Home for college football Saturdays is live with CBS Sports
analyst Rick Neuheisel, powered by Taco Time. Hungry at Taco Time,
It's easy to create exactly what you're craving, and we
wouldn't have it any other way. How do you Taco
Time customize your mealing order ahead on the Taco Time
Northwest Taco Time Time for something different? Now with Rick Neuheisel,
(00:45):
Here's Softian Dick, I Bons and girls.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Here we go in a busy Wednesday night. Normally this man.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Would join us at three twenty on Thursdays. But tomorrow's Thanksgiving,
and I don't think Rick Neuheisel, I know he likes us,
but I don't think he wants to spend third Thanksgiving
with us. We're giving Kevin Harlan the day off, Rick
full disclosure. So you are you're taking Harlan spot here
on the radio program.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I am thrilled to be with you boys today and tomorrow.
I would have been fine with you as well, except
I'll be in the air. I'm in Arizona. I'm going
to celebrate Thanksgiving to day with my crew, and then
I got to fly back because we got a double
header on Friday, and then we bring the Oregon Ducks
at the Washington Huskies on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Be interested in.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
That little game, just a little bit happening over there
at that little venerable spot called Husky Stadium.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeap, just a little bit. Well, let me let me
first of all, because I don't want to get in
trouble here. Let me just start the radio show properly.
Another win for you prop UNLV getting it done against Hawaii.
You've crawled back to seven and seven on the air,
So we're looking to get to above five hundred today
whether you're talking time pick of the week, But why
don't we first of all start off by I don't
(01:59):
know how much you saw the game last week.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It was a late game on the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Obviously, seven thirty in La, but man, Ucla just looked
terrible against you. Dub Jedfish up thirty four to seven
early fourth quarter, is going for it on fourth and
one with Joanah Coleman and a gigantic knee brace.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Just to get the guy that touchdown.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
It's like the words shut her down do not exist
and Jedfish's vocabulary.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Rick at all.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Yeah, listen, not only that it was did I watch it?
Speaker 7 (02:30):
I stayed up for every excruciating.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Moment of it because if my son had to go
through it, I said, I'm going through it too. Yeah,
it was a terrible night for the Bruins, and we
could get into that story, but it's not necessary. It
was in the great night for Washington. They won at
the Rose Bowl and who knows if they'll be there
again anytime soon. So that was a cool thing. Jed
obviously spent some time there, so there was some nostalgia
(02:54):
for him, and look, he's trying to win games, no
grudge held understood. At the end of the day, It'll
be interesting to see now where Jed is. He's got
this huge opportunity to get a win over a college
football playoff bound Ducks, and maybe he could knock them out.
(03:14):
That would be exciting for Washington fans. And he could
also get himself in position to get a tenth win,
which I think would be a monumental step in the
right direction as they head down the path to the future.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Well, m coach, the questions are twofold going into that
game on Saturday. One is how much trouble is Oregon
in going to Husky Stadium? And the second part would
be if Washington does beat Oregon, how much trouble is
Oregon in getting into the CFP.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
I think they're out.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
I think they have to win.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
I think there's too many ten and two teams lurking.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Vanderbilt.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Vanderbilt beats Tennessee in Niland Stadium. That's a team that
probably could get there. You've got Texas. I know they
are a three loss team, but Texas with a big, big,
monumental win over Texas A and M might get the
judge's nod. You've got Miami sitting there outside looking in.
(04:14):
That solves a problem for the committee because they don't
want to put them ahead of Notre Dame even though
they beat them. That's a team that could jump in.
It's not any place you want to be. If you're Oregon,
there's a chance they could survive it, but I wouldn't
test the water.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, well, what is the elixir to beating this duck
football team? I mean, obviously Indiana did it, but that's Indiana,
right Not a lot of people are Indiana right now,
which is still crazy to say in twenty twenty five
that the measuring stick is the freaking Indiana Hoosiers.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But here we are. What's the elixir?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
What's the magic potion you think for taking these guys
down Saturday?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Shutting down the running game? Yeah, they do not have
a huge wide receiver room right now, and I don't
know that to Corey and Moore or Gary what's the
kid's name, Gary Blanket on his Brian talking about Gary Bryan, Yeah,
Gary Brian, if he's available, I don't know. They were
(05:16):
not available last week. And I'm sure they're trying to
get him healthy, but I don't know that they'll be ready.
And because of that lack of depth there, it's the
ability to slow these guys down. They have four guys
that average over five yards to carry. It's an incredible
running game and if you don't stop it, it's gonna
bludgeon you and then create all sorts of play action
(05:37):
opportunities for a couple of big tight ends and the
guys who are left in the wide receiver room. And
that's where you just don't want to find yourself if
you can stop the running game, which is listen Indiana
in the second half, other than the last drive where
they were two scores down and made some yards, was
held the forty one yards total offense in the second half.
(05:58):
Held the Ducks to forty one yards total offense in
the second half.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
Rick, I think this is a defensive battle.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I mean, I think the two maybe the two best
units on the field might be the Husky defense and
the Oregon defense.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
Maybe speak to the Husky defense because I think it's.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Even so underrated all season long, when all the talk
preseason was demand Denzel Jonah scoring points, it's really been
the defense that has been by far the most consistent
side of the ball for Washington.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, Ryan Walters deserves a big pat on the back.
That's been a great job that he's done defensively. He's
had answers against the zone reads stuff. Last week he
went to basically a modified cover zero where the safety
came down to take the quarterback and make plays even
in the backfield. He's done really well. The question is
(06:47):
can he do it against the speed that exists At Oregon,
UCLA had no speed advantage. That won't be the case
with this high flying duct team.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well, Rick new heisl's with us.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
And one guy that I'd like to have out there
is Jacob Man who he's the transfer from Arizona.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know, blew his acl out.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I think it was a year ago and just came
back a little bit in the last couple of weeks,
a couple of months or so, and he had four
games to play before his red shirt got burned. He's
suing and he wants his five for five and he
hasn't heard yet from anybody on whether or not he's
getting that. So right now, Jedfish and Jacob have no
choice but to play by the NCAA's rules. And Jedfish
(07:26):
played him on Saturday at the Rose Bowl and that's it.
A lot of us thought maybe he'd wait until the
Organ game, but Jed said that Jacob came to him
early in the year and said, I'm from La Servite, Anaheim.
I'd like to play at the Rose Bowl. In front
of family and friends, and Jed said, Okay, so a
lot of Husky fans are wondering, is that something you
would have agreed to do or would you have told
(07:48):
Jacob looks and I'd love to take care of you,
but I got to have you against the ducks man.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
There would have been some horse trade, and I'm sure, yeah,
trying to figure out a way to make it a
win win situation. But I certainly understand, you know, the
dream of playing in the Rose Bowl and having that
opportunity in front of friends and family, and I certainly
understand Jed making the promise. So if the kid that's
what the kid wanted to do, then I get following
(08:14):
through on that. And we've just got to find somebody
next man up principal in football.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
But this four we got to go to five for five.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
There's too many people getting extra eligibility. There's too many
people that are won in the courtroom for these other
kids not to be given the same treatment. And I
hate that if you just get the wrong judge, you
don't get to play, because it doesn't seem fair at all.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I'm seeing beautiful weather for ann Arbor, Michigan on Saturday,
Rick fifteen mile an hour wins periods of snow, sleet,
freezing rain, and two to four inches of snowfall for
Michigan or for Michigan and Ohio State. Does that even
the playing field a little bit? Or does that give
all the favorites even more an advantage?
Speaker 6 (09:01):
You know what was interesting to me is I said
prior to the game this week that Ohio State played
right into Michigan's hands last year by trying to play bulleyball,
you know, taking the bait that, hey, this is a slugfest.
You guys aren't tough enough to handle the trenches. So
they basically limited their their their high flying receivers and
just played you know, nine on seven and kind of
(09:24):
gave their advantage away. If you're telling me that's the weather,
that advantage might be taken away anyway. So this is
exactly what Michigan's pulling for, and it's going to be
a yeoman effort by a kind of a beat up
Buckeye team to get this done.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, well, Rick new Heiseel's with us, and Rick I
got to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
We got an email the other.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Day from Bovada, who's got Jedfish is the new favorite
to land the Florida job. I guess there's an assumption
that Kiffin goes to LSU right potentially ditch that gig.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
That's definitely out there. Yeah, definitely out there. I got
a source that said that's a confirmation.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Okay, So if that happens and the Florida job then
remains vacant, is beating Oregon enough for the Florida High
Power to lums to turn an eye to the Pacific
Northwest and really consider Jedfish at the top of their.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
List, You know, I think, and I don't know where
Steve Spurrier's been on Jet because I don't know that
he threw Jet's name out there, but I know he
threw Eli Drinkwitz's name out there Missouri as a guy that, yeah,
that he would really like to see involved in this deal.
So I think that Eli is the favorite. So hopefully
(10:37):
Husky fans can rest easy that Jedfish will be back
and happily back wanting to be the head coach of
the Huskies.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Lane's got much more hype than Jed does, much more
name familiarity nationally. Is he a better coach than Jedfish.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Oh, I don't know. I think they're both tactical coaches.
Both like to call of plays. Both are you know,
guys that enjoy pouring over film and looking for new
ways to do things. I think Jed has probably more
experience a different offenses and things of that nature, having
(11:15):
been so many different places and so many systems. But
I think both are interesting guys and make for great
college football coaches. Yeah, I would always I always thought
that Jed would want eventually to get to the NFL.
I never felt that way about Lane, even though that's
where his career started.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
We'll wait and see.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Rick new isislah with us.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I don't know if you saw this news about the Heisman,
but they're limiting the window to forty eight hours for
voting from Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I believed a Monday afternoon.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
So nobody's sitting around for three days waiting to decide
who they're going to vote for for the Heisman. And
I don't know, I just wonder if it's for Anando
Mendoza's right now. Can we just give Fernando Mendoza the
Heisman Trophy today and be on with it, or is
there actually something to play for this weekend in your mind.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
I'm telling you, don't count out that little kid, Diego
Papa at Vanderbilt. I think Diego, if he has another
monster game against those boys at Knoxville, I think he's
going to be right in the mix of it. And
I wouldn't be surprised to see a guy like Trinidad
Chandliss to climb the ranks, or Ty Simpson with some
(12:25):
heroics in the Iron Bowl, or any of these guys.
What's been fascinating about this year is the incredible amount
of wind change in terms of who has been the favorite.
Dante More was a favorite for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
So it's been crazy.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
I think it's going to be one of the great
Heisman presentations recent memory, because I don't.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Think any of us is going to know Rick.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
A few minutes ago, you brought up Texas if they
can pull off the upset. You think a three lost
Texas team could sneak into the back door of the
college football playoffs? Do they pull that upset off? Albe
at minor one? I think they're two and a half
point dogs home.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
I think they actually win the game. I think they're
a better team at home. I still think to Texas
amm is a little bit of fools gold. I think
Marcel reads fantastic, but I think the Texas defense, especially
in this kind of environment, is going to play inspired football.
And I'm going to say Texas pulls an upset.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, how about what's happening down at USC.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I just saw where Lincoln Riley said he's not going anywhere,
much to the chagrin of a lot of USC fans.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
By the way, it's like, damn it, man.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
In the if you saw what happened over the weekend,
there was a young reporter that asked Lincoln Riley about
the Oregon fans holding up a sign that they wanted
to extend Lincoln, as if to say, you know, we'd
like you to stay forever because we like beating you
every single year.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Lincoln kind of popped off on him a little bit.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
There was some embarrassing moments from the athletics staff as
well down there in Eugene, Oregon. I mean, this seems
like a friggin mess man in LA. Can they bring
Lincoln back? Can they afford to bring him back again?
Or resist a year where they got to finally swallow
it and buy him out.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
They can't buy him out. It's ninety million. It's ninety million.
Think that through. They can't do it. They're stuck with
the their Lincoln. Whether they wanted a new Chevy or
a Dodge, they got a Lincoln, and they're gonna have
to see if that can get better. I think there
was improvement this year. I've been around Lincoln Raley. He's
(14:27):
a nice enough guy. There's nothing really wrong with Lincoln.
I don't know that he's a detailed guy from a
head coaching standpoint. I think he's a detailed guy when
it comes to offense, and I think some of the
stuff it gets away, which makes for a little bit
of a divided Trojan alumni base, which is always a problem.
(14:47):
That's what ended up getting Clay Helton, That's what ended
up getting a lot of the Trojan coaches.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
In the past.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
They when they get divided, it's just a matter of time.
But they cannot afford to get it rid of him.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Now.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
They were hopeful that.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Maybe some of these big suitors in the SEC would
have wanted them. A little Lincoln Riley and a win
at Oregon would have created a market.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Rick I read an article in the Athletic today, and
the writer was complaining that Miami could miss the playoffs
and the ACC title game despite being the highest ranked
team in their power for conference.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
Is that a legit complaint.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Yeah, it's a legit complaint. But it's how crazy because
of the size of these conference schedules, how crazy the
conference rosters are, how crazy the schedules are, and how
disparate they are. You're not always going to play the
same schedule, and because of it, we're going to have
really good teams that sit outside watching Georgia. Think this through, guys.
(15:45):
If A and M wins and Alabama wins, they will
play in the SEC Championship game. George is the number
four team in the College Football Playoff Bowl. They won't
have to play in the SEC Championship Game. They won't
have to play in the first round. They get a
free pass, which means complete rehabilitation time to get ready
(16:05):
for a January first ball. I mean, that is an incredible,
incredible opportunity. And I'll promise you if the Ducks get
the Dogs, they do not in any way, shape or
form want to see Michigan win that game, because that
would mean they have to play next week. And they
want those their receivers to get healthy and so forth.
They don't want to go play again. We're going to
(16:27):
I think we're precariously close to the end of conference
championship games.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, they're worthless. I mean, for lack of a better term,
they're worthless. I mean they make money on TV. I guess,
they make money at the gate, I guess. But most
teams would rather not play them, don't you think.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Remember Carson Beck got hurt in the Georgia SEC championship
game last year. So this is this is we're getting close.
And the fact that they just extended the deadline to
determine what the CFP will look like next year. It
was going to be December one, they moved it to
January twenty third. I think we may go past sixteen
and go all the way to twenty four. Do not
be shocked if we go to twenty four teams.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Well, I gotta tell you, man, I like Georgia to
win the whole thing. If I'm taking a slight underdog,
I think they have the best resume in college football.
I know why they're ranked fourth because they have a loss,
but they've got three wins over top nineteen teams. Nobody
else in college football can even come close to saying that.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Rick and in their DNA, they know how to win
a close game. Kirby Smart likes to call it, we're
hard to kill and they'd only have to win three games.
That to me is incredibly fortunate. If you get a
really healthy team and a confident gunner stocked and they
will be hard to kill.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Well, speaking of killing, you've been killing it on the
Taco Time Pick of the week. Man, I'm going to
go with you, Chris beef burrito, the spicy tator fries,
the spicy rams. You are on a heater right now,
six and two in your last eight games on the
air to climb back from.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
The dead, from the dead to get to seven and seven.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Who do you like?
Speaker 6 (18:02):
We're going? You know what those who follow these trends
called the Hawaii game.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
The get right game.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Right that's the last game on the schedule. Yeah, you've
had a rough Saturday. You go to find out what
the line is in Hawaii. All I can tell you
is Timmy Chang's Rainbow Warriors have had a great year.
They have seven wins. Wyoming's come into town. They lost
last week to UNLB. I know because of the way
(18:30):
this team is played, they're going to play great at home.
The Cowboys can't go anywhere. Give me Wyoming, excuse me, Hawaii.
I'll lay the ten and a half. They're going to
win by two touchdowns or more. This is Hawaii and
we're going to get ourselves to the right side of
the law.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I actually got an early Christmas gift for you, pal.
It's down to eight and a half. How about that?
Even better value?
Speaker 8 (18:55):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (18:56):
I love I love value.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Hawaii concerns me?
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Why it is? Who cares if somebody knows something that
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Yeah, as long as that little as long as that
little freshman quarterbacks playing, I'm happy.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Absolutely uh Hawaii minus the eight and a half against
Wyoming over the weekend. All right, man, listen, have a
great stuff a Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Enjoy yourself today, enjoy yourself tomorrow, Dogs and Ducks.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You'll be on the studio call for that game. Is
that right Saturday?
Speaker 7 (19:24):
I can I cannot wait, I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I love it. Go get them in. We'll talk soon, Bud.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
All right, Jack, Thanksgiving you as well.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Now.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Rick Mwisel with us on the radio show We're going
to break a lot more to get to, including Lane
Lambert will join us before tonight's Dallas Kracking game around
six ten tonight before faced off at six thirty or
excuse me, seven o'clock pregame at six thirty. Right here
on ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
This is Duke of Duke Seafood and this hour is
brought to you by Duke Seafood. Why don't you make
it a Duke's night tonight. Reserve your table today at
dukeseafood dot com. Now back to Softy and Dick on support.
It's Radio ninety three point three KJR.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Al Right, I know how much Dick likes predictions. I
love predictions.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
We just say we go round the room and put
it on record as to what's going to happen on
Saturday at Husky Stadium at twelve thirty. We're not going
to be here tomorrow and Friday. We've got three football
games right tomorrow starting at ten o'clock. We got the
Bears and Eagles and A and M in Texas on Friday.
So the next time we talk to you after this
show comes to an end will be Saturday morning at
eight thirty from Husky Stadium and then Monday at three o'clock. So,
(20:30):
Oregon number nine scoring defense in the country, Husky's nineteenth.
Oregon number eight scoring offense in the country Husky's nineteenth.
They're very similar when it comes to the overall rankings
of their scoring defense and their scoring offense. One of
the big differences is what Oregon's doing in the run
game versus what you dub is doing in the run game.
Oregon's always good when it comes to running the ball.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
We all know that number eight and rushing Huskies are
fifty seventh running the ball.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Jonah Coleman says he's gonna play. We'll see if he
even wins the knee brace. By the way, in this
game on Saturday, Huskies are getting six and a half.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
What's the total by the way, Oh, it's fifty in
the fifties, fifty one and a half. So Vegas is
looking at a twenty six, twenty four, twenty six, twenty
five type game, whatever, right, something like that on Saturday
at a fifty they're looking at a thirty to twenty
three game.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yeah, potentially something like that, right, If it's the spread
is if they cover correct, right, So what happens?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
What's your prediction, Jackson? For Saturday?
Speaker 10 (21:32):
I'm gonna say Oregon wins twenty seven to twenty one,
so barely cover for you, dub Okay. I do think
that you dub is going to have a chance to
go down the field and win this thing late, but
I think Oregon's defense is just too good.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Twenty seven to twenty one. Ducks, So twenty seven to
twenty one. But the Huskies have the ball and they
can deny yep.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Okay, So are they.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Leading twenty one to twenty and Oregon takes the lead
to go up twenty seven to twenty one?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Or is it? Is it a twenty.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Seven thirteen game where the Husky get a score late
and then happen to get the ball back for one
more shot to win the game.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
I think it's something like twenty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
The Huskies get a field goal or in that fourth
quarter they get the ball back. We think, oh my god,
they could go win this thing by a point, but
Oregon's defense is too good.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
All right, but Huskies cover?
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Okay?
Speaker 9 (22:16):
All right, Dick, I'm almost exactly what Jackson. I scores
twenty seven to twenty.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I think though, that it's gonna be a game at halftime,
like thirteen to ten Oregon. But I think we're gonna
look at it like kind of like we did the
Ohio State game. It was a game at halftime, but
we were like, can we really hang with these guys
for four quarters? And I think maybe they get up
double digits and the Huskies get a back door touchdown
(22:42):
and make it twenty seven to twenty.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
What year was the Jacobson game that he played against Oregon?
Was it twenty nineteen?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
What year was that?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah, thirty five, thirty one Jacob Eason twenty nineteen. Washington
was leading twenty one to fourteen at halftime against They
were actually up twenty eight to fourteen. They came out
and scored to start the second quarter, and then Oregon
came back and won the game thirty five to thirty one.
They were up fourteen points in the third, They were
(23:13):
up fourteen points with five minutes to go in the
third quarter, and they lost the game. I don't want
to see that happen against Saturday. I mean, I almost
would rather just have Oregon just kind of take command
and just win versus the Huskies thrown away a fourteen
point lead. I mean, one thing that they haven't done
under Jetfish is they haven't really had a lot of
(23:35):
big leads and pissed them away.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We haven't seen that from these guys.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Well, if they're gonna lose, they might as well lose
by two touchdowns.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
So Jet is less attractive to Flo.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Yeah, because if I'm gonna lose anyway to Oregon, I'd
rather have Jet and that team back next year so
I can make the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
I just think this guys, I gotta think that Demon
Williams and Jonah Coleman are better players than what we've
seen can consistently this year.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I think Jonah Coleman's certainly better. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Dick and I were talking off the year about it
that I don't know what's going on there. I mean,
he just has not been the guy that we thought
he was going to be, yeah, for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And it's not all about him.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
I mean Dick mentioned that John Mills was out, Carver
Willis was out, and my response to that is, Okay,
that's fine. But the offensive line, even without those guys,
is still supposed to be better than it was a
year ago.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Because last year.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
They were a train wreck, absolute bottom feeding offensive line
in college football that gave up ten sacks in the
final game of the year.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
So even if you take out Willis and you put
in McCree or for solo, and you move Mills and
you put Pockey at left guard, they're still better than
what they were a year ago.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
But he has looked sluggish, and.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
He looks bad. The offensive line or the running game
can't get any rhythm.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's just crazy.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
The guy's gone what we say, eleven straight Big ten
games without a hundred yard day.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That is crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Remember how explosive he looked last year? Remember him jumping
over safeties?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yes, last year?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Like, is it possible that he's just been banged up
all season long? Remember the way Demon Williams looked in
the Louisville game. Where's that guy been all year long?
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I mean we saw it a little bit against Rutgers
and against Illinois, but Rutgers is terrible, right, And maybe
that was kind of a little bit of fool's gold
in that Sun Bowl because Louisville had a bunch of
guys that weren't playing on defense. What I saw in
DeMont Williams in that game against Louisville was a guy
that was just putting the ball into small, tight windows,
no matter who was covering who, it didn't matter. His
(25:37):
accuracy was unbelievable in that game. Right, The game that
Giles Jackson had that day was insane. So if you
would have told me after that Louisville game, remember all
the excitement for him going into the offseason. They lost
the game, they went for two. We said, look, just
don't worry about overtime. Get out of here. Let's not
get anybody hurt. You've accomplished what you want to accomplish,
(26:01):
and that is that you found a star at quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There's some hype over the offseason.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
If you would have told me that Demond Williams was
gonna have the year that he was going to have
after that sun Ball was over, I think I would
have been a little bit bummed out by that.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
We've seen the flashes though, I mean, we've seen the Illinois,
we've seen the Rutgers, just we just haven't had the consistency.
And it's been particularly on the road. He's been consistent
at home other than the Ohio State game, right, I mean,
he's pretty much been the demand. We thought he was
going to be in just about all the home games, right, yes,
So the question is, all right, is he going to
(26:36):
be that way Saturday because they're at home? Or is
the Oregon defense a reasonable facsimile to Ohio State that's
gonna hold him down?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Well, I'm looking at his game log in home Ohio
State eighteen to twenty two, bucks seventy three. He was
sacked a bunch in that game. Rutgers he was great.
Illinois he was great. Purdue is terrible, but he was great.
We are still waiting, aren't we waiting for Demand Williams
to do it against somebody decent.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
We're waiting for this team to do it something the
team this year.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
But that's not going to happen unless number two leads
the way.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That's right, right?
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I mean, how can how can they beat Oregon Saturday
without Demand Williams having a big game.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Super We are still waiting for the Demand Williams slash
Jedfish signature win.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
And it's been two years, so Saturday is a perfect operation.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
What is their big win? Rights Michigan.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
It's Michigan last Michigan last year. Probably Illinois was ranked
this year?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Were they six and five last year.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yes, but at the time we had the time, the
jet But yeah, that's why I'm saying, because they were
six and five at the end of the year, that
can't really be seen as a signature win.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
It's not at all at the moment.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I mean, it could be seen as your best, but
it's nothing to write.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
Home about this Illinois team.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
They were eight and five last year, by the way
Michigan was, So there are seven and five regular season correct.
This Illinois team that I watched, I think is better
than that mission Tea.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Remember that Michigan team had no quarterback.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
But I mean, what was the dude's name, orgasm Orgy, right, Orgy?
I mean Tuttle Jack, Tuttle and Alex Orgy. I mean, guys,
they don't have one. They just don't have one.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Right, Like, if we're gonna sit here as a member
of the Purple and Gold Club and talk about Michigan
and talk about Illinois, nobody outside of Seattle, and really
even in Seattle cares about those wins Michigan, maybe more
so because it's still Michigan and there's a little bit
of name recognid it doesn't mean anything to anybody across
(28:37):
the country. The bottom line is this, if we're being
totally honest, they've done nothing in two years that resonates
with anybody, and that would change this weekend. If they
beat Oregon, that would change this weekend. That would be
I mean to be by far his biggest win. We're
gonna break a little fun with Audio and then Lane Lambert,
coach of the Crack, and we'll join us right before
pregame around six to ten tonight, coming up on ninety
(28:59):
three three KJR. It's now time for Someday in Dick's
One with Audio, Jimmy GA.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Star, Jimmy mister Garoppolo. Now let's have some fun with that.
Let's get to it.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Leanne Lambert, Cracking Coach, will join us next segment right
before Mikey b takes over the pregame show with the
Cracking and starts tonight. How about a little fun with
Audio on this Wednesday Thanksgiving Eve?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that? What's that?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Joe Burrow coming back from injury for the Bengals this week.
He spoke to a press corps yesterday reminisced on watching
football as a kid on Thanksgivings.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
I think just like a lot of kids.
Speaker 11 (29:35):
You you grow up going through Thanksgiving, you have your
meals with your family, and then you're going still on
the couch and typically there's not a lot on except football.
Back in the day it was Lions and somebody. You
go watch Matthew Stafford throw for three some yards with
Calvin Johnson and probably lose the game, but it was
(29:58):
fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Wow, how old is Joe Burrow?
Speaker 9 (30:03):
By the way, I was just gonna look at that.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Old?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
How old's Matt Stafford? Mattery Stafford played nine seventeen years ago. Yeah,
Joe Burrow was eleven, Matthew Stafford's rookie year.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Watching him play football for the Lions.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Man probably losing, walks up and says, hey, old man,
you're still around. Holy cow, and he's killing it. By
the way, Matt Stafford is, well, I don't know, man.
I I love watching football on Thanksgiving Day. I also
love watching a Christmas story as soon as it comes
out on TBS, right because they'll show it like a
thousand times, don't They show it on Christmas Day over
(30:35):
and over.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
And over and over and over and over.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
And guys watching let's Let's be real here, guys.
Speaker 10 (30:39):
There's only one movie to watch on Thanksgiving, Wane's Training Off. Yes,
it's really the only Thanksgiving Lee movie to watch on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's a good question. Is there another Thanksgiving movie besides pta?
Speaker 8 (30:51):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Let me think about that one.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Let's go when you can think of so therefore it's the.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Only There might be one more. They just give me
a second, give me a chance. All right, Hey, Dick
is me? Did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 9 (31:02):
What's that did?
Speaker 5 (31:03):
During Steelers coach Mike Tomlins press conference yesterday, reporter Chris
Carter of Lockdown Steelers asked a detailed question about the
team's Cover three defense.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
This situation note the twenty five yards more touchdown we
ran up the scene against you, guys, it was trips
right for verticals? Is that a situation where you have
to check out of the cover three Zoners deal?
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Yeah, I'm not going to peel back the layers of
how we function from a schematic standpoint, although I am
impressed by the depth of your question.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
It's such a pet peeve of mine, dude, when these
reporters just go into a room and they try to
impress the head coach with their hardcore football knowledge. We've
got a couple of those. Well how about this. Just
shut up and ask the question. Okay, there's no need
to editorialize. Okay, you're not going to impress the coach.
You're not going to educate the coach. You're not going
(31:50):
to educate anybody. What are you trying to ask? What
is the answer you're looking for? Ask the question?
Speaker 10 (31:57):
To be fair, Tomlin said he is impressed, and then
but then the reporter comes up with thank you.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic, by the way,
Tommy Schurtz, Look how much I know about football?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Guys?
Speaker 9 (32:09):
That's what That's the point of that question.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
It's so unbelievable when people try and do that. I
gotta be honest with you. The kid that asked the
question to Lincoln Riley the other day about the sign
in Eugene, I thought that was funny.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
As less of a problem with that today this one.
The more I'm thinking about it, the more I think
it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
All right, hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 9 (32:27):
What's that?
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Three or four?
Speaker 8 (32:29):
Jackson?
Speaker 5 (32:29):
We're talking both both During the Panthers Niners game on Monday,
Carolina safety Trevon Moragg punched Niner wide receiver Juwan Jennings
in the family Jewels. After the game, Jennings hunted down
Morag and started a fight. Then, at a press conference
later on, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan was proud of his
receiver for not retaliating immediately.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
The guy took a cheap shot and hit him in
the balls, and he's really proud of Joan for not
losing his mind out there and get him to the sideline.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
So I didn't see what happened.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Did he actually like chase him down and getting his
face after the game is on?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
You see the shot of the joke? I did not
know it?
Speaker 9 (33:06):
Full on fist upper cut.
Speaker 10 (33:09):
Wow, I'm just I mean, the most blatant punch of
the balls you've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Jesus, Yeah, I'd love to see it. I'm all for what. No,
don't do it to me. That's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Thought he was going to show me the video when
he said, do you want me to show it to you?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Did you think like me show you is going to
bring the video on YouTube? Video? Punched me in the balls.
That's wrong with you?
Speaker 10 (33:34):
A married man jawan like literally right after the final
whistle just sprints across the field at the guy.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Is there anything more douchey than an athlete punching another
athlete right in the nuts like on purpose?
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I don't know, man, I think this might be worse.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
I mean sucker punch, like you know, tap on the
shoulder and then just bash you when you're not looking
at me, like peekaboo.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
What is more?
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Do she's spitting on a guy or punching a guy
in the balls?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
One four nine four five one.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
I agree with you, because at least when you spit
on somebody, you can say, hey, man, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I wasn't spitting at you. I just missed see.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
I guess it's pretty obvious I.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
Put it in this context.
Speaker 10 (34:17):
I've punched a friend in the balls, but I will
never spit on somebody.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I will never do. Why Why did you punch your friends?
Speaker 9 (34:24):
So we were it was a junior high and it
was just a part of a whole thing.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
You make funny for being Harry Beard when you were thirteen?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
I cannot believe that's five weeks worth of the growth
man cram. You know what you might be like, there
might be like a contest that you could win or something.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
You just shave now so we can watch it for
the next five weeks until first.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
Loves it like this, So if I shaved, she'd actually
be actually angry at me.
Speaker 9 (34:53):
Kind of like you shear a sheep and it just
kind of looks ugly.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
It kind of I have such a baby face if
I don't have facial hair, looking young like the dog
from Austin Powers.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Is that what you look like?
Speaker 5 (35:04):
The skinny little is Yeah, let's see one more real quick,
one more? Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
So bad?
Speaker 8 (35:10):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 5 (35:11):
During the college football playoff rankings unveiling on ESPN last night,
committee chair Hunter You're a Check tried to make a
funny by referencing the viral six to seven gen Z
internet joke.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
But there was a change at six seven with Oregon
and Old Miss swapping spots.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
How much of it impact?
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Potentially could it be on Old Miss if it's determined
they don't have their head coach in the field.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
Six seven?
Speaker 12 (35:39):
But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion about Old
Miss and their coach, that that that was.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
All about Oregon and their performance against USC.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
All right, so I understand it. I just still don't
get it. I just don't get the whole six to
seven thing. This is something that kids are saying now
that means nothing? Is that what I'm talking about here?
Kind of whatever?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
So where did this come from? Some rap song or something?
Speaker 8 (36:03):
I don't know what?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Am I missing?
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Dixon Aubrey? You must you must have? I mean, I know,
I mean all I know. It just kind of means like, okay, whatever.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
According to goodle Ai, the term comes from the song
dut Dute by Philadelphia rappers Scrilla, released in late twenty
twenty four. The lyrics mentioned six' seven during the beat,
drop which some speculate could refer to sixty Seventh street
or a police, code though the artist has said the
meeting is.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
FLUID i don't understand, This, yeah need.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
DO i the fact that sixty, goobers a sixty year
old college football playoff committee, chair things he can make
a funny by making the six to seven.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
Joke he definitely has a middle school grand.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Kid, yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Totally somebody told him to say that there's no way
he came up with that by, himself. Right can somebody
put this in fifty two year old married white guy?
Terms what does this? Mean four nine four five? One
please help me? Out next on ninety three THREE kjra.
Event Blayne lambert cracking head coach normally will join us
On wednesdays at three forty, five but we got him
(37:11):
here right before face off tonight Against. Dallas pregame show
starts at six point thirty and the head coach is
joining us right now on the radio show live from
CP A.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Lane, coach how are, you? Man what's going?
Speaker 4 (37:24):
On?
Speaker 8 (37:25):
Good good? Guys how are you? Guys we're.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
GOOD i appreciate.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
This let's talk about that little roadie you had man
two to one and. One by the, WAY i just
want you to know the team has been playing lights
out since you took over this radio show with me And,
dick AND i want to.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Know we both want to know if this thing goes. Nuclear,
man if you guys.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Just start to skyrocket and just start dominating THE, nhl
how much credit are you gonna give me And?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Dick BECAUSE i think we'll deserve.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
It, well it was the pep, talk you, guys gave me,
right like you know it. Was you, came you came
down to the, office and first of, all you gave
me a little what's what and what's for and who's?
Who and then and then you tried to build. Me,
yeah then you tried to build me back. Up and
and So I'm I'm i'm Doing i'm doing my best
(38:14):
to take your advice and we'll go from.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
There if us a good coaches do, right we just
tear you down to the stunts and then we built
you back. Up Lane lambert joining us, said, coach you,
know this is a very similar roster to last. Year
AND i was taking a look at where The kraken
were after twenty two games last, year and.
Speaker 9 (38:32):
They had eleven.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Wins now you have eleven wins after twenty two games this.
Year but the huge difference is they had ten. Losses
you only have five. Losses you've been able to turn
regulation losses into overtime.
Speaker 9 (38:46):
Games how have you been able to get to that?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Point is there a method to the madness of just
making sure you can get that extra goal to at
least get a?
Speaker 8 (38:53):
Point, well you, KNOW i think it's no secret That
i've stressed you, know for our team that you, know
our identity is going to, be you, know giving our
goalie the best environment possible to play, in and which,
means you, know we just have to be sound. Defensively
if you look at The National Hockey league and you,
(39:14):
know and certainly early, on there may be some games
where you get you, know seven threes and you know
there was an eight four game the other night or.
Whatever but you know a lot of times if you
if you can get to three in THE, nhl you're
gonna win a lot of hockey games because it's so,
tight and even more so this year with the parody
(39:34):
in the, league which you know has been talked about
quite a, bit you, know SO i just, think you,
know if you look at the if you look at
the record last, year and you look at the record this,
year and whatever you want to say about each one of,
them we just you, know we are playing better, defensively
and at the end of the, day that's that's a
(39:54):
bit of a formula for, success and we're doing. It you,
know we HAVE i think last year they had probably
four or five more veterans on their, team and we
brought in some young guys here and those guys are
are you, know they're contributing and they're developing and they're
learning on the fly here right now as. Well so
what appears to be maybe a similar roster of last
year isn't quite the same. Roster and you, know we're
(40:18):
our guys are doing a good job of taking ownership
of how we want to play.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
Well Lei lambert with us cracking head coach normally would
join us On wednesdays at three forty, five But lane
decided he wanted to talk to us minutes before face
off tonight Against. Dallas so we appreciate that. Coach not
a lot of coaches in THE nhl would do, that
so thank. You but we're all waiting to see what's
going on With jared, McCahon.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
RIGHT i, mean you've talked about.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
It we've talked about it that hey, man this is
your points leader from last year that has not been
available for well over a. Month what's the plan if
there is one for him?
Speaker 8 (40:49):
Tonight well it's you, know you said. It you preempted
that by saying that's our points leader from last, year
and so we're real excited you know that he's. Back
he was he was in practice yesterday full. Practice you,
know we are monitoring. Him he's you, know he's still
(41:10):
ON ir and whether or not he comes OFF ir
is a game time decision. Here but we desperately need you,
know his offensive, output and we're looking forward to getting them.
Back LIKE i, say he's getting real. Close, Coach it's.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Unbelievable eighteen teams in this league within three points of each.
Other do you did you anticipate this log jam of
teams all? Year and why is there so much parody
in twenty twenty, five twenty?
Speaker 8 (41:35):
Six you know, WHAT i don't. KNOW i, mean you
always have. Parody you always have a bit of a log.
Jam but at the same, time you, know there's there's you,
know two or three teams that are maybe in each,
conference so a total of five or six or seven
that are kind of out of. It AND i wouldn't
say right, now but like falling behind right. Now we're
(41:56):
not really seeing that this. Year AND i think one
of the reasons, is you, know the teams that haven't
been very good for you, know four or five. Years
if you want to talk, about, say you, know You're Anaheim,
ducks let's just use them for an. Example you, know
they've they've had high draft picks and and now those
draft picks are getting opportunities to uh to. Develop, uh you,
(42:20):
know they're in their third and fourth seasons in The
National Hockey. League this is a this is not an
easy league to play. In it's the best league in the,
world and so for a young guy coming into this,
league it takes a little bit of. Time and, uh
you know some of these, teams The utahs and things like,
that these teams are you, know they're seeing the the
young guys in their third and fourth years now and
(42:41):
they're having some some. Successes, so, uh it's really it's really.
Interesting and you're you're not. WRONG i, mean you have
a good week and you you just stay in, pace
and if you have a bad, week you fall out of.
Pace so you have to be real careful and every
game is so.
Speaker 5 (42:57):
Important, coach we got a little bit of a economy
between the way you guys score in the first versus
the way you score in the. Third, RIGHT i, MEAN
i look, LIKE i, mean the stats don't lie that
you guys are.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
One of the better teams in the league in the third.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
Period BUT i think If i'm not, mistaken you'd still
be looking for maybe a little bit of a faster,
start AND i GET i guess my question, is really,
twofold would you rather have that reversed where maybe you
come out, hot but you're fighting for your life in
the third or would you rather have it this way
if you had to choose one or the. Other obviously
you want to play great in both, periods but how
(43:32):
much on top of that do you think Coaching jared
mccannon coming, back all of that will potentially fix.
Speaker 8 (43:39):
That, well you're you're, right, like it's it's it's not
something you want you want to pick and. Choose you,
know you'd like to be good in both. Periods we feel,
like of, course you, know we feel like there's been
some games where we started a little. Slow you, know
the good news, is And i'll say it this away
(44:00):
from a positive, standpoint you, know our players have we've
we've had some comeback wins this, year and, uh you,
know we've showed a lot of resilience and a lot
of heart and determination in the third, period and you,
know we we just like that's the that's a little
bit of the challenge here for our hockey team is
(44:23):
AND i can't even, say play sixty minutes with our,
team we we have to count on playing sixty. Five
we've we lead the league in THE naa we in overtime,
games so you, know we're we're in every. Game we
just we'd like to see us start a little a little,
better at least the goal differential or our goal scoring
start a little. Better and, uh in the first, period.
Speaker 9 (44:42):
What's the reason for all the overtime?
Speaker 4 (44:44):
Games when you have three more overtime games this, year
you'll already match all of last.
Speaker 9 (44:48):
Season so what's the reason for the?
Speaker 4 (44:50):
Preponderance and and do you like three on three hockey
or would you prefer it's old?
Speaker 1 (44:54):
SCHOOL i, mean the.
Speaker 8 (44:57):
Three on three hockey is extremely, exciting, Right and you,
know as a, league it doesn't matter who you, are
and certainly you, know we we care about our fans a, lot,
obviously and so you, know those three on threes are super. Exciting.
Uh you, KNOW i like the way we do it
in playoffs where it's you, know just sudden death and
(45:20):
it goes to the end and it's five on five.
Hockey but you, KNOW i have a lot of time
for three on three in the regular, season for. Sure
but you, know we're we're in every, game and you,
know LIKE I i've always, said and our guys have
really embraced the fact that we're hard to play. Against
and so when you, are you, know the games are,
(45:42):
tight and you know it's just at times it just
ends up being that. Way and you, Know i'm sure
we'll play in a lot more overtime games this. Year,
potentially certainly we'd like to finish it off before the
end of. Regulation but at the end of the, day,
uh you, know points are crucial and you got to
find a way to get them and collect them every.
(46:02):
Night all.
Speaker 5 (46:03):
Right the most important question before tonight's, game what percentage
of your roster would you say Is?
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Canadian off the top of your. Head by the, way
just take a guess.
Speaker 8 (46:12):
What percentage of the percentage.
Speaker 5 (46:15):
Sixty, percent seventy, Percent what percentage ballpark do you think Is?
Speaker 8 (46:19):
Canadian i'd probably say, sixty probably sixty.
Speaker 5 (46:26):
Sixty so for all the turkeys From canada and your locker,
room is tomorrow just another day for you? GUYS i

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Home for college football Saturdays is live with CBS Sports
analyst Rick Neuheisel, powered by Taco Time. Hungry at Taco Time,
It's easy to create exactly what you're craving, and we
wouldn't have it any other way. How do you Taco
Time customize your mealing order ahead on the Taco Time
Northwest Taco Time Time for something different? Now with Rick Neuheisel,
(00:45):
Here's Softian Dick, I Bons and girls.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Here we go in a busy Wednesday night. Normally this man.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Would join us at three twenty on Thursdays. But tomorrow's Thanksgiving,
and I don't think Rick Neuheisel, I know he likes us,
but I don't think he wants to spend third Thanksgiving
with us. We're giving Kevin Harlan the day off, Rick
full disclosure. So you are you're taking Harlan spot here
on the radio program.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I am thrilled to be with you boys today and tomorrow.
I would have been fine with you as well, except
I'll be in the air. I'm in Arizona. I'm going
to celebrate Thanksgiving to day with my crew, and then
I got to fly back because we got a double
header on Friday, and then we bring the Oregon Ducks
at the Washington Huskies on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Be interested in.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
That little game, just a little bit happening over there
at that little venerable spot called Husky Stadium.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeap, just a little bit. Well, let me let me
first of all, because I don't want to get in
trouble here. Let me just start the radio show properly.
Another win for you prop UNLV getting it done against Hawaii.
You've crawled back to seven and seven on the air,
So we're looking to get to above five hundred today
whether you're talking time pick of the week, But why
don't we first of all start off by I don't
(01:59):
know how much you saw the game last week.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It was a late game on the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Obviously, seven thirty in La, but man, Ucla just looked
terrible against you. Dub Jedfish up thirty four to seven
early fourth quarter, is going for it on fourth and
one with Joanah Coleman and a gigantic knee brace.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Just to get the guy that touchdown.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
It's like the words shut her down do not exist
and Jedfish's vocabulary.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Rick at all.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Yeah, listen, not only that it was did I watch it?
Speaker 7 (02:30):
I stayed up for every excruciating.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Moment of it because if my son had to go
through it, I said, I'm going through it too. Yeah,
it was a terrible night for the Bruins, and we
could get into that story, but it's not necessary. It
was in the great night for Washington. They won at
the Rose Bowl and who knows if they'll be there
again anytime soon. So that was a cool thing. Jed
obviously spent some time there, so there was some nostalgia
(02:54):
for him, and look, he's trying to win games, no
grudge held understood. At the end of the day, It'll
be interesting to see now where Jed is. He's got
this huge opportunity to get a win over a college
football playoff bound Ducks, and maybe he could knock them out.
(03:14):
That would be exciting for Washington fans. And he could
also get himself in position to get a tenth win,
which I think would be a monumental step in the
right direction as they head down the path to the future.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Well, m coach, the questions are twofold going into that
game on Saturday. One is how much trouble is Oregon
in going to Husky Stadium? And the second part would
be if Washington does beat Oregon, how much trouble is
Oregon in getting into the CFP.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
I think they're out.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
I think they have to win.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
I think there's too many ten and two teams lurking.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Vanderbilt.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Vanderbilt beats Tennessee in Niland Stadium. That's a team that
probably could get there. You've got Texas. I know they
are a three loss team, but Texas with a big, big,
monumental win over Texas A and M might get the
judge's nod. You've got Miami sitting there outside looking in.
(04:14):
That solves a problem for the committee because they don't
want to put them ahead of Notre Dame even though
they beat them. That's a team that could jump in.
It's not any place you want to be. If you're Oregon,
there's a chance they could survive it, but I wouldn't
test the water.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, well, what is the elixir to beating this duck
football team? I mean, obviously Indiana did it, but that's Indiana,
right Not a lot of people are Indiana right now,
which is still crazy to say in twenty twenty five
that the measuring stick is the freaking Indiana Hoosiers.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But here we are. What's the elixir?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
What's the magic potion you think for taking these guys
down Saturday?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Shutting down the running game? Yeah, they do not have
a huge wide receiver room right now, and I don't
know that to Corey and Moore or Gary what's the
kid's name, Gary Blanket on his Brian talking about Gary Bryan, Yeah,
Gary Brian, if he's available, I don't know. They were
(05:16):
not available last week. And I'm sure they're trying to
get him healthy, but I don't know that they'll be ready.
And because of that lack of depth there, it's the
ability to slow these guys down. They have four guys
that average over five yards to carry. It's an incredible
running game and if you don't stop it, it's gonna
bludgeon you and then create all sorts of play action
(05:37):
opportunities for a couple of big tight ends and the
guys who are left in the wide receiver room. And
that's where you just don't want to find yourself if
you can stop the running game, which is listen Indiana
in the second half, other than the last drive where
they were two scores down and made some yards, was
held the forty one yards total offense in the second half.
(05:58):
Held the Ducks to forty one yards total offense in
the second half.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
Rick, I think this is a defensive battle.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I mean, I think the two maybe the two best
units on the field might be the Husky defense and
the Oregon defense.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
Maybe speak to the Husky defense because I think it's.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Even so underrated all season long, when all the talk
preseason was demand Denzel Jonah scoring points, it's really been
the defense that has been by far the most consistent
side of the ball for Washington.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, Ryan Walters deserves a big pat on the back.
That's been a great job that he's done defensively. He's
had answers against the zone reads stuff. Last week he
went to basically a modified cover zero where the safety
came down to take the quarterback and make plays even
in the backfield. He's done really well. The question is
(06:47):
can he do it against the speed that exists At Oregon,
UCLA had no speed advantage. That won't be the case
with this high flying duct team.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well, Rick new heisl's with us.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
And one guy that I'd like to have out there
is Jacob Man who he's the transfer from Arizona.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know, blew his acl out.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I think it was a year ago and just came
back a little bit in the last couple of weeks,
a couple of months or so, and he had four
games to play before his red shirt got burned. He's
suing and he wants his five for five and he
hasn't heard yet from anybody on whether or not he's
getting that. So right now, Jedfish and Jacob have no
choice but to play by the NCAA's rules. And Jedfish
(07:26):
played him on Saturday at the Rose Bowl and that's it.
A lot of us thought maybe he'd wait until the
Organ game, but Jed said that Jacob came to him
early in the year and said, I'm from La Servite, Anaheim.
I'd like to play at the Rose Bowl. In front
of family and friends, and Jed said, Okay, so a
lot of Husky fans are wondering, is that something you
would have agreed to do or would you have told
(07:48):
Jacob looks and I'd love to take care of you,
but I got to have you against the ducks man.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
There would have been some horse trade, and I'm sure, yeah,
trying to figure out a way to make it a
win win situation. But I certainly understand, you know, the
dream of playing in the Rose Bowl and having that
opportunity in front of friends and family, and I certainly
understand Jed making the promise. So if the kid that's
what the kid wanted to do, then I get following
(08:14):
through on that. And we've just got to find somebody
next man up principal in football.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
But this four we got to go to five for five.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
There's too many people getting extra eligibility. There's too many
people that are won in the courtroom for these other
kids not to be given the same treatment. And I
hate that if you just get the wrong judge, you
don't get to play, because it doesn't seem fair at all.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I'm seeing beautiful weather for ann Arbor, Michigan on Saturday,
Rick fifteen mile an hour wins periods of snow, sleet,
freezing rain, and two to four inches of snowfall for
Michigan or for Michigan and Ohio State. Does that even
the playing field a little bit? Or does that give
all the favorites even more an advantage?
Speaker 6 (09:01):
You know what was interesting to me is I said
prior to the game this week that Ohio State played
right into Michigan's hands last year by trying to play bulleyball,
you know, taking the bait that, hey, this is a slugfest.
You guys aren't tough enough to handle the trenches. So
they basically limited their their their high flying receivers and
just played you know, nine on seven and kind of
(09:24):
gave their advantage away. If you're telling me that's the weather,
that advantage might be taken away anyway. So this is
exactly what Michigan's pulling for, and it's going to be
a yeoman effort by a kind of a beat up
Buckeye team to get this done.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, well, Rick new Heiseel's with us, and Rick I
got to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
We got an email the other.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Day from Bovada, who's got Jedfish is the new favorite
to land the Florida job. I guess there's an assumption
that Kiffin goes to LSU right potentially ditch that gig.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
That's definitely out there. Yeah, definitely out there. I got
a source that said that's a confirmation.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Okay, So if that happens and the Florida job then
remains vacant, is beating Oregon enough for the Florida High
Power to lums to turn an eye to the Pacific
Northwest and really consider Jedfish at the top of their.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
List, You know, I think, and I don't know where
Steve Spurrier's been on Jet because I don't know that
he threw Jet's name out there, but I know he
threw Eli Drinkwitz's name out there Missouri as a guy that, yeah,
that he would really like to see involved in this deal.
So I think that Eli is the favorite. So hopefully
(10:37):
Husky fans can rest easy that Jedfish will be back
and happily back wanting to be the head coach of
the Huskies.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Lane's got much more hype than Jed does, much more
name familiarity nationally. Is he a better coach than Jedfish.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Oh, I don't know. I think they're both tactical coaches.
Both like to call of plays. Both are you know,
guys that enjoy pouring over film and looking for new
ways to do things. I think Jed has probably more
experience a different offenses and things of that nature, having
(11:15):
been so many different places and so many systems. But
I think both are interesting guys and make for great
college football coaches. Yeah, I would always I always thought
that Jed would want eventually to get to the NFL.
I never felt that way about Lane, even though that's
where his career started.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
We'll wait and see.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Rick new isislah with us.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I don't know if you saw this news about the Heisman,
but they're limiting the window to forty eight hours for
voting from Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I believed a Monday afternoon.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
So nobody's sitting around for three days waiting to decide
who they're going to vote for for the Heisman. And
I don't know, I just wonder if it's for Anando
Mendoza's right now. Can we just give Fernando Mendoza the
Heisman Trophy today and be on with it, or is
there actually something to play for this weekend in your mind.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
I'm telling you, don't count out that little kid, Diego
Papa at Vanderbilt. I think Diego, if he has another
monster game against those boys at Knoxville, I think he's
going to be right in the mix of it. And
I wouldn't be surprised to see a guy like Trinidad
Chandliss to climb the ranks, or Ty Simpson with some
(12:25):
heroics in the Iron Bowl, or any of these guys.
What's been fascinating about this year is the incredible amount
of wind change in terms of who has been the favorite.
Dante More was a favorite for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
So it's been crazy.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
I think it's going to be one of the great
Heisman presentations recent memory, because I don't.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Think any of us is going to know Rick.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
A few minutes ago, you brought up Texas if they
can pull off the upset. You think a three lost
Texas team could sneak into the back door of the
college football playoffs? Do they pull that upset off? Albe
at minor one? I think they're two and a half
point dogs home.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
I think they actually win the game. I think they're
a better team at home. I still think to Texas
amm is a little bit of fools gold. I think
Marcel reads fantastic, but I think the Texas defense, especially
in this kind of environment, is going to play inspired football.
And I'm going to say Texas pulls an upset.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, how about what's happening down at USC.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I just saw where Lincoln Riley said he's not going anywhere,
much to the chagrin of a lot of USC fans.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
By the way, it's like, damn it, man.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
In the if you saw what happened over the weekend,
there was a young reporter that asked Lincoln Riley about
the Oregon fans holding up a sign that they wanted
to extend Lincoln, as if to say, you know, we'd
like you to stay forever because we like beating you
every single year.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Lincoln kind of popped off on him a little bit.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
There was some embarrassing moments from the athletics staff as
well down there in Eugene, Oregon. I mean, this seems
like a friggin mess man in LA. Can they bring
Lincoln back? Can they afford to bring him back again?
Or resist a year where they got to finally swallow
it and buy him out.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
They can't buy him out. It's ninety million. It's ninety million.
Think that through. They can't do it. They're stuck with
the their Lincoln. Whether they wanted a new Chevy or
a Dodge, they got a Lincoln, and they're gonna have
to see if that can get better. I think there
was improvement this year. I've been around Lincoln Raley. He's
(14:27):
a nice enough guy. There's nothing really wrong with Lincoln.
I don't know that he's a detailed guy from a
head coaching standpoint. I think he's a detailed guy when
it comes to offense, and I think some of the
stuff it gets away, which makes for a little bit
of a divided Trojan alumni base, which is always a problem.
(14:47):
That's what ended up getting Clay Helton, That's what ended
up getting a lot of the Trojan coaches.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
In the past.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
They when they get divided, it's just a matter of time.
But they cannot afford to get it rid of him.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Now.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
They were hopeful that.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Maybe some of these big suitors in the SEC would
have wanted them. A little Lincoln Riley and a win
at Oregon would have created a market.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Rick I read an article in the Athletic today, and
the writer was complaining that Miami could miss the playoffs
and the ACC title game despite being the highest ranked
team in their power for conference.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
Is that a legit complaint.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Yeah, it's a legit complaint. But it's how crazy because
of the size of these conference schedules, how crazy the
conference rosters are, how crazy the schedules are, and how
disparate they are. You're not always going to play the
same schedule, and because of it, we're going to have
really good teams that sit outside watching Georgia. Think this through, guys.
(15:45):
If A and M wins and Alabama wins, they will
play in the SEC Championship game. George is the number
four team in the College Football Playoff Bowl. They won't
have to play in the SEC Championship Game. They won't
have to play in the first round. They get a
free pass, which means complete rehabilitation time to get ready
(16:05):
for a January first ball. I mean, that is an incredible,
incredible opportunity. And I'll promise you if the Ducks get
the Dogs, they do not in any way, shape or
form want to see Michigan win that game, because that
would mean they have to play next week. And they
want those their receivers to get healthy and so forth.
They don't want to go play again. We're going to
(16:27):
I think we're precariously close to the end of conference
championship games.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, they're worthless. I mean, for lack of a better term,
they're worthless. I mean they make money on TV. I guess,
they make money at the gate, I guess. But most
teams would rather not play them, don't you think.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Remember Carson Beck got hurt in the Georgia SEC championship
game last year. So this is this is we're getting close.
And the fact that they just extended the deadline to
determine what the CFP will look like next year. It
was going to be December one, they moved it to
January twenty third. I think we may go past sixteen
and go all the way to twenty four. Do not
be shocked if we go to twenty four teams.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Well, I gotta tell you, man, I like Georgia to
win the whole thing. If I'm taking a slight underdog,
I think they have the best resume in college football.
I know why they're ranked fourth because they have a loss,
but they've got three wins over top nineteen teams. Nobody
else in college football can even come close to saying that.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Rick and in their DNA, they know how to win
a close game. Kirby Smart likes to call it, we're
hard to kill and they'd only have to win three games.
That to me is incredibly fortunate. If you get a
really healthy team and a confident gunner stocked and they
will be hard to kill.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Well, speaking of killing, you've been killing it on the
Taco Time Pick of the week. Man, I'm going to
go with you, Chris beef burrito, the spicy tator fries,
the spicy rams. You are on a heater right now,
six and two in your last eight games on the
air to climb back from.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
The dead, from the dead to get to seven and seven.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Who do you like?
Speaker 6 (18:02):
We're going? You know what those who follow these trends
called the Hawaii game.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
The get right game.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Right that's the last game on the schedule. Yeah, you've
had a rough Saturday. You go to find out what
the line is in Hawaii. All I can tell you
is Timmy Chang's Rainbow Warriors have had a great year.
They have seven wins. Wyoming's come into town. They lost
last week to UNLB. I know because of the way
(18:30):
this team is played, they're going to play great at home.
The Cowboys can't go anywhere. Give me Wyoming, excuse me, Hawaii.
I'll lay the ten and a half. They're going to
win by two touchdowns or more. This is Hawaii and
we're going to get ourselves to the right side of
the law.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I actually got an early Christmas gift for you, pal.
It's down to eight and a half. How about that?
Even better value?
Speaker 8 (18:55):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (18:56):
I love I love value.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Hawaii concerns me?
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Why it is? Who cares if somebody knows something that
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Yeah, as long as that little as long as that
little freshman quarterbacks playing, I'm happy.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Absolutely uh Hawaii minus the eight and a half against
Wyoming over the weekend. All right, man, listen, have a
great stuff a Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Enjoy yourself today, enjoy yourself tomorrow, Dogs and Ducks.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You'll be on the studio call for that game. Is
that right Saturday?
Speaker 7 (19:24):
I can I cannot wait, I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I love it. Go get them in. We'll talk soon, Bud.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
All right, Jack, Thanksgiving you as well.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Now.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Rick Mwisel with us on the radio show We're going
to break a lot more to get to, including Lane
Lambert will join us before tonight's Dallas Kracking game around
six ten tonight before faced off at six thirty or
excuse me, seven o'clock pregame at six thirty. Right here
on ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
This is Duke of Duke Seafood and this hour is
brought to you by Duke Seafood. Why don't you make
it a Duke's night tonight. Reserve your table today at
dukeseafood dot com. Now back to Softy and Dick on support.
It's Radio ninety three point three KJR.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Al Right, I know how much Dick likes predictions. I
love predictions.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
We just say we go round the room and put
it on record as to what's going to happen on
Saturday at Husky Stadium at twelve thirty. We're not going
to be here tomorrow and Friday. We've got three football
games right tomorrow starting at ten o'clock. We got the
Bears and Eagles and A and M in Texas on Friday.
So the next time we talk to you after this
show comes to an end will be Saturday morning at
eight thirty from Husky Stadium and then Monday at three o'clock. So,
(20:30):
Oregon number nine scoring defense in the country, Husky's nineteenth.
Oregon number eight scoring offense in the country Husky's nineteenth.
They're very similar when it comes to the overall rankings
of their scoring defense and their scoring offense. One of
the big differences is what Oregon's doing in the run
game versus what you dub is doing in the run game.
Oregon's always good when it comes to running the ball.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
We all know that number eight and rushing Huskies are
fifty seventh running the ball.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Jonah Coleman says he's gonna play. We'll see if he
even wins the knee brace. By the way, in this
game on Saturday, Huskies are getting six and a half.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
What's the total by the way, Oh, it's fifty in
the fifties, fifty one and a half. So Vegas is
looking at a twenty six, twenty four, twenty six, twenty
five type game, whatever, right, something like that on Saturday
at a fifty they're looking at a thirty to twenty
three game.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yeah, potentially something like that, right, If it's the spread
is if they cover correct, right, So what happens?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
What's your prediction, Jackson? For Saturday?
Speaker 10 (21:32):
I'm gonna say Oregon wins twenty seven to twenty one,
so barely cover for you, dub Okay. I do think
that you dub is going to have a chance to
go down the field and win this thing late, but
I think Oregon's defense is just too good.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Twenty seven to twenty one. Ducks, So twenty seven to
twenty one. But the Huskies have the ball and they
can deny yep.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Okay, So are they.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Leading twenty one to twenty and Oregon takes the lead
to go up twenty seven to twenty one?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Or is it? Is it a twenty.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Seven thirteen game where the Husky get a score late
and then happen to get the ball back for one
more shot to win the game.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
I think it's something like twenty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
The Huskies get a field goal or in that fourth
quarter they get the ball back. We think, oh my god,
they could go win this thing by a point, but
Oregon's defense is too good.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
All right, but Huskies cover?
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Okay?
Speaker 9 (22:16):
All right, Dick, I'm almost exactly what Jackson. I scores
twenty seven to twenty.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I think though, that it's gonna be a game at halftime,
like thirteen to ten Oregon. But I think we're gonna
look at it like kind of like we did the
Ohio State game. It was a game at halftime, but
we were like, can we really hang with these guys
for four quarters? And I think maybe they get up
double digits and the Huskies get a back door touchdown
(22:42):
and make it twenty seven to twenty.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
What year was the Jacobson game that he played against Oregon?
Was it twenty nineteen?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
What year was that?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah, thirty five, thirty one Jacob Eason twenty nineteen. Washington
was leading twenty one to fourteen at halftime against They
were actually up twenty eight to fourteen. They came out
and scored to start the second quarter, and then Oregon
came back and won the game thirty five to thirty one.
They were up fourteen points in the third, They were
(23:13):
up fourteen points with five minutes to go in the
third quarter, and they lost the game. I don't want
to see that happen against Saturday. I mean, I almost
would rather just have Oregon just kind of take command
and just win versus the Huskies thrown away a fourteen
point lead. I mean, one thing that they haven't done
under Jetfish is they haven't really had a lot of
(23:35):
big leads and pissed them away.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We haven't seen that from these guys.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Well, if they're gonna lose, they might as well lose
by two touchdowns.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
So Jet is less attractive to Flo.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Yeah, because if I'm gonna lose anyway to Oregon, I'd
rather have Jet and that team back next year so
I can make the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
I just think this guys, I gotta think that Demon
Williams and Jonah Coleman are better players than what we've
seen can consistently this year.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I think Jonah Coleman's certainly better. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Dick and I were talking off the year about it
that I don't know what's going on there. I mean,
he just has not been the guy that we thought
he was going to be, yeah, for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And it's not all about him.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
I mean Dick mentioned that John Mills was out, Carver
Willis was out, and my response to that is, Okay,
that's fine. But the offensive line, even without those guys,
is still supposed to be better than it was a
year ago.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Because last year.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
They were a train wreck, absolute bottom feeding offensive line
in college football that gave up ten sacks in the
final game of the year.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
So even if you take out Willis and you put
in McCree or for solo, and you move Mills and
you put Pockey at left guard, they're still better than
what they were a year ago.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
But he has looked sluggish, and.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
He looks bad. The offensive line or the running game
can't get any rhythm.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's just crazy.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
The guy's gone what we say, eleven straight Big ten
games without a hundred yard day.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That is crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Remember how explosive he looked last year? Remember him jumping
over safeties?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yes, last year?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Like, is it possible that he's just been banged up
all season long? Remember the way Demon Williams looked in
the Louisville game. Where's that guy been all year long?
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I mean we saw it a little bit against Rutgers
and against Illinois, but Rutgers is terrible, right, And maybe
that was kind of a little bit of fool's gold
in that Sun Bowl because Louisville had a bunch of
guys that weren't playing on defense. What I saw in
DeMont Williams in that game against Louisville was a guy
that was just putting the ball into small, tight windows,
no matter who was covering who, it didn't matter. His
(25:37):
accuracy was unbelievable in that game. Right, The game that
Giles Jackson had that day was insane. So if you
would have told me after that Louisville game, remember all
the excitement for him going into the offseason. They lost
the game, they went for two. We said, look, just
don't worry about overtime. Get out of here. Let's not
get anybody hurt. You've accomplished what you want to accomplish,
(26:01):
and that is that you found a star at quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There's some hype over the offseason.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
If you would have told me that Demond Williams was
gonna have the year that he was going to have
after that sun Ball was over, I think I would
have been a little bit bummed out by that.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
We've seen the flashes though, I mean, we've seen the Illinois,
we've seen the Rutgers, just we just haven't had the consistency.
And it's been particularly on the road. He's been consistent
at home other than the Ohio State game, right, I mean,
he's pretty much been the demand. We thought he was
going to be in just about all the home games, right, yes,
So the question is, all right, is he going to
(26:36):
be that way Saturday because they're at home? Or is
the Oregon defense a reasonable facsimile to Ohio State that's
gonna hold him down?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Well, I'm looking at his game log in home Ohio
State eighteen to twenty two, bucks seventy three. He was
sacked a bunch in that game. Rutgers he was great.
Illinois he was great. Purdue is terrible, but he was great.
We are still waiting, aren't we waiting for Demand Williams
to do it against somebody decent.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
We're waiting for this team to do it something the
team this year.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
But that's not going to happen unless number two leads
the way.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That's right, right?
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I mean, how can how can they beat Oregon Saturday
without Demand Williams having a big game.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Super We are still waiting for the Demand Williams slash
Jedfish signature win.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
And it's been two years, so Saturday is a perfect operation.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
What is their big win? Rights Michigan.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
It's Michigan last Michigan last year. Probably Illinois was ranked
this year?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Were they six and five last year.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yes, but at the time we had the time, the
jet But yeah, that's why I'm saying, because they were
six and five at the end of the year, that
can't really be seen as a signature win.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
It's not at all at the moment.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I mean, it could be seen as your best, but
it's nothing to write.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
Home about this Illinois team.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
They were eight and five last year, by the way
Michigan was, So there are seven and five regular season correct.
This Illinois team that I watched, I think is better
than that mission Tea.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Remember that Michigan team had no quarterback.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
But I mean, what was the dude's name, orgasm Orgy, right, Orgy?
I mean Tuttle Jack, Tuttle and Alex Orgy. I mean, guys,
they don't have one. They just don't have one.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Right, Like, if we're gonna sit here as a member
of the Purple and Gold Club and talk about Michigan
and talk about Illinois, nobody outside of Seattle, and really
even in Seattle cares about those wins Michigan, maybe more
so because it's still Michigan and there's a little bit
of name recognid it doesn't mean anything to anybody across
(28:37):
the country. The bottom line is this, if we're being
totally honest, they've done nothing in two years that resonates
with anybody, and that would change this weekend. If they
beat Oregon, that would change this weekend. That would be
I mean to be by far his biggest win. We're
gonna break a little fun with Audio and then Lane Lambert,
coach of the Crack, and we'll join us right before
pregame around six to ten tonight, coming up on ninety
(28:59):
three three KJR. It's now time for Someday in Dick's
One with Audio, Jimmy GA.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Star, Jimmy mister Garoppolo. Now let's have some fun with that.
Let's get to it.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Leanne Lambert, Cracking Coach, will join us next segment right
before Mikey b takes over the pregame show with the
Cracking and starts tonight. How about a little fun with
Audio on this Wednesday Thanksgiving Eve?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that? What's that?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Joe Burrow coming back from injury for the Bengals this week.
He spoke to a press corps yesterday reminisced on watching
football as a kid on Thanksgivings.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
I think just like a lot of kids.
Speaker 11 (29:35):
You you grow up going through Thanksgiving, you have your
meals with your family, and then you're going still on
the couch and typically there's not a lot on except football.
Back in the day it was Lions and somebody. You
go watch Matthew Stafford throw for three some yards with
Calvin Johnson and probably lose the game, but it was
(29:58):
fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Wow, how old is Joe Burrow?
Speaker 9 (30:03):
By the way, I was just gonna look at that.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Old?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
How old's Matt Stafford? Mattery Stafford played nine seventeen years ago. Yeah,
Joe Burrow was eleven, Matthew Stafford's rookie year.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Watching him play football for the Lions.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Man probably losing, walks up and says, hey, old man,
you're still around. Holy cow, and he's killing it. By
the way, Matt Stafford is, well, I don't know, man.
I I love watching football on Thanksgiving Day. I also
love watching a Christmas story as soon as it comes
out on TBS, right because they'll show it like a
thousand times, don't They show it on Christmas Day over
(30:35):
and over.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
And over and over and over and over.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
And guys watching let's Let's be real here, guys.
Speaker 10 (30:39):
There's only one movie to watch on Thanksgiving, Wane's Training Off. Yes,
it's really the only Thanksgiving Lee movie to watch on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's a good question. Is there another Thanksgiving movie besides pta?
Speaker 8 (30:51):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Let me think about that one.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Let's go when you can think of so therefore it's the.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Only There might be one more. They just give me
a second, give me a chance. All right, Hey, Dick
is me? Did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 9 (31:02):
What's that did?
Speaker 5 (31:03):
During Steelers coach Mike Tomlins press conference yesterday, reporter Chris
Carter of Lockdown Steelers asked a detailed question about the
team's Cover three defense.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
This situation note the twenty five yards more touchdown we
ran up the scene against you, guys, it was trips
right for verticals? Is that a situation where you have
to check out of the cover three Zoners deal?
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Yeah, I'm not going to peel back the layers of
how we function from a schematic standpoint, although I am
impressed by the depth of your question.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
It's such a pet peeve of mine, dude, when these
reporters just go into a room and they try to
impress the head coach with their hardcore football knowledge. We've
got a couple of those. Well how about this. Just
shut up and ask the question. Okay, there's no need
to editorialize. Okay, you're not going to impress the coach.
You're not going to educate the coach. You're not going
(31:50):
to educate anybody. What are you trying to ask? What
is the answer you're looking for? Ask the question?
Speaker 10 (31:57):
To be fair, Tomlin said he is impressed, and then
but then the reporter comes up with thank you.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic, by the way,
Tommy Schurtz, Look how much I know about football?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Guys?
Speaker 9 (32:09):
That's what That's the point of that question.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
It's so unbelievable when people try and do that. I
gotta be honest with you. The kid that asked the
question to Lincoln Riley the other day about the sign
in Eugene, I thought that was funny.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
As less of a problem with that today this one.
The more I'm thinking about it, the more I think
it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
All right, hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 9 (32:27):
What's that?
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Three or four?
Speaker 8 (32:29):
Jackson?
Speaker 5 (32:29):
We're talking both both During the Panthers Niners game on Monday,
Carolina safety Trevon Moragg punched Niner wide receiver Juwan Jennings
in the family Jewels. After the game, Jennings hunted down
Morag and started a fight. Then, at a press conference
later on, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan was proud of his
receiver for not retaliating immediately.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
The guy took a cheap shot and hit him in
the balls, and he's really proud of Joan for not
losing his mind out there and get him to the sideline.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
So I didn't see what happened.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Did he actually like chase him down and getting his
face after the game is on?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
You see the shot of the joke? I did not
know it?
Speaker 9 (33:06):
Full on fist upper cut.
Speaker 10 (33:09):
Wow, I'm just I mean, the most blatant punch of
the balls you've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Jesus, Yeah, I'd love to see it. I'm all for what. No,
don't do it to me. That's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Thought he was going to show me the video when
he said, do you want me to show it to you?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Did you think like me show you is going to
bring the video on YouTube? Video? Punched me in the balls.
That's wrong with you?
Speaker 10 (33:34):
A married man jawan like literally right after the final
whistle just sprints across the field at the guy.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Is there anything more douchey than an athlete punching another
athlete right in the nuts like on purpose?
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I don't know, man, I think this might be worse.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
I mean sucker punch, like you know, tap on the
shoulder and then just bash you when you're not looking
at me, like peekaboo.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
What is more?
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Do she's spitting on a guy or punching a guy
in the balls?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
One four nine four five one.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
I agree with you, because at least when you spit
on somebody, you can say, hey, man, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I wasn't spitting at you. I just missed see.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
I guess it's pretty obvious I.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
Put it in this context.
Speaker 10 (34:17):
I've punched a friend in the balls, but I will
never spit on somebody.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I will never do. Why Why did you punch your friends?
Speaker 9 (34:24):
So we were it was a junior high and it
was just a part of a whole thing.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
You make funny for being Harry Beard when you were thirteen?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
I cannot believe that's five weeks worth of the growth
man cram. You know what you might be like, there
might be like a contest that you could win or something.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
You just shave now so we can watch it for
the next five weeks until first.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
Loves it like this, So if I shaved, she'd actually
be actually angry at me.
Speaker 9 (34:53):
Kind of like you shear a sheep and it just
kind of looks ugly.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
It kind of I have such a baby face if
I don't have facial hair, looking young like the dog
from Austin Powers.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Is that what you look like?
Speaker 5 (35:04):
The skinny little is Yeah, let's see one more real quick,
one more? Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
So bad?
Speaker 8 (35:10):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 5 (35:11):
During the college football playoff rankings unveiling on ESPN last night,
committee chair Hunter You're a Check tried to make a
funny by referencing the viral six to seven gen Z
internet joke.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
But there was a change at six seven with Oregon
and Old Miss swapping spots.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
How much of it impact?
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Potentially could it be on Old Miss if it's determined
they don't have their head coach in the field.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
Six seven?
Speaker 12 (35:39):
But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion about Old
Miss and their coach, that that that was.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
All about Oregon and their performance against USC.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
All right, so I understand it. I just still don't
get it. I just don't get the whole six to
seven thing. This is something that kids are saying now
that means nothing? Is that what I'm talking about here?
Kind of whatever?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
So where did this come from? Some rap song or something?
Speaker 8 (36:03):
I don't know what?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Am I missing?
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Dixon Aubrey? You must you must have? I mean, I know,
I mean all I know. It just kind of means like, okay, whatever.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
According to goodle Ai, the term comes from the song
dut Dute by Philadelphia rappers Scrilla, released in late twenty
twenty four. The lyrics mentioned six' seven during the beat,
drop which some speculate could refer to sixty Seventh street
or a police, code though the artist has said the
meeting is.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
FLUID i don't understand, This, yeah need.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
DO i the fact that sixty, goobers a sixty year
old college football playoff committee, chair things he can make
a funny by making the six to seven.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
Joke he definitely has a middle school grand.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Kid, yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Totally somebody told him to say that there's no way
he came up with that by, himself. Right can somebody
put this in fifty two year old married white guy?
Terms what does this? Mean four nine four five? One
please help me? Out next on ninety three THREE kjra.
Event Blayne lambert cracking head coach normally will join us
On wednesdays at three forty, five but we got him
(37:11):
here right before face off tonight Against. Dallas pregame show
starts at six point thirty and the head coach is
joining us right now on the radio show live from
CP A.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Lane, coach how are, you? Man what's going?

Speaker 4 (37:28):
This let's talk about that little roadie you had man
two to one and. One by the, WAY i just
want you to know the team has been playing lights
out since you took over this radio show with me And,
dick AND i want to.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Know we both want to know if this thing goes. Nuclear,
man if you guys.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Just start to skyrocket and just start dominating THE, nhl
how much credit are you gonna give me And?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Dick BECAUSE i think we'll deserve.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
It, well it was the pep, talk you, guys gave me,
right like you know it. Was you, came you came
down to the, office and first of, all you gave
me a little what's what and what's for and who's?
Who and then and then you tried to build. Me,
yeah then you tried to build me back. Up and
and So I'm I'm i'm Doing i'm doing my best
(38:14):
to take your advice and we'll go from.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
There if us a good coaches do, right we just
tear you down to the stunts and then we built
you back. Up Lane lambert joining us, said, coach you,
know this is a very similar roster to last. Year
AND i was taking a look at where The kraken
were after twenty two games last, year and.
Speaker 9 (38:32):
They had eleven.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Wins now you have eleven wins after twenty two games this.
Year but the huge difference is they had ten. Losses
you only have five. Losses you've been able to turn
regulation losses into overtime.
Speaker 9 (38:46):
Games how have you been able to get to that?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Point is there a method to the madness of just
making sure you can get that extra goal to at
least get a?
Speaker 8 (38:53):
Point, well you, KNOW i think it's no secret That
i've stressed you, know for our team that you, know
our identity is going to, be you, know giving our
goalie the best environment possible to play, in and which,
means you, know we just have to be sound. Defensively
if you look at The National Hockey league and you,
(39:14):
know and certainly early, on there may be some games
where you get you, know seven threes and you know
there was an eight four game the other night or.
Whatever but you know a lot of times if you
if you can get to three in THE, nhl you're
gonna win a lot of hockey games because it's so,
tight and even more so this year with the parody
(39:34):
in the, league which you know has been talked about
quite a, bit you, know SO i just, think you,
know if you look at the if you look at
the record last, year and you look at the record this,
year and whatever you want to say about each one of,
them we just you, know we are playing better, defensively
and at the end of the, day that's that's a
(39:54):
bit of a formula for, success and we're doing. It you,
know we HAVE i think last year they had probably
four or five more veterans on their, team and we
brought in some young guys here and those guys are
are you, know they're contributing and they're developing and they're
learning on the fly here right now as. Well so
what appears to be maybe a similar roster of last
year isn't quite the same. Roster and you, know we're
(40:18):
our guys are doing a good job of taking ownership
of how we want to play.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
Well Lei lambert with us cracking head coach normally would
join us On wednesdays at three forty, five But lane
decided he wanted to talk to us minutes before face
off tonight Against. Dallas so we appreciate that. Coach not
a lot of coaches in THE nhl would do, that
so thank. You but we're all waiting to see what's
going on With jared, McCahon.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
RIGHT i, mean you've talked about.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
It we've talked about it that hey, man this is
your points leader from last year that has not been
available for well over a. Month what's the plan if
there is one for him?
Speaker 8 (40:49):
Tonight well it's you, know you said. It you preempted
that by saying that's our points leader from last, year
and so we're real excited you know that he's. Back
he was he was in practice yesterday full. Practice you,
know we are monitoring. Him he's you, know he's still
(41:10):
ON ir and whether or not he comes OFF ir
is a game time decision. Here but we desperately need you,
know his offensive, output and we're looking forward to getting them.
Back LIKE i, say he's getting real. Close, Coach it's.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Unbelievable eighteen teams in this league within three points of each.
Other do you did you anticipate this log jam of
teams all? Year and why is there so much parody
in twenty twenty, five twenty?
Speaker 8 (41:35):
Six you know, WHAT i don't. KNOW i, mean you
always have. Parody you always have a bit of a log.
Jam but at the same, time you, know there's there's you,
know two or three teams that are maybe in each,
conference so a total of five or six or seven
that are kind of out of. It AND i wouldn't
say right, now but like falling behind right. Now we're
(41:56):
not really seeing that this. Year AND i think one
of the reasons, is you, know the teams that haven't
been very good for you, know four or five. Years
if you want to talk, about, say you, know You're Anaheim,
ducks let's just use them for an. Example you, know
they've they've had high draft picks and and now those
draft picks are getting opportunities to uh to. Develop, uh you,
(42:20):
know they're in their third and fourth seasons in The
National Hockey. League this is a this is not an
easy league to play. In it's the best league in the,
world and so for a young guy coming into this,
league it takes a little bit of. Time and, uh
you know some of these, teams The utahs and things like,
that these teams are you, know they're seeing the the
young guys in their third and fourth years now and
(42:41):
they're having some some. Successes, so, uh it's really it's really.
Interesting and you're you're not. WRONG i, mean you have
a good week and you you just stay in, pace
and if you have a bad, week you fall out of.
Pace so you have to be real careful and every
game is so.
Speaker 5 (42:57):
Important, coach we got a little bit of a economy
between the way you guys score in the first versus
the way you score in the. Third, RIGHT i, MEAN
i look, LIKE i, mean the stats don't lie that
you guys are.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
One of the better teams in the league in the third.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
Period BUT i think If i'm not, mistaken you'd still
be looking for maybe a little bit of a faster,
start AND i GET i guess my question, is really,
twofold would you rather have that reversed where maybe you
come out, hot but you're fighting for your life in
the third or would you rather have it this way
if you had to choose one or the. Other obviously
you want to play great in both, periods but how
(43:32):
much on top of that do you think Coaching jared
mccannon coming, back all of that will potentially fix.
Speaker 8 (43:39):
That, well you're you're, right, like it's it's it's not
something you want you want to pick and. Choose you,
know you'd like to be good in both. Periods we feel,
like of, course you, know we feel like there's been
some games where we started a little. Slow you, know
the good news, is And i'll say it this away
(44:00):
from a positive, standpoint you, know our players have we've
we've had some comeback wins this, year and, uh you,
know we've showed a lot of resilience and a lot
of heart and determination in the third, period and you,
know we we just like that's the that's a little
bit of the challenge here for our hockey team is
(44:23):
AND i can't even, say play sixty minutes with our,
team we we have to count on playing sixty. Five
we've we lead the league in THE naa we in overtime,
games so you, know we're we're in every. Game we
just we'd like to see us start a little a little,
better at least the goal differential or our goal scoring
start a little. Better and, uh in the first, period.
Speaker 9 (44:42):
What's the reason for all the overtime?
Speaker 4 (44:44):
Games when you have three more overtime games this, year
you'll already match all of last.
Speaker 9 (44:48):
Season so what's the reason for the?
Speaker 4 (44:50):
Preponderance and and do you like three on three hockey
or would you prefer it's old?
Speaker 1 (44:54):
SCHOOL i, mean the.
Speaker 8 (44:57):
Three on three hockey is extremely, exciting, Right and you,
know as a, league it doesn't matter who you, are
and certainly you, know we we care about our fans a, lot,
obviously and so you, know those three on threes are super. Exciting.
Uh you, KNOW i like the way we do it
in playoffs where it's you, know just sudden death and
(45:20):
it goes to the end and it's five on five.
Hockey but you, KNOW i have a lot of time
for three on three in the regular, season for. Sure
but you, know we're we're in every, game and you,
know LIKE I i've always, said and our guys have
really embraced the fact that we're hard to play. Against
and so when you, are you, know the games are,
(45:42):
tight and you know it's just at times it just
ends up being that. Way and you, Know i'm sure
we'll play in a lot more overtime games this. Year,
potentially certainly we'd like to finish it off before the
end of. Regulation but at the end of the, day,
uh you, know points are crucial and you got to
find a way to get them and collect them every.
(46:02):
Night all.
Speaker 5 (46:03):
Right the most important question before tonight's, game what percentage
of your roster would you say Is?
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Canadian off the top of your. Head by the, way
just take a guess.
Speaker 8 (46:12):
What percentage of the percentage.
Speaker 5 (46:15):
Sixty, percent seventy, Percent what percentage ballpark do you think Is?
Speaker 8 (46:19):
Canadian i'd probably say, sixty probably sixty.
