could see you really mouth breathing.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Oh really? Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
The wife is listening right now. Literally, Gene is tuning
in right now. She literally just texted me, is this
you getting me back for the making funny?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Because you have anxiety? Is that? Is that why you're
doing this? Who me?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
The other guy? Of course you? Why am I trying
to get you back? Look ause you just got mad
at me for making fun of you.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Well you shouldn't have texted the head coach.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Well I really didn't.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
It was all theater of the mine kidding sheiano now,
Oh dude, well good luck with that.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I'm sorry that you have.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Where's Hugh Millan? He went to the bathroom and he's
probably mad at me. I haven't texted him back. I
love Hugh Millan.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
By the way, you know where hu Milan's been you?
What's up man? Where you've been? Just been around? Yeah,
he's around somewhere. You owe Hugh a text? Yeah? Probably.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Well, hey, Jackson, if you can get him back, put
him on. If you can get him back, go ahead.
He said that he wandered away. He told Hugh to
go away. Well, here, wandering away could mean a lot
of things. He may have left the house and walked
down the street for all we know. How much you
want to bet I can throw football over the right.
We could have won staked like you forgot that you
had to do this segment today.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I did.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I totally blew the morning one, gonna I'm a mess.
There's a chance and Jackson, I blew my national show
this morning.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I didn't even show.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Oh with Fox correct. Were they pissed? No, they blamed themselves,
not for relying on you. I guess I can see
that I'm pretty reliable. You are, I Jed Jackson can
confirm this.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
You are.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Out of all the shows that you and I have done,
hundreds of shows over the last twenty years, I cannot
think of one time where you have and I'm sure
it's happened once, but I cannot think of one time
where you've blown us off.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, what usually happens is You'll just call me on
the phone and then I'll be like, oh, god, right,
and then we'll do it.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Then well, I uh, there's by the way, I think
we're going to get Huan them good because there's a chance. Yeah,
just like you forgot this segment, there's a chance that
Hugh went to the bathroom and forgot that he had
to come back on we us at four thirty.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Well, sometimes people got to blow it up. That certainly
could happen.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Hey, uh, what's on the Greek Thanksgiving menu? I'm on
Uh I did some red Eye to Detroit. You that's
not until like eleven o'clock at night.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Though we haven't. We asked this every year, but you
we have a traditional Thanksgiving and they add some Greek stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Don't you have a nice dinner before your red eye
tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I guess blow it out on the plane. I'm on, uh,
I like you on the toilet. But we probably will
have why, We'll probably have some domadis, you know. I'm
on the grape leaves. I'm on probably have some spinac.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
I'm on kozanas kitchen dot com and I'm looking at
a traditional Greek Thanksgiving meal. Well, how there is no
traditional Greek Thanksgiving Greek salad?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Do ahead, mashed potatoes, green bean. I mean you didn't drink.
Spank your pita?
Speaker 2 (09:56):

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yes, yes, finally somebody to talk to.
Speaker 2 (10:19):

Speaker 6 (10:21):

away from you guys. You just do work your magic
what's happening.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I owe you a text, Hugh. It's all good, So
let's talk.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
What do you want to tell me?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
The you gave me the gentry? You know? No, I
have to full full disclosure.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Uh my telephone number and Softy can can Uh if
he's not gone, you can attest to this. Uh My
telephone number is sponsored, so I give it out once
a year on the radio show. And it's been about
twenty years and the number hasn't changed since I was
a teenager. So uh so everybody has my number. I
(11:01):
get about six hundred text a day and sometimes somebody
and the reason I can discern is that somebody's name
is in the phone, but your name is not in his,
Hugh Millan, unfortunately, it's don't answer, no, I made a mistake.
It's in his high milon.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I don't know. Well, Tim's name high like the guy
from raising Arizona or a yeah, like an old Timy name.
It's in there.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And uh so sometimes it gets by me through the wickets,
through the catcher and the rise and speak and I apologize,
but I love and respect you and I'm happy to
be speaking.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Well.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
We got a visit that and a conversation that does
not belong on air, and you know what.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'll copy that. Okay, yeah, that's fine. Well I'm down
here and fight the fight, you know, Hugh, Wait a minute,
Wait a minute, your sons of bitches. You can't go
on the air and tease us like that.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
What the hell's going on?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Hey, sof you never looked through the face mask of
the packed this is my name, Hugh, you know, yeah,
Well guess what I looked through the face mask of
a plastic face mask at Kinko football my junior year.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
So suck it you and I've been through the walls.
Do you know the story when when Dave went to quit?
Speaker 6 (12:16):
So you need to hear this, Dave, tell the story
when you quit football?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Why?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Why?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Why are you doing this? Hey? I quit football at CAL.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I left Cal in the middle of the night and
Hitchhike told him like an idiot, So don't feel bad.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I don't feel bad.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
And I was like a big recruit for them, and
I completely blew it.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Well, I was not a big recruit, although my mom
got me on the Michigan recruiting list somehow. And I'm
getting letters from Bo Schimbeckler, hand signed by bo you've
seen those. Hugh telling me he's been following my career
with great interest, which I knew he was a liar.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You gotta have a guy that puts her hand on
the ground.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
He was looking for a Jewish long snapper, and my
name came up on their database. But I went to
quit my senior year because a guy transferred over and
took my starting center job, guy named Mike Chamberlain. That
bastard transferred over from Inner Lake. And I'm like, I'm
not gonna go do this and get beat up and
just not to start. I've been waiting for this opportunity.
And so Dwayne Hatch looked at me. I swear to God,
(13:14):
this is true, Petros and said, well, I'll tell you
what Peter. So, yeah, it's Dave coach Steve And I
saw him like ten years later, and he's I swear
I had a Peter Maler. Yeah that was me, of Putts.
I didn't even know who I was, so.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I felt like that, Yeah I quit.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, why you couldn't just kick you over the guard?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
No? No, there was somebody else there at guard? No? Yeah,
what about the other bad news man? Bad news anyway? Yeah,
Well I left callum humiliation. Yeah, well tell us that story.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I got a nervous breakdown.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Hey, you're not supposed to laugh at this year. It's twenty.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
That's funny as hell.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
There's a book written by a really famous author, like
really high end literature. And the guy's name is Don DeLillo,
and he wrote a book. He wrote a lot of books,
but he wrote some very famous books. But he wrote
a little novella called end Zone, and it's a weird
little book about football. And in it, the player is
(14:23):
like a Penn State white running back who gets obsessed
with like some girl in a dorm and like goes
insane and locks himself in a room and won't come out,
and then ends up transferring to like a small Texas college.
And then the book goes on from there about football,
and then very slowly. It's a short book, maybe one
hundred pages, and I would anybody who's interested in the
(14:44):
weird ethereal kind of bigger meaning of football might want
to read. It's only about a hundred you know. And
then it kind of just slowly morphs into the language
of nuclear war, which is the language, which is the
language of football. It's the Great Iron all of those
things are nuclear war. That's what's them. That's what they
(15:07):
based it out of all of it. Yeah, defense leverage.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
You know, when I.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Think of a guy going and saying locking himself in
a dorm room, playing football, going nuts over at chick,
I think a nuclear war.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Well that's what it came to at the end of
the book.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
But but anyway, Yeah, I read that book, and maybe
I read that book a long time ago, and it
helped me understand why.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, ask him that question again here he didn't hear that.
I said, what's white got to do with it? I
was like, what what? What?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I was expecting a certain you.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Know what in that time, probably nothing, because at Penn
State you had John Capilletti and stuff like that. Right,
But when I played football, everybody was black, and I
talked like I was black for years.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Did you really? Yeah? It took me a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
To not wow, you know, when I was talking to
other like football people, like what would you say?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I'm not doing it?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
But for years and years I used to also speak
Patois because we had a Jamaican nanny, so I kind
of came by it naturally.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Geez, Okay, Well, you know that I do know that
about it.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
But you know, you remember when Barkley said, Hey, this
is a hell of the times we're living in where
you've got the best rapper is white and the best
golfer is black.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, I mean and and uh, I mean when when
Toby Gerhardt was really the guy that I was like, damn,
you know, this is a white running back and he's
worthy of winning the Heisman. And then McCaffrey came and
and now it's you know, it's a different word.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Come on, man, give us a little bit of an
example of what you would say, just as I mean,
we got it says like Barbara Billingsley talking jive in airplane.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Come on, it's just the way people.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
We've just had five black guys text the show.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
They want to know what you sounded like.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Come on, it is not how people talk anymore anyway.
I don't have auto tune. Okay, fine, all right, well whatever,
come on. That was a good joke, recorded and texted
to me off the ear. I promise I won't play.
We used to listen to screw music. Do you know
what screw music.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Is like when you're doing it?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, screw music like DJ Screw and Michael five thousand watts.
We had a lot of black guys from Texas in
my time.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
You've told that story before.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You Well, what I'm saying is they were all you know,
And this is not a this is not a hidden secret.
There was a big and still is a big promethesne
codeine drinking problem in Texas. And the rap music was
super slowed down, and then they would slow down the
voice too, because you know, hey, you're on cody, so
(17:37):
it'd be like gropp.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Like that, and that's that's what I grew up.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
God, no wonder, you can't even get on a dem plane.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
So we used to live like that. You know, That's
that's not how it is. You know now the rappers
wear tight jeans. Oh god, they're for government supremacy. It's
really weird.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Hey, how real quick, as we're running out of time here,
How badly?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
What do you guys, Harlan coming on?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
No, he's at five? You want to hang around to
an extra segment?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Not? I mean you're you're already drunk. What the hell's
the difference? I'm not drunk. That would take him a
lot more.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
How badly are the Husky's going to get turass kicked
on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
And Eugene Well, I think because of the last three years,
not the three years, but three games, right, the last
three games. Don't do the Jonathan Smith's long gone.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
He's a great coach. You missed him when he left, Jimmy.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Lake, we did. Absolutely, He's a great dude.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I love you missed him when he took that Michigan's
State job. But he could have had what he could have.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
He could have. Would you rather have Jonathan he or
Jed Fick? Well, who would you rather have? That's a
good question. Actually, you'd rather have the hunchback of Notre Dame.
And you know it. Hey, do your jetfish impression for you?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Hugh Millon?
Speaker 2 (19:16):

Speaker 5 (20:54):
By the way, Uh, Kevin Harlan joining us at five
o'clock tonight textimonials. Next segment on radio show, I want
to go to Eugene, Oregon for a quick second though.
Courtesy of Brenna Green's Twitter account. Linebacker Bryce Betcher Hugh
of the Oregon Ducks had this to say, I believe
after practice today regarding his feelings about the team he's
(21:17):
about to see come to Eugene the Huskies on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
There's a little extra into this game.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
And for those that say, you know, there's not, don't
worry about the opponent.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I mean, thanks a little bit. Bs. You know, I
hate the Huskies, have never liked him.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
So I'll be playing my butt off when the one
game time, you know, you know, the balls kicked off.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
So yeah, it's time to go. Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Because for years and years and years, coaches have always
said we approach every game the same, just like it
was the week before and the week before that.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
And it's absolute total nonsense.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
And I've known that for years, by the way, Hugh,
But you know what finally did it for me. You
know what finally put it over the top for me, Okay,
was when Chris Peterson came on the show, Chris Peterson,
if there's any coach out there who actually is going
to try and treat every game the same, it's that guy.
At least that's what we thought. And he came on
the air before the Apple Cup and said, you know what,
(22:08):
the Apple Cup Man, every single year I was a.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Little more fired up. We were more fired up.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Practice was more spirited, the coaches were more fired up.
And if I would have asked him, by the way
before the Apple Cup when he was the coach of
the Huskies, hey, Chris, do you approach this game differently?
He would have bitten my frickin' head off in public.
You know he would have. And he's even admitting that
this game means more. So the question is does it
mean more this year? Does it have the same juice
because of where Washington's at, what they've gone through the
(22:36):
last year, and where Oregon's at right now?
Speaker 6 (22:38):
No, I don't think it has the same juice at all,
because we're grading on the on a relative scale. Right,
when you consider what was at stake a year ago
in both the game in Seattle, right and the game
in Vegas, this can't even come close to that, And
on some level you look in and say that you
(22:59):
know Oregon this year because of the nature of having
already clinched the championship game for the Big Ten, that's
a factor that reduces a little bit from their perspective,
And then for Washington be middling around five hundred, it
reduces it from our perspective. So no, I don't see
(23:20):
how you could argue that this rises to the level
of the two games from a year ago, or even
the game from two years ago.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
No, no question about it.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
That's why I've just kind of, you know, for me,
and maybe I'll feel differently Saturday at four point thirty, Hugh,
I'm not really sweating Saturday at all, honestly. I mean,
Washington is just not in a position right now, I
think to go down there and win a game like this.
Are they in a position to go down there and
compete and keep it close and.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Cover the spread?
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Maybe, But Washington losing this game Saturday, and even Washington
getting hammered by Oregon on Saturday, I don't think could.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Shuck anybody, right.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
So look, if I'm an Oregon fan, hey, this is
a game that you're supposed to win, it's a game
that Dan Lanning is supposed to win. Like, does this
really get Dan Lanning off the Washington schneid if he
wins this game against a mediocre to below average Washington
football team. Well, it does for him for sure, but
does it for the fan base? I mean, for example,
they play Washington again next year in Washington's good and
(24:22):
they lose that game, all of a sudden, the narrative
up here is going to be, Hey, Dan Lanning can't
beat Washington when they're good. So I just don't know
how much Washington has to lose this weekend. I think
Dan Lanning has a lot more to lose than Fishers. Yeah,
there's there's a lot to lose in there.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
You know.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
You could say, well, they'd be eleven and one and
they'd still play in the Big Ten championship game, right,
But from from his home personal perspective, I wouldn't want
to live in Eugene and be zero for four, That's
Right'd be embarrassing, be embarrassing for Dan.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Tournaments and all the rest.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Oh yeah, absolutely, especially after where we got you dub
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Now? So so what do you do? What do you
do Saturday? If you're Jetfish.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Right.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
There's two questions here. There's what would Hugh Millan do
and what does he think Jedfish will do at quarterback
on Saturday?
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Well, I think that because of what has transpired and
because of how they have managed the quarterback situation. The
last we saw from Will Rogers, he just looked like
a shell of himself and so that would have me
very concerned. The question for Demond Williams. About Demond Williams
(25:32):
I should say, is Dave, I just want you to imagine,
you know, how a defensive coach sits down on a
Sunday and he says, Okay, I'm gonna throw on the
tape of my opponent. And you know, there's other assistance
that may have done advance scouting, but but you're gonna
take your first look on a Sunday morning at your
opponent and you're going to look at that quarterback and
you say, okay, what is he going to do to
(25:53):
pierce my defense with the football? Is he going to
be a great runner? Okay, then we've got to plan
for a great runner. Is he more of a pocket passer?
He's going to try and pierce me through the ear.
Here's what has me a little bit concerned from a
husky perspective. Demond Williams here, we got all excited about
what he did against UCLA, and look, he looked poisoned.
(26:15):
And the athleticism is off the chain. That's undeniable, right,
the dudess a live wire. But he had eight pass
attempts and the air yards were minus four. Five of
his pass attempts out of the eight were attempted. This now,
these are the NFL how they calculate. The minus five
(26:35):
were behind the line. Screams were negative. Two were either zero.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
One.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
There was one that was greater than one yard. One
completion great and that was six yards on a slant route.
So and so you look in the one hundred and
sixty two plays that Demond Williams has been on the
field for Washington this year, he has three completions where
the ball has traveled more than ten yards from the
(27:01):
line of scrimma. That's air yards on completions. That's one
in every fifty four. Remember that will Rogers five hundred
and fifty one snaps, He's got forty four completions where
the ball is ten or more air yards. That's one
in twelve point five. So you go from one in
fifty four with the runner and Will Rodgers obviously the passer. Well,
(27:25):
what is one in twelve and a half. What does
that mean? Put that into perspective. Dylan Gabriel he is
one in twelve point eight, so basically right at Will Rogers,
and in fact Will Rodgers is incrementally has has those
type of passes beyond ten yards with greater frequency than
(27:45):
Dylan Great Gabriel, who's a Heisman candidate. So now the advantage.
Let's just talk about the runs. Notice no design runs
for Will Rogers this year. He has ten scrambles for
seven twenty two yards of seven point two average. Demon
Williams has thirteen scrambles one hundred nine and eight point four,
(28:06):
so you know, a yard more. And then he's got
thirty five excuse me, a total thirty twenty two design
runs for one hundred and forty.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Six yards six point six average. So he's given you demand.
Williams is giving you.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
More as a scrambler, slightly more on an average, but
certainly more.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Your eyeballs tell you what the numbers are.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
The question is he giving you enough as a runner
to offset his deficiency in terms of his ability to
throw the football down the field and get completion. Y.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Yeah, we're gonna find out Saturday against a really good defense.
I mean, Oregon's got the number eight scoring defense in
the country, number seven total defense in the country, number
twenty nine rushing defense in the country, and the number
seven passing defense in the country. So hey, they're good.
They're good all over. Man, we'll get a break. Textimonials

could see you really mouth breathing.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Oh really? Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
The wife is listening right now. Literally, Gene is tuning
in right now. She literally just texted me, is this
you getting me back for the making funny?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Because you have anxiety? Is that? Is that why you're
doing this? Who me?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
The other guy? Of course you? Why am I trying
to get you back? Look ause you just got mad
at me for making fun of you.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Well you shouldn't have texted the head coach.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Well I really didn't.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
It was all theater of the mine kidding sheiano now,
Oh dude, well good luck with that.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I'm sorry that you have.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Where's Hugh Millan? He went to the bathroom and he's
probably mad at me. I haven't texted him back. I
love Hugh Millan.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
By the way, you know where hu Milan's been you?
What's up man? Where you've been? Just been around? Yeah,
he's around somewhere. You owe Hugh a text? Yeah? Probably.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Well, hey, Jackson, if you can get him back, put
him on. If you can get him back, go ahead.
He said that he wandered away. He told Hugh to
go away. Well, here, wandering away could mean a lot
of things. He may have left the house and walked
down the street for all we know. How much you
want to bet I can throw football over the right.
We could have won staked like you forgot that you
had to do this segment today.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I did.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I totally blew the morning one, gonna I'm a mess.
There's a chance and Jackson, I blew my national show
this morning.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I didn't even show.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Oh with Fox correct. Were they pissed? No, they blamed themselves,
not for relying on you. I guess I can see
that I'm pretty reliable. You are, I Jed Jackson can
confirm this.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
You are.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Out of all the shows that you and I have done,
hundreds of shows over the last twenty years, I cannot
think of one time where you have and I'm sure
it's happened once, but I cannot think of one time
where you've blown us off.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, what usually happens is You'll just call me on
the phone and then I'll be like, oh, god, right,
and then we'll do it.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Then well, I uh, there's by the way, I think
we're going to get Huan them good because there's a chance. Yeah,
just like you forgot this segment, there's a chance that
Hugh went to the bathroom and forgot that he had
to come back on we us at four thirty.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Well, sometimes people got to blow it up. That certainly
could happen.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Hey, uh, what's on the Greek Thanksgiving menu? I'm on
Uh I did some red Eye to Detroit. You that's
not until like eleven o'clock at night.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Though we haven't. We asked this every year, but you
we have a traditional Thanksgiving and they add some Greek stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Don't you have a nice dinner before your red eye
tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I guess blow it out on the plane. I'm on, uh,
I like you on the toilet. But we probably will
have why, We'll probably have some domadis, you know. I'm
on the grape leaves. I'm on probably have some spinac.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
I'm on kozanas kitchen dot com and I'm looking at
a traditional Greek Thanksgiving meal. Well, how there is no
traditional Greek Thanksgiving Greek salad?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Do ahead, mashed potatoes, green bean. I mean you didn't drink.
Spank your pita?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (09:57):

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Uh, citrus, turkey, spinach and the cheese you with pumpkin?
Whatever the hell that is?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
What do you want to tell me?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
The you gave me the gentry? You know? No, I
have to full full disclosure.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Uh my telephone number and Softy can can Uh if
he's not gone, you can attest to this. Uh My
telephone number is sponsored, so I give it out once
a year on the radio show. And it's been about
twenty years and the number hasn't changed since I was
a teenager. So uh so everybody has my number. I
(11:01):
get about six hundred text a day and sometimes somebody
and the reason I can discern is that somebody's name
is in the phone, but your name is not in his,
Hugh Millan, unfortunately, it's don't answer, no, I made a mistake.
It's in his high milon.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I don't know. Well, Tim's name high like the guy
from raising Arizona or a yeah, like an old Timy name.
It's in there.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And uh so sometimes it gets by me through the wickets,
through the catcher and the rise and speak and I apologize,
but I love and respect you and I'm happy to
be speaking.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Well.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
We got a visit that and a conversation that does
not belong on air, and you know what.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'll copy that. Okay, yeah, that's fine. Well I'm down
here and fight the fight, you know, Hugh, Wait a minute,
Wait a minute, your sons of bitches. You can't go
on the air and tease us like that.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
What the hell's going on?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Hey, sof you never looked through the face mask of
the packed this is my name, Hugh, you know, yeah,
Well guess what I looked through the face mask of
a plastic face mask at Kinko football my junior year.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
So suck it you and I've been through the walls.
Do you know the story when when Dave went to quit?
Speaker 6 (12:16):
So you need to hear this, Dave, tell the story
when you quit football?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Why?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Why?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Why are you doing this? Hey? I quit football at CAL.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I left Cal in the middle of the night and
Hitchhike told him like an idiot, So don't feel bad.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I don't feel bad.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
And I was like a big recruit for them, and
I completely blew it.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Well, I was not a big recruit, although my mom
got me on the Michigan recruiting list somehow. And I'm
getting letters from Bo Schimbeckler, hand signed by bo you've
seen those. Hugh telling me he's been following my career
with great interest, which I knew he was a liar.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You gotta have a guy that puts her hand on
the ground.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
He was looking for a Jewish long snapper, and my
name came up on their database. But I went to
quit my senior year because a guy transferred over and
took my starting center job, guy named Mike Chamberlain. That
bastard transferred over from Inner Lake. And I'm like, I'm
not gonna go do this and get beat up and
just not to start. I've been waiting for this opportunity.
And so Dwayne Hatch looked at me. I swear to God,
(13:14):
this is true, Petros and said, well, I'll tell you
what Peter. So, yeah, it's Dave coach Steve And I
saw him like ten years later, and he's I swear
I had a Peter Maler. Yeah that was me, of Putts.
I didn't even know who I was, so.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I felt like that, Yeah I quit.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, why you couldn't just kick you over the guard?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
No? No, there was somebody else there at guard? No? Yeah,
what about the other bad news man? Bad news anyway? Yeah,
Well I left callum humiliation. Yeah, well tell us that story.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I got a nervous breakdown.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Hey, you're not supposed to laugh at this year. It's twenty.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
That's funny as hell.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
There's a book written by a really famous author, like
really high end literature. And the guy's name is Don DeLillo,
and he wrote a book. He wrote a lot of books,
but he wrote some very famous books. But he wrote
a little novella called end Zone, and it's a weird
little book about football. And in it, the player is
(14:23):
like a Penn State white running back who gets obsessed
with like some girl in a dorm and like goes
insane and locks himself in a room and won't come out,
and then ends up transferring to like a small Texas college.
And then the book goes on from there about football,
and then very slowly. It's a short book, maybe one
hundred pages, and I would anybody who's interested in the
(14:44):
weird ethereal kind of bigger meaning of football might want
to read. It's only about a hundred you know. And
then it kind of just slowly morphs into the language
of nuclear war, which is the language, which is the
language of football. It's the Great Iron all of those
things are nuclear war. That's what's them. That's what they
(15:07):
based it out of all of it. Yeah, defense leverage.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
You know, when I.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Think of a guy going and saying locking himself in
a dorm room, playing football, going nuts over at chick,
I think a nuclear war.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Well that's what it came to at the end of
the book.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
But but anyway, Yeah, I read that book, and maybe
I read that book a long time ago, and it
helped me understand why.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, ask him that question again here he didn't hear that.
I said, what's white got to do with it? I
was like, what what? What?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I was expecting a certain you.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Know what in that time, probably nothing, because at Penn
State you had John Capilletti and stuff like that. Right,
But when I played football, everybody was black, and I
talked like I was black for years.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Did you really? Yeah? It took me a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
To not wow, you know, when I was talking to
other like football people, like what would you say?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I'm not doing it?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
But for years and years I used to also speak
Patois because we had a Jamaican nanny, so I kind
of came by it naturally.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Geez, Okay, Well, you know that I do know that
about it.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
But you know, you remember when Barkley said, Hey, this
is a hell of the times we're living in where
you've got the best rapper is white and the best
golfer is black.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, I mean and and uh, I mean when when
Toby Gerhardt was really the guy that I was like, damn,
you know, this is a white running back and he's
worthy of winning the Heisman. And then McCaffrey came and
and now it's you know, it's a different word.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Come on, man, give us a little bit of an
example of what you would say, just as I mean,
we got it says like Barbara Billingsley talking jive in airplane.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Come on, it's just the way people.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
We've just had five black guys text the show.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
They want to know what you sounded like.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Come on, it is not how people talk anymore anyway.
I don't have auto tune. Okay, fine, all right, well whatever,
come on. That was a good joke, recorded and texted
to me off the ear. I promise I won't play.
We used to listen to screw music. Do you know
what screw music.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Is like when you're doing it?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, screw music like DJ Screw and Michael five thousand watts.
We had a lot of black guys from Texas in
my time.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
You've told that story before.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You Well, what I'm saying is they were all you know,
And this is not a this is not a hidden secret.
There was a big and still is a big promethesne
codeine drinking problem in Texas. And the rap music was
super slowed down, and then they would slow down the
voice too, because you know, hey, you're on cody, so
(17:37):
it'd be like gropp.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Like that, and that's that's what I grew up.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
God, no wonder, you can't even get on a dem plane.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
So we used to live like that. You know, That's
that's not how it is. You know now the rappers
wear tight jeans. Oh god, they're for government supremacy. It's
really weird.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Hey, how real quick, as we're running out of time here,
How badly?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
What do you guys, Harlan coming on?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
No, he's at five? You want to hang around to
an extra segment?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Not? I mean you're you're already drunk. What the hell's
the difference? I'm not drunk. That would take him a
lot more.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
How badly are the Husky's going to get turass kicked
on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
And Eugene Well, I think because of the last three years,
not the three years, but three games, right, the last
three games. Don't do the Jonathan Smith's long gone.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
He's a great coach. You missed him when he left, Jimmy.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Lake, we did. Absolutely, He's a great dude.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I love you missed him when he took that Michigan's
State job. But he could have had what he could have.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
He could have. Would you rather have Jonathan he or
Jed Fick? Well, who would you rather have? That's a
good question. Actually, you'd rather have the hunchback of Notre Dame.
And you know it. Hey, do your jetfish impression for you?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Hugh Millon?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
What a great quarterback and a family of quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I'm sorry, all right, we gotta go, you gotta go. Hey, listen,
good luck tomorrow. All right, just grab something to hang
on to for four hours. You'll be fine, all right.
Enjoyed Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That'll be Dan Helly's inner thigh. There you go.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Enjoy Thanksgiving with the family. Tell everyone I said a
law we love you and we're talking.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
A week el Gina, Happy Thanksgiving and happy Thanksgiving to
the great Mellon family.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
All right, man, see it, pal, All right, I'm gonna
beat the doc. That's true. The dockies. What time is
your flight tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
By the way, Oh he left ten o'clock all right,
So at ten o'clock tomorrow, start praying for Petros that
he has a safe flight to East Lansing for the
Michigan State. I gotta get home too, all right man,
and then pray for him on the way back. Good stuff.
We'll get a break more with you Millan next on
ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Coop Live from the R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick on your Home for
the Huskies and the Crooking Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ r FM.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
All right, big thanks to our friend Petros for jumping
on the radio show here with us, and go home
and have yourself a little Thanksgiving refreshments and throw some
of that what he say, scream music on?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
I always thought that was just like, you know, music
when you're about to mum, you know whatever, So.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Apparently it means totally different. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
By the way, Uh, Kevin Harlan joining us at five
o'clock tonight textimonials. Next segment on radio show, I want
to go to Eugene, Oregon for a quick second though.
Courtesy of Brenna Green's Twitter account. Linebacker Bryce Betcher Hugh
of the Oregon Ducks had this to say, I believe
after practice today regarding his feelings about the team he's
(21:17):
about to see come to Eugene the Huskies on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
There's a little extra into this game.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
And for those that say, you know, there's not, don't
worry about the opponent.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I mean, thanks a little bit. Bs. You know, I
hate the Huskies, have never liked him.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
So I'll be playing my butt off when the one
game time, you know, you know, the balls kicked off.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
So yeah, it's time to go. Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Because for years and years and years, coaches have always
said we approach every game the same, just like it
was the week before and the week before that.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
And it's absolute total nonsense.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
And I've known that for years, by the way, Hugh,
But you know what finally did it for me. You
know what finally put it over the top for me, Okay,
was when Chris Peterson came on the show, Chris Peterson,
if there's any coach out there who actually is going
to try and treat every game the same, it's that guy.
At least that's what we thought. And he came on
the air before the Apple Cup and said, you know what,
(22:08):
the Apple Cup Man, every single year I was a.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Little more fired up. We were more fired up.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Practice was more spirited, the coaches were more fired up.
And if I would have asked him, by the way
before the Apple Cup when he was the coach of
the Huskies, hey, Chris, do you approach this game differently?
He would have bitten my frickin' head off in public.
You know he would have. And he's even admitting that
this game means more. So the question is does it
mean more this year? Does it have the same juice
because of where Washington's at, what they've gone through the
(22:36):
last year, and where Oregon's at right now?
Speaker 6 (22:38):
No, I don't think it has the same juice at all,
because we're grading on the on a relative scale. Right,
when you consider what was at stake a year ago
in both the game in Seattle, right and the game
in Vegas, this can't even come close to that, And
on some level you look in and say that you
(22:59):
know Oregon this year because of the nature of having
already clinched the championship game for the Big Ten, that's
a factor that reduces a little bit from their perspective,
And then for Washington be middling around five hundred, it
reduces it from our perspective. So no, I don't see
(23:20):
how you could argue that this rises to the level
of the two games from a year ago, or even
the game from two years ago.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
No, no question about it.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
That's why I've just kind of, you know, for me,
and maybe I'll feel differently Saturday at four point thirty, Hugh,
I'm not really sweating Saturday at all, honestly. I mean,
Washington is just not in a position right now, I
think to go down there and win a game like this.
Are they in a position to go down there and
compete and keep it close and.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Cover the spread?
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Maybe, But Washington losing this game Saturday, and even Washington
getting hammered by Oregon on Saturday, I don't think could.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Shuck anybody, right.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
So look, if I'm an Oregon fan, hey, this is
a game that you're supposed to win, it's a game
that Dan Lanning is supposed to win. Like, does this
really get Dan Lanning off the Washington schneid if he
wins this game against a mediocre to below average Washington
football team. Well, it does for him for sure, but
does it for the fan base? I mean, for example,
they play Washington again next year in Washington's good and
(24:22):
they lose that game, all of a sudden, the narrative
up here is going to be, Hey, Dan Lanning can't
beat Washington when they're good. So I just don't know
how much Washington has to lose this weekend. I think
Dan Lanning has a lot more to lose than Fishers. Yeah,
there's there's a lot to lose in there.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
You know.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
You could say, well, they'd be eleven and one and
they'd still play in the Big Ten championship game, right,
But from from his home personal perspective, I wouldn't want
to live in Eugene and be zero for four, That's
Right'd be embarrassing, be embarrassing for Dan.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Tournaments and all the rest.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Oh yeah, absolutely, especially after where we got you dub
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Now? So so what do you do? What do you
do Saturday? If you're Jetfish.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Right.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
There's two questions here. There's what would Hugh Millan do
and what does he think Jedfish will do at quarterback
on Saturday?
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Well, I think that because of what has transpired and
because of how they have managed the quarterback situation. The
last we saw from Will Rogers, he just looked like
a shell of himself and so that would have me
very concerned. The question for Demond Williams. About Demond Williams
(25:32):
I should say, is Dave, I just want you to imagine,
you know, how a defensive coach sits down on a
Sunday and he says, Okay, I'm gonna throw on the
tape of my opponent. And you know, there's other assistance
that may have done advance scouting, but but you're gonna
take your first look on a Sunday morning at your
opponent and you're going to look at that quarterback and
you say, okay, what is he going to do to
(25:53):
pierce my defense with the football? Is he going to
be a great runner? Okay, then we've got to plan
for a great runner. Is he more of a pocket passer?
He's going to try and pierce me through the ear.
Here's what has me a little bit concerned from a
husky perspective. Demond Williams here, we got all excited about
what he did against UCLA, and look, he looked poisoned.
(26:15):
And the athleticism is off the chain. That's undeniable, right,
the dudess a live wire. But he had eight pass
attempts and the air yards were minus four. Five of
his pass attempts out of the eight were attempted. This now,
these are the NFL how they calculate. The minus five
(26:35):
were behind the line. Screams were negative. Two were either zero.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
One.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
There was one that was greater than one yard. One
completion great and that was six yards on a slant route.
So and so you look in the one hundred and
sixty two plays that Demond Williams has been on the
field for Washington this year, he has three completions where
the ball has traveled more than ten yards from the
(27:01):
line of scrimma. That's air yards on completions. That's one
in every fifty four. Remember that will Rogers five hundred
and fifty one snaps, He's got forty four completions where
the ball is ten or more air yards. That's one
in twelve point five. So you go from one in
fifty four with the runner and Will Rodgers obviously the passer. Well,
(27:25):
what is one in twelve and a half. What does
that mean? Put that into perspective. Dylan Gabriel he is
one in twelve point eight, so basically right at Will Rogers,
and in fact Will Rodgers is incrementally has has those
type of passes beyond ten yards with greater frequency than
(27:45):
Dylan Great Gabriel, who's a Heisman candidate. So now the advantage.
Let's just talk about the runs. Notice no design runs
for Will Rogers this year. He has ten scrambles for
seven twenty two yards of seven point two average. Demon
Williams has thirteen scrambles one hundred nine and eight point four,
(28:06):
so you know, a yard more. And then he's got
thirty five excuse me, a total thirty twenty two design
runs for one hundred and forty.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Six yards six point six average. So he's given you demand.
Williams is giving you.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
More as a scrambler, slightly more on an average, but
certainly more.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Your eyeballs tell you what the numbers are.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
The question is he giving you enough as a runner
to offset his deficiency in terms of his ability to
throw the football down the field and get completion. Y.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Yeah, we're gonna find out Saturday against a really good defense.
I mean, Oregon's got the number eight scoring defense in
the country, number seven total defense in the country, number
twenty nine rushing defense in the country, and the number
seven passing defense in the country. So hey, they're good.
They're good all over. Man, we'll get a break. Textimonials
