Speaker 4 (01:20):
I can't wait for Petros.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I've got a great question off the top. Do you
mind if I lead off with it?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
What do I care?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Okay, just making sure. I want to make sure we
really peak the mood of Petros today.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I mean, LeVar is supposed to drive the show at
some point this week. You wanted to drive this show?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Do you mean?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, just like take the lead?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
You know, I'm just trying to hold it together right now.
That's that's what I get off him. Man, get off him. Yeah,
we'll help you. I mean, like where that's so random?
Like what does that even mean?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You had mentioned you wanted to do it.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I just figured I actually didn't mention I wanted to
do it. I was just messing with you and saying
that I.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Was, oh, yeah, I think you both should take some turns.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
You know that'll be ten dollars? Are you excited to
go to Columbia? Right? Get back to the.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, big time, be fun.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Did you work in Columbia lest you lived in South Carolina?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
It was Charleston, and we would travel. We went to, uh,
what was the first game we went to South Carolina.
Clemson went back there for a Georgia South Carolina game.
And Columbia's fun. Man, that's ah, it's awesome college town.
And just looking at the pictures of the Graduate Hotel,
it looks awesome and it's you know, based close to
(02:43):
I know, we were looking at the map. The Graduate
in State College is close to the stadium, I think,
right LeVar. It's like not far away.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Nothing is far away in State College. Yeah, everything's close.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, So it's gonna be a lot of fun. And
you know, we're just try and keep the lead to lap,
you know, busy while we're out there.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And then I'll put it this way, all right, I'll
put it this way. I'll tell this story, all right.
So Lou Holtz is the head coach of South Carolina,
and I had grown up a big Notre Dame fan,
and so I'll be just blunt.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I took the visit.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I was curious, want to see I had been to
florida'd visited there. I wanted to see what South Carolina
was like as at SEC school, was going to Tennessee
some of the others, and but I really want to
see Lou Holtz.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So we go on this visit.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
My mom was whether she drove us down to South Carolina,
and we're at this visit and I bring this wide
receiver with me. He was a really talented player in
high school. He actually had a well he had a
hand injury later on in the story. But we go
down there and like the next day, you know, you
go through like an academic visit and you know, visit
(03:50):
the business school, and then the next day.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
You kind of work out. You get a camp that
sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It's like a short like half day, one day camp thing,
and so you know they're they're recruiting me, but they're
they're kind of fruit and the wide receiver and giving
him a look too. So that night we get there,
you know, there are some like SEC type recruiting recruiting
stuff going on, and I'm like, hey, I got to
work out tomorrow. Like I'm not you know, I wasn't
that type of guy. Like I was pretty pretty clean cut,
(04:17):
straight edge type guy, right the Yeah, the my wide
receiver was with me. He was he was all about it.
It was like whatever, whatever he got game scenario they
wanted to play out, he.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Was going to take full advantage of that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Why not.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
And so he gets plastered, and I'm kind of sitting
there like trying to babysit him basically like going to
these college bars as a recruit. And I'm sitting there
like tired, I'm like worried about tomorrow because obviously I
want to impress.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You know, lou Holtz, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And and so finally it gets to the point where
like he can can't even stand up, like I'm carrying
him into the hotel. And so it's like two am
and we get into my mom is ripping into me because.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
She's like, why would you know? Why would you let
him do that?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I get I was like, Mom, I can't control him.
Like at some points, they even know where you was at.
And so long story short, we had to call South
Carolina and we we basically said to them like, hey,
we we can't do this today because I don't want
to put I don't want to put him in.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
A bad spot.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, because I knew like this would obviously hurt him
in his recruiting if this got out, and so we
basically said, hey, we we gotta, we gotta go. We
gotta get up to Tennessee and visit coach former. Sooner
than we thought, plans had changed, and so we went
to see Coach Holtz. But it was really all because
this team that I brought with me was plastered. Like
(05:40):
he could I mean, he couldn't even like the next
morning he'd even go to the meeting with us. He
was so hungover and he slept the entire ride back
up to Knoxville. So, uh, that was my last time
in Columbia, South Carolina and my last memory there. But uh,
I did meet Ryan Brewer, who was an Ohio guy
who torched Ohio State a couple of years in the
row in a row in the Outback Bowl.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So so basically, Lee to Lap is going to play
the role of that wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
That's what I was going to say, is you know,
I'm hoping Lee can avoid the good time that my buddy,
the wide receiver I brought with me had on that
particular trip.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Because we've talked about this on the show before, but
and Brady, you've made mention of this, and we've talked
about the differences between college football out here on the
West Coast as opposed to Midwest or in the South.
That was when I really understood, oh yeah, this is
a different level because the pregaming at a South Carolina game,
especially against Clemson, my god, and the fact that we're
(06:35):
going to be there and it's a tailgate party the
night before graduate hotels lee to Lap's got no shot
to be in sobety.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
He's in trouble. He's in trouble. I'll just leave it
at that.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Good.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Luckily I'll get through the Friday show. But the tailgate
what's the tailgate party starts?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Then it's yeah, bad news bears for me.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Light a lot of first for me.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
This enjoy yourself though.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah all right, So can we talk about a little
content in the NFL because some people were wondering what
Sean McVay and the Rams are doing down ten four
seconds left in the game against the Niners on Sunday
and they elect to kick a field goal and time
expires and that was the final play of the game,
(07:18):
and people were wondering, Okay, well, the betting line in
some places was seven and a half, So could there
be some sort of a gambling aspect to this whole thing.
Did Sean McVay know what was going on? So a
lot of people have brought up the question, a lot
of conspiracy theorists out there. So Sean McVay, the head
coach of the LA Rams, he addressed the discussions about
(07:41):
why his decision was made to kick the field goal
in that spot. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
What we were trying to do is we were trying
to be able to get a completion to where we
kicked a field goal beforehand with the opportunity to be
able to We were trying to if we had hit
that deep end breaking route, it really would have worked
out the way that we wanted to. We were going
to try to kick a field goal once we got
into you know, field goal position and then be able
to kick an onside and try to give ourselves the
real opportunity to win the game.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
By the time it got down to it.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Didn't anticipate that, you know, in cut that we hit
Pooka running that long and just said all right, just
go ahead and kicked the field goal.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
Felt like it was an opportunity to be able to
you know.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Not leave Matthew susceptible to an unnecessary heat to the
end zone and get an opportunity for our field goal operation.
But the initial goal was to try to get it
too for one to where you end up getting into
field goal range a little bit earlier with some of
the play selections that we had, and then ultimately be
able to try to you know, have an on side
kick to then be able to go try to compete
(08:39):
to tie or win the game. But apparently artists told
me there's a lot of people in Vegas pissed off
about that decision.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I clearly was not aware of that stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
So we bind that's been done for too by the
way that's been what that's been done where they were
I was just going to say and try and onside.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
We actually did that in two thousand and nine when
I was with Eric Mangini and he explained the right
chanelle to us, and it makes complete sense.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I mean, look at it this way.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
When you're getting down or you don't have a ton
of time and you're down by nine to you know,
eleven points in this case, the thought process behind it is, look,
you can kick a field goal from only so far
you can heave up a hail mary from seventy yards
from the end zone, right sixty five yards. I mean,
we've seen those sorts of plays, So you got to
(09:25):
get you know, both of those.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
You have to get to touch that in a field goal.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
If you can save time and then get an on
side kick and then give yourself a shot at a
hail mary, that's the best. That's probably that gives you
the best chance of doing it. So the rationale behind
it makes all the sense in the world. I think
the hard thing for me or for some people out
there is when you look at like their operations and
what they were doing, it just it didn't make a
(09:49):
ton of sense in the moment, thinking like, all right,
are they trying to go for the hail mary and
score here or they try to just get get in
a position to kick a field goal quick. It didn't
make quite a lot of sense. But it does make
a lot of sense. He doesn't want to put Matt
Stafford in a position where it's you're not gonna be
able to win the game on one throw.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And that's ultimately what it came down to.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And it's like the decision to kick the field goal
in that final play and you could say, well, why not,
you know, just take a knee in that spot. It's
an opportunity in a real game to get a rep
at a spot like field goal. In that moment, I
didn't look at it. I would love for him to
be gambling on his team's games. I would love for
that to happen. I want nothing more than another scandal
(10:28):
like that to pop up. That's I mean, this is
sports talk radio. That's what we are built on. That's
not the case here, And everyone's trying to make it
seem like, well, he knew what the spread was in
that spot. No, he's just giving his guy that unit
an opportunity to kick in a real game. And as
he laid out, the previous play went a little bit
longer than they thought. And so why you know, put
Matt Stafford out there to take potentially another hit. So
(10:51):
kick the field goal? What's the problem. But everybody wants
a conspiracy theory even when there's not a conspiracy theory there.
He's a degenerate gambler. He's not Iowa I State, for
God's sakes, Come on, give the guy a break. So,
oh my god, there's that with Sean McVay. It is

seventy LA Sports, a Fox college football analyst at the
Old p on Twitter. And apparently the good luck charm
for Fresno State is with us. Yeah, sorr pee, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh? I got Fresno State again against Nevada in like
two weeks?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Right, yeah, yeah, take the over? Have you eve looked
at it yet?
Speaker 9 (12:39):
Hy?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Petros? Can I kick us off.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
By by asking you if you happen to be a
U dubbed football player up there in Washington one of
those teams that's kicking ass right now?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Where is the place? Where's the cool spot to hang out?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Dix is the place where the cool hangout? Yeah, they're
doing a great job. The the Washington TA is actually
really really good this year. And that's what football analysts
say right, they're really good. They heave the ball down
the field and have really gifted play caller and Ryan
(13:16):
Grubb and a great head coach. And they're probably the
best looking team in the conference right now, top to bottom,
at least through September. And there's an old like Sir
mix a Lot, who did Baby Got Back and all
that we all know, But Sir mix a Lot, who's
a Seattle rapper. He had a song called my Posse's
on Broadway. Yeah, do you guys remember that song?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Ya?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
No? Yeah? And that yeah, yeah, that whole thing. And
they did like a thing where they got a bunch
of their like local players and sat them like on
an old like early nineties style car and put him
in front of Dix, which is mentioned in the song.
(14:00):
And uh whoa. I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, I enjoyed you posting on X about it, because
it's not Twitter anymore, it's X.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Dix is the place where the cool hangout and the
j r U ing of Seattle Sir Mixala, Yeah, Washington
looks good. They played cal this week, which will be
their toughest test.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Can I can I? Can I follow up on that
quickly just saying.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh yeah, come on, Pete, Well, there's going to be
a delay if I try to see people forget about
kid Sensation, the teenage lady.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Killer right in front of Dicks.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Can uh can I ask this?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is you Dubbed the greatest threat to USC trying to
win to Pac twelve and get to the playoff this year?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, maybe USC is the greatest threat to you Dub.
I mean I think you dub is pretty damn legit. Now,
last year they did lose to Arizona State, which is
like inexplicable and sort of wreck their season. But they're
pretty damn good. Like if you watch him, he has
all three receivers that have been there for a while, McMillan,
(15:10):
o'doons and Polk And if you look at the numbers
they put up, it's just stupid.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Pennix is second to Kayleb Williams and the heisman odds. Yeah,
he's winging it.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He's really accurate, and the offense is really fun to watch,
and he's down the field accurate and he doesn't run
around as much as Caleb, but he's pretty impressive. Their
whole thing is is great and the coach comes from
a very small place I think it's Sioux Falls or something.
And most of debor most of his assistants were with
(15:42):
him back then, or he picked up along the way,
and he's a pretty impressive coach. We'll see what happens
with Washington, but that's probably the most unreported spectacular story
as far as who looks great on the West Coast
so far this season.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Well, Petro's talking about being reported Colorado. They pull off
another one there at three, you know what happens.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, I'm surprised anybody watched my Fresno State Arizona State
game because Kate turnovers and a shutout, because the most
exciting Rocky Mountain showdown, which I've done too of, and
no one cared that happened. I cared.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
You told me als was the time you have those
Rocky Mountain oysters.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah. I've never never tried one of those, but I
know all about it. I mean, you guys are gonna
live out there until the bubble breaks either next week. Yeah,
very exciting.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
What do you think happens this week? Petro?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I think they'll lose the game. I don't know if
it'll be like fifty to thirty or you know, forty
to twenty one or something like that. But I think
the bubble will burst. I mean, we've all seen Colorado State.
We know the Colorado State football team. They're not that good.
They're a team in transition. Jay Norvell taken over a
(17:04):
roster that was like a running roster, a dazzio kind
of and then he's been changing it. Now they looked
a lot better than they did earlier in the season
when they gave up fifty to Washington, stayed at home,
and then Washington State turned around and upset Wisconsin, though
a lot of people could see that coming, having the
doors locked behind him in a weird place like Pullman
(17:25):
and a team with the chip on their shoulder in
the coog. So, I mean, I think it's been great.
I think the brand of football and kind of what's
been said about it and how it's been covered as
a phenomenon. And look, what you're trying to do in
this business is get people's attention and get ratings, get
(17:48):
people to watch, and that whatever Colorado is or isn't,
through September, they have proven that they can deliver results, victories,
which is what's happened regardless of who they played and
how those seasons are going to play out. They've had victories,
and they've had massive ratings and massive attention. I'm surprised
(18:12):
there's a hotel room and boulder for Brady to sleep.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It a lot of Eiffel towers.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Hey, buddy, there hasn't been. I've been sitting in Denver exactly.
You know, like it's sixty minutes big noon. You know,
the fake PMS show, All of these things are all there.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
What's the fake PMS show?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Pat McAfee, Yeah, oh yeah, I've been My radio show
has been called PMS for like twenty years.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
By the way, there's another there's a fake JKS show
that happens on Saturdays on Fox Sports.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Oh you know what, Joe I had that before. Joel
Klatt give me a break.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh Joel Clatt Show and Jonas Knox Show.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Hey, which side are you on? Petros?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Which Jonas Knox? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I've been betrayed by both men? Way, that is unfair.
How How is Jonas kidding? I'm kidding, but I'm sure
class betrayed you. Well, come on, he's Judas now, the
Colorado's not. I'm joking. Brutus is different than Judas. Although
(19:15):
they're both in the mouth of the Devil at the
Seventh Circle of Hell and Dante's Inferno. Oh, the Seventh
Circle of Hell and Dante's Inferno is actually cold as
opposed to hot. Very creative. But uh yeah, I think
it's been. It's been. It's like, I don't know what
this looks like mid October. I don't think it'll look
(19:37):
the same. It'll be interesting if everybody hangs on every
word of Dion's if they're not undefeated, or every time
he wipes his son's mouth on the sideline, are we
going to freak out? Or every time his son tries
to do like a three stooges ipoke on an opponent.
But uh, I mean Colorado Colorado State, though exciting, was
(19:58):
kind of a bitch made football game. I mean it really.
It was pretty wild, but very entertaining as well. And
I don't I don't think they'll win this week, although
I've been wrong when I said they weren't going to
win before that was just Week one. I thought they'd
beat Colorado State by a lot more. I guess yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I thought the same time pet is joining us here
at I heard you say on Twitter, Yeah, go ahead, Jonah. Well,
I was just going to say your thoughts on some
people on the West coast complaining about the kickoff time
for Colorado USC coming up here in a couple of
weeks because it's going to be on Big New kickoff.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Well, what time is it out there?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Eleven ten ten Mountain time boof.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, nine am local time out here in La.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Man, that's the West coast. They don't like that waking
up early stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Petros No, But you know, I mean, the one thing
I find pretty interesting is like now that the Big
Ten stuff is going to happen next year, I think
Chip Kelly's made a comment and the people up at
Washington are starting to realize, like Chip Kelly said when
the UCLA joined the Big Ten, something like well, at
(21:11):
least we won't have these nighttime kickoffs anymore. It's like,
that's why they put you in the Big ten, so
you can have a seven o'clock kick Pacific time on
the West Coast as a Big ten game, So the
Big ten can play from nine am all the way
to seven o'clock. You're not going to not have nighttime
(21:32):
kickoffs anymore because you're not in the Pac twelve anymore.
The reason they want you is because you have nighttime
kickoffs and they can put TV on all day long,
so that that part of it is kind of funny
to me that people think that that's going away on
the West Coast like double down on The good.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Thing is, though, those will be mostly home games, right
with the exception of in this case, you know what
two other places, right or three?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
USC, Ucla, Oregon or Washington.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, I don't count in UCLA and USC as A.
I mean, it's an away game, but it's it's you're
right in the same spot, you know. You know what
I'm saying, Like if you play up in Washington, yeah,
you gotta travel back after the night game, so it's
a little more detrimental. But I'm saying, you know, if
you're basically playing a home game for the most sport
at night, it's not that bad.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It's good for recruiting, it's goods.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
More nighttime kickoffs. It's or as many nighttime kickoffs, which
I thought, I mean, I only do nighttime kickoffs most
of the time. Like, I don't care. But the point is,
I thought it was funny that people thought that that
wasn't gonna happen anymore. And the specific reason they put
you in the conference is so that could happen right,
just pretty while.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
The point I'm making though, is because you basically outside
of the crosstown rivalry game, you have to fly everywhere.
At least, it's not gonna be as taxing flying back
from like a late night game having to come in.
With the exception of Washington, Oregon, that's really only two
games you're doing that with. Now you're playing a noon
game or a three game. You're at least getting back
(23:01):
at a decent time on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
What if you're new and you got to play at
seven o'clock in freaking Eugene Brady. What about those people?
How they getting back?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Hey, buddy, they're just happy to get seventy five million
a year from the big ten.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Oh geez, well, that's kind of That's kind of part
of it, right, Like it's it's not about the kickoff time,
it's about the exposure when when you have the kickoff time.
A kickoff time on FS one and Fox at seven
o'clock is a lot different than a kickoff time on
the PAC twelve network. It's seven o'clock that no one
can know what people don't even have inside their footprint.
(23:35):
So yes, I understand the point, but it's it is
interesting to see how that's going to play out because
people think they're like going to be freed from the
way things have been, where it's only going to be
more of the same in a lot of ways.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, Petros, your radio partner, Matt money Smith is the
voice of the Bolts.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yes, the Chargers boy, and.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Feels like, and I'm not trying to get any inside
information here, but it does feel like the seed is
getting even warmer. For Brandon Staley. He had a little
bit of a meltdown after the game on and.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
He was sitting down.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
We had him on we because you know, we're required
to have him on and the GM on Mondays and Tuesdays,
it's part of the deal. Yeah, And we had him
on and like the segment's about to come on and
there's one of those sports updates like Eddie does.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, not as good as Eddie though, No, Eddie's great.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Interesting that we still do sports updates when everything's on
the phone. But Eddie makes him very, very palatable. But
we had some sports update and the guy's like, you know,
Brandon Staley on the hot seat, and I'm like, damn,
is he on hold already? No? No, he hadn't called
him yet. You know, I can just imagine the guy's
sitting there all pissed off, and I'm like, oh my god,
(24:46):
he's a hot seat and We're like welcome and welcome in.
Brandon Staley and other loss. What's cracking, coach? How's it going?
You know, it's all the Mountain View Chevrolet Celebrity Online.
Another tough loss. You know, eleven percent of teams only
make the playoffs. What are you not gonna goat? He
was not happy. You know, they pulled themselves out last year,
(25:07):
but people have trouble with some of the scheme they're running.
I guess defensively and overall. I think you know they've
been in the lead in the fourth quarter in both
the games and executing down the stretch. You know, that's
part of winning games anywhere, but especially in the NFL,
is finding a way to win down the stretch because
everybody's really good and pretty comparable.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I mean, important question, Petros, Are you team Staley or
team McVeigh or mcvape, depending on what your preference is.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Do I have to be on anybody's team.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I mean, yeah, why not? You know, this is sports radio.
We pick a side, even if you don't really believe it. Nope,
not picking a side. No, oh, come on.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
No, Pro football in Los Angeles is a mystery to me.
But I deal well with with both teams and have
no issue with anybody. But yeah, you start out zhing
too and you have a talented team with Joey Bosa
all these people on it, then you're gonna have some issues.
People are gonna talk and be upset. At least the
(26:08):
Chargers know how to be in Los Angeles a little
bit better than the Rams do as far as just like,
you know, game operations and not annoying the crap at
everybody in the stadium with a guy screaming about everything,
like welcome out the specialist.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
You know, like Jesus.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
All right, so petres, what game you got this weekend?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I have two games, two games that none of you
guys are interested in.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
That's not true, that's not true. Laid out here?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Can we try and guess what the games are?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I'd rather you not, but why just go ahead and
whatever you want?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Okay? All right, So let's go ahead and try and
guess what the games are you?
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Team or team?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I'm just asking Come on, all right, so air Force
San Jose State?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Correct, all yeah, Friday night air Force? I mean air
Force is undefeated. Troy Calhoun told me over the summer
that they're replacing everybody and that they have nothing, and
that is not the case.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, Jonas My god, dude,
can we get a line on that game?
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Jonas?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Well, I don't have it up yet.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
One won't bring it up because that's the thing is,
we've got the opportunity.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Now. We're not going to ask you for your pickups.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I was going to say, we can.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Get some information as to how you feel about these
two teams going into it.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Maybe that helps out some of our listeners here.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
San Jose State has a dynamic quarterback that we've all
seen play, Chevin Cordero, a Mountain West Offensive Player of
the Year from last year. They've had a rough start there,
one in three they went and lost scheduled though, right, Yeah,
they lost at Toledo last week, and Toledo's got a
really good quarterback named de Kwon Finn. He's a pretty
athletic and nifty guy. So that that is a San
(27:55):
Jose state. They have a really good play caller and
a coach who's making a lot of chicken salad at
a place he's from. And Brent Brennan. I thought Brent
Brennan should have gotten the Arizona job a couple of
years ago when it came up, they gave it to
Jed Fish and then Air Force is I mean reloaded.
(28:15):
They had one of the great white running backs in
the triple option of all time named Brad Roberts the
last few years.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Does he break up towards the top top three? For you?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Where do you put him amongst the the echelon of
white running backs.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
In the option? I put him at number one. I've
never seen anybody run inside like that. Okay, he was unreal,
but he's gone.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Can we take him outside of the option and the
stack him up again?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Slowly? I mean right now.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Christian McCaffrey, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I don't really know. Hard to see somebody, Petros Papadakis, Yeah,
it's hard to see somebody outside of that, you know,
I'm sure he'd be serviceable. Brad Muster, I'm sure right now.
A Muster reference is very strong Tommy Vardell, I mean
touchdown tom Oh yeah, right now. Brad Roberts is probably
killing people with the click of a mouse somewhere, but
(29:11):
he's young man, will send drones around the world and
destroy you.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
By the way, Brady San Jose stay plus.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Three and a half, plus three and a half.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
But they don't have Brad Roberts anymore. They have a
whole crop of new guys.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I'll be taking the points there.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I don't know. It should be it should be a
good game. But Air Force throws the ball a lot
better than they did recently over the last few years.
This quarterback is a better thrower. Zach Larrier. I like him. Yeah,
I don't know. Air Force twenty twenty three was granted
permission to delay his service in order to play in
the National Football League. I don't think he's on a team.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Though, he's not on a practice squad.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
No, what's the.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Second game you're calling, Petros, I'm gonna guess. Is it
UCF Kansas State?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
No? But it is a big twelve game.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Oh Oklahoma State? Oh God, who they playing? Who's Oklahoma
State playing?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Iowa State?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah? What happened to Oklahoma State last week?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
What happened to Iowa State last week? Well, yeah, they
both lost. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Well Oklahoma State, though, I feel like is lost.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
To South Alabama. He's playing three quarterbacks and lining up
in an eye formation, so it's different. Well, I remember
him says, Brian and Chuma Hubbard aren't running through the huddle,
running through the tunnel this year.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, I remember him saying that at the beginning of
the season, and I was thinking to myself, like, that's
pretty you know, that's a stark contrast to what you've
been in the past. But you gotta trust Mike Gundy.
He's been pretty successful throughout his tenure.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
One of the most consistent, it's really one of the
most mind blowing stories of the last twenty years in
college football is Mike Gundy's consistency with two and three
star recruits in still Water, which is all totally it's
an outpost in many ways for the Big twelve that
(31:04):
it's a little bit like Lubbock, though it's closer to
a big city. But what he does there is remarkable.
But they look a lot different than they have. They
had a lot of people leave and then Iowa State,
you know, they was zero zero at halftime at Ohio
and the coach got angry and all that. So we'll
(31:25):
see how it shakes out. But yeah, that's the theme
there is, you know, tough start for both of these teams,
but hope springs eternal as conference play begins.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Get him on Twitter at the oldp Petros fun stuff

kindest souls on this planet. He really is, and I'm

happy two year anniversary, and like the a hole that
(33:32):
I am, I sent him back saying, what are you
talking about? We've only been doing this for a year,
this will be our first anniversary. And Lee did concede
that He's like, yeah, you're right, I'm not sure why
I said.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
That, but it's still very sweetly.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I was not aware today was the first official day
we started the show, but thank you for pointing that out,
and obviously thank you for everything you do, Sam does,
Eddie does, everyone behind the scenes that makes it possible,
and obviously Jonas above everyone else.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Because youre just going to say, screw all them. Let's
get to the main event here. What are we talking about? Yeah, well,
I mean, so September twentieth of twenty twenty one, and
it's twenty twenty three. Why is it only one year?
I mean, it feels like the two year anniversary.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Now it's not. It's one.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
It's like we got married last year on this date,
and then we've now been working together for a year.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Well, no, it was two years ago. Yeah, it was
twenty twenty one, that's sure the show. Yeah, twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Two years?
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Has it been two years?
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Time flies when you're playing grab ass on the radio,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
It's either that or it feels like it's been that long.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Which by the long year, which, by the way, I
think this also marks how many years have you and
I've been together doing this shit, doing radio?
Speaker 4 (34:52):
And I can't figure.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Out seventy long time. So I'm I'm the longest running
teammate you've ever had amongst your profession careers.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Yeah, you've been saying that for years now.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yeah, I just love to run up the score at
this point.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I just appreciate you putting up with me. Yeah, I
am the a hole then if it's been frickin' it
has been two years we've been doing this.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, but you know what, Wow, I mean, feels just
like yesterday.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Why it's time to fly? When you get older?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
What is with that?
Speaker 4 (35:18):

Speaker 8 (35:47):
Let's go to the news desk, No, Brady, quick, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Let's get to a couple of stories really quick. Let's
start off with a banger here. Odell Beckham Junior is
rumored to be hanging out with Kim Kardashian after his
recent split from his his model girlfriend Lauren Would good.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
For obj Man? Yeah, good for him. You know, I
actually know I probably should have just said his full
name and not given the the acronym there. That sounded
a little bit appropriate, But again, you know, Odell Beckham
Junior Kim Kardashian makes all the sense in the world
to me.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Yeah, I mean, is.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
He is Odell Beckham Junior at this point option three
in the passing game?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I think so, I think it's Bateman or excuse me,
Andrews and then any combination of Bateman and Flowers than
probably obj.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, he's over under on catches. Before the year I
saw it was listed at like forty one or forty two.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
We talked about this, Remember, like when he had his
choice to go to teams.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Baltimore was a place where between Lamar you know, running
the football and pass plays, but also some of the
other weapons they have, like it was just gonna be
a crowded room to get targets. Yeah, well, all right,
I got one more quick one.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
How would you feel if you went to a Vietnamese
restaurant in California and uh, they charged you at eighteen
percent service charge for a party of one.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
It's a great business, I mean expense amount of here.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
You know you gotta automatically charge it on top.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Yeah, you gotta look at the fine print like you
never quite cheer when gratuity pops up and you gotta
pay more. Yeah, come on, man, then do some way.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
What a place
