Booth has the action at seven point fifteen. Dodgers on
Deck at six with Tim Kats and David Vassay shared
with this a little bit earlier. He's got Freddy Freeman
on his birthday. That will be his guest for Dodgers
on Deck. Dodgers up two and a half on the
padres in the NL West with sixteen games to play.
(01:09):
Padres played yesterday gotta win over the Rockies while the
Dodgers were off. It's Yamamoto back on the mound tonight,
following his eight and two thirds of no hit ball
and a game he ended up losing somehow thanks to
the bullpen in Baltimore. So huge ten games stretch here.
We've talked about it repeatedly. Ten days, ten games, seven
of them against the Giants, of which the first starts
(01:31):
tonight Yamamoto versus Justin Verlander.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Very exciting baseball action. Speaking of baseball, Matt, I have
the concierges of the sports Lodge, a real baseball play
by play man sitting here in the booth with me,
Trent Rush, who's going to be calling the game tomorrow.
And I want you to know that it's really awkward
between him and I. When Roger Lodge calls him and
(01:55):
asks him for stuff. It's like I'm like a you know,
It's like I'm like a like a mistress or something.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
You know?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Or does Roger follow you or is it just a
sports Lodge likely run by Trent that follows you.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Do you follow me on Twitter? Through the sports Lodge
Trent or is that Roger himself? That is Lodge? Oh wow,
And that happened last year when we started calling fibers together.
He started wanting to monitor me. Yeah, Trent.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Trent was like, hey, he's a good guy. How about
how about bygones?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Trent is a very uh, Trent is a really really
nice guy. Like he works with Krasca on Channel eleven
and all that, that guy that got shot you know,
And I'm like, dude, how weird.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Is that guy?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And Trent's like, no, he's all right, you know, he's
you know, he's thirty two. He's got a good attitude.
Hold what I mean, He's not like us, No, who
are on my way to death? The bitterness is real
when it comes to us, and Trent really does. He's
been a he's at a front row seat to how
uh how I am not a road curveball hitter, just
(02:59):
just not a curveball hitter on the road. But I've
had some bad luck today. You got to admit now.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, some created by you yourself, others created by your
travel department. The sox situation, sock situation is your own creation.
But the travel company not calling the hotel and saying, hey,
we're holding this room. He's going to be there at
eight am.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Not you know, they didn't even have a room book
for Trent. He had to wait a half hour while
somebody scoured a room and set him up there.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Not cool.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, we are very unhappy here.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yes, Tim, Two questions about your play by a play partner,
Trent rus sports lot. If he couldn't get if he
couldn't get a room, would you let him bump up
in your room and let.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Him be in my room with me? Yeah? Yeah, but he.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Wouldn't Okay, I say, would he come in the room.
That's the next question. All right, And let's say Trent, what.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Would have happened if he didn't get a room? There
would have been a frantic uh, like just calling the
airstrike Vietnam style call the Fox travel trying to move
us to the Marriotte here in town.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Ah, all right. Second question, if let's say he.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Was my I was like a pubic hair away from
making that call. All right, up there.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Yeah, let's say he goes into his bag.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I know how much people appreciate the misfortune of my
my track, like the fact that I can't handle these
things like people are supposed to handle them, and there's
no weed here anyway? Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Let's say he goes into his No, there's no weed.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The hell, let's not here, is it.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Let's say Trent goes into his bag, go to a.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Soda jerk and the door wouldn't even open. Go ahead, Kate.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Let's say Trent goes into his bag and he's like, oh, man,
I need some socks for tonight's big broadcast on FS one.
Would you be like, hey, I got two extra pair
of socks, but I watched the twenty bucks or is
you said under the store, No, I would let him
have one pair of my twenty dollars have him or
charge of twenty bucks. They venmoment twenty of them for free.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
You're the only one that would charge someone for socks, Kates,
You are the only one of them.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well him in the store I went to earlier today.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Well there's that. But I do think if Trent were
to have forgotten an extra pair of socks, he would
probably have been just fine wearing the socks he's wearing
today tomorrow, As.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Would you had have got that? Would you have bought
new socks or would you have doubled up on your socks.
You wouldn't have bought new socks.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You're the only he knows though, But he's got a pair.
It's not like he socked lists. He's got today for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
They look like their three corner ankle socks to their
super dorky. Oh he's down.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That foo is not down. The higher the socks, the
down of the fool. All right, it is h his
words the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Today's word of the day is Australian News.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It's Kip and this is Petros and money's Australian News.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
One thing we love about Australia, Matt. One of my
favorite things, well, my favorite story, well, I do love
the Digerido, but my favorite story ever out of Australia
is the one where the lady was cycling somewhere and
she was attacked by a kangaroo and it punted her
chest with both legs and broke both her depressed. But
(06:25):
my second favorite Australian story out there, other than the
Alpaca lava guy, is the fact that there's a terrible,
terrible VD problem amongst koala bears. A lot of people
don't realize this. They have terrible chlamydia problems in Australia
(06:46):
with the koalas. Now, obviously it's not going to stop
them from effing. But the koalas get they go blind,
like if you're touching, that's what happens here and logan,
if you touch yourself too much, they go blind, they die,
they go crazy on the chlamydia. But now it's going
(07:12):
to be okay. All we got to do is get
these koalas to the CVS because a regulator has approved
the world's first vaccine to protect koalas from chlamydia infections.
These infections cause infertility, it still doesn't stop them from ethan.
It's a single dose. It was developed by a university
(07:33):
on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland after more of a
decade of chlamydia research, and it reduces the likelihood of
koalas developing symptoms in chlamydia during breeding age, decreased mortality
from the disease in wild populations by at least sixty
five percent. So now all somebody's got to do is
(07:57):
go around and shoot up all the koalas with like
a like a blow.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Dart, right, get them their medication.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
And eradicate chlamydia and the koala population forever.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Resources are being spent on vaccinating koalas, but some say
that those resources should be redirected at saving the koala's habitat,
you know, planting more eucalyptus and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
So it's either afflicted with chlamydia and you got more
eucalyptus trees to eat your eucalyptus, or yeah, maybe you're
not eating as much and you don't have to worry
about going blind and that uncontrollable burning sensation between your legs.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But no, one lady, one lady doesn't think shit they'll
be able to do all this, She says, at the
risk of sounding flippant, how can anybody be South delesion
As to think that you can vaccinate one hundred thousand animals.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's just ridiculous, fair point. Yeah, it's not like they're
going to line up for you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh, maybe word gets out, you know, the word gets
out of can you spread the word?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Chlemydia is one of the key stresses in koala life.
So that is the news out of Australia. We will
follow up to see how they're doing as far as
getting the vaccination distributed to the Koala population. You know,
they might be saying, look, I'll take the vaccination, but
I'm my Koala kids, you know. And then you might say, well,
(09:42):
I want to let these Koalas in Australia school if
they're not. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know we've all lived. We'll see what happened. Here's
my number. Number of the day. Number of the day
pe is four. Number of the day is four? Why four?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I forgot week one to pick the games because I
have that trip to Brazil. Forgot the you Thursday night football? Yeah,
I forgot, which is a bummer. I would have laid
the points. I mean, our pick six was all over
the pack and all unders for the Commanders. So let's
see if I can get this right and carry what
I believe in my inside not my outside, to be
(10:18):
a little bit of momentum coming off of last night.
We start with the Patriots plus one and a half
in Miami. Some may be scared off. Are the Dolphins
really that bad? The Patriots could not move the ball
on a Raiders defense that a lot of folks don't
think is that great on the back end. We heard
rumblings about how bad things were in Miami in the offseason.
Jalen Ramsey reportedly flat out refused to play for Mike
(10:39):
McDaniel again, and that Tyreek Hill was already belly aching.
He's now got a domestic violence investigation on his play.
Tuo was the worst quarterback in Week one. I'm gonna
go stability and upside and take the one and a
half points and expect the Patriots to win. The Bengals
are a great offense, but they're not the Ravens. They're
not Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson. The Bills got steamroll.
(11:02):
Is the Browns defense better than Buffalo's, perhaps, but their
offense is certainly nowhere near what Josh Allen is putting
out there. So laying eleven and a half is not
the greatest idea in an NFL game, And apparently the
Browns are very upset about being near two touchdown underdogs.
But whatever, I'll lay it. The zero and one Ravens
(11:23):
for three and a half quarters looked like a buzzsaw
that was going to carve its way through the AFC
to Super Bowl sixty in San Francisco. So I will
take the biggest favorite of the week and Derek Henry
to pick up where he left off was somewhere around
one hundred and fifty yards and two touchdowns. I will
lay the I will lay the points eleven and a half.
I'll also lay the points with the Rams in Tennessee.
The Rams defense held the Texans to single digits and
(11:45):
they got CJ. Stroud, Nico Collins, and Dalton Schultz out there.
Cam Ward and the Titans don't and they did not
have anything working against the Broncos for fifty minutes of
that game. So I figure a much easier defense to
attack than Houston's. Matt Stafford, Sean mcvayh get back on track,
find their rhythm with new wide out DeVante Adams. I
will lay the five and a half, take the Rams
(12:07):
by a touchdown. And yes, it got ugly in the
second half against Minnesota as the Viking started carving up
that Bears defense. But Kevin O'Connell's one of the best
play callers and best offensive coaches in the league. So
is Ben Johnson, head coach of the Bears. You watch
that Week one game against the Packers for the Lions,
and there was none of that from New Lions offensive
coordinator John Morton. It looked old, It looked stale, especially
(12:30):
in the red zone. So I will take the points
and the Bears I'll lay. I'll take the six and
a half. They may not win, but I think they'll
keep it closer than a touchdown. So we're taking two dogs,
the Patriots and Bears. We're taking two favorites, the Rams
and the Ravens, and we'll get our fifth pick on
Monday Night football for the Buccaneers Texans game.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Probably going to take the dog Bucks on the road,
but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Moving forward,
we'll do the three weekend picks and the Thursday night
and the Monday night for our five per week. Good
to be back. Let's see if I can match the
whip from last week in your five and one.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Mark did all right last week?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Man saw it on the Twitter.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
What uh?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
One of those picks again?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Dogs, Bears and Patriots, favorites, Ravens and Rams. Is what
we're doing this week.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And now the one on all the Ronnie Podkins. This
is the song of the day, Yeah, dust In.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
This one off from Bay Area Rock and Roll Hall
of fame band Journey providing our song of the day
called Lights, a memorable tune for a frog Man Friday
on the Petros and Money Show, where the Dodgers are
back in action in the City by the Bay for
the weekend, looking to turn the lights down on the
San Francisco Giants as they meet up with their arch
(13:48):
rivals at Oracle Park. Tonight with Gray eight Sports Talk,
getting you over to Tim Kits, who will have your
Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck show that's coming up at six.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You're here, You're welcome, and.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
We'll be back with the college football whip around. We'll
have some baseball talk as the show goes on. Quick hits,
fun fact lessons learned, troubles are over on a Frogman Friday.

Petru some Money, AM five seventy LA Sports. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app about an hour and a
half to go. We'll pass it along to Dodgers on
deck with their two and a half game lead over
the Padres in the NL West, sixteen games to play.
Our Wild Wild West update is brought to you by

Speaker 3 (14:58):
All right, it is time for the college football whip
around today for September twelfth, twenty twenty five. Black Tuesday,
November fourth will be the first time the College Football
Playoff Committee releases their official twenty twenty five rankings. So
until then, we will have to tolerate the meaningless Associated
(15:20):
Press weekly rankings which get announced each Sunday morning, the
same AP rankings in which USC Beat writer Hailey Sawyer
of the Southern California News Group was not taking seriously enough.
She received a massive amount of direct and indirect social
media blowback after expressing a flippant attitude toward her voting responsibilities. Kate,
(15:45):
I don't think she's opened up her social media accounts.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yes, yes, funny you mentioned that I was actually talking
to somebody in the bullpen a few hours ago when
you looked it up.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
She has deleted her ex account.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Oh how is she supposed to cover the team? Is
that where USC fans go to cover the beat?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
No? No, no, no, you know Hey man, I'm over on Blueski.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Check me out.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Here's Matt.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Look. She's a good writer, she's a lovely lady. In
my apologies to her. She has good news judgment. But
hopefully she's been scared straight by the preponderance of negative
feedback and she begins taking her job as a voter
more seriously, Matt, my picks went five and one last week.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, five and one, USC.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Alabama, Oregon, and Oklahoma all covered as favorites, and my
one underdog pick was UNLV The ReBs beat UCLA straight up.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Heck yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And I've also added a prop at the end of
each whip that I think you will enjoy. So, without
further ado, it is time for this week's college football whip.
Plow Orgon is two and zero at Northwestern. They are
one in one nine am on Fox. Ducks favored by
twenty seven and a half. Be prepared for an absolute
(17:06):
offensive onslaught by the Ducks on Big Noon by the Lake.
Oregon scored sixty nine points against Okie State last week.
They will get at least fifty this week as well.
It's the Big Ten opener for both schools. It's the
ducks first road trip, and while the new Northwestern Stadium,
(17:26):
as we all know, is under construction, this game is
being played on the Lakeside Soccer Field, a place where
Matt Smith was featured as a young athlete in the
Chicagoland area.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
That is true where Billy Zane Francis Parker's home field
as well with Chicago Latin right there.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Unfortunately, Matt, they have moved this game. It is not
by that lake. They have moved this game to Soldier Field,
or as Billy Zane said, Soldiers Field. I believe it
is singular. But I got the Ducks easily covering the
twenty seven and a half points. Quack and Flack Flack
(18:07):
flat Wisconsin two and zero at number nineteen, Alabama one
and one nine am ABC tied favored by twenty one
and a half.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
These teams met at Camp Randall last season. The Bama
team boat race the Badgers forty two to ten. That
win made Alabama three and zero. Back when Caylen Debor
could still start his own car. Pama bounce back from
(18:43):
their opening loss to Florida State by blasting Monroe seventy
three to nothing. Ty Simpson completed all seventeen of his passes.
One reason I like Alabama tomorrow is that Luke Fickles
still can't land a quarterback this year. Starter Danny O'Neill
was a true freshman starter at San Diego State last year.
I had a couple of his games. This is fickles
(19:05):
third season at Wisconsin, and he's dipping down to the
Mountain West for a five foot ten inch, two hundred
pound quarterback who dinks and dunks. He had an easier
time developing quarterbacks at Cincinnati. I'm picking Alabama by the
exact forty two to ten score at won by last season.
Flat flack flah. What about tonight? Colorado one in one
(19:31):
at Houston starting soon four point thirty tonight on ESPN.
Cougar's favored by five and a half. This is the
Big twelve opener for Deon Sanders, who will be traveling
his Depenn sponsored Porta Potti.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
What is he won one?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
He is first of all won. An effort by Deon
to bounce back from bladder at placement surgery, and to
be back on the field, and to be with his
new girl friend, Krucci Tran.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
His girlfriend is Krucci trand correct. I told you no,
I know, I always forget these things.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Though she was eighteen fifteen years ago. My one concern
is the lack of sideline space at the Houston Stadium.
I mean that's a tight sideline on the visitors side
to add a porta potty. The old stadium, Robertson Stadium,
where I had been had more room between the benches
and bleachers, but this new stadium has been used since
(20:30):
twenty fourteen. I believe this game will be a good
barometer of how much Dion wants to be coaching the
Buffs team now that his two sons are gone and
Travis Hunter isn't playing one hundred and twenty snaps every game.
The star of this game will be Houston's Dean Connors.
He was the starting tailback at Rice the last two seasons.
In twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four, he gained
over seven hundred yards rushing and caught over fifty passes.
(20:53):
With Dion's interest perhaps waning, I'm taking Willie Fritz and
the Houston Cougars to cover the five and a half
to night twenty seven sixteen US too.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I do appreciate by the way that you know, the
porta Potti is not something that they're trying to pass off.
It's like, oh, it's just another injury ten. But like
they're like, no, we're gonna sell it. No sponsor's going
to pat Yeah, we're gonna make some money. It depends here.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Flat Pittsburgh's two and zero at West Virginia one in one,
twelve thirty PM ESPN. Panthers favored by seven and a half.
It's great to have the backyard brawl rivalry back on
the schedule. Matt, with my West Virginia roots, this one
has always held a special place.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
In my heart.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
I bet it has. The Mountaineers fire kid, huh what
so do you can think back to these tussles when
you were a child.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I think back, Yeah, I think Amos zaraway Tony Dorsett.
The Mountaineers fired Neil Brown following last season and brought
back rich Ron rich Ron Reganz. The problem is West
Virginia lacks talent across the board and also hasn't quite
yet adjusted to financially competing for recruits transfers. Now. I
am confident rich Rod will figure that part out, but
(22:04):
this team is not there yet. They began the season
with a win over Robert Morris, followed by a loss
to what is supposed to be a good Ohio Bobcats team,
Pat Nardoozi's Panthers are solid in the ACC year in
and year out. Regarding the rivalry, Pitt in West Virginia
didn't play from twenty twelve through twenty twenty one. This
(22:26):
year's game is the last in a four year contract
from twenty twenty two through twenty twenty five. The next
four game contract will run twenty twenty nine through twenty
thirty two. It's great to have rich Rod back on
the Big twelve. I'm taking Pitt though, to cover the
seven and a half and win thirty one to thirteen.
Plat USC's two and zero at Purdue twelve thirty pm.
(22:51):
Trojans favored by twenty and a half, The Mighty USC
Trojans will march into ross Aid Stadium for the second
time ever. Only forty nine years ago in nineteen seventy six,
the Trojans won in West Lafayette thirty one to thirteen
behind a tailback named Ricky Bell. The latest sc Perdue
(23:12):
game was at the Coliseum in August of ninety eight,
a game in which a young Petros Papadakas scored his
first college touchdown that week. Yeah, we won twenty seven
to seventeen. Everybody I know still says it was the
hottest game ever played in the Coliseum. It was Drew
Brees's debut as a Perdue quarterback.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Some debut.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
He was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
It was hot.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Tomorrow's Big Ten opener will be played under sunny skies
with temps in the mid eighties, just like LA. This
will be Jade and Miyama's first reilroad game as a Trojan.
He played against UCLA at the Rose Bowl last year,
but the building was half empty and mostly USC fans.
There will be sixty one thousand fans packed at Perdue.
About three hundred of them will be rooting for you USC.
(24:00):
It'll be a real Big ten environment, real Big ten.
Perdue hit rock bottom last season with a one and
eleven season. That's why the Boilers hired new coach Barry
Odem Barry oh immediately flipped the script at his first
season at UNLV. Not sure if that's as possible In
the Big Ten. Both USC and Purdue have built two
(24:21):
and ohero records by playing bad teams. But USC receivers
Jacobe Lane and mackay Lemon are spectacular and they're licking
their chops to finally face some competition. In my mind,
I'm thinking of USC choking away at Minnesota and Maryland
last season. But I'm gonna show a little faith there's
magic between the rail railroad tracks. I'll take them to
(24:45):
cover thirty four to ten fight on black New Mexico,
one in one UCLA oh and two to nine at
seven Big Ten network. It's not on our station. Bruins
are favored by fifteen and a half. Scrolling through the
final ten games on the UCLA football schedule, over well
(25:05):
the maximum number of wins, it looks like they could
get his three three three games. I mean this week
against New Mexico, next week at Northwestern, and then October
eighteenth against Maryland and the Rose Ball. I mean, the
performance last week against UNLV was unacceptable. How does UNLV
build a twenty three to nothing lead in the second quarter.
(25:25):
UCLA had fourteen penalties for one hundred and thirty yards.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Got to clean that up.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
They were three for thirteen on third down.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
AH, got to pick that up.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
They can't even build success about UNLV. How can they
compete versus Big ten teams? Are the players on board?
The new quarterback Nico Iamalaiava has said that he's using
this year as a stepping stone of the NFL, but
he's not going to risk his body every week playing
with these guys and for these coaches. I would love
(25:53):
to see what the Bruins top donors and top boosters
are texting UCLA A D. Martin Jarmond during the game.
Further UCLAA D. Dan Guerrero took plenty of arrows from
fans and media and lums over his twenty years on
the job, but he never let the program circle the
drain like it's circling now. The new guy at un
(26:13):
LV that organized last week's ass kicking is Dan Mullen.
He's not messing around. Jarman could have hired Dan Mullen
in February twenty twenty four when Chip Kelly left he
was at ESPN looking for a coaching gig, but he
promoted the running back coach Deshaun Foster instead. Now it's
Foster's second season, the Rubbers meet in the road. It's
(26:34):
been well documented by Ben Bolch of the La Times.
UCLA can't get fans to a ten games with the
Rose Bowl. Foster blocks the local media from player access
and having the ability to tell the stories of the
players human interest. Is this push and pull between football
and coach and the media really happening at UCLA? It is.
(26:54):
I see three wins or less for the Bruins this year,
but one of these wins comes tonight. UCLA covers the
fifteen and a half and they beat the Lobos twenty.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
They cover.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yes, thwack, thwack, don't talk back?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
May you be right?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Last week's prop was time of game between Iowa and
Iowa State. You did not do a time a game pro.
I was hoping for a run heavy street today. I
was thinking about three hours and fifteen minutes, but penalties
and challenges and reviews and some injury timeouts, I was
only off by forty minutes.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
That is, forty minutes.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
The official time in the Sihawk game was three hours
and fifty five minutes four hours. This week will be
the over under on the UCLA New Mexico attendance at
the Rose Bowl tonight. I predict UCLA will report over
twenty four thousand fans. For the real attendance figure, we
will have to wait three years from now when the
(27:53):
aforementioned Ben Bolt of the La Times will use the
Freedom of Information Act to get the real attendance from
the State of California records them in Sacramento.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yes, checking out the traffic right now on the two
tim looking pretty good through the Royal Saeko Linda Vista
Avenue wide open.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
We Royal Boulevard. A little bit of a backup as you.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Make your way through Oh Grove Drive. But of course
you got those two high school games that are kicking
off in a couple hours as well.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Guys, Oh, thank you, Dug Stevens, appreciate that up.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
To Francis game.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Oh, San Francis is playing then locking Yachta right across
the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
So from the sky five seventy traffic copter Doug Stevens
with the update.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I'm currently in the press box at Maverick Stadium here
in Logan, Utah. I got the Utah State Aggies hosting
the Air Force Falcons tomorrow evening six, forty five Pacific
time on FS one. It's a great coaching matchup between
a couple of the saltiest dogs around. Bronco Mendenol has
been the head coach of BYU Virginia, New Mexico before
taking the Utah State job last December, his nineteenth season
(28:54):
as a college edge coach. Troy Calhoun is also in
his nineteenth season as the Air Force head coach. Folks
here and Logan are quick to remind you that menden
Hall has a six and one career versus Air Force,
So we're looking forward to Aggie's Air Force tomorrow night
from Maverick Stadium and Merlin Olsen field Man, Black Flack,
three Whacks, Scrout and los Uegos. Everybody enjoy the game
(29:18):
and we'll be right back with the lessons learned in
great sports Talk on M five seventy LA Sports, your
home of the Dodgers.

on kind of how the season has played out, the
All Star Game, all that sort of stuff, could be
his last ever start at Oracle Park or what was
at and T or the many different iterations that the
home field there in McCovey Cove for the San Francisco
Giants has been called. Could be his last start tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
All right, Matt, We've had a pretty good week of
a lot of shows on Great Sports Talk all five days,
we are able to pull off and we have the
lessons learned.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The Twitter chair pinsion, I guess you delivered a sick
Birds with no concerns.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Sinceard ask a question, a very honest potential question about
an injury about a very popular quarterback.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
People might want to know what you look like when
you go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Lesson what Steve sarkisian on arch Man's shoulder. Rich Many
seemed to be having some throwing pains by the According
to who, arch arch said that to you?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
No, oh, according to who, it just looked like he was.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
He doesn't have.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Any that is there an explanation to why he was
it looked like that.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I don't know. I've never filed I've never filmed any
of you guys when you're using the bathroom, So I
don't know what faces you make when you're doing that.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I still don't get it. I don't either.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
I still don't understand it. I have any of the
Texas beat writers like tried to explain what what he
was saying, like, what what?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
What?
Speaker 4 (31:57):
The intention of that answer was?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I think that was his media availability and now they're hiding,
you know, at the Salt Lick.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I listen, I'm gonna say something really awkward and then
we're gonna hide for forty eight hours.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Okay, I never take pictures of you guys when you
go to the bathroom. Well, if you did, that would
be like a real like that's a sex prime, Like
you can't gonna have to register. Why would you do that?
Why would you even mention that coach? Like why are
you being so weird?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Listen to Lexon dos uh, that's the only due.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Well one of our favorite pictures out of Hard High ever.
Blast now on a podcast talking about not going back
into pitch the eighth even though he had a no
hitter going. I don't know if it sounds like he's
really that hungry.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Matt I had like fifty pitches in the first two innings,
so I kind of figured just after seven, with one
hundred and seven pitches, I figured they weren't gonna let
me keep going. I would have loved to, but I
just think, like with playoffs coming up, and I guess
like my last few years, like injuries, I completely understand
obviously to anytime you're in the game and like someone
asks you if you want to stay, and you're always
going to say yes. It's kind of I'll always be like, yeah,
(33:08):
just let me keep going. But I respect the decision
to take me out. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
What did he did he even give you the option
or when you came off the mound? Was doc like?
Was Doc like, hey, good job, you're done. Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:20):
More that one, which I kind of expected him to
a little bit. But yeah, I didn't really have like
the option to go back out or anything. If I did,
I would have tried to argue my case. But it
is what it is. The decision was made.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
And they gave him multiple opportunities, like three different times
to say, man, I would have I would have chewed
off my arm in order to go out there and
throw another inning. I would have I would have crawled
across broken glass, I would have walked through fire. No,
just hey, you know, I just no way. It didn't
sound didn't sound good. No, it did not sound good.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Not very Battle of the Bulge esque, no less than
three the antithesis of Battle of the Bulge.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
It would be the Battle of the Bulge if they
just said, yeah, you're good, come on.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Up, come on up, We're good. It's cold out. Just
take take everything. It's all right nowhere.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
It could be the Battle of the bulge because glass
now only pitches when it's eighty and sonny.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Ah lees, let's do it today.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Here's Adam Silver stumbling and fumbling and bumbling around the
Steve Balmer situation and the clippers. This does not sound good.
Speaker 9 (34:27):
The goal of a full investigation is to find it
if there really was impropriety, because also in a public
facing sport, again, the public at times reaches conclusions that
later to turn out to be completely false. And so
I do would want anybody else in situation mister Bomber
(34:48):
is in now, or Kawhi Leonard for that matter, to
be treated the same way I would want to be
treated if people were making allegations against me. So the
answer is it's we're not a court of law at
the end of the day, either that we have broad
authority to look at all information and to weigh it accordingly.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
My powers are very.
Speaker 9 (35:07):
Broad, a full range of financial penalties, draft picks, suspensions,
et cetera. Have very broad powers in.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
These situations circumstantial and don't need concrete but up to us.
And I mean you said it when we did this
story Originally, Pete talk about words, salad.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Cheeze geez blah. Listen for Lexion quatro.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
It's an aquattro.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
You should listen to your friend. Billy's aye. He's a
cool dude and he's trying to help you out here.
He is on his new movie.
Speaker 10 (35:45):
This is a period he was living in Tahiti. Basically
took off from Hollywood and had it in his head
after remember this was like Hollywood's first activist right walk,
the Walk for Civil rights, Indigenous rights. No one was
doing this stuff. Always put his.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Money where his mouth was.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
And he decided to forage the sustainable design, the ecological movement,
which was a non starter. There was nothing going on here.
And this story covers this unique relationship with John Heater's character,
who plays an architect that he hires to figure out
sustainable design and how to get power and water to
his island back in you know, nineteen sixty nine, hemorrhaging
(36:26):
all of his money and having to go to work
to pay for it, and what were those jobs the godfather,
you know, things that he probably wouldn't have done had
he not needed It's crazy, so you know, of course
these kind of strange footnotes are these most seminal pillars
in our collective memory of cinema, and they happen to
be a means to an end. And that's what this
(36:47):
is about. It's a funny, charming, kind of buddy picture
on a beautiful island.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
It's kind of crazy, tell you what, Matt.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
I can't wait till September nineteenth to see that Marlon
Brando biopit from Billy Zane where he plays Marlon Brando
waltzing with Branda.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
I will say the one thing that was that that
didn't show up in the interview that I would have
liked to, Hey, guys, what are you doing on the fifteenth,
even though come on out to Chin. I'd have to
decline because I got the Chargers Raiders game out there
in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
But you could have said, I'm there, I love it,
I love Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
I go over to the.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Put those new socks of years to use.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Oh come on, twenty bucks, stand right neck to zaying
on the red carpet with us.
Speaker 2 (37:31):

Booth has the action at seven point fifteen. Dodgers on
Deck at six with Tim Kats and David Vassay shared
with this a little bit earlier. He's got Freddy Freeman
on his birthday. That will be his guest for Dodgers
on Deck. Dodgers up two and a half on the
padres in the NL West with sixteen games to play.
(01:09):
Padres played yesterday gotta win over the Rockies while the
Dodgers were off. It's Yamamoto back on the mound tonight,
following his eight and two thirds of no hit ball
and a game he ended up losing somehow thanks to
the bullpen in Baltimore. So huge ten games stretch here.
We've talked about it repeatedly. Ten days, ten games, seven
of them against the Giants, of which the first starts
(01:31):
tonight Yamamoto versus Justin Verlander.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Very exciting baseball action. Speaking of baseball, Matt, I have
the concierges of the sports Lodge, a real baseball play
by play man sitting here in the booth with me,
Trent Rush, who's going to be calling the game tomorrow.
And I want you to know that it's really awkward
between him and I. When Roger Lodge calls him and
(01:55):
asks him for stuff. It's like I'm like a you know,
It's like I'm like a like a mistress or something.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
You know?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Or does Roger follow you or is it just a
sports Lodge likely run by Trent that follows you.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Do you follow me on Twitter? Through the sports Lodge
Trent or is that Roger himself? That is Lodge? Oh wow,
And that happened last year when we started calling fibers together.
He started wanting to monitor me. Yeah, Trent.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Trent was like, hey, he's a good guy. How about
how about bygones?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Trent is a very uh, Trent is a really really
nice guy. Like he works with Krasca on Channel eleven
and all that, that guy that got shot you know,
And I'm like, dude, how weird.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Is that guy?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And Trent's like, no, he's all right, you know, he's
you know, he's thirty two. He's got a good attitude.
Hold what I mean, He's not like us, No, who
are on my way to death? The bitterness is real
when it comes to us, and Trent really does. He's
been a he's at a front row seat to how
uh how I am not a road curveball hitter, just
(02:59):
just not a curveball hitter on the road. But I've
had some bad luck today. You got to admit now.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, some created by you yourself, others created by your
travel department. The sox situation, sock situation is your own creation.
But the travel company not calling the hotel and saying, hey,
we're holding this room. He's going to be there at
eight am.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Not you know, they didn't even have a room book
for Trent. He had to wait a half hour while
somebody scoured a room and set him up there.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Not cool.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, we are very unhappy here.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yes, Tim, Two questions about your play by a play partner,
Trent rus sports lot. If he couldn't get if he
couldn't get a room, would you let him bump up
in your room and let.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Him be in my room with me? Yeah? Yeah, but he.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Wouldn't Okay, I say, would he come in the room.
That's the next question. All right, And let's say Trent, what.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Would have happened if he didn't get a room? There
would have been a frantic uh, like just calling the
airstrike Vietnam style call the Fox travel trying to move
us to the Marriotte here in town.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Ah, all right. Second question, if let's say he.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Was my I was like a pubic hair away from
making that call. All right, up there.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Yeah, let's say he goes into his bag.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I know how much people appreciate the misfortune of my
my track, like the fact that I can't handle these
things like people are supposed to handle them, and there's
no weed here anyway? Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Let's say he goes into his No, there's no weed.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The hell, let's not here, is it.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Let's say Trent goes into his bag, go to a.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Soda jerk and the door wouldn't even open. Go ahead, Kate.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Let's say Trent goes into his bag and he's like, oh, man,
I need some socks for tonight's big broadcast on FS one.
Would you be like, hey, I got two extra pair
of socks, but I watched the twenty bucks or is
you said under the store, No, I would let him
have one pair of my twenty dollars have him or
charge of twenty bucks. They venmoment twenty of them for free.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
You're the only one that would charge someone for socks, Kates,
You are the only one of them.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well him in the store I went to earlier today.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Well there's that. But I do think if Trent were
to have forgotten an extra pair of socks, he would
probably have been just fine wearing the socks he's wearing
today tomorrow, As.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Would you had have got that? Would you have bought
new socks or would you have doubled up on your socks.
You wouldn't have bought new socks.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You're the only he knows though, But he's got a pair.
It's not like he socked lists. He's got today for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
They look like their three corner ankle socks to their
super dorky. Oh he's down.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That foo is not down. The higher the socks, the
down of the fool. All right, it is h his
words the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Today's word of the day is Australian News.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It's Kip and this is Petros and money's Australian News.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
One thing we love about Australia, Matt. One of my
favorite things, well, my favorite story, well, I do love
the Digerido, but my favorite story ever out of Australia
is the one where the lady was cycling somewhere and
she was attacked by a kangaroo and it punted her
chest with both legs and broke both her depressed. But
(06:25):
my second favorite Australian story out there, other than the
Alpaca lava guy, is the fact that there's a terrible,
terrible VD problem amongst koala bears. A lot of people
don't realize this. They have terrible chlamydia problems in Australia
(06:46):
with the koalas. Now, obviously it's not going to stop
them from effing. But the koalas get they go blind,
like if you're touching, that's what happens here and logan,
if you touch yourself too much, they go blind, they die,
they go crazy on the chlamydia. But now it's going
(07:12):
to be okay. All we got to do is get
these koalas to the CVS because a regulator has approved
the world's first vaccine to protect koalas from chlamydia infections.
These infections cause infertility, it still doesn't stop them from ethan.
It's a single dose. It was developed by a university
(07:33):
on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland after more of a
decade of chlamydia research, and it reduces the likelihood of
koalas developing symptoms in chlamydia during breeding age, decreased mortality
from the disease in wild populations by at least sixty
five percent. So now all somebody's got to do is
(07:57):
go around and shoot up all the koalas with like
a like a blow.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Dart, right, get them their medication.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
And eradicate chlamydia and the koala population forever.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Resources are being spent on vaccinating koalas, but some say
that those resources should be redirected at saving the koala's habitat,
you know, planting more eucalyptus and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
So it's either afflicted with chlamydia and you got more
eucalyptus trees to eat your eucalyptus, or yeah, maybe you're
not eating as much and you don't have to worry
about going blind and that uncontrollable burning sensation between your legs.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But no, one lady, one lady doesn't think shit they'll
be able to do all this, She says, at the
risk of sounding flippant, how can anybody be South delesion
As to think that you can vaccinate one hundred thousand animals.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's just ridiculous, fair point. Yeah, it's not like they're
going to line up for you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh, maybe word gets out, you know, the word gets
out of can you spread the word?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Chlemydia is one of the key stresses in koala life.
So that is the news out of Australia. We will
follow up to see how they're doing as far as
getting the vaccination distributed to the Koala population. You know,
they might be saying, look, I'll take the vaccination, but
I'm my Koala kids, you know. And then you might say, well,
(09:42):
I want to let these Koalas in Australia school if
they're not. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know we've all lived. We'll see what happened. Here's
my number. Number of the day. Number of the day
pe is four. Number of the day is four? Why four?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I forgot week one to pick the games because I
have that trip to Brazil. Forgot the you Thursday night football? Yeah,
I forgot, which is a bummer. I would have laid
the points. I mean, our pick six was all over
the pack and all unders for the Commanders. So let's
see if I can get this right and carry what
I believe in my inside not my outside, to be
(10:18):
a little bit of momentum coming off of last night.
We start with the Patriots plus one and a half
in Miami. Some may be scared off. Are the Dolphins
really that bad? The Patriots could not move the ball
on a Raiders defense that a lot of folks don't
think is that great on the back end. We heard
rumblings about how bad things were in Miami in the offseason.
Jalen Ramsey reportedly flat out refused to play for Mike
(10:39):
McDaniel again, and that Tyreek Hill was already belly aching.
He's now got a domestic violence investigation on his play.
Tuo was the worst quarterback in Week one. I'm gonna
go stability and upside and take the one and a
half points and expect the Patriots to win. The Bengals
are a great offense, but they're not the Ravens. They're
not Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson. The Bills got steamroll.
(11:02):
Is the Browns defense better than Buffalo's, perhaps, but their
offense is certainly nowhere near what Josh Allen is putting
out there. So laying eleven and a half is not
the greatest idea in an NFL game, And apparently the
Browns are very upset about being near two touchdown underdogs.
But whatever, I'll lay it. The zero and one Ravens
(11:23):
for three and a half quarters looked like a buzzsaw
that was going to carve its way through the AFC
to Super Bowl sixty in San Francisco. So I will
take the biggest favorite of the week and Derek Henry
to pick up where he left off was somewhere around
one hundred and fifty yards and two touchdowns. I will
lay the I will lay the points eleven and a half.
I'll also lay the points with the Rams in Tennessee.
The Rams defense held the Texans to single digits and
(11:45):
they got CJ. Stroud, Nico Collins, and Dalton Schultz out there.
Cam Ward and the Titans don't and they did not
have anything working against the Broncos for fifty minutes of
that game. So I figure a much easier defense to
attack than Houston's. Matt Stafford, Sean mcvayh get back on track,
find their rhythm with new wide out DeVante Adams. I
will lay the five and a half, take the Rams
(12:07):
by a touchdown. And yes, it got ugly in the
second half against Minnesota as the Viking started carving up
that Bears defense. But Kevin O'Connell's one of the best
play callers and best offensive coaches in the league. So
is Ben Johnson, head coach of the Bears. You watch
that Week one game against the Packers for the Lions,
and there was none of that from New Lions offensive
coordinator John Morton. It looked old, It looked stale, especially
(12:30):
in the red zone. So I will take the points
and the Bears I'll lay. I'll take the six and
a half. They may not win, but I think they'll
keep it closer than a touchdown. So we're taking two dogs,
the Patriots and Bears. We're taking two favorites, the Rams
and the Ravens, and we'll get our fifth pick on
Monday Night football for the Buccaneers Texans game.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Probably going to take the dog Bucks on the road,
but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Moving forward,
we'll do the three weekend picks and the Thursday night
and the Monday night for our five per week. Good
to be back. Let's see if I can match the
whip from last week in your five and one.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Mark did all right last week?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Man saw it on the Twitter.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
What uh?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
One of those picks again?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Dogs, Bears and Patriots, favorites, Ravens and Rams. Is what
we're doing this week.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And now the one on all the Ronnie Podkins. This
is the song of the day, Yeah, dust In.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
This one off from Bay Area Rock and Roll Hall
of fame band Journey providing our song of the day
called Lights, a memorable tune for a frog Man Friday
on the Petros and Money Show, where the Dodgers are
back in action in the City by the Bay for
the weekend, looking to turn the lights down on the
San Francisco Giants as they meet up with their arch
(13:48):
rivals at Oracle Park. Tonight with Gray eight Sports Talk,
getting you over to Tim Kits, who will have your

Speaker 3 (14:58):
All right, it is time for the college football whip
around today for September twelfth, twenty twenty five. Black Tuesday,
November fourth will be the first time the College Football
Playoff Committee releases their official twenty twenty five rankings. So
until then, we will have to tolerate the meaningless Associated
(15:20):
Press weekly rankings which get announced each Sunday morning, the
same AP rankings in which USC Beat writer Hailey Sawyer
of the Southern California News Group was not taking seriously enough.
She received a massive amount of direct and indirect social
media blowback after expressing a flippant attitude toward her voting responsibilities. Kate,
(15:45):
I don't think she's opened up her social media accounts.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yes, yes, funny you mentioned that I was actually talking
to somebody in the bullpen a few hours ago when
you looked it up.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
She has deleted her ex account.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Oh how is she supposed to cover the team? Is
that where USC fans go to cover the beat?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
No? No, no, no, you know Hey man, I'm over on Blueski.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Check me out.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Here's Matt.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Look. She's a good writer, she's a lovely lady. In
my apologies to her. She has good news judgment. But
hopefully she's been scared straight by the preponderance of negative
feedback and she begins taking her job as a voter
more seriously, Matt, my picks went five and one last week.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, five and one, USC.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Alabama, Oregon, and Oklahoma all covered as favorites, and my
one underdog pick was UNLV The ReBs beat UCLA straight up.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Heck yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And I've also added a prop at the end of
each whip that I think you will enjoy. So, without
further ado, it is time for this week's college football whip.
Plow Orgon is two and zero at Northwestern. They are
one in one nine am on Fox. Ducks favored by
twenty seven and a half. Be prepared for an absolute
(17:06):
offensive onslaught by the Ducks on Big Noon by the Lake.
Oregon scored sixty nine points against Okie State last week.
They will get at least fifty this week as well.
It's the Big Ten opener for both schools. It's the
ducks first road trip, and while the new Northwestern Stadium,
(17:26):
as we all know, is under construction, this game is
being played on the Lakeside Soccer Field, a place where
Matt Smith was featured as a young athlete in the
Chicagoland area.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
That is true where Billy Zane Francis Parker's home field
as well with Chicago Latin right there.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Unfortunately, Matt, they have moved this game. It is not
by that lake. They have moved this game to Soldier Field,
or as Billy Zane said, Soldiers Field. I believe it
is singular. But I got the Ducks easily covering the
twenty seven and a half points. Quack and Flack Flack
(18:07):
flat Wisconsin two and zero at number nineteen, Alabama one
and one nine am ABC tied favored by twenty one
and a half.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
These teams met at Camp Randall last season. The Bama
team boat race the Badgers forty two to ten. That
win made Alabama three and zero. Back when Caylen Debor
could still start his own car. Pama bounce back from
(18:43):
their opening loss to Florida State by blasting Monroe seventy
three to nothing. Ty Simpson completed all seventeen of his passes.
One reason I like Alabama tomorrow is that Luke Fickles
still can't land a quarterback this year. Starter Danny O'Neill
was a true freshman starter at San Diego State last year.
I had a couple of his games. This is fickles
(19:05):
third season at Wisconsin, and he's dipping down to the
Mountain West for a five foot ten inch, two hundred
pound quarterback who dinks and dunks. He had an easier
time developing quarterbacks at Cincinnati. I'm picking Alabama by the
exact forty two to ten score at won by last season.
Flat flack flah. What about tonight? Colorado one in one
(19:31):
at Houston starting soon four point thirty tonight on ESPN.
Cougar's favored by five and a half. This is the
Big twelve opener for Deon Sanders, who will be traveling
his Depenn sponsored Porta Potti.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
What is he won one?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
He is first of all won. An effort by Deon
to bounce back from bladder at placement surgery, and to
be back on the field, and to be with his
new girl friend, Krucci Tran.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
His girlfriend is Krucci trand correct. I told you no,
I know, I always forget these things.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Though she was eighteen fifteen years ago. My one concern
is the lack of sideline space at the Houston Stadium.
I mean that's a tight sideline on the visitors side
to add a porta potty. The old stadium, Robertson Stadium,
where I had been had more room between the benches
and bleachers, but this new stadium has been used since
(20:30):
twenty fourteen. I believe this game will be a good
barometer of how much Dion wants to be coaching the
Buffs team now that his two sons are gone and
Travis Hunter isn't playing one hundred and twenty snaps every game.
The star of this game will be Houston's Dean Connors.
He was the starting tailback at Rice the last two seasons.
In twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four, he gained
over seven hundred yards rushing and caught over fifty passes.
(20:53):
With Dion's interest perhaps waning, I'm taking Willie Fritz and
the Houston Cougars to cover the five and a half
to night twenty seven sixteen US too.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I do appreciate by the way that you know, the
porta Potti is not something that they're trying to pass off.
It's like, oh, it's just another injury ten. But like
they're like, no, we're gonna sell it. No sponsor's going
to pat Yeah, we're gonna make some money. It depends here.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Flat Pittsburgh's two and zero at West Virginia one in one,
twelve thirty PM ESPN. Panthers favored by seven and a half.
It's great to have the backyard brawl rivalry back on
the schedule. Matt, with my West Virginia roots, this one
has always held a special place.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
In my heart.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
I bet it has. The Mountaineers fire kid, huh what
so do you can think back to these tussles when
you were a child.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I think back, Yeah, I think Amos zaraway Tony Dorsett.
The Mountaineers fired Neil Brown following last season and brought
back rich Ron rich Ron Reganz. The problem is West
Virginia lacks talent across the board and also hasn't quite
yet adjusted to financially competing for recruits transfers. Now. I
am confident rich Rod will figure that part out, but
(22:04):
this team is not there yet. They began the season
with a win over Robert Morris, followed by a loss
to what is supposed to be a good Ohio Bobcats team,
Pat Nardoozi's Panthers are solid in the ACC year in
and year out. Regarding the rivalry, Pitt in West Virginia
didn't play from twenty twelve through twenty twenty one. This
(22:26):
year's game is the last in a four year contract
from twenty twenty two through twenty twenty five. The next
four game contract will run twenty twenty nine through twenty
thirty two. It's great to have rich Rod back on
the Big twelve. I'm taking Pitt though, to cover the
seven and a half and win thirty one to thirteen.
Plat USC's two and zero at Purdue twelve thirty pm.
(22:51):
Trojans favored by twenty and a half, The Mighty USC
Trojans will march into ross Aid Stadium for the second
time ever. Only forty nine years ago in nineteen seventy six,
the Trojans won in West Lafayette thirty one to thirteen
behind a tailback named Ricky Bell. The latest sc Perdue
(23:12):
game was at the Coliseum in August of ninety eight,
a game in which a young Petros Papadakas scored his
first college touchdown that week. Yeah, we won twenty seven
to seventeen. Everybody I know still says it was the
hottest game ever played in the Coliseum. It was Drew
Brees's debut as a Perdue quarterback.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Some debut.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
He was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
It was hot.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Tomorrow's Big Ten opener will be played under sunny skies
with temps in the mid eighties, just like LA. This
will be Jade and Miyama's first reilroad game as a Trojan.
He played against UCLA at the Rose Bowl last year,
but the building was half empty and mostly USC fans.
There will be sixty one thousand fans packed at Perdue.
About three hundred of them will be rooting for you USC.
(24:00):
It'll be a real Big ten environment, real Big ten.
Perdue hit rock bottom last season with a one and
eleven season. That's why the Boilers hired new coach Barry
Odem Barry oh immediately flipped the script at his first
season at UNLV. Not sure if that's as possible In
the Big Ten. Both USC and Purdue have built two
(24:21):
and ohero records by playing bad teams. But USC receivers
Jacobe Lane and mackay Lemon are spectacular and they're licking
their chops to finally face some competition. In my mind,
I'm thinking of USC choking away at Minnesota and Maryland
last season. But I'm gonna show a little faith there's
magic between the rail railroad tracks. I'll take them to
(24:45):
cover thirty four to ten fight on black New Mexico,
one in one UCLA oh and two to nine at
seven Big Ten network. It's not on our station. Bruins
are favored by fifteen and a half. Scrolling through the
final ten games on the UCLA football schedule, over well
(25:05):
the maximum number of wins, it looks like they could
get his three three three games. I mean this week
against New Mexico, next week at Northwestern, and then October
eighteenth against Maryland and the Rose Ball. I mean, the
performance last week against UNLV was unacceptable. How does UNLV
build a twenty three to nothing lead in the second quarter.
(25:25):
UCLA had fourteen penalties for one hundred and thirty yards.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Got to clean that up.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
They were three for thirteen on third down.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
AH, got to pick that up.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
They can't even build success about UNLV. How can they
compete versus Big ten teams? Are the players on board?
The new quarterback Nico Iamalaiava has said that he's using
this year as a stepping stone of the NFL, but
he's not going to risk his body every week playing
with these guys and for these coaches. I would love
(25:53):
to see what the Bruins top donors and top boosters
are texting UCLA A D. Martin Jarmond during the game.
Further UCLAA D. Dan Guerrero took plenty of arrows from
fans and media and lums over his twenty years on
the job, but he never let the program circle the
drain like it's circling now. The new guy at un
(26:13):
LV that organized last week's ass kicking is Dan Mullen.
He's not messing around. Jarman could have hired Dan Mullen
in February twenty twenty four when Chip Kelly left he
was at ESPN looking for a coaching gig, but he
promoted the running back coach Deshaun Foster instead. Now it's
Foster's second season, the Rubbers meet in the road. It's
(26:34):
been well documented by Ben Bolch of the La Times.
UCLA can't get fans to a ten games with the
Rose Bowl. Foster blocks the local media from player access
and having the ability to tell the stories of the
players human interest. Is this push and pull between football
and coach and the media really happening at UCLA? It is.
(26:54):
I see three wins or less for the Bruins this year,
but one of these wins comes tonight. UCLA covers the
fifteen and a half and they beat the Lobos twenty.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
They cover.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yes, thwack, thwack, don't talk back?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
May you be right?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Last week's prop was time of game between Iowa and
Iowa State. You did not do a time a game pro.
I was hoping for a run heavy street today. I
was thinking about three hours and fifteen minutes, but penalties
and challenges and reviews and some injury timeouts, I was
only off by forty minutes.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
That is, forty minutes.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
The official time in the Sihawk game was three hours
and fifty five minutes four hours. This week will be
the over under on the UCLA New Mexico attendance at
the Rose Bowl tonight. I predict UCLA will report over
twenty four thousand fans. For the real attendance figure, we
will have to wait three years from now when the
(27:53):
aforementioned Ben Bolt of the La Times will use the
Freedom of Information Act to get the real attendance from
the State of California records them in Sacramento.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yes, checking out the traffic right now on the two
tim looking pretty good through the Royal Saeko Linda Vista
Avenue wide open.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
We Royal Boulevard. A little bit of a backup as you.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Make your way through Oh Grove Drive. But of course
you got those two high school games that are kicking
off in a couple hours as well.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Guys, Oh, thank you, Dug Stevens, appreciate that up.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
To Francis game.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Oh, San Francis is playing then locking Yachta right across
the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
So from the sky five seventy traffic copter Doug Stevens
with the update.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I'm currently in the press box at Maverick Stadium here
in Logan, Utah. I got the Utah State Aggies hosting
the Air Force Falcons tomorrow evening six, forty five Pacific
time on FS one. It's a great coaching matchup between
a couple of the saltiest dogs around. Bronco Mendenol has
been the head coach of BYU Virginia, New Mexico before
taking the Utah State job last December, his nineteenth season
(28:54):
as a college edge coach. Troy Calhoun is also in
his nineteenth season as the Air Force head coach. Folks
here and Logan are quick to remind you that menden
Hall has a six and one career versus Air Force,
So we're looking forward to Aggie's Air Force tomorrow night
from Maverick Stadium and Merlin Olsen field Man, Black Flack,
three Whacks, Scrout and los Uegos. Everybody enjoy the game
(29:18):
and we'll be right back with the lessons learned in
great sports Talk on M five seventy LA Sports, your
home of the Dodgers.

(30:16):
on kind of how the season has played out, the
All Star Game, all that sort of stuff, could be
his last ever start at Oracle Park or what was
at and T or the many different iterations that the
home field there in McCovey Cove for the San Francisco
Giants has been called. Could be his last start tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
All right, Matt, We've had a pretty good week of
a lot of shows on Great Sports Talk all five days,
we are able to pull off and we have the
lessons learned.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The Twitter chair pinsion, I guess you delivered a sick
Birds with no concerns.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Sinceard ask a question, a very honest potential question about
an injury about a very popular quarterback.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
People might want to know what you look like when
you go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Lesson what Steve sarkisian on arch Man's shoulder. Rich Many
seemed to be having some throwing pains by the According
to who, arch arch said that to you?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
No, oh, according to who, it just looked like he was.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
He doesn't have.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Any that is there an explanation to why he was
it looked like that.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I don't know. I've never filed I've never filmed any
of you guys when you're using the bathroom, So I
don't know what faces you make when you're doing that.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I still don't get it. I don't either.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
I still don't understand it. I have any of the
Texas beat writers like tried to explain what what he
was saying, like, what what?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
What?
Speaker 4 (31:57):
The intention of that answer was?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I think that was his media availability and now they're hiding,
you know, at the Salt Lick.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I listen, I'm gonna say something really awkward and then
we're gonna hide for forty eight hours.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Okay, I never take pictures of you guys when you
go to the bathroom. Well, if you did, that would
be like a real like that's a sex prime, Like
you can't gonna have to register. Why would you do that?
Why would you even mention that coach? Like why are
you being so weird?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Listen to Lexon dos uh, that's the only due.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Well one of our favorite pictures out of Hard High ever.
Blast now on a podcast talking about not going back
into pitch the eighth even though he had a no
hitter going. I don't know if it sounds like he's
really that hungry.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Matt I had like fifty pitches in the first two innings,
so I kind of figured just after seven, with one
hundred and seven pitches, I figured they weren't gonna let
me keep going. I would have loved to, but I
just think, like with playoffs coming up, and I guess
like my last few years, like injuries, I completely understand
obviously to anytime you're in the game and like someone
asks you if you want to stay, and you're always
going to say yes. It's kind of I'll always be like, yeah,
(33:08):
just let me keep going. But I respect the decision
to take me out. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
What did he did he even give you the option
or when you came off the mound? Was doc like?
Was Doc like, hey, good job, you're done. Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:20):
More that one, which I kind of expected him to
a little bit. But yeah, I didn't really have like
the option to go back out or anything. If I did,
I would have tried to argue my case. But it
is what it is. The decision was made.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
And they gave him multiple opportunities, like three different times
to say, man, I would have I would have chewed
off my arm in order to go out there and
throw another inning. I would have I would have crawled
across broken glass, I would have walked through fire. No,
just hey, you know, I just no way. It didn't
sound didn't sound good. No, it did not sound good.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Not very Battle of the Bulge esque, no less than
three the antithesis of Battle of the Bulge.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
It would be the Battle of the Bulge if they
just said, yeah, you're good, come on.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Up, come on up, We're good. It's cold out. Just
take take everything. It's all right nowhere.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
It could be the Battle of the bulge because glass
now only pitches when it's eighty and sonny.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Ah lees, let's do it today.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Here's Adam Silver stumbling and fumbling and bumbling around the
Steve Balmer situation and the clippers. This does not sound good.
Speaker 9 (34:27):
The goal of a full investigation is to find it
if there really was impropriety, because also in a public
facing sport, again, the public at times reaches conclusions that
later to turn out to be completely false. And so
I do would want anybody else in situation mister Bomber
(34:48):
is in now, or Kawhi Leonard for that matter, to
be treated the same way I would want to be
treated if people were making allegations against me. So the
answer is it's we're not a court of law at
the end of the day, either that we have broad
authority to look at all information and to weigh it accordingly.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
My powers are very.
Speaker 9 (35:07):
Broad, a full range of financial penalties, draft picks, suspensions,
et cetera. Have very broad powers in.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
These situations circumstantial and don't need concrete but up to us.
And I mean you said it when we did this
story Originally, Pete talk about words, salad.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Cheeze geez blah. Listen for Lexion quatro.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
It's an aquattro.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
You should listen to your friend. Billy's aye. He's a
cool dude and he's trying to help you out here.
He is on his new movie.
Speaker 10 (35:45):
This is a period he was living in Tahiti. Basically
took off from Hollywood and had it in his head
after remember this was like Hollywood's first activist right walk,
the Walk for Civil rights, Indigenous rights. No one was
doing this stuff. Always put his.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Money where his mouth was.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
And he decided to forage the sustainable design, the ecological movement,
which was a non starter. There was nothing going on here.
And this story covers this unique relationship with John Heater's character,
who plays an architect that he hires to figure out
sustainable design and how to get power and water to
his island back in you know, nineteen sixty nine, hemorrhaging
(36:26):
all of his money and having to go to work
to pay for it, and what were those jobs the godfather,
you know, things that he probably wouldn't have done had
he not needed It's crazy, so you know, of course
these kind of strange footnotes are these most seminal pillars
in our collective memory of cinema, and they happen to
be a means to an end. And that's what this
(36:47):
is about. It's a funny, charming, kind of buddy picture
on a beautiful island.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
It's kind of crazy, tell you what, Matt.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
I can't wait till September nineteenth to see that Marlon
Brando biopit from Billy Zane where he plays Marlon Brando
waltzing with Branda.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
I will say the one thing that was that that
didn't show up in the interview that I would have
liked to, Hey, guys, what are you doing on the fifteenth,
even though come on out to Chin. I'd have to
decline because I got the Chargers Raiders game out there
in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
But you could have said, I'm there, I love it,
I love Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
I go over to the.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Put those new socks of years to use.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Oh come on, twenty bucks, stand right neck to zaying
on the red carpet with us.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Right, He's a cool dude. You lock my cast meal,
he socks Billy.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Chake him out. We'll be right back with more great
sports Talk. We have the quick Hits, fun Fact, top
Story Dead and a live guy birth the other day.
