Speaker 2 (00:45):
Pack Clumb Championship.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
You know, I think that might be. I'm just gonna say, Mike,
because I gotta think about it. My favorite Husky play
of all time is Dylan Johnson's run to beat Oregon
in the back crom Championship. I mean, Elijah's up there.
There's some plays and some bowl games that are up there.
But I gotta I if I'm doing a list of
my all time favorite Husky plays. I think Dylan Johnson's
(01:09):
run is top five for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Well, I think both those plays we just played top
I mean, what have won our bracket last summer?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The miskick by the Ducks in Week six.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
But joining us right now on the radio show one
half of the Conzato and Wilner podcast. We got the
other half coming up at five o'clock. The other half
is here with us right now on the radio show.
It's uh, well it's not Duck week, but it's uh
it's Duck fortnite fortnite.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
There you go. Good way to put it. John Gonzano
with us on the here, How are you? Thank you?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
I'm well and you got us in the right order, Canzano?
Then Wilner, So good for you.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah that should change. Let's be honest, really, I mean
he's kind of the headliner.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It doesn't roll off the tongue though, does it.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
No, it's alphabetically friendly as well. Yeah, you gotta have
the see before the duck.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
I mean, we know, to feed your ego, you gotta
go first, and that's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You know what, Hey, how do you how are you
guys feeling?
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Knowing that Tuesday the Big Ten Conference finally figured out
all the tiebreakers.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
First of going on, First of all, we'll ask the
questions here. Number one, Okay, he's a professional interviewer.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
We ask and you answer.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
And then number two, my question, John, how do you
feel about the Big Ten proclaiming that the Oregon Ducks
have already made the Big Ten championship? I mean, if
I'm Dan Lanning, I'm not sure if I want that
out eleven days before the Husky Game. I'm not saying
that Oregon's not going to be pissed off and salty
after what happened a year ago. But there's a lot
of guys on this Oregon team that were not on
(02:36):
that team a year ago, and now they all just
got told, hey, you've already clinched a spot if you're landing,
did you want that news to come out?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
I think he doesn't care. I think he'll say he
doesn't care. But here's the other thing. If the Pac
twel had done this back in the day and it
took him two and a half days to figure out
who was in the title game, they would have got roasted.
And let's just say that, first of all, Larry Scott
would have got roasted what he dick and blamed. But
if you're Dan Lanning, you spin this, you say, hey, look,
it's great, they're worry in the game, but you have
(03:06):
to defend against losing that title game against Ohio State.
If you get beat by Washington, then you lose the
title game.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
All of a sudden.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
You're not a five seed. You might be a seven seed,
you might be a six seed, you might be an
eight seed. So it's still a really meaningful game. I
love that it's got meaning to it. But the fact
that it took them two and a half days tells
us there's too many teams in this conferences. The Big
twelve's in the same boat, eighteen teams at a conference.
Nobody plays anybody. How do we know who's good?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
John?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
We don't.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
But I mean Saxe and I've talked about this for
years and years with undefeated teams. Doesn't Oregon need a
loss going into the playoffs. I think they got one
last week.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
I think Wisconsin was as close as you they had
been to maybe the Boise State week earlier in the season.
They got a couple of scares. I think it's good
to play in close games. I think it's good to
be reminded that you're not all that. And I think
they got that against Wisconsin. I think they came out
of that. I know after the Maryland game I texted
a little with Dan Lanning and he said that they
didn't play well and he knew that. And then they
(04:05):
didn't play well second week in a row. Now people
are blaming fatigue, saying eight weeks in a row, whatever,
but they may have just maybe they're.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Just not playing their best football. And so here comes
the break at the time they needed.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
And you know Washington's got it too, So there's gonna
be no bitching about who had the week off they
get to play again.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Nobody's bitching. Oregon had an extra day off last year
and we still got him in Vegas. I mean, what
do you want from me? John Gonzana with us John
who is two years ago bectually three years ago now
two years ago? Sorry, it was Chris Hudson, and then
last year in Seattle it was Terrence Ferguson. Who will
be the most likely candidate to fake an injury for
(04:44):
Dan Lanning in Eugene next Saturday.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
For two the decoordinator probably go out on.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
The field gotta be this time.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Do you think last.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Year, Harry, I'm asking questions at the conference championship game,
I thought wash Rington got better than Oregon did in
the between the first meeting and the second meeting Conference
championship game. Washington was more physical, they were different on offense.
They had they had evolved as a football team. Oregon
was the same team. And I remember being.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
On the field.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
I don't know if you were down on the field
before the game, but the Washington guys were all kinds
of fired up and very vocal and jumping around.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
The coaches were vocal, and you know, it was it was.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
It was a scene down on the Oregon side. It
was a library. It was quiet, and I don't normally
make too much of those things, but it ended up being.
That's how the game started. Washington came out through Haymakers.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Well, that's why I love that game so much.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I mean, I've told these guys, I've never been more
nervous for a Husky game than I was for that one.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
For a lot of reasons.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
You know, win the final Pack twelve championship, it's those
bastards from Eugene hold it over their head forever.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Which we can do.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Unless you dub an Oregon play in a quarter final,
they will never ever play in a bigger game than
they played last year. And look, I'm kind of you know,
I'm trying to be a little bit of an antagonist
sometimes on Twitter. You know that, And I'm asking Oregon fans,
you know, how much are you bothered by that? How
much of that is going to be a part of
the narrative for next Saturday? That Hey, the two biggest
games these guys have ever played against each other, you
(06:15):
dub got him both times. How much does that still
piss people off down there?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
It does?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
And it's sticking in Dan Lanning's craw too, because it's
not just those two games.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It's you know, where are his big wins?
Speaker 6 (06:27):
And you can say, oh, he beat Ohio State, nor
he beat a ranked UCLA team two years ago, but
you know, he lost the Civil War when it mattered
in that first season chance to go to the conference
championship game got knocked out. And then he lost the
game at Washington. I thought Oregon played better and outplayed Washington,
but he made a bunch of weird coaching decisions.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Washington won the game.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Then they meet it again in that conference championship game,
and Washington was better. That was good coaching by Kaylen
de Bori's team got better. Dan Lanning's team didn't. And
so it's got to be sticking in his craw and
he's got to be thinking about it. And if there's
a you know, intangible advantage in this game coming up,
it's that it's that there's some pressure on Dan Lanning
that probably doesn't exist in the in the rest of
(07:10):
the world had he won one of those games, but
he hasn't. And you know, and what's that stake now
is big because they lose that one and then they
go to the conference championship game, and they lose the
conference championship game. Let's say, wellho State gets them all
of a sudden, that perfect season is in jeopardy and
they're wobbling a little bit.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, John, it's interesting that you say that Washington got
better between the two matchups, because you wouldn't have known
by watching Washington. They barely got by Oregon State, they
barely got by Wazoo. Meanwhile, Dan Lanning was kicking the
crap out of the Beafs in the in Arizona State.
The two weeks before they get so I have no
idea how Washington got better that day because they look
(07:49):
like crap for the most part the two weeks coming in.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Maybe it was that those two teams, just like Ohio
State and Oregon this year, maybe those two teams knew, Hey,
it's gonna be us in them, it's gonna be us
in them. Oregon seemed to come out of that meeting.
I don't know what you guys think, but they seem
to come out of that first meeting angry. They played
angry for a few weeks, right, and Washington kind of
came out and maybe thought, hey we're you know, look
at us, We're in the driver's seat. But they found
(08:12):
way to win, ways to win games. And it reminded
me like Oregon found a way against Wisconsin a week ago.
It reminded me of kind of like the Washington game
against Arizona State last year. That's a good team with
a really good quarterback who just, you know, decided hey,
we're gonna win this game, even if we're gonna win ugly.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah. I remember everybody, a lot of people, including you,
thinking that Oregon, man, they're a machine. They're just steamrolling people,
they've this is a different team than we saw in
Week six, and they're gonna murder you, dub, and then
it didn't happen like that. I mean, look, I mean
Vegas agreed with you, for God's sakes, because the dogs
were like what ten point dogs or whatever they were
in that game in Vegas. But John Canzino's with us,
(08:50):
and John I got a buddy of mine who likes
to refer to Dan Lanning as dumb blank Dan.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And you know what the blank is, all right?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Rhymes was set all right, So just add the eighth
if you know what I'm talking about. Because he's like,
we're gonna win because dumb blank Dan's gonna do something
stupid again like he always does. And I'm watching that
Wisconsin game, that fake field goal by the way late
in the fourth quarter, I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Oh my god, he did it again.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
All the time Wisconsin's getting the ball back and all
it takes is one guy to fall down and you know,
maybe give up a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Can can Husky fans rely on any of that?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
You think next Saturday or is he matured because it
didn't seem like he did against Wisconsin.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
He did wisconsint a favor, and he did Washington several
favors in that first matchup, right, And I think he
is prone to doing that. He's he is a guy
who is gonna recruit Edgy, He's gonna coach Edgy.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
He says he believes in his team and that's why
he's doing it.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
But I step back at twenty thousand feet and I'm going,
how does that?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You know?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
And by the way, if you're gonna do if you're
going for it on fourth down, put the ball in
Dylan Gabriel's hands. Don't put the ball in your punter's
hands and tell him to run five yards for a
first down. I hated the call, and I get why
he did it. He said, Hey, the game ends if
we get the first down. Okay, cool, just snap the
ball and let your quarterback do it. I think Oregon
has got to play this game like, knowing that they
(10:10):
are the favorite.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Play it straight, kick, take the points when the points
are there.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
I think Oregon's gonna beat Washington. I think it's you know,
we all expect that they're gonna be a huge they're
a huge favorite in that game.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
But you can't do the other side.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Face it favors by trying to on sidekick or fake
punt or fake don't act like you're the double digit underdog.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
That's what Jedfish should be doing.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Right ken the Husky's taking a thing scheme wise from
what Wisconsin did defensively, because that's been the strength of
Washington team's Washington's team all year. They have a better
defense this year than they did last year.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
When there's no tes Johnson on the field, Oregon's not
the same on offense. But the problem I think Washington
has is at the at the line of scrimmage. I
think Oregon is physically imposing. They've run the football well
against teams that you know, look like Washington. I think
there's a little bit of a problem there. But you
want Oregon without Tesz Johnson. I think at some point
(11:01):
he comes back and he's healthy, but maybe not for
that game. And if Oregon's smart, they would hold him
out and say, look, we want him for the conference
championship game or we want him for the playoff. But
so I think Washington's hope is not to see Tedz
Johnson on the field because he is their best receiver.
He makes everybody else better on that team. They're just
a better passing team with him on the field. But
(11:21):
Oregon's going to try to run the ball. Anybody who
saw the Iowa game, anybody who saw Washington play the
games where they got beat, knows that you beat Washington
by pushing him around.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
John Gonzano with us on the radio show Oregon, you
dub in eleven days from now? You think it matters
if Demon Williams or will Rogers place for you, dub.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I would hate to put a freshman in Austin Stadium
with sixty thousand people screaming for his spleen. And so
I kind of think Jedfish playing this game is more
like he knows he's going to start Rogers and maybe
plays them both. But I don't know, what would you do.
You've watched those guys all year. Could would that be
a problem the environment? Would that be a problem for
(11:59):
a young kids?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Bet both of us we starting number two. Yeah, he's
so much.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Better, Then start the better quarterback.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
I mean, I watched the Apple Cup and it kind
of sealed it from me, and I was like, that's
the best he's got. Like I just wasn't blown away
in the Apple Cup, And I thought, you know, if
that's the best you have in your jed fish, then
it's not gonna be a good season. And and that
hurt Washington all year.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Is Jabar Mohammad the trader doing well for Oregon? How's
he's he's still traders in this sea. He's a mercenary.
He's on his third team in three years. John, he's
your guy. When he's your guy, he was not a
he's not a mercenary.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
But I you know, if he has a pick six
and he gives a you know, Washington signal down as
he's running the length of ots and field, then maybe
you call it differently. But I don't blame these guys.
They're just they're they're doing with the world that you know,
they're living in this world that was created by the
NC double A and a bunch of irresponsibility.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I love it. Hey, you're the man. Great to hear
your voice.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Uh. We'll talk to the other half of your podcast
at five. I know you got a run, man, appreciate it,
and we'll talk down the road. Body, all right, take care, guys,
All right, John Gonzano with us on the radio show.
I think the Huskies will cover the twenty uh.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Next Saturday. Who's the quarterback I think Demon William's gonna start.
I would take if you Rogers were starting, I would
take Oregon. Demand the leading starting I take. I would
take the I would take the Huskies in the twenty
no matter what

games these guys have ever played against each other, you
(06:15):
dub got him both times. How much does that still
piss people off down there?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
It does?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
And it's sticking in Dan Lanning's craw too, because it's
not just those two games.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It's you know, where are his big wins?
Speaker 6 (06:27):
And you can say, oh, he beat Ohio State, nor
he beat a ranked UCLA team two years ago, but
you know, he lost the Civil War when it mattered
in that first season chance to go to the conference
championship game got knocked out. And then he lost the
game at Washington. I thought Oregon played better and outplayed Washington,
but he made a bunch of weird coaching decisions.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Washington won the game.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Then they meet it again in that conference championship game,
and Washington was better. That was good coaching by Kaylen
de Bori's team got better. Dan Lanning's team didn't. And
so it's got to be sticking in his craw and
he's got to be thinking about it. And if there's
a you know, intangible advantage in this game coming up,
it's that it's that there's some pressure on Dan Lanning
that probably doesn't exist in the in the rest of
(07:10):
the world had he won one of those games, but
he hasn't. And you know, and what's that stake now
is big because they lose that one and then they
go to the conference championship game, and they lose the
conference championship game. Let's say, wellho State gets them all
of a sudden, that perfect season is in jeopardy and
they're wobbling a little bit.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, John, it's interesting that you say that Washington got
better between the two matchups, because you wouldn't have known
by watching Washington. They barely got by Oregon State, they
barely got by Wazoo. Meanwhile, Dan Lanning was kicking the
crap out of the Beafs in the in Arizona State.
The two weeks before they get so I have no
idea how Washington got better that day because they look
(07:49):
like crap for the most part the two weeks coming in.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Maybe it was that those two teams, just like Ohio
State and Oregon this year, maybe those two teams knew, Hey,
it's gonna be us in them, it's gonna be us
in them. Oregon seemed to come out of that meeting.
I don't know what you guys think, but they seem
to come out of that first meeting angry. They played
angry for a few weeks, right, and Washington kind of
came out and maybe thought, hey we're you know, look
at us, We're in the driver's seat. But they found
(08:12):
way to win, ways to win games. And it reminded
me like Oregon found a way against Wisconsin a week ago.
It reminded me of kind of like the Washington game
against Arizona State last year. That's a good team with
a really good quarterback who just, you know, decided hey,
we're gonna win this game, even if we're gonna win ugly.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah. I remember everybody, a lot of people, including you,
thinking that Oregon, man, they're a machine. They're just steamrolling people,
they've this is a different team than we saw in
Week six, and they're gonna murder you, dub, and then
it didn't happen like that. I mean, look, I mean
Vegas agreed with you, for God's sakes, because the dogs
were like what ten point dogs or whatever they were
in that game in Vegas. But John Canzino's with us,
(08:50):
and John I got a buddy of mine who likes
to refer to Dan Lanning as dumb blank Dan.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And you know what the blank is, all right?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Rhymes was set all right, So just add the eighth
if you know what I'm talking about. Because he's like,
we're gonna win because dumb blank Dan's gonna do something
stupid again like he always does. And I'm watching that
Wisconsin game, that fake field goal by the way late
in the fourth quarter, I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Oh my god, he did it again.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
All the time Wisconsin's getting the ball back and all
it takes is one guy to fall down and you know,
maybe give up a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Can can Husky fans rely on any of that?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
You think next Saturday or is he matured because it
didn't seem like he did against Wisconsin.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
He did wisconsint a favor, and he did Washington several
favors in that first matchup, right, And I think he
is prone to doing that. He's he is a guy
who is gonna recruit Edgy, He's gonna coach Edgy.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
He says he believes in his team and that's why
he's doing it.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
But I step back at twenty thousand feet and I'm going,
how does that?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You know?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
And by the way, if you're gonna do if you're
going for it on fourth down, put the ball in
Dylan Gabriel's hands. Don't put the ball in your punter's
hands and tell him to run five yards for a
first down. I hated the call, and I get why
he did it. He said, Hey, the game ends if
we get the first down. Okay, cool, just snap the
ball and let your quarterback do it. I think Oregon
has got to play this game like, knowing that they
(10:10):
are the favorite.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Play it straight, kick, take the points when the points
are there.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
I think Oregon's gonna beat Washington. I think it's you know,
we all expect that they're gonna be a huge they're
a huge favorite in that game.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
But you can't do the other side.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Face it favors by trying to on sidekick or fake
punt or fake don't act like you're the double digit underdog.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
That's what Jedfish should be doing.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Right ken the Husky's taking a thing scheme wise from
what Wisconsin did defensively, because that's been the strength of
Washington team's Washington's team all year. They have a better
defense this year than they did last year.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
When there's no tes Johnson on the field, Oregon's not
the same on offense. But the problem I think Washington
has is at the at the line of scrimmage. I
think Oregon is physically imposing. They've run the football well
against teams that you know, look like Washington. I think
there's a little bit of a problem there. But you
want Oregon without Tesz Johnson. I think at some point
(11:01):
he comes back and he's healthy, but maybe not for
that game. And if Oregon's smart, they would hold him
out and say, look, we want him for the conference
championship game or we want him for the playoff. But
so I think Washington's hope is not to see Tedz
Johnson on the field because he is their best receiver.
He makes everybody else better on that team. They're just
a better passing team with him on the field. But
(11:21):
Oregon's going to try to run the ball. Anybody who
saw the Iowa game, anybody who saw Washington play the
games where they got beat, knows that you beat Washington
by pushing him around.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
John Gonzano with us on the radio show Oregon, you
dub in eleven days from now? You think it matters
if Demon Williams or will Rogers place for you, dub.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I would hate to put a freshman in Austin Stadium
with sixty thousand people screaming for his spleen. And so
I kind of think Jedfish playing this game is more
like he knows he's going to start Rogers and maybe
plays them both. But I don't know, what would you do.
You've watched those guys all year. Could would that be
a problem the environment? Would that be a problem for
(11:59):
a young kids?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Bet both of us we starting number two. Yeah, he's
so much.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Better, Then start the better quarterback.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
I mean, I watched the Apple Cup and it kind
of sealed it from me, and I was like, that's
the best he's got. Like I just wasn't blown away
in the Apple Cup, And I thought, you know, if
that's the best you have in your jed fish, then
it's not gonna be a good season. And and that
hurt Washington all year.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Is Jabar Mohammad the trader doing well for Oregon? How's
he's he's still traders in this sea. He's a mercenary.
He's on his third team in three years. John, he's
your guy. When he's your guy, he was not a
he's not a mercenary.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
But I you know, if he has a pick six
and he gives a you know, Washington signal down as
he's running the length of ots and field, then maybe
you call it differently. But I don't blame these guys.
They're just they're they're doing with the world that you know,
they're living in this world that was created by the
NC double A and a bunch of irresponsibility.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I love it. Hey, you're the man. Great to hear
your voice.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Uh. We'll talk to the other half of your podcast
at five. I know you got a run, man, appreciate it,
and we'll talk down the road. Body, all right, take care, guys,
All right, John Gonzano with us on the radio show.
I think the Huskies will cover the twenty uh.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Next Saturday. Who's the quarterback I think Demon William's gonna start.
I would take if you Rogers were starting, I would
take Oregon. Demand the leading starting I take. I would
take the I would take the Huskies in the twenty
no matter what
