Speaker 6 (13:44):
To Mesa, the city of the Arts.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
John is here to promote his fabulous town. Wonder why,
I mean, I don't know how many we've done down here,

We love the local politicians.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Come on, I got a Chargers fan here.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Exactly right, Chuck.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Now, John, what does a man do after.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
He was mayor for four and a half years? What
do you go into do you try to go into
into the supervisor State Assembly to try to go take
out a contusion in a in a irvine? Like?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
How do you what do you do? How do you
do things? Well?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
You know, So I'm a business trial lawyer at a
firm called FBFK plug for my firm based in Doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
So you're a lawyer. Yeah, you're a lawyer, and you're
the mayor of.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Coachtin absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
They call me the bald spot of Justice.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yes, we can get beside that.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
So yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
So anyhow, that's what I do for a living, and
the mayor thing is just kind of public service that
I do. I used to coach baseball and softball and
then I got in to public service, got elected in
twenty sixteen. I've been the mayor for four and a
half years.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Well, it turns out all representatives are supposed to be
public service, John, That's what it's supposed to be. And
that's why we like doing it at the local level
because it is public service.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
That's all it is, exactly. I don't do it for
the money.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
God knows.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah you get do you get? Do you get?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Like a lot of flak if you're if you're doing
too much lawyering and not enough mayoring.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I mean, how much do you have to balance out
your time?
Speaker 6 (15:26):
No, nobody gives me any flaks. So it's like it's
about a thirty about It's been about thirty hours a
week on it, and then I got a full time job.
And if anybody's going to give me flak, it's my
law firm, the city. The city gets plenty of my time.
And but it's fun. It's to me, it's a joy,
and it's a wonderful thing to do. And it's great
to be the ambassador for Coast to Mason. Welcome all
the great people and Petros and Money. I never thought
(15:48):
i'd meet Petros and Money.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yet here we are.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Send you guys, yet here we are, we are so inaccessible,
and yet on the same stage in Coast of Messa
we meet. Here's here's a question. I got look, politics
at the local level a lot different than what people
think about when it comes to politics. What what would
you say, like in terms of running the city? You know,
is it is it a traffic light? Is it streets sweeping?
(16:11):
What is the one thing that really is it parking tickets?
What stokes the ire of those one hundred and twelve
thousand people here in Coasta Mesa that you've been able
to resolve? They said, fix this forest, Mayor Stevens, and
you said, I got you Coast.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
To Oas, Oh my goodness, will you threw a twist
in there at the end that I would be able
to resolve it. I think the thing that's on people's
mind more than anything else in Coast to Mason this
area is the price of housing.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Okay, So what.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
We're what we're trying to do is create more supply
and bring the rents down. You know, people are basically
saying the rents too high, and.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Rent's too damn high.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
When the rent's too high, it ripples, and before you know,
we have an issue with homelessness. We did in my
term establish a homeless shelter, and we've we've housed almost
five hundred people from the streets, from the streets to
permanent housing. Beautiful, all the things I've done. I think
that's the thing I'm most proud of.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
John.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
If Costa Mesa had one rival city, one city that
it really wants to stick it to, I don't know
if that's cypress Or or Garden.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Grove or Irvine, Santa Anna.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You know, what is your number one rival?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Like?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Who do you when you guys have like an Orange
County city track meet or field day or whatever it is, Like, who,
who's your big rival? Well, we're a sports show. Well,
you know, we're all about competition. Newport Beach, I would say. So,
you know, you know Will O'Neil, the former mayor of Beach.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Everybody knows Will.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
So he and I had a competition. It was the
mayor the Mayor's Cup, and was a series of drinking games,
ton of games, drinking games in trivia and and a
cappella singing, and and he beat Meal. He beat me
in the drinking games, and I learned something is never
bet on a drinking game. With an irishman. It was
(17:52):
not O'Neil. Boy, that guy could Will O'Neil, who's not
the chairman of the Republican Party in Orange County, And
that guy can chug it beer better than I think
any elected official.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Now, you don't do you surf? I mean you're a
mile from the I mean, don't you have some wappy hobbies? Well?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
I pull well, I play golf. I play a lot
of golf. I play the back nine all the time, and.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I out there.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Yeah, I always. I always try in the back nine
to at least Coast of Mesa Country Club.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I try to.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
I try to shoot my waistline on the back nine.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Well done.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
If I If I can't make it to the driving range,
I just have a bowl of ice cream.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
So we have a yogurt land here.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Oh yeah, they're great. I love New Love yogurt Land.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Because it's hot.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Oh yeah, it's a hot day for Coasta Mesa. We
do have some Coast to Mesa breeze. But we have
like the best weather I think maybe in the world.
Do we have the best weather in the world in
the world.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Southern California, no doubt, is a big part of that.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
As hot as it is here in Coasta Mesa.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
People, it's everywhere else, that's right. People would be clapping harder,
but they're dying of heated. Yeah, it's a little hot today.
It's a little hot today.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
Well, we're in a little bit of an enclosed area
for the listeners. We're in an enclosed area, so you
can't get get the breeze, can't get the full Coast
to Mesa breeze off the Mesa.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
For you cutting, just last one from me, John, and
we appreciate John Stevens, Mayor of Coast to Mesa. We
love the public ceremonies. Giant scissors, a red or a
gold ribbon, last ribbon cutting? Did you cut the ribbon
for Akia? What's the last ribbon cutting? Y?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Yes, today I did Goodwill which is on the on
that on the corner of Mesa Verdi and and uh
and and Harbor Boulevard. And you know there's a technique
to the ribbon cutting. It's all in the wrist, So
whoever cuts it is one thing, but you gotta lift
it up and make it fly for the effect, pull
it tight so it's got a beautiful photo. Some people,
(19:41):
some people, they don't do that and they just let
the ribbon go. Limp.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You never want to that opportunity.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
You do not want to limp written, No, you don't.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Not a limp rist it scissors, No, no.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Joining us right now on your Southern California Toyota Dealer
celebrity headset. The number one most elusive guest in the
history of the Petrosen Money Show. If you thought Barry
Sanders could escape the grasp of a defender, you have
no idea what Joel Clatt can do.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He is oh when Tim Kates comes looking.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
One of the great voices, if not the best, most honest,
unencumbered voice in all of college football there is. He
is a hero to us all his lifestyle, his frankness,
his overall decency. The Great Joel Klatt. I'm not even kidding.
(23:25):
He's a wonderful guy. And he does every single big
game including Ohio State Michigan watched by billions of people
every year billim on Big Fox billions. He will be
a week from Saturday live at the Horseshoe, Texas Ohio
State Big Noon kickoff, the absolute college football game of
(23:48):
the year.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
In the opener.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
He has built an incredible career working at Fox out
of Colorado, Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Joel Klatty, Thank you, buddy. Now, Joel,
it's good to be here. It's great to have you.
You brought your boys. It's wonderful to see the Clatt boys.
That's right, Henry, Sam and THEO are over there, looking
strong and excited about the van's promotion. Have you ever
(24:12):
i mean, you've lived in Orange County now about what
eight years?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
And and have you ever been here to the Van's headquarter.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
We've never been to the headquarters, so this is a
treat first time here.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It's a very nice place.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Now, first and foremost Texas.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah, Arch Manning guys never really started a game except
for one against Louisiana Monroe.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
What do you expect as far as I mean, there's.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Fanfare, and there's all the excitement, and there's every show
between last year and this year. But it's just gonna
be a football game. And the guy's got to do it.
He's got ten guys out there with him. What's gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well, I mean, and here's the thing is, like, you
don't generally beat top five teams on the road. It
just doesn't happen right in college football. And yet here's
this guy with limited starting experience, but because of the
name on his back, there's expectations like we've never really
seen for a guy that's really the first time starter
Heisman front runner. And I would tell you, like, I'm
(25:08):
also expecting big things from March. I think Archs could
be one of the best players in college football. He
reminds me a lot of Trevor Lawrence when Lawrence was
at Clemson, because he's got that athleticism more of his
grandfather rather than his uncles. His uncles couldn't run at all.
Peyton looked like he was playing in cement shoes, right,
you know, but here's Arch and he's taken off on
the outside. I think that this guy could could have
(25:29):
an incredible year, and in particular because of the family
that he came from. Remember, this is going to be
a massive game at Ohio State. And yet I don't
think that he's going to be overwhelmed at all because
think of the environments that he's been in his whole life,
just as a fan, watching his uncles play and being
around this sport. Heck, Thanksgiving dinner in the Manning House
is an event, right, So this guy, I don't think
(25:50):
he's going to be too overwhelmed with the stage that
he has facing the Buckeyes next week.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
How you mentioned top five team on the road, they
lose a lot, I think, right, Ohio State? Yeah, so
fourteen draft picks, fourteen draft picks, Yeah, so kind of.
There's still a top five team though, and they are
the defending champs, So how good are they? And I
guess I'll spin that into a local question. How good
is the Big Ten?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Like?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
How tough of a row is this going to be
for USC and UCLA or is it okay?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
This year?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I think the top of the Big Ten is the
best in college football when you look at I think
that there are three top five teams just out of
the Big Ten in Oregon, Penn State, and Ohio State.
Then you've got probably Clemson in Texas right there in
Alabama and Georgia kind of right on the outside of
that looking in. So the top of the Big Ten
is as elite as you can possibly get in college
(26:40):
football right now. The middle of the SEC is probably
a little bit better than the middle of the Big Ten.
But I will say this, I think that the road
for UCLA specifically is very difficult. And then for USC,
USC is a team that I gotta be honest, like,
they should not be in this situation, right, you know,
be a better program with the rules set up how
(27:02):
it is uh in college football, with the freedom of
movement for players, with the ability to spend money. There's
no reason that USC should be a seven win team.
There's just none whatsoever. So they need to pick it up,
to put it frankly, and it's gonna be difficult. The
key game for USC, I think the entire season hinges
on their early game against Illinois. If they can beat Illinois, yeah,
(27:24):
that's right, which which could be difficult is Illinois coming
out here? No, it's a champagne the ghosts.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And then right, and then the ghost of ray Nichi
kicks you in the ribs.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
That's all right.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
How do you like that, Lincoln? That's gonna be tough
for them.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I don't think there's no buzz about USC going the year.
The buzz is about a recruiting class coming in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, in a transfer portal era? What are we doing
out here?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I mean, shoot you, you could talk for hours on this.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I'm sure I were the Dodger station. Here's here.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I boil it down. I boil it down to I mean, listen,
there's there's countless things that you could you could talk
about with USC, and and are their problems. Absolutely, there's
no doubt that there's problems. I boil it down on
the field to one thing. Lincoln Riley's success at Oklahoma.
The reason that he was so successful and they were
a perennial playoff team and won the Big Twelve every
single year is because they were balanced and they were
(28:19):
able to run the football. You and I talked about
that at length all the time and covered those teams
at OU they would run the ball for two hundred
and eighty two hundred and eighty five three hundred yards at
some points on average, guys like Rodney Anderson and Trey
Sermon before he transferred to Ohio State. And that's not
what we see out of us C. What we what
we see out of USC right now, And and this
(28:41):
is a knock, by the way, this is not They
have turned into what was kind of like a Texas
Tech Mike Leach team where they just throw the football
and I don't think you can win at the top
end they evolved unless you can win at the line
of scrimmage. And and that's something that you've been harping
on for a year.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
How far are they because USC, the Big Ten is
supposed to be like Ohio State. Yeah, and it's laughable
to say that, Like it's you say that and you
can't say it with a straight face because you go
to the Horseshoe and you call what fifteen games a
year there?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You know, I should just get an apartment in.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Seriously, you guys all should. But I mean, how far
is that gap huge?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Right now? I don't think you know, in good conscious
you can't even rank USC right now with with where
they're at and and Ohio State is a class in
and of their their own. When you think about Ohio State,
here's what's wild about this. They do not take a
dip for forever, decades upon decades, and every single year
(29:40):
they're at the top of college football. And we've seen
USC and again, like there's actually way less excellence at
USC in their history than there is excellence. There's big
pockets of dips at USC, and then they'll raise up
and be really good for a couple of years and
then they take, you know, a huge dips again. And
(30:01):
we're in one of those dips right now.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
We're a lack of consistency since Pete Carroll left, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well and even before what are you talking about talking about?
Speaker 5 (30:10):
What about the guy that came from Notre Dame, Joel
to try to help him out. I mean, you look
at Notre Dame and there was a window there when
they weren't doing anything, you know, and now they're in
the playoff. Last year, they make a run. Last year,
they feel like they're in the top ten year in
and year out. How much of it was that guy
that they brought in to be their general how much
can we replicate that success?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Here?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Do you do? Remind me that Bowden?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
There you go? So okay, so this is really nerdy,
but let's get nerdy, all right, I mean that's like
my whole mo. They're like, yeah, ex give me a
nerdy stat. Okay, So here we go. Notre Dame under
Brian Kelly could not win a national championship, really even
compete for a national championship. Yes, they went, but they
were so miles behind that Alabama team in twenty twelve.
(30:54):
And when you looked at the caliber player in class
that Brian Kelly was recruiting at Notre Dame, he was
getting about a player at an average about eighty nine
and a half. Right, that was the player rating that
they were recruiting. Well, Marcus Freeman has taken that up
to about ninety one and a half. A lot of
that was Bowden or Boden. However, he pronounce his name
and so for me.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Pronounced his dad was the guy that built all those
Cincinnati Reds team. Jim Dad was a.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
His dad was a GM and now he was in
large part is responsible for that uptick in quality at
Notre Dame to a point where let's be real honest,
like Notre Dame pushed Georgia around. They were just a
better team over the Bulldogs in last year's playoff. And
now he's going to be coming into us and be
asked to do that. And by the way, in large
(31:42):
part he's doing that, you won't see it really on
the field because it's a recruiting class, like you said,
Petros for next twenty six.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Yeah, what about UCLA, Like what are their chances in
a conference with Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin. Like
it's just like you said, USC should be able to
fight with them. It's just hard to envision you see
getting any traction in that.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I'm a big fan of Alava. I think he got
kind of a bad rap at Tennessee. Tennessee was able to,
they were able to basically people excited about that. That
was a one sided pr campaign and this kid wasn't
able to tell his side of the story. How about
the fact that it wasn't necessarily all about money? You
know how I know that he took less to be
(32:22):
at UCLA. A lot of it had to do with
the fact that the offense wasn't an offense that he
felt like would develop him for the National Football League.
The reason that that is is because Josh Heipel at
Tennessee runs the old Art Briles offense. Remember that Baylor offense.
The old Art Briles offense, choice traps with wide receivers,
and none of the quarterbacks that came from that offense
(32:42):
really developed into great NFL players. He wanted to develop
into an NFL player. He went through spring ball, the
offense did not progress like he wanted it to in
terms of its style and the way and its depth,
and he looked for another spot. So I think that
UCLA is is actually a lot better than people give
(33:03):
them credit. If you look at the way they played
late last year and now bring in that quarterback. I
think DeShawn is a really good football coach. He might
not give the like most profound interview or Prescott's little
rock with the media right now. Just because he's uncomfortable
with the media doesn't mean the whole team hast That's
exactly right, that's exactly But I do think that UCLA
(33:24):
is a good I think that they could win seven
games this year.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Take that we do have a sports talk radio show,
so that that is what this is you know, we
do have a great band and we got a great
party going. But we would be remiss not to keep
Joel for one more second.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
That Joel, you're stuck.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Stuff. The boys are all right, nor nerdy staff.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Now we're going to talk about something that has happened,
sismic change in the world of college football that just
happened yesterday that Joel has been yelling for from the rooftops, screaming, howling.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Thirty two team playoffs.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
No, No, we'll get into that too.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
SEC's fight to play nine games.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yes, and we will discuss it.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Next we'll have a wider conversation with a great college
football mind and man, one of the top analysts and
football in the world. Fox Sports Joel Klatt. One more segment.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
We are in our first hour, and our guest, Joel Klatt,
has stuck around for one more segment and then he
will take the Clatt Boys back to their home and
the Newport Coast until uh he will be in the
hole a week from beautiful, glorious, and my next door
(36:14):
neighbor's a guy that invented quicksilver.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
It's the best, uh, Joel.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Overall, Uh, there's been a lot of change in college football. Yeah,
I mean you and I have been involved in college
football for about twenty years and playing before that, and
the sport has changed more in those years that it
did in the century before. But it looks like with
what happened yesterday that we're starting to get a little
(36:39):
bit more uniformity, a little bit more continuity.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
And I didn't think we were going to get there.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
No, I mean, the SEC made the announcement yesterday that
they're going to start playing nine conference games rather than
the eight conference games that they've been playing. That's right,
that's that is that's gonna be great for college football.
They've also made a stipulation and agreed to schedule at
least one power for non conference game against one of
the other powerful conferences. That's going to be great as well.
(37:07):
One of the things that we've seen as college football
moved away from just a regular bowl games and then
crowning a champion, and then all of a sudden, we
had the BCS and then we had the four team playoff.
Now we had the twelve team playoff. As we've gone
more towards subjectivity and more towards at large bids for
a playoff, Really it was just about how many wins
can you accumulate, So the non conference schedules were getting
(37:29):
worse and worse and worse. If you go back to
the middle of the nineties, right and you look at
some of the teams that won national championships, You look
at USC schedule back in the day, or Colorado where
I went, and the non conference was littered with great games,
great games, and we in large part don't have that anymore.
We'll have one off site we'll have next week at
Ohio State Texas, but getting back to some semblance where
(37:52):
everybody is playing a similar conference schedule makeup will increase
the number of non conference games that they're willing to play,
and that we will seeing college football, which is going
to be better for the fans. And that's ultimately I
think what we what we fail to realize in this
sport is it still should be about the fans. We
care so much about what's going on with the structure
of this and that, and really the lifeblood of college
(38:14):
football are the people that are going to go out
there and they're gonna sit in the stands and they're
gonna care about it, and they're gonna put on the
gear and they're going to root for those brands, and
we can't leave those people behind. I think it's been
a remiss of the sport to not take care of
the fans. I think there's too many neutral site games,
there's not enough big games, and hopefully we can get
back to that.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
The you know, they have this playoff committee that does
a weekly show, and it's very odd because they paint
themselves into a corner. Yeah, and when it's time to
slot all of that, they paint themselves in luxury matt
They do the Newport Coast matt.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Down. That's right.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
How much like, it doesn't feel like they have a
ton of power. Yet they're the ones selecting the team,
so then it feels like they've got a lot of power.
But how easy is it to remedy this Like last year, Look,
it's a lot of my family went there, but just
to boot Indiana out, say hey, sorry, your non conference
was terrible, you don't get to get in.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Same with that Sea.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Let's say they go on a run and they're like, no,
Missouri State and Georgia State, you don't get to get in.
That's just the way this works is do they not
have the power to do that?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Well, they've been talking about different criteria that they could use.
I personally believe that if we just leave this in
the power of thirteen people in a boardroom, that it's
never going to be great. Think, I think we need
to move more towards an access based model and not
a selection based model meaning computer well no, I mean
like slotting. I think every conference should have a certain
(39:38):
number of bids into the postseason and then you would
know exactly what you need to do in conference play
in order to qualify for the postseason. And so that
qualification or access just easy seats, right, they're easy to see,
and then we can get rid of the committey. I
think the committee has been really bad for the sport
personally because of the subjectivity and the secrecy of what
goes on. Right, and there's also some element of like
(39:59):
are they buy are they biased towards a television network?
Are they biased toward a conference? And we can get
rid of that in full stop if we move toward
an access based model.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Great, the Great Joe Klatt, ladies and gentlemen straight out
of low cash actually are Vada, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
That's right, a town baby.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
He's the guy that got Dion Sanders hired at Colorado
and everybody said, everybody said he was a fool. And
now look, they've been the biggest story in college football
for two years. Before we stop talking about the big
structure thing, We're going to have a twenty fourteen playoff
here pretty soon, aren't we.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Well.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That was proposed by the Big Ten, and they proposed it.
It's kind of a spin off of another proposal that
they had made for a sixteen team playoff with play
in games within conferences. I actually, listen, nothing's gonna happen
unless Greg Sanky, the SEC he's the commissioner there, and
Tony Petiti, the commissioner of the Big Ten.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Agree.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
If those two don't agree, then nothing's going to change.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
What do you want?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I would rather something along the Big Ten model, which
is access based again, because then you can well, I
don't necessarily love twenty four, although I see how it
could work. I just want here's what I want. I
want fans to be more engaged in the month of November.
I don't want there to be only four or five
or six teams that were looking at being playing meaningful
(41:18):
games late into the season. So the more teams that
we can have playing meaningful games, I think it's better
for the sport and it's better for the fans. So
somewhere near that twenty four. I know that it sounds large,
but in practice I think it's something that could potentially work.
But again, it has to be for me. It has
to be more about qualification. How do you qualify for
the playoffs rather than being selected to go?
Speaker 4 (41:38):
Joel will be the commissioner of the Big Ten one day,
or the ad at Colorado, one of these things. But
it's interesting, Joel, because let's say you're NBC Sports and
you paid I don't know, fifty million dollars for the
rights to all.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
This regular season style. It's more and whatever that.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
Yeah, you played one hundred million, two hundred million, trillion,
trillion dollars, but now there's gonna be a twelve to fourteen,
twenty five team whatever playoff and it devalues your regular season?
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Do you get a piece of the playoffs? How does
that work?
Speaker 6 (42:12):
You know?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
I I'm not figuring out. I know it's Come on, commissioner,
it would be better like the NFL, if all the
television partners that were involved, or how to steak in
college football? Also how to stake in the post.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
I want to see you call the semi final. That
would be great.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
I would love that. I would love to do that.
Hell a Sun Bowl, Oh we don't in El Paso.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
That's unfortunately, yes, right, so I said, can't you just
take the one away from them? They get one, you
get one everybody else. That's everything.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I would also be concerned about the devaluing of the
regular season, which which this is why I'll keep going
back to, Like if we knew that let's say the
top four or five teams were going to be in
a play in weekend or a first round tight style
weekend in the playoff. Well, then now you know how
to qualify. And I actually think it would increase the
(43:04):
value of the regular season because let's just say in
the month of November November fifth, USC is gonna play
I don't know who they're playing that week, but let's
just say they're playing like Washington and neither of them
are going to go to the conference championship game. So
now it doesn't feel like a huge game. It's like
USC in Washington. That's great, But what if it was like, hey,
winner was going to be in the five spot in
(43:25):
the Big ten. Yeah, and now it's really big. And
I think that's a way to actually with the twelve team.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
I was doing, my god, a Washington State New Mexico
game late in the year, and believe it or not,
you know, it did have We could say it had
playoff implications.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Absolutely, And I think the more games that we put
under that umbrella, the better. And that's that's that's a
way to value or increase the value for a package
like NBC has last one for me Joel just or
maybe it's not, I don't know. We can keep it going.
NFL based.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
You got two teams that people in town like an
awful lot too high draft picks, both running backs, and
it's starting lean to a little bit more of a
physical league running backs or back in fashion. So what
about Ashton gent and Amari and Hampton and the kind
of impacts you think they can make on the Chargers
and the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
I think that they're going to have tremendous impact. I
think that more so the Hampton one, not in comparison
just to Genty, It's just that, here's the thing, Petros,
you covered him for years. I covered him for years.
Jim Harball will work with the Chargers. It is going
to happen. There is not a doubt in my mind.
He's built and won everywhere that he's been in large
(44:30):
part due to that run game. And so if you
tell me you're gonna give Jim Harball Morian Hampton, you're
going to allow him to continue to build at the
line of scrimmage, He's going to make a run. There's
not a doubt in my mind. In the next year,

Speaker 3 (14:12):
We love the local politicians.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Come on, I got a Chargers fan here.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Exactly right, Chuck.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Now, John, what does a man do after.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
He was mayor for four and a half years? What
do you go into do you try to go into
into the supervisor State Assembly to try to go take
out a contusion in a in a irvine? Like?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
How do you what do you do? How do you
do things? Well?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
You know, So I'm a business trial lawyer at a
firm called FBFK plug for my firm based in Doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
So you're a lawyer. Yeah, you're a lawyer, and you're
the mayor of.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Coachtin absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
They call me the bald spot of Justice.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yes, we can get beside that.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
So yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
So anyhow, that's what I do for a living, and
the mayor thing is just kind of public service that
I do. I used to coach baseball and softball and
then I got in to public service, got elected in
twenty sixteen. I've been the mayor for four and a
half years.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Well, it turns out all representatives are supposed to be
public service, John, That's what it's supposed to be. And
that's why we like doing it at the local level
because it is public service.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
That's all it is, exactly. I don't do it for
the money.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
God knows.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah you get do you get? Do you get?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Like a lot of flak if you're if you're doing
too much lawyering and not enough mayoring.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I mean, how much do you have to balance out
your time?
Speaker 6 (15:26):
No, nobody gives me any flaks. So it's like it's
about a thirty about It's been about thirty hours a
week on it, and then I got a full time job.
And if anybody's going to give me flak, it's my
law firm, the city. The city gets plenty of my time.
And but it's fun. It's to me, it's a joy,
and it's a wonderful thing to do. And it's great
to be the ambassador for Coast to Mason. Welcome all
the great people and Petros and Money. I never thought
(15:48):
i'd meet Petros and Money.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yet here we are.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Send you guys, yet here we are, we are so inaccessible,
and yet on the same stage in Coast of Messa
we meet. Here's here's a question. I got look, politics
at the local level a lot different than what people
think about when it comes to politics. What what would
you say, like in terms of running the city? You know,
is it is it a traffic light? Is it streets sweeping?
(16:11):
What is the one thing that really is it parking tickets?
What stokes the ire of those one hundred and twelve
thousand people here in Coasta Mesa that you've been able
to resolve? They said, fix this forest, Mayor Stevens, and
you said, I got you Coast.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
To Oas, Oh my goodness, will you threw a twist
in there at the end that I would be able
to resolve it. I think the thing that's on people's
mind more than anything else in Coast to Mason this
area is the price of housing.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Okay, So what.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
We're what we're trying to do is create more supply
and bring the rents down. You know, people are basically
saying the rents too high, and.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Rent's too damn high.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
When the rent's too high, it ripples, and before you know,
we have an issue with homelessness. We did in my
term establish a homeless shelter, and we've we've housed almost
five hundred people from the streets, from the streets to
permanent housing. Beautiful, all the things I've done. I think
that's the thing I'm most proud of.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
John.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
If Costa Mesa had one rival city, one city that
it really wants to stick it to, I don't know
if that's cypress Or or Garden.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Grove or Irvine, Santa Anna.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You know, what is your number one rival?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Like?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Who do you when you guys have like an Orange
County city track meet or field day or whatever it is, Like, who,
who's your big rival? Well, we're a sports show. Well,
you know, we're all about competition. Newport Beach, I would say. So,
you know, you know Will O'Neil, the former mayor of Beach.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Everybody knows Will.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
So he and I had a competition. It was the
mayor the Mayor's Cup, and was a series of drinking games,
ton of games, drinking games in trivia and and a
cappella singing, and and he beat Meal. He beat me
in the drinking games, and I learned something is never
bet on a drinking game. With an irishman. It was
(17:52):
not O'Neil. Boy, that guy could Will O'Neil, who's not
the chairman of the Republican Party in Orange County, And
that guy can chug it beer better than I think
any elected official.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Now, you don't do you surf? I mean you're a
mile from the I mean, don't you have some wappy hobbies? Well?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
I pull well, I play golf. I play a lot
of golf. I play the back nine all the time, and.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I out there.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Yeah, I always. I always try in the back nine
to at least Coast of Mesa Country Club.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I try to.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
I try to shoot my waistline on the back nine.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Well done.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
If I If I can't make it to the driving range,
I just have a bowl of ice cream.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
So we have a yogurt land here.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Oh yeah, they're great. I love New Love yogurt Land.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Because it's hot.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Oh yeah, it's a hot day for Coasta Mesa. We
do have some Coast to Mesa breeze. But we have
like the best weather I think maybe in the world.
Do we have the best weather in the world in
the world.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Southern California, no doubt, is a big part of that.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
As hot as it is here in Coasta Mesa.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
People, it's everywhere else, that's right. People would be clapping harder,
but they're dying of heated. Yeah, it's a little hot today.
It's a little hot today.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
Well, we're in a little bit of an enclosed area
for the listeners. We're in an enclosed area, so you
can't get get the breeze, can't get the full Coast
to Mesa breeze off the Mesa.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
For you cutting, just last one from me, John, and
we appreciate John Stevens, Mayor of Coast to Mesa. We
love the public ceremonies. Giant scissors, a red or a
gold ribbon, last ribbon cutting? Did you cut the ribbon
for Akia? What's the last ribbon cutting? Y?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Yes, today I did Goodwill which is on the on
that on the corner of Mesa Verdi and and uh
and and Harbor Boulevard. And you know there's a technique
to the ribbon cutting. It's all in the wrist, So
whoever cuts it is one thing, but you gotta lift
it up and make it fly for the effect, pull
it tight so it's got a beautiful photo. Some people,
(19:41):
some people, they don't do that and they just let
the ribbon go. Limp.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You never want to that opportunity.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
You do not want to limp written, No, you don't.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Not a limp rist it scissors, No, no.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
You want to. You can have a limp wrist, but
you can't have a limp ribbon.

Joining us right now on your Southern California Toyota Dealer
celebrity headset. The number one most elusive guest in the
history of the Petrosen Money Show. If you thought Barry
Sanders could escape the grasp of a defender, you have
no idea what Joel Clatt can do.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He is oh when Tim Kates comes looking.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
One of the great voices, if not the best, most honest,
unencumbered voice in all of college football there is. He
is a hero to us all his lifestyle, his frankness,
his overall decency. The Great Joel Klatt. I'm not even kidding.
(23:25):
He's a wonderful guy. And he does every single big
game including Ohio State Michigan watched by billions of people
every year billim on Big Fox billions. He will be
a week from Saturday live at the Horseshoe, Texas Ohio
State Big Noon kickoff, the absolute college football game of
(23:48):
the year.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
In the opener.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
He has built an incredible career working at Fox out
of Colorado, Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Joel Klatty, Thank you, buddy. Now, Joel,
it's good to be here. It's great to have you.
You brought your boys. It's wonderful to see the Clatt boys.
That's right, Henry, Sam and THEO are over there, looking
strong and excited about the van's promotion. Have you ever
(24:12):
i mean, you've lived in Orange County now about what
eight years?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
And and have you ever been here to the Van's headquarter.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
We've never been to the headquarters, so this is a
treat first time here.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It's a very nice place.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Now, first and foremost Texas.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah, Arch Manning guys never really started a game except
for one against Louisiana Monroe.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
What do you expect as far as I mean, there's.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Fanfare, and there's all the excitement, and there's every show
between last year and this year. But it's just gonna
be a football game. And the guy's got to do it.
He's got ten guys out there with him. What's gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well, I mean, and here's the thing is, like, you
don't generally beat top five teams on the road. It
just doesn't happen right in college football. And yet here's
this guy with limited starting experience, but because of the
name on his back, there's expectations like we've never really
seen for a guy that's really the first time starter
Heisman front runner. And I would tell you, like, I'm
(25:08):
also expecting big things from March. I think Archs could
be one of the best players in college football. He
reminds me a lot of Trevor Lawrence when Lawrence was
at Clemson, because he's got that athleticism more of his
grandfather rather than his uncles. His uncles couldn't run at all.
Peyton looked like he was playing in cement shoes, right,
you know, but here's Arch and he's taken off on
the outside. I think that this guy could could have
(25:29):
an incredible year, and in particular because of the family
that he came from. Remember, this is going to be
a massive game at Ohio State. And yet I don't
think that he's going to be overwhelmed at all because
think of the environments that he's been in his whole life,
just as a fan, watching his uncles play and being
around this sport. Heck, Thanksgiving dinner in the Manning House
is an event, right, So this guy, I don't think
(25:50):
he's going to be too overwhelmed with the stage that
he has facing the Buckeyes next week.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
How you mentioned top five team on the road, they
lose a lot, I think, right, Ohio State? Yeah, so
fourteen draft picks, fourteen draft picks, Yeah, so kind of.
There's still a top five team though, and they are
the defending champs, So how good are they? And I
guess I'll spin that into a local question. How good
is the Big Ten?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Like?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
How tough of a row is this going to be
for USC and UCLA or is it okay?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
This year?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I think the top of the Big Ten is the
best in college football when you look at I think
that there are three top five teams just out of
the Big Ten in Oregon, Penn State, and Ohio State.
Then you've got probably Clemson in Texas right there in
Alabama and Georgia kind of right on the outside of
that looking in. So the top of the Big Ten
is as elite as you can possibly get in college
(26:40):
football right now. The middle of the SEC is probably
a little bit better than the middle of the Big Ten.
But I will say this, I think that the road
for UCLA specifically is very difficult. And then for USC,
USC is a team that I gotta be honest, like,
they should not be in this situation, right, you know,
be a better program with the rules set up how
(27:02):
it is uh in college football, with the freedom of
movement for players, with the ability to spend money. There's
no reason that USC should be a seven win team.
There's just none whatsoever. So they need to pick it up,
to put it frankly, and it's gonna be difficult. The
key game for USC, I think the entire season hinges
on their early game against Illinois. If they can beat Illinois, yeah,
(27:24):
that's right, which which could be difficult is Illinois coming
out here? No, it's a champagne the ghosts.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And then right, and then the ghost of ray Nichi
kicks you in the ribs.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
That's all right.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
How do you like that, Lincoln? That's gonna be tough
for them.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I don't think there's no buzz about USC going the year.
The buzz is about a recruiting class coming in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, in a transfer portal era? What are we doing
out here?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I mean, shoot you, you could talk for hours on this.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I'm sure I were the Dodger station. Here's here.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I boil it down. I boil it down to I mean, listen,
there's there's countless things that you could you could talk
about with USC, and and are their problems. Absolutely, there's
no doubt that there's problems. I boil it down on
the field to one thing. Lincoln Riley's success at Oklahoma.
The reason that he was so successful and they were
a perennial playoff team and won the Big Twelve every
single year is because they were balanced and they were
(28:19):
able to run the football. You and I talked about
that at length all the time and covered those teams
at OU they would run the ball for two hundred
and eighty two hundred and eighty five three hundred yards at
some points on average, guys like Rodney Anderson and Trey
Sermon before he transferred to Ohio State. And that's not
what we see out of us C. What we what
we see out of USC right now, And and this
(28:41):
is a knock, by the way, this is not They
have turned into what was kind of like a Texas
Tech Mike Leach team where they just throw the football
and I don't think you can win at the top
end they evolved unless you can win at the line
of scrimmage. And and that's something that you've been harping
on for a year.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
How far are they because USC, the Big Ten is
supposed to be like Ohio State. Yeah, and it's laughable
to say that, Like it's you say that and you
can't say it with a straight face because you go
to the Horseshoe and you call what fifteen games a
year there?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You know, I should just get an apartment in.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Seriously, you guys all should. But I mean, how far
is that gap huge?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Right now? I don't think you know, in good conscious
you can't even rank USC right now with with where
they're at and and Ohio State is a class in
and of their their own. When you think about Ohio State,
here's what's wild about this. They do not take a
dip for forever, decades upon decades, and every single year
(29:40):
they're at the top of college football. And we've seen
USC and again, like there's actually way less excellence at
USC in their history than there is excellence. There's big
pockets of dips at USC, and then they'll raise up
and be really good for a couple of years and
then they take, you know, a huge dips again. And
(30:01):
we're in one of those dips right now.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
We're a lack of consistency since Pete Carroll left, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well and even before what are you talking about talking about?
Speaker 5 (30:10):
What about the guy that came from Notre Dame, Joel
to try to help him out. I mean, you look
at Notre Dame and there was a window there when
they weren't doing anything, you know, and now they're in
the playoff. Last year, they make a run. Last year,
they feel like they're in the top ten year in
and year out. How much of it was that guy
that they brought in to be their general how much
can we replicate that success?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Here?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Do you do? Remind me that Bowden?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
There you go? So okay, so this is really nerdy,
but let's get nerdy, all right, I mean that's like
my whole mo. They're like, yeah, ex give me a
nerdy stat. Okay, So here we go. Notre Dame under
Brian Kelly could not win a national championship, really even
compete for a national championship. Yes, they went, but they
were so miles behind that Alabama team in twenty twelve.
(30:54):
And when you looked at the caliber player in class
that Brian Kelly was recruiting at Notre Dame, he was
getting about a player at an average about eighty nine
and a half. Right, that was the player rating that
they were recruiting. Well, Marcus Freeman has taken that up
to about ninety one and a half. A lot of
that was Bowden or Boden. However, he pronounce his name
and so for me.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Pronounced his dad was the guy that built all those
Cincinnati Reds team. Jim Dad was a.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
His dad was a GM and now he was in
large part is responsible for that uptick in quality at
Notre Dame to a point where let's be real honest,
like Notre Dame pushed Georgia around. They were just a
better team over the Bulldogs in last year's playoff. And
now he's going to be coming into us and be
asked to do that. And by the way, in large
(31:42):
part he's doing that, you won't see it really on
the field because it's a recruiting class, like you said,
Petros for next twenty six.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Yeah, what about UCLA, Like what are their chances in
a conference with Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin. Like
it's just like you said, USC should be able to
fight with them. It's just hard to envision you see
getting any traction in that.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I'm a big fan of Alava. I think he got
kind of a bad rap at Tennessee. Tennessee was able to,
they were able to basically people excited about that. That
was a one sided pr campaign and this kid wasn't
able to tell his side of the story. How about
the fact that it wasn't necessarily all about money? You
know how I know that he took less to be
(32:22):
at UCLA. A lot of it had to do with
the fact that the offense wasn't an offense that he
felt like would develop him for the National Football League.
The reason that that is is because Josh Heipel at
Tennessee runs the old Art Briles offense. Remember that Baylor offense.
The old Art Briles offense, choice traps with wide receivers,
and none of the quarterbacks that came from that offense
(32:42):
really developed into great NFL players. He wanted to develop
into an NFL player. He went through spring ball, the
offense did not progress like he wanted it to in
terms of its style and the way and its depth,
and he looked for another spot. So I think that
UCLA is is actually a lot better than people give
(33:03):
them credit. If you look at the way they played
late last year and now bring in that quarterback. I
think DeShawn is a really good football coach. He might
not give the like most profound interview or Prescott's little
rock with the media right now. Just because he's uncomfortable
with the media doesn't mean the whole team hast That's
exactly right, that's exactly But I do think that UCLA
(33:24):
is a good I think that they could win seven
games this year.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Take that we do have a sports talk radio show,
so that that is what this is you know, we
do have a great band and we got a great
party going. But we would be remiss not to keep
Joel for one more second.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
That Joel, you're stuck.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Stuff. The boys are all right, nor nerdy staff.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Now we're going to talk about something that has happened,
sismic change in the world of college football that just
happened yesterday that Joel has been yelling for from the rooftops, screaming, howling.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Thirty two team playoffs.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
No, No, we'll get into that too.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
SEC's fight to play nine games.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yes, and we will discuss it.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Next we'll have a wider conversation with a great college
football mind and man, one of the top analysts and
football in the world. Fox Sports Joel Klatt. One more segment.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
We are in our first hour, and our guest, Joel Klatt,
has stuck around for one more segment and then he
will take the Clatt Boys back to their home and
the Newport Coast until uh he will be in the
hole a week from beautiful, glorious, and my next door
(36:14):
neighbor's a guy that invented quicksilver.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
It's the best, uh, Joel.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Overall, Uh, there's been a lot of change in college football. Yeah,
I mean you and I have been involved in college
football for about twenty years and playing before that, and
the sport has changed more in those years that it
did in the century before. But it looks like with
what happened yesterday that we're starting to get a little
(36:39):
bit more uniformity, a little bit more continuity.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
And I didn't think we were going to get there.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
No, I mean, the SEC made the announcement yesterday that
they're going to start playing nine conference games rather than
the eight conference games that they've been playing. That's right,
that's that is that's gonna be great for college football.
They've also made a stipulation and agreed to schedule at
least one power for non conference game against one of
the other powerful conferences. That's going to be great as well.
(37:07):
One of the things that we've seen as college football
moved away from just a regular bowl games and then
crowning a champion, and then all of a sudden, we
had the BCS and then we had the four team playoff.
Now we had the twelve team playoff. As we've gone
more towards subjectivity and more towards at large bids for
a playoff, Really it was just about how many wins
can you accumulate, So the non conference schedules were getting
(37:29):
worse and worse and worse. If you go back to
the middle of the nineties, right and you look at
some of the teams that won national championships, You look
at USC schedule back in the day, or Colorado where
I went, and the non conference was littered with great games,
great games, and we in large part don't have that anymore.
We'll have one off site we'll have next week at
Ohio State Texas, but getting back to some semblance where
(37:52):
everybody is playing a similar conference schedule makeup will increase
the number of non conference games that they're willing to play,
and that we will seeing college football, which is going
to be better for the fans. And that's ultimately I
think what we what we fail to realize in this
sport is it still should be about the fans. We
care so much about what's going on with the structure
of this and that, and really the lifeblood of college
(38:14):
football are the people that are going to go out
there and they're gonna sit in the stands and they're
gonna care about it, and they're gonna put on the
gear and they're going to root for those brands, and
we can't leave those people behind. I think it's been
a remiss of the sport to not take care of
the fans. I think there's too many neutral site games,
there's not enough big games, and hopefully we can get
back to that.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
The you know, they have this playoff committee that does
a weekly show, and it's very odd because they paint
themselves into a corner. Yeah, and when it's time to
slot all of that, they paint themselves in luxury matt
They do the Newport Coast matt.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Down. That's right.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
How much like, it doesn't feel like they have a
ton of power. Yet they're the ones selecting the team,
so then it feels like they've got a lot of power.
But how easy is it to remedy this Like last year, Look,
it's a lot of my family went there, but just
to boot Indiana out, say hey, sorry, your non conference
was terrible, you don't get to get in.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Same with that Sea.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Let's say they go on a run and they're like, no,
Missouri State and Georgia State, you don't get to get in.
That's just the way this works is do they not
have the power to do that?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Well, they've been talking about different criteria that they could use.
I personally believe that if we just leave this in
the power of thirteen people in a boardroom, that it's
never going to be great. Think, I think we need
to move more towards an access based model and not
a selection based model meaning computer well no, I mean
like slotting. I think every conference should have a certain
(39:38):
number of bids into the postseason and then you would
know exactly what you need to do in conference play
in order to qualify for the postseason. And so that
qualification or access just easy seats, right, they're easy to see,
and then we can get rid of the committey. I
think the committee has been really bad for the sport
personally because of the subjectivity and the secrecy of what
goes on. Right, and there's also some element of like
(39:59):
are they buy are they biased towards a television network?
Are they biased toward a conference? And we can get
rid of that in full stop if we move toward
an access based model.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Great, the Great Joe Klatt, ladies and gentlemen straight out
of low cash actually are Vada, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
That's right, a town baby.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
He's the guy that got Dion Sanders hired at Colorado
and everybody said, everybody said he was a fool. And
now look, they've been the biggest story in college football
for two years. Before we stop talking about the big
structure thing, We're going to have a twenty fourteen playoff
here pretty soon, aren't we.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Well.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That was proposed by the Big Ten, and they proposed it.
It's kind of a spin off of another proposal that
they had made for a sixteen team playoff with play
in games within conferences. I actually, listen, nothing's gonna happen
unless Greg Sanky, the SEC he's the commissioner there, and
Tony Petiti, the commissioner of the Big Ten.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Agree.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
If those two don't agree, then nothing's going to change.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
What do you want?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I would rather something along the Big Ten model, which
is access based again, because then you can well, I
don't necessarily love twenty four, although I see how it
could work. I just want here's what I want. I
want fans to be more engaged in the month of November.
I don't want there to be only four or five
or six teams that were looking at being playing meaningful
(41:18):
games late into the season. So the more teams that
we can have playing meaningful games, I think it's better
for the sport and it's better for the fans. So
somewhere near that twenty four. I know that it sounds large,
but in practice I think it's something that could potentially work.
But again, it has to be for me. It has
to be more about qualification. How do you qualify for
the playoffs rather than being selected to go?
Speaker 4 (41:38):
Joel will be the commissioner of the Big Ten one day,
or the ad at Colorado, one of these things. But
it's interesting, Joel, because let's say you're NBC Sports and
you paid I don't know, fifty million dollars for the
rights to all.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
This regular season style. It's more and whatever that.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
Yeah, you played one hundred million, two hundred million, trillion,
trillion dollars, but now there's gonna be a twelve to fourteen,
twenty five team whatever playoff and it devalues your regular season?
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Do you get a piece of the playoffs? How does
that work?
Speaker 6 (42:12):
You know?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
I I'm not figuring out. I know it's Come on, commissioner,
it would be better like the NFL, if all the
television partners that were involved, or how to steak in
college football? Also how to stake in the post.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
I want to see you call the semi final. That
would be great.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
I would love that. I would love to do that.
Hell a Sun Bowl, Oh we don't in El Paso.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
That's unfortunately, yes, right, so I said, can't you just
take the one away from them? They get one, you
get one everybody else. That's everything.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I would also be concerned about the devaluing of the
regular season, which which this is why I'll keep going
back to, Like if we knew that let's say the
top four or five teams were going to be in
a play in weekend or a first round tight style
weekend in the playoff. Well, then now you know how
to qualify. And I actually think it would increase the
(43:04):
value of the regular season because let's just say in
the month of November November fifth, USC is gonna play
I don't know who they're playing that week, but let's
just say they're playing like Washington and neither of them
are going to go to the conference championship game. So
now it doesn't feel like a huge game. It's like
USC in Washington. That's great, But what if it was like, hey,
winner was going to be in the five spot in
(43:25):
the Big ten. Yeah, and now it's really big. And
I think that's a way to actually with the twelve team.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
I was doing, my god, a Washington State New Mexico
game late in the year, and believe it or not,
you know, it did have We could say it had
playoff implications.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Absolutely, And I think the more games that we put
under that umbrella, the better. And that's that's that's a
way to value or increase the value for a package
like NBC has last one for me Joel just or
maybe it's not, I don't know. We can keep it going.
NFL based.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
You got two teams that people in town like an
awful lot too high draft picks, both running backs, and
it's starting lean to a little bit more of a
physical league running backs or back in fashion. So what
about Ashton gent and Amari and Hampton and the kind
of impacts you think they can make on the Chargers
and the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
I think that they're going to have tremendous impact. I
think that more so the Hampton one, not in comparison
just to Genty, It's just that, here's the thing, Petros,
you covered him for years. I covered him for years.
Jim Harball will work with the Chargers. It is going
to happen. There is not a doubt in my mind.
He's built and won everywhere that he's been in large
(44:30):
part due to that run game. And so if you
tell me you're gonna give Jim Harball Morian Hampton, you're
going to allow him to continue to build at the
line of scrimmage, He's going to make a run. There's
not a doubt in my mind. In the next year,
two or three, he's gonna be in an AFC Championship
game with the Chargers with Justin Herbert, and they're gonna
be one of the best teams in the National Football League.
I like that.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
Answer, Joe klat ladies and gentlemen, a prince in the
world of college football.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Thanks for having me, fellows, Thanks for coming out. This
has been fun.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
Huge win at Ohio State a week from Saturday. We're
carrying that game on the station as well, carrying carrying
all the games on the station. We love Joel Clatto
and the Clatt brand boom. We didn't get to get
to the Deon Sanders in Colorado, but he's not gonna
be a stranger. He's gonna join us again. That's right
(45:17):
before the season is over. But what a guy to
show up and spend time with us in the sun.

like in the booth. That's very awkward.
Speaker 5 (45:36):

win the big green egg in the back.
