Speaker 4 (02:11):
On AMBI seventy LA Sports and on the iHeartRadio app
presented in part by Strauss from the Ballfield to the
job Site Strauss at Strauss dot com and by A
and PM. Too much good stuff, Very good guests today,
the three people that came on a lot of inside
(02:32):
from Dave and Dave with a with a very crushing
World Baseball Classic take which I respect. I respect that
to day.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
He works for the Dodgers and it's it's a Dodger thing.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And he's with those guys and he knows what they
went through, you know. I mean, maybe it's not.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I liked it, man. I liked seeing all the Venezuela.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
You did like seeing plenty of venezuela. You can have
all those guys, and you just can't have show Toni
pitching or Yamamoto pitching. He did say Sasaki too, And
Sasaki is a young guy. So I don't know. But
you know that same season that Otani pitch in the
World Baseball Classic, didn't he get Tommy John at the
end of that year?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, but the Angels used him, you know, like a mule.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Still, I know we're gonna use you like a mule.
And then, yeah, we're not gonna get anything out of
having you here.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Load up your back and get out there, load your pack, mule.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It's time for the story of it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, a continuation sort of of yesterday's top story. I
in fact, did not do any retail therapy last night.
P I did not buy a Ronnie bought a bunch
of stuff. See, some people did. I figured they would
you know you start talking about crystal balls with World
Series dirt in the middle of them for a hundred
bucks and people get excited. Instead, I moved on to
(03:57):
basketball and I got them both. Last night they had
the replay of the Lakers Blazers game on the Tellis
while the wife, Preston, and I were taking in Taco
Tuesday at the l Rancheto, and.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I was inspired clear with Lebron. I believe express written
consent from Lebron.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I believe he filed a trademark application for Taco Tuesday
and was rejected roundly.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Better prejudice, we better get we better get Sweet James.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
That's a legal term, folks, not a thing, you know,
and in Taco Tuesday, can't try it right. Ronnie inspired
me yesterday with his Yoshinoya. The shrimp was excellent comment
and so it must have planted a seed. I ordered
shrimp tacos. Wow last night. Yeah, I was like, you
(04:53):
know what, Maybe Ronnie was onto something. Maybe it is
time for some shrimp. As I took in a replace
DeAndre Ayton and some dude named Nick Smith as they
poured it on the Blazers in the second half. When
I got home. I flipped on the Clipper game. As
I mentioned yesterday, Peacock twelve bucks for an annual last year,
(05:15):
for the whole year at renews the fifth of December
for me, and they won one hundred and sixty dollars.
I hit cancel and a window popped up and said,
how about forty bucks. I'm still thinking about how I'm
gonna play that one, but since I still got, you know,
another month of Peacock the Cock of pe, I figured
I might as well use it. And what did I
tune into? No Kawhi Leonard who did not play because
(05:39):
it was a back to back, And I was like, oh,
it's Kawhi hurt. And so I went over to the
internet there and I clicked on the roster and then
I clicked on the tab that said injuries and it
listed both Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal as did not
play with the word rest in parentheses. So yeah, something's
(06:01):
never changed, just like the uh the Bruce Hornsby were
just playing there You ever meet Bruce Hornsby?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
No, not yet?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Get it? Jell Uh, it's hard to be Eight defending
champs are in town. The Intuit domes packed and both
Bradley Beal and Kawhi Leonard between them, probably fifteen All
Star teams sitting out for rest after losing to the Heat.
When down one at the buzzer, Kawhi took a right
(06:30):
wing three with three defenders on him and missed. Sat
out the next night. James Harden has no fun to watch.
It was painful at times. Last night. They outscored the
Thunder by ten in the first quarter and then the
Thunder blew him out by twenty nine the rest of
the way and won the game handily. But hey, at
least you kept Kawhi fresh for tomorrow's game. It was
(06:52):
the first back to back this year. Apparently after six games,
Kawhi couldn't nor could Bradley Beal possibly be asked to play,
even with just one other game over the next three days.
They are off today game in Phoenix, Tomorrow, off Friday,
game Saturday, off Sunday game Monday. Seems like, I don't know,
(07:16):
maybe you could have made it work for one of
the circle it on the calendar. This is a game
I want to go to, and I'm going to part
with seventy dollars to park and a couple hundred bucks
to get in the arena instead of watching a Clipper
team without two starters and one of the best players
(07:37):
of his era, Kawhi Leonard. Keep an eye on Evemer.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
He's been moving kind of well for you know, considering
all the previous years where he barely plays. He looks
okay this year.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's a preventative and that's horsecrap. Their next one p
is not till November seventeenth. The NBA has tried to
space out games to prevent this from happening, but apparently
the Clippers don't care. November seventeenth will be their next
back to back. As for the Lakers, we had a
very intense basketball, no grab ass centric conversation with Alan
(08:13):
Sleiewa yesterday, and I'm thinking about how different a conversation
this might be had Rob Polinka not pulled off that
trade for Luka Doncic last year. I am guessing this
would have been a full court press baggage be damned.
But now it is. I believe a curiosity that at
the very least would have to be kicked around in
(08:35):
the Laker front office. And yes, this is Lakers myopia.
It is trade talk, trade talk, my numbing trade talk,
and the Lakers haven't played ten games yet this season,
but I'll see wah right, Might it be possible that
the Lakers, of all teams could put together the best
(08:55):
package for Memphis, at least with the best player as
a centerpiece. In a Jah Morant trait.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
You really want that problem? He got the brown, that's
coach fired.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
He's going to react well to angry ass JJ Reddick.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It'd be fun to watch, wouldn't it? For us? Copy
Ya Morant can be a nightmare, no question, as long
as it doesn't Cutch Mark Walter in the face, don't
punch the owner in the face, don't flash your guns.
But when he's right, he's one of the ten best
players in the league. People would point out usage rate,
the percentage of the time the balls in your hands
(09:31):
when you're on the floor. Luca typically his top three
league wide year in and year out. So how the
hell are he and Jog going to fit together? Right? Well,
it was the exact same question we had about he
and Lebron James also one of the top usage rate
players in the league, and when the dust settled, it
seemed like it worked out fine. Luca's usage rate was
thirty three, Lebron was twenty nine. Last year, Jahn Morant
was thirty one percent. Celtics had Tatum at thirty, Jalen
(09:53):
Brown at twenty eight, the Clippers Harden at twenty nine,
Kawhi at twenty. So it could work, and I'm guessing
off the court, Moran and La could either be well,
it's harder to get into trouble because it's such a
big city and there's not as much of a spotlight
on you like Memphis, or it could be a disaster
because it is a much bigger city with a lot
more trouble to get into.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
He's shown a real lack of maturity.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yes, legendary levels of immaturity. Now, it is not as
far fetched as other myopic trades that many Laker fans
were putting together prior to them landing Anthony Davis and
Luka Doncic. When these trades actually yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Mean, if you're going to come up with stupid ass trades,
it's almost like reality has become stranger than fiction.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Right, because I think half of the league, like you said,
guy gets booed every night for trading Luka donc Right,
I'm good with it. I think, like you said, half
the league, if not three quarters of the league, would
be like, yeah, we're not taking that guy on. He's
a nightmare, that pissy attitude, calling out his coaches, moping
on the court during games. They cannot afford the risk
(11:04):
of trading assets, taking on forty million bucks this year
eighty six million over the next two if it goes sideways,
he gets injured. He's missed about a third of his
game since he's been drafted with either injury or for
flashing a gun on Instagram, which costs him twenty five games.
He's a smaller guard who can't shoot the three, which
a lot of teams are not interested in today's You'd
(11:25):
better be able to shoot the three. NBA. But he's
twenty six freaking years old in twenty two. In twenty
twenty two, he was All NBA and seventh in MVP voting.
You're talking about a top ten player in the league
for a two year stretch in twenty two and twenty three.
And so I bring it up because what does Austin
(11:45):
Reeves want in the offseason? Are you gonna pay the price?
I'm sure he's thinking big numbers. He is as good
or better than some guys on terrible teams that have
been handed like max contracts, and the Akers were able
to cash in on his not being drafted with a
low number extension four years fifty three million bucks, which
(12:06):
he has way out played. He's got a player option
after this season, and no question he's gonna opt out,
and I would say making fourteen million bucks this year,
he's going to want to at least triple that number.
He will want his current number to jump to probably
forty million bucks per season. That's what Desmond Baine just
(12:27):
got after being sent to the Magic. Brandon Ingram is
making forty million bucks, Michael Porter is making thirty seven
million bucks. So that's probably what it's going to cost
to keep Austin Reeves. And remember Luca went to the
finals with who with Kyrie Irving, he was top five
in MVP voting with Jalen Brunson like both of these
(12:49):
smaller penetrating, high usage rate, point ball, dominant attack first
point guards, and Morant is a lot closer to those
guys on Austin Reeves. So if three quarters or eight
tenths of the league, you're trying to sell away the
exciting white my favorite. I love Austin Reeves and his
(13:11):
floppy hair on top of a headband. But I'm simply
asking if if the reality is it's the same amount
of money to pay Austin Reeves to be with the
Lakers for the next four years or five years as
it is John Morant, do you take on because when
they traded for Kyrie Irving in Dallas, it was like,
(13:31):
this guy is a nightmare. His teammates, his coaches hate him,
he gets coaches fired, he mopes on the court. And
what did they do? They went to the finals. Because
Luca's just that dynamic of a personality and likable guy
that Kyrie was good with him. And I think it's
worth kicking around. You could send Austin Reeves out with
(13:55):
the expirings of Gabe Vincent and Maxi Kleeber, give him
Dalton Konnect to start at Tennessee, of course, and uh,
I don't know, Maybe roll the dice and maybe John
Moran joins Luka Doncic. As they move forward after Lebron's
fifty two million bucks come off the books at the
end of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
That is very interesting trade talk, Yes, sell away. I
sell away the exciting white Austin Reeves for a very
very peppery.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Very volatile volatile was told by the NBA please don't
flash a gun on Instagram and then did it two
months later and got a twenty five game suspension. But
that's that was his jam that was playing though, right right,
So I think it's I don't think it's as far
(14:53):
fetched as people might seem, considering.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, who am I to say? Career Well, who am
I to say when all of a sudden the Lakers
traded for Luka Doncic. You know what is it? Right
by the way where people are talking about like the
gambling thing and oh my god, the NBA is not
credible this and that the Luka Doncics trade and then
the turnaround for flag that's a bit of.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
A little wild, right, yeah, a little while, but not Bomber.
He's clean totally. That guy's so cool. Clean is a
whistle way cool.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Hang in there, everybody, We'll be right back with the
college football whipper around back.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
We've made it even easier to take LA sports with

David Bassay is gonna be in for off season hot
Stove Dodger Talk. The GM meetings start on Friday, so
DV gonna give you a little preview as a lot
of folks projecting the Dodgers could in fact go out
there and spend some more money, maybe a monster contract.
(16:17):
I'll get you all those details coming up in about
an hour and a half. And a reminder, Monday, we're
gonna be out in Cerritos. We'd love to see you.
It is our first BJ's Restaurant in brew House live
remote of this football season, going into Monday Night football again.
It's BJ's Restaurant in brew House right off the six
o five at South Street and Cerritos. This Monday. It's
a three to six thirty, not going into Monday Night
football because we'll have the Clippers basketball game here on
(16:39):
a five to seventy, but we will watch that Monday
Night football game together beginning at five pm in that spot,
prizes on site. And again it is this Monday, Si Ritos,
BJ's Restaurant and brew house.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
And like Dave said, perhaps a very special guest and
house of Blues and Serritos. I don't know, Matt, is
it gonna happen? I'd love to see it?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Be awesome?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Good buddy Conmerger for the opening, right, trump, trombone, shorty,
somebody like that?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Be something?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
All right? It is time for the college football whip
around flat. I'm gonna finish up the college football season
with a sprint here to the end of November. The
one thing the twelve team playoff format has generated in
college football in two seasons is fired head coaches. It's
(17:33):
been the most intriguing college football storyline of twenty twenty five,
and the SEC is not playing. Arkansas, Florida, LSU, and
Auburn have all pulled the plug on their head coach.
LSU has won three national titles this century, Florida's won
two this century, and Auburn has won one. All of
(17:54):
those SEC schools firing a man whom they owed tens
of millions of dollars to what makes it even Wilder,
the leading candidate for all of the SEC jobs as
another coach from the SEC, Lane Kiffin and he might
want to go to the NFL, But that's the same
Lane Kiffin who has built Old miss into a playoff
(18:16):
contender and they aren't. Now here is some pretzel logic
on Lane on Lane Kiffin. This is his seventh season
as an SEC head coach, and two weeks ago Lane
finally won his first ever road game against an SEC
(18:37):
ranked opponent at Oklahoma, whose quarterback played with a broken hand.
So even before Lane had won a road game versus
a ranked opponent in conference in the SEC, he was,
for some reason, the most sought after coach for all
four of the SEC openings, as the hottest call of
(19:00):
football coaching commodity. I think you agree Matt Lane would
be stupid not to entertain these suitors.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It's gonna get him paid probably north to fifteen million
per year, and whether he stays or goes, so yeah,
I would assume he's gonna entertain him all through the
banquet circuit.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Right, No, you don't think Ben Boltz was right that
he's gonna go to UCLA.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It's kind of hard to envision that when Florida's sitting
there with twenty million bucks waiting for him.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Lane's rebels debuted at six on this week's playoff standings,
and if old Miss was playing a ranked SEC opponent
this week, we would pick that game in today's win.
But alas Old Miss hosts the Mighty Citadel Bulldog Saturday.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Oh that's it not. Don't sleep on the bolt dogs
of the Citadel. I will with military precision. They will
carve you up.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
They're gonna try, They're gonna keep coming. That's the truth. Yes,
but I'm telling you, these schools are raising the money
to fire these coaches in September and October, but they
have no idea who they will be able to hire.
There are more big jobs open than there are big coaches.
All the schools call superagent Jimmy Sexton, who literally represents
(20:11):
all the coaches, and Jimmy tells them, don't worry, I'll
hook you up. We'll keep our eye on this firing
and hiring cycle because, as you I believe learned, Matt,
it's only going to get crazier.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Oh, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
It's the biggest story of the year. Last week's picks
dipped to three and four. My overall record dropped to
thirty three and twenty seven and twenty twenty five. The
easiest win of the week. I picked Arizona as a
road favorite in Colorado, and the Cats crushed the Buffs.
My toughest loss. Georgia was favored by seven and a
half over Florida. Late in the fourth quarter, the Dogs
(20:51):
were up twenty four to twenty and driving one forty
five left on the on the clock, Georgia has a
first and goal on the Florida one yard line. Clock
has stopped, and instead of punching it into the end zone,
they took three d's and didn't cover.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
What can you do, guys, You know there's a line
out there, right, you know how they'd done just kind
of punch that in there cover the number.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
So without further ado, let's get to this week's picks,
and the college football went flat flow Friday. Northwestern five
and three at number nineteen, USC six and two six
pm on Fox. The Trojans are favored by fourteen and
a half now. USC pulled through with its best win
(21:39):
of the season last week. Sure Nebraska quarterback Dylan Rayola's
leg fell off early in the third quarter and his
replacement struggled, but surviving twenty one to seventeen was a
great example of winning ugly. Speaking of ugly, in the
NBC on Field interview after the game, Lincoln Riley made
a snarky remark about being excited about getting home at
(22:00):
three am and getting ready for a Friday night game
on a short week. Who was that sarcasm intended for
the TV networks picked the games from a predetermined contract.
He has to be aware of that. The Northwestern Friday
game is not a surprise. It's been on the schedule
(22:21):
since the spring when USC joined the Big Ten. Did
Lincoln Riley think USC was still going to play Arizona
and Cal.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I don't know, maybe the Senator.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Oh, they'll keep coming the Bulldogs.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Now his Trojans might have to win ugly again on
Friday Night against Northwestern. The Wildcats running bye last week,
stewing over their loss to Nebraska. They've got four games
left to define their season. Their defense has allowed thirty
points just once this season. They gave up thirty four
to Oregon, and the Trojans only scored twenty one last
week in Lincoln. So I'm gonna take the Wildcats plus
(23:02):
fourteen and a half. I don't think they'll win, but
I think they'll.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Come out the USC's on that short week.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Now, you know, so you think the Wildcats might win, Matt.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm listening to Lincoln Riley after the game, playing late
on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Well, coach doesn't believe in US. I mean, gee, if
coach doesn't want to play, maybe we shouldn't want. I'm
gonna take the Wildcats plus the fourteen and a half
Black Black Saturday, number two Indiana nine to zero at
Penn State three and five. This is at nine am
on Fox. It's Big Noon. Yes, Penn State still weaseled
(23:41):
their way into Big Noon three and five. Because the
Hoosiers are who they are, They're favored by fourteen and
a half. I've been doing my TV and radio work
since two thousand and one, and I would always say,
as you know, Matt, that Gary Barnett performed the greatest
miracle in college football history leading the ninety five Northwestern
(24:01):
team of the Rose bull and a couple of years
later I got to meet and work with Gary Barnett
and he came on our show for a long time.
But I've revised my opinion a little to include what
Jim Harbaugh did at Stanford. Our guest on Monday in
Harbaugh's fourth season is Cardinals team won the BCSPSTI Bowl.
(24:23):
But pretty soon we're going to have to revise the
opinion again because of what Kurt Signetti is doing in Indiana,
because of the transfer portal and nil money. We can
call Signetti's success a modern miracle, and I'm sure Barnett
and Harbaugh would have loved the portal and nil resources,
(24:44):
but achieving what they did at think tanks like Northwestern
and Stanford really does set them apart. As you've always said, Matt,
Indiana has money. Signetti is going to take his Hoosiers
to Happy Valley and take the chain after the Penn
State IU IU moves on to Wisconsin and Purdue, and
(25:09):
Indiana football is about to go twelve and zero. I'm
taking Indiana minus fourteen and a half flat flat number
seven b YU eight.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
This is the game of the year in the Big
twelve so far at number eight Texas Tech eight and
one nine AM on ABC, the Red Raiders are favored
by ten and a half. I'm a little surprised at
the double digit point spread, this being the game of
the year in the Big twelve, straight out of Myria,
(25:44):
out of Valley Go Nighthawks. Bear Bachmeyer is the national
freshman of the Year and this will be his toughest
test yet. I didn't believe him in him and Ames,
and he proved us wrong. Jim McMahon, Steve Young, and
ty Dettmer the greatest quarterbacks in BYU history. Sorry Sark,
(26:05):
but none of them has had a freshman season like Bear.
McMahon and Young were not the BYU starter until they
were juniors. Ty Detmer started as a red shirt freshman
for a nine and four team, but he was a
fifty percent passer with ten picks. Bear Bachmeyer is a
true freshman. He only has eleven touchdown passes, but he
(26:29):
only has three picks, and he's run for four hundred
yards and nine touchdowns. The Red Raiders are favorites and
the best team money can buy, and they're facing a
team of twenty four and twenty five year old Mormon
types who are led by a teenage quarterback from Murietta Valley.
I'm taking BYU plus ten and a half.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Make way.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
For BYU, make way for Byers.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Say Hey he wears number forty seven, which is awesome.
It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
By the way, the youngest bach Meyer coming out of
Murrietta Valley is Buck Bachmeyer. He's a freshman. He's a
lefty quarterback and he pitches. He had a good season
and he just got moved up to varsity for the
playoffs for the Mrietta Valley Nighthawks, the number one seed
(27:31):
in Division two. They take on Tom to Lesco's CDM team. Also,
Buck Bachmeyer is the class Presidentack.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Wow, that spells IVY League as far as I can tell.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yeah, probably gonna play D one based on the brothers,
you know. Colorado's three and six at West Virginia three
and six nine am on T and T. The Mountaineers
are favored by six and a half. In his second
tour of duty in Morgantown, rich Rod led the Mountees
to Houston last week and put forty five points on
(28:08):
the Cougars. The Cougar's turned it over four times. It's
the biggest upset Big twelve this season. Rich Rod has
his offense rolling with a dual threat freshman quarterback named
Scottie Fox, but Colorado will also be starting a true
freshman Julian Lewis, who played the last quarter and a
(28:31):
half in the blowout lost to Arizona. He's gonna get
the call. He was a USC recruit until Deon Sanders
flipped him to Colorado, and now he gets the shot
to start. I believe rich Rod has found his quarterback
in Fox, and Colorado is faltering. I've got almost heaven.
West Virginia minus six and a half, flatten black number nine,
(28:56):
Oregon seven and one at number twenty, Iowa six and
two twelve already on CBS, the Ducks are favored by
six and a half. Iowa's still got a great d though.
Does everybody still believe that Oregon is dope? Dope Dope?
The dreaded College Football Committee disagrees the Ducks were the
biggest loser when the playoff standings were revealed yesterday. Oregon
(29:18):
was ranked sixth by the Associated Press on Sunday, but
Tuesday they were ninth. That's a net negative three spots
matt one factor hurting them as their overtime win at
three and zero Penn State back in September looked great
the night they won, but two weeks later Penn State
lost to UCLA and Northwestern and can James Franklin. Today,
(29:40):
Penn State losing streak has reached five games, and Oregon
paid the price in the college football standups. They can
still play its way into the top five. They play
three ranked teams Iowa, USC and Washington this month, and
they'll be favored in those games. Iowa will run the
ball hard on the Ducks, but Oregon's got the better team.
(30:03):
I'm taking the Ducks minus six and a half black
Clock LSU Alabama five and three versus seven and one,
four point thirty. On ABC, the Tide is favored by
nine and a half. The scramble about filling the LSU
coaching vacancy has become a joke very quickly. The governor's involved.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
It's not like the governor and university presidents and athletic
directors have politicked through the mud.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
It took ten days, but LSU has hired an ad
who can now hire a search for the old fashion.
I fully expect Alabama to kick ass and take names.
I've got the role. Tide minus nine and a half flat.
Nebraska is six and three at UCLA three and five
(30:51):
six o'clock on Fox. Bruins are favored by two and
a half. How about that, Yeah, Nebraska is Matt Rule, Well,
it's a quarterback man. Yeah, Matt Rule received a two
year contract extension before his team let the USC game
slip away. When Huskers quarterback Dylan Rayola broke his leg
last week in the third corner, Nebraska lost any chance
(31:11):
and had to win that game. His replacement la Kid
true freshman TJ. Latife, who played at OULU last season.
Now he's going to start in the rose ball on
Saturday night. But he's haf to play better against UCLA
than he did against USC. And after getting blasted fifty
six to six by Indiana, the Bruins soaked their wounds
(31:33):
over the bye week and over the last four weeks
of the season. This Nebraska game might be UCLA's best
chance to win a game. The Bruins finished the season
at Ohio State, hosting Washington and then at USC. So
I'm going to follow your lead, Matt and take the
gutty little Bruins minus two and a half points. It's
(31:55):
a great day to be alive, a great day to be.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
A boss, great day live, bib brun I said, It's
great to be a lot and bier Bruin.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
It's a great day of Lovey and Bib Brun. I
took the easy way out by taking the Dodgers to
win Game six in Toronto for my prop bet off
the Menu, and that led to bigger and better things
in Game seven. This week's off the menu prop. I'm
going back to the coach in carousel that we began
the whip with. I'm saying an FBS coach will be
(32:26):
fired after this weekend's game. I mean last weekend Auburn
can Hugh Freeze, and I still don't think we've had
a week without at least one firing. So I've got
another FBS coach getting canned this week Black. I have
two FS one games this weekend. Friday, at five o'clock,
I'll be in Orlando for the first time for the
(32:48):
Big twelfth tilt between Houston and Central Florida. The closest
I've ever been to Orlando is I was on a
plane once with Tony Orlando. The Cougar's big twelfth time
hopes and playoff hopes were dealt a serious blow last
week when West Virginia came to Age Town and shocked them.
(33:08):
So we'll see what happens. And then Saturday at six
thirty Pacific, Dan Helly and I will call the UNLV
Colorado State game and that has Mountain West Championship games
implications for Vegas. So we've had a lot of zoom
calls still to come, some zoom calls, a lot of
games to watch, and Tim Kats and Colin Yee have
(33:30):
boards to build as the season finishes up black, So
let's reset the picks. My favorites this week are Indiana, West, Virginia, Oregon, Alabama,
and UCLA all minus the points. Underdog picks are Northwestern
and BYU plus the points des Fruit in Los Waegos.
Everybody enjoy the game. And that's a college football whip
(33:52):
around on Great Sports Talk for this.
Speaker 2 (33:55):

Speaker 2 (35:56):
So secret text.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Us A fine brought to you by your so call
Toyota dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
This is regarding your thumb drive that you're going to
bring with the Game seven recordings so we can relive
it again Matt at the Bejy's and Soritos on Monday,
starting at three o'clock. This text says, some gen z
intern is going to try to vape Matt's thumb drive.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
That's a fair point.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
That's actually something that could happen.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, there are many different sizes and shapes to the
robot these that the people suck their vape through, So
no doubt a thumb drive would be as confusing as
I don't know, a laser pointer, tidestick, all the other
things you might have in your bag. A white out pen,
white out pen, really anything. Yeah, A garage door opener. Yeah,
(36:49):
that's true. They got the big square ones, you know,
the girthy vapes.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
James Worthy just described Wemby how my wife describes me
at bedtime. Huge praying mantis, ready to get to business.
Do you know that's not what I thought of. That
is not what I read.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Maybe it's something that just popped up. It popped up
in his algorithm. You know those praying mantish is like
getting after a wasp or something like that.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
This song blows two black thumbs down. Ah, this guy's black.
So he's talking about the Chargers song that some people liked,
but Matt did not. Nor Matt liked it.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I thought it was I thought it was a good effort. Yeah,
good effort for in stadium play that that that works,
That works in game, not something to.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Matt and see if they're playing it on Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
I've been waiting all day for Sunday night right.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
To hear this song. That god awful song is now
stuck in my head. Buddy is right ear worm. Well,
I don't think Buddy said it was god awful. Matt's
the voice of the He loves Charger fanfare, and he
loves a guy from San Diego that loves the Chargers
and would embrace the fact that they're in La now.
(38:10):
And that is that guy Danim And we've discussed it
your thoughts, Matt.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
I thought you said it perfectly. From Santa Barbara to
San Diego and Los Angeles in between. We love those
Charger fans and I still have lost angel Less. You know,
the BOLTP is their signature phrase. So yeah, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make an effort. I'm gonna make sure the
in game folks know about d E n M. I
thought it was why Guy Reggae, but then you mentioned
(38:38):
to Chris Cornell and the led Zeppelin and I'm confused.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
But whatever, the secret text does a fine brought to
you by your so called Toyota dealers, we make it easy.

Listen to the game here.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
On AMBI seventy LA Sports and on the iHeartRadio app
presented in part by Strauss from the Ballfield to the
job Site Strauss at Strauss dot com and by A
and PM. Too much good stuff, Very good guests today,
the three people that came on a lot of inside
(02:32):
from Dave and Dave with a with a very crushing
World Baseball Classic take which I respect. I respect that
to day.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
He works for the Dodgers and it's it's a Dodger thing.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And he's with those guys and he knows what they
went through, you know. I mean, maybe it's not.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I liked it, man. I liked seeing all the Venezuela.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
You did like seeing plenty of venezuela. You can have
all those guys, and you just can't have show Toni
pitching or Yamamoto pitching. He did say Sasaki too, And
Sasaki is a young guy. So I don't know. But
you know that same season that Otani pitch in the
World Baseball Classic, didn't he get Tommy John at the
end of that year?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, but the Angels used him, you know, like a mule.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Still, I know we're gonna use you like a mule.
And then, yeah, we're not gonna get anything out of
having you here.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Load up your back and get out there, load your pack, mule.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It's time for the story of it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, a continuation sort of of yesterday's top story. I
in fact, did not do any retail therapy last night.
P I did not buy a Ronnie bought a bunch
of stuff. See, some people did. I figured they would
you know you start talking about crystal balls with World
Series dirt in the middle of them for a hundred
bucks and people get excited. Instead, I moved on to
(03:57):
basketball and I got them both. Last night they had
the replay of the Lakers Blazers game on the Tellis
while the wife, Preston, and I were taking in Taco
Tuesday at the l Rancheto, and.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I was inspired clear with Lebron. I believe express written
consent from Lebron.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I believe he filed a trademark application for Taco Tuesday
and was rejected roundly.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Better prejudice, we better get we better get Sweet James.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
That's a legal term, folks, not a thing, you know,
and in Taco Tuesday, can't try it right. Ronnie inspired
me yesterday with his Yoshinoya. The shrimp was excellent comment
and so it must have planted a seed. I ordered
shrimp tacos. Wow last night. Yeah, I was like, you
(04:53):
know what, Maybe Ronnie was onto something. Maybe it is
time for some shrimp. As I took in a replace
DeAndre Ayton and some dude named Nick Smith as they
poured it on the Blazers in the second half. When
I got home. I flipped on the Clipper game. As
I mentioned yesterday, Peacock twelve bucks for an annual last year,
(05:15):
for the whole year at renews the fifth of December
for me, and they won one hundred and sixty dollars.
I hit cancel and a window popped up and said,
how about forty bucks. I'm still thinking about how I'm
gonna play that one, but since I still got, you know,
another month of Peacock the Cock of pe, I figured
I might as well use it. And what did I
tune into? No Kawhi Leonard who did not play because
(05:39):
it was a back to back, And I was like, oh,
it's Kawhi hurt. And so I went over to the
internet there and I clicked on the roster and then
I clicked on the tab that said injuries and it
listed both Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal as did not
play with the word rest in parentheses. So yeah, something's
(06:01):
never changed, just like the uh the Bruce Hornsby were
just playing there You ever meet Bruce Hornsby?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
No, not yet?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Get it? Jell Uh, it's hard to be Eight defending
champs are in town. The Intuit domes packed and both
Bradley Beal and Kawhi Leonard between them, probably fifteen All
Star teams sitting out for rest after losing to the Heat.
When down one at the buzzer, Kawhi took a right
(06:30):
wing three with three defenders on him and missed. Sat
out the next night. James Harden has no fun to watch.
It was painful at times. Last night. They outscored the
Thunder by ten in the first quarter and then the
Thunder blew him out by twenty nine the rest of
the way and won the game handily. But hey, at
least you kept Kawhi fresh for tomorrow's game. It was
(06:52):
the first back to back this year. Apparently after six games,
Kawhi couldn't nor could Bradley Beal possibly be asked to play,
even with just one other game over the next three days.
They are off today game in Phoenix, Tomorrow, off Friday,
game Saturday, off Sunday game Monday. Seems like, I don't know,
(07:16):
maybe you could have made it work for one of
the circle it on the calendar. This is a game
I want to go to, and I'm going to part
with seventy dollars to park and a couple hundred bucks
to get in the arena instead of watching a Clipper
team without two starters and one of the best players
(07:37):
of his era, Kawhi Leonard. Keep an eye on Evemer.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
He's been moving kind of well for you know, considering
all the previous years where he barely plays. He looks
okay this year.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's a preventative and that's horsecrap. Their next one p
is not till November seventeenth. The NBA has tried to
space out games to prevent this from happening, but apparently
the Clippers don't care. November seventeenth will be their next
back to back. As for the Lakers, we had a
very intense basketball, no grab ass centric conversation with Alan
(08:13):
Sleiewa yesterday, and I'm thinking about how different a conversation
this might be had Rob Polinka not pulled off that
trade for Luka Doncic last year. I am guessing this
would have been a full court press baggage be damned.
But now it is. I believe a curiosity that at
the very least would have to be kicked around in
(08:35):
the Laker front office. And yes, this is Lakers myopia.
It is trade talk, trade talk, my numbing trade talk,
and the Lakers haven't played ten games yet this season,
but I'll see wah right, Might it be possible that
the Lakers, of all teams could put together the best
(08:55):
package for Memphis, at least with the best player as
a centerpiece. In a Jah Morant trait.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
You really want that problem? He got the brown, that's
coach fired.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
He's going to react well to angry ass JJ Reddick.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It'd be fun to watch, wouldn't it? For us? Copy
Ya Morant can be a nightmare, no question, as long
as it doesn't Cutch Mark Walter in the face, don't
punch the owner in the face, don't flash your guns.
But when he's right, he's one of the ten best
players in the league. People would point out usage rate,
the percentage of the time the balls in your hands
(09:31):
when you're on the floor. Luca typically his top three
league wide year in and year out. So how the
hell are he and Jog going to fit together? Right? Well,
it was the exact same question we had about he
and Lebron James also one of the top usage rate
players in the league, and when the dust settled, it
seemed like it worked out fine. Luca's usage rate was
thirty three, Lebron was twenty nine. Last year, Jahn Morant
was thirty one percent. Celtics had Tatum at thirty, Jalen
(09:53):
Brown at twenty eight, the Clippers Harden at twenty nine,
Kawhi at twenty. So it could work, and I'm guessing
off the court, Moran and La could either be well,
it's harder to get into trouble because it's such a
big city and there's not as much of a spotlight
on you like Memphis, or it could be a disaster
because it is a much bigger city with a lot
more trouble to get into.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
He's shown a real lack of maturity.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yes, legendary levels of immaturity. Now, it is not as
far fetched as other myopic trades that many Laker fans
were putting together prior to them landing Anthony Davis and
Luka Doncic. When these trades actually yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Mean, if you're going to come up with stupid ass trades,
it's almost like reality has become stranger than fiction.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Right, because I think half of the league, like you said,
guy gets booed every night for trading Luka donc Right,
I'm good with it. I think, like you said, half
the league, if not three quarters of the league, would
be like, yeah, we're not taking that guy on. He's
a nightmare, that pissy attitude, calling out his coaches, moping
on the court during games. They cannot afford the risk
(11:04):
of trading assets, taking on forty million bucks this year
eighty six million over the next two if it goes sideways,
he gets injured. He's missed about a third of his
game since he's been drafted with either injury or for
flashing a gun on Instagram, which costs him twenty five games.
He's a smaller guard who can't shoot the three, which
a lot of teams are not interested in today's You'd
(11:25):
better be able to shoot the three. NBA. But he's
twenty six freaking years old in twenty two. In twenty
twenty two, he was All NBA and seventh in MVP voting.
You're talking about a top ten player in the league
for a two year stretch in twenty two and twenty three.
And so I bring it up because what does Austin
(11:45):
Reeves want in the offseason? Are you gonna pay the price?
I'm sure he's thinking big numbers. He is as good
or better than some guys on terrible teams that have
been handed like max contracts, and the Akers were able
to cash in on his not being drafted with a
low number extension four years fifty three million bucks, which
(12:06):
he has way out played. He's got a player option
after this season, and no question he's gonna opt out,
and I would say making fourteen million bucks this year,
he's going to want to at least triple that number.
He will want his current number to jump to probably
forty million bucks per season. That's what Desmond Baine just
(12:27):
got after being sent to the Magic. Brandon Ingram is
making forty million bucks, Michael Porter is making thirty seven
million bucks. So that's probably what it's going to cost
to keep Austin Reeves. And remember Luca went to the
finals with who with Kyrie Irving, he was top five
in MVP voting with Jalen Brunson like both of these
(12:49):
smaller penetrating, high usage rate, point ball, dominant attack first
point guards, and Morant is a lot closer to those
guys on Austin Reeves. So if three quarters or eight
tenths of the league, you're trying to sell away the
exciting white my favorite. I love Austin Reeves and his
(13:11):
floppy hair on top of a headband. But I'm simply
asking if if the reality is it's the same amount
of money to pay Austin Reeves to be with the
Lakers for the next four years or five years as
it is John Morant, do you take on because when
they traded for Kyrie Irving in Dallas, it was like,
(13:31):
this guy is a nightmare. His teammates, his coaches hate him,
he gets coaches fired, he mopes on the court. And
what did they do? They went to the finals. Because
Luca's just that dynamic of a personality and likable guy
that Kyrie was good with him. And I think it's
worth kicking around. You could send Austin Reeves out with
(13:55):
the expirings of Gabe Vincent and Maxi Kleeber, give him
Dalton Konnect to start at Tennessee, of course, and uh,
I don't know, Maybe roll the dice and maybe John
Moran joins Luka Doncic. As they move forward after Lebron's
fifty two million bucks come off the books at the
end of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
That is very interesting trade talk, Yes, sell away. I
sell away the exciting white Austin Reeves for a very
very peppery.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Very volatile volatile was told by the NBA please don't
flash a gun on Instagram and then did it two
months later and got a twenty five game suspension. But
that's that was his jam that was playing though, right right,
So I think it's I don't think it's as far
(14:53):
fetched as people might seem, considering.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, who am I to say? Career Well, who am
I to say when all of a sudden the Lakers
traded for Luka Doncic. You know what is it? Right
by the way where people are talking about like the
gambling thing and oh my god, the NBA is not
credible this and that the Luka Doncics trade and then
the turnaround for flag that's a bit of.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
A little wild, right, yeah, a little while, but not Bomber.
He's clean totally. That guy's so cool. Clean is a
whistle way cool.
Speaker 4 (15:30):

some money hand five Somebody Sports Live Everywhere on the
iHeartRadio going until seven o'clock to night. And then remember
David Bassay is gonna be in for off season hot
Stove Dodger Talk. The GM meetings start on Friday, so
DV gonna give you a little preview as a lot
of folks projecting the Dodgers could in fact go out
there and spend some more money, maybe a monster contract.
(16:17):
I'll get you all those details coming up in about
an hour and a half. And a reminder, Monday, we're
gonna be out in Cerritos. We'd love to see you.
It is our first BJ's Restaurant in brew House live
remote of this football season, going into Monday Night football again.
It's BJ's Restaurant in brew House right off the six
o five at South Street and Cerritos. This Monday. It's
a three to six thirty, not going into Monday Night
football because we'll have the Clippers basketball game here on
(16:39):
a five to seventy, but we will watch that Monday
Night football game together beginning at five pm in that spot,
prizes on site. And again it is this Monday, Si Ritos,
BJ's Restaurant and brew house.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
And like Dave said, perhaps a very special guest and
house of Blues and Serritos. I don't know, Matt, is
it gonna happen? I'd love to see it?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Be awesome?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Good buddy Conmerger for the opening, right, trump, trombone, shorty,
somebody like that?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Be something?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
All right? It is time for the college football whip
around flat. I'm gonna finish up the college football season
with a sprint here to the end of November. The
one thing the twelve team playoff format has generated in
college football in two seasons is fired head coaches. It's
(17:33):
been the most intriguing college football storyline of twenty twenty five,
and the SEC is not playing. Arkansas, Florida, LSU, and
Auburn have all pulled the plug on their head coach.
LSU has won three national titles this century, Florida's won
two this century, and Auburn has won one. All of
(17:54):
those SEC schools firing a man whom they owed tens
of millions of dollars to what makes it even Wilder,
the leading candidate for all of the SEC jobs as
another coach from the SEC, Lane Kiffin and he might
want to go to the NFL, But that's the same
Lane Kiffin who has built Old miss into a playoff
(18:16):
contender and they aren't. Now here is some pretzel logic
on Lane on Lane Kiffin. This is his seventh season
as an SEC head coach, and two weeks ago Lane
finally won his first ever road game against an SEC
(18:37):
ranked opponent at Oklahoma, whose quarterback played with a broken hand.
So even before Lane had won a road game versus
a ranked opponent in conference in the SEC, he was,
for some reason, the most sought after coach for all
four of the SEC openings, as the hottest call of
(19:00):
football coaching commodity. I think you agree Matt Lane would
be stupid not to entertain these suitors.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It's gonna get him paid probably north to fifteen million
per year, and whether he stays or goes, so yeah,
I would assume he's gonna entertain him all through the
banquet circuit.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Right, No, you don't think Ben Boltz was right that
he's gonna go to UCLA.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It's kind of hard to envision that when Florida's sitting
there with twenty million bucks waiting for him.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Lane's rebels debuted at six on this week's playoff standings,
and if old Miss was playing a ranked SEC opponent
this week, we would pick that game in today's win.
But alas Old Miss hosts the Mighty Citadel Bulldog Saturday.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Oh that's it not. Don't sleep on the bolt dogs
of the Citadel. I will with military precision. They will
carve you up.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
They're gonna try, They're gonna keep coming. That's the truth. Yes,
but I'm telling you, these schools are raising the money
to fire these coaches in September and October, but they
have no idea who they will be able to hire.
There are more big jobs open than there are big coaches.
All the schools call superagent Jimmy Sexton, who literally represents
(20:11):
all the coaches, and Jimmy tells them, don't worry, I'll
hook you up. We'll keep our eye on this firing
and hiring cycle because, as you I believe learned, Matt,
it's only going to get crazier.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Oh, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
It's the biggest story of the year. Last week's picks
dipped to three and four. My overall record dropped to
thirty three and twenty seven and twenty twenty five. The
easiest win of the week. I picked Arizona as a
road favorite in Colorado, and the Cats crushed the Buffs.
My toughest loss. Georgia was favored by seven and a
half over Florida. Late in the fourth quarter, the Dogs
(20:51):
were up twenty four to twenty and driving one forty
five left on the on the clock, Georgia has a
first and goal on the Florida one yard line. Clock
has stopped, and instead of punching it into the end zone,
they took three d's and didn't cover.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
What can you do, guys, You know there's a line
out there, right, you know how they'd done just kind
of punch that in there cover the number.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
So without further ado, let's get to this week's picks,
and the college football went flat flow Friday. Northwestern five
and three at number nineteen, USC six and two six
pm on Fox. The Trojans are favored by fourteen and
a half now. USC pulled through with its best win
(21:39):
of the season last week. Sure Nebraska quarterback Dylan Rayola's
leg fell off early in the third quarter and his
replacement struggled, but surviving twenty one to seventeen was a
great example of winning ugly. Speaking of ugly, in the
NBC on Field interview after the game, Lincoln Riley made
a snarky remark about being excited about getting home at
(22:00):
three am and getting ready for a Friday night game
on a short week. Who was that sarcasm intended for
the TV networks picked the games from a predetermined contract.
He has to be aware of that. The Northwestern Friday
game is not a surprise. It's been on the schedule
(22:21):
since the spring when USC joined the Big Ten. Did
Lincoln Riley think USC was still going to play Arizona
and Cal.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I don't know, maybe the Senator.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Oh, they'll keep coming the Bulldogs.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Now his Trojans might have to win ugly again on
Friday Night against Northwestern. The Wildcats running bye last week,
stewing over their loss to Nebraska. They've got four games
left to define their season. Their defense has allowed thirty
points just once this season. They gave up thirty four
to Oregon, and the Trojans only scored twenty one last
week in Lincoln. So I'm gonna take the Wildcats plus
(23:02):
fourteen and a half. I don't think they'll win, but
I think they'll.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Come out the USC's on that short week.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Now, you know, so you think the Wildcats might win, Matt.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm listening to Lincoln Riley after the game, playing late
on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Well, coach doesn't believe in US. I mean, gee, if
coach doesn't want to play, maybe we shouldn't want. I'm
gonna take the Wildcats plus the fourteen and a half
Black Black Saturday, number two Indiana nine to zero at
Penn State three and five. This is at nine am
on Fox. It's Big Noon. Yes, Penn State still weaseled
(23:41):
their way into Big Noon three and five. Because the
Hoosiers are who they are, They're favored by fourteen and
a half. I've been doing my TV and radio work
since two thousand and one, and I would always say,
as you know, Matt, that Gary Barnett performed the greatest
miracle in college football history leading the ninety five Northwestern
(24:01):
team of the Rose bull and a couple of years
later I got to meet and work with Gary Barnett
and he came on our show for a long time.
But I've revised my opinion a little to include what
Jim Harbaugh did at Stanford. Our guest on Monday in
Harbaugh's fourth season is Cardinals team won the BCSPSTI Bowl.
(24:23):
But pretty soon we're going to have to revise the
opinion again because of what Kurt Signetti is doing in Indiana,
because of the transfer portal and nil money. We can
call Signetti's success a modern miracle, and I'm sure Barnett
and Harbaugh would have loved the portal and nil resources,
(24:44):
but achieving what they did at think tanks like Northwestern
and Stanford really does set them apart. As you've always said, Matt,
Indiana has money. Signetti is going to take his Hoosiers
to Happy Valley and take the chain after the Penn
State IU IU moves on to Wisconsin and Purdue, and
(25:09):
Indiana football is about to go twelve and zero. I'm
taking Indiana minus fourteen and a half flat flat number
seven b YU eight.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
This is the game of the year in the Big
twelve so far at number eight Texas Tech eight and
one nine AM on ABC, the Red Raiders are favored
by ten and a half. I'm a little surprised at
the double digit point spread, this being the game of
the year in the Big twelve, straight out of Myria,
(25:44):
out of Valley Go Nighthawks. Bear Bachmeyer is the national
freshman of the Year and this will be his toughest
test yet. I didn't believe him in him and Ames,
and he proved us wrong. Jim McMahon, Steve Young, and
ty Dettmer the greatest quarterbacks in BYU history. Sorry Sark,
(26:05):
but none of them has had a freshman season like Bear.
McMahon and Young were not the BYU starter until they
were juniors. Ty Detmer started as a red shirt freshman
for a nine and four team, but he was a
fifty percent passer with ten picks. Bear Bachmeyer is a
true freshman. He only has eleven touchdown passes, but he
(26:29):
only has three picks, and he's run for four hundred
yards and nine touchdowns. The Red Raiders are favorites and
the best team money can buy, and they're facing a
team of twenty four and twenty five year old Mormon
types who are led by a teenage quarterback from Murietta Valley.
I'm taking BYU plus ten and a half.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Make way.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
For BYU, make way for Byers.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Say Hey he wears number forty seven, which is awesome.
It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
By the way, the youngest bach Meyer coming out of
Murrietta Valley is Buck Bachmeyer. He's a freshman. He's a
lefty quarterback and he pitches. He had a good season
and he just got moved up to varsity for the
playoffs for the Mrietta Valley Nighthawks, the number one seed
(27:31):
in Division two. They take on Tom to Lesco's CDM team. Also,
Buck Bachmeyer is the class Presidentack.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Wow, that spells IVY League as far as I can tell.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yeah, probably gonna play D one based on the brothers,
you know. Colorado's three and six at West Virginia three
and six nine am on T and T. The Mountaineers
are favored by six and a half. In his second
tour of duty in Morgantown, rich Rod led the Mountees
to Houston last week and put forty five points on
(28:08):
the Cougars. The Cougar's turned it over four times. It's
the biggest upset Big twelve this season. Rich Rod has
his offense rolling with a dual threat freshman quarterback named
Scottie Fox, but Colorado will also be starting a true
freshman Julian Lewis, who played the last quarter and a
(28:31):
half in the blowout lost to Arizona. He's gonna get
the call. He was a USC recruit until Deon Sanders
flipped him to Colorado, and now he gets the shot
to start. I believe rich Rod has found his quarterback
in Fox, and Colorado is faltering. I've got almost heaven.
West Virginia minus six and a half, flatten black number nine,
(28:56):
Oregon seven and one at number twenty, Iowa six and
two twelve already on CBS, the Ducks are favored by
six and a half. Iowa's still got a great d though.
Does everybody still believe that Oregon is dope? Dope Dope?
The dreaded College Football Committee disagrees the Ducks were the
biggest loser when the playoff standings were revealed yesterday. Oregon
(29:18):
was ranked sixth by the Associated Press on Sunday, but
Tuesday they were ninth. That's a net negative three spots
matt one factor hurting them as their overtime win at
three and zero Penn State back in September looked great
the night they won, but two weeks later Penn State
lost to UCLA and Northwestern and can James Franklin. Today,
(29:40):
Penn State losing streak has reached five games, and Oregon
paid the price in the college football standups. They can
still play its way into the top five. They play
three ranked teams Iowa, USC and Washington this month, and
they'll be favored in those games. Iowa will run the
ball hard on the Ducks, but Oregon's got the better team.
(30:03):
I'm taking the Ducks minus six and a half black
Clock LSU Alabama five and three versus seven and one,
four point thirty. On ABC, the Tide is favored by
nine and a half. The scramble about filling the LSU
coaching vacancy has become a joke very quickly. The governor's involved.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
It's not like the governor and university presidents and athletic
directors have politicked through the mud.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
It took ten days, but LSU has hired an ad
who can now hire a search for the old fashion.
I fully expect Alabama to kick ass and take names.
I've got the role. Tide minus nine and a half flat.
Nebraska is six and three at UCLA three and five
(30:51):
six o'clock on Fox. Bruins are favored by two and
a half. How about that, Yeah, Nebraska is Matt Rule, Well,
it's a quarterback man. Yeah, Matt Rule received a two
year contract extension before his team let the USC game
slip away. When Huskers quarterback Dylan Rayola broke his leg
last week in the third corner, Nebraska lost any chance
(31:11):
and had to win that game. His replacement la Kid
true freshman TJ. Latife, who played at OULU last season.
Now he's going to start in the rose ball on
Saturday night. But he's haf to play better against UCLA
than he did against USC. And after getting blasted fifty
six to six by Indiana, the Bruins soaked their wounds
(31:33):
over the bye week and over the last four weeks
of the season. This Nebraska game might be UCLA's best
chance to win a game. The Bruins finished the season
at Ohio State, hosting Washington and then at USC. So
I'm going to follow your lead, Matt and take the
gutty little Bruins minus two and a half points. It's
(31:55):
a great day to be alive, a great day to be.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
A boss, great day live, bib brun I said, It's
great to be a lot and bier Bruin.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
It's a great day of Lovey and Bib Brun. I
took the easy way out by taking the Dodgers to
win Game six in Toronto for my prop bet off
the Menu, and that led to bigger and better things
in Game seven. This week's off the menu prop. I'm
going back to the coach in carousel that we began
the whip with. I'm saying an FBS coach will be
(32:26):
fired after this weekend's game. I mean last weekend Auburn
can Hugh Freeze, and I still don't think we've had
a week without at least one firing. So I've got
another FBS coach getting canned this week Black. I have
two FS one games this weekend. Friday, at five o'clock,
I'll be in Orlando for the first time for the
(32:48):
Big twelfth tilt between Houston and Central Florida. The closest
I've ever been to Orlando is I was on a
plane once with Tony Orlando. The Cougar's big twelfth time
hopes and playoff hopes were dealt a serious blow last
week when West Virginia came to Age Town and shocked them.
(33:08):
So we'll see what happens. And then Saturday at six
thirty Pacific, Dan Helly and I will call the UNLV
Colorado State game and that has Mountain West Championship games
implications for Vegas. So we've had a lot of zoom
calls still to come, some zoom calls, a lot of
games to watch, and Tim Kats and Colin Yee have
(33:30):
boards to build as the season finishes up black, So
let's reset the picks. My favorites this week are Indiana, West, Virginia, Oregon, Alabama,
and UCLA all minus the points. Underdog picks are Northwestern
and BYU plus the points des Fruit in Los Waegos.
Everybody enjoy the game. And that's a college football whip
(33:52):
around on Great Sports Talk for this.

This is regarding your thumb drive that you're going to

intern is going to try to vape Matt's thumb drive.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
That's a fair point.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
That's actually something that could happen.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, there are many different sizes and shapes to the
robot these that the people suck their vape through, So
no doubt a thumb drive would be as confusing as
I don't know, a laser pointer, tidestick, all the other
things you might have in your bag. A white out pen,
white out pen, really anything. Yeah, A garage door opener. Yeah,
(36:49):
that's true. They got the big square ones, you know,
the girthy vapes.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
James Worthy just described Wemby how my wife describes me
at bedtime. Huge praying mantis, ready to get to business.
Do you know that's not what I thought of. That
is not what I read.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Maybe it's something that just popped up. It popped up
in his algorithm. You know those praying mantish is like
getting after a wasp or something like that.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
This song blows two black thumbs down. Ah, this guy's black.
So he's talking about the Chargers song that some people liked,
but Matt did not. Nor Matt liked it.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I thought it was I thought it was a good effort. Yeah,
good effort for in stadium play that that that works,
That works in game, not something to.

And that is that guy Danim And we've discussed it
