Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks to Teaching Award for joining us in the last hour.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We're gonna ran and think here wait Comma Sparrel hotline
though we are a good friend from CBS for roomy
being Romany.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
How's it going this evening?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Oh it's going great. Dad, A little snowy, little snowy,
So we're good.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yeah, I'm a little worried. I haven't looked outside yet.
Don't only drive home.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Its gonna look like I was just trying to hope
that it wasn't sticking out there. But now you're suggesting
that it's a little snowy out there. I might I
might be in for a fun ride home.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, in your car might be fun, and it might
be fun.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, even Roy's making I've got to get rid of that.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
That car used to be fun. It is no longer fun.
That car used to be fun. It was fun a
few years ago. It's no longer fun. I'm gonna have
to I'm gonna be able to look out for a
new car. That's that's something. So somebody get at me
about a deal on a new car, especially like if
you've got an electric thing, I kind of want to
try that out.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
For one electric car I've been wanting to try it out.
We'll see how it goes. H Roby.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
The Heisman finalists were a Now's.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Nick and I had a bitter.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Feud a bit on the earlier as NA Travis Hunter,
Dash Janty we.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Both agree on.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
But then Dylan Gabriel and cam Ward, whom I'm less
appreciative of them being there where Nick was from their camp.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I was talking up Army quarterback Bryce and Daily was
the same number.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Of touchdowns as Ashton Janty rushing, plus you know, the
throwing touchdowns as well. Nick called me an idiot, and TJ.
Ward came on and just totally agree with everything I
said word for word. And I may be embellishing this slightly,
but I do feel a little vindicated.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Okay, Well, I'm unclear where TJ stands on this, but
I'm with you. I wasn't overwhelmed by the quarterbacks choices.
Almost felt like, well, you got to have quarterbacks in
the race, you know. Dylan Gabriel, certainly, I understand that
where he's led Oregon into and that is undeniable. But
when you look at the numbers, the numbers, there's quarterbacks
(01:47):
with better numbers out there, including I know you're gonna
get me flax for this, but even including sirorth Anders,
you's got better numbers than Dyllan Gabriel was one last game.
Now again, Dylan Gabriel brought them to the one seed,
and that speaks for something. You know, in a college
football playoffs, first you're in the Big Ten, all of
these things. But I'm not overwhelmed.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
By that choice. When I look at the two quarterbacks
that are in the race.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
To me, that basically feels like, okay, no, this is
just down to Travis national Genty, Like, I don't look
at either of them and think that they have a
realistic chance or should have a realistic chance of beating
out Travis or Genty for one and two in that race.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Robbie, if Travis is able to pull this off, he
would become the second Buff to win the most Covenant
Trophy in college football. What would that mean for the
CU Buffs program?
Speaker 6 (02:37):
And I know you are alumni of the Buff organization.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
What was it?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
What would it mean for you? What would it mean
for the fan base? But what would it mean mostly
for the football program?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, I mean it would mean a tremendous amount for
that program. I mean, the first time since the great
Vershankl would be you know, incredible, and it is one
of those things that I think is a micro with
everything that's gone on the past two years, I think
there's a lot of people who devout buss fans that
every pot that the bus would once again get back
to right where they are national prominence, where you have
(03:10):
got a bona fide Heisman candidate, the one that we
believe should be standing up there with the hardware on
Saturday evening. And of course it does a ton for
recruiting and all of those things as well, but just
tremendous for the program that gets a lot of love,
gets a lot of hate.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
But to have someone like that walk through those halls.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And be a bus and be solidified as a bus
in that fashion, you know, it's it's tremendous and I
think that for bus fans that truly means a lot.
It means a lot.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Really what's happened in the past two.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Years where this program is really is really back and
really in national relevance and it doesn't matter what school
you go to to see a generational player like that
has been incredible and I think that's truly how Buss
fans feel. But this would just really pick it up
out much more. And yeah, I mean the Heisman winner
is a lot for a program, especially a program tho
(04:05):
only ever had one before him.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So I was romy Bean from from CBS.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Romy You know, the Buffs are kind of pulling in
a lot of the hardware as far as that kind
of stuff goes.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
The accolades for Schidor and Travis Hunter.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Meanwhile, Kitty Dillingham's got Arizona State and college football playoffs.
What do you think has enabled his ability to uh
take the program to that level of success even without
perhaps some of the hardware of a Shidoor or Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, and Kenny Dillingham has been incredible. And you know what,
if you go back to last season, he turned over
the program much like Prime did here in Colorado, just
a lot quieter. But I not positive on this. I
believe he had the most the biggest turnover last year.
I think it was more he had more, you know,
transfers in and out last season than Prime did. I
(04:55):
think he had somewhere around seventy. It was tremendous. So
it's he has done in many ways a very.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Similar thing when he went to Arizona.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
State and when Prime arrived at Colorado, again different in
the amount of noise in the publicity of it.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
He kind of did it quietly, but he did that
same thing where he took a program, he.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Pushed out a lot of people that were part of
the non winning culture beforehand, and he built it really
from the ground up in such a short period of time.
It's been tremendous. It's really been tremendous what he's done,
and to do that, you know, in his own recruiting
style and really his own way. But at the same time,
not that different from what Prime did with turning.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Over a program really two years in a row.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So it's incredible what he's done, the culture that he's
built in such a short period of time, and the
way he did it again so quietly. It's very cool.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You give him a tremendous amount of respect for what
he did in many.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Ways under the radar. Amazing that his program was picked
to finish a last in the Big twelve. I mean,
you just love to see it, right, And they never,
you know, never spoke about it. They just they just
put their heads down and went to work. But incredible
with what he's built.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
And really with you know, no excuses, very high expectations.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
He doesn't really stand for.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Any nonsense, you know, And he went about it again
I've said it four times already, similar to how primed
in you're one.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
So it's very cool to see what he's done well.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
With the biggest conversation opposite the Heisman and Shador Sanders
has definitely been one.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
How great to see your buffs have done.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
And year two on the Coach Prime and with that
expectation come with a lot of accolades and a lot
of whispers and the fact of Coach.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Prime possibly leaving see you and Boulder to head for
the NFL.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
If you were advising Coach Prime, and I know you
sit down with him during the season with your show
on CBS four, if you could advise him, would you say, well,
what would you tell Coach Prime as it pertains to
either make it jumps in the NFL or possibly staying
in Boulder for years to come.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, I think big picture with Prime when you look
at I think the.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
NFL in general is not a great fit for him.
And what I mean by that is right, you can't
win a Prime gear on the field, right, you can't
really establish your own brand. You are a brand.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You are part of whatever team's brand you join.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
If you are the head coach of the New York Giants,
you're wearing Giants gear, right, You're not wearing Prime gear.
It's different, right, the kind of in many ways it's
see you. He kind of has cart blanche. You can
know whatever he wants, and he is a savior in Boulder, right,
and he.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Can make make his own rules and people will go
with the flow.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
And he has got a man in Rick George who supports,
you know, his every move and will do everything he
can to support him. So I think from that element,
in terms of really just you know, the.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Business side of it, I think college is a better fit.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
In that sense. And I also think we've coached Prime.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Look.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
A big thing for him is mentoring these young men.
It is about more than just football.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I think he has a passion and a purpose.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
To really guide young men and help them, you.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Know, become really contributing members of society. And you can
speak to the Nick, it's different when you get it
to the NFL. Those guys hear the message differently.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
They don't want to hear the same thing, right, they
don't want to be mentored in the same way. It's different.
This is a this is a job now. So I
think that's the piece of it too. And you know,
I think with Nil, you know, I'm a ton of
power right that it's for kids who want to play there,
who want to get to the next level, who are
motivated with that staff. I think it's I think he's
got you know, I think Colorado really is a great
(08:40):
fit for it. You can really rule the roost. However,
which way he wants, I've always thought the only way
I think he goes to the NFL, and if there's
an opportunity to coach.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
His son, I think he considers it right. But outside
of that, I don't think he really has.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
An interest to elevate to the NFL unless it is
doing that, you know, continuing that journey with his kids.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So I was Roby Viene from CBS four.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Robby, we're in the age of the alt cast, as
it were. Tonight's Monday Night football game had the Simpsons
alt cast. I don't know who asked for that, but
that is a thing that happened. Are you a fan
of any of these I suspect the Manning Cast is
probably going to get the most you know, love here.
But are you a fan of any of these alt casts,
whether it's Nickelodeon or the Simpsons or whatever it may be.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I do love the Maning Cast obviously. I think I
gives I give a lot of love to the man
Cast for sure. You know, it's funny because I feel
like we are conflicted here with with this fund Bob.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Alt cast, because there's there's a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Of raw memories there for Broncos fans. Right when it
came to the Christmas Day massacre as it is known,
and Patrick had some orders for Russell Wilson. We remember
that one.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
But you know, I like it.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I think it's fun. I think it's a fun way
to bring in other fans. But I I do love
the Manning Cast. Outside of that though, I kind of
with like the Simpsons and that I'll watch a little bit,
but try and keep it on the main cast.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
But I think it's nice for people who want to
get into football.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I don't got need to be with it.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Well running Before you joined us, I put something out
on social media about technology and how I felt technology
was ruining relationships in the dating scene. And I also
taught something out about a proposed app to help both
men and women in a relationships kind of get alone better.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Based on translation, Ben coined the app.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You call it dude Speak from the makers of Coach Speaking.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
That's right, dudes Speak, where you can have your woman
a significant other speak into the app and it translates
it so the guy understands and we can communicate better.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
If there was such an app, would you be.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
In favor and would you be really promotive of this
particular app?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
You know what, I think it's a pretty solid punnis. Actually,
you know, it does borderline on like man's planing and
women's planning.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Yes, a little bit, but hey, you know what, I
don't hate it.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It could be a good communication to it. Uh, you
know that's except the AI generator then for the women
saying I'm fine, it's gonna have to come up with
a lot of relations and honestly, I don't know if
AI is ready to come up with all of the
translations of what I'm fine means in so many settings.
So that's your first blitch, that's your first hurdle. You
(11:29):
got to overcome that.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
That's right, right, And also man's plating romy is when
a man explains to a well she a.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Man's plating, man's plating. See how that works?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh my god, I got my mom on that would
see mom by man's plating is when a man explains
to her and she was like, I could, I swear
I've never seen that level of anger pass over her
eyes at one.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Point, at one point in time talking with Robbie being
for Robbie, we'll get the game coming up against the
Colts this that's the biggest game in Denver since they're
run up to Super Bowl fifty for the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Because if you lose this game, the cults are one
behind you with the tiebreaker. Matter of fact, every wildcard
team in contention would own the tiebreaker on you, versuss
putting some distance in between and possibly positioning yourself to
not even be the last wild card, which gets you
ostensibly a more favorable matchup there in the opening round.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You know what it is fun? Right now?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
We are at a place where each game feels like
it is the biggest game, right That's what everybody was.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Saying about Monday nights, and up to that point it
was the biggest game and you're right, that's Targeers game
that comes on Thursday night have massive implications, but it
doesn't matter if you don't beat the cult. So this
is the biggest game to this point.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
And what's really exciting about where the Broncos.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Are at right now is that we go back to
all these previous seasons and it was just get a
winning season, just try and sneak into the playoffs. And now,
I mean, unless they're a colossal meltdown, this team is
in the postseason. Right. Of course, you have to take
care business. You got to win games, and.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
So far this season, I think there is a lot
of scar.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Tissue with Broncos fans and Broncos country, and you know, seeing.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Things happen that you expect the meltdown to happen, and this.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Team doesn't do it.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I thought in the Raiders game, he thought, Okay, I.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Know how this one's ending, right that Monday night game, Okay,
I have a feeling how this one's ending. And this
team has done the opposite and they have found ways
to win. And that's what I think makes this Colts
game really exciting because you have a lot of competence
that this team is going to show up to this game,
prepare that they're not going to overlook it. So they're
not going to be looking ahead to the Chargers game.
(13:42):
They understand the implications of it, and so you feel
like they're going to answer the bell. And so far
this season, this team has given me no reason to
believe that they're not going.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
To answer the bell because they have done it in
so many scenarios that.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
In years past they simply wouldn't have. And that's a
fun place to be. We haven't been there in a
very long time.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Well, speaking of kind of answering the bell, let's talk
a little Nuggets really quickly. When we look at Nikola
yolkis constantly carrying this team. My biggest concern is because
he's doing so much heavy lifting, they're going to burn
him out when they need him the most, He's not
going to be there for them. When we look at
(14:23):
this Nuggets team and where they are performing right now,
do you have high expectations for them as the season
move on or should Nuggets fans start to somewhat Dare
I say lower the expectations?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Well, I think you make a great point, because the
conversation every year is we can't burn out Nikola Jokic,
you know this early in the season.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
This has been the conversation.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Year and and you're out where Michael alone says, I'd
like to pull Jokic, you know, during the fourth quarter more.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
But they just simply haven't run.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Away with enough games. And I mean, one hundred and
four points in twenty four hours is incredible. It is
incredible to watch. It's not what we should be seeing though,
right big picture, he shouldn't have that much task on
him game in and game out. And it's still the
same conversation, guys that we've been having for years, how
are they going to survive and non the cole of
(15:13):
minutes and so at the end of games, you know,
unless it's a runaway, can't have non the colon minutes.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
So it is a concern that once again.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Nicole Jokic is in the game so much.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
He is incredibly durable, but we've seen this sail before.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
So they really have to figure out. And the onus
is on Jamal Murray and it should be. He got
paid a lot of money and he is not performing
the way he should be performing. I would not be
opposed to putting Russell Westbrook in the starting lineup and
making Jamal reyear in those minutes a little bit. I think,
honestly that might do Jamal good. Like that'd be some
fire and we know he gets fired up by competition
(15:49):
like that. But Jamal has to step up. Jamal has
historically been a playoff player, but that just cannot be
the situation right now. Obviously he hasn't played the past
few games, but it is on him to carry a
much bigger load and he needs to. He has to
because you can't put this on Nicolaiocus again or it
is as you said, that he's going to get burnt
(16:10):
out and retired by the end of the season. And
that's not a recipe for success.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
No, it's not. Romy We appreciate the time as always.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
You can get your own CBS for their romy Bean
and again we do appreciate the time as always.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Absolutely take care Roby be we come back. We have
the NFL six pack
