Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where we go as part of our relentless coverage of
the NFL. I'm proud your home for the twelfth man,
probably presidents of Washington State Beat Commissions. Football Friday, probably
brought to you by the Washington Beef Farmers and Wrenchers Beat.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's What's for Dinner?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Football Friday is on with Safie and Dick on Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All right, so, because we were apparently rolling on this
and the crosstalk, is that right, Jackson, we don't have
that on tape. Okay, Dick, we gotta just do this
one time and we can bump back with it the
entire show if you want.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
But let me just make sure we got the right rider.
We got it. Who's off? Nice? Very nice? There you go,
it's very Nice're getting some weird looks from people over here.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
That's okay.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
They're not used to our time coming in here.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I got a buddy, I gotta buddy and his son
that made the trip. He's he's so high yet, but
he's he's coming to night to the bar.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
How old your buddy's son?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
By the way, ah, sixteen sixteen okay, great.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So the Jamison I ordered for him. I'll just drink
Oh yeah, perfect, I'll just like that. That's that. That's
not going to be his Ask me, why, hey, dude,
have you been out here, by the way to this area.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Not never been to that neck of the woods, not
even close to that neck of the woods. I mean
in all the major cities around there, but not in
the middle of the state.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think I think you hit the nail on the
head with the word woods, because there's a lot of
woods out here.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
We were we were kind of debating how many dead
bodies were in those woods by the way.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Kind of story drive were Pittsburgh, right, We came.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
From Pittsburgh and it wasn't that scary.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
But you look out in the woods, you're thinking, man,
is that where like a bunch of bodies from Sopranos
were buried? Or that is I have no idea how
many times we said, is that where they filmed Deliverance?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
In those woods over there?
Speaker 6 (01:47):
All?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Judging by the hotel you stayed in last night, there
might have been some bodies in that like cavern that
you took a picture of, Well.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That was I think that was actually a prison in
the nineteen twenties by the way. But the actual hotel
at the Joinery in Pittsburgh, the place is like one
hundred years old.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
He used to be a theater house, by the way.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So, but that's the cool thing about all these buildings
is everything here is so fricking old. Yeah, right, Like
we don't have that. We don't have that kind of
feel Back in Seattle. We have some of that feel,
but there's like buildings under one hundred and twenty years old,
and you know, you got four hundred year old tombstones
and the cemeteries around here.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Man, it's bananas.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
So but but I drove by the stadium today on
the way to the show here and we're at Champs
Sports Bar in in Happy Valley at Penn State. There's
two of them, by the way, so make sure you
go to the right one. We're on the Atherton location.
I texted Greg and Mario and said, there's two of
these Champs Sports bars.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Here's the right one.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
They'll they said, they'll be here at seven o'clock, but
I don't know if they'll really actually go to the
right Barho, there's a chance those guys will met Who's.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Chance who's got the better chance that doyn't mess it up.
Gregor Mario.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Probably Mario, to be honest interesting, Yeah, probably Mario. Yeah,
you know Greg's Greg's a little more I think reliable
when it comes to stuff like that, you know, but slightly.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I mean, it's not like a big gap, to be
totally honestly.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Except when he leaves his cell phone at the chief.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's right, that's right, or in in yeah, or in
the studio and what takes the elevator downstairs?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Members he lost his cell phone and can't get back up.
You got the.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Elevators have closed down for the night, and he can't
call anybody because his cell phone is in the studio.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
But we're at this bar. It's packed already.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I mean, Dicket's Friday night, six pm in a college town, right,
and this is like just you know, I was telling
you in this you're the old ESPN is on, like
the Fox Sports girls back in the day with like
the double deckers, the hard Rock Cafe. That's what this
place is like. There's a cigar bar downstairs, there's another
bar upstairs. We're kind of in the main area. We're
surrounded by Penn State fans. There's a bunch of Husky
fans though here right with us. I'm lugging this freaking
(03:37):
speaker out here with us to do the show. Yeah,
they wouldn't let me set it up because they don't
want a big time Husky homer broadcast infiltrading the entire bar.
So all the people that showed up just showed up
to have some cocktails on that fun.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
What's the percentage of purple and gold and navy and
white in that fall?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Ten percent? Huskies? Yeah, I mean we're three thousand miles
away from home.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Man, right, but I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I it's like.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
This is going to be the husk.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
If we had commandeered an actual bar and the entire
bar was ours, it'd be packed, Okay. I mean you've
been to shows like this with us before. We did
a party the night before the game in Houston. There's
a thousand people there before the National Championship. I remember
the great My favorite road show we ever did was
when the Huskies played on a Saturday at ASU and
the Seahawks played the Cardinals on a Thursday night, and
(04:21):
we did the show from Glendale from that Irish bar
there where all those restaurants are outside the stadium and
the freaking place couldn't even open on Friday because the
Seahawks fans and the Husky fans drake him.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
And ate them dry. Yeah, nothing left.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, we're not gonna have a show like that tonight,
but it's gonna be pretty impressive.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
When the last time we played Penn State was down
there in Arizona and that bar was just nothing. I
mean there was hundreds and hundreds, but that's also Arizona,
where a ton of Husky fans live. I don't think
a ton of Husky fans live within a drive of
the stadium they're at tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
No, I don't think there's gonna be when you turn
on TV. There's not gonna be a big representation of
Husky fans here. But I was listening to I think
it was the radio broadcast of the penns Ohio State
game a week ago, and they had I think they
call it their helmet stripe game where there's like each
side of the stadium on the fifty yard line, they
have just fans wearing blue for the helmet stripe to
(05:10):
go right down the fifty yard line. And the guy
on radio whoever's doing the game, was commenting that there
was a small little sliver of Buckeye fans like stuck
up in the corner and that was about it. So
I don't think there's gonna be on TV a real
big time representation of purple and gold. As a matter
of fact, I can guarantee it. It's hard to get here,
it's a long ways away. Tickets are expensive, tickets aren't
(05:33):
really available. There's one hundred and five thousand I think
seats in the stadium, but they're talking about having maybe
ten more thousand SROs, you know, people in the park.
So you're popping that thing up to one hundred and
fifteen thousand people tomorrow. And this is all they do
out here, man, I mean, like you said, I mean,
you're three hours from Philly, You're three hours from Pittsburgh,
You're two hours from Harrisburg. There's nothing around here. This
(05:55):
is Penn State football and basketball. It's Penn State University.
There's eighty eight thousand and kids that go to school here.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Is that right, Yes, eighty eight thousand and.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Sixty with the underground that right?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
So I mean, I'm looking forward to seeing the spectacle,
but the last time I saw a spectacle with you,
Dub was when we went to Michigan Stadium.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Three years ago, it got our asses killing. I don't
think the same thing happens tomorrow, Dick. I really don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I don't either. I don't either.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
And my my question is, particularly in the second half,
how well can that front seven of the Dogs hold up,
because because the only two times that we really faced
the team on the road that could test us, Indiana
and Iowa, that's the same thing happened in both games.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You went into the halftime of both games going.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Hey, you know we're not ahead, but we're right in it, right,
and then it just it just like the Tide came
in and just washed that front seven away in the
second half. And Penn State's the type of team that
can do that to you. So hopefully this defense has learned,
and you know, hopefully they'll be able to play a
little bit better at five o'clock Seattle time instead of
(07:02):
nine am in Seattle time like they did those two games.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Well, the only real blowout they've had at home against
a Power four team was Ucla, And I say that
because it was like twenty seven to three in the
fourth quarter and Ucla got some garbage points late in
the game.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Do we think the Huskies are better than UCLA? Absolute?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Okay, whether they should be able to hang with these
guys unless Penn State is just completely pissed off about
what happened last week and they just played their best
game of the year, and unless you dub is just
completely you know, soiling themselves right over the atmosphere tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Well, that being said, I mean you could you could
absolutely look at it that way. They could come bounce back,
you know how much I like the bet teams coming
off embarrassing losses, right but.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
In this sense of Penn's. In the sense of Penn.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
State, though, they're also now going to be quick to
get on James Franklin. So if the Husky they're already
on the edge against James Franklin right now for his
inability to be really really good teams, If the Huskies
can somehow come out touchdown, stop field goal and they're
up to nothing, maybe there's one hundred and ten thousand
(08:02):
murmurs in the stadium and maybe a few booze for
James Franklin and his football team.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
That's what you gotta do.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
You gotta start faster, You're not coming from behind like
they've been on the road all year long. The Huskies
have had to come from behind on the road.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, I'm just really curious to see how they handle
this Tyler Warren kid. I mean, we're gonna have you
on the air at five o'clock tonight, and he's been
this will be a shock. He's been watching film breaking
it down on Tyler warn Oh. I've seen one hundreds
of hours of type on that guy. So we're gonna
ask you at five o'clock about this kid. But he's
the best tight end the Huskies have seen, by far,
the best tight and they will see by far.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
He's from Mechanicsville, Virginia. Perfect.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Just think, thinking your mind's eye about what a guy
looks like who's from a town called Mechanicsville, Virginia.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
He's six six to sixty.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
He had two hundred and twenty four yards on seventeen
catches against USC in the overtime game. I can't remember
the last time at tight end in seventeen catches in
any game. But I'm really curious to see I saw
your poll about Belichick and Fish today. I'm really curious
to see Dick how Belichick handles this guy, so let's
get a break. We're at Champs Sports Bar on Atherton
Street here at Penn State, getting ready for the game tomorrow.
(09:07):
It's six ' ten here at night, East Coast, three eleven.
Back in Seattle. Rick new Heisel is gonna join us
next segment. Lee Sterling will be on with us at
three forty five. I believe Mario and Greg are on
the way over here and they will join us at four.
Hugh's gonna hop on at five, and then Steve Jones
is the longtime voice of Penn State football and basketball.
He's gonna pop on with us here, I hope from
the bar at six o'clock. As we are again in
(09:30):
really enemy territory, but well represented, I think for tonight
by Husky fans, we're gonna break a lot more to
get to on a busy Friday from Penn State. Big
thanks to Delta and Venue Kings as well. On ninety
three three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Your home for college football Saturdays, is live with CBS
sports analyst Rick new Heisel, 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 How do you Taco
Time customize your mealing order ahead on the Taco Time
Northwest Taco Time time for something different.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now with Rick Neuheisel, here's Softy and Dick.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
All right, we are live at Penn State getting ready
for dub and the Nitny Lions tomorrow pregame one kickoff
at five right here on ninety three to three kJ
arfm but here courtesy of our pals at Taco Time.
But by the way, I also heard guys that Robbie
talking himself. The Taco Time King will be here in
attendance tomorrow at Beaver Stadium watching this game, so we
(10:32):
may bump into him tonight at some point as well.
But joining us right now on the radio, so normally
on Thursdays, but with us here on a Friday, our
friend Rick new Heizel, how are you man?
Speaker 8 (10:41):
I am wonderful, and I apologize for forgetting my phone
as I took my wife to the airport in New
York yesterday. But it turns out it with sarendipitous because
now you're on the program, so well.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You know what, I just don't get how somebody forgets
their phone. I mean if I forget my phone, I
realize it in like five seconds.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I start to cry and I have to go home.
How do you do that?
Speaker 8 (11:00):
I'm a little older. I'm a little older than you.
I have yet to have it a fix to my body.
Like most people in much younger than I can't go
anywhere without it. I don't have that affliction.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, good for you. It's a disease for sure, and
I suffer from it. But hey, I'm here in the
Happy Valley at Penn State. Never been here. Can't wait
to see what this thing looks like tomorrow. I drove by,
just telling Dick in the.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
First you're gonna love it.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Well. I drove by the stand I love it. Scared
the hell out of me. I mean, the place is
freaking enormous.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
So what is the atmosphere with this white out going
to be like for those of us that are here
to see this in person.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
So years ago, when I was coaching for the Ravens,
Joe Paterno invited me. He and I became pals on
these Nike trips, and he invited me to the Ohio
State game, which was a white eye, and I brought
my three sons and we were on the field, and
I mean, you are going to feel an electricity tomorrow
night that is unique to college football. Obviously, Husky Stadium
(11:58):
gets like that when you know to key plays or
what have you. We've heard all we have the magic
in Seattle as well. But this is going to be fun.
And you're going to sing a bon Jobie song tomorrow
night like louder than you've ever sang it, and it's
going to be like, Okay, this is cool. But I
think the Huskies are up to the challenge. And by
the way, while in town, you got to go get
(12:18):
a little ice cream from the creamery tomorrow and get
a little Peachy Paternal.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
All right, Peach Paternal. They still have that on the menu.
Huh interesting, okay, Bill on the menu.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
Absolutely well, so.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Rick, when you're in the locker room going into a
house of horrors like that, you know, a night game,
wide out, massive amount of people. I mean, is it
a different conversation that you have with your team than
when you just have a typical twelve thirty start against
anybody else.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
It's you don't have to do anything to get your
team in a spirit to play. The emotion and the
uh andrenaline will be pumping. So now it's about a calmness.
And if you think about Washington on the road in
this first year in the Big Ten, whether it be
the Rutgers game or the two early games in the
(13:10):
Indiana and Iowa, they started well, but they haven't finished.
So right now it's got to be a situation where
they go out and just play within themselves. Because when
they've done that against USC and or Michigan, they played beautifully.
And to me, that's what can happen tomorrow night. This
is a fourth try on the road, on the long trip.
(13:31):
It's a big venue. You're gonna love playing here. Now,
just enjoy it, but play within yourself. And just as
Steve Belichick will have said a million times after his father,
just do your job.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, absolutely, well, Rick new Heisl's with us courtesy a
Taco time. So what is Steve Belichick going to tell
us guys about the job in defending this Tyler Warren kid.
He had seventeen catches against usc Udub's got fifty five
catches from their leading receiver, Rick and Joles Jackson. This
guy's got fifty one from the end spots. So put
your old defensive hat on if you ever wore that
(14:03):
back in the day, and tell me what Steve Belichick
should do to slow this kid down.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
I said this at halftime of that SC game. I said,
you better find Warren or he's scoring. And the very
first drive in the second half, he lines up at
center and caught a touchdown pass. I mean, honest to goodness,
they had a formation and Andy Kotalnikki, who's their offensive coordinator,
came over from Kansas, has been a breath of fresh air.
(14:28):
Minus the game where they kind of reverted back and
were a little pedestrian against Ohio State, he has found
ways to get Tyler Warren the ball. So obviously Steve Belichick,
who comes from that Belichickian principle of takeaway what they
do best, there will be a plan for forty four.
You better know where he is on every down.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Speaking of Belichick, I may just be being a Husky
homer here, but I think the Husky defense and coordinator
Steve Belichick have been a couple of the greatest secrets
in college football this year.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Would you agree with that?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Rick?
Speaker 8 (15:01):
As a matter of fact, we had Jed Fish on
our program on full ride on serious XM, and I
asked him, does Steve is he liking college football? And
he said, you know, he brings his kids out to practice,
which was never allowed, you know, with his dad being
the coach, and Jed was obviously on that staff as well.
(15:21):
But he brings his kid out and the kids can
race the players and you know, get to know the players.
And he's kind of falling for this college game in
this college atmosphere. And it wouldn't be surprising that, you know,
he says, I want to do this. I want to
raise my kids in this kind of environment. No guarantee
in that regard, but Jed seemed optimistic that there was
a chance he would be around for a while.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Well, I think a lot of Husky fan I don't
know if there's ever been a time in history, Rick,
where Husky fans are keeping an eye on what's happening
at Florida right and for obvious reasons. I mean, you
got a guy in Jed Fishue went to Florida Where's
the Visor as a tribute to Steve Spurrier. And then
it was just kind out yesterday that Billy Napier is
not going anywhere. Now here's the thing I saw this
statement from like the ad and it just said he's
(16:05):
not going anywhere.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Well when next year, end of this year, because we've
seen plenty.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Of people come out and make statements like that and
then all of a sudden they get whack. So I've
heard that Florida has approved the regents have approved this
buyout if they do want to go down that road,
which is twenty five million. But do we think that
Billy Napier is locked and loaded for twenty twenty.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
Five I think the fact that he said this before
they head into this gauntlet of the next few weeks
where they have Texas this week, I think Florida. Who
in Texas, it's Ole miss and then it's Florida State
still left on the schedule, so they've got they've got,
(16:46):
you know, a haunted house of a schedule. I think
he said this just so that he protects Billy Napier.
I don't think they want to pay the buyout. I
think they want to do exactly and finish the season.
The fact that they played so hard against Georgie and
had a chance to win before Lagway got hurt, I
think sealed the deal. And I think he just wanted
to put the rest all the thoughts about doing anything.
(17:09):
Lane Kiffin had been the number one guy that's Florida
fans for targeting. I know Jed's going to be in
that conversation, especially if they finish as well as Husky
fans hope they do. But the bottom line is, I
believe that Jed's going to be in Seattle for the
foreseeable future.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Rick, we got to see firsthand why USC fans are
clamoring at Lincoln Riley right now. I mean, what did
you think of him benching Miller Moss? I mean, it
wasn't Moss that decided to throw at thirty of the
first thirty nine plays instead of running Woody Marks down
our throw?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What did you think of that call by Riley?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
And now he's in the portal, by the way, Moss.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Yeah, it's an amazing thing that Lincoln Riley. And by
the way, it runs in the family. Garrett Riley, the
offensive coordinator at Clemson, had Cad Klubnick throw at fifty
plus times as well. When Phil Maffa literally has thirty
carries for one hundred and seventy yards, I mean, why
are you not continuing to run the ball and Woody
(18:08):
marks for USC is averaging five point seven per carry
and has over eight hundred yards rushing, but they won't
hand it off. It is a confusing thing. I don't
know if there's you know, a deal made with these
wide receivers to get them to come down that they're
going to get these kind of touches. But Benching Moss
I understand it because they were having to use, you know,
(18:32):
extra guys to chip the defensive ends because they just
don't trust their tackles and Jade and Mayava. The transfer
for you, UNLB is a little bit more agile, But
to me, they're missing out not running the ball more.
And it'll be interesting to see if if that'll become
part of Lincoln Riley's plan going forward.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
With my own, well, I gotta be honest with I
think if they run the ball in both haves, I
think we lose last weekend against US. That guy was
the best back, I mean, maybe even better than Kaden Johnson.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
He came john.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Fantastic, He had a monster game against Penn State, and
yet they wouldn't run him. It just does it's confounding.
Given I mean they're ahead of if they're like eighty
something in the country and rushing and you have to
go all the way up into the thirties to find
somebody who's rushing for more yards per Karl.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Well, here's why I love this twelfth team playoff.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Rick, and people said it's going to ruin the regular season,
and I always thought, Nope, you're wrong, it's going to
enhance it because we got there's a couple of games
this weekend, including Georgia and ole Miss where if ole
Miss has any shot, they have to win out Alabama
and LSU Alabama has any shot, they got to win
out win in the hell have we ever in November
given a damn about what a two loss team is
(19:47):
doing on Saturday, and now we.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Care because of the twelve team playoff.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Man, isn't this exactly what the twelfth team playoff was
meant to do.
Speaker 8 (19:56):
It's the greatest thing we've ever done. And I'll say
it again. We have those playoff games on December twentieth
on a Friday night, and then the three games on
December twenty first. On that Saturday, We're going to sit
and see those home stadiums rocking. Hopefully some really good
competitive games that go into the fourth Cortern, We're going
to ask ourselves why have we been doing this forever?
(20:17):
Because college football always delivers. And I couldn't agree with
you more after that CFT came out the other night.
The top seventeen teams all can win out and get
to the playoff. And that's seventeen fan bases, including ones
that Iowa State and BYU and others that are sitting
there going we'd never had this kind of chance. Even
(20:38):
Colorado has a chance. The Colorado Texas Tech game this
weekend is a monumental one for both those teams because
the winner of the Big Twelve gets in and they
both still have a chance.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Rick, you mentioned BYU the Holy War is opposite of
what we thought it was going to be. We thought
it was going to be BYU trying to knock Utah
out of the playoff race, and instead it's the op said,
it's Utah trying to knock BYU out of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Can they do it?
Speaker 8 (21:05):
You know, I just you know, I think Kyle Whittingham
is one of the best out there. He's so consistent.
But it has been ridiculous how pedestrian that they've been
offensively without Sam Rising and while this kid that's playing
quarterback is a good player. He just isn't consistent enough,
so I think, and it's like a three or four
(21:27):
point line. It's shocking to me, but that was the
case when Byu went back to play UCF as well.
They got no respect. So give me the Cougars. I'll
lay whatever the number is and I take Byu. Klaniocky
is the heck of a coach.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
No doubt. Hey, who do you like in that Georgia
Old Miss game?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
George is coming off not playing so good a week.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
I'm taking Georgia, even though Carson Beck has been an
accident waiting to happen and uh, and obviously Ole Miss
coming off a great performance at Arkansas. I just think
that for neetic defense and Kirby Smart will give them
another They don't they don't respect your speech, even though
everybody in the country thinks they're one of the best teams.
(22:07):
It will be, Uh, it'll be a wild scene, but
I'm gonna take Georgia in that game.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Who is the best team in the country right now?
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Oregon. Oregon is the best team in the country because
they have the most capable quarterback in terms of handling
all the situations. H he's very, very, you know, efficient diligence.
I think he's a coach's best friend. And as long
as they stay competent in both offense and defensive lines,
they're the best team right now.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
All right, Well, you got back in the win column
a week ago, my friend with Minnesota Illinois two. That's right,
two out of three, or I think it's two out
of three. You know, what, the hell with it, We'll
give it to you anyway, two out of three. It
is two out of three Cincinnati. Minnesota lost with Arkansas,
but two and one the last three games, two and
(22:56):
two the last four. Uh, let's make it three out
of four, and let's get this done here.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Who do you like tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (23:05):
I'd love Washington tomorrow night, but I'm not jinxing our Huskies.
I love getting thirteen. I love getting thirteen and a half.
I think they especially since it's not an early game,
they'll be ready. They're gonna be jazz to play in
this environment. And Will Rodgers is a capable guy. But
I'm gonna take Alabama and baton rouge. I think they're
(23:27):
a two and a half point pick. Listen, that situation
in LSU is much like the one we talked about
at USC. They throw the ball too much and Garrett
Nusmeyer is prone to throw it to the other team.
I think that LSU is the last place team in
rushing the football, and the SEC will come back to
haunt them, even though they've got a home field advantage.
(23:49):
I'm going to take Milroe and company to get it
done in the Bayou.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Hey, By the way, before you go on that, what
happened to Jaln Milroe? I mean I saw him play
a couple of weeks ago and he just looks awful
throwing the football.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
Yeah, I don't know what has happened, but they've had
a bye week and hopefully they get back to what
they showed in that first half against Georgia. It's going
to be a scene in Baton Rouge. It's a playoff game.
Both teams have a chance to make it. Alabama was
ranked eleventh in the first TFP. They can bolster that,
and they've got Mercer in Auburn and one other down
(24:26):
the stretch, maybe Mississippi State. That to me gives them
a great chance to finish strong. I'm going to take
role Tiders in this all right, I.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Love it, all right, enjoy it. We'll talk in a week. Man,
appreciate this coach, coach.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Hey, enjoy happy valley, my friend.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Hey, hang onut a second, Hey, hang on, hey, let's
hear it for Rick New highs from everybody. They love
your coach, They still love your coach, still love you, alright.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Man, tell them to enjoy.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Go dogs, go dogs.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
All right, let's get to at Factor fiction right now.
Brought to by the Emeral Queen.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Where's that to go?
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Glad you're with us?
Speaker 9 (25:04):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, brought to
you by the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of
the Northwest. Make the beautiful new EQC Sportsbookie your home
all football season long. Fact Door Fiction is on Sports
(25:25):
Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
All Right, Dick probably figured this out.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
There's a reason why I stuck in a question about
that Georgia Ole Miss game.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Oh, I got it for coach, all right, and.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I totally agree with him. I mean I saw this
line and I was actually a little bit surprised. And
you mentioned earlier how you like to jump on teams
that are coming off tough losses or maybe tough performances.
And I think we all agreed Georgia did not play
well versus Florida a week ago, and they're going.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Do Ole Miss this weekend to take on Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And maybe, just maybe, because you asked Rick who the
best team in the country was, somebody could maybe make
the argument for Georgia. Certainly, maybe they are the best
team in the country. And they're given two and a half,
they're gonna win by three at Ole Miss coming off
that game that you know Kirby Smart ripped their ass
last week after that floor Absolutely Kirby Smart versus Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Or would you see how did you see how piss
Kirby was in the press conference when they ask him
about as visor.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
No, what I just shot? He's just shot him down.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
He's like, sorry, I don't waste time on which visor
I pick, Like he is so dead on focus this week.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I love it. Well, let's take Georgia the hell with it.
Given two and a half at Ole Miss. Rick likes him,
and so do I. I mean, we're sitting here pick
number twenty. There's not much left in the tank and
I saw that game, and I'm actually shocked that nobody's
taking it yet. So Bulldogs laying the two and a
half dick against Ole Miss is the game. You agree,
it's fact, you hate it, it's fiction. To four nine
four five one right now, all brought to you by
(26:48):
the emeral Queen Casino.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I think they're a better team if I'm taking a
quarterback at the next level, I'm certainly taking Old Missus
quarterback over George's quarterback. But you don't just win with quarterbacks,
you win with the rest of the team as well.
And you know, this Ole Miss team has had problems
against good team scoring points. They scored plenty of points
when they play Georgia Southern and Furman and Middle Tennessee,
(27:09):
but when they played what the Hell's When they played
Kentucky they scored seventeen. Yeah, when they played Oklahoma, they
scored twenty six. When they played LSU, they took them
to overtime and so scored only twenty six. So yeah,
this Georgia team should be able to hold Little Miss
right around twenty to twenty four, and that should be
enough for Georgia to cover.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well, I'll tell you what we are.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
We are about a week away from just closing our
eyes and just pointing at the scoreboard to pick a
game in factor fiction. Okay, so let's hopefully we can
make at least ourselves kind of maybe a little bit
of redemption this week with our selections. Georgia minus the
points is the pick Factor fiction to four nine, four
to five one. Right now, I'll brought you by the
(27:52):
emeral Queen. We are at Penn State for the game tomorrow.
Pregame from the stadium starts at one, kickoff at five

we are live at Penn State right here on ninety
three three KJRFF.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
We gotta make the let change for this weekend. I
did well look no further.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Than Paramount Sports leasterly did tell you. All right, guys,
we're back here at Penn State. Sofie, Dick and Jackson
with you until six twenty tonight. We got cracking hockey
nights and cracking, don't you know coming up at six
thirty pre game seven o'clock face off right here on
ninety three three KJRFM. Here he is joining us right
in the right now on the radio show twenty seven,
(29:26):
twenty two and one on the air two and three
last week. But that's okay, still well over five hundred.
Our friend from Paramount Sports, Lee Sterling, how are.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
You, man, I'm good. Gonna have to get you down
here to So four to see the Stanley Cup champions
one day.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Yeah no, that's okay. Why not because I don't give
a date with you.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I don't know what you can You can go to
the beach and ten minutes away you were in a
hockey game.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I I don't think anybody in Florida cares about the Panthers,
let alone me going down.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
Come on, come on, I joked on board list.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah yeah, sure you did. Ah, you did jump on board.
All right.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Hey, let's get to it. Indiana and Michigan. Let's start
there in Bloomington, Man, the Hoosiers. How many times have
the Hoosiers and Wolverines guys played a game where Indiana
is giving fourteen and.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
A half against Michigan. That is nuts.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Might have been when Lee Corso with coaching Indiana. I
mean it's crazy. They were down ten to nothing and
then all of a sudden a forty zero run. They
won ninth straight. They covered eight straight. That one of
the games was no line. I just don't think Michigan
has the offense twelve points against Texas, seven against Illinois.
(30:40):
I thought they played well last week against Oregon. It
can only muster seventeen points. I think they're played out here.
I'm not getting in front of the Indiana choo Choo
Indiana Hoosiers thirty four to thirteen.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
All right, you mentioned the Ducks there.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
They're twenty three and a half point favorites at Audson
against Maryland making the long trip west YEP.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
When Maryland played Indiana and lost forty two to twenty eight,
Indiana was ranked. Now they're ranked. When Maryland played Minnesota
and lost forty eight to twenty three, Minnesota wasn't ranked.
Oregon ranked number one in the country, as we all know,
been near that high all season, scoring in the forties.
(31:23):
It seems like on everyone the Ducks appear to be
getting better by the week, even they are telling you
they're gelling. Maryland has allowed forty two and forty eight
points to Indiana in Minnesota and allowed six point eight
and seven yards per snap. Oregon should get at least
as much Ducks forty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
All right, take the Ducks. Give the points Penn State
ub tomorrow. Looking forward, to it. I'm not sure if
I'm looking forward to the actual ending of the game,
but looking forward to the spectacle for sure. I think
the Huskis will play them tough. What do you think
Penn State's given thirteen and a half?
Speaker 7 (31:57):
I do too. You know this saw sense for Penn State.
Nothing special, no home run hitters at wide receiver, running
backs are pretty good, but the quarterback, I mean, nothing special.
And they had some really good play calling when they
played USC But the game last week, just near the
goal line, that was atrocious. First in goal to three.
They could not get it done. I think they're down.
(32:20):
I just think that you got to get on quick.
Can't have a slow start like the last couple of
games they've played on the road. I think Penn State
wins the game here twenty seven to twenty three, but
I think Washington's gonna hand close.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I heard a lot of people talk about this one.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
San Francisco got home against Tampa and they're wondering why
San Francisco is less than a full touchdown favorite. They're
given six and a half, and they got Christian McCaffrey
coming back, and they're off a bye week.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
I don't get it. I mean, yeah, maybe it's been
because they've been outscored seventy one to forty four in
the fourth quarter, but they're rested. The Buccaneers, playing for
the tenth straight week, have also one less data prepare
having played the Chiefs and then traveling back. McCaffrey should
go at least sixty seventy percent as long as he
(33:07):
doesn't get hurt here. So I think they're gonna They're
gonna finish strong here. San Francisco thirty to twenty one.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Okay, how about the Rams in Miami, your Dolphins, man,
The Rams are all of a sudden, the Rams.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Are good, all of a sudden. Everyone loves the Rams.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
All of a sudden, the Rams aren't trading Cooper Cup
and they aren't trading Matt Stafford, and they're given one
at home against Miami.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
Well, obviously, you know the pick six was the game.
That was the difference in that game. So that looks
like they get everyone back and when they have their
full compliment. They got Stafford, Williams, all the top receivers.
I think they're a top five offense. So against this
vaunted Vikings defense, the Rams generated three hundred and eighty
six yards on five point eight yards per play, with
(33:50):
twenty six first downs, no sacks allowed in just one turnover.
I think Miami's much better now. The two is back.
They went from averaging ten to averaging twenty seven points
a game. But it's probably enough. They're missing their right tackle,
couple guys in the secondary. I think the Rams pull
it out thirty one twenty seven, and I don't understand
the line. It's going down to one point.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Yeah, got you all right?
Speaker 3 (34:12):
You got some up your sleeve on this Wazoo Utah
State game, don't you.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
Yep? First five callers get it for free. Call eight
hundred four hundred nine seven one. First five callers, it's
on me. And how about this, We're bringing back the
world's famous Baker's Dozen thirteen games combined Saturday and Sunday

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah, don't forget, it's not November. It's November. That's right

corny names?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
By the way, and lead breaking news Geno just threw
another pick.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Yeah yeah, Jackson.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Find somebody who beats on a player more than Dick
beats on Geno Smith. I mean just random shots out
of nowhere, out of the blue, like we're sitting here
talking about our favorite movies.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Gino sucks.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
What do you he was just telling me throwing the
pig six?
Speaker 7 (35:04):
What do you tell your son Dick when he likes
a double bogie? What do you tell him?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
I tell him three more hours on the range?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Right? You know what he says to him, He's the
same son, you suck.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I'm not paying for this coffee anymore, That's what he says.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Green fees.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Good lord.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Alright, Lee, great stick, you can enjoy the weekend. We'll
talk to him buddy. All right, Lee Sterling with us
on the show. We're gonna break. Greg and Mario Dick
are on the way. We just got a message from
Greg that traffic is terrible, so though, yeah, well I
can't confirm that. To be honest with you, I let
him know where the right one, but I can't confirm
their on the way to the right one. Greg and
Mario will join us in the four o'clock hour at
(35:43):
some point in time, Hugh Milling at five, and then
Steve Jones, a longtime voice of Penn State football, at
six o'clock. Tonight you want to win a pair of

Football Friday is on with Safie and Dick on Sports

Speaker 3 (00:28):
All right, so, because we were apparently rolling on this
and the crosstalk, is that right, Jackson, we don't have
that on tape. Okay, Dick, we gotta just do this
one time and we can bump back with it the
entire show if you want.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
But let me just make sure we got the right rider.
We got it. Who's off? Nice? Very nice? There you go,
it's very Nice're getting some weird looks from people over here.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
That's okay.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
They're not used to our time coming in here.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I got a buddy, I gotta buddy and his son
that made the trip. He's he's so high yet, but
he's he's coming to night to the bar.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
How old your buddy's son?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
By the way, ah, sixteen sixteen okay, great.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So the Jamison I ordered for him. I'll just drink
Oh yeah, perfect, I'll just like that. That's that. That's
not going to be his Ask me, why, hey, dude,
have you been out here, by the way to this area.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Not never been to that neck of the woods, not
even close to that neck of the woods. I mean
in all the major cities around there, but not in
the middle of the state.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think I think you hit the nail on the
head with the word woods, because there's a lot of
woods out here.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
We were we were kind of debating how many dead
bodies were in those woods by the way.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Kind of story drive were Pittsburgh, right, We came.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
From Pittsburgh and it wasn't that scary.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
But you look out in the woods, you're thinking, man,
is that where like a bunch of bodies from Sopranos
were buried? Or that is I have no idea how
many times we said, is that where they filmed Deliverance?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
In those woods over there?
Speaker 6 (01:47):
All?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Judging by the hotel you stayed in last night, there
might have been some bodies in that like cavern that
you took a picture of, Well.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That was I think that was actually a prison in
the nineteen twenties by the way. But the actual hotel
at the Joinery in Pittsburgh, the place is like one
hundred years old.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
He used to be a theater house, by the way.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So, but that's the cool thing about all these buildings
is everything here is so fricking old. Yeah, right, Like
we don't have that. We don't have that kind of
feel Back in Seattle. We have some of that feel,
but there's like buildings under one hundred and twenty years old,
and you know, you got four hundred year old tombstones
and the cemeteries around here.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Man, it's bananas.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
So but but I drove by the stadium today on
the way to the show here and we're at Champs
Sports Bar in in Happy Valley at Penn State. There's
two of them, by the way, so make sure you
go to the right one. We're on the Atherton location.
I texted Greg and Mario and said, there's two of
these Champs Sports bars.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Here's the right one.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
They'll they said, they'll be here at seven o'clock, but
I don't know if they'll really actually go to the
right Barho, there's a chance those guys will met Who's.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Chance who's got the better chance that doyn't mess it up.
Gregor Mario.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Probably Mario, to be honest interesting, Yeah, probably Mario. Yeah,
you know Greg's Greg's a little more I think reliable
when it comes to stuff like that, you know, but slightly.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I mean, it's not like a big gap, to be
totally honestly.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Except when he leaves his cell phone at the chief.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's right, that's right, or in in yeah, or in
the studio and what takes the elevator downstairs?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Members he lost his cell phone and can't get back up.
You got the.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Elevators have closed down for the night, and he can't
call anybody because his cell phone is in the studio.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
But we're at this bar. It's packed already.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I mean, Dicket's Friday night, six pm in a college town, right,
and this is like just you know, I was telling
you in this you're the old ESPN is on, like
the Fox Sports girls back in the day with like
the double deckers, the hard Rock Cafe. That's what this
place is like. There's a cigar bar downstairs, there's another
bar upstairs. We're kind of in the main area. We're
surrounded by Penn State fans. There's a bunch of Husky
fans though here right with us. I'm lugging this freaking
(03:37):
speaker out here with us to do the show. Yeah,
they wouldn't let me set it up because they don't
want a big time Husky homer broadcast infiltrading the entire bar.
So all the people that showed up just showed up
to have some cocktails on that fun.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
What's the percentage of purple and gold and navy and
white in that fall?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Ten percent? Huskies? Yeah, I mean we're three thousand miles
away from home.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Man, right, but I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I it's like.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
This is going to be the husk.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
If we had commandeered an actual bar and the entire
bar was ours, it'd be packed, Okay. I mean you've
been to shows like this with us before. We did
a party the night before the game in Houston. There's
a thousand people there before the National Championship. I remember
the great My favorite road show we ever did was
when the Huskies played on a Saturday at ASU and
the Seahawks played the Cardinals on a Thursday night, and
(04:21):
we did the show from Glendale from that Irish bar
there where all those restaurants are outside the stadium and
the freaking place couldn't even open on Friday because the
Seahawks fans and the Husky fans drake him.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
And ate them dry. Yeah, nothing left.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, we're not gonna have a show like that tonight,
but it's gonna be pretty impressive.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
When the last time we played Penn State was down
there in Arizona and that bar was just nothing. I
mean there was hundreds and hundreds, but that's also Arizona,
where a ton of Husky fans live. I don't think
a ton of Husky fans live within a drive of
the stadium they're at tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
No, I don't think there's gonna be when you turn
on TV. There's not gonna be a big representation of
Husky fans here. But I was listening to I think
it was the radio broadcast of the penns Ohio State
game a week ago, and they had I think they
call it their helmet stripe game where there's like each
side of the stadium on the fifty yard line, they
have just fans wearing blue for the helmet stripe to
(05:10):
go right down the fifty yard line. And the guy
on radio whoever's doing the game, was commenting that there
was a small little sliver of Buckeye fans like stuck
up in the corner and that was about it. So
I don't think there's gonna be on TV a real
big time representation of purple and gold. As a matter
of fact, I can guarantee it. It's hard to get here,
it's a long ways away. Tickets are expensive, tickets aren't
(05:33):
really available. There's one hundred and five thousand I think
seats in the stadium, but they're talking about having maybe
ten more thousand SROs, you know, people in the park.
So you're popping that thing up to one hundred and
fifteen thousand people tomorrow. And this is all they do
out here, man, I mean, like you said, I mean,
you're three hours from Philly, You're three hours from Pittsburgh,
You're two hours from Harrisburg. There's nothing around here. This
(05:55):
is Penn State football and basketball. It's Penn State University.
There's eighty eight thousand and kids that go to school here.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Is that right, Yes, eighty eight thousand and.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Sixty with the underground that right?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
So I mean, I'm looking forward to seeing the spectacle,
but the last time I saw a spectacle with you,
Dub was when we went to Michigan Stadium.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Three years ago, it got our asses killing. I don't
think the same thing happens tomorrow, Dick. I really don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I don't either. I don't either.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
And my my question is, particularly in the second half,
how well can that front seven of the Dogs hold up,
because because the only two times that we really faced
the team on the road that could test us, Indiana
and Iowa, that's the same thing happened in both games.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You went into the halftime of both games going.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Hey, you know we're not ahead, but we're right in it, right,
and then it just it just like the Tide came
in and just washed that front seven away in the
second half. And Penn State's the type of team that
can do that to you. So hopefully this defense has learned,
and you know, hopefully they'll be able to play a
little bit better at five o'clock Seattle time instead of
(07:02):
nine am in Seattle time like they did those two games.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Well, the only real blowout they've had at home against
a Power four team was Ucla, And I say that
because it was like twenty seven to three in the
fourth quarter and Ucla got some garbage points late in
the game.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Do we think the Huskies are better than UCLA? Absolute?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Okay, whether they should be able to hang with these
guys unless Penn State is just completely pissed off about
what happened last week and they just played their best
game of the year, and unless you dub is just
completely you know, soiling themselves right over the atmosphere tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Well, that being said, I mean you could you could
absolutely look at it that way. They could come bounce back,
you know how much I like the bet teams coming
off embarrassing losses, right but.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
In this sense of Penn's. In the sense of Penn.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
State, though, they're also now going to be quick to
get on James Franklin. So if the Husky they're already
on the edge against James Franklin right now for his
inability to be really really good teams, If the Huskies
can somehow come out touchdown, stop field goal and they're
up to nothing, maybe there's one hundred and ten thousand
(08:02):
murmurs in the stadium and maybe a few booze for
James Franklin and his football team.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
That's what you gotta do.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
You gotta start faster, You're not coming from behind like
they've been on the road all year long. The Huskies
have had to come from behind on the road.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, I'm just really curious to see how they handle
this Tyler Warren kid. I mean, we're gonna have you
on the air at five o'clock tonight, and he's been
this will be a shock. He's been watching film breaking
it down on Tyler warn Oh. I've seen one hundreds
of hours of type on that guy. So we're gonna
ask you at five o'clock about this kid. But he's
the best tight end the Huskies have seen, by far,
the best tight and they will see by far.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
He's from Mechanicsville, Virginia. Perfect.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Just think, thinking your mind's eye about what a guy
looks like who's from a town called Mechanicsville, Virginia.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
He's six six to sixty.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
He had two hundred and twenty four yards on seventeen
catches against USC in the overtime game. I can't remember
the last time at tight end in seventeen catches in
any game. But I'm really curious to see I saw
your poll about Belichick and Fish today. I'm really curious
to see Dick how Belichick handles this guy, so let's
get a break. We're at Champs Sports Bar on Atherton
Street here at Penn State, getting ready for the game tomorrow.
(09:07):
It's six ' ten here at night, East Coast, three eleven.
Back in Seattle. Rick new Heisel is gonna join us
next segment. Lee Sterling will be on with us at
three forty five. I believe Mario and Greg are on
the way over here and they will join us at four.
Hugh's gonna hop on at five, and then Steve Jones
is the longtime voice of Penn State football and basketball.
He's gonna pop on with us here, I hope from
the bar at six o'clock. As we are again in
(09:30):
really enemy territory, but well represented, I think for tonight
by Husky fans, we're gonna break a lot more to
get to on a busy Friday from Penn State. Big
thanks to Delta and Venue Kings as well. On ninety
three three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Your home for college football Saturdays, is live with CBS
sports analyst Rick new Heisel, 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 How do you Taco
Time customize your mealing order ahead on the Taco Time
Northwest Taco Time time for something different.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now with Rick Neuheisel, here's Softy and Dick.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
All right, we are live at Penn State getting ready
for dub and the Nitny Lions tomorrow pregame one kickoff
at five right here on ninety three to three kJ
arfm but here courtesy of our pals at Taco Time.
But by the way, I also heard guys that Robbie
talking himself. The Taco Time King will be here in
attendance tomorrow at Beaver Stadium watching this game, so we
(10:32):
may bump into him tonight at some point as well.
But joining us right now on the radio, so normally
on Thursdays, but with us here on a Friday, our
friend Rick new Heizel, how are you man?
Speaker 8 (10:41):
I am wonderful, and I apologize for forgetting my phone
as I took my wife to the airport in New
York yesterday. But it turns out it with sarendipitous because
now you're on the program, so well.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
You know what, I just don't get how somebody forgets
their phone. I mean if I forget my phone, I
realize it in like five seconds.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I start to cry and I have to go home.
How do you do that?
Speaker 8 (11:00):
I'm a little older. I'm a little older than you.
I have yet to have it a fix to my body.
Like most people in much younger than I can't go
anywhere without it. I don't have that affliction.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, good for you. It's a disease for sure, and
I suffer from it. But hey, I'm here in the
Happy Valley at Penn State. Never been here. Can't wait
to see what this thing looks like tomorrow. I drove by,
just telling Dick in the.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
First you're gonna love it.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Well. I drove by the stand I love it. Scared
the hell out of me. I mean, the place is
freaking enormous.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
So what is the atmosphere with this white out going
to be like for those of us that are here
to see this in person.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
So years ago, when I was coaching for the Ravens,
Joe Paterno invited me. He and I became pals on
these Nike trips, and he invited me to the Ohio
State game, which was a white eye, and I brought
my three sons and we were on the field, and
I mean, you are going to feel an electricity tomorrow
night that is unique to college football. Obviously, Husky Stadium
(11:58):
gets like that when you know to key plays or
what have you. We've heard all we have the magic
in Seattle as well. But this is going to be fun.
And you're going to sing a bon Jobie song tomorrow
night like louder than you've ever sang it, and it's
going to be like, Okay, this is cool. But I
think the Huskies are up to the challenge. And by
the way, while in town, you got to go get
(12:18):
a little ice cream from the creamery tomorrow and get
a little Peachy Paternal.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
All right, Peach Paternal. They still have that on the menu.
Huh interesting, okay, Bill on the menu.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
Absolutely well, so.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Rick, when you're in the locker room going into a
house of horrors like that, you know, a night game,
wide out, massive amount of people. I mean, is it
a different conversation that you have with your team than
when you just have a typical twelve thirty start against
anybody else.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
It's you don't have to do anything to get your
team in a spirit to play. The emotion and the
uh andrenaline will be pumping. So now it's about a calmness.
And if you think about Washington on the road in
this first year in the Big Ten, whether it be
the Rutgers game or the two early games in the
(13:10):
Indiana and Iowa, they started well, but they haven't finished.
So right now it's got to be a situation where
they go out and just play within themselves. Because when
they've done that against USC and or Michigan, they played beautifully.
And to me, that's what can happen tomorrow night. This
is a fourth try on the road, on the long trip.
(13:31):
It's a big venue. You're gonna love playing here. Now,
just enjoy it, but play within yourself. And just as
Steve Belichick will have said a million times after his father,
just do your job.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, absolutely, well, Rick new Heisl's with us courtesy a
Taco time. So what is Steve Belichick going to tell
us guys about the job in defending this Tyler Warren kid.
He had seventeen catches against usc Udub's got fifty five
catches from their leading receiver, Rick and Joles Jackson. This
guy's got fifty one from the end spots. So put
your old defensive hat on if you ever wore that
(14:03):
back in the day, and tell me what Steve Belichick
should do to slow this kid down.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
I said this at halftime of that SC game. I said,
you better find Warren or he's scoring. And the very
first drive in the second half, he lines up at
center and caught a touchdown pass. I mean, honest to goodness,
they had a formation and Andy Kotalnikki, who's their offensive coordinator,
came over from Kansas, has been a breath of fresh air.
(14:28):
Minus the game where they kind of reverted back and
were a little pedestrian against Ohio State, he has found
ways to get Tyler Warren the ball. So obviously Steve Belichick,
who comes from that Belichickian principle of takeaway what they
do best, there will be a plan for forty four.
You better know where he is on every down.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Speaking of Belichick, I may just be being a Husky
homer here, but I think the Husky defense and coordinator
Steve Belichick have been a couple of the greatest secrets
in college football this year.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Would you agree with that?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Rick?
Speaker 8 (15:01):
As a matter of fact, we had Jed Fish on
our program on full ride on serious XM, and I
asked him, does Steve is he liking college football? And
he said, you know, he brings his kids out to practice,
which was never allowed, you know, with his dad being
the coach, and Jed was obviously on that staff as well.
(15:21):
But he brings his kid out and the kids can
race the players and you know, get to know the players.
And he's kind of falling for this college game in
this college atmosphere. And it wouldn't be surprising that, you know,
he says, I want to do this. I want to
raise my kids in this kind of environment. No guarantee
in that regard, but Jed seemed optimistic that there was
a chance he would be around for a while.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Well, I think a lot of Husky fan I don't
know if there's ever been a time in history, Rick,
where Husky fans are keeping an eye on what's happening
at Florida right and for obvious reasons. I mean, you
got a guy in Jed Fishue went to Florida Where's
the Visor as a tribute to Steve Spurrier. And then
it was just kind out yesterday that Billy Napier is
not going anywhere. Now here's the thing I saw this
statement from like the ad and it just said he's
(16:05):
not going anywhere.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Well when next year, end of this year, because we've
seen plenty.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Of people come out and make statements like that and
then all of a sudden they get whack. So I've
heard that Florida has approved the regents have approved this
buyout if they do want to go down that road,
which is twenty five million. But do we think that
Billy Napier is locked and loaded for twenty twenty.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
Five I think the fact that he said this before
they head into this gauntlet of the next few weeks
where they have Texas this week, I think Florida. Who
in Texas, it's Ole miss and then it's Florida State
still left on the schedule, so they've got they've got,
(16:46):
you know, a haunted house of a schedule. I think
he said this just so that he protects Billy Napier.
I don't think they want to pay the buyout. I
think they want to do exactly and finish the season.
The fact that they played so hard against Georgie and
had a chance to win before Lagway got hurt, I
think sealed the deal. And I think he just wanted
to put the rest all the thoughts about doing anything.
(17:09):
Lane Kiffin had been the number one guy that's Florida
fans for targeting. I know Jed's going to be in
that conversation, especially if they finish as well as Husky
fans hope they do. But the bottom line is, I
believe that Jed's going to be in Seattle for the
foreseeable future.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Rick, we got to see firsthand why USC fans are
clamoring at Lincoln Riley right now. I mean, what did
you think of him benching Miller Moss? I mean, it
wasn't Moss that decided to throw at thirty of the
first thirty nine plays instead of running Woody Marks down
our throw?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What did you think of that call by Riley?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
And now he's in the portal, by the way, Moss.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Yeah, it's an amazing thing that Lincoln Riley. And by
the way, it runs in the family. Garrett Riley, the
offensive coordinator at Clemson, had Cad Klubnick throw at fifty
plus times as well. When Phil Maffa literally has thirty
carries for one hundred and seventy yards, I mean, why
are you not continuing to run the ball and Woody
(18:08):
marks for USC is averaging five point seven per carry
and has over eight hundred yards rushing, but they won't
hand it off. It is a confusing thing. I don't
know if there's you know, a deal made with these
wide receivers to get them to come down that they're
going to get these kind of touches. But Benching Moss
I understand it because they were having to use, you know,
(18:32):
extra guys to chip the defensive ends because they just
don't trust their tackles and Jade and Mayava. The transfer
for you, UNLB is a little bit more agile, But
to me, they're missing out not running the ball more.
And it'll be interesting to see if if that'll become
part of Lincoln Riley's plan going forward.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
With my own, well, I gotta be honest with I
think if they run the ball in both haves, I
think we lose last weekend against US. That guy was
the best back, I mean, maybe even better than Kaden Johnson.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
He came john.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Fantastic, He had a monster game against Penn State, and
yet they wouldn't run him. It just does it's confounding.
Given I mean they're ahead of if they're like eighty
something in the country and rushing and you have to
go all the way up into the thirties to find
somebody who's rushing for more yards per Karl.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Well, here's why I love this twelfth team playoff.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Rick, and people said it's going to ruin the regular season,
and I always thought, Nope, you're wrong, it's going to
enhance it because we got there's a couple of games
this weekend, including Georgia and ole Miss where if ole
Miss has any shot, they have to win out Alabama
and LSU Alabama has any shot, they got to win
out win in the hell have we ever in November
given a damn about what a two loss team is
(19:47):
doing on Saturday, and now we.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Care because of the twelve team playoff.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Man, isn't this exactly what the twelfth team playoff was
meant to do.
Speaker 8 (19:56):
It's the greatest thing we've ever done. And I'll say
it again. We have those playoff games on December twentieth
on a Friday night, and then the three games on
December twenty first. On that Saturday, We're going to sit
and see those home stadiums rocking. Hopefully some really good
competitive games that go into the fourth Cortern, We're going
to ask ourselves why have we been doing this forever?
(20:17):
Because college football always delivers. And I couldn't agree with
you more after that CFT came out the other night.
The top seventeen teams all can win out and get
to the playoff. And that's seventeen fan bases, including ones
that Iowa State and BYU and others that are sitting
there going we'd never had this kind of chance. Even
(20:38):
Colorado has a chance. The Colorado Texas Tech game this
weekend is a monumental one for both those teams because
the winner of the Big Twelve gets in and they
both still have a chance.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Rick, you mentioned BYU the Holy War is opposite of
what we thought it was going to be. We thought
it was going to be BYU trying to knock Utah
out of the playoff race, and instead it's the op said,
it's Utah trying to knock BYU out of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Can they do it?
Speaker 8 (21:05):
You know, I just you know, I think Kyle Whittingham
is one of the best out there. He's so consistent.
But it has been ridiculous how pedestrian that they've been
offensively without Sam Rising and while this kid that's playing
quarterback is a good player. He just isn't consistent enough,
so I think, and it's like a three or four
(21:27):
point line. It's shocking to me, but that was the
case when Byu went back to play UCF as well.
They got no respect. So give me the Cougars. I'll
lay whatever the number is and I take Byu. Klaniocky
is the heck of a coach.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
No doubt. Hey, who do you like in that Georgia
Old Miss game?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
George is coming off not playing so good a week.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
I'm taking Georgia, even though Carson Beck has been an
accident waiting to happen and uh, and obviously Ole Miss
coming off a great performance at Arkansas. I just think
that for neetic defense and Kirby Smart will give them
another They don't they don't respect your speech, even though
everybody in the country thinks they're one of the best teams.
(22:07):
It will be, Uh, it'll be a wild scene, but
I'm gonna take Georgia in that game.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Who is the best team in the country right now?
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Oregon. Oregon is the best team in the country because
they have the most capable quarterback in terms of handling
all the situations. H he's very, very, you know, efficient diligence.
I think he's a coach's best friend. And as long
as they stay competent in both offense and defensive lines,
they're the best team right now.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
All right, Well, you got back in the win column
a week ago, my friend with Minnesota Illinois two. That's right,
two out of three, or I think it's two out
of three. You know, what, the hell with it, We'll
give it to you anyway, two out of three. It
is two out of three Cincinnati. Minnesota lost with Arkansas,
but two and one the last three games, two and
(22:56):
two the last four. Uh, let's make it three out
of four, and let's get this done here.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Who do you like tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (23:05):
I'd love Washington tomorrow night, but I'm not jinxing our Huskies.
I love getting thirteen. I love getting thirteen and a half.
I think they especially since it's not an early game,
they'll be ready. They're gonna be jazz to play in
this environment. And Will Rodgers is a capable guy. But
I'm gonna take Alabama and baton rouge. I think they're
(23:27):
a two and a half point pick. Listen, that situation
in LSU is much like the one we talked about
at USC. They throw the ball too much and Garrett
Nusmeyer is prone to throw it to the other team.
I think that LSU is the last place team in
rushing the football, and the SEC will come back to
haunt them, even though they've got a home field advantage.
(23:49):
I'm going to take Milroe and company to get it
done in the Bayou.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Hey, By the way, before you go on that, what
happened to Jaln Milroe? I mean I saw him play
a couple of weeks ago and he just looks awful
throwing the football.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
Yeah, I don't know what has happened, but they've had
a bye week and hopefully they get back to what
they showed in that first half against Georgia. It's going
to be a scene in Baton Rouge. It's a playoff game.
Both teams have a chance to make it. Alabama was
ranked eleventh in the first TFP. They can bolster that,
and they've got Mercer in Auburn and one other down
(24:26):
the stretch, maybe Mississippi State. That to me gives them
a great chance to finish strong. I'm going to take
role Tiders in this all right, I.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Love it, all right, enjoy it. We'll talk in a week. Man,
appreciate this coach, coach.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Hey, enjoy happy valley, my friend.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Hey, hang onut a second, Hey, hang on, hey, let's
hear it for Rick New highs from everybody. They love
your coach, They still love your coach, still love you, alright.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Man, tell them to enjoy.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Go dogs, go dogs.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
All right, let's get to at Factor fiction right now.
Brought to by the Emeral Queen.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Where's that to go?
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Glad you're with us?
Speaker 9 (25:04):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, brought to
you by the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of
the Northwest. Make the beautiful new EQC Sportsbookie your home
all football season long. Fact Door Fiction is on Sports
(25:25):
Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
All Right, Dick probably figured this out.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
There's a reason why I stuck in a question about
that Georgia Ole Miss game.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Oh, I got it for coach, all right, and.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I totally agree with him. I mean I saw this
line and I was actually a little bit surprised. And
you mentioned earlier how you like to jump on teams
that are coming off tough losses or maybe tough performances.
And I think we all agreed Georgia did not play
well versus Florida a week ago, and they're going.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Do Ole Miss this weekend to take on Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And maybe, just maybe, because you asked Rick who the
best team in the country was, somebody could maybe make
the argument for Georgia. Certainly, maybe they are the best
team in the country. And they're given two and a half,
they're gonna win by three at Ole Miss coming off
that game that you know Kirby Smart ripped their ass
last week after that floor Absolutely Kirby Smart versus Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Or would you see how did you see how piss
Kirby was in the press conference when they ask him
about as visor.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
No, what I just shot? He's just shot him down.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
He's like, sorry, I don't waste time on which visor
I pick, Like he is so dead on focus this week.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I love it. Well, let's take Georgia the hell with it.
Given two and a half at Ole Miss. Rick likes him,
and so do I. I mean, we're sitting here pick
number twenty. There's not much left in the tank and
I saw that game, and I'm actually shocked that nobody's
taking it yet. So Bulldogs laying the two and a
half dick against Ole Miss is the game. You agree,
it's fact, you hate it, it's fiction. To four nine
four five one right now, all brought to you by
(26:48):
the emeral Queen Casino.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I think they're a better team if I'm taking a
quarterback at the next level, I'm certainly taking Old Missus
quarterback over George's quarterback. But you don't just win with quarterbacks,
you win with the rest of the team as well.
And you know, this Ole Miss team has had problems
against good team scoring points. They scored plenty of points
when they play Georgia Southern and Furman and Middle Tennessee,
(27:09):
but when they played what the Hell's When they played
Kentucky they scored seventeen. Yeah, when they played Oklahoma, they
scored twenty six. When they played LSU, they took them
to overtime and so scored only twenty six. So yeah,
this Georgia team should be able to hold Little Miss
right around twenty to twenty four, and that should be
enough for Georgia to cover.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well, I'll tell you what we are.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
We are about a week away from just closing our
eyes and just pointing at the scoreboard to pick a
game in factor fiction. Okay, so let's hopefully we can
make at least ourselves kind of maybe a little bit
of redemption this week with our selections. Georgia minus the
points is the pick Factor fiction to four nine, four
to five one. Right now, I'll brought you by the
(27:52):
emeral Queen. We are at Penn State for the game tomorrow.
Pregame from the stadium starts at one, kickoff at five

Speaker 2 (28:58):
We gotta make the let change for this weekend. I

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Than Paramount Sports leasterly did tell you. All right, guys,

nights and cracking, don't you know coming up at six
thirty pre game seven o'clock face off right here on
ninety three three KJRFM. Here he is joining us right
in the right now on the radio show twenty seven,
(29:26):
twenty two and one on the air two and three
last week. But that's okay, still well over five hundred.
Our friend from Paramount Sports, Lee Sterling, how are.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
You, man, I'm good. Gonna have to get you down
here to So four to see the Stanley Cup champions
one day.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Yeah no, that's okay. Why not because I don't give
a date with you.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I don't know what you can You can go to
the beach and ten minutes away you were in a
hockey game.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I I don't think anybody in Florida cares about the Panthers,
let alone me going down.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
Come on, come on, I joked on board list.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah yeah, sure you did. Ah, you did jump on board.
All right.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Hey, let's get to it. Indiana and Michigan. Let's start
there in Bloomington, Man, the Hoosiers. How many times have
the Hoosiers and Wolverines guys played a game where Indiana
is giving fourteen and.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
A half against Michigan. That is nuts.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Might have been when Lee Corso with coaching Indiana. I
mean it's crazy. They were down ten to nothing and
then all of a sudden a forty zero run. They
won ninth straight. They covered eight straight. That one of
the games was no line. I just don't think Michigan
has the offense twelve points against Texas, seven against Illinois.
(30:40):
I thought they played well last week against Oregon. It
can only muster seventeen points. I think they're played out here.
I'm not getting in front of the Indiana choo Choo
Indiana Hoosiers thirty four to thirteen.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
All right, you mentioned the Ducks there.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
They're twenty three and a half point favorites at Audson
against Maryland making the long trip west YEP.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
When Maryland played Indiana and lost forty two to twenty eight,
Indiana was ranked. Now they're ranked. When Maryland played Minnesota
and lost forty eight to twenty three, Minnesota wasn't ranked.
Oregon ranked number one in the country, as we all know,
been near that high all season, scoring in the forties.
(31:23):
It seems like on everyone the Ducks appear to be
getting better by the week, even they are telling you
they're gelling. Maryland has allowed forty two and forty eight
points to Indiana in Minnesota and allowed six point eight
and seven yards per snap. Oregon should get at least
as much Ducks forty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
All right, take the Ducks. Give the points Penn State
ub tomorrow. Looking forward, to it. I'm not sure if
I'm looking forward to the actual ending of the game,
but looking forward to the spectacle for sure. I think
the Huskis will play them tough. What do you think
Penn State's given thirteen and a half?
Speaker 7 (31:57):
I do too. You know this saw sense for Penn State.
Nothing special, no home run hitters at wide receiver, running
backs are pretty good, but the quarterback, I mean, nothing special.
And they had some really good play calling when they
played USC But the game last week, just near the
goal line, that was atrocious. First in goal to three.
They could not get it done. I think they're down.
(32:20):
I just think that you got to get on quick.
Can't have a slow start like the last couple of
games they've played on the road. I think Penn State
wins the game here twenty seven to twenty three, but
I think Washington's gonna hand close.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I heard a lot of people talk about this one.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
San Francisco got home against Tampa and they're wondering why
San Francisco is less than a full touchdown favorite. They're
given six and a half, and they got Christian McCaffrey
coming back, and they're off a bye week.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
I don't get it. I mean, yeah, maybe it's been
because they've been outscored seventy one to forty four in
the fourth quarter, but they're rested. The Buccaneers, playing for
the tenth straight week, have also one less data prepare
having played the Chiefs and then traveling back. McCaffrey should
go at least sixty seventy percent as long as he
(33:07):
doesn't get hurt here. So I think they're gonna They're
gonna finish strong here. San Francisco thirty to twenty one.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Okay, how about the Rams in Miami, your Dolphins, man,
The Rams are all of a sudden, the Rams.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Are good, all of a sudden. Everyone loves the Rams.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
All of a sudden, the Rams aren't trading Cooper Cup
and they aren't trading Matt Stafford, and they're given one
at home against Miami.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
Well, obviously, you know the pick six was the game.
That was the difference in that game. So that looks
like they get everyone back and when they have their
full compliment. They got Stafford, Williams, all the top receivers.
I think they're a top five offense. So against this
vaunted Vikings defense, the Rams generated three hundred and eighty
six yards on five point eight yards per play, with
(33:50):
twenty six first downs, no sacks allowed in just one turnover.
I think Miami's much better now. The two is back.
They went from averaging ten to averaging twenty seven points
a game. But it's probably enough. They're missing their right tackle,
couple guys in the secondary. I think the Rams pull
it out thirty one twenty seven, and I don't understand
the line. It's going down to one point.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Yeah, got you all right?
Speaker 3 (34:12):
You got some up your sleeve on this Wazoo Utah
State game, don't you.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
Yep? First five callers get it for free. Call eight
hundred four hundred nine seven one. First five callers, it's

Speaker 2 (34:42):

another pick.

of nowhere, out of the blue, like we're sitting here

Speaker 4 (34:58):
