(01:35):
Bun who has it better than we knew?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
No, boy, man, I just went out.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I love watching people create, if it's a carpenter, if
it's a mechanic, if it's a chef, and I.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Just like to see the whole process.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
They always got like six things going at once, and
it's always when Chad from Traeger comes in and you
just watch them prepare stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
You're like, I don't know if I could do it.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Now they do every day, but I'm always amazed when
you see somebody create something, You're like, man, I'm jealous
of that.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, poet, if you could.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Wave a wand go back in time and learn how
to become an expert in one like side thing, you're
still gonna do what you do for a living, like woodworking,
like building, food, like cooking or other music, even like
playing an instrument, all of them, but I gotta you
gotta pick.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
One that's like I would love to be able to
be a carpenter. I'd love to be able to play guitar. Cooking, yeah,
but not as much. Like here's the problem. Whenever my
wife will say, hey, dinner, why don't you do dinner tonight? Well,

(02:43):
I want it to be great, and then when it's
not great, and then I don't want to do it again.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
But do you have a thing like a go to
not really not really go to is not doing it?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, pretty much. I guess if I was gonna learn
it read, I would probably say mechanic. I'd like to
be able to rebuild cars, store cars. Yes, yeah, that
would be a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
That makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah that does. Yeah, and you can make some money
doing that. But you know, even even guys who do
would working and it's you know, you do things with
your hands.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I am. I'm always amazed at that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Great respect for them all right, final hour, Uh, it's
a meat fighting My thanks to Treger for supplying the
grills to Kings Hawaiian for them to create a masterpiece
here the Feast of Resistances Thursday Night football. The Giants
acted like the Giants and the Niners acted like the Niners.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I'm wondering how much.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Of a bath Vegas took last night because there were
a couple of bets give the points to the Giants
and Christian McCaffrey would score a touchdown. Those were two
that felt like everybody is going to probably pile on here.
I don't know what the old under was. I would
have taken the under, but I don't know what that

(04:04):
final number was. And McCaffrey scoring a touchdown because he
scored a touchdown and what now twelve consecutive games including
regular season in postseason, but last night Niners kind of
did what they needed to do.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Here's Rock Purty, the Niners quarterback.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Obviously, you want to win every game, but you know,
we have a high standard. We have a standard that
you know, we want to be the best versions of
ourselves and and you know, so for us, it's sort
of like, yeah, we win, we win the game, which
is most important, which is great, but there's stuff out
there that we can you know, clean up and be
better at. So that's the standard that you know we
have here, and you know, we have what fourteen more

(04:45):
games to do that, you know, to be the best
versions of ourselves and clean things up. So We're gonna
take it one day at a time, and but it's
huge for us to be, you know, three to zero
and have momentum.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
By the way, the Giants have allowed ninety eight points
and generated zero takeaways since ninth teen sixty. Only one
team has accomplished that feat, the nineteen ninety eight Detroit Lions.
They allowed one and one points through three games with
all the takeaway Steat of.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
The day, stat of the day, best stat of the day,
stat of the day?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Here comes that? What stat of the day?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yes, Paul, I have one issue from last night's game.
There's a play I think it was in the second
quarter and Hurpstreet's on the call. There as Daniel Jones
on a quarterback sneak. They had two guys behind him
like a bulldozer. They were pushing him. He's a big dude.
He kind of burrows himself. He kind of goes under
the backside of the center of the right and then
two linebackers fly over the top. You can see nothing

(05:44):
from either side. You can't see where the ball is.
You could barely see where Daniel Jones as a person
is from any angle. They had the top shot. So
even if you wanted to review it. There's linebackers on
top of Daniel Jones back and they go first down.
They just gave it to him like no big deal,
and Herpstreet goes that was first down. Because Anal Jones
does not move forward in any way to play, I
would actually say that he probably went back a foot.

(06:05):
Are they going to eventually have to put a chip
in the ball on both sides or all sides of
it and use computers to decide first out? Because of
this new Jalen Hurts bulldozer play, you can see nothing.
You can see lesson you could two years ago.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I'm surprised they haven't done it. I thought that they
were working on that to put a chip, but you'd
have to have it at both ends of the football
because you could have the ball in your hand and
if the chip is back by you know, your elbow
as opposed to your fingers, then you know that's the
difference of a yard. But yeah, I could see them
getting to that point. I don't know how those officials

(06:42):
run in there and they're like, I know exactly where
to spot this, and I'm thinking, how much of this
is just guesswork. I have an approximation of I think
it's right around in this area.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yes, yes, sir, it's still peeling like six seven guys
off of the ball.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
So you got the reps, I got the spot.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
The news yesterday the Cowboys they lost Trayvon Diggs. This
has been a dominant defense and ten sacks, seven takeaways
in just two games. So they lose Trayvon Diggs. Micah
Parsons is going to continue to be Micah Parsons, but
Dallas has yet to play an elite quarterback. So with
Diggs not there, you got Stefan Gilmour, he's a former

(07:24):
All Pro and Gilmore though is thirty three, and you
got some games against Keenan Allen, AJ Brown, DK Metcalf,
Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill, Cooper cup A, Monroe, Saint Brown.
So they're on the schedule that Dallas defense has gotten

(07:45):
to the quarterback. The question is can they continue to
get to the quarterback and is that back end going to.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Be able to hold up its end of the bargain
pole question.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
For the final hour of the program, we'll talk to
the former NFL quarterback Todd Blackletch. He'll be on the call.
He's in South Bend, Ohio State against Notre Dame. Also,
when you're thinking of college football, Alabama against Mississippi. When's
the last time Alabama under Nick Saban lost two games

(08:13):
before Thanksgiving? I was gonna say September, but I don't
think that's ever happened. But if he would lose again,
I'm not saying he's going to But you're going against
Lane Kiffin. Oh, yes, do dut Dom? What about Clemson?
Clemson against Florida State? Dot don These coaches don't lose games,

(08:39):
They don't lose many, and they don't lose many in
you know, just start out a season, yes, Paul.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Over the past thirteen years, Nick Saban has averaged exactly
one regular season lost a year. Yeah, like two is?
I can't find it too. He's had one two loss
regular season I can find thirteen years.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
You know, he didn't lose two games before Thanksgiving? Yes, Marva.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
How many losses would it take for Alabama to be
clear out of the college football playoffs? Like, would they
have to lose like three regular season games to be
like three?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Definitely? Yes, three definitely two not.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Necessarily depending on like maybe who or yeah who?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
But great college football weekend. Also, did you see.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Where the athletic director at Oregon State must be a
big fan of this show, because I've been talking about
once you get all of these big time programs together,
maybe you have forty schools who were going to have
a model based off of what the NFL and maybe
the premier league has, that you would have relegation. So
that's what the athletic director brought up that maybe you

(09:49):
have Now this was drafted by Boise States Associate athletic
director Michael Walsh, that there's talk of maybe you have
read relegation.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
You can move up and down through.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Different divisions or leagues based upon on field performance each season.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, that's what I've been saying.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Add a little bit more to this and the fact
that you're going to have these conferences, these big schools
and maybe everybody is under the same roof there, and
wouldn't it be cool at the end of the season
and you have this with a premier league with relegation
at the end of the year and some of the
most exciting games are the relegation games and what it means,

(10:34):
the importance of being relegated or moving up.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I think it would be a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
And if you read into the details of this, it's
a little too complicated to give. But it keeps the
Power five conferences intact. It doesn't change that. It just
changes who floats in and out of the bottom of
those conference. Like if the Vandy has a horrible season,
they go down to another conference that's best for them regionally,
and someone goes goes.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Up see at Florida State, Clemson, Colorado, or in UCLA Utah,
which is sneaky good ole Miss Bama. You've got Oregon State,
Washington State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Iowa and Penn State.
A couple of phone calls in here Jeff and Syracuse.
Hi Jeff, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 7 (11:15):
Hey Dan, Good morning, long, long, long time listener. I
have enjoyed your show, what you do and all your Danettes.
I'm actually an alumnus here at Crappenburg State.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (11:29):
And I don't know if you're aware or not, but
the chancellor is retiring next Bran and so I'm part
of a search committee looking for a chancellor to replace him,
and would like to your permission to nominate you as
the next chancellor here at Craptenburg State.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
That is quite an honor, Jeff. In four years from now,
when I retire, I'd be more than happy to be
the chancellor at Crappensburg State.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, well, yeah, I can confirm. I just looked it up.
Chancellor Robert Sharmon has left.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Bobby Sarmon. Yes, in the audition, Bobby Sherman, what a run? Yeah,
he had the runs?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh what are runs? Well? Uh? Nathan in Denver, Good morning, Nathan.
What's on your mind today?

Speaker 8 (12:09):
Good morning, DP. How you doing great? Yeah, yeah, thanks
for taking my call. Sure, six three medium, two twenty.
I think you're really missing the boat on the Crappensburg
State mascot.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
All right, enlightened me.

Speaker 8 (12:26):
Yeah, it should be the fighting crappies, the crappies, the fish.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Oh, I've caught croppy. I've caught crappy before. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
You don't pronounce it crappy, but it's crappy crappy. Yeah,
all right, it's spelled crappy, but it's pronounced crappy.

Speaker 9 (12:44):
I just think the idea of like, for some reason
it's Crappensburg State, but the mascot and like logo or
whatever is like a knight on a horse for some reason,
like it's just that it makes no sense whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Uh. Fred in West virgin Good morning.

Speaker 10 (13:01):
Fred, Good morning DP. How are you great?

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Fred?

Speaker 10 (13:06):
Thank you for taking the call. Anyway, let's go with
this Crappensburg State. I think that's will be in a
bold game this next year, the Continent Bowl with Crappensburg
State dookies and the p More you.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
Golden Wave, Thank you, p More you now, Hi, Fred,

Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know how other football teams when they're in the
big game they put up a four for the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Too. We own the second quarter.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, classic second quarter team boy band music today, Marvin,
that's our themed music today.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Jeff in New Orleans joins us on that topic.

Speaker 11 (13:54):
Hi, Jeff Gorn DP five in a soft two twiny.
Just got my Crappensburg State T shirt and the mail
quite pleased with it. And it's love to be an alumni.

Speaker 12 (14:09):
Now.

Speaker 11 (14:10):
I just wanted to check in with a boy band,
a band that goes overlooked all the time, believe it
or not. It's three Dog Night. They had three lead singers,
they stood up front, they played a little instruments, they
played guitars and one out, but their backup band was
behind them, and they stood up front and sang, you
guys might want to check out come to the celebrity
ball or Mama told me not to come. They're all

(14:32):
three part harmonies, really great stuff.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, three dog night. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
But I don't know if they were young enough that
you have to be a boy band.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Manudo is one of the first boy bands. I mean
that was that was a big deal Manudo. Ricky Martin
was the breakout star then.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Wasn't Manudo?

Speaker 9 (14:54):
Didn't they have sort of like just a rotating cast
of Yeah, I think like once you sort of like
aged out, is there brought in a new Yeah, yeah,
that's wild transfer portal.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, what's that timing? A mustache?

Speaker 8 (15:07):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Pal, you're right, yes, too old. Yeah, but it feels
like there are boy bands. What's the uh one from Korea?
Bts is that?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, it feels like they like one had to go
into the military and then I think they just plug
in somebody else. I think plug and plug. Fritzy likes
to point out at Crappensburg State, they're always going for two.

Speaker 1 (15:28):

and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app. Oh,
this is yours, it.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Is I remember I have two daughters who are teenagers.
So over the past ten years I've heard a bit
of one direction.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I have a friend friend of the show. He says
that boys to men were like the nineteen eighties giants.
They gave birth to the Patriots and also known as
in sync Timberlake, is Tom Brady still won by himself?
Backstreet Boys would be Peyton Mannings Colts, very good but

(19:36):
never good enough. This guy really loves his boy band
and Ben's and he's given.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
It way way too much thought. But thank you, thank you, Evan.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
It's more phone calls. Todd Blackledge set to join us.
He'll be doing the game. He'll join us from South
bend here. In a moment, I was curious what Nick
Saban's stats up are in September in his coaching career
since taking over at Alabama two thousand and seven, sixty
two and four, sixty two and four in September, twenty

(20:12):
seven and oh in September from twenty sixteen through twenty
twenty two, that's twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
And zero.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Prior to November first, Nick Saban's record is one hundred
and twenty one and eight. But if old Miss wins,
so now you got two losses. Does it become a thing?
If Clemson loses.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
That's a good way of saying it. It becomes a thing.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Thing, Yeah, because we're big on things. Colorado is a thing.
You're not gonna get fired, but it's a thing right.

Speaker 14 (20:49):
By the way.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
AJ mccern will join us coming up on Monday, the
former Alabama quarterback. Also, we were wondering about this. Michah
Parsons right now is league MVP?

Speaker 1 (21:02):
All right?

Speaker 14 (21:03):
Now?

Speaker 2 (21:03):
I know Tua is the favor to win the MVP
according to DraftKings. I don't know where Michael Parsons is
on that list. We've had the defensive player win the MVP.
The overall MVP twice. I think Lawrence Taylor and Allen Page.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
They don't make the vote totals public, so I don't
know where JJ Watt finished any of those years. He
was the Defensive Player of the Year, and it always
felt like that was sort of the cop out like pitchers, Hey,
you got the cy young, you shouldn't be up for MVP,
and I disagree. I think there have been cases when
pitchers were the most valuable player.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Do you have the current odds on MVP.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, unless I'm gonna check. I'm checking a few sites.
I don't have Michael Parsons in the top ten, and
I got Tua, Mahomes, Josh Allen, the usuals, the usual suspects.
That's it seems like almost like it's they shuffle defenders
to defensive MVP. Yeah, but I mean he's not replaceable.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
He's even more important now with Trayvon Diggs going down, right,
I would think.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think you can get Micah Parsons that like, he's
twelfth in the MVP odds on the hot places we.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
See, how is that possible?

Speaker 15 (22:16):
Now?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Okay, I can make a case that a quarterback has
more of an impact any of these quarterbacks. Brock perty
has more of an impact on a game because he's
the quarterback, but Micah Parsons, as far as people who
make plays, is the most valuable player right now, right,
I mean, the Jets defensive coordinator came out and said,

(22:38):
we underestimated how fast he was.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Did you not watch film?

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Could you make the case that he would be harder
to replace than two would be with Miami because whatever
quarterback took over for two would still have hill and waddle. Yeah,
I know it's your splitting hairs, but it's closer than
being ranked twelfth to the MVP.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
I want to play.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Tell you what Andy Staples said yesterday. Andy was on
He covers college football the website is and Won, and
he was talking about I wanted him to compare Justin
fields in brock Purty with Justin Field's coming out of
Ohio State and where the receivers are always open, and
then brock Purty playing at Iowa State where he had
to sometimes throw his receivers open. So here's a portion

(23:23):
of what Andy Staples had to say comparing Justin Fields
to brock Purty.

Speaker 16 (23:28):
I think that's that's going to be the question until
one of them kind of breaks out and becomes a
success in the NFL. Is are they not asked to
do the things that they need to do?

Speaker 1 (23:38):
And the other just.

Speaker 16 (23:39):
Obvious thing with Ohio State quarterbacks, their receivers are so
much better than everyone else. There's a different kind of
open at Ohio State than somewhere else. Like I'll give
you an example, brock Purty's receivers at Iowa State weren't
nearly as open as Justin Field's receivers. That so brock
Purty had to learn to fit it in there. Justin Field,

(24:00):
for the most part, had somebody wide open.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's Andy Staples.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I had not heard that, and I really like that analogy,
that comparison that he had.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Let's bring in Todd Blacklitch.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
He played the position, won a national title at Penn State,
former NFL quarterback, and he will be their NBC Big
Ten Saturday Night, South Bend. It'll be Catherine Tappan, Noah Eagle.
Todd will be in the booth with them, and the
festivities start tomorrow night. It's seven thirty Eastern on NBC
and Peacock Todd. Let me start there with what Andy

(24:31):
Staples was saying the challenge of coming into the NFL
where quarterbacks have receivers open as opposed to a quarterback
who has to throw his receivers open.

Speaker 14 (24:44):
Yeah, that's a pretty interesting point. I mean, you still
have to have basic mechanics and fundamentals to be an
accurate thrower, you know, even if you don't have to
fit in all tight windows and you have guys getting over, Yeah,
that's you'll have to put the ball on the right spot.
I think in the case of a brock party. He also,
so you know, he didn't necessarily have the ability to run,

(25:05):
extend plays, do all that kind of things the way
a Justin Fields does, and so he had to make
sure that he was good with his timing, good with
his accuracy, good with his anticipation, just to you know,
to be good period as a college quarterback. And certainly
that's translated well for him in the NFL too.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
So what's Justin Field's issue?

Speaker 14 (25:28):
You know, I haven't watched enough to know. I mean,
obviously it seemed like he and the offensive staff need
to be on the same page, you know, they need
to understand, Okay, these are the things I do. Well,
let's build around that. These are the things I don't like,
and they just need to get on the same page
and make sure that they are calling plays that he

(25:50):
can be successful at and that he feels confident and comfortable.
And so, you know, I think it's a combination. I
think it's him maybe, you know, locking in a little
bit more and becoming more accurate and more in tune
to what it takes to be a high level quarterback.
And then I think the coaching staff and the play
calling need to work in conjunction with him in a

(26:10):
higher way.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
How much of an advantage is Sam Hartman's age.

Speaker 14 (26:16):
I think it's a huge advantage. I mean, in fact,
just watching him on the practice field and just you know,
his presence, it reminds me of the presence Stetson Bennett
had with Georgia in the last two years. An older guy. Now,
Sam had way more playing experience than Stead's and Bennett,
you know, but it's just that maturity that you know,
you're in a locker room with a lot of eighteen,

(26:38):
nineteen twenty year old kids, and here's a guy who's
played fifty games at the Division one level, the Power
five level, and so he's got the beer. To me
he looks older, you know, and he acts older, and
I think I think that's a calming presence on that
football team.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
How good is Marvin Harrison.

Speaker 14 (26:55):
He's as good as I've seen I mean, you know,
and I've seen some great Alabama wide receiver, some outstanding
players at Ohio State before him. I don't know that
I've seen anybody any better than Marvin. I mean, he
is the complete package. I mean, he's big, he's extremely fast,
he runs great routes, he has excellent hands, and I

(27:17):
just think the ceiling for him is is still out there.
I think when he gets to the next level, you know,
he'll be an even better player.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
But is there a comparison we always like comps. Is
he Larry Fitzgerald or is he a Randy Moss or Yeah.

Speaker 14 (27:30):
I would say probably closer to Randy Moss, you know,
in my in my opinion, because of the speed, you know,
and because he does have that outstanding speed that you know,
the long speed and top on top of you know,
the quickness and the route running, which I think the
route running and a lot of the nuances of being
a wide receiver he got from his dad, you know,

(27:52):
and was taught because Marvin Senior was an outstanding receiver
and route runner Hall of Famer. But but Marvin Junior
is a bigger body, and typically it's harder for bigger
body guys to be intricate route runners, and so that
to me is one of the things that makes him
very special.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Todd black Ledge will be on the call NBC. It'll
be Big ten Saturday night. It'll be Ohio State at
Notre Dame and that'll be starting at seven thirty Eastern
on NBC in Peacock. How sustainable is what Dion's doing
at Colorado?

Speaker 14 (28:24):
Well, you know, at this point, I'd hate to bet
against him, you know, or say that he can't do anything,
because it's amazing when he's done so far. You know.
The only thing I don't know, and because I've not
covered one of his games, so I don't know the
quality of depth that he has on his roster. And
that's the thing you worry about, you know, as a
season goes on and you start playing conference games, you

(28:46):
get some guys dinged up. What's your depth like on
your offense and defensive lines in particular, that's the biggest
question I have. You know, they're already without Travis Hunter,
who is electrifying. They're going to be without him for
you know, potentially for a game or two. But so
but in terms of how well coached they are and

(29:07):
the level that they execute at, I think I think
they can compete with anybody right now. And I think
Shador Sanders is in a conference full of great quarterbacks,
you know what, the conference formerly known as the Pac twelve.
I mean, he fits right in that.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Mold NIL or transfer portal having a bigger impact on
college football, I think I.

Speaker 14 (29:35):
Think the NIL. I think both for sure, but I
think the NIL because at least of the transfer portal,
it's like everybody's playing with the same deck of cards,
and with the NIL, it's it's kind of all over
the place, you know, and and some places are doing
more with it, some are doing less, some are allowed

(29:56):
to do more, some are allowed to do less. And
so I think there's there's more inequities, you know, right now,
because there's no real oversight on it from a national perspective.
So I think it's having a bigger impact right now
than the portal. But from the standpoint of redoing a
roster and reshaping a team, you can get a lot

(30:18):
done with the portal, and instead of having to wait
on high school kids to develop, you can go find
guys that have you know, the resume on tape of
playing at that level and plug and play a lot easier.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well, you have these old school coaches like Dabo Sweeney.
He didn't believe in you know NIL, you know, the
anti transfer portal. You know, at some point, you know,
I don't know, can you survive without embracing NIL and
transfer portal? No?

Speaker 14 (30:51):
And you know, I know Dabo has not wanted to
really do a lot with the transfer portal. I do
know they have NIL stuff going on at Clemson because
I've you know, done a couple of games and I
and I know some of the things that they're doing.
But no, I think you have to embrace all those
things because we're not going back to anything different. We're

(31:12):
not going back to the way it was the transfer
portal was here. Uh you know, they they will tweak
it in terms of how many windows there are and
how long those windows are where kids can jump in
and out of the portal, But we're not going away
from that. And NIL is not going anywhere either. In fact,
it'll probably just continue to grow.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Could you imagine Joe Paterno, Woody Hayes, both schen Beckler
embracing Ani l No.

Speaker 14 (31:38):
Yeah, it's it would probably be enough to drive them
out of the game. You know, I don't think that
they would would want to be in the game, uh
with with the kind of stuff that that coaches have
to deal with now, because you know, managing a roster
is nothing like it used to be used to those
old school coaches. They'd recruit a kid red shirt most
of their freshmen, have them for five years, you know,

(32:00):
and build their roster that way. Those days are way
way gone.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Great to talk to you is always have fun on
Saturday night. Thank you, Todd, Thanks Dan, take care Todd Blacklitch.
He'll be on the call with Noah Eagle Catherine Tappan.
It'll be Notre Dame in Ohio State Saturday, seven thirty
eastern on NBC in Peacock. All right, from a perception standpoint,
how important is this game for Notre Dame now you're

(32:25):
hosting Ohio State. It was a good game last year
in Columbus. What was the final score polling?

Speaker 3 (32:30):
That was to open the season. It was a really
good first half. They lost twenty one to ten and
then they followed it up with that Wonky lost to
Marshall the next week. Yeah, Notre Dame last year if
they had a quarterback, they had a bunch of close
games that you know, a coupled. They lost to Stanford
just last year.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I know, well, they got a quarterback.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
So you're saying it's with Notre Dame. If they win it,
people look at them differently.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
I think, so, yeah, even if they keep it close.
But you know, these are the games if you're going
to be an elite team, you know you're playing a
great team, but you got to win these games. It's
sort of like Jacksonville against Kansas City where I'm like, okay,
are they going to take that next step? Is Trevor
Lawrence going to take that next step? Then win that game?

(33:12):
And they didn't play well at all. But you got
Sam Hartman who's twenty four and the moment's not going
to be too big for him. But I just don't
know how good Notre Dame is. Ohio State always going
to have weapons, always, they're going to have more talent,
but Notre Dame at home got to win these games.
But I think perception wise is it going to be yeah,

(33:33):
same Notre Dame or is it going to be you
know what? They went toe to toe and won that game, Yeah, pauling.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
And if they can win it, Notre Dame. That sets
up home October fourteenth, USC.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, all right, let's take a break. If you're watching
on Peacock and why why would you be? Of course,
because America is I don't know if I said that
the right way. If you're watching on Peacock, why wouldn't
you be?
