(00:46):
You have made it. You have made it. Football seasons here,
the rest of the stuff, you know, like we'll pretend
like last week didn't happen. I know Florida State want
fans want that to happen. By the way, I got
my rapid radio here. And this thing is so cool.
Breaker one nine, Breaker one nine this year the bandit
come back, right. I love this thing. The thing is
(01:07):
so good. We'll get to our rapid radios reads a
little bit later on the show, but.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I have.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I think there's two people in the media, right now
who in many ways parallel each other, and they're trying
to have the same type of success they've had previously
in this field, which is not necessarily was definitely not
(01:37):
their primary focus coming out of college. Coach Prime is
the Donald Trump of college football and vice versa. Two
gigantic names, honestly, two gigantic names from the nineties, eighties
and nineties who have achieved, Like whatever you want to
(01:58):
say about our former president, and he beat fifteen establisher
Republicans and Hillary Rodham Clinton to win the presidency of
the United States. That was an all time upset. So
he's actually achieved something previously. And we can say whatever
we want about Jackson State and the level of competition.
They were the most dominant team in the HBCU world
(02:20):
and they dramatically change how we view Jackson State like overnight. Now.
Trying to get back to that level for either is
going to be very difficult. And I think both are
similar in that, whether you like or dislike for whatever reason,
you can't turn it off. You know you're still watching.
(02:43):
And then they both have this kind of ingenious way
of making any legitimate negative discussion into being about you
being negative and not about the actual discussion, right, It's
like it's it's diabolical and brilliant that you know, Trump
(03:05):
can talk about all these things. It's like you help
lead a riot on the Capitol after you lost the
last election. The same thing for Dion, like, hey, we're
asking you tough questions. You you said you wouldn't be
hard to find, and now you don't want us to
(03:25):
find you. You were the most flamboyant and talked about
college football coach in the country last year and you
won four games, Like people weren't rooting for you to
win four games. Now we get to a place to
where you get fatigue and you get worn down, and
the act kind of feels like I've seen this before.
(03:47):
I know how it ends, and I think you're getting
some of that with Donald Trump. I think you're getting
a lot of that with coach Prime. So here's the question,
not a political question. Colorado kicks out their football season.
They're taking on North Dakota State really really well regarded
one double A team or whether they come FCS team,
(04:11):
And I'm just wondering, like, if I did an honest ratio,
I think most of us will watch one. You know
you have two players at Colorado who are two of
at least are perceived super elite players in the college game.
You'll watched last year even when they weren't good, but
especially when they were winning early and you were surprised surprised.
(04:31):
I think this year's team will be better than last year.
But this year's schedule, especially pre dating when they get
to the Big Twelve. You know, Colorado State on the
road and Nebraska on the road, as well as North
Dakota State at home, those are hard, hard games. Are
you watching to see Colorado win because you want to
be one of those? Hey, all these people are against
(04:54):
coach Prime. I'm with them sort of guys. Or do
you want to see them lose? I don't think there's
anything in the middle. Sandwich is it for you? Do
you want to see him winner? Do you want to
see him lose? Well?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I forgot about this fact. North Dakota State is coached
by former IOWA assistant Tim Poulasek, and so I definitely
want to see him pull off the upset in Boulder
over the by excuse me, over the Buffalo Bison.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Over the Buffalo Bison, over the buffalo.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Got a couple of trampling mascots for this game we do.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Is there a difference between a bison and a buffalo?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
There is. I couldn't tell you the minuscule anology differences,
but they are basically the same beast. They are, but
they might have slight differences.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
All right, Jay stew are you rooting for? Do you
want coach Prime to win or lose?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Bison and buffalo are both large horned ox like animals
in the bevide family, but there are several differences between them.
Bison have humps, a large hump. Buffalo did not.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No humps for the for the.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
So there it is, lots of humps. All right, learn
something today. So here's here's my take on tonight. Dion
would have us believe, or he said this in the past,
that the reason why his program is disliked is because
we don't like brash, colorful, uh in your face black men. Right.
(06:25):
He has said that. No, No, it's not that. It's
how you coach your kids to play. I don't think
it's good sportsmanship. It's easy to hate they they they
go overboard with rubbing it in and taunting. That was
the problem last year. Had nothing happened Nike.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What did Nike do about Nike? Miike has made Shadeur
a centerpiece for their ad campaign. Okay, Meanwhile, the picture
of Shador is him holding up a watch which is
not Nike watch. And oh yeah, by the way, it's
douchebag material, That's what it is. Who does that? It
just is sorry, everybody thinks it. And and you know
(07:03):
he may have gotten money from his nil. All that
stuff is because of his dad's name. Like, what are
we doing? You know, what are we doing? It's like
the kids showing up with brand new Jordan's to the
second day of sixth grade, acting like you know, I
made all this money, Like it's your dad's money. What
are you doing? Stop it anyway? Sorry, go ahead chasing.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
So that was the reason why I drooted against them
last year, and I'm going to root against him this year.
It's because of the way they play. I think I
asked you or I told you usher he's going to
get one of his players killed on the on the
on the field. What was it the Colorado State game
where there was like an extra hit after the whistle
or something that kind of of s talking by teams.
(07:55):
You're dealing with kids with a lot of pride, and
when you shove it in their face like he does,
like he co, I think he's going to get one
of his players really hurt, including his son. So anyways,
for all these reasons, I'm tuned.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
In to watch, But you want to see him lose?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Absolutely? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I think that's the general I think most people think
that I just do. I just do. And I again,
I totally understand if you're like, well, you know, he's
a success story. He's been successful. He's got us talking
about Colorado, caring about Colorado football. But you want all
(08:36):
that attention, you want all that smoke, you get it,
you got to own it. And tonight, I would say
eighty percent of the football world who's watching wants them
to lose, you know, because you're losing in North Dakota State.
That would be a little bit of come up and
what are you thinking about? Do you want to see
(08:57):
Dion win or see Dion lose? At Gottlieb showed Twitter
at Gottlieb Show Instagram.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Doug gollib show rolls on Fox Sports Radio. So the
Patriots have decided to go with Jacoby Brissett. We'll be
joined by Sean Alexander, former MVP of the NFL, going
back to his days of Seattle Seahawks. He'll join us
at half past the hour. We've talked about this a lot.
I mean, look, it's a team in New England that
we're not going to talk a lot about because they're
not very good. But they did draft a highly toouted
(09:36):
quarterback and they did bring back Jacoby Brissett, who was
the third stream quarterback for them. He started in previous
years at Cleveland and other places as well. Here's Rod
Mayo there, new head coach, announcing his decision to start
the veteran Jacoby Brissett ahead of the rookie Drake may
(10:01):
We'll get to that in one second. Look my read
on it is pretty simple. I just I just think
that in reality, Okay, in reality, you have a guy
in a Jacoby Brissett who you can take in, take out.
(10:21):
Everything has happened to him in this game. Whereas you know,
and I think Jason describes so many gen Zers as fragile.
I think young people can be fragile. They haven't seen
the tough times the way that older people have. And
when you're a rookie quarterback coming into this league, whether
you're fragile, whether you just lack the self esteem of
having done it before, it's a real thing. Here's Mayo
(10:45):
on his decision.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
We have decided, or I have decided, that Jacoby Brissett
will be our starting quarterback this season. Now I'm saying
that as an organization, we're one hundred percent behind Jacoby.
There is no you know, you got a guy right here,
you got a guy right there. We're one hundred percent
behind your COVID. I had an opportunity to talk to Drake,
I had an opportunity to talk to Jacoby separately and
also together, and I feel like we're all on the
(11:07):
same page from an organizational perspective.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, so we're on the same page. It's going to
be your time. It's just not right now. There's no race.
We're not in a rush. You know, it's a really
hard thing to do too, as a young player, as
a young coach. Whatever, you have a new, bright, shiny object,
you have a quarterback you want to put him out there,
but you got to balance it, take a breath with it,
(11:32):
and go like, what's the difference. You know, I don't
think there's huge expectations of this Patriots team anyway. Like
nobody's sitting there going like super Bowl or bust. So
take your time with it. Make sure he's ready. Have
him watched. Jakoby Brissette, who's a pros pro. Haven't watch
him prep, haven't watched See what goes right, see what
(11:54):
goes wrong? You know, until you've most guys have never
seen an NFL game exit very different than the base
of the college game. No matter how much you get
guys ready with preseason games, we know it's not the same.
We just do. Let me s Doug Gottlieb show here
on Fox Sports Radio, and you may remember him as
(12:15):
the NFL's MVP in two thousand and five. Of course,
he led the Seahawks to Super Bowl forty. He was
a three time Pro Bowler, played nine years in the NFL,
but of course an absolute start during his college football
days as well. He's one only Sean Alexander kind of
have to spend some time with U year on the
Doug Gottlieb show, and Sean, what tell me how it
(12:36):
came to be that you're the biggest advocate here for
this Freshman the Year award.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
You know, it was a wild story. Of course. You know,
I've had great relationships with many of the writers from
sports and about seven years ago they asked me what
I helped. They're like, man, we want you to be
a part of college football in some kind of way.
You want to help us pick out the freshman All
American team and doing some of the voting for some
(13:02):
of the players and and uh and so I said, yeah, sure,
I'll do that. And you know, it was really great
and uh and and it's a lot of fun. And
then after the year ended, they said, yeah, we're thinking
about naming the Freshman Player of the Year after somebody.
We want somebody who's you know, had a great college career,
great pro career. It's not a sinker, you know what
I mean. He's young enough that kids can remember him,
(13:25):
and also at the same time, he's old enough where
he could handle this position. But he's alive. And I
was like, oh, let me think about that. So uh
they called me up like the next day. It was like, Sean,
we actually were joking, it's it's you. We want you
to be the the award recipient of the Shawn Alexander
Freshman Player of the Year. And I was like, wow, okay,
and so uh so yeah, so they they picked me
(13:47):
and and we went on and we we picked the
Freshman All American Team that year, and then the and
the and the player of the Year was our first
one was the was Trevor Lawrence, you know now quarterback
with the Jacksonvilleah whar. He's a little freshman at Clemson
and they beat Alabama in the National championship game, and
he was number one. Kenneth Gainswell was the second. Will
Anderson Bama defensive end was the number the third, Tick
(14:10):
and and then forth was brock Ours. Fifth was Drake May,
and then six is Caleb Downs. And so we've had
six winners, all great freshmen we looked up and these
guys have all become the ones who are in the
pros now have become pros. And a couple of Trevor's
number one overall, but we've had two number three overalls,
Drake May and Will Anderson. We've already had Kennem Gainswell
(14:34):
for the Eagles. He already sit in the Super Bowl.
So our guys were picking them at these little nineteen
year olds and and they're blockoming quickly in the pros.
And so that's some dispecial that we wanted to do,
was pick out a great freshman but also see the
future of college football. We call him the Prince of
college football. And where we've been picking right, it's been
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Shout out Exander joining us on the Doug Gotleig Show
here on Fox Sports Radio. What do you remember about
you your freshman year when you were in college?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, my big my biggest game was the LSU game. Uh.
You know it was still Alabama's best single singles a
single game, rushing games and uh, and what I remember
about it is is we have all this talent on
Alabama's team. You got all these guys you know all
state Tennessee, you know a year older than me, all
(15:23):
State Alabama that you know, two years older me. You
got all these world class athletes and and our two,
our starter in the back of both got hurt right
before the game, and uh and they sumed me in
the game in the first quarter, had one carry, one touchdown,
seventeen yards, against LSU. You know, still bam LSU eight
(15:45):
verse nine or something like that, you know, and and
uh they put me in the second half and and
broke two seventy yarders and next thing, you know, it's
two hundred and ninety one yards on twenty carries and
four touchdowns. And and I just remember playing against bat
Rus at night as a freshman and putting your putting
your mark on a team. It's just special. And so
(16:08):
those are the moments I remember as a freshman, you know,
just those big games in the SEC and be able
to go in there and play, you know, all during
the you know, two weeks later Florida Gators and the
SEC championship and we lost and they end up winning
national championship and kind of knowing how close we are,
you know, your freshman year gets to teach you a
lot about the fight inside you and also whether you
can actually go get the thing done. And it was
(16:30):
it was really special for me.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Sean Alexander joining us on the Doug Gallic Show. Yeah.
Interesting it would we don't know this, but would have
been interesting to see if you would have transferred after
you know, your first year. We got to start because
of injuries. Second year didn't play nearly as much. Would
you even made it to years three and four if
it was twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Four, Yeah, you know what, I think I would have,
because I'm one of those if I pick you, I
pick you, and we're gonna ride or die, you know.
And it was never like, ooh, you're not going to play.
It was you know, you freshmen, We've got two juniors.
Then they're both pretty good, and then they're sophomore. My
(17:06):
sophomore year they were seniors, and I was one of
those guys that I thought I was the best. But
I also wasn't arrogant enough to feel like they don't
deserve to at least have a shot to go do
it now. I always said them. I told him to
say that. I that I've always told everybody, if you
give me a chance, though you might not get it back.
(17:26):
But but but to take it from somebody without being
on the field, I didn't think that was the right
thing to do.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
What about as a pro, how long did it take
to when you felt really comfortable as an NFL running back?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
You know, I was about Ricky Waters and you know
it's ten thousand yards seventy eight touchdowns. You know, he
was that guy, and so you know my you know,
I would come into spotty like that my rookie year,
and then he got hurt like a third game of
our second of my second season, and that was you know,
you know, thirteen hundred you know, twenty or fifteen sixteen
(18:03):
touchdowns and then the place was mine. And so it
was once again, it was the same thing. Like I
believe that if you've got a superstar in front of you,
you're respecting, you know, you honoring, because one day of
the shift and you'll be the guy. But if you
get the chance, you leave a mark. And you know,
my first two starts when Ricky got hurt was you know,
(18:27):
was like one seventy and one and two and one
and two touchdowns. You know, so but you know, you
blink your eyes at three hundred dards and three touchdowns
in two games, and so everybody can kind of see.
But that's that's kind of what I believe. I believe
in busting your tail and getting yourself ready to go
and be that guy, but also having enough humility and
patience and grind to to wait it out. But when
(18:50):
it's your term, take it over. And I think that's
why I like the Freshman Player of the Year award,
you know, like I get to go tell those stories
and being like, hey, you're the guy, we all see
it in you, but also have a little humility and
a lot in a strong, strong skin and a strong
work ethic and watch what happens and uh, it becomes
that fun.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
How can we get more information about the award?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Well, you know, uh, you know, of course all these
social media is you got, you know, Instagram and Twitter,
and then we're part of the Maxwell Football Club family
of awards and uh and sore where you can go
to Maxwell dot com or you can go just to
my award to self Sean Alexander dot com and and
and hear about it. But uh, it's been a lot
(19:35):
of fun growing these relationships with these guys and watching
them become men and and uh and uh what's really
cool is is we've kind of layered it, you know,
so just like the watch list, you get to see
the Alexander Hot thirty seven and and I start the
relationships with those guys then and around first of November
we come up with the Fab fourteen. That's the fourteenth
(19:55):
semi finalists. December December one, right before that championship game,
we usually list out our top five finalists and then
I'll usually call the winner on Christmas Day and I
give him a Merry Christmas. And you're the freshman player
player of the year. You're the baddest freshman in the country.
Now go win your bowl games. And it's always a
(20:16):
sweet moment where force the winners with that. And you know,
it's been about three of them have been able to
play in the playoffs or the National Championship game afterwards,
so it's been really cool to watch that.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Also, it should be a lot of fun. Sean, You're
an awesome embassador, not just for this but for all
the football. We really appreciate joining us on Foxford Tridio.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Hey, thank you, brother, have a good one.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
All right, that's our pleasure. That's Shawn Alexander joining us
in the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. I
did want to bring Monseiu into this conversation of one
we had yesterday, so we were trying to figure out
why people were freaking out about shohe Tani's bobblehead night.
Now he did, of course play well because you show
(21:01):
hey Otani apparently there was like there were gold bobbleheads,
Is that right?
Speaker 8 (21:06):
There was.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
It was like a golden ticket and you didn't know
whether you got it until you opened the box.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
So the last couple of years there has been like
a specialty bobblehead.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
You know.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
A couple of years ago we had a Cody Bellinger bobblehead,
and very few of them.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
He had the.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Gray Away uniform.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
That bobblehead was in a window, meaning they handed to
you and you could tell right away is it a
white uniform or is it a gray uniform. This was
a couple of years ago, and people went crazy for
Cody Bellinger in a gray Away uniform jersey.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
However you want to look at it.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
So this time we were expecting it to be a
little bit wild as well. The first round of Otani
bobbleheads also had a special different look, but they didn't
announce it. This one was announced a little bit ahead
of time, and it was an all gold bobble head.
But there's no window on the box. So you walked
in they handed you a bobblehead, and then you walked in,
you had to open it. You had to take it
out to see if you got the golden bobblehead, the
(22:02):
golden ticket and brilliant.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
It was actually kind of fun.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
We started with tours, so the tour guests were the
first ones to come in and get their babble heads.
And the way I would find out as if they
got it, is because I was away, like in center field,
and I could hear someone cheering, and I was like, oh,
they got a gold one because they're cheering.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
There's they're all clapping and cheering, and uh.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
We also found out that the box on the outside
there's a picture of show Hey, and there's like a
moon and Saturn, and on the moon there's a little pawprint.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
And that's how you knew it was a golden babble.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yes, I like that. I like that.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Yeah, but we obviously didn't know that until you know,
after the facts. So if you look closely, there is
a little pap print. So no, my bobble box does
not have a pawprint.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Okay, it didn't even open mind. So here's the question,
Jay stew Uh, percentage of Dodger fans who went to
the game last night knowing there was a potential golden
babble head majority.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Yeah, most people did they announce it beforehand, so I
think that's what explains the massive traffic jam to get
in and people camping out or getting there really early.
The question I have for everybody here is how much
was the what are those golden things going forward?
Speaker 8 (23:18):
A lot?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Like?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Are we talking about fifteen five figures?
Speaker 8 (23:22):
I'll tell you right now because yesterday they were?
Speaker 5 (23:26):
And is that was that the cause that one makes
sense to go there at eight in the morning and
just camp all day because you could turn zero dollars
into fifteen thousand. That makes that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Like right now, just the first couple of listings on
eBay two thousand plus eighteen hundred thirty one.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Hundred, I saw one for seventeen thousand. Maybe that was like,
I don't even know.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
This one is seventeen thousande it right.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Now asking price? Does they're going to get to seventeen thousand.
But let's just say that these golden bobble heads are
going in the thousands, and then the colored ones are
going from like hundreds. Yeah, yeah, and I'd love to
have one of just even the colored ones that are cool.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Yeah, no, no, they are cool.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
And obviously has his dog decoy but it was like
this the first time around with the first Bobblehead, and
this time around it was a little.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Bit you know, more intense.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
People thought it was like Black Friday and that they
could camp out, and I don't know what they try
to start camping out at like seven am, but they
were shoot away. They were like, you can't get in
line at seven am, what are you doing?
Speaker 8 (24:29):
And then the line.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Really started around ten thirty am outside the gates, like
there was I don't know where people left their cars.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
I don't know where they parked.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
It was a madness.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Was it was mad.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
It was crazy. I saw a video footage of this.
People lined up like it was a like a Taylor
Swift concert or honestly, like in line to watch Camp Clark. Yeah, exactly.
It was crazy. And I think Japanese fans flew in
for this game, Oh absolutely, because they interviewed people in
line and they're like, yeah, we came in for this game.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
And that's why these are going for so much money
is because he is an international star.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
That we were aware he's internationalist.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
We were aware, but you know, Americans buying this is
what I'm saying, right.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Which is which is kind of the secret to the
California housing market, which people don't understand, right, They're like,
how can anybody afford like you have? You know, Asian
business people they come in, they smartly buy up with
cash and everything. And Persian business people buying up all
of Newport Coast. That's what kind of drives up with
those values. But man, to come in for one baseball
game seems like a lot.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Yeah, no, guys.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
There were people who sorry, there was like a one
one family who took a Japanese tour at ten thirty am,
they took an English tour at one pm, and then
they took the pregame tour at three point thirty.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I can barely make it through like half a tour.
My add that creeps up. I get through a tour like,
oh my gosh, I don't care, like, oh this is
from nineteen sixties, Like don't care. Might be this may
be incredible information, but you got past fifteen minutes. I'm out.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I know.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
They're all a day.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
People were trying to stay in the stadium because they
kept you. They're like, you have to exit to get
back in line. And I was like, listen, if you
want to hide in a Bush.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
You can try it. Try all means. I'm not going
to stop you.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
I'm just telling you, I've never seen security work as
hard as they've been working today.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Well, we'll see what was like. Looking back, I'm pretty
sure that was like a fire hazard, a violation of
something looking back. Can't the Dodgers just have as many
bobbleheads as there are seats in the stadium.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah, but it's a supply and demand thing.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
It is a supply actually this time.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Usually the Dodgers, by the way, are the ones that
give the most giveaways. We usually do forty thousand giveaways
for any giveaway out of how many seats.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
It's like, is it fifty five thousand dollars?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Fifty six thousand is a capacity, but that includes the
player of security workers.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
There's not fifty five thousand seats. There's probably about fifty thousand,
fifty seats.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
We're talking like eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Why why to only eighty percent get the giveaway?
Speaker 9 (26:57):
Well, this time, Doug, they actually had fifty thousand giveaways.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
They didn't they update.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
They didn't.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Everyone should have got one. They did not.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
That was not public information. That wasn't told. They did
up it ten thousand more this time.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
So they kind of.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Somewhere there's a George stands up there, who's Who's who.
He's very much in charge of this. He's like, what
if we give away just forty thousand this time and
saved some money. No, let's do fifty thousan.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
They're already spending a lot of money on show. Hayes
contract Like there it's it was a wise investment. I mean,
I can't even tell you like the valuation of all
of this show hey Mania. I mean, they're they're gonna
get their money money's worth.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Last night, like literally last night would be one of
those nights where you would hear Joe Davis or whoever say,
I mean, if you went into a Hollywood script pitch meeting,
they kick out of the room.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You hate this, You hate that.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Because decoy his dog is on the bubblehead correct decoy
throughout the first.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
Pitch throughout with he ran it to him the first.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Pitch, sho steps up first, first about and it's a
home run.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
It's ridiculous. And by the way, they had been practicing
this with decoy. He had been out there for like
two weeks.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Like the tours were high five, right, Yeah, like they
were training.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
They were they they didn't do it, you know, they
did it a couple of times, and it was fun
to see him doing that.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Like the first time. The tours were like, what is
he doing?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Oh, he's practicing with decoy and got to see that
lot lots of tour guests got to see it.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Yeah, because he had a practice and then one of
the times he used the restroom on the field.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
How do you how do you know all this about tours?
Do you give away tours? Have you been on a
bunch of these tours? You seem to doing a lot. Hey,
you give the tours?
Speaker 9 (28:45):
I mean I haven't, and I now am e lead
so I now run the operations day to day, but
I gave tours for many years. I would keep you
more entertained than fifteen minutes, Doug.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Really, he's an ambassador of Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, I had no idea. I love Dodger Stadium, but
I that tour I'd want like a personalized tour. I'm
a snob like that. There's a group of people like, say, coach,
here's a group people like na Na.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Yeah, No, I definitely have your attention for more than
fifteen minutes. Not with boring stuff. Not that you're boring,
I just I know what you mean about the historical stuff.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Sometimes it's boring.
Speaker 9 (29:20):
Yeah, and especially yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
This is where Sandy Kofax spit out his gum and
then the gum's been put into a case.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
And that's especially yes, especially if you do it in
like a nineteen twenties baseball This hair is where Sandy
Kofak spit out his gum the day before the Sabbath
that he took off because it was roche hush on.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Not.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
That's pretty good, that's really good.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It's The Doug Gottlieb Show. Welcome out to the School
of Kiddos. You know it's funny. I thought I had
a great pep talk for my son with high school.
And he's enjoying high school, by the way, but you
guys can appreciate this. He just doesn't like. She's like, Dad,
I just I hate school, and I was like, well,
(30:15):
high school is better than middle school. He's like, how
do you know you haven't gone to this high school.
I was like, Hayes, have you ever heard anyone go like,
you know, and I remember I miss middle school? Like
middle school sucks for everybody. High school varying levels of enjoyment.
Some people really like high school, some people are ready
to be over. But generally nobody goes back on middle
(30:36):
school and says that's the best. People will go back
on high school and say that was the best. I
don't know what you guys thought of that motivation.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, I think in like we call it junior high
in Midwest, you know, seventh and eighth grade for us,
sometimes it's six sixth threth grade, which is you know,
middle school. But it's weird, you know, you're kind of
going through puberty. It's a bigger environment. Like I went
from an elementary school to a school with you know,
eight hundred student and so it's it's a little bit
crazy and traumatic. And so yeah, I think high school
you you're a little bit more in your own character
(31:06):
and personality.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
No question. Let's speaking of character and personality, Let's get
to Moncy Bolanos, who's got great character, she's got a
great personality. She'll get to our game.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
This is game time on The Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Coach, it is Thursday, so we are playing.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
If I feel a draft.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
And we got a fun one.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
We are going to be drafting our favorite college football
mascots and this is gonna be the order snake order.
Speaker 8 (31:45):
But we're gonna start with you, Doug, you coach.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
Then it's gonna go to Sam, then Me, then Jason,
and we'll snake it around Jason, Me, Sam, and ending
with you Doug.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So start favorite mascot. Hold on, does that mean a
person has to dress as this? Scott? What is the
what is it? I need an actual ruling on the
mascot because like, is is Ralphie the Buffalo the mascot
of the Buffalo?
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
And you couldn't say like Michigan because they don't even
have a mascot. They're the Wolverines, but they don't have
something a guy in a suit or an animal walking
around during the games. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Yeah, so just an actual mascot, yes, that we can see.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Start us off, Coach.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Well, I mean, I'm an Oklahoma State of lum plus
in the Big Twelve. We'd like our mascots heavily armed.
It's actually based upon a historical figure. So I'm gonna
go pistol pete final answer.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
Right, Pete, pistol Pete. Off the board, Samuel.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
I'm not gonna go straight to uh the Iowa camp.
I'm gonna go with one that I've always loved, Auto
the Orange from Syracuse. I love just the idea of
like a dancing piece of fruit, you know, like a
dancing piece of fruit. You know, he's he or she
is is spherical and lovable and jovial. Otto the Orange,
(33:08):
Syracuse Orange.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Love it is it that universally known as like a
real corny mascot, Doug the Orange appear on ESPN commercial
cool little hat, yeah, ironic.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Way, Well, it used to be the Orange Men. Now
they're just the Orange. So I don't know how Auto's
role has evolved. But no, I mean just like Syracuse Mafia,
everybody from Syrius, everbody goes the Syracuse gets a job
and broadcast. That's standard that it works.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I've appeased many people with that pic.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Okay, all right, all right, in my turn right it's me. Okay,
So I don't have a lot of college fandom because
I just I went to Calsta Fullerton. We didn't have
football anyway, So the one I'm gonna big is one
that when I saw it, I was like, I love it,
and it's more of the like logo.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
They do have a mascot.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
He's gonna be like, what the Arkansas Pine Bluff mascot
the lion that the main spell out the letters on
their logo that is in the main looks like it's
on fire and it spells out Arkansas Pine Bluff.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
It's so it looks like fire. I freaking love it.
It is fire. That's my I'm taking that one.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
That's right, good one.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
I'm gonna go with one that's very close here to
the studios, Traveler the Horse. And I just read in
Wikipedia that the person that I thought was called Tommy
Trojan is not Tommy Trojan. It's it's just a generic
Trojan warrior that they switch out every year, and it's
mistakenly called Tommy the Trojan. So I'm just going to
(34:41):
go with Traveler for this one. And then secondly, because
costume Fortune doesn't have a football program anymore, and I
can't I can't go with Tough of the Titan hashtag
tusks up. I'm going to go with the I'll go
with Ralfie. I'll go with Rolfie. It seems like I've
been saying this a lot on the show recently. I
(35:03):
every time Ralphie comes out, there's a chance somebody's gonna eat.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah. So I'm I just I actually want Ralphie at
some point to go like, wait, I'm a buffalo. I
can take out all the sideline. I don't get it hurt,
but I mean just a little scare would probably make
us all happy.
Speaker 8 (35:18):
It's a little scare, all right, back, all right, you're
back to you. You just say both, Yeah, you did it,
You did it? Okay, Okay, it's my turn.
Speaker 9 (35:25):
Can I take Kyenne from the Louisiana Raging Cajun's I mean,
it is a Cayenne.
Speaker 8 (35:32):
Pepper, get out of here.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (35:34):
I will take Kyenne any day.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
And it's it is like a like like a you know,
a costume, not just like a person that has painted
their face red.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
So I'm taking Cayenne.
Speaker 9 (35:44):
A lot of pipples in that, all right, Samuel, all.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Right, you know what, I had a change of heart.
I'm not gonna pick Herky the Hawk. I love Herky,
but he's fine. I'm gonna go though with another Big
ten member. I love her due Pete.
Speaker 9 (35:59):
That was my other ones.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Do Pete with the the railroad hammer, like the pig,
yeah yeah, and then like the hard hat. And then
they got the train going around the station or maybe
that's at Macki Arena. They got a train going around somewhere.
I love it. Boiler Makers have a great mascot.
Speaker 8 (36:18):
All right, coach, finish us off.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I'm going with the University of South Carolina's mascot, Cocky Nice.
That's actually that's actually the name of their game. Cock
mascot is Cocky. Yeah. I'm a I'm a fan of
all of the high jinks of Cocky and all the
double entendres of their nicknames. The mascot's nickname.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
And that came down any of these teams being in
the playoff. By the way, was there a top twelve
team and any of those mascots.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
Listen, Pipe Snow No, Syracuse and Purdue probably not.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
I just want to add one thing. This is not
a college football mascot, but the most terrifying mass Scott
is wu Shock of the Witches, Shaw State Shockers. If
you go back and look at the old Shock Shock,
if you look at the old school pictures of wu
shock from like the thirties and forties, it is terrifying.
Speaker 8 (37:11):
Well, he's terrifying.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It's a wheat shocker. Wheat shocker yep. Also also some
double entendre there. Maybe you can explain a Mons off
air in the meantime, that's game.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Time, game, This is game time on the Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Monty, do you know what a shock of weed is?
A shock of weed? No, we'll explain it. There's nothing
nefarious to it. Okay, seems like Brandon at York's got
to start playing football. How do we know they told
him next

my rapid radio here. And this thing is so cool.
Breaker one nine, Breaker one nine this year the bandit
come back, right. I love this thing. The thing is
(01:07):
so good. We'll get to our rapid radios reads a
little bit later on the show, but.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I have.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I think there's two people in the media, right now
who in many ways parallel each other, and they're trying
to have the same type of success they've had previously
in this field, which is not necessarily was definitely not
(01:37):
their primary focus coming out of college. Coach Prime is
the Donald Trump of college football and vice versa. Two
gigantic names, honestly, two gigantic names from the nineties, eighties
and nineties who have achieved, Like whatever you want to
(01:58):
say about our former president, and he beat fifteen establisher
Republicans and Hillary Rodham Clinton to win the presidency of
the United States. That was an all time upset. So
he's actually achieved something previously. And we can say whatever
we want about Jackson State and the level of competition.
They were the most dominant team in the HBCU world
(02:20):
and they dramatically change how we view Jackson State like overnight. Now.
Trying to get back to that level for either is
going to be very difficult. And I think both are
similar in that, whether you like or dislike for whatever reason,
you can't turn it off. You know you're still watching.
(02:43):
And then they both have this kind of ingenious way
of making any legitimate negative discussion into being about you
being negative and not about the actual discussion, right, It's
like it's it's diabolical and brilliant that you know, Trump
(03:05):
can talk about all these things. It's like you help
lead a riot on the Capitol after you lost the
last election. The same thing for Dion, like, hey, we're
asking you tough questions. You you said you wouldn't be
hard to find, and now you don't want us to
(03:25):
find you. You were the most flamboyant and talked about
college football coach in the country last year and you
won four games, Like people weren't rooting for you to
win four games. Now we get to a place to
where you get fatigue and you get worn down, and
the act kind of feels like I've seen this before.
(03:47):
I know how it ends, and I think you're getting
some of that with Donald Trump. I think you're getting
a lot of that with coach Prime. So here's the question,
not a political question. Colorado kicks out their football season.
They're taking on North Dakota State really really well regarded
one double A team or whether they come FCS team,
(04:11):
And I'm just wondering, like, if I did an honest ratio,
I think most of us will watch one. You know
you have two players at Colorado who are two of
at least are perceived super elite players in the college game.
You'll watched last year even when they weren't good, but
especially when they were winning early and you were surprised surprised.
(04:31):
I think this year's team will be better than last year.
But this year's schedule, especially pre dating when they get
to the Big Twelve. You know, Colorado State on the
road and Nebraska on the road, as well as North
Dakota State at home, those are hard, hard games. Are
you watching to see Colorado win because you want to
be one of those? Hey, all these people are against
(04:54):
coach Prime. I'm with them sort of guys. Or do
you want to see them lose? I don't think there's
anything in the middle. Sandwich is it for you? Do
you want to see him winner? Do you want to
see him lose? Well?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I forgot about this fact. North Dakota State is coached
by former IOWA assistant Tim Poulasek, and so I definitely
want to see him pull off the upset in Boulder
over the by excuse me, over the Buffalo Bison.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Over the Buffalo Bison, over the buffalo.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Got a couple of trampling mascots for this game we do.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Is there a difference between a bison and a buffalo?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
There is. I couldn't tell you the minuscule anology differences,
but they are basically the same beast. They are, but
they might have slight differences.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
All right, Jay stew are you rooting for? Do you
want coach Prime to win or lose?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Bison and buffalo are both large horned ox like animals
in the bevide family, but there are several differences between them.
Bison have humps, a large hump. Buffalo did not.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No humps for the for the.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
So there it is, lots of humps. All right, learn
something today. So here's here's my take on tonight. Dion
would have us believe, or he said this in the past,
that the reason why his program is disliked is because
we don't like brash, colorful, uh in your face black men. Right.
(06:25):
He has said that. No, No, it's not that. It's
how you coach your kids to play. I don't think
it's good sportsmanship. It's easy to hate they they they
go overboard with rubbing it in and taunting. That was
the problem last year. Had nothing happened Nike.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What did Nike do about Nike? Miike has made Shadeur
a centerpiece for their ad campaign. Okay, Meanwhile, the picture
of Shador is him holding up a watch which is
not Nike watch. And oh yeah, by the way, it's
douchebag material, That's what it is. Who does that? It
just is sorry, everybody thinks it. And and you know
(07:03):
he may have gotten money from his nil. All that
stuff is because of his dad's name. Like, what are
we doing? You know, what are we doing? It's like
the kids showing up with brand new Jordan's to the
second day of sixth grade, acting like you know, I
made all this money, Like it's your dad's money. What
are you doing? Stop it anyway? Sorry, go ahead chasing.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
So that was the reason why I drooted against them
last year, and I'm going to root against him this year.
It's because of the way they play. I think I
asked you or I told you usher he's going to
get one of his players killed on the on the
on the field. What was it the Colorado State game
where there was like an extra hit after the whistle
or something that kind of of s talking by teams.
(07:55):
You're dealing with kids with a lot of pride, and
when you shove it in their face like he does,
like he co, I think he's going to get one
of his players really hurt, including his son. So anyways,
for all these reasons, I'm tuned.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
In to watch, But you want to see him lose?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Absolutely? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I think that's the general I think most people think
that I just do. I just do. And I again,
I totally understand if you're like, well, you know, he's
a success story. He's been successful. He's got us talking
about Colorado, caring about Colorado football. But you want all
(08:36):
that attention, you want all that smoke, you get it,
you got to own it. And tonight, I would say
eighty percent of the football world who's watching wants them
to lose, you know, because you're losing in North Dakota State.
That would be a little bit of come up and
what are you thinking about? Do you want to see
(08:57):
Dion win or see Dion lose? At Gottlieb showed Twitter
at Gottlieb Show Instagram.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Doug gollib show rolls on Fox Sports Radio. So the
Patriots have decided to go with Jacoby Brissett. We'll be
joined by Sean Alexander, former MVP of the NFL, going
back to his days of Seattle Seahawks. He'll join us
at half past the hour. We've talked about this a lot.
I mean, look, it's a team in New England that
we're not going to talk a lot about because they're
not very good. But they did draft a highly toouted
(09:36):
quarterback and they did bring back Jacoby Brissett, who was
the third stream quarterback for them. He started in previous
years at Cleveland and other places as well. Here's Rod
Mayo there, new head coach, announcing his decision to start
the veteran Jacoby Brissett ahead of the rookie Drake may
(10:01):
We'll get to that in one second. Look my read
on it is pretty simple. I just I just think
that in reality, Okay, in reality, you have a guy
in a Jacoby Brissett who you can take in, take out.
(10:21):
Everything has happened to him in this game. Whereas you know,
and I think Jason describes so many gen Zers as fragile.
I think young people can be fragile. They haven't seen
the tough times the way that older people have. And
when you're a rookie quarterback coming into this league, whether
you're fragile, whether you just lack the self esteem of
having done it before, it's a real thing. Here's Mayo
(10:45):
on his decision.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
We have decided, or I have decided, that Jacoby Brissett
will be our starting quarterback this season. Now I'm saying
that as an organization, we're one hundred percent behind Jacoby.
There is no you know, you got a guy right here,
you got a guy right there. We're one hundred percent
behind your COVID. I had an opportunity to talk to Drake,
I had an opportunity to talk to Jacoby separately and
also together, and I feel like we're all on the
(11:07):
same page from an organizational perspective.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, so we're on the same page. It's going to
be your time. It's just not right now. There's no race.
We're not in a rush. You know, it's a really
hard thing to do too, as a young player, as
a young coach. Whatever, you have a new, bright, shiny object,
you have a quarterback you want to put him out there,
but you got to balance it, take a breath with it,
(11:32):
and go like, what's the difference. You know, I don't
think there's huge expectations of this Patriots team anyway. Like
nobody's sitting there going like super Bowl or bust. So
take your time with it. Make sure he's ready. Have
him watched. Jakoby Brissette, who's a pros pro. Haven't watch
him prep, haven't watched See what goes right, see what
(11:54):
goes wrong? You know, until you've most guys have never
seen an NFL game exit very different than the base
of the college game. No matter how much you get
guys ready with preseason games, we know it's not the same.
We just do. Let me s Doug Gottlieb show here
on Fox Sports Radio, and you may remember him as
(12:15):
the NFL's MVP in two thousand and five. Of course,
he led the Seahawks to Super Bowl forty. He was
a three time Pro Bowler, played nine years in the NFL,
but of course an absolute start during his college football
days as well. He's one only Sean Alexander kind of
have to spend some time with U year on the
Doug Gottlieb show, and Sean, what tell me how it
(12:36):
came to be that you're the biggest advocate here for
this Freshman the Year award.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
You know, it was a wild story. Of course. You know,
I've had great relationships with many of the writers from
sports and about seven years ago they asked me what
I helped. They're like, man, we want you to be
a part of college football in some kind of way.
You want to help us pick out the freshman All
American team and doing some of the voting for some
(13:02):
of the players and and uh and so I said, yeah, sure,
I'll do that. And you know, it was really great
and uh and and it's a lot of fun. And
then after the year ended, they said, yeah, we're thinking
about naming the Freshman Player of the Year after somebody.
We want somebody who's you know, had a great college career,
great pro career. It's not a sinker, you know what
I mean. He's young enough that kids can remember him,
(13:25):
and also at the same time, he's old enough where
he could handle this position. But he's alive. And I
was like, oh, let me think about that. So uh
they called me up like the next day. It was like, Sean,
we actually were joking, it's it's you. We want you
to be the the award recipient of the Shawn Alexander
Freshman Player of the Year. And I was like, wow, okay,
and so uh so yeah, so they they picked me
(13:47):
and and we went on and we we picked the
Freshman All American Team that year, and then the and
the and the player of the Year was our first
one was the was Trevor Lawrence, you know now quarterback
with the Jacksonvilleah whar. He's a little freshman at Clemson
and they beat Alabama in the National championship game, and
he was number one. Kenneth Gainswell was the second. Will
Anderson Bama defensive end was the number the third, Tick
(14:10):
and and then forth was brock Ours. Fifth was Drake May,
and then six is Caleb Downs. And so we've had
six winners, all great freshmen we looked up and these
guys have all become the ones who are in the
pros now have become pros. And a couple of Trevor's
number one overall, but we've had two number three overalls,
Drake May and Will Anderson. We've already had Kennem Gainswell
(14:34):
for the Eagles. He already sit in the Super Bowl.
So our guys were picking them at these little nineteen
year olds and and they're blockoming quickly in the pros.
And so that's some dispecial that we wanted to do,
was pick out a great freshman but also see the
future of college football. We call him the Prince of
college football. And where we've been picking right, it's been
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Shout out Exander joining us on the Doug Gotleig Show
here on Fox Sports Radio. What do you remember about
you your freshman year when you were in college?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, my big my biggest game was the LSU game. Uh.
You know it was still Alabama's best single singles a
single game, rushing games and uh, and what I remember
about it is is we have all this talent on
Alabama's team. You got all these guys you know all
state Tennessee, you know a year older than me, all
(15:23):
State Alabama that you know, two years older me. You
got all these world class athletes and and our two,
our starter in the back of both got hurt right
before the game, and uh and they sumed me in
the game in the first quarter, had one carry, one touchdown,
seventeen yards, against LSU. You know, still bam LSU eight
(15:45):
verse nine or something like that, you know, and and
uh they put me in the second half and and
broke two seventy yarders and next thing, you know, it's
two hundred and ninety one yards on twenty carries and
four touchdowns. And and I just remember playing against bat
Rus at night as a freshman and putting your putting
your mark on a team. It's just special. And so
(16:08):
those are the moments I remember as a freshman, you know,
just those big games in the SEC and be able
to go in there and play, you know, all during
the you know, two weeks later Florida Gators and the
SEC championship and we lost and they end up winning
national championship and kind of knowing how close we are,
you know, your freshman year gets to teach you a
lot about the fight inside you and also whether you
can actually go get the thing done. And it was
(16:30):
it was really special for me.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Sean Alexander joining us on the Doug Gallic Show. Yeah.
Interesting it would we don't know this, but would have
been interesting to see if you would have transferred after
you know, your first year. We got to start because
of injuries. Second year didn't play nearly as much. Would
you even made it to years three and four if
it was twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Four, Yeah, you know what, I think I would have,
because I'm one of those if I pick you, I
pick you, and we're gonna ride or die, you know.
And it was never like, ooh, you're not going to play.
It was you know, you freshmen, We've got two juniors.
Then they're both pretty good, and then they're sophomore. My
(17:06):
sophomore year they were seniors, and I was one of
those guys that I thought I was the best. But
I also wasn't arrogant enough to feel like they don't
deserve to at least have a shot to go do
it now. I always said them. I told him to
say that. I that I've always told everybody, if you
give me a chance, though you might not get it back.
(17:26):
But but but to take it from somebody without being
on the field, I didn't think that was the right
thing to do.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
What about as a pro, how long did it take
to when you felt really comfortable as an NFL running back?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
You know, I was about Ricky Waters and you know
it's ten thousand yards seventy eight touchdowns. You know, he
was that guy, and so you know my you know,
I would come into spotty like that my rookie year,
and then he got hurt like a third game of
our second of my second season, and that was you know,
you know, thirteen hundred you know, twenty or fifteen sixteen
(18:03):
touchdowns and then the place was mine. And so it
was once again, it was the same thing. Like I
believe that if you've got a superstar in front of you,
you're respecting, you know, you honoring, because one day of
the shift and you'll be the guy. But if you
get the chance, you leave a mark. And you know,
my first two starts when Ricky got hurt was you know,
(18:27):
was like one seventy and one and two and one
and two touchdowns. You know, so but you know, you
blink your eyes at three hundred dards and three touchdowns
in two games, and so everybody can kind of see.
But that's that's kind of what I believe. I believe
in busting your tail and getting yourself ready to go
and be that guy, but also having enough humility and
patience and grind to to wait it out. But when
(18:50):
it's your term, take it over. And I think that's
why I like the Freshman Player of the Year award,
you know, like I get to go tell those stories
and being like, hey, you're the guy, we all see
it in you, but also have a little humility and
a lot in a strong, strong skin and a strong
work ethic and watch what happens and uh, it becomes
that fun.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
How can we get more information about the award?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Well, you know, uh, you know, of course all these
social media is you got, you know, Instagram and Twitter,
and then we're part of the Maxwell Football Club family
of awards and uh and sore where you can go
to Maxwell dot com or you can go just to
my award to self Sean Alexander dot com and and
and hear about it. But uh, it's been a lot
(19:35):
of fun growing these relationships with these guys and watching
them become men and and uh and uh what's really
cool is is we've kind of layered it, you know,
so just like the watch list, you get to see
the Alexander Hot thirty seven and and I start the
relationships with those guys then and around first of November
we come up with the Fab fourteen. That's the fourteenth
(19:55):
semi finalists. December December one, right before that championship game,
we usually list out our top five finalists and then
I'll usually call the winner on Christmas Day and I
give him a Merry Christmas. And you're the freshman player
player of the year. You're the baddest freshman in the country.
Now go win your bowl games. And it's always a
(20:16):
sweet moment where force the winners with that. And you know,
it's been about three of them have been able to
play in the playoffs or the National Championship game afterwards,
so it's been really cool to watch that.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Also, it should be a lot of fun. Sean, You're
an awesome embassador, not just for this but for all
the football. We really appreciate joining us on Foxford Tridio.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Hey, thank you, brother, have a good one.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
All right, that's our pleasure. That's Shawn Alexander joining us
in the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. I
did want to bring Monseiu into this conversation of one
we had yesterday, so we were trying to figure out
why people were freaking out about shohe Tani's bobblehead night.
Now he did, of course play well because you show
(21:01):
hey Otani apparently there was like there were gold bobbleheads,
Is that right?
Speaker 8 (21:06):
There was.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
It was like a golden ticket and you didn't know
whether you got it until you opened the box.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
So the last couple of years there has been like
a specialty bobblehead.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
You know.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
A couple of years ago we had a Cody Bellinger bobblehead,
and very few of them.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
He had the.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Gray Away uniform.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
That bobblehead was in a window, meaning they handed to
you and you could tell right away is it a
white uniform or is it a gray uniform. This was
a couple of years ago, and people went crazy for
Cody Bellinger in a gray Away uniform jersey.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
However you want to look at it.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
So this time we were expecting it to be a
little bit wild as well. The first round of Otani
bobbleheads also had a special different look, but they didn't
announce it. This one was announced a little bit ahead
of time, and it was an all gold bobble head.
But there's no window on the box. So you walked
in they handed you a bobblehead, and then you walked in,
you had to open it. You had to take it
out to see if you got the golden bobblehead, the
(22:02):
golden ticket and brilliant.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
It was actually kind of fun.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
We started with tours, so the tour guests were the
first ones to come in and get their babble heads.
And the way I would find out as if they
got it, is because I was away, like in center field,
and I could hear someone cheering, and I was like, oh,
they got a gold one because they're cheering.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
There's they're all clapping and cheering, and uh.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
We also found out that the box on the outside
there's a picture of show Hey, and there's like a
moon and Saturn, and on the moon there's a little pawprint.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
And that's how you knew it was a golden babble.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yes, I like that. I like that.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Yeah, but we obviously didn't know that until you know,
after the facts. So if you look closely, there is
a little pap print. So no, my bobble box does
not have a pawprint.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Okay, it didn't even open mind. So here's the question,
Jay stew Uh, percentage of Dodger fans who went to
the game last night knowing there was a potential golden
babble head majority.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Yeah, most people did they announce it beforehand, so I
think that's what explains the massive traffic jam to get
in and people camping out or getting there really early.
The question I have for everybody here is how much
was the what are those golden things going forward?
Speaker 8 (23:18):
A lot?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Like?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Are we talking about fifteen five figures?
Speaker 8 (23:22):
I'll tell you right now because yesterday they were?
Speaker 5 (23:26):
And is that was that the cause that one makes
sense to go there at eight in the morning and
just camp all day because you could turn zero dollars
into fifteen thousand. That makes that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Like right now, just the first couple of listings on
eBay two thousand plus eighteen hundred thirty one.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Hundred, I saw one for seventeen thousand. Maybe that was like,
I don't even know.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
This one is seventeen thousande it right.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Now asking price? Does they're going to get to seventeen thousand.
But let's just say that these golden bobble heads are
going in the thousands, and then the colored ones are
going from like hundreds. Yeah, yeah, and I'd love to
have one of just even the colored ones that are cool.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Yeah, no, no, they are cool.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
And obviously has his dog decoy but it was like
this the first time around with the first Bobblehead, and
this time around it was a little.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Bit you know, more intense.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
People thought it was like Black Friday and that they
could camp out, and I don't know what they try
to start camping out at like seven am, but they
were shoot away. They were like, you can't get in
line at seven am, what are you doing?
Speaker 8 (24:29):
And then the line.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Really started around ten thirty am outside the gates, like
there was I don't know where people left their cars.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
I don't know where they parked.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
It was a madness.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Was it was mad.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
It was crazy. I saw a video footage of this.
People lined up like it was a like a Taylor
Swift concert or honestly, like in line to watch Camp Clark. Yeah, exactly.
It was crazy. And I think Japanese fans flew in
for this game, Oh absolutely, because they interviewed people in
line and they're like, yeah, we came in for this game.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
And that's why these are going for so much money
is because he is an international star.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
That we were aware he's internationalist.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
We were aware, but you know, Americans buying this is
what I'm saying, right.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Which is which is kind of the secret to the
California housing market, which people don't understand, right, They're like,
how can anybody afford like you have? You know, Asian
business people they come in, they smartly buy up with
cash and everything. And Persian business people buying up all
of Newport Coast. That's what kind of drives up with
those values. But man, to come in for one baseball
game seems like a lot.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Yeah, no, guys.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
There were people who sorry, there was like a one
one family who took a Japanese tour at ten thirty am,
they took an English tour at one pm, and then
they took the pregame tour at three point thirty.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I can barely make it through like half a tour.
My add that creeps up. I get through a tour like,
oh my gosh, I don't care, like, oh this is
from nineteen sixties, Like don't care. Might be this may
be incredible information, but you got past fifteen minutes. I'm out.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I know.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
They're all a day.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
People were trying to stay in the stadium because they
kept you. They're like, you have to exit to get
back in line. And I was like, listen, if you
want to hide in a Bush.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
You can try it. Try all means. I'm not going
to stop you.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
I'm just telling you, I've never seen security work as
hard as they've been working today.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Well, we'll see what was like. Looking back, I'm pretty
sure that was like a fire hazard, a violation of
something looking back. Can't the Dodgers just have as many
bobbleheads as there are seats in the stadium.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah, but it's a supply and demand thing.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
It is a supply actually this time.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Usually the Dodgers, by the way, are the ones that
give the most giveaways. We usually do forty thousand giveaways
for any giveaway out of how many seats.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
It's like, is it fifty five thousand dollars?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Fifty six thousand is a capacity, but that includes the
player of security workers.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
There's not fifty five thousand seats. There's probably about fifty thousand,
fifty seats.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
We're talking like eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Why why to only eighty percent get the giveaway?
Speaker 9 (26:57):
Well, this time, Doug, they actually had fifty thousand giveaways.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
They didn't they update.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
They didn't.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Everyone should have got one. They did not.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
That was not public information. That wasn't told. They did
up it ten thousand more this time.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
So they kind of.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Somewhere there's a George stands up there, who's Who's who.
He's very much in charge of this. He's like, what
if we give away just forty thousand this time and
saved some money. No, let's do fifty thousan.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
They're already spending a lot of money on show. Hayes
contract Like there it's it was a wise investment. I mean,
I can't even tell you like the valuation of all
of this show hey Mania. I mean, they're they're gonna
get their money money's worth.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Last night, like literally last night would be one of
those nights where you would hear Joe Davis or whoever say,
I mean, if you went into a Hollywood script pitch meeting,
they kick out of the room.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You hate this, You hate that.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Because decoy his dog is on the bubblehead correct decoy
throughout the first.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
Pitch throughout with he ran it to him the first.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Pitch, sho steps up first, first about and it's a
home run.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
It's ridiculous. And by the way, they had been practicing
this with decoy. He had been out there for like
two weeks.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Like the tours were high five, right, Yeah, like they
were training.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
They were they they didn't do it, you know, they
did it a couple of times, and it was fun
to see him doing that.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Like the first time. The tours were like, what is
he doing?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Oh, he's practicing with decoy and got to see that
lot lots of tour guests got to see it.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Yeah, because he had a practice and then one of
the times he used the restroom on the field.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
How do you how do you know all this about tours?
Do you give away tours? Have you been on a
bunch of these tours? You seem to doing a lot. Hey,
you give the tours?
Speaker 9 (28:45):
I mean I haven't, and I now am e lead
so I now run the operations day to day, but
I gave tours for many years. I would keep you
more entertained than fifteen minutes, Doug.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Really, he's an ambassador of Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, I had no idea. I love Dodger Stadium, but
I that tour I'd want like a personalized tour. I'm
a snob like that. There's a group of people like, say, coach,
here's a group people like na Na.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Yeah, No, I definitely have your attention for more than
fifteen minutes. Not with boring stuff. Not that you're boring,
I just I know what you mean about the historical stuff.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Sometimes it's boring.
Speaker 9 (29:20):
Yeah, and especially yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
This is where Sandy Kofax spit out his gum and
then the gum's been put into a case.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
And that's especially yes, especially if you do it in
like a nineteen twenties baseball This hair is where Sandy
Kofak spit out his gum the day before the Sabbath
that he took off because it was roche hush on.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Not.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
That's pretty good, that's really good.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It's The Doug Gottlieb Show. Welcome out to the School
of Kiddos. You know it's funny. I thought I had
a great pep talk for my son with high school.
And he's enjoying high school, by the way, but you
guys can appreciate this. He just doesn't like. She's like, Dad,
I just I hate school, and I was like, well,
(30:15):
high school is better than middle school. He's like, how
do you know you haven't gone to this high school.
I was like, Hayes, have you ever heard anyone go like,
you know, and I remember I miss middle school? Like
middle school sucks for everybody. High school varying levels of enjoyment.
Some people really like high school, some people are ready
to be over. But generally nobody goes back on middle
(30:36):
school and says that's the best. People will go back
on high school and say that was the best. I
don't know what you guys thought of that motivation.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, I think in like we call it junior high
in Midwest, you know, seventh and eighth grade for us,
sometimes it's six sixth threth grade, which is you know,
middle school. But it's weird, you know, you're kind of
going through puberty. It's a bigger environment. Like I went
from an elementary school to a school with you know,
eight hundred student and so it's it's a little bit
crazy and traumatic. And so yeah, I think high school
you you're a little bit more in your own character
(31:06):
and personality.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
No question. Let's speaking of character and personality, Let's get
to Moncy Bolanos, who's got great character, she's got a
great personality. She'll get to our game.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
This is game time on The Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Coach, it is Thursday, so we are playing.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
If I feel a draft.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
And we got a fun one.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
We are going to be drafting our favorite college football
mascots and this is gonna be the order snake order.
Speaker 8 (31:45):
But we're gonna start with you, Doug, you coach.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
Then it's gonna go to Sam, then Me, then Jason,
and we'll snake it around Jason, Me, Sam, and ending
with you Doug.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So start favorite mascot. Hold on, does that mean a
person has to dress as this? Scott? What is the
what is it? I need an actual ruling on the
mascot because like, is is Ralphie the Buffalo the mascot
of the Buffalo?
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
And you couldn't say like Michigan because they don't even
have a mascot. They're the Wolverines, but they don't have
something a guy in a suit or an animal walking
around during the games. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Yeah, so just an actual mascot, yes, that we can see.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Start us off, Coach.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Well, I mean, I'm an Oklahoma State of lum plus
in the Big Twelve. We'd like our mascots heavily armed.
It's actually based upon a historical figure. So I'm gonna
go pistol pete final answer.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
Right, Pete, pistol Pete. Off the board, Samuel.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
I'm not gonna go straight to uh the Iowa camp.
I'm gonna go with one that I've always loved, Auto
the Orange from Syracuse. I love just the idea of
like a dancing piece of fruit, you know, like a
dancing piece of fruit. You know, he's he or she
is is spherical and lovable and jovial. Otto the Orange,
(33:08):
Syracuse Orange.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Love it is it that universally known as like a
real corny mascot, Doug the Orange appear on ESPN commercial
cool little hat, yeah, ironic.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Way, Well, it used to be the Orange Men. Now
they're just the Orange. So I don't know how Auto's
role has evolved. But no, I mean just like Syracuse Mafia,
everybody from Syrius, everbody goes the Syracuse gets a job
and broadcast. That's standard that it works.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I've appeased many people with that pic.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Okay, all right, all right, in my turn right it's me. Okay,
So I don't have a lot of college fandom because
I just I went to Calsta Fullerton. We didn't have
football anyway, So the one I'm gonna big is one
that when I saw it, I was like, I love it,
and it's more of the like logo.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
They do have a mascot.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
He's gonna be like, what the Arkansas Pine Bluff mascot
the lion that the main spell out the letters on
their logo that is in the main looks like it's
on fire and it spells out Arkansas Pine Bluff.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
It's so it looks like fire. I freaking love it.
It is fire. That's my I'm taking that one.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
That's right, good one.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
I'm gonna go with one that's very close here to
the studios, Traveler the Horse. And I just read in
Wikipedia that the person that I thought was called Tommy
Trojan is not Tommy Trojan. It's it's just a generic
Trojan warrior that they switch out every year, and it's
mistakenly called Tommy the Trojan. So I'm just going to
(34:41):
go with Traveler for this one. And then secondly, because
costume Fortune doesn't have a football program anymore, and I
can't I can't go with Tough of the Titan hashtag
tusks up. I'm going to go with the I'll go
with Ralfie. I'll go with Rolfie. It seems like I've
been saying this a lot on the show recently. I
(35:03):
every time Ralphie comes out, there's a chance somebody's gonna eat.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah. So I'm I just I actually want Ralphie at
some point to go like, wait, I'm a buffalo. I
can take out all the sideline. I don't get it hurt,
but I mean just a little scare would probably make
us all happy.
Speaker 8 (35:18):
It's a little scare, all right, back, all right, you're
back to you. You just say both, Yeah, you did it,
You did it? Okay, Okay, it's my turn.
Speaker 9 (35:25):
Can I take Kyenne from the Louisiana Raging Cajun's I mean,
it is a Cayenne.
Speaker 8 (35:32):
Pepper, get out of here.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (35:34):
I will take Kyenne any day.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
And it's it is like a like like a you know,
a costume, not just like a person that has painted
their face red.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
So I'm taking Cayenne.
Speaker 9 (35:44):
A lot of pipples in that, all right, Samuel, all.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Right, you know what, I had a change of heart.
I'm not gonna pick Herky the Hawk. I love Herky,
but he's fine. I'm gonna go though with another Big
ten member. I love her due Pete.
Speaker 9 (35:59):
That was my other ones.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Do Pete with the the railroad hammer, like the pig,
yeah yeah, and then like the hard hat. And then
they got the train going around the station or maybe
that's at Macki Arena. They got a train going around somewhere.
I love it. Boiler Makers have a great mascot.
Speaker 8 (36:18):
All right, coach, finish us off.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I'm going with the University of South Carolina's mascot, Cocky Nice.
That's actually that's actually the name of their game. Cock
mascot is Cocky. Yeah. I'm a I'm a fan of
all of the high jinks of Cocky and all the
double entendres of their nicknames. The mascot's nickname.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
And that came down any of these teams being in
the playoff. By the way, was there a top twelve
team and any of those mascots.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
Listen, Pipe Snow No, Syracuse and Purdue probably not.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
I just want to add one thing. This is not
a college football mascot, but the most terrifying mass Scott
is wu Shock of the Witches, Shaw State Shockers. If
you go back and look at the old Shock Shock,
if you look at the old school pictures of wu
shock from like the thirties and forties, it is terrifying.
Speaker 8 (37:11):
Well, he's terrifying.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It's a wheat shocker. Wheat shocker yep. Also also some
double entendre there. Maybe you can explain a Mons off
air in the meantime, that's game.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Time, game, This is game time on the Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Monty, do you know what a shock of weed is?
A shock of weed? No, we'll explain it. There's nothing
nefarious to it. Okay, seems like Brandon at York's got
to start playing football. How do we know they told
him next
