Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We did it, We did it. None of us could
have made it into Notre Dame, but they allowed us
on campus here in the shadows of the stadium and
of course the Golden Dome. Glad to be here. Our
starting lineup, of course, is Fritzie wearing the Brian Kelly collection.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
There, Brian Kelly collection. Thankfully I was big like Brian kellyam.
We've got the excel going. Let's do it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, Brian Kelly sent all of his Notre Dame gear
to me, and none of it fit me, but all
of it seemed to fit time.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Sometimes it works out nice and you're in hell? How
many excel? I get all the grease? All right?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So when you see somebody fire, you want to know
how much do they weigh?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Are you in the two twenty five two third? Here's
my address, let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Seatan is here, Pauli's here, Marvin's here, yours? Truly, I've
said this before on the show. I grew up a
Notre Dame fan, and in fact I convinced my mom
that I didn't have to go to church if I
could watch the Notre Dame replay on Sunday morning with
Paul Horning and Lindsey Nelson, and she bought into it,
which I thought was wonderful until my brothers and sisters
(01:07):
tried to pull the same thing, and then I ended
up going back to church. I was recruited by Notre
Dame for basketball. I was kind of recruited. I got
a letter from Digger Phelps saying that we're interested in
you know, an alumni from the area Cincinnati has noticed
you and we're interested in you. And then I quickly
got another letter that said soon after that a couple
(01:29):
of weeks that they weren't interested in me anymore. Sorry, wrong, Dan, Yeah,
I'm like, wait a minute, how did that happen? We're
just interested in me and now you're not. But who
knows what would have happened. I never would have been
here if I had gone to Notre Dame and gotten
that great education. Who knows what I would be doing
right now?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Yes, yes, Seeden, which is more significant the high of
getting the first letter or the low of getting the
second one.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well, I didn't tell anybody about second letter. No, hey,
have that Notre Dame thing. I don't know I don't know.
I think they signed rich Branning out of Huntington Beach,
California if.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
That system is right for me. So I'm just gonna
I don't like the offense they run, So all right?

they blew out the MS. All right, see pole. Question
for hour one is going to be.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Well, you're actually just talking about two quarterbacks tonight, are
both over forty, which is weird. Would you rather have
a twenty two year old quarterback or a forty plus
year old quarterback?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I thought you were going to say twenty two year
old girlfriend and I was like that.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Was or a forty plus say hey that's.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, yeah, my pad, we could run it. So what
was the question?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Yeah, I'm not sure anymore?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Astractedly, thank you?
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Yeah, So what are you a better quarterback?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Would you rather have your quarterback be sort of like
year one rookie or at the very time, hail end
but veteran, super experienced.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What I just would I rather have Joe Flacco or
cam Ward? Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
For one? See Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers. Why would take Rogers?
I don't know if I would take Flacco over cam.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Don't you wonder what Carson Palmer's thinking? He's like forty five?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Is that okay?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
I think Carson Palm's about forty five years old.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Say, he's a Look, he's right on the just on
the tail end of these two guys playing tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's kind of well. Marcus Freeman's thirty seven, Yeah, thirty nine,
so he's a couple of years younger than the guys
who were going to be starting tonight.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Yeah, publy, Yeah, Carson Palmer retired at thirty eight. He's
still playing some pretty good ball, but he is forty
five years old.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Okay, Yeah, I'd rather have the experienced guy. I think
for one season I would take Rogers over cam Ward. Yeah. Yeah.
Any other pole questions that we'll start the first hour.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
With, do we just go straight up like tear the
band aid off and say we could say which school
would you rather go to?
Speaker 6 (04:57):
What school would you rather play for?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
USC? Notre Dame? Okay, I grew up wanting to go
to Notre Dame, couldn't get in, and I have two
kids who went to USC, So I'm experienced on both
ends of that.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yes, Paul, I grew up on the South Side Chicago,
Irish Catholic, went to a Catholic high school. Going to
Notre Dame at my time growing up would have been
bigger than going to Harvard. I had friends who got
into Notre Dame and it was like it was galactic,
and I remember the response of the families. And again,
south Side Chicago, it was different. It was not a
place you could have passed on if they called.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
See, I grew up Central Side of New Jersey, Irish Catholic,
and the only thing that you could do better than
going to Notre Dame.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Was become a priest. So yeah, it was important. It
was important.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
But then I finally, years and years and years later,
I finally went to Los Angeles for the first time
and realized I'd been living my life wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The whole time.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Why the hell has I been in New Jersey this
whole time when this exists?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
When you walk on USC's campus, it's a movie set.
Truly feels like Steven Spielberg's going to be around the
corner and he's shooting something that they manufactured this campus there.
What about you? Todd.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Knowing my neurotic mom, she would want me to be
as close to New York as possible. So I think
Notre Dame would win over USA because USC is just
too far away.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
So I'm a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I would still if Notre Dame would have me, I
would still very much welcome the opportunity. I'd ask him
to put a little star David next to the cross
down the hall once in a while.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
But if they can't, they can't. You better be a
good quarterback.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But be a great quarterback, Yeah, Sage Rosenfels, that would
be you.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
So yeah, a lot closer, a lot closer than shout.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Out old testament fell.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Right old and new. Let's all get together. That's all
you could win.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
The hiamsman, I could no heisman, the lea heisman, all right,
one nothing is He's very competitive ball game.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Bloop the night is young, Today is young.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
By the way, Todd has issues when he's on the road.
When he's driving, We've talked about that. In the left
lane he doesn't move over. And I noticed that on
the flight here, Todd wouldn't let somebody get by him.
Their flight was leaving and they were trying to get
a connection, and Todd stood firm not letting the husband
(07:11):
and wife move past them in the aisle.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I wasn't I think they were doing some kind of
passive aggressive.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Little mumbling of like, you know, our flight's leaving soon,
and I wasn't buying that. I had a bad experience myself,
and instead of learning from that and being nice, I'm like,
I decided to be you know, double down and go
do it. This woman told me months ago, I have
my plane, is I have to really catch I gotta
go over to gate eight twelve of.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Them and well landing in D.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But we all have connections, Karen said to me, We
all have connections. That was her way of saying, there's
no chance of you being allowed through me or anybody here.
I know you're in CE twenty six D and it's
gonna take a half hour geft the plane. You'll probably
miss your connection. But we all have connections.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
So you're got have to.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Stand there and wait for us all to get our
bags and take a half hour to get off the plane,
go on your tram and missed your part.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Yes, full Dan, I wasn't on this flight, so this
is news breaking news to me, not shocking news.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Todd.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
You were aware that they needed to get off and
you chose to not.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
He didn't believe that. Well, here's the thing I was.
I don't like the terrible person you guys make me
after me.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I was in row twenty one and they were like
in row twenty three or twenty four. So if they
could miss or make their fight, it's not gonna because
I'm grabbing my seatpat machine from the top shelf.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
There of the thing. So it's that on me.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I just didn't want to start maneuvering getting out everybody's way,
and then the next thing you know, everyone else is
cutting and of course it's problem.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
What if it was reversed, Well, first of all.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Tis like really cute, and like I did twenty year earlier,
a bit earlyer, I'd be like, oh, had I convinced everybody.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
To get out, what if you needed a connection and
you need and you needed to get.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, you know, a very passive agression. I would have
mumble something too, like I don't I'm gonna miss my flight.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I hope people let me through and then someone will
turn to me and go we all have to connections.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Okay, yes, yes, see.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Yeah, there are people who, uh, when the plane lands,
they immediately stand up and box out top top boxes
out that space.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
And it doesn't matter if he's Row seven or Row seventy.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Newbody's getting a part of that is because I need
to stretch, and I get cramps and eggs. I'm a
needo compromised. I got the crumbs. I got a little
ssiatic nerve thing going down my leg. I need to
but you get blood clots. It's not good for your toes.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yes, Marvin Man, you know compromise.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
We were in the we were in the airport in
Hartford and in Washington, d C. And Fritz he was
talking a mile a minute, and seeing would just go
every single time, what seat are you in, just to
make sure he wasn't next to him.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
So happens like he won the lottery.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, seven nineteen and he's in twenty seventh. That's acceptable.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And you know when they say, uh, military, those in military,
if they liked to board. Todd got in front of
the military.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
We all know I've planned to fashion to pick a ball.
We all know.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So they were like, you know many you know, military
active military, and then Todd goes, well, I got planner
fasciot you so I gotta go in front of him.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Jesus wait.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I saluted the guy in service as I cut him
in the line and said, I need to.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
My heel you.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You're not allowed to salute it.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
He was playing it up with the military gear and
he was, you know, you don't have to be all
dressed up.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
We get it during the army. I thank you for
a service. This is not going to go well. No,
my feet hurt and I got it. He was right
behind me.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Was do you think I cut one person in line
because of the plant of fashions?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, the pass lane it went bad. This will go
worse that you are moving in front of the military,
active military, and you're saluting that.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
He was just right behind me.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
I have a salute.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
They give him a mile high salute. Thank you for
your service. If you don't mind, I have plant to
fashionat is.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I know you're coming back from some kind of whatever
military action you were taking, but I got to sit down.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Oh that's much more important than this shrapnel I've got
in my hip.
Speaker 10 (10:27):
Go.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I think he was just I think he was just
a medical personnel.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Where you know, he just brings people into the tent.
But it wasn't like he was a fighting. I'm in
the ground there and he's shooting things. I just need
to My feet were really hurting. I had the wrong
shoes on.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I didn't have the Tyroll shoes on, and I was
wearing whatever I was wearing, it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So I was limping my way to the Marvin.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
So at the airport, Hartford Fritzi was on the phone
with his mom, and that let us know exactly why
he is the way he is.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I have to check in with them. And my dad
passed away in ninety one. She's very lonely, she's very neurotic.
She wants me to go to the pilot when I
bought it and say.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I'm not even joking. Tell them, please tell them no turbulence, and.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
To make sure they have enough gas because if they
run out of guess and what do they do.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
There's no gas station up in the class, So if.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
You didn't go up there, they were going to ignore
the turbulence and not top off the tanks.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, my mom seems to think that they will be
safer if I let them know to please try to
avoid turbulence. That's her son isn't good with the turbulence.
Don't go into those kind of areas of air. So
that's my mom.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You please call me when you land because I'll think
something horrible happened. I don't need to hear on the
news that the plane went down.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
God forbid. So please call me as soon as you land.
Don't even wait till he gets to the carousel and
get your bags. I need to know you landed.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I heard the conversation and then I didn't think it
was real. Then I realized it was real, and then
I go, that's how you got screwed up. Like now
I know your mom.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I've been fooling everybody for years.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
You haven't jolted anybody. Sure, you haven't fooled anything.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I should be locked up, but I'm gonna I play
the game all right.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
By the way, last time that USC one at Notre Dame,
that was twenty eleven. Matt Barkley was the quarterback. We
were here in twenty seventeen, I believe yep, that's when
Notre Dame beat USC forty eight to twenty. And then
Notre Dame beat USC. Let's see forty nine to fourteen,
(12:15):
So those are the last two meetings that they played,
twenty three and then twenty seventeen.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Yeah, Paul, you know, we've talked about this ad nauseum
on the show. If there's ever a schedulings are in
college football, this game would happen every year, home and away.
Michigan would happen home and away, you go down to
Texas and Texas, A and M in all those different places.
But these are things that are ratings booms. They'd be
fantastic for college football to have every year, not occasionally.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
This is great for college football. It might not be
great for USC. USC is already saying, hey, we're in
the Big Ten, we got tough games. We don't want
to add another one. But this is good for college football.
Notre Dame in Michigan is great for college football. But
if you're in Michigan, do you want another tough game
on your schedule? And there's negotiations going on right now
as we speak that try to keep this rivalry intact,
(13:06):
and in fact, we'll talk to Notre Dame's athletic director tomorrow,
Pete Vakua, and ask him about this. I hope that
they continue it because I grew up on this rivalry
and having gone to a USC Notre Dame game at
USC and then having a couple of them here. It's
just great. And I think college football is missing out
on that that we don't care about those rivalries the
(13:28):
way we once did.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Yeah, Paul, and earlier this season Notre Dame against Miami
that was juicy. That was a great September ballgame and
has truckloads of history no matter who wins.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
But this is an elimination game for Notre Dame. Notre
Dame has to win this game if they're going to
be in the playoffs. They have to win this game
because with three losses, you're not going to get into
the playoffs. Whereas USC, USC could afford another loss, they
would have two losses. But this for Notre Dame, this
is their season. And we'll talk to Marcus Freeman. He'll
join us in the final hour of the program. All right,
(13:59):
we'll try to get punk beautiful day, sun is out,
probably crisp sixty degrees or so, maybe up for fifties. Yeah,
I'd like to tackle somebody.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, how about that's what you want?
Speaker 8 (14:12):
To go.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Can I hit you what injury?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I know, if it makes you happy to do what
you gotta.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Do now, I don't wait till Friday. In the last segment.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Medical center blocks away as long as there's something that
could check me out.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, all right, we'll take a break. Brady Quinn will
join us. Coming up next year Dan Patrick's Show.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio WAPP Paully.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Foods gohare with Tony Foods Go.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (14:41):
As everybody knows, we're of the hosts of the award
winning Polly and Tony Foods Go Show.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (14:45):
But instead of us telling you how great we are,
here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on
our show.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
What you doing up out promo?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, he wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
to totally of context.
Speaker 11 (15:01):
Oh yeah, Well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Let me put this into context. Shut up.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Folly Antony Busco Show
on I on Radio Apple podcasts Ohereva, you get your
podcasts ye.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All of our guests here in South Bend will receive
a fantastic gift bag items from j Labs, chef Iq
and Heartland Steak Company. Football tonight, Steelers five and a
half point favorites against the Bengals. You also have baseball
as well. I was looking at the odds here to
win the AFC North, and you would think the Steelers
would be your favorites. The Ravens aren't that far behind,
(15:40):
which I don't know what they're counting on because they're
defense isn't getting better. But the Steelers are minus one ninety.
The Ravens are plus one ninety to win the AFC North.
The Bengals are plus sixteen hundred, and then the Browns
are plus sixty five hundred to win the AFC North.
It's kind of surprising, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Aren't they officially already the Browns?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Wow? Too soon? Too soon, that's mean spirited. All right,
we'll get phone calls coming up. We got a busy
schedule here. Hannah Hidalgo, the Notre Dame junior guard, should
be the face of women's college basketball. Carson Palmer and
Marcus Freeman stopping by our good buddy Brady Quinn, Fox
college football analyst Big Noon Kickoff will be in ann
(16:24):
Arbor for Washington in Michigan. He's also one of the
hosts on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, and
of course former Notre Dame quarterback Brady. Before we get started,
I had somebody reach out last night late last night,
and they had a message that they wanted to deliver
to you.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
Pull him down. Get your pants lower on your waistline.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
That too damn high, Brady. Will Ferrell was not letting
go of the fact that you wore your football pants
too high when you played here.
Speaker 10 (16:54):
You know, if playing against Southern Cow and arguably the
greatest era ever with players like Reggie Bush and Matt
Lionard and Lofo to two all the great players that
went through there during that time wasn't enough. You had
to endure the heckling of Will Ferrell, who made you
question everything on the sidelines, in particular your pants potentially
(17:18):
being too high.
Speaker 12 (17:18):
I've always had long legs, and my brother in law,
A J. Hawk, makes fun of me all the time
about it. So I'm glad this is still going on,
but it was interesting. Will didn't want to talk about
the fact that this could.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
Be the last time these two teams ever play, which
that really started from the Southern Cal side of things.
And he also didn't mention anything about the game, which
it leads me to believe that he's a bit concerned
about his trophans.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
How did we get to this point where this rivalry
may go away?
Speaker 10 (17:48):
Southern Cal joined the Big Ten, you know, people, I
think through COVID, and this was like a bigger topic,
but everyone kind of looked to like just protect themselves.
Universes in particular, I think looked out and said, there's
a changing landscape in college football. I think they knew
that nil was on the horizon, and they started realizing
(18:10):
that the athletic department is going to take a hit
and we better be well funded if we want to
be able to continue on this course of maintaining as
many Olympic sports that we provide for both men's and
women's sports, as well as still being able to provide
our football, men's women's basketball teams with the resources that
they need. And so this forced you know, certain teams
I think to look for safe harbor, and.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
In the case of Southern Cal.
Speaker 10 (18:32):
They obviously, along with the UCLA and Oregon in Washington,
enjoyed the Big Ten.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
How big of a game is this for both of
these teams?
Speaker 10 (18:40):
It's an elimination game in my mind. I mean, obviously
Notre Dame can't afford another loss. This is the toughest
point of the play the rest of the schedule. That
goes without saying for Southern Cal, though, I think because
of the rest of their schedule, if they lose this one,
they're a two loss team. You still got to play Nebraska,
who's much improved under that role and Dylan Ryle of
the steps they've taken.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Then you got to play out of Oregon.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
I think if you drop either one of those two games,
you're probably not playing in the Big Ten Championship and
nine in threes not good enough to get.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
In the playoffs. So not only that, like is it
an elimination game for them in that.
Speaker 10 (19:13):
Sense, but also I think after the recent firing of
James Franklin, it makes you look at where Southern Col's
at with Lincoln Riley and when you look at the tenure,
and I know a lot of people have compared it
to Clay Helen when he first got there. But the
reality is they're pretty similar and Clay Helen had a
Rolls Bowl win, he had a conference championship, and Lincoln
Roley's not being able to get any of that done.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Maybe this is that year.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
You know, last week was a huge win for them,
I think from the standpoint of they were able to
beat a team in a physical manner that they really
hadn't shown at least this season and maybe throughout the
course of Lincoln Riley's tenure at Southern col So maybe
they're trying to build off that momentum. They feel like
this is the season to take that next big step.
But if not, it's not just about the playoff and
(19:56):
this year I think it's about like, where's this program
heading into Lincoln Riley and.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
How often, well, certainly this time of the year, the
bush push come up in a game that you were
there and you thought you had scored the game winning touchdown.
Liner talked about this earlier in the week that he
had a fumble and he went out of bounds. If
it doesn't, then the game is over. Fourth down pass
to Dwayne Jarrett, and then you had, you know, Reggie
(20:22):
and Liner with the bush Push.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
It comes up. I mean there's obviously like I feel
like everyone in the world watched that game.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
I don't know what the rats were, but everyone was
either like at that game or watched that game, or
at this point, I think I've met everyone who attended
that game, because that's when a lot of people come
up and say they're like, oh, I's.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
At the Bush Push game.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
I'm like, really, I was like, I feel like at
this point there was like, you know, eighty million people
who are there.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
But look, it was.
Speaker 10 (20:48):
It was an incredible atmosphere, the build up for that game,
the drama behind it. You know, I remember that week
and you're on campus now, so it's a Thursday, and
it usually starts to pick.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Up for home games, but that week it was like
on two.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
You know, you had people who were coming in town
to visit campus and to prepare for what was a
huge matchup versus number one team at Timo one, you know,
was the back to back national champion and like the
Dylan Pep rally on South Quad was huge. You know,
I was giving out Lionard's hotel information and the phone
number there. We gave up the the itinerary for when
the bus got there to the stadium.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Were you.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Hotel room?
Speaker 10 (21:27):
I was trying to I didn't get a hotel room,
but we had the number for the hotel, and so
I figured they're Notre Dame kids. They're smart enough to
figure out how to get individual room numbers to start
calling around. But there was a good contingent of fans
there when they pulled up to the stadium, and that
will tell you that they had that bus rocking back
and forth.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
And he tries to say, oh, no, that was us.
We were all hyped up inside.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
That got us excited, But it was it was as
crazy of an environment as I've ever seen Notre Dame really,
you know, being especially considering the PEP rally was in
the stadium. We have like forty thousand people halfway filled
up that bowl for the PEP rally the night before,
and the green jerseys and the grass was grown out
and everything that went along with it.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
So you know, it's unfortunate it ended the.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Way it did that, you know, final play, and I
want to set the record straight, you know, I would
hope that if I was the type of quarterback Dan
that couldn't get in on a quarterback snake on my
own that my running back would help me too. I
would hope if if I was that type of guy,
And now I'm not that type of guy, but if
I was, I would hope my running back would help
(22:33):
me too. So I've never really blamed Reggie and Matt
for that. You know, it's it was illegal Packed Ten officials.
You can't expect them to call it even to play before.
How they officiated that. I mean, it was what it was.
But they were a great team. That was that was
We watched their Arizona Stake game that week because Charlie
Weis Sore as a head coach at the time, want
us to see like how special Reggie Bush was. Like
(22:55):
our entire team sat and watched that game, and you know,
he was the greatest college football player that I'd ever seen,
and obviously in that game too, he was truly special.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
We're talking to Brady Quinn, Fox college football analyst. He'll
be an ann Arbor, Washington at Michigan. You know, this
is kind of a sneaky must win for Michigan coming
off the loss against USC and you still got a
couple of big games on their Big Ten schedule. So
what do you expect out of this game.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (23:26):
I mean, I've not been a fan of how Michigan
each week has kind of rolled out this offense that
it feels like they're still trying to figure out their identity.
I mean, obviously Haines and running back has been fine,
but with Bryce Underwood is talented as he is as
a freshman, it feels like they haven't really found that
rhythm of how they could consistently get him into a
(23:48):
groove early in games throwing the football.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
He's such a special.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
Talent that that's concerning for me. I hated how they
opened up last week versus Southern Cal I think that
played into a little bit of how that game got
away from them, and then this week you have a
similar team. Tamal Williams Junior is one of the best
quarterbacks in the country that we don't talk about enough
that you know, man is special.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
He can make plays with his legs, he can make
all the throws.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
They've got some talent to Coleman and running back Boston
on the outside, like there's some legit weapons, and you know,
I think the same conversation I just thoid about Lincoln
Riley with Sharon Moore. If they drop this one, I
think he's what eleven and eight over the past couple
of seasons, don't you start kind of questioning, like, what's
the direction of this Michigan program after winning a national
championship a couple of years ago, and if not for
(24:34):
the win over Ohio State, you know how much equity
toes Shroon Moore really have within that program. And so
I think, you know, after the firing of James Franklin,
with the buyout and what that number is, it's put
every coach unnotice at some of these blue blood programs
where there's high expectations, and I think Schroll Moore and
Michigan would would for sure fall into that category because
(24:55):
I'm not sure they're good enough this year to beat
Ohio State. Now I didn't think that last year. I mean,
they were the biggest underdog and they went into Columbus
and beat him. So maybe I'll be proven wrong, but
there's some big time concerned for me with Michigan right
now and where that program is headed.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Who's the best football team in the state of Indiana.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Oh Man, you had to do it, didn't you. You
had to do it. I'll give IU their flowers. I'll
give coach.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
Sig and Fernando Mendez and all their their you know
players that they're flowers. They have been super impressive this
year and it's it wasn't just a one hit wonder,
which we've seen that in years at IU.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
You know, we've watched so many coaches go in there
they have that one great season.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
I mean Tom Allen had that that season with Michael
Pennock too, that was kind of like one to remember,
and then they could never.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
Capture that or build off of that.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
And k Signetti has done that and now I think
one of the things that goes under the radar is
he's great at identifying head off It's Hammer's staff and
identifying players were the right fit. You know, he brought
a bunch of players with them in year one, but
like this year, going and getting Fernando Mendez, a player.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
At Cow who was a good player.
Speaker 10 (26:03):
But the way he's changed his trajectory and how people
are talking about him now is maybe a quarterback.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
We should look at it in the top ten of
the draft next year.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
Those are the sorts of decisions and things that he's
done that it just I think it kind of I
haven't been talked about enough with why they've been so
successful is he's able to find and got players that
fittest system that are able to execute. He plays their
strengths and then play at a high level. And that
was a dominant win at Oregon. Like that's a tough, talented,
physical team. They went into their house, controlled that game
(26:34):
and kind of dictated to them how that game was
going to go. So I will say right now, it's Indiana,
but I love what Notre Dame is doing. I love
how their defense has continued to improve.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
And I think CJ. Carr is a rockstar.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
If you asked me to say one quarterback right now,
I'd take him over anyone in the country hands down.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
And it's in by way. It's not even close.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Wow, Okay, why you know.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
It's the tape he has. He does everything well.
Speaker 10 (27:06):
Dan Like he stepped into I mean your face, first
touchdown pass was a no look touchdown in Miami, like
on the road, like it like it was nothing. And
he really brought his team back in that instance where
you know he was getting knocked around. He showed a
lot of toughness, showed a lot of poise and there's
just there's so many things he does so well, whether
it's the timing and anticipation, how he manipulates defenses. I mean,
(27:29):
when teams play zone coverage against him, he knows exactly
where he wants to go with the football, and he's moving.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Defenders to make throws.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
His downfield accuracy, I mean, you look at his air
yards per attempt. I mean, it's not like they're easing
him into this. He's taking chunks, he can make the
off platform throws.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
He can do it all.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
And and look, I try to watch every quarterback that's
draft eligible, and all the friends are all the top
guys in the country. Every single week, he has been
the most consistent one for me every single week.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
And everyone thinks it's biased because he's in their name quarterback.
But it's not that.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
I mean, it's pull on the tape and watch it.
And if people want to have a debate about that's fine.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Though.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Dante Moore has been great for Nanna Mendoz has been great.
We talked about him. Carson Beck's been good, but I
put them right up there with the best in the country.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
How old are you, I'm forty almost forty one.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Okay, so you've got Flacco and Aaron Rodgers who are
your age, yeah or older playing tonight.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
It's incredible. The icy hot boulder call it right. I
mean everyone's just getting all icy hot up before they
go out there on the field.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
But I think it's speech to you know, the style
that still wins within the NFL, and that's still being
able to play from the pocket. Like all the things
I just mentioned about CJ. Carr, You know, those are
things that when you play in the NFL, you have
to be able to throw to spots. You have to
be able to anticipate and have a sense of where
(28:53):
the ball needs to be so the receiver can catch
and run afterwards or get the catching yards after concept.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
You know, both those guys still do that. And we're
in a.
Speaker 10 (29:04):
Day and age where there's a lot of quarterbacks who
transition in the NFL who are dual threat and that's
not to their detriment, but they don't get as much protection.
Injuries start to add up from time to time, and
very similar to like you know MJ.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Who when he initially went into the NBA, he.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Was a high flying type player that could jump and
dunk from anywhere.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
But as the game.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
You know, as your game evolves and you get older,
you got to be able to kind of play down
from the post where you can isolate or develop an
outside shot or a mid range shot.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Same thing as a quarterback.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
You have to be able to eventually play from the
pocket where you're most protected and you have the best
chance of surviving to play the next down. Both those
guys have done that, and you know, talking to Joe Flack,
what's what's most impressive about this Dan is like he's
playing in different systems. It's like a different language out
there and he just got there and it's like watching him,
you know, still go out there in the field and execute.
(29:55):
It's so hard to do. You know, it's like explain
to someone go to your job in Spanish next week
if you're not bilingual. It's it's incredibly difficult. So credit
to both those guys. And I'm curious to see how
the Icy Hot Bowl goes. I don't knowing pulls anything
in warm ups or there's not any like issues you know,
getting chew and from or off the bus. You know,
(30:17):
when you're old like that, you step off the curb
the wrong way and roll an ankle.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
But That's what makes what Brady did even more remarkable.
It's not just playing, it's playing at a high level,
super Bowl level, super Bowl MVP level at you know,
forty five, and he can still play. Brady could still
play now, right, Well, I think so.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
I mean, you look at the numbers he was putting
up the end of his career and without a doubt.
I mean, you put him in certain certain teams, certain
situations you want to want to be a fire droll
at the quarterback spot. But yeah, I mean, I think
that's the thing is the games slowed down so much
for those.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
Guys that you know, they they know where the ball
needs to go.
Speaker 10 (30:56):
It's just about their ability to to physically do it
consistently at such a high level.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
But why can't that teach a twenty two year old
to do that? Why can't I teach cam Ward or
Caleb Williams or some of these younger quarterbacks to do that.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
Because you're breaking habits that have been built over thousands
of reps since they are probably in junior high. You know, nowadays,
the way football is taught is it starts in shotgun.
I mean, I've got cousins now who are playing peebe football.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
It's like they're going out a shotgun.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
I'm like, all right, like this like a you know,
under center be easier, and they're like, yeah, but you
know when they get older, they'll off to do it.
I'm like, all right, But the reality is when you're
in shotgun, you don't play so much with the game
with timing and rhythm. You know, every three step, five step,
seven step drop coincides with the depths and the timing
of the rap progressions that you have alongside of that.
(31:49):
When you get in the shotgun, it's tough to do
that because of obviously the snap and then how you
go about working your fullwork. You do your best to
get there, but doesn't happen. So once you then figure
out the timing and rhythm, then it's about how you
navigate the pocket right because that's where you're protected. So
many guys who get back in shotgun, they drop back
and they stay back there and then because of the
(32:09):
pressure they get, they want to run to left or
the right. Well, that's what every defense wants you to do.
You cut the field in half, so you're making their
job easier. And so that's why when you play from
under center, you realize you get back and then you
get back up and that's your safe spot. And so
there's so many little things like that that you have
to break those habits and learn kind of this new hab.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
To develop a new habit.
Speaker 10 (32:29):
Meanwhile, while I understand how to train your eyes, you know,
oftentimes there are these RPO offenses where I catch the
ball van I'm reading one guy and then if he
ever triggers, all right, I'm throwing.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
If he doesn't a handing off. That's drastically different than me.
Speaker 10 (32:42):
Looking through the defense, through the mic linebacker to the
safeties and how they're rotating, or what the mic linebacker's
doing if he's running to cover a man, or or
you know how what the configuration looks like pre and
posts snap, you know, based on your formation. All those
things aren't being taught as much anymore. So makes that
transition when you have to make a decision in two
(33:03):
to three seconds really really difficult to do it consistently
well at a high level.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Could you've gotten into Notre Dame if you weren't a
football player.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Hell no, hell no, Okay, I mean that was a
hard worker.
Speaker 10 (33:15):
But the kids, you say, I mean you're you're I
don't know where you're set up right a parking lot.
We got a picture of the Golden Domer touchdown Jesus
over there where we set up at almost like you're
near the stadium.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I'm about uh, well, not your arm, but like a
better arm. Uh it'd probably take two throws to get
to the stick l way could get me to the
stadium set up.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
Yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, we're good on the south side of that.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Yeah, you're perfect.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah. Where where's your dorm room? We were going to
stop by hell.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
Well Zom my dorm.
Speaker 10 (33:48):
No Zomb actually shut down, so sob Hall was my
freshman sophomore or dorm.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
It was kind of like the animal house type dorm.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
Deacon Dan came in there and he just put the
kebash on any partying going on. So, I mean, it's
not a dry campus. So uh, you know, guys liked
to have fun in there, and they it's not even
a dorm anymore. I don't think. I'm not sure if
it was like through COVID there wasn't some compliancy issues
or something, but I ended up I ended up moving
to Dylan my junior year, and then I went back
(34:18):
to see my room and they converted into like a
common space, so it's not even like my dorm room's
not even there anymore.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
So it's a little sad, a little sad, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Keep your head up, Okay, I think things are gonna work.
By the way.
Speaker 10 (34:30):
By the way, we're not going to be in ann
Arbor this week, Big Newon Kickoff is actually in Provo,
Utah for the Holy War between b.
Speaker 8 (34:38):
Y U and Utah.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Todd and gave me a little misinformation there. I guess
everywhere I saw.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Listened when you gave me or you.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Knew, and that was the game listed for like the
last three days. That was the game that they had listed.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Well and Todd.
Speaker 10 (34:54):
It's funny because we went to Utah earlier this year
and Todd's the one that was talking to me about bedshakers.
I don't know what that means, off, ask Todd after
this segment. But apparently that's the thing. I don't know, Todd.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Bed bed shakers too.
Speaker 8 (35:09):
Yeah, I don't know that up and forgot just.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Have anything to do with real healthwives of Salt Lake
City here.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
It's potentially, it's possible, it's possible.
Speaker 8 (35:17):
Nothing I'm aware of. Nothing I'm aware of.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
But safe travels to Provo and if you happen to
go to Michigan state travels there as well.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
I appreciate that. Guys.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
Hey go Irish too. It's a big one, might be
the last. We gotta enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
It's Brady Quinn, Fox college football analysts.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Why would they go to Provo instead of a Michigan there.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Don't blame them that they're going to Provo and.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
So the three different things Fox.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
How about we take a break and then we can
talk about this. Okay, that's disappointing.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Are you sure he knows where he's going? Maybe he's
going to Michigan. He's got a run.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Our Player of the Day is up next here on
the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Fox Sports Ready has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio

Speaker 7 (36:24):
Oh my god, the play of the day.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
This is the play of the day.
Speaker 8 (36:34):
Check this out.
Speaker 10 (36:35):
One to one pitch Kurk hits it high and deep,
right field, racing back road plays hat the fence.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Climbs the wall.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
It is gone.
Speaker 10 (36:45):
Maybe a dozen for the Blue Jays on a three
run homer from a Laja drum Kurt.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
That's courtesy of the Blue Jays Radio Network. That is
your play of the day. Blue Jays had nine extra
base hits thirty seven total bass is both franchise records
for a postseason. That's your play of the day. Player
of the Day brought to you by tire Rack. For
over forty years now, they've been trying to find you
the right tires for how and whatden where you drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection,
(37:15):
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tirerec dot com,
the way tire buying should be. We actually went out
to the test track yesterday at Ti Iraq, and we
actually drove the cars on the test track trying to
see who had the fastest lap time. And now we
had a professional driver with us and Todd got in.
(37:35):
You were the last one to get behind the wheel
and as soon as Todd gets in, you're checking your
side view mirror and there's no traffic. Says you're the
only car on the track and you were checking your
side view and rear view mirror.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
I did that for my road test also the guy
that's deciding if I should fail or pass, I'm fixing
his mirrors and he's like, what are you doing? So
I pretty much failed that before I even't pulled out
of the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
And then they accidentally turned on the sprinkler system us. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
Yes, it was such a blast though, because they had
the right tires on the car for the weather. It
rained that morning, so they didn't have to wet the
track and they kept saying go faster, go faster, and
the car is holding on. It was fantastic.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
Yeah, there was kind of a hilarious moment though, because
those sprinklers are on wedding the track that Todd was
the only one going around with his windshield wife ers.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
On which were spraying the windshield.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
I couldn't really, That's why I was ten seconds sow
with it. Everyone.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
So we appreciate Rady Quinn joining us. We want to
be appreciative of where he's going to be this week,
and he will not be in ann Arbor, Michigan.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Yes, I got misinformation, which I gave you misinformation and
made you look bad, as I do often.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
It was not going to the Washington Michigan game. They're
going to be at the Utah.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Are you blaming yourself, blaming various reputable websites and magazines
and different places that I go to from informatines or
I'll just say the ESPN dot com and Sports Illustrated
both said that the Fox nowon Kickoff was going to
be at Washington, Michigan. That's two places where you would
think would be reputable places to get in.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Would you clarify?
Speaker 7 (39:06):
Yeah, if you look up on the internets, where is
Big Noon Kickoff on Fox going to be this weekend?
It can be confusing if you go to random websites.
The first few I came up with said Big Noon
Saturday hits ann Arbor, whilst Big Noon Kickoff heads to provo.
The game Big Noon Saturday, the noon game is the
Michigan game. The show Big Noon Kickoff is in Provo. Now,
(39:28):
if you go to Foxsports dot com, it's very clear
who's where.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
Well, why would you check Fox to find out where
the Fox shows are? I would much rather go to
ESPN or Sports Illustrated, of course I don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Of course, for a Fox copied ESPN, it also had
a despa to get the ESPN. Now it's the mothership.
Why would you call it the mothership. That's the place,
that's where it all originates. How could you have it?
It does list Fox for the noonday, but Pauli's right,
those are two separate things, which I guess I'm just
learning that now where the college, you know, game day
typing the big noon kickoff isn't necessarily where.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
The act well, college game day often is at a place,
and then the game at noon on ESPN is not
that game.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
I thought I had it right, and I should have
tripled quit driuble day.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Next time when we have a certain guest on from
that network, I should probably go to that network's website.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
