two probably the best year of my childhood. Just so
much fun. I went to a junior high, so the
freshmen were the king of the school. So the first
half of ninety two I was a freshman. A lot
of fun, but sports wise, absolute heartbreak in the NFL.
(07:39):
The Seahawks won two games that year, and Cortes Kennedy
was the NFL's defensive Player of the Year for a
Seahawks team that ended up winning two games. I remember
they beat the Broncos on Monday Night Football. It was
their second win of the season. Pretty crazy, but they
stunk sports wise that NFL season. By the way, the
(08:01):
emergence of the Dallas Cowboys is the power that they
turned in to be under Jimmy Johnson. I also will say,
sports wise, my worst loss is a sports fan, no
doubt about it. Nineteen ninety two Regional final Southeast Regional Lexington, Kentucky.
(08:22):
A day after Christian Lightner and Duke upset Kentucky or
beat Kentucky. On that last second shot by Lightner, Ohio
State had a chance to punch their ticket to the
Final Four. They had beaten Michigan twice in the regular season.
That Michigan team, of course, known as the Fab Five,
with their five freshmen, Ohio State had a chance to
win it. At the end of regulation, Jimmy Jackson lost
(08:45):
control of the ball. It somehow ended up in the
hands of Chris Gent along the baseline and gent panicked shot.
The ball didn't have a chance to go in and
Michigan won in overtime. They ended up going to the
Final four. Were thank goodness. They lost to Duke in
the National Championship game. I loved, but yes, my worst
(09:05):
loss as a sports fan. I loved that Ohio State
basketball team.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
One of the greatest sporting moments of my childhood was
in nineteen ninety two at the Rose Bowl. It was
not the Rose Bowl, You're like, what, No, it was
not the Rose Bowl. It was USC taken on UCLA.
USC was ranked fifteenth in the country. UCLA was what
the kids say mid right mid. They were five and
(09:32):
five at the time. I don't know if you guys
remember the story, but they started a quarterback named John Barnes.
John Barnes was a walk on at San Diego State AH,
and he ended up starting for the Bruins against starting
for the Bruins all season long and started against USC.
(09:54):
He had a wide receiver that you may have heard of,
even though he was kind of a bust in the NFL.
It was JJ Stokes. And again I don't know the
exact stats, but I want to say John Barnes trew
for like four hundred yards and JJ Stokes had like
three hundred yards receiving. But like a former walk on,
lighting up USC at the Rose Bowl was awesome. Thirty
(10:17):
eight thirty seven, Hey thirty. USC's quarterback was Rob Johnson,
and Rob Johnson, by the way, led his team on
what should have been a game winning drive, a sixty
nine yard drive, only to have John Barnes hit JJ
Stokes in a ninety yard touchdown reception. JJ Stokes had
six receptions for two hundred and sixty three yards two
(10:40):
hundred sixty three yards on six catches. I've never seen
anything like it. Since it was unbelievable anyway, Again, that's
just personal, personal moment.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
How many notable players on that USC team? John oh A,
ton Tony BESSELLI, Willie McGuinness, Jason Horn. Wow, I want
to say j J. Stokes. Guys, if you would say
his claim to fame he like meets people in bars
and stuff, would it be I'm the guy who uh
Romanowski is spit in the face of in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No, he was the guy who was supposed to be
uh Jerry Rice's replacement and that did not work.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You want to know what else happened in ninety two
in college football? Yes, sir, first ever conference championship game, Yes,
sc Alabama beat Matthews in Florida. Yes, in Birmingham. I
believe it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Was How much have we evolved in that they played
that game in Birmingham?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I think I think that was the I think that
was the kill.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It is, yes, side of the That's where because that's
where the conference was located, the conference office is located.
That's where they played the Iron Bowl. Auburn played Alabama
there every year and that was the heartbeat of the conference.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Good poll and Alabama won the national title. George Teague,
Gene Stallins. Yes, yes it was Jean Stalins.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I kind of feel the need to bring up the
Dream team in Barcelona that summer. Just such a monumental
sports occurrence, but so much has been written about it,
documentaries and I'm almost dream teamed out and it's thirty
three years later. But in the time living through that,
that was pretty special for the kids out there listening
(12:24):
right now. There was a time when the Olympics would
not accept professional athletes into the games, so these teams
were made up of college stars and the US have
been getting their ass kick right.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
No, no, no, no, let me let me, let me, let me,
let me help you here. Okay, the US was the
only one. They couldn't have pros in it. The other
ones did because they could say they were club teams
and act like they were amateurs. So in nineteen eighty eight,
the late great John Thompson had a team. It wasn't
very good, they couldn't shoot, and they got beat by
(12:58):
the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union had Lithuanian players
obviously had Russian players as well, so it was the
first time that we matched our pros with their pros
and it was. It was a celebration of the sports,
celebration of American basketball. But it was an absolute blood letting,
(13:19):
blood letting. Can anybody remember anything else about the Summer Olympics,
That's my question.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
It was the first Olympics after the end of the
Cold War, first Olympics after the end of the Cold War.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, so again, it coincided with the fact that Russia
was broken up, right, And I don't remember if Yugoslavia
was broken up. I think Slovenia was in at that time,
so I think Yugoslavia broke up as well.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Quick golf note, one of the most popular players that
we've ever seen on tour ended up claiming his first
and only major that year. The ball stayed up on
the bank at the twelfth hole for Fred Couples. He
went on to win the Masters in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Still has great hair. Fred Kevile still has great hair.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
My favorite part about that exchange was that Dan told
Doug what he thinks of Balkan geopolitics by just going
right into golf. He wanted nothing to do with the
Yugoslavia Serbia.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I'll give you the real I'll give you the real backstory.
I had to I had to quickly get in before.
We've all seen that video of Michael Jordan bombing his
head with his headphones. In that video, he was listening
to this at that time. No, I know you're right.
I saw that exact video, Dan, and I'll tell you what.
He had a walkman on and he was strutting to
(14:39):
it was People thought it was like a kind of
a dance tune, but no, it was actually this song. Wow,
this is under the Bridge.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Take Me all the Way. It wasn't the biggest song
of the year, though it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Was number one on the charts for seven weeks. The
punk band it finished eighth. It was number one, but
I guess it finished eighth, and it's what it's average.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
The Red Hot Choice Numbers was a ska punk underground
band from Los Angeles, and they hit it big. I
have often said that this is the point in time
under the Bridge. That was the point in time when
we had to put up with another thirty plus years
of garbage from Red Hot Chili Pepper Come on now,
(15:29):
maybe my least favorite band. They are not very talented
at all. Their catalog of songs is one earworm after
another that you can't stand under there.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Means it gets stuck in your head under the bridge.
This is off Blood Sugar, Sex Magic, which is a
fantastic album front to back when I grew up with
so I will defend this album to the day.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
There's a lot of iconic songs. In nineteen ninety two,
I believe the number one song for the year was
Baby Got Back, Wasn't it Uh? And then I Think They.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Got Back finished number two on the Billboard year end
Hot one hundred.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Number one was Smells Like Teen Spirit, Wasn't it?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
That was ninety.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Ninety No, I thought it was ninety three. End of
the Road Boys to Men was the one that ended
up being.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well. End of the Road was the end of every mixtape. Okay, kids,
what's the mixtape? A mixtape? You used to have these
things called cassette tapes? What's the cassette tape? Well, I
can it's like a VHS tape but smaller, and they
used to have dual dual cassette where could dub it?
So if a girl broke up with you, or if
(16:44):
you broke up with a guy or broke up with
a girl, you'd make a mixtape. Now mixtape you can
make when you were together. But the breakup mixtape always
had sad songs on it, and it usually ended with
end of the Road, which was Apropos and I nic
and oh yeah, by the way, boys to men, proving
that if you want to get ladies, no matter how
(17:05):
ugly you are, sing because those dudes are not good looking,
and yet they were on every wall of every teenager
in America.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Back to our when grunge hit America nineteen ninety one,
nineteen ninety one. But this song, a little bit more upbeat,
finished at number thirteen. Hey, all I can do is
just play it for you. I'm oh yeah, ah yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
You want to talk about earworm? We just ruined everybody's
day the song. Every personalist of the show has just
had their day ruined because the rest of the day,
this is what's going on in their head.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Can I tell you something about I actually learned about
this right said, Fred was a duo. They are brothers.
They were bouncers in like the UK and somehow recorded
this song and just blew up. But they were originally
brothers and they were bouncers at a club, which is
very interesting.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
People now five or six years ago. I got a
notification on Twitter that said, right, said, Fred is following you.
So I followed them back.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
All right, really, so what are they?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What are they doing now?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I think they're singing? Uh? They have two songs. They
have I'm Too Sexy and not I'm Too Sexy.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, So can I do the movies thing? Because I
gotta tell you want to talk about iconic movies? A
few good men. I want the truth. You can't hurdle
the truth, right, great movie reservoir dogs. We can discuss
Tarantino and where that fits in the Tarantino hierarchy. My
cousin Vinnie. My biological clock is ticking over here, right.
(18:49):
The two Uts, I mean, Unforgiven, which I think won
the Academy Award Best Picture, and I think one of
the greatest sports movies all the time, A League of
their Own, League of their Own was amazing, amazing, Last
of the Mohicans, Aladdin, Scent of a Woman, Oh Rah,
(19:11):
Wayne's World, Batman Returns. Okay, that was that one. A
river runs through it. A river runs through it, pretty
basic instinct. The Mighty Ducks the cutting edge underrated sports film.
To pick you have to watch it, do it? Under Siege,
(19:32):
back when Stephen Sagal was a badass Leath the Weapon three,
which I think that's when Joe Peshi first joined the
Leath the Weapon cast the crying game, don't watch the
End's kids, don't watch the end? And Beethoven for the kids,
Oh Aladdin as well.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
All those movies are awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Unbelievable. You're in movies.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Unbelievable, Yeah, Leo gets was that Joe Peschi's character in
the third one? Also, wasn't Renee Russo in that one?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I guess, So I'll give you another one that's kind
of underrated. George Strait was in a movie called Pure Country,
not Bad, not Bad.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
We all remember this iconic line from Wayne's World.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
You begin to spew spew into this.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I mean I said that so many times as a child.
You know that the movie's my gospel. It really is.
I live my life according to Wayne Campbell.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
And that is don't call it a throwback Thursday, don't call.
Speaker 6 (20:30):

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Stuck ottleb Show, Fox Sports Radio. I'm gonna tell a
quick story about this song. Okay, and I know if
you listen to podcast, you can't hear nothing but a
G Thing. So nineteen ninety two I actually became nineteen
ninety three. I think when this came out. I played
a tests in high school. My now assistant coach, Andy
(21:06):
Ground was my head coach. It was his first year
as head coach, and we played against Inglewood High School
in the second round of the CIF playoffs. Paul Pierce
was a sophomore for Inglewood High School, but at the
time he was kind of an unknown. He was heavy,
he came off the bench and he ended up dunking
on us and was crazy. But the story to that
song was, we had it on our mixtape warm up tape.
(21:28):
We're like, oh, nothing but a G thing, it's awesome. Well,
we didn't realize was we were in Orange County, which
is only about forty five minutes from Inglewood, but that
song had been out in Inglewood for months, right, and yeah,
we liked it. But they loved it so much so
that they put on basically a dunk exhibition during warm
(21:49):
ups to that song. And then we got dunked on
during the game. Nineteen ninety two. Hell of a year.
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show. You're listen to Fox Sports Radio,
and we are joined by the Bear himself. That's Chris Felika.
Of course you got the bare Bets podcast. You see
him on Big newon Kickoff on the set as well. Again,
I know we want to get to the SEC games,
(22:10):
but Penn State Ohio State was supposed to be the
game in the Big Ten, the game, and now it's
a game. Ohio State is a twenty and a half
point favorite. Obviously Drew Aller is out for the year,
and then of course James Franklin's been fired. Do you
how do you figure out if you want to put
some money on this game?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Chris, It's amazing because, as you said, you look back
at the start of the year and the look aheadline
in the off season was Ohio State minus three and
a half. So to see it seventeen to eighteen point
move and the number is pretty surreal. It feels to
me like this could be an opportunity where Penn State
(22:49):
has that backdoor open Ohio State. Maybe maybe he's up
twenty four points in the late game and Penn State
gets a late score. Feels to me like that would
be the way to play this game. I have a
hard time laying twenty and a half, whatever it is,
just because I do think that Penn State defense is
(23:10):
still not pretty good. And anytime you're looking to play
a team total under or a game under, you always
have to worry about an hot offensive touchdown, like we
saw with Penn State at Iowa a couple of weeks ago.
So that makes me a little skeptical about the under.
But if you're in one of those pick and pools
and you're looking at this game, I would lean towards
(23:30):
taking the twenty and a half. With Penn State here.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I would too. I would too. I mean again, I
think there's a lot of pride in that program, and
I think they have good players in that program. But again,
you just don't know who's going to play and who's
not right, you know, with guys kind of shutting it
down if you will. All right, let's let's get to
some of the bigger ones. I want to also ask
you about your canes for people who don't know Felick's
University of Miami alum A couple of weeks ago, they
(23:56):
lose to Louisville. They bounce back smashing Stanford. Now they
take on SMU, who last year snuck in the playoff.
This year obviously haven't been the same, but it still
is a road game. It is in Highland Park up
in Dallas, and SMU is a home dog at twelve
and a half. How do you feel about your canes
going into Dallas?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
And it's also the first time this year in Miami
has left the state of Florida, so that the traveler
and then we did go to Florida State and took
there Florida State pretty handily. But this is a little different, different,
different piece. Carrie. What worries me the most from a
Miami standpoint is you know that RHT Lashley SMU, head coach,
former Miami offensive coordinator, has had this game circled for
(24:40):
quite some time. I do worry a little bit about that.
But at the same time, I do wonder if Kevin
Jennings is the same guy that he was in the
regular season last year. Remember at Penn State, he had
such a terrible playoff game, and he hasn't been the
same quarterback this year. I know they've had some injuries
on the offensive side of ball, on the foot side though.
(25:02):
For Miami. I didn't catch all of the Stanford game
last week, but I know the team message or Miamie
of Miami's really good defensive ends was injured in that
in the Louisville game, didn't play very much. The rest
of that game didn't play well when he was in there.
I really would be curious to see we can get
an update on his health status going into this game,
(25:23):
because if Mesador is healthy is unhealthy, and they unable
to play or limited, that's a big loss for Miami's
For Miami's offense, I do wonder though last week there
was so many calls for Miami to kind of open
up the offense, open up the running game some maybe
you wonder a little bit of Shannon Dolphins Shannon dlphin
and the Miami's offense might have been saving a little bit.
(25:45):
Didn't want to put too much on tap. They felt
pretty good about their ability to blow out Stanford, So
I would look for a much better effort for Miami's
offense on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Uh, it better be It's Doug Otlib Show here on
Fox Sports.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Radia.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Let's let's get to the sec that's that's the places
where you know things are really happening. This weekend, Oklahoma,
fresh off of disappointing showing UH. They're six and two
on the year, They're taking on Tennessee. Of course, Josh
Hipel's team last year went in and smacked his alma mater.
Hypel's team has their own issues right as they lost.
(26:20):
They lost Alabama and then lost at home to Georgia
in overtime, but put fifty six up on Kentucky last
week Vegas, Vegas has uh. Tennessee is a three point favorite.
Total fifty five and a half. What is the Bear have?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
The Bear has Oklahoma plus plus the three year, the
Tennessee offense has been great, but they gave up thirty
four points to Kentucky. Left who they give up a
bunch of The defense has been a problem all year,
and I know John McTier has not looked great in
recent weeks, but I think they have gotten a little
bit better in the grind game with playlock able to
(26:55):
do more. They had their chances to pull the russard
the upside the beat all on this last week at
home and couldn't fight and make the plays that they
needed to hear. But I think that ball secondary has
been so bad. I think Matier has an opportunity to
make some plays in the passing game on Saturday. I
think their devents will do a better job against Aguara
(27:19):
and that Tennessee offense. I like ou here. I like
the Sooners getting the three end to potentially when that
came out. Right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Okay, let's go to the other ranked versus ranked SEC game.
Vanderbilt's ranked ninth Texas is ranked twenty. Take a snapshot,
because never in the history of this sport has that
been the case. Look, Texas overtime past two weeks, but
they did win those games, right. It was an incredible
comeback and win against Mississippi State. Now they're back home
(27:48):
against Vandy. Vani's a team who, of course, their only
loss of the year was on the road out Alabama
beat South Carolina on the road, beat Virginia Tech on
the road, just beat Missouri at home in a close game.
One thing, bud Texas only a three point favorite at home,
that's usually the home spread, and the totals forty five
and a half.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
This game has been interesting because I think we saw
the early money in the week when the bet when
the line, when the limits were a little bit smaller,
we saw some Vandy money come in, kind of like
the old ropidope that they that the betters came in
bed Dandy to get the stumber down to one one
and a half. And now once later in the week
(28:28):
has come and the limits have gone up, we've seen
this number hit three. So it tells me that the
more respected money here is on Texas. I expect our
expanding to play. I think having a couple of days
off a practice probably wasn't a bad thing, and and
luck Missouri was probably the right side of that game.
Last week, I couldn't get the win, unfortunate horrific injury
(28:52):
to Probula and they and Missouri couldn't escape Naturville with
the win. But Dandy has the look of that trendy
underdog this coming week. I think Texas, now playing their
first SDC home game of the year, still with an
outside chance. If they can beat Bandy, if they can
beat A and M, they can beat Georgia, still can
(29:13):
make the college football playoffs. I think people were all
just assuming that Texas isn't gonna run the table. But
it's still a team with a bunch of talent. If
they can get it right, they've got the opportunities to
kind of fix some of the wrongs and the struggles
that they had early in the year. I do think
that the Longhorns will win this game, and I'll lay
the three.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Rader Chris Fleak
is our guest. That's the bear from the bear Bets podcast.
You gotta download that thing, Okay, Cincinnati takes on Utah.
Utah ten point favorite against the Bearcats, who haven't lost
since August, is the number off.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Yeah, and that was a game that you see very
easily could have won and beaten Nebraska. Utah's a team
that I really have not been able to figure out
the this year. Last week out of nowhere, just completely
with the backup quarterback, go up and down the field,
and see you couldn't hold on to the lead against
(30:09):
EYU the week before. My reads on Utah have not
been great, But I think even if if damp here
it doesn't play, and I have no reason to believe
that he won't play this week, I think that that
I think that offense is going to give Cincinnati some problems.
It feels like with the way Utah and verts on
third down and keeps drives alive, they're going to be
(30:31):
able to keep rinning sourceee in that and at Cincinnati offense.
Off the field, it looks hot. The spread does look
higher than you would expect it to be. And when
a number is that high, and it kind of opens
my eyes a little bit in in expectation that it
was going to be lower. I usually kind of take
note and air on the side of Okay, the odds
(30:51):
makers see if this I might want to think twice
in the taking the underdog here a lot. It seems
like Cincinnati is a dog that a lot of people
like this week. But it would be Utah or pass.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
For me Utah or pass good good idea there, Doug
Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. I want to
ask about Maryland. Okay, terps have lost three in a row, right, Washington, Nebraska, La,
but all close. Now they get Indiana, and Indiana has
just been housing folks, right, housing folks after the close
(31:24):
one against Iowa and Oregon. Then once they've gotten below
their level twenty two and a half, twenty two and
a half is what Maryland's a home dog. Do you
still like the Hoosiers?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Yeah, I can't leave that. I was wrong last week.
I thought that that might have been a game where
UCLA could kind of keep close and we were not
necessarily looking to see early seasons. Kurt Signetti, you try
and hang fifty on the board against teams, and Nick
clearly Ucla was no resistance for try you last week.
(31:56):
I don't know, it feels I got a rich number
here for me. You mentioned some of the games that
Maryland has been in this year, that they've played some
teams close. Don't think that the terms can win, but
a four touchdown road win or a twenty four point
road wins, that's asking a whole lot against a team
that does have some talent as the quarterback position and
(32:17):
have played some teams close this year. I would look
towards taking the points here with I know with Maryland
rather knowing that they got a game at Penn State
next week, which I'm not necessarily sure that's going to
be the easiest game of the world for the Hoosiers either.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
All right, last one se going to Nebraska, Matt Rule
signed a contract extension or if they're reported on Thursday
agreed to a contract extension. They're a home six and
a half point underdog to USC. Who do you like?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
It's amazing to think that Nebraska has lost what twenty
seven straight games against ryank teams. It almost seems unfathomable
that it happens, but they have it being on a
ranked teams ince Oregon in twenty sixteen, which is pretty incredible.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Rule has not.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Beaten a ranked team as a power for head coach.
So until that happens, I've got a hard time thinking
that they're gonna pull the the upset here. Maybe they
cover the number, because again on the flip, you've got
USC where if you look at the games under Lincoln
Riley that USC has been favored outside of the state
(33:21):
of California on the road, They're on to twelve against
the number and have lost seven of them at right,
including that game in Illinois earlier in the year. The
game's gonna be at night, you gonna be a little
bit cooler. But I don't know. We've seen this number
come down now to six in a lot of spots.
Maybe it comes down a little bit further because it
seems like a lot of people are on Nebraska at
(33:43):
home at night with a little bit of a cool attempt.
But we've seen sc struggle. I don't know. I might
be looking towards playing playing sc here. I think this
offense is still pretty good, and I'm not necessarily sold
that Royola and that Husker offense, which has struggled mightily
this year, is going to be able to go up
and down the field or on USC.

with Dan Byer.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
The press.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
All right, all you basketball fans, fans of the women's game,
the rosters for the second season of unrival the other
league that's not the WNBA's come out. Two notable names
missing from the list. No Sabrina Yonescu. She is not
gonna return as of right now. Neither will Angel Reese.
(36:13):
Of course, Caitlyn Clark didn't play in the league last year,
not playing this year. But no Angel Reese playing in
the Unrivaled League in twenty twenty six, she.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Tried to build up that that league brick by brick brick.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Okay, all right. In other basketball, yeah, Charles Barkley have
this to say about well coaching.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
What he's doing is any reason is doing is incredible.
I'm not saying fordy Ford is incredible. But if I'm
averaging twelve thirteen, if I'm gonna get all those shots
that Luca and Lebron are not taken, my average gotta
go up. I mean, that's just common sense, you know.
You know, Ernie, it's interesting when you talk about coaching.
(36:56):
Coaches in my day, when the coach criticized you was
called of coaching. When people criticize per day, it's called Hayten,
and that's why the bomb be driving me crazy. Like dude,
that's what coaches. Their job is to criticize. It ain't criticism,
it's coaching.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
It's fine line. It's fine line. It's fine line, Chuck,
They're fine on ESPN. It's the same show. It's fine show.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
That's it. We got four words from the coach. It's
a line. That's that's all you got for us.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
No, but what I'm saying, what I'm saying is he's
not actually talking about coaching. It's hating when you're an
analyst and and you're giving analysis. I don't I don't
think coaches get criticized for coaching. I really don't. You've
never been able to really do it that much in
the media. I think he's talking actually more about analyzing whereas.
(37:54):
But I also think if you look back on TV,
we didn't use analyze guys. They were just cheerleaders for
people if you go back to the nineties.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Speaking of coaches, Nebraska has given Matt Rule a to
year extension, now runs through the twenty thirty two season.
ESPN says his buyout if you were to leave after
this season would be fifteen million. Dollars.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Doesn't seem like that take a buyout, does it? But
again symbolic, it appears you take them off the list
of going to Penn State. So what does Penn State
turn next? Now it becomes interesting.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
And that's the press Bay get out there and pressed.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
That was the press by Are you gonna lean tonight?
Speaker 2 (38:28):
I'm leaning towards Miami. I just I don't think the
Ravens are that good.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I don't think they're that good either. I do think
Lamar puts on a show in his hometown that could be.
