Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Head dude, as we run sun the Earth seas.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
In the rose buds, not the bloom and drollime.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Just does he hate those loves A cute You get
the rest Jump my suite, loving you a cooking off
today's episode with a familiar voice. I've had his music
on the show before. We've got Stevie Wonder singing probably
my favorite song of his as, which is a song
written and performed by the American singer songwriter from his

(00:46):
eighteenth album Songs in the Key of Life, and the
backstory behind the song for me is what makes it
so fascinating. Wonder was injured in a car accident on
August sixth, nineteen seventy three, and considered quitting the music
industry as a result. He briefly relocated to Ghana in
order to help underprivileged children focus on humanitarian efforts and

(01:08):
focus on humanitarian efforts, but eventually he made a U
turn on his musical career. During his time in Ghana,
Wonder gained a new perspective on life, finding a new
love for humanity in the world around him.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
And just think about that.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
I mean, he gets in a car accident and he's thinking,
maybe I'll hang it up. He goes to Ghana. He
likes what he's doing, He's enjoying his time. And then
he says, you know what, I got more music to make.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
I got I got one more in me.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Or I got one more that's what they be saying.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well, I mean he had many more and he went
on a hot street and it took him eighteen times
to to to create his magnum opus, probably the most
widely acclaimed album that he's made. Elton John said he
never goes anywhere without a copy of the album on him. Now,
of course you can have your phone and always have
a copy, but.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Back in the day you had impressive stuff, right, you
had to.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Carry a tape and this he says something about perseverance
eighteen times and he finally made his masterpiece. We've had
about eighteen episodes. Now, I think maybe this is our
eighteenth nineteenth noweenth, yeah, eighteenth or nineteenth. Now, I don't
think this episode. I don't think our eighteenth episode, whether
it was made or it's being made, I don't think
that's gonna be quite as impactful as Stevie Wonder's eighteenth album.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
But boy, are we gonna try.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
And give you guys. Some we're gonna do everything or
we're gonna give you, guys, everything we've got. That's that's
all we do. That's the only reason why we're here
is to entertain you. We're gonna try and make you laugh,
whether you're laughing with us or laughing at us. I
like to I like to make laugh, Yes, sir, that's
the only way to do it. That's all we like
to do. So welcome to another episode of the Studio
three one three podcast. I'm Deuce and as always I'm

(02:44):
joined by my lovely concussed co host.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Co host Dylan sas Sleepy.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Well, well, we'll get into that in just a moment,
but as always, we're coming at you guys from room
three one to three here in Anderson Hall, home to
Narasca's College of Journalism and Mass Communications affectionately known as
the co j M. See with episode eighteen, nineteen thirteen fourteen.
Regardless of what number it is, we're here and we're
back in action, and we got a lot of topics

(03:11):
to dive into. But before we get into that, Dylan,
you've been sidelined from Dome Crew football, which.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Is the top we'll be in.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Sidelined yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
We'll hit on the topic of football specifically later. But
I hear that this was a lacrosse mishap. So what
exactly happened to cancuss? You?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know, the boys were buzzing. We're having a good
time down down in Oklahoma, down and play Baylor in Oklahoma,
went down on a Friday night.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Was this Norman, Oklahoma? Yep, down in Norman, Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
The boys are having a good time, right, you know whatever,
we go on our way. Of course, we got our
game Saturday. We're playing Baylor, just like you know, just
like men do. And about halfway through the game, a
little bit before halftime, sure, we're defensive. Stand you know,
me going crazy on it. It's my job defense. You're
a big body, big body down there, hard hitter. Yeah,

(04:00):
like contact, you know, nothing to be afraid of. Smoke,
all right, No, I mean you only pain is temporary, glorious,
forever type of beat.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
The glory of club lacrosse is club across that goes
beyond the existence of our universe.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
That's exactly what I've been saying. And one of my teammates,
you know, I was playing help defense. If you think
about it, like in basketball, it's playing help defense. I
was the help for sure. Uh one of the guys
makes a dodge Baylor. You know this is no ill,
no ill towards them.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
What happens.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's a La cross play. We have no beef Bailor
and no beef with Baylor. Honestly, the boys were kind
of cool. They kid makes a dodge puts one of
my guys, you know, gets a step on him, winds
up to take his shot. I see it happening, so
I kind of hit the hedge to make sure that
he doesn't dive close. Like you know, in lacrosse, you'd
rather take a twenty yard shot than a five yard shot,

(04:51):
right if you trust your goalie that much that he
can save that twenty yard shot, boom shot it. So
I hit the hedge basically force him and shoot that shot.
Then that shot hit me in the side of the helmet,
right over, right over the ear hole. It was pretty tough.
I don't really remember getting hit, so I hit at
the cookie crumbles. I just kind of remember watching him

(05:12):
wind up, and the next thing I knew, I was
faced down on the ground with my ear hurting, and
uh yeah, he hit me, hit me side of the
helmet pretty much right over my ear. Hit me so hard.
Not only did I can cuss myself, but he ruptured
my ear drum as well.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh that's right, I forgot you ruptured your ear?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, no, it is a good one.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, he popped you pretty good.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
He hit me. The worst part about it, though, is
if I hadn't been there, if I hadn't gotten hit,
the goal was it was the ball was nowhere close
to the goal, like it would have sailed over the goal. Oh,
so got hit for nothing?

Speaker 4 (05:45):
So you put it on the line. Guys are laying
it on the line, and you laid it.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
On the guys are laying it on the line, especially me,
And it didn't matter and it wasn't even Oh it
would have gotten over the goal like it was a
non impactful play. And I was like, oh man, but
you know it, it happens.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Done. Took me out. These things happened. And Dylan is
on the sideline for Dome Crew Flag Football. We won't
see him on the field, but he is always appreciated
in a in a coaching and scouting respect, so he'll
be around and he'll make his impact on the team.
Couldn't do it can't be on the field this season
because he was because he was laying out on the line.

(06:23):
And March Madness. I mean, look, I know we're a
little late here were I.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Mean, we happen to be in April.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
We are in April.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
It ain't March anymore. But this toornament ended about two
weeks ago. Maybe I think two weeks ago, or maybe
was it more like a week or was it two weeks?
I can't even remember remember it was it was a
week or two about It was a week or two
that the tournament ended, and we haven't recorded in a bit,
so we felt it necessary to briefly discuss March Madness.
One shining moment it was. It was one shining moment

(06:53):
for the Florida Gators. They took home the W, they
got it done. Who do they play in the championship?
Was it Houston? I think it was Houston. I'm pretty
what are you talking about in March madus As you
could see, here's the concussion. He's concussed. I believe Florida
beat Houston in the championship game, and it was it

(07:16):
was a close one. All final four games were good.
I watched part of one of the games when I
was in Chicago for a weekend with my girlfriend and
some of my other amigos. I watched part of it
in a bar that we were at, and it was
that Houston Duke game in particular.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
That finish was electric.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Do you know that sucks for me? That was my bracketbuster,
my bracket not true bracketbuster, but yeah, brackets. It threw
what little was little vill instead of My bracket was
left was gone after that one, fair enough, I mean
mine was totally shot. And that game was also kind
of the nail and the coffin for lack of a
better term.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
And really my bracket was busted because it was strange.
I mean, all four number one seed teams made the
final four.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
And I look this up.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
It's only the second time it's happened in the tournament
since seeding began in nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
The other time it was two thousand and eight. I
think maybe.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Bill selfs Kansas Jayhawks won it that year in two
thousand and eight. I'm not positive, but it's the only
the second time in history that all four number one
seeds have made the tournament. So oh yeah, you really
didn't need any ball knowledge to pick a great bracket
this year. I mean, if you just said, you know what,
all these one seeds they look pretty good, send them
all to the final four, then you add a great

(08:34):
bracket on your hands. I mean, even if you didn't
pick the winner necessarily, if you had all four of
the final four teams, you had a great bracket.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Mine was terrible.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I personally lose interest once my bracket gets busted. And
last year it's the bracket I'll never shut up about.
I had three out of the four final four teams, right,
I picked my two championship game. I had the two
teams in the championship game correct, and I had the
winner Yukon correct. So oh oh stop stop, got to stop.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
But I'll never shut up about that.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I was like, I wouldn't either.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
It was like top two thousand in the world. It
was a phenomenal bracket. And I see the I lost interest.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Did you see the women's the women's championship bracket. Some
guy went, uh, sixty five for sixty six, No, sixty
three for sixty four. I guess technically, really yeah, he,
I guess, I say he they. I don't know if
it was actually a guy or not right. But the
loss that he had was like an eight nine upset

(09:31):
was the missed bracket he had, maybe a.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Women's misspoint a perfect women's bracket, then maybe, I mean,
if someone got that close.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Let's look, let's look it up.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Because with the men's brackets, I mean, it only takes
usually usually no brackets make it to the sweet sixteen.
I think a couple of years ago, maybe maybe it
was more like four or five years ago, one bracket
made it to the Sweet sixteen and then eventually got
got screwed up, got busted. But I think all the
brackets well before the Sweet sixteen rolled around. I think
they all got busted before then.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, oh, oh, excuse me, this is what it was.
I guess if you don't count, if you don't count
the like the seed in games. Yeah, the first if
you don't count the seed in games, he went sixty three.
Excuse me, he went fifty consecutive correct picks, or fifty seven.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Excuse me, that's mind blowing.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
The incorrect pick was the third pick of the game,
number eight Utah versus number nine in Okay. And that
there was also one bracket that went fifty seven, and
oh the longest perfect streak in history tournament.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Wow, that's a little bit about March Madness. More recent
sports was The Masters, The Masters, The Masters. I actually
really enjoyed watching the tournament for I'm not going to
act like I watched all four days start to finish
coverage because I didn't.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Because I didn't do that either.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Golf inherently is an extremely boring sport, all right, it is.
You watch a guy swing a club and smack a ball.
But the Masters, with all the the pomp and the circumstance,
and it's Augusta National, they're not fans, they're patrons.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
I think I actually do kind of.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
I enjoy the vibe of the Masters watching watching Augusta National.
How pristine and beautiful courses. And there's it. It's clearly
marketed itself as the the attraction in golf, the tournament
to watch, and being one of the four Majors, obviously
it has that distinction. But I feel like, if I

(11:29):
had an opportunity to attend a major, really, any golf fans.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh dude, I would love. I would love to attend
the Major.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Oh yeah, it would be fantastic. And I feel like,
if you've got that opportunity. I feel like it's not ooh,
which one do I pick? It's all right, which one
is my second choice after the Masters? Like I personally,
I'm choosing the Masters in an instant. If my dad
could play one golf course, I've asked him this question,
if you could play one golf course, like any golf
course ever one time? What is it? And without even

(11:59):
thinking about it Augusta National?

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would you see what TJ Watt posted?

Speaker 3 (12:03):
What a TJ post?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
He? So?

Speaker 2 (12:05):
He So Basically the way that it works is after
you know, Sunday tournament comes, Yes, they do the Sunday tournament, right,
the Sunday tournament, Yeah, Tournament's what they call it. Then
they do the Sunday tournament. Well, there's a pretty much
an elite group of people that go play Augustus on
the Monday following pin holes. Pinholes are still the same,

(12:28):
like an elite group of people gets the tea times
to go play. Yeah, and TJ's it was a twitter
he posted it on Twitter. I don't know exactly what
it was. And so like I think this year they
rated it as a sixty nine. It was a par
sixty nine, right, wasn't that what it was, I believe so.
I think it was a parsix nine or Parse sixty seven,
something like that.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Par was let's look it up. We got these laptops
in front of us. Let's look it up. What par
was seventy seventy?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, that's part. It was a par seventy two. Well,
TJ Want went and played and proceeded to hit Instead
of a part seventy two, he hit a casual par
which just goes, which just goes to show like they
make that they like those pro golfers make that thing
look easy.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Oh, they make it look like they're not even trying,
just like a casual round. That's how it looks.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
But it's obviously it's so hard. It's incredible how hard
it is.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah, the Masters just this past Was it this past
weekend that it finished up? Yes, so was this past
weekend that it finished up. Rory McElroy got the job done.
It looked like he was gonna was close. Yeah, it
looked like he was going to fall apart. Rory McElroy
before this tournament had arguably been the least clutch athlete
in professional sports.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
He has had so many fumbled the bags, he has had.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
So many opportunities to win majors or other tournaments. He's
had opportunities to seal the deal. He's had leads, and
time after time he's fallen part like a cheap green jacket,
folded like a cheap lawn chair, and blown it. But
he rewrote his history. He rewrote his legacy this past
weekend when he went into a playoff against Justin Rose.

(14:12):
Justin Rose a second playoff in the Masters, in the
last in recent memory. So Justin Rose and Rory mclor
went into the playoff and McElroy hit a nice drive
and a beautiful approach shot to within like five or
maybe ten feet, but it was close. Barry's the birdie
putt and he gets the green jacket. He gets the
job done, and he is one of six Grand Slam

(14:35):
winners in golf history. Now he joins Tiger Woods, Jack Nicholas,
Gary Player, Gene Sarazen, and Ben Hogan to become one
of six. It's pretty good company. It's elite company.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Well, and here's the thing that I think is super
interesting about this is the fact that it's never been done.
All in one year or correction, I think there's been
one person.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Who wait, won all for the major, all four.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Of the majors in one year. I Bobby Bobby Jones
won in pre majors era in nineteen thirty in nineteen
and he's the only golfer to win all four majors
in one year. So it's almost been one hundred years
since it's been done. But that's when the majors were
Obviously it was significantly different.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Right, I mean Tiger, and I believe two thousand or
maybe nineteen ninety nine, two thousand he won. I think
he won the Masters, and then he won a PGA
or a British Open, like he won three Tiger Executive Tiger,
I think, well, the.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Tiger, the Tiger Slam is what they call it. He's
completely the same when he won the two thousand in
two thousand and one Masters, one Masters, he won the
two thousand Open Championship, and he held all four majors
at the major titles at the same time, completing the
Tiger Slam. When he then proceeded to win the Masters
the following year in two thousand and one, Tiger Slam

(15:58):
breaking news.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Tiger Woods is a great golfer. But my favorite story,
you know, we'll wrap this up in just a moment
because we got we got plenty of other things to
talk about. My favorite moment of the tournament is seeing
these old timers get out on the course and almost
make the cut. I believe it was Freddy Couples. I
don't know how closely you followed the tournament, but did
you see old man Freddy out there? He was he

(16:19):
was hitting the ball like he was twenty five thirty
years old. He looked great. Freddie Couples almost made the cut.
And then there was that one guy from Germany, Lagger
Lagger Bernard.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, I didn't. I was keeping up with it on
like uh just like the ESPN, like constant updates. I
wasn't that involved. I wasn't that involved with.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
It because Bernard Langer or Langer who he's sixty seven
years old and he almost made the cut. He was
first of all.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Okay, so you guys, if you if you got the
camera right now, you guys can't see it. But this
guy does not look sixty. Oh wait, that's why the.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Photos photographed in two thousand, but.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
The photos to photograph at twoy and nine, to be
very such.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
He looks pretty similar.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Holy smokes, that guy is not sixty nine whatever.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
He isn't good.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
I mean he looks pretty similar, because like I'm seeing
this picture right here of Bernard Langer, and he looks
pretty similar.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Like he's aged very well.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
He's obviously taken very good care of his body, and
you gotta do that if you're gonna want to play
golf at a high level. Amongst all these young guys
who are just starting out in their careers. I mean,
this guy won the Masters in nineteen eighty five and
nineteen ninety three. He won the Masters forty years ago
when he was a young twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight,

(17:37):
you know, depending on when his birthday is whatever. He
won it when he was like when he was twenty
something years old, and he almost made the cut. He
finished at three over after the second day of play,
he finished at three over.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
He almost made the cut.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
And likewise, Freddie Couples sixty five years old, he's got
a green jacket. He won it in nineteen ninety two,
little over thirty years ago, and he finished after day
two at four over. He almost almost made the cut.
I was hoping that Bernard and the Boomers would have
their glory. I was hoping to get some old man

(18:11):
action or as oh you gotta love it. I mean,
everyone can root for him. It's impossible not to. There's
plenty of golfers who I've even seen some people hating
on Rory. A lot of people don't like him because
of you know, he had that one incident where he
was yelling out a spectator for holding out a phone
in front of him, and he's some people say he's kind.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Of a baby or whatever.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I'm not saying that.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Other people are saying it.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
I'm not saying me is not me, but people, you
can't root against guys like these. You can't root against
the old timers. So headlines for the Masters old timers
almost advance and make the cut and redefine expectations while
Rory gets.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
One of the favorite things about you know, the Masters
is yes, sometimes the qualifying numbers end up being like
an odd or when they're doing the qualifying right, ends
up being an eye number of people that make it. Yeah,
so it's the best player that like member of Augusta
National gets to play as like a ghost just so

(19:10):
like everybody is playing, because they play in pairs, just
so everybody gets a pair. He gets to play through
and apparently it's been the same guy for a super
long time or it was the same guy, but like
maybe two or three years ago it changed and it's
some like high executive golf guy, business guy. Excuse me,
who you know plays golf and it's super cool. I

(19:32):
think it's super interesting. And you know, they looked I
looked into it, like in the moment when they were
talking about it, and it was like, yeah, this guy
is like actually beaten professional golfers or like beat out
professional golfers, and it's just like super cool. It's another
way that like I love The Masters, like the same
way that like the Masters televise. The money that they
make on it is enough to cover the production. That's

(19:55):
all it is. They make all of their profit off
of the gift shop. They do have an extremely unique
like branding one hundred percent. It's like exclusive, like that
whole deal. And the fact that there's only four hour,
four minutes per hour of ads right over the coverage
time makes it Yeah, every hour you watch, you only

(20:16):
or every hour you watch you only see four minutes
of ad makes it so much easier to watch. And
it is literally just to televise it, although I will
say I was upset about the limited amount of UH
or televised time that bro or Bryson Dshamboo. I absolutely
love him. I watch him on YouTube. I think he's
the coolest guy.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
We love well.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I just love like, if you ever like listen to
him talk, I just love how everything to him.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Is just math. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Like though like I'm sure the rest of the guys
talk about it, but like they don't want to share
their secrets, but like Bryson talks about it, and he's like, yeah,
like this is literally how I'm doing the math in
my head. Yeah, because he was one semester short of
graduating from UC Berkeley with a physics degree, which.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Is no easy feet No, it's a it's a step
or two above graduating with a business degree at the
University of Nebraska Lincoln. Even though the end on the
side of our helmmelets stands for knowledge, We're We're I'm
a very I'm a somewhat into well, I'm a i'm
a person. He's a moderately intelligent person. My coloring one
on one was tough. Did you know?

Speaker 4 (21:19):
I I called I called Augusta.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
And tried to book at tea time, and someone answered really, yeah,
I saw someone do it online. I thought it was
the funniest thing ever. So I I called them up
and I said, hey, you know, I'm a look at
a book at tea time. Don't see any time better
than Sunday, Master Sunday, and say you know you got well,
you guys got any open times? He goes, sir, this
is a this is a private club. You need to

(21:43):
play by invitation.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
So you signed me one bro.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
So you guys got carts or what's what's the situation?
Looking like that?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Our path or walking? And said the path only at least.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
And he said, sir, you know I can't do that.
I you know, if there's anything else I can help,
great Otherwise, have a great sation. I call him right
now and see if they answer.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
I'm sure they will like why well maybe not. It
might be after hours for them.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Let's see you are busy. No, Daniel, they got you blocked,
they got me.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
Yeah, you think that after that.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
One, they said, Daniel, I don't want to talk to
this guy anymore. All he's doing is scamming.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
You think after the fiasco, Yeah, they probably said, oh,
what's the six five one number? Let's get him out here.
But anyways, all right, that's that's, that's enough golf talk.
The Masters highlights, Rory McElroy completes the Grand Slam, he
wins the playoff and joins Tiger Woods, Jack Nicholas, Gary Player,
Jeans Sarazen and Ben Hogan as a Grand Slam champion.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Now into more local sports, all right, because March.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Madness and the Masters, March Madison Masters, those are those
are kind of ero L mean, you know, like ranking.
But nothing gets more local than the anohing gets more
local than the Dome Crew football and basketball teams. I mean,
Dome Crew is as elite as it comes, and I
mean I mean, I mean, honestly, we.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Should just make a AU team. Don't Crew elite.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
This and we'll go play on circuits everywhere.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
I mean do and Crewe. It's the most important team
that we talk about on this show.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Obviously, it's all of you guys tune in for these.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Little rinkied ink events like March Madness and the Masters.
At Augusta National, it doesn't even come close to four
v four flag football on the Vine Street fields. And
we had a heartbreaking endo our basketball season. We don't
really need to go to in depth into it. It
was the first game of postseason play, and.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
We fought hard.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
At the second half, we were down by like ten
or so points, but then we brought it back and
by the end of the third quarter, because they switched
it to quarters this year, by the end of the
third quarter, we were within two points or maybe even time.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, we were down and we made we were making
a historic comeback. We're playing some really good defense. We
boys were on one.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
We played a great game and within there were about ten,
ten or fifteen seconds left and we were down by
was it two that we were down by or were
we down by three?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
We were I believe we were. I believe we were
down four. We were down four. Trevor Or one of
the twins hits are hits that three? Yeah, that like
barely went in hits the three. We're down one, they
go score, We're down three, down three, right, and so

(24:19):
and that was our final possession, was our final possession.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Jrev got the ball and he took a shot from
way way down down to DP three and I thought
it was going in.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
I got good out the hand.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
I thought we were going to overtime, and it just
barely bounced in and out. But regardless of the loss
that we took, it was one of the best games
I've ever seen the team play because, I mean, the
guys fought hard. I say the guys, because I didn't
even touch the court, which I'm a bad basketball player.
I wouldn't have put me in. I'm not good at basketball.
I am somewhat competent, however at football.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Which don't crew specializes and and I don't know if
I don't know if the people now, but I mean,
don't Cruise started as a football team.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
We're football first, basketball second. Football comes first, and we
got the job done. Most recently in our game, which
was when was our first game? Was that last week?

Speaker 2 (25:07):
It was the second week?

Speaker 4 (25:09):
It was it was last Thursday.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
We played our first game ten pm on the Vine
Street Fields, the primetime slot, yes, sir, and time it
was initially you know, we came out flat, all right,
that's the best face.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, it really did.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
We came out flat.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I mean, which once again, coach coach was coaching.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Coach was coaching, Dylan was on the sidelines, I was in,
I was getting some minutes, and we started out the game.
We put up a touchdown. I think right away we
went back and forth and we lost the coin toss
and the opposing team deferred, so we got the ball,
went out and scored. It was pretty back and forth
for a while, and then I believe at some point

(25:45):
our defense wasn't able to hold like it usually does.
I mean the team that we were playing against, they
had basic athleticism, and just with how four v four
plays stylistically, eventually you're going to get open just by
running around a ton.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Four four happens like this. You can't rush the QB.
QB only has five seconds to throw the ball, so
pretty much what happens is you run like a crosser.
You know, your three guys. One runs a deep post
correct or a you know, a streak something like that,
and then the other two guys are either running like
slower route or a slant or a rout hitch something

(26:20):
where there's like if at that point in time the
deep ball is not open, you check, do you check down?
Get a couple of yards because you get one first down,
you go ten yards first down, and then it's twenty
yards goal. Yes, so you know, you know it's a
pretty easy simple.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah. The games are typically very high scoring defense is
difficult in general, and normally, normally we're able to get
some interceptions. They were throwing a lot of lobbing deep
passes and we could have had four or five intersects
and we just didn't come down with it.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And the problem the problem that happens is we have
too many good guys on the team.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
We have a lot of guys. I'm looking so serious too.
A lot of that was the twins and Trevor like
battling both getty much.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
So the way that we run is we run so
three across and then a high safety to cover that
deep ball, because that's usually what's so potent. You cover
the deep ball with the safety. And they were like
three or four times in which like Brayden and Barrett,
one of the twins and then Trevor would go up
for the ball and they would end up picking it
from each other and then no one could come down

(27:19):
with it. Although I think we did still have two
or three interceptions that.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
We eventually got into.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
We eventually picked off some passes, but at first there
was just a lot of chaos on those jump balls
with the opposing team and a couple of our guys
going up for the ball, interfering with each other, ball
goes dead incomplete. At the end of the first half,
it was twenty four to twenty two. I think we
were up by a couple points, and of course they
start with the ball and they went out and they
scored a touchdown, and the guys just looked pretty deflated.

(27:46):
To be honest, we looked like we were having a
rough game. I mean we were up to that point,
we were having a rough game. Yeah, we looked rather
defeated and losing your first game senior year. This is
our last ride, one last dance. I got one more
in mey, this is our all. We got one like
Bence Carter, I got one more inmy this is this
is the last last dance. And we were down. But

(28:06):
then we went out and put up a touchdown. I
think it was at that point the deep ball to Andrew.
We threw lobbed one up in the end zone to Andrew.
He came down with it, and I believe we converted
on a one or two point try, and we were
up by a handful of points. And then the opposition
finally made a critical mistake on one of their deep
balls that they had been trying. They lobbed it up

(28:26):
and I can't remember who came down with it, but
either Trevor or one of the twins went up and
we finally intercepted a pass. And that was the point
where I knew that we were we were cooking. We
were in business because at halftime, in that hal we
were talking, we said, well.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Pretty one of them they were gonna throw a pick
at some point. The QB wasn't the greatest, no, I mean,
they were throwing up some mallards and we just needed
to talk better to know that, like, hey, we got it,
and that's exactly what was happening. I mean, the boys clicked.
We got it going final score forty six twenty eight
little point eighteen point differential.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Forty six twenty because it was it was after that
interception that we were able to capitalize. I think it
was right after the interception that I had my touchdown
of the end, which was incredibly It was so scuffed
it was probably it was probably the worst touchdown I've
ever had in my life.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
It was like the least athletic.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Thing you'll ever see on an intramural field. I basically ran,
what do you call, like I lined up left of
Trevor and then I ran straight and then went to
the back left corner of the end zone. Is that
like a posters out a flat post? Yeah. I ran
a little post route and as soon as I break left,
I told Trevor before the play. Sometimes I'll tell them
a route that I'm doing. Other times I'll just say
I'm going to end up here, like, look in that direction,

(29:38):
find me. I told him, I'm going to the back
left corner. Just find me. Give me and I run
straight and then just break off left and look back
at Trevor. I I know I'm going to be open.
The guy didn't do a great job of covering me.
And Trevor throws the ball and I was trying to
like judge in the air where it was going to
go and how I needed to kind of adjust myself
and position myself. And I think if I just ran

(30:00):
the route like I should have, it would have been fine,
but I made it worse by like over adjusting, going
too close to the sideline.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
So the ball ended up coming basically right.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
At my back shoulder, right at the shoulder on my
front shoulder rather my left shoulder, which was facing Trevor,
so I kind of try and adjust and it barely
goes by my shoulder and I kind of hold it
in my chest. But then it's bobbling around because I'm
at this point shimmy, yeah, because I'm basically side stepping.
I'm shimmying through the end zone and the ball is bobbling.

(30:33):
But I eventually pinned the ball with my right hand
to my right shoulder and then fall down basically just
tumbling the end zone butt. I maintained possession touchdown. We
scored a two point conversion or maybe just a one
point conversion right after that, and we hit the mercy
rule of eighteen points within two minutes of game time,
so that was game over.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Technically, technically it's nineteen points.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Good, Actually it's nineteen, but you're right it is. It's
nineteen points, seven teen points.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
But I want to tell you what, in a lot
of those games, late night game refs, on one point,
I don't play them.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, no, I don't blame them. And let me tell
you something. They weren't gonna win the game.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
They weren't gonna win the game. There's no like. Comebacks
are so hard, especially when you're getting interceptions like and
four before. Interceptions are pivotal because not only do you
get the ball, you get two points with it. You
get to so then you have interceptions. So then interceptions
are huge because then that play becomes are you go
do on score? You're automatically at eight points, you go
for another two point, ten points. You're doing ten points consistently.

(31:32):
Even if they were to go down score six points,
get the three point play nine points, You're still gonna
continuously beat them out if you're getting those interceptions. It's
just it's super important.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Forcing turnovers is a crucial part of the game, sir.
I mean, look, it's gonna be a big part of
us going forward as we play next third next Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Wednesday, You're supposed to have a game tomorrow, right game
tomorrow got rescheduled because TC is going to be out
of town. Need our QBQ. He's got to be there something.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
I'm really questioning his commitment to this team. I mean,
prioritizing a job interview, prioritizing the job, let me flag
football glory is forever. I mean, the job is temporary.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
In a Hey, you're gonna have the intermeal champion T
shirt for the rest of your life.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're not gonna be able
to work for whichever company the rest of your life. Necessarily,
we're gonna need to have a strict little sit down.
We're going to talk to him and get to where
his priorities are at. But as you were saying, we
got to rescheduled because we didn't have our quarterback.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
So we're playing on. We got the game rescheduled for
the twenty fourth, right ten forty five. Who another prime
time slot.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Another late night game.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
So that's the rescheduled game.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
That's the rescheduled game. And then our next game is
the twenty third, Wednesday, Wednesday, nine to fifteen.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Nine to fifteen.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
So we got we're going back to back.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
I kind of like that. We get one night to
get out there, ball out, get another win. Yeah, and
we're back the Hollway night.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
We will be rusted. Hopefully at that point in time,
I'll be able to play.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
I should be healed and be able to play our
last game. We actually correction for surely. I don't work
on the twenty fourth, so I'll be there on the
twenty fourth for sure.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
In some respect, whether it's coaching or playing.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
You'll be there in some respect.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
But that Wednesday night game, I get off at eight thirty,
so I'll be there.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Great, don't crew.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
We're back, one last shot at glory, one last shot
for an intramural championship. We'll see how it plays out.
Another team hunting a championship is there. You're Lincoln Stars.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Lincoln Stars.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
We clinched the Anderson Cup for the first times in
two thousand and three. I love that applause, like that
Nickel for the boys, that nickelodeon sound e. Fact. We
clinched the Anderson Cup for the first time since O
three and the Anderson Cup that is the trophy awarded
to the team that picks up the most points during
regular season play. The Stars clinched it in their third

(33:51):
to last game, picking up an overtime win against the
Madison Capitals inside Bob Souter Arena. Got it done on
the road, clinch that Anderson up and we had the
trophy presentation the next home game we had against tri City,
which was a super cool thing to be a part of.
The trophy presentation was super Did you get to go
on the ice and I did get to go on
the s I was filming the guys looking at the trophy.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
No one touches the trophy.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
I mean it's bad luck bad you can't touch the
trophy because you got the Anderson Cup that you win
without a doubt, a great accomplishment, a huge car.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Do they get to keep that one or is that
one of those trophies that.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Aerro it cycles around.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
So I think it'll I.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Bet they probably get a smaller one, like a like
a cast one or something.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm sure there's either a smaller cast trophy or like
a plaque of some sort, something something physical to like
keep in the stadium or in the in the employee
office or whatever. I know they hang banners when we
win Anderson or Clark Cups, so oh maybe what they
do so there will be a banner going up at
some point saying Lincoln Stars twenty twenty four to twenty

(34:50):
twenty five Anderson Cup champions with a regular season record
forty four wins, fifteen losses, and three overtime defeats. So
we got it done against Matdis to get the Anderson Cup.
And now we start postseason this weekend. We're either going
to play our first two games on Friday and Saturday

(35:11):
or Saturday and Monday, depending on when the postseason for
the first round of postseason gets stune because we have
a first round by and we are waiting for the
winner of Fargo and Sue City. You can see the
bracket right up there, So Fargo and Sue City, it's
a best of three in that first round. Sue City
crushed Fargo last night seven to nothing. Wow, they destroyed him.

(35:32):
It was it didn't even look like it didn't look
like a regular Youngstown. Youngstown's in Ohio. They're the furthest
East team.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
I can't even think where that's from.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Oh yeah, they're way out and Youngstown they're that number
one in the East. We're the number one in the
West waiting for Sue City Fargo. If Sue City wins tonight,
they win the best out of three and we'll start
on Friday and Saturday. But if Fargo wins tonight, we
will play the winner, whoever it is, on Saturday and Monday.

(36:04):
Because the first first series that we play in it'll
be best it'll be a best of five, first two
games at the icebox home ice advantage, and then it's
a two to two to one format. So the first
two here, the next game will be at the oppositions
stadium wherever they play, whatever team it is, and then
game four, if necessary, will be at that opposition and

(36:26):
game five, if necessary, will be at the icebox. On
home ice. We are guaranteed home ice advantage throughout the postseason.
Whatever happened since we won the Anderson Cup, ever happened
top seed, So whatever happens, we're going to be playing
at home in the postseason home ice advantage. Yeah, not
all games, but we have the advantage. So Lincoln Stars
is going to be very exciting to see how postseason

(36:47):
play shakes out.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
I looked up some information on the Anderson Cup. Basically, now,
the team winning the Anderson Cup, which is awarded to
the us HL regular season champion aka the Lincoln Stars,
do not get to keep it. The Cup being awarded
annually means that the winning team gets to display for
a period of time, but do not get to permanently
keep it. Correct, teams often portray or display I don't

(37:11):
know where that came from. The teams often display banners
or other significant factors to celebrate their achievement.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Right, so we'll throw up a banner, We'll enjoy the
banner again. Yep, you'll enjoy the trophy for the year,
hopefully and hopefully and hopefully we'll secure it for another year.
Hopefully next year will one could hope we'll experience similar success.
But we're not thinking about next year's Anderson right now.
We're thinking about this year's Clark Cup. And your Lincoln
Stars start play on Friday or Saturday, just depends to

(37:41):
begin the journey. To begin the journey for that Clark Cup.
It's a difficult trophy to win. The guys are going
to need to have some grit and dig down deep,
and we're gonna see what this team's really made of
when postseason rolls around. That's your Lincoln Stars playoffs starting
tune And one of the suggestions I got from one
of the lovely listeners of kfan who may be listening

(38:01):
to the show. Maybe not, but I put something up
on k fans Reddit page, which has decent following.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
They said, Deuce, it might be a.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Great idea to take a look at some of Minnesota
sports biggest shortcomings because we obviously we have two world
championships to our name Minnesota professional sports. Two world championships
in the major four sports in the NBA, MLB, NHL,
and NFL.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
We have Big four.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
We got two not Stanley Cups. We have two World
Series championships nineteen eighty seven and nineteen ninety one. Besides that,
we have nothing, even though we have we have a
history of putting together a good team. Yeah, we put
together decent teams most of the time. And no example
that better suits Minnesota sports than the Minnesota Violence. I mean,
like they are by far the most like Minnesotan team

(38:49):
ever because we always we get close, but we can
never get it done. We have like our NFL team,
we're like top five all time in winning percentage. Among
NFL teams, we're like maybe six. And you look at
the list of teams that are like highest on the
list and it's like, oh, the Patriots they got seven
Lombardies or six Lombardis or however many they have. They
have six trophies. The Green Bay Packers have four. I

(39:12):
think the Ravens might be up there. They got two Lombardies.
And who's sitting there with zero Despite all the all
the wins that they put up, The Minnesota Vikings, they
just can't get it done in the big game.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
And while we're not gonna be delving.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
Into a whole season of the Minnesota Vikings or a
whole season of any Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Not a very great season for the Minnesota Lakes.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
No we're not. We're not gonna be diving into an
entire season of the Vikings or any other Minnesota team,
But we're gonna take a look at one of the
games that really illustrates just their propensity to come so
close yet so far. This game, maybe it lives rent
free in the head of many of the Minnesota sports fans.
Maybe it did for a brief period of time, and

(39:53):
you've since moved on with your lives. That is the
healthy thing that I would suggest doing. But maybe for
some of you this is it's it's still lives.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Right, yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
The Vikings traveled to Baltimore to take on the Ravens
on December eighth, I believe it was December eighth, twenty thirteen,
where they played Baltimore at M and T Banks Stadium
or whatever their stadium is called. It was a snow
game time. It was a snow game and honestly kind
of a snoozer. You until the last two minutes up

(40:22):
until the last two minutes. You were probably angry that
you went to this game because it was so boring
up until the last two minutes, which saw I believe
it was five lead changes in the last two minutes,
roughly two minutes, like two minutes, ten seconds second.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
Yeah, yeah, whatever, it is, five lead.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Changes in that time with thirty six points. Yeah, Now,
who came out on top. I'm sure you Viking fans
are painfully aware of who came out on top. But
we're gonna briefly, we're gonna take a look at some
Ley's place because Dylan, I'm not sure if you're familiar
with this game. I'm not you're not, I'm not familiar
with it. Well, we're we're educating you with a little
vikings Lore NFL lower to one of the craziest final

(41:02):
two minutes in NFL history. The craziest final two minutes
in NFL history, according to the NFL Throwback YouTube page.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
But it's fourth and goal.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Joe Flacco and the Ravens are marching here, big guy,
and we got Joe Flacco back to pass looking bam,
he spots Dennis Pitta or Peta like Peter Brett. I'm
not sure how you pronounce it. But where we're watching
the highlights on the I'm the little TV new Hickey.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
We got it.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
You can't if you can't see it.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
But Dennis is playing. He's in his first game since
Super Bowl forty eight. I believe that was the Blackout Bowl.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
There's Daniel. There's no way that could be forty eight.
I'm there's two dashes at the end, which forty seven?
It would be forty.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Seven, super Bowl forty seven, the Blackout Bowl, the Harbor Bowl,
whatever you want to call it. He was in his
first game since then. The hey, he gets it done
right here, runs a nice little route, catches.

Speaker 4 (41:52):
The ball, goes up to goes up fifteen to twelve.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
After a little two point conversion that happens right here,
little pass to Tory Smith Boom caught, touchdown, they're up
fifteen to twelve.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
So now is a Ravens fan, you're thinking, oh, okay.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
We got a little lead. All we need is one
defensive stop and we can end this game fifteen to twelve.
How there, you think it's that simple. It's never that easy.
And this game was far, far far from over. As
we go to the go a little further in the video.
Here just skipped through to the important part. We're gonna
fast forward and we're gonna go to this Toby Gearhart

(42:32):
touchdown run of about what is that forty one yards?

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Forty one yard Toby It just gets a straight break,
breaks to his shoulder down and stiff arm breaks the
tackle as he's getting tackled into the end zone and
he gets one a guy.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
He basically just has to run in a straight line
and break a couple of tackles. Once he gets down
to the fifteen to ten yard line, Ish breaks the tackles, touchdown,
and Toby Gerhart was I mean, if you're a Vikings fan,
you remember.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Total remember that man.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
He was just behind mark Ingram and Heisman voting. He
almost took the Heisman from mark Ingram. One of the
greatest college running backs we've ever seen. He was a
fantastic running back. I mean, if you go right here,
take a look at this. I was looking at his
history earlier. He was the runner up for the O
nine Heisman Trophy. He received twelve seventy six points, second

(43:20):
to mark Ingram, who received thirteen oh four points. The
twenty eight point margin is the closest vote in the
history of the Heisman troll. Wow, that is close. Toby
Gerhart Minnesota Vikings legend. What y'all know about Toby Gerhart?
He won, He got it done right there. So now
is a Vikings van. You're thinking, a miraculous comeback. We
finally stop, we win, We make a stop, we win.

(43:41):
But things are never so simple, especially especially not for
the Vikings. If you were choking for fifty years, you'd
be purple too. Where's my hold on? Where's my the
It's one of the olds in the book. But if
you were choking for fifty years, you'd be purple dyll.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Oh, yeah, it's true.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
So but you think as a Viking fan and maybe
you know what, this is the beginning of a new era,
the dawning of a new era of Mike.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
We're making changes. Were here twenty tens. We're on the up,
let's get it.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
It was a rough season up to this point three
eight and one. They're thinking, maybe we're turning the tide
and we're gonna we're gonna forge our way to a
wild card spot. And you know, you might not be
crazy for thinking that, But of course Jacoby Jones may
he rest in peace.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
We go for we go for the squib burn some
clock and the kick might go very far.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Jacoby Jones only has to He just has to veer
to the left sideline and change direction once and he's gone.
He only had to run at seventy seven yards, which.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Which is not much.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Jacoby Jones is one of the one of the best
kick returners. He had at least one kick return touchdown
in four different seasons. That's what the NFL throwback channel
is telling us. Here and shout out Jacoby Jones. May
he rest in peace. He's one of the greatest return men,
one of the greatest Swiss Army knives and knives in
the history of the National Football League. He had a

(45:00):
legendary game in Super Bowl forty seven, and he had
a brilliant return here just a one year after that
Super Bowl, or maybe it was one year after, maybe
it was the same season. I actually don't know, but
either way, he gets the return and makes the score
twenty two to nineteen in favor of the Baltimore Ravens
with one minute and eleven seconds left, So at this point,

(45:21):
the win probability via Pro Football Reference eighty three percent
Ravens sixteen percent, sixteen point nine percent chance in favor
of your Minnesota Vikings. So again, now Ravens are thinking, surely,
surely that's the dagger.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
This has got to be the dag.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Surely that'll do the trick. Surely there will be no
magical touchdown. Surely Matt Castle of all quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Yeah, Castle isn't gonna make this happen.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Surely he won't lead any late game heroics.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
To take the guid.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Jamal Charles.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
But Jamal Charles to the bottom of the NFL reference page,
the bottom of the tick has why he's staying going on?

Speaker 2 (45:57):
So that's going on. Jamal Charles nineteen rushes, hundred and
fifty one yards, one touchdown. It was truly such a
throw back.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
It was a different error. Jamal Charles, one of the
greatest one.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
My god, that's such a throwback.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
Such a throwback. This whole this whole video is a
crazy throwback because.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
This was I mean, this is also literally a throwback
chair and.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
This and this was showing the beginning of the career
of one of my favorite football players that I watched
when I was a kid, court erro.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Patterson, Cordell Patterson, and.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
He is that man who Matt Castle found on this
checkdown and breaks tackles, uses his evasion skills, which he
demonstrates on kicking punt with barons and brings it back.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
But he had to get slipped up in the snow.
Oh yeah, like that because that also, like if you
watch a lot of these, I mean, like, I guess,
think about it. If you're super cold, you know, you
may not be moving as fast, cutting as hard.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
Your body's not used to You're not you're not cutting,
and you're not as agile as you normally can be.
I mean when I'm outside and look, I've I've played
my fair share of backyard football, pretty serious business.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
But we've played some we've played some Dome Creu games
that have been a little chilly condition.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Yeah, mainly the the seventy seven.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
It's a tail end.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
I mean, you can get cold.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
That game that we played, we played in our championship
game where we won, was raining. All of us are
in long sleeves and pants.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
It was cold. It is cold. It was gnarly. And
when you're cold like that, you can't move around. So
Corneo Patterson here, let's let's rewind it on this juke
where you just exposed to this guy. This guy is
probably thinking he's gonna run in a straight line. No boom,
he goes back.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
You just you just see him here, like puts his
toe into the ground and just.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
Slide and takes a tumble the ground thee with the snow.
It was probably mighty slippery too. Cordero Patterson takes it
for the touchdown. At this point, I'm sure that k Fan,
the voice of Vikings football on KFA and Paul Allen
was freaking out.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
Probably his heart rate was probably going on two hudred beats,
lived up, Live up, Live up. Probably thought, oh.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
My goodness, this is gonna be one of the greatest
victories in Vikings history. We got it done, Cordero Patterson,
the rookie on a seventy nine yard touchdown pass just
a little checkdown on a third and ten where Cordero
made it work.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
He got it done. He's thinking the chunking is over.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
We're gonna move to four eight and one and fight
our way to a wild card spot. Now, what do
you think of the Vikings? What do you think of that?
It's probably what he's thinking. But no way, but Joe Flacco.
I mean Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco was no scrub, he
was no pushover.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
I mean, he's a Super Bowl champion for goodness sake.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
And watch, we got ten seconds left.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
With ten seconds left, he leads the late game heroics.
Here on first and goal with nine seconds to be exact,
he finds, Oh my god, I believe that was Melvin Brown,
Marlin Marlon Brown, Marlon Brown in the back of the
end zone for a little toe tap touchdown.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Yeah, but oh my god, when they played this slowed down,
Oh my god, Joe Flacco's sixteenth career winning game drive.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
His number sixteen.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
So slow, Okay, so we're watching this in slow mo.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
He catches it. What, Oh my god, that left foot
his heel was probably an in sure too away from
that was.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
As a rookie this year too, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
A rookie truly probably. I mean, I maybe Marlon Brown
went on to have a long and prosperous NFL career,
but I haven't heard his name, So that's got to
be the highlight of his pro career. I mean, you
catch the game winner at home as a rookie from
Joe Flacco, who is I think he's a legendary quarterback.
I mean, he won a Super Bowl and he was

(49:25):
a little bit streaky.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
He only played for three years. He played for the
Brown Marlon Brown played for three years, played for three years.
He only played for the Ravens. Ended ended his ended
his career with only seven touchdowns, all which were scored
his rookie season.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
Dang, seven touchdowns all in his rookie year.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
I'm sure he went five hundred yards two hundred and
fifty and one hundred and fifteen, five.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Hundred something, two fifty and one fifty all seven touchdowns
coming in his rookie year.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Seven sure, seven in his rookie I'm sure this was
his favorite. I'm sure there's probably a still image of
him him toe tapping, oh.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
Somewhere in his house. He's got that picture. He might
even have the ball, for all we know, framed, maybe
his uniform or the gloves.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Don't worry. He averaged negative two rushing yard the average.
I lost his season.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
I love his years. I love I love little stats
like that. Because he did catch one two point conversion, though.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
He caught it two point conversion.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
He had a brief career, but it was great, but
I love those little stats where you can say, like,
oh my gosh, this person got negative yards in some
respect on the year, like I had more rushing yards.
I first found a fun stat like this where Lashawan
McCoy Eagles legend he had. Where was it? Where was
it he had? I thought it was Leshawn McCoy. It
must have been some other player where he had. I mean,

(50:46):
he had like negative running rush yards throughout the season.
Who had negative rush yards in an entire NFL season?
Because there was some player who had negative rushing Reggie
Blergie but.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Negative three on twelve carries. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
In the twenty sixteen NFL season, Reggie Bush finished with
negative rushing yards. He ended the season with minus three
rushing yards on twelve carries, making him the first running
back in NFL history to do so. That's on at
least ten carries in a season. So think about it, Dylan,
you had more rushing yards than Reggie Bush did in
I mean, in the twenty sixteen season. You can't. You

(51:22):
can't argue the math. Matt says that the math says
that we played better football than Reggie Bush did. And
that's why I got to confuse because Leshan McCoy finished
off his career with the Bills. I knew it was
a Bills running back who but it was it was
your brother.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Got twelve attempts and I said to you, but you're washed.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
But he got a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
Yeah, he had my.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Five yards had one touchdown.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Yea, his longest his longest carry was five yards and
he and he got a touchdown. Maybe maybe that five
yard carry was the touchdown. I'm gonna piss my pans?
Was he Billy's I've been holding this. I was chilling
it got nothing but worse Nilly sash, Billy sashes, he said,
into the bathroom. But think about it. I mean, I
had zero rush yards in twenty sixteen and he had

(52:06):
negative three. But hey, he's He dated Kim Kardashian while
he was at USC after Matt Lioner, the Heisman winning
USC quarterback, introduced them at the two thousand and seven
s B Awards. So hey, he's doing just fine. Reggie
Bush is doing just fine. I believe did his I'm
not sure if his Heisman trophy got returned to him.
Because he is one of the athletes who's been most controversial.

(52:29):
His legacy has been the most controversial in this in
these NIL times, because his Heisman Trophy was taken away
from him after it was found out that I believe
he had he took some sort of payments that he
really wasn't allowed to receive because these athletes weren't allowed
to get paid. So he got his Heisman taken away

(52:50):
from him. But it's been very controversial the revoking of
that trophy. Since nil has come back, they're saying, well,
now guys are getting millions and millions of dollars year
just for signing some contract. Give Reggie. Give Reggie Bush
the Heisman trophy he so richly deserves that he quite
literally won. It was his rightful trophy, and they took

(53:12):
it away from him. I'm not sure if he got
it back, but we're gonna take a look at Google.
Did Reggie Bush get his highs Minute trophy returned to
him as Dylan Sash joins us after taking the bath
after taking the Little Bathroom Baking And Reggie Bush did
get his two thousand and five Heisman Trophy returned to
him by the Heisman Trust in April twenty twenty four,

(53:35):
after the Trust cited enormous changes in the college football
landscape as the reason for the decision, but.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
We got very sidetracked there.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Bottom line is Marlon Brown, in his brief NFL career,
caught the touchdown pass on Joe Flacco's sixteenth career game
winning drive, which caused the Vikings to lose that game
by a score of twenty nine to twenty six, and
the Vikings would go on to finish I believe fourth
in the North that season, missed the playoffs. Another in
the long line of disappointing I couldn't have said it

(54:05):
better than myself. Well, actually I could have. Well, I mean,
that's not me, that's me hitting a Button's say it.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
But that was actually Daniel and trombone. If you didn't that,
I know, I actually picked time here at college.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
I can actually make that voice, just if I I'm
kind of an alto, so I've got kind of a
deeper voice that can all I can morph it into
big warph. Yeah, I can morp it, and I could
do it on I could do it right here on
the air, but I'm I'm recovering from from a throat ailment,
So yeah, I can't go ahead and do that just now.
But we covered a little bit of everything we got,

(54:39):
you know, the more we got some sort of like
so so sports like we got you know, March Madness
whatever and uh and Masters. But then we came up
with with the important stuff Dome cruise, so you know,
we we got, we got, we got done with the
boring stuff for you guys, and then we hit up
some some Lincoln stars talk and revisited one of the
vikings most tragic. So it's been a good episode. Dially,
