Top twenty five came out Ohio State, Penn State, LSU, Oregon, Miami, Georgia.
In there. Can we check and see where South Florida is,
because when I mentioned this this morning, that is South
(02:34):
Florida in the top ten. The looks that I got
back from everybody was like, what, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
South Florida in two different poles. They are twenty third
in one pole, in ranked number eighteenth in another.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
What is wrong with these voters? You beat Boise State
and beat Florida?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Is that the problem?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
My bowls? They got it wrong my bowl? Yes, I
South Florida Bulls. By the way, I know that you
think I lead this great life, and sometimes I do.
Last night I was watching the BYU Stanford re Air
Reir Yeah, yeah, BYU's got a quarterback is numbers forty seven,
(03:16):
and I go, all right, Andrew Luck on the sidelines
and this kid's I think a true freshman and it
looked okay, Look, you know it's fun it's interesting to
see a quarterback were number forty seven? Yes, Paul, I'm
going to back.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
You on this.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
You are not desperate and alone watching football. You are
watching football because you can't watch all the games on Saturdays.
And the rears are kind of fun to learn about teams. Yeah,
and especially for if you're a voter or a Heisman voter,
you should be well versed.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I think this guy is his first name is Bear Awesome. Yeah,
but number forty seven, yes, Ton.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
But isn't there something to be said about taking one
or two days off, especially these next three months.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
We got to pace ourselves.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
If you're gonna use Tuesday under Wednesday though rewatch games
or watch games that you happen to miss, then you're
gona have no break.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Ever, it's going to be seven days a week. As
much as we love.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Sports, sometimes you need a little family time or take
a nap or something.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
This is This is called homework. It's called.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
We're gonna talk a lot of BYU football today.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I didn't see it. I just you know, maybe we
talk Andrew Luck in Stanford and they didn't look good,
so maybe Frank Reich isn't the head coach there. Next year.
Maybe Andrew luck Is. I don't know, Todd, those are
valid topics, thank you, yes, yeah, But I was just
you know, going through and all of a sudden, I go, okay,
I'm gonna watch a little bit of b YU. There
(04:36):
nothing wrong with that, Todd. You can't watch Ohio State
every weekend.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I know.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I was just concerned for you to have a little break,
you know, the time with the wife or whatever. You know,
a day or two where you're like, no football because
the other five days we're going to be swimming in Well.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Thank you, thank you, thank you for worrying about my
social life at home.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Got for a nice dinner, you know, light a candle,
intimacy or whatever. Don't worry about the be Why you
re aired light a candle? Is that the mood didn't
a lights? Whatever you guys do, it's none of my business.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Maybe I was setting the mood with BYU against.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
BYO.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm about to try that sometime we are of a
college football game. See what I get?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
What I'm doing some far as work.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Yeah, but the South Florida thing is kind of semi real.
If they can beat Miami this weekend, they become the
lovable team. Like you know Arizona State last year, SMU
last year.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Or Boise State.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They could be a top ten team if they beat
Miami their top ten team? Is that? Okay everybody? Okay,
I'm in early on.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
They won't get top ten. They won't crack the top
ten by if they beat Miami. They I'm not saying
they shouldn't. I'm saying they won't. They people like to
tiptoe for a lovable new team to be the top ten.
If they beat Miami, they're looking at a nice fourteen spot.
And that's fantastic in September. Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Agreat because we don't even know if Miami is real. Yeah,
they beat Notre Dame.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
Well you don't know that Notre Dame is real.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, that's true. They're ranked higher than South Florida and
they haven't won a game yet. These polls are always weird.
That's why you know that first poll that should come
out should come out in October because we and we
do this all the time. The preseason where we ranked somebody.
Remember when North Carolina was the number one team in
America pre season for basketball, they didn't make the tournament. Okay,
(06:25):
North Carolina. They didn't play well, but all the voters
who put North Carolina number one didn't do well either.
It's I don't know, let's just put the blue bloods
up there, and then all of a sudden they don't
perform as well as they shouldn't. Then we go, oh, man,
what happened to you guys? I don't know. Guys, are
the ones who ranked us higher than we probably should
have been? Yes, Todd, it proves the same.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You don't want to end up on the pole. There
you go. I thought that was a great line. I'm
really disappointed I and get a reaction. It's it's like
a band, It's like a jinx to be on the poll.
You don't want to be on the poll. You know,
want your kids on the pole. You don't want to
be on the poll.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
You want to be on the pole if you're a team.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah, but if they if they overrank you, and then
all of a sudden, like you just said, en up
performing well. They made us the number six team in
the country and we lost our first two games. You
don't want to end up on the pole in the beginning.
You don't want to be on the pole. Okay, pol
He said, I, it's just not funny.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I need you to slow down. Okay, I need you.
I'm being honest.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I think I may have taken the wrong medication.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Now I'm gonna blame Paulie for having eye surgery yesterday.
I heard it was wild, Yes it was.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It is his fault because I got a little loose.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You got loose, and you're still loose, and I've got it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Calm down.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And then he's, you know, singing Beatles songs right in
my face because he's mocking me. He's trolling me. Got
the Beatles sweatshirt he's talking about when he was in
high school driving around trying to pick up girls.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Wasn't just the singing.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I took my finger and I kind of pointed in
your eye and I made like a little concentric circles
in your face.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You didn't like the finger in the seat.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
There are days that I wonder if Todd's medication is balanced.
Today is one of those days, and it's not. The
telltale sign is whenever Todd is talking and he's going
really fast, but he ends up flying, his words are flying,
and then what happens is, I don't know what, he
runs out of air, and Eddie's laughing while doing that.
(08:13):
That to when you know, like, oh boy, this dude
is really on one right now.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
He's like.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
That.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And it wasn't just me who said something to you.
Marvin wanted to know if you were on drugs, and
Seaton questioned what was going on.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's a little frightening for.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Me too, because sometimes I think I'm gonna bite my
tongue off or something like that when it's not going
like really fast.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But I got to settle down a little bit, just
a long show fifty minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yes, yes, I want you to pace yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Okay, I'm getting a lot of extra sleep litly and
we're in that the seatpap thing you know for the
sleep appar air is springing your up your nose in
your mouth to make sure you don't die in your sleep.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It's a I think that's helped.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
I got overly oxygenated.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I think I think got it because all I took
was like a centrum silver.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And like a calcium pill. That wouldn't do this to me.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Yes, Marvin, well, maybe you should take a Flintstones' Kids
vitamin next time.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
The silver part of the thing, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Centrum silver.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah, for those of US fifty and above.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Okay, they put a couple extra things in the extra
zinc and copper in your bloodstream or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
She wants the whole question today.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
So glad you asked, where should South Florida be ranked?
Top ten, eleven or twenty one plus?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Who saw that coming?
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Are there bowls in South Florida?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
It's a hotbed of livestock.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
The only bowl in South Florida is Michael Jordan. Okay,
all right, given that to you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I'm not going to give you that one.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Todd had a boy kid, all right, Todd, you mess
with the bull and you get the Okay, Yeah, that's right,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Okay, I'm not just going to follow the group. I
have my own independent opinion.
Speaker 11 (09:53):
Do we do?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
We have?
Speaker 10 (09:55):
What?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Marvin?
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Sorry, you're talking about South Florida? Like they urban my
Florida Gators they beat Billy Navy or Florida Gators.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'd like the underdog. I like the little guy. Oh
so do I.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Would you say?
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Top ten? Me and Seton looked at you, like top
ten in Florida?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
I mean, I'm not exactly the gatekeeper of all college
football polls. But that seems like a stretch to this
early and okay.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
All right, all right, I think because they're they're called
South Florida that hurts them. Now it's like, where is
it South Florida. Yeah, so it it's down south bottom party.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Yeah, yes, yes, directional schools have an upward track. So
like last year, Northern Illinois takes down Notre Dame. Everyone's
in a Northern Illinois. It was a September game. It
was a big, big deal for Northern Illinois. I think
they lost the next weekend, so like it didn't even
last a week.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
But meanwhile though, then interesting part of that is that
if Florida was actually two states and there was in
North Florida and South Florida sort of like the Carolinas,
they would be fine.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
South Carolina.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
They don't get called the directional school because that's state
school is South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's a good, good call, you know.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
But if there was South Florida as a state and
North Florida as a state, nobody would judge South Florida
poorly for that.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Yes, Marta, you know what, I'm against South Florida already
because they play in Tampa.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Okay, that's not south south central?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Is it mid mid mid Florida, mid mid middle Florida.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
You just call the mid mid Florida.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Dang, I'm here to praise the bulls. You're trying to
bury him.
Speaker 9 (11:35):
That is kind of mid Florida, isn't it. What's the
cut off line? Is Orlando? The Dixon line of Florida.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Orlando is Central Florida.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yes, the Dixon Dixon line is uh. And then Tampa
is so mid mid Florida.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Tampa Tampa. It's kind of a standalone, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
A central Florida situation?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Really? Would they be better off at the University of
Tampa then they're a University of Tampa anyway, Yes, But
I think South Florida that confuses people a little bit, like, uh,
where are you?
Speaker 10 (12:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And not Miami, Tallahassee near Tallahassee. Yeah, Okay, So South Florida.
What what's the point spread for South Florida and Miami.
Now I'm really invested in this game. Now I am
Game of the Week by farm. I'm hoping is it
on the CW. Of course, the big games are on
(12:30):
the c W. I hope I get my South Florida
jersey in time to wear it by Friday.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Celebrity fans, Yeah, South Florida.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
How many celebrity fans? Who are the celebrities at South Florida? Okay?
Any other pole questions? Aside from that one seaton.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
There's going to be about thirteen more South Florida ones.
I can tell you, Okay, the South Florida Bulls. They
are a university as well, it's not a college.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
I think that's pretty good. Okay, I'm doing a deep
dive on South Florida right now.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Heck yeah, let me get to Christopher in Colorado Springs. Hey, Chris, Hey.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
Dan, Hey guys, hey, five six to fifty good, totally
fulfilling a life moment here. Let me take a little breath.
Thanks guys. So it's got to as you know, you
guys are my only football friend. It's the most amazing
(13:31):
thing we can up listening to my fellas you make
my day go by. It's great. So, Dan, let me
tell you about you once talked about how you control
the music at your dinner table. Yeah, so you know,
we did that for a long time where the wife
and I would just choose songs. But then you got
(13:51):
to where we were just playing the same songs over
and over and over again, you know, same bands. So
what I started last August was we started with the
A's and we picked an A band and every night
we pick a different A band and we listen to
all the music we can listen to. And it has
spread our music knowledge considerably.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, I'm happy for you, and thank you for calling in, Christopher.
But I control the music and I'll sprinkle in, you know,
maybe something random and uh, you know, things go well, yeah,
it goes.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
It sets the mood, you know, Yes, Marvin, what's your
go to at the dinner table?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I just usually on Spotify and I'll do it. It
could be usually it's a band like Beach Boys Radio
and then you get a playlist of a lot of
different things. Or yes, time, my song.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Is past the chicken to the left, untidy Tago book?
Is that not our audience? Is that not our generation?
Pasta duchy none, I got no, I got youth. I
believe it's something of that.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
And then past the chicken, it's like pass it down
the table because we're eating dinner.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Yeah, okay, how about we take a break. I might
have gone over some people's heads, but it shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Have PAULI do you wish you had eye surgery a second? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (15:14):
Yeah, I wish perhaps ear surgery might be more helpful.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
So mean, I don't know. There were some lines yesterday
off off air that were directed towards Paul. Right, Todd,
I can't it was done in yes, so there were
there were. By the way, South Florida is getting seventeen
(15:41):
and a half, they are ripe for an upset South
Florida against the U. All right, we'll take a break.
The NFL tweaked a rule and it's good. We'll talk
about that next Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show week day said nine am Eastern, six am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Hey, what's up everybody?
Speaker 12 (16:07):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington, and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
on Game? What is up on Game? You asked, along
with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Hutschman, Zada and Super
Bowl champion Yup. That's right, Plexico Burris. You can only
name a show with that type of talent on it.
Up on Game. We're going to be sharing our real
(16:30):
life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to Up on
Game with me LeVar Arrington, TJ. Huschman, Zada, and Plexico
Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
The NFL gave Jalen Carter a ruling, and as I expected,
as I was told he was not going to be suspended.
He already was suspended one game, missing the first game
of the season, but I thought he was going to
be fined, and it turned out to be fifty seven
thousand dollars. If he had been thrown out of the
game in the second half, then he'd probably set the
(17:08):
first half of this week's game. But he had already
you know, time served, and he got a game and
then fined fifty seven thousand dollars eight seven seven to three.
DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a
DP show. Somehow I got on a South Florida bandwagon
(17:29):
and I just wondered if they were in the top
twenty five, and I thought, you know, are they in
the top fifteen. They beat Boise State and they beat Florida,
and of course This wasn't Boise State from last year
or Urban Myers Florida Gators. Of course, this is what
Marvin said. I said, I know that it's still they
got two wins? Are they top fifteen? If they beat
(17:51):
Florida their top ten, that's all. But he came down
hard on me. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
See, I think it was to say that's they but
they should be in the top ten. I think that
was the controversial state.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
If they beat Miami there in the top ten.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
It wasn't wondering like where are they in the top
twenty five, that.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Was like they should be in the top ten.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Well, what do we have celebrities who went to South Florida.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Now you're trying to become the most famous South Florida supporter. Yes,
Tony LaRussa, the baseball.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Man and he's a genius.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Okay, Jason Pierre Paul, are you famous guy?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah? Fireworks?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Oh yeah, let's see hul Cogan attended, did not graduate RP.
There's not a lot Markswelos the honky, he's pretty famous.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
He's yeah. Yeah, he got Kelly Ripp's husband.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
He's always too good looking.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, Campobaso, Yeah, that's about it. That's it.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I think you're in good show.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I'm in there. I'm on the mount Rushmore of South
Florida supporters.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
And you considered going there, no idea.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
You're certainly the most vocal of them.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yesday have no doubt about it. I don't hear Mark
consualo with Kelly and Mark.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
To be fair, we didn't watch, but they may have
led the show with it, but I doubt it.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
So they're married and hosts the show together. Yeah, does
that seem like too much time together?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I think you need to have separation of church and state.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
It seem like they're doing fantastic too.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, and they talk about their love life all the time. Yes, Todd, I.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Don't think it's a good idea because they're gonna have
those moments.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
H I was trying to set you up and then
you Why did you say what you said back to
me on the show?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I give you an open line there. What did you
mean by that when you gave me that look in
the second?
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Yes, I think as long as you know in that
situation whose show it is and who's running things, everything's
gonna go great.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It's her show, it is one hundred.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Percent her show, and you are just there to be
the guy that I want you to be while you're
doing my show. Yeah, how's that sound? And we'll make
you know tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars
doing it. How's that sound great?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Okay, which is just like marriage. It's her show, and
I'm here to help, I'm here to support.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'm just what do I need you to do? That's
all I am.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
What do you need me to do?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah? Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
And if Michael Strahan hadn't left, it would just Marcus
Willis wouldn't even have a show at all.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So okay, Well, wasn't Ryan Seacrest in there too?
Speaker 8 (20:17):
I think a lot of people were in there. Then
they were like, all right, let's give Kelly's husband a shot.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Had a few?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, yeah, I think yes.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
But Seacrest kept saying after the break and it wasn't
time to break. There was still like another fifteen minutes
to Philly was killing them.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Okay, how do you think you'd do it today? I
think the show's going with your destroyer.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
During the commercial break, I said, Todd, slow down.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I think that's kind of funny. Imagine Ryan Seacrest saying
after the break. No, no, no, we just came back
from break. Were you throwing it to the break?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And then you were mocking Paul yesterday? What did I
say the few shots at him? A little bit.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I don't think there was anything malicious or vicious or
even remotely inappropriate or uncomfortable, something that I wouldn't say
to his face.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
It face what I said.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
But I appreciate what a morale building, team building you.
Why would you bring up these things?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well, I have to look out for Paul as well. Thanks,
dam I look out for you.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I'm asking you to site an example like I do it.
The calls and I said, tell you to shut up.
What do you want me to shut up with? I
don't know, just them to stop talking, no funy stop singing.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
For years, the NFL has been tinkering with the kickoff,
so they were trying to strike that balance between entertainment
and safety. Problem was they leaned a little too heavy
for the safety part of it. We're there for the excitement.
So kickoffs became routine and it was like a ceremonial
kickoff that'd be a touchback, and then all of a sudden,
(21:39):
with touchbacks now going out to the thirty five yard line.
You got these special teams, coaches units, and now there's
real incentive to let the opponent bring the ball back.
After Week one, granted small sample size, over seventy five
percent of kickoffs were returned. Now, last year the number
was under thirty three percent. That's a massive, massive leap,
(22:04):
and now it matters. So if the trend continues. The
NFL has done something that's really rare. They revived a
play that was almost extinct and they made it worth
watching again. I'm sure they're still concerned about safety. They
have to be, and even the optics of it when
you look at it, I know it's weird, but if
(22:27):
it's a means to an end, like, okay, it looks weird,
but then on you know, the end of it, I
might get a return, I might get a little bit
of action there as opposed to it just going into
the end zone. And you have to have a kickoff.
And that's why I kept saying, can you make it
so you can put some safety measures, put them in
(22:47):
place while you still get some excitement here. This is entertainment.
This is the entertainment business. And I'll give the NFL credit.
They tweaked it, tweaked it, tweaked it. I know we
can't do anything about the on sidekick, and really the
most dangerous playing football is the punt return when you
think of it. There's nothing they can do about that either,
(23:10):
because they can't say, all right, you kick it and
then the line of scrimmage now you can move. They're
not going to do that. But the kickoff, it's back,
and I welcome it, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
And the kickoffs really went step by step last year.
There is more kickoffs returned, but a lower rate of concussions.
That allowed the NFL to say the place safer. And
then they moved the touch back from the thirty to
the thirty five, which really is discouraging kicking in the
end zone. People are trying to pooch punt it a pooch,
kick it to the five or less, which.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Means there's more returns and more action.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
The Niners got some injuries. George Kittle is going to
be out at least a month. Rock Perty's got a
banged up shoulder, banged up tow and you know, we
went through this last year where big potential, big hopes
and you end up winning six games McCaffrey played a
lot more, got the ball a lot more than I thought.
(24:03):
You know, I think he had close to thirty touches,
and you're gonna have to I don't know if he
can handle what they're going to try to put on
top of him, especially if brock Pertyes banged up a
little bit there. But George Kittle and that's that's your
safety valve, as they like to say, George Kittle out
for at least a month. Yes, Marv, the Niners will
be okay. They got mac Jones at the backup. Well,
(24:27):
it could be worse.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
That's a high end backup. You always talk about that
in the NFL. You want a guy that's at least competent.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Aiden in Utah, Hi, Aiden, what's on your mind today, Dag?
Speaker 13 (24:38):
Good morning DP. I'm also calling in to defend the
University of South Florida. Okay, the disrespect this morning is ridiculous,
but I want to know, so Dan, there's an AP
voter over the last weekend AP voter for college football who,
after Florida loss to the Universe near South Florida, Florida,
(25:02):
moved up in her rankings and USF stayed unranked, which
even if you want to leave usf unranked, how would
Florida then move up? But I just want to know,
in your experience working with the AP, have you ever
seen anything as preposterous as that?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So just some ridiculous no, IQ thought, I don't I
can't speak to this voter, and I'm not really well
versed in the AP and voters, and I don't get
caught up in rankings normally, especially in this month, usually
in October. Okay, now you start to see a little
(25:40):
separation or you have a sample size where you go, Okay,
it's fair to say this team is that good? Like
Texas was the number one team in the country. How
is the number one team in the country on the
road as an underdog against Ohio State? Are you really
the number one team in the country? And shouldn't it
have been? Ohio State? Is the number one team in
the country. We sometimes the rankings don't make any sense.
(26:04):
Sometimes somebody's logic doesn't make any sense. Sometimes a lot
of times we rank a team higher than they should be,
and then all of a sudden, at the end of
the year, you're like, man, what happened to you?
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't know, Maybe we weren't that good. Matt in Ohio.
Hi Matt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (26:21):
Hey guys, good morning, Happy hump Day to you. I
wanted to chime in on the rankings and stuff like that.
Also also, I'm a member of the proud member of
the Triple D Club. I live in Lima, Ohio, not Lima, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I want to throw that up for some people. But
so your dead dad, dead mom and divorced. No, dead dog, dog?
Speaker 14 (26:47):
Oh yeah, dead dog, dead dad and divorced.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Okay, but if you can have one back, which one
would you want back?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Man?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Uh? Probably probably Dad. But I love my talkolive lab.
I've not the X right Dad.
Speaker 14 (27:12):
No, No, No, that's that's that's in third place for sure.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Okay, but I.
Speaker 15 (27:17):
Did want to I'm totally with you on the top
twenty five or the rankings being later, you know, coming
out later, especially you know with the way to transfer
portal is right now, and just everything's just up in
the air.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I remember.
Speaker 14 (27:35):
About ten years ago, always looking forward to getting my
Lindy's College Football magazine, and you wanted to see who
your team had.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You know, that was on the roster last year. No,
I get I get September is being used the way
September is being used in the NFL. You got all
of these new players, like Belichick, seventy new players, it's
impossible to get them on the same page, and probably
not for another two games, and then maybe you will
get a true assessment of how good North Carolina is.
(28:10):
Derek and Florida. Hi, Derek, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (28:13):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (28:14):
First time caller. I'm five ten, three fifteen. I'd like
to touch base on a couple of topics you guys
have talked about. The first one being the USF Bulls.
Being a closet USF Bulls fan, per se, I'm a
Florida State fan, but living around the Tampa Bay area,
I'm a lover of football, so I've watched that team
grow over the last few years. I think I disagree
(28:35):
with you because I think their rankings right now are
about where they need to be. If you go back,
they've faced one decent team by perspective. You want to say,
Boise States perspective. From their perspective is a good team,
But at the end of the day, they've gotten whooked
two games in a row. So that's my perspective. I
(28:55):
don't think they're a bad team. I think they deserve
to be in the top twenty five. I think their
rankings are appropriate.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
All right, well, thank you, thank you for that. If
they beat when they beat Miami, then all of a sudden,
we're going to have a big conversation next week. Chris
and Syracuse. Hi, Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (29:11):
Hey?
Speaker 13 (29:12):
Thanks Dan?
Speaker 17 (29:12):
Hey, I want to comment on the kickoff talking in
the first segment. I want to comment on your on
your South Florida Bulls.
Speaker 18 (29:19):
Yeah, you know, I I didn't think that extra five
yards would make that big of a difference to the
you know, the kicking team, but obviously it does. And
when I think about it, maybe it is now field
goal kickers, like sixty yarders are becoming routines. So if
you're starting at the thirty five man, you're a couple
first downs away from field goal range. And on your
South Florida Bulls, I don't know. Maybe I always got
(29:40):
movies in my head, but I'm curious what you guys think.
Speaker 17 (29:42):
There's a movie, The North Dallas forty and it's my
favorite football movie, one of my favorite sports movies. And
they are also the North Dallas Bulls, and I'm just
curious in the rankings.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Of football movies.
Speaker 17 (29:56):
I know Paul's kind of at a fishing nodo on those
kind of movies. What you I just think of North
Dallas forty if you have seen it.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, I read the book Pete gent I believe is
the writer, former player, and it was the football version.
It felt like of Ball four that Jim Bowten wrote.
It was behind the scenes and you're like, wow, I
never knew anything about this, And the fact that it
was the Cowboys, you know, that peaked a lot of
(30:25):
curiosities there. But as far as best football movie, well, Rudy,
but that's a documentary. Seeing always reminds me Rudy is
not a movie. It's a documentary.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
Arguably the greatest documentary ever.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Ye as well.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
North Dallas forty came out in seventy nine, so a
lot of people missed it in the eighties and nineties
of the peak sports movies. But it is fantastic. It's
with Nick Nolty mac Davis, a former country singer as
the quarterback, and it's very gritty and real and shows
the cutthroat business side and drug side of a football
It's a great movie a top five easy.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Go in South Dakota. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Hey Danny and Marna Phillis. So I guess you're back
here on this ranking. Not necessarily with South Florida. Maybe, Yeah,
sure they could be a top ten fringe team.
Speaker 11 (31:15):
But I think our voters have.
Speaker 10 (31:17):
A lot of bias they carry in from either previous
seasons or the name of the university. They need to
be willing to admit that maybe we had our rankings wrong,
and based on what you've seen this year and this
year alone, let's rank our teams accordingly.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Yeah, there is a build in bias that you know
sometimes if you're and once again, I don't know people
who are AP voters, but it's just like the Heisman.
I get to vote in the Heisman. Well, I think
it's really incumbent upon us to watch as many games
as possible, and that's where you're fair to these other
(31:54):
players on other teams. And sometimes it's easy to go
with I don't know, I'll just vote, Okay, that's the
best player. It's really hard to define, you know, when
we're looking at who is the best player in college football,
it's not always the quarterback. It's not always the running back,
but it's basically a quarterback driven award. Now, there can
(32:18):
be guys on the other side of the ball who
are unbelievable. I mean, and Dominic and Sue was incredible?
Or was Drell Reevas great in college? I mean, that's
what I don't think we factor in because it's really
hard to go, man, that guy's the best player in
football because we like sack, we like numbers, we like stats,
(32:40):
and that's where it's really hard. Sometimes you look at
a team and go like, I don't know how good
LSU is. I don't it feels like they're going to
have two losses, where you go, how do they lose
those games? Or Oregon? They were unbelievable against Oklahoma State?
Is Okloma State that bad? Is Oregon that good? Is
(33:01):
it somewhere in between? So when you're trying to rank
these teams, I'm gonna give Ohio State credit. I mean,
they beat Texas, but it was a home game where
they're favored. They should have won the game. So who's great?
Is Penn State great? They've been great? Have they been tested?
I don't know. Hey they were good last year. Hey
(33:23):
they got a really good quarterback. Okay, James Franklin doesn't
win the big game, like I you know, is usc
Any good this year? How do you know? And the
transfer portal, it's really difficult to go. I know how
good that team is? Yeah, pullint.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
I went back and looked at the college football Playoff
ap pole one year ago today. Indiana, Boise State, SMU,
and Arizona State were all unranked.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Yeah, they all do up in the playoffs. Yeah, unranked
a year ago.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, it's hard to do it because can you go
out to all of these practices. Can you watch their
spring game? Like all of this stuff, and there's no
preseason to watch. That's why I've been lobbying for a preseason.
So you do play Grambling State or McNee state, you
give them a paycheck, you get a better sense of
(34:17):
just how good these teams are, and you have a
controlled scrimmage there and then you play real games after that.
It probably is gonna fall on deaf ears, but I'll
continue to offer that up. All right, let me take
a break. We'll give you hour one poll results. We
got our play of the day after this. Fox Sports

for Paulie. There's only two NFL coaches in the last
ten years who lost their head coaching debut after leading
by double digits in the fourth quarter. Ben Johnson and
former Airs coach Matt Nagy. Congratulations. Stat of today brought
(36:12):
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards at
the Dan Patrick Show. Yeah, this top twenty five voting.
It's kind of it's big on social media. It might
be even a little bit bigger than that. I think
there's under seventy voters for the Associated Press, and one
of the voters, after Florida lost to South Florida, she
still had Florida ranked above South Florida and came off
(36:38):
a little flippant, I think in you know, she was
trying to defend her vote. But feels like people are
crashing down on this, you know a little bit. Yeah, Paulie, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
Become a big college football story the past twenty four hours,
mostly on social media if you don't follow you and
I see it. But this reporter was very you know,
she semi explained why she kept certain teams here. She goes,
that's fun, it's for discussion, it's not that important or real,
And that didn't go over well with some people who
take college football quite a bit more seriously.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Well, you know, the rankings are a big deal. I
know that you have to have rankings to build up
a game, and you know, sometimes you'll say, why am
I watching this game? Or Hey, that team could make
the playoffs. That team is ranked you know twenty first. Okay,
adds a little bit more to it. I understand it.
I think it's really hard to assess how good a
team is. And I'm not talking about the top top teams.
(37:30):
We expect them to be great, but you know it's
the Arizona State and the Boise State and SMU from
last year Indiana where you're not quite sure, but you
know they played a role last year in the college playoffs.
Let's see Doug in Denver. Good morning, Doug. What's on
your mind today?
Speaker 10 (37:51):
Hey?
Speaker 20 (37:51):
DP, first time, long time, five ten and after yesterday
and starting again today, I just had a question. Does
Fritzy have a different contract than the rest of the
day nets, because my guess is he's paid by the word.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
No, they don't have contracts. Fritzy is not paid by
the word. I would be bankrupt if that was the case.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
That's a shot, I guess it is.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Knowing I'm a Denver Broncos fan and all, he's still.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, that's got a shot. Doug in Denver taking a
shot at you a little bit. Now you do. I
always tell Todd cut it in half, and then cut
it in half again when he's ready to give his
speech a soliloquy.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
And then I proceed to go through the stop sign.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yes you do, you do, blow through the stop sign,
Yes you do.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Yes, Paul, I have a quick update on the origins
of University of South Florida being in Tampa, which we
consider mid Florida. In nineteen fifty seven, the Senators in
Florida dub it the University of South Florida. At the time,
USF was the southernmost university in the state university system.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
There it is, Thank you, Joe and Tucson. Hi, Joe,
Hey Dan.
Speaker 21 (39:08):
How are you great?
Speaker 11 (39:11):
I have a pile of the face bet for you
that the Vikings will not win more than six games
this year.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Oh you say they won't win more than six?
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Okay? Does anybody want to take Joe up on that?
The Vikings? PAULI, yeah, they'll win more than six. All right,
all right, Joe, you got a pile of the face
bet with PAULI?
Speaker 11 (39:32):
All right, So I'm good, Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I'm not sure why we're down on the Vikings after
what we just saw. Uh, Mikey and Tampa. Hi, Mikey.
Speaker 21 (39:42):
Hey Dan, first time caller five eight If I wear
my boots one eight five Dan, I've got bad news
for you. You just got bumped down on the University
of South Florida Lift because the most famous graduate from
the USF Bowls is gal I know you put but
(40:03):
Gallagher crushes watermelons with the sledge of mattic. But you
just got bumped down a little bit on the USF list.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Is Gallagher still alive?
Speaker 21 (40:13):
Gallagher has passed away.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Okay, three years ago he passed away. I'm talking about
active celebrities who were supporting South Florida Bulls. But thank
you Mikey.
Speaker 9 (40:24):
Yeah, let's say, doesn't Gallagher? Is it him or his brother?
Speaker 7 (40:27):
Because didn't get didn't Gallagher have that thing where he
was like the guy and then his brother stole his act.
Speaker 9 (40:33):
And started doing it on his own or something like that.
Speaker 7 (40:35):
There's some kind of tension there with the two of them,
and they were like, no, I'm the real Gallagher. I'm
the one that smashed this watermelons and they both did that.
I never quite got Gallagher. You know, it'd be like, Okay,
we're smashing pumpkins. We're smashing watermelons. Yeah, okay, heck yeah yeah.
Speaker 9 (40:52):
Let the pumpkins.

looked okay, Look, you know it's fun it's interesting to
see a quarterback were number forty seven? Yes, Paul, I'm
going to back.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
You on this.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
You are not desperate and alone watching football. You are
watching football because you can't watch all the games on Saturdays.
And the rears are kind of fun to learn about teams. Yeah,
and especially for if you're a voter or a Heisman voter,
you should be well versed.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I think this guy is his first name is Bear Awesome. Yeah,
but number forty seven, yes, Ton.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
But isn't there something to be said about taking one
or two days off, especially these next three months.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
We got to pace ourselves.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
If you're gonna use Tuesday under Wednesday though rewatch games
or watch games that you happen to miss, then you're
gona have no break.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Ever, it's going to be seven days a week. As
much as we love.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Sports, sometimes you need a little family time or take
a nap or something.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
This is This is called homework. It's called.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
We're gonna talk a lot of BYU football today.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I didn't see it. I just you know, maybe we
talk Andrew Luck in Stanford and they didn't look good,
so maybe Frank Reich isn't the head coach there. Next year.
Maybe Andrew luck Is. I don't know, Todd, those are
valid topics, thank you, yes, yeah, But I was just
you know, going through and all of a sudden, I go, okay,
I'm gonna watch a little bit of b YU. There
(04:36):
nothing wrong with that, Todd. You can't watch Ohio State
every weekend.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I know.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I was just concerned for you to have a little break,
you know, the time with the wife or whatever. You know,
a day or two where you're like, no football because
the other five days we're going to be swimming in Well.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Thank you, thank you, thank you for worrying about my
social life at home.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Got for a nice dinner, you know, light a candle,
intimacy or whatever. Don't worry about the be Why you
re aired light a candle? Is that the mood didn't
a lights? Whatever you guys do, it's none of my business.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Maybe I was setting the mood with BYU against.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
BYO.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm about to try that sometime we are of a
college football game. See what I get?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
What I'm doing some far as work.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Yeah, but the South Florida thing is kind of semi real.
If they can beat Miami this weekend, they become the
lovable team. Like you know Arizona State last year, SMU
last year.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Or Boise State.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They could be a top ten team if they beat
Miami their top ten team? Is that? Okay everybody? Okay,
I'm in early on.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
They won't get top ten. They won't crack the top
ten by if they beat Miami. They I'm not saying
they shouldn't. I'm saying they won't. They people like to
tiptoe for a lovable new team to be the top ten.
If they beat Miami, they're looking at a nice fourteen spot.
And that's fantastic in September. Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Agreat because we don't even know if Miami is real. Yeah,
they beat Notre Dame.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
Well you don't know that Notre Dame is real.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, that's true. They're ranked higher than South Florida and
they haven't won a game yet. These polls are always weird.
That's why you know that first poll that should come
out should come out in October because we and we
do this all the time. The preseason where we ranked somebody.
Remember when North Carolina was the number one team in
America pre season for basketball, they didn't make the tournament. Okay,
(06:25):
North Carolina. They didn't play well, but all the voters
who put North Carolina number one didn't do well either.
It's I don't know, let's just put the blue bloods
up there, and then all of a sudden they don't
perform as well as they shouldn't. Then we go, oh, man,
what happened to you guys? I don't know. Guys, are
the ones who ranked us higher than we probably should
have been? Yes, Todd, it proves the same.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You don't want to end up on the pole. There
you go. I thought that was a great line. I'm
really disappointed I and get a reaction. It's it's like
a band, It's like a jinx to be on the poll.
You don't want to be on the poll. You know,
want your kids on the pole. You don't want to
be on the poll.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
You want to be on the pole if you're a team.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah, but if they if they overrank you, and then
all of a sudden, like you just said, en up
performing well. They made us the number six team in
the country and we lost our first two games. You
don't want to end up on the pole in the beginning.
You don't want to be on the pole. Okay, pol
He said, I, it's just not funny.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I need you to slow down. Okay, I need you.
I'm being honest.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I think I may have taken the wrong medication.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Now I'm gonna blame Paulie for having eye surgery yesterday.
I heard it was wild, Yes it was.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It is his fault because I got a little loose.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You got loose, and you're still loose, and I've got it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Calm down.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And then he's, you know, singing Beatles songs right in
my face because he's mocking me. He's trolling me. Got
the Beatles sweatshirt he's talking about when he was in
high school driving around trying to pick up girls.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Wasn't just the singing.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I took my finger and I kind of pointed in
your eye and I made like a little concentric circles
in your face.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You didn't like the finger in the seat.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
There are days that I wonder if Todd's medication is balanced.
Today is one of those days, and it's not. The
telltale sign is whenever Todd is talking and he's going
really fast, but he ends up flying, his words are flying,
and then what happens is, I don't know what, he
runs out of air, and Eddie's laughing while doing that.
(08:13):
That to when you know, like, oh boy, this dude
is really on one right now.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
He's like.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
That.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And it wasn't just me who said something to you.
Marvin wanted to know if you were on drugs, and
Seaton questioned what was going on.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's a little frightening for.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Me too, because sometimes I think I'm gonna bite my
tongue off or something like that when it's not going
like really fast.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But I got to settle down a little bit, just
a long show fifty minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yes, yes, I want you to pace yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Okay, I'm getting a lot of extra sleep litly and
we're in that the seatpap thing you know for the
sleep appar air is springing your up your nose in
your mouth to make sure you don't die in your sleep.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It's a I think that's helped.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
I got overly oxygenated.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I think I think got it because all I took
was like a centrum silver.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And like a calcium pill. That wouldn't do this to me.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Yes, Marvin, well, maybe you should take a Flintstones' Kids
vitamin next time.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
The silver part of the thing, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Centrum silver.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah, for those of US fifty and above.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Okay, they put a couple extra things in the extra
zinc and copper in your bloodstream or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
She wants the whole question today.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
So glad you asked, where should South Florida be ranked?
Top ten, eleven or twenty one plus?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Who saw that coming?
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Are there bowls in South Florida?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
It's a hotbed of livestock.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
The only bowl in South Florida is Michael Jordan. Okay,
all right, given that to you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I'm not going to give you that one.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Todd had a boy kid, all right, Todd, you mess
with the bull and you get the Okay, Yeah, that's right,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Okay, I'm not just going to follow the group. I
have my own independent opinion.
Speaker 11 (09:53):
Do we do?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
We have?
Speaker 10 (09:55):
What?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Marvin?
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Sorry, you're talking about South Florida? Like they urban my
Florida Gators they beat Billy Navy or Florida Gators.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'd like the underdog. I like the little guy. Oh
so do I.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Would you say?
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Top ten? Me and Seton looked at you, like top
ten in Florida?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
I mean, I'm not exactly the gatekeeper of all college
football polls. But that seems like a stretch to this
early and okay.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
All right, all right, I think because they're they're called
South Florida that hurts them. Now it's like, where is
it South Florida. Yeah, so it it's down south bottom party.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Yeah, yes, yes, directional schools have an upward track. So
like last year, Northern Illinois takes down Notre Dame. Everyone's
in a Northern Illinois. It was a September game. It
was a big, big deal for Northern Illinois. I think
they lost the next weekend, so like it didn't even
last a week.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
But meanwhile though, then interesting part of that is that
if Florida was actually two states and there was in
North Florida and South Florida sort of like the Carolinas,
they would be fine.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
South Carolina.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
They don't get called the directional school because that's state
school is South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's a good, good call, you know.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
But if there was South Florida as a state and
North Florida as a state, nobody would judge South Florida
poorly for that.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Yes, Marta, you know what, I'm against South Florida already
because they play in Tampa.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Okay, that's not south south central?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Is it mid mid mid Florida, mid mid middle Florida.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
You just call the mid mid Florida.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Dang, I'm here to praise the bulls. You're trying to
bury him.
Speaker 9 (11:35):
That is kind of mid Florida, isn't it. What's the
cut off line? Is Orlando? The Dixon line of Florida.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Orlando is Central Florida.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yes, the Dixon Dixon line is uh. And then Tampa
is so mid mid Florida.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Tampa Tampa. It's kind of a standalone, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
A central Florida situation?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Really? Would they be better off at the University of
Tampa then they're a University of Tampa anyway, Yes, But
I think South Florida that confuses people a little bit, like, uh,
where are you?
Speaker 10 (12:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And not Miami, Tallahassee near Tallahassee. Yeah, Okay, So South Florida.
What what's the point spread for South Florida and Miami.
Now I'm really invested in this game. Now I am
Game of the Week by farm. I'm hoping is it
on the CW. Of course, the big games are on
(12:30):
the c W. I hope I get my South Florida
jersey in time to wear it by Friday.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Celebrity fans, Yeah, South Florida.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
How many celebrity fans? Who are the celebrities at South Florida? Okay?
Any other pole questions? Aside from that one seaton.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
There's going to be about thirteen more South Florida ones.
I can tell you, Okay, the South Florida Bulls. They
are a university as well, it's not a college.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
I think that's pretty good. Okay, I'm doing a deep
dive on South Florida right now.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Heck yeah, let me get to Christopher in Colorado Springs. Hey, Chris, Hey.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
Dan, Hey guys, hey, five six to fifty good, totally
fulfilling a life moment here. Let me take a little breath.
Thanks guys. So it's got to as you know, you
guys are my only football friend. It's the most amazing
(13:31):
thing we can up listening to my fellas you make
my day go by. It's great. So, Dan, let me
tell you about you once talked about how you control
the music at your dinner table. Yeah, so you know,
we did that for a long time where the wife
and I would just choose songs. But then you got
(13:51):
to where we were just playing the same songs over
and over and over again, you know, same bands. So
what I started last August was we started with the
A's and we picked an A band and every night
we pick a different A band and we listen to
all the music we can listen to. And it has
spread our music knowledge considerably.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, I'm happy for you, and thank you for calling in, Christopher.
But I control the music and I'll sprinkle in, you know,
maybe something random and uh, you know, things go well, yeah,
it goes.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
It sets the mood, you know, Yes, Marvin, what's your
go to at the dinner table?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I just usually on Spotify and I'll do it. It
could be usually it's a band like Beach Boys Radio
and then you get a playlist of a lot of
different things. Or yes, time, my song.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Is past the chicken to the left, untidy Tago book?
Is that not our audience? Is that not our generation?
Pasta duchy none, I got no, I got youth. I
believe it's something of that.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
And then past the chicken, it's like pass it down
the table because we're eating dinner.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Yeah, okay, how about we take a break. I might
have gone over some people's heads, but it shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Have PAULI do you wish you had eye surgery a second? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (15:14):
Yeah, I wish perhaps ear surgery might be more helpful.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
So mean, I don't know. There were some lines yesterday
off off air that were directed towards Paul. Right, Todd,
I can't it was done in yes, so there were
there were. By the way, South Florida is getting seventeen
(15:41):
and a half, they are ripe for an upset South
Florida against the U. All right, we'll take a break.
The NFL tweaked a rule and it's good. We'll talk
about that next Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show week day said nine am Eastern, six am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Hey, what's up everybody?
Speaker 12 (16:07):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington, and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
on Game? What is up on Game? You asked, along
with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Hutschman, Zada and Super
Bowl champion Yup. That's right, Plexico Burris. You can only
name a show with that type of talent on it.
Up on Game. We're going to be sharing our real
(16:30):
life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to Up on
Game with me LeVar Arrington, TJ. Huschman, Zada, and Plexico
Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
The NFL gave Jalen Carter a ruling, and as I expected,
as I was told he was not going to be suspended.
He already was suspended one game, missing the first game
of the season, but I thought he was going to
be fined, and it turned out to be fifty seven
thousand dollars. If he had been thrown out of the
game in the second half, then he'd probably set the
(17:08):
first half of this week's game. But he had already
you know, time served, and he got a game and
then fined fifty seven thousand dollars eight seven seven to three.
DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a
DP show. Somehow I got on a South Florida bandwagon
(17:29):
and I just wondered if they were in the top
twenty five, and I thought, you know, are they in
the top fifteen. They beat Boise State and they beat Florida,
and of course This wasn't Boise State from last year
or Urban Myers Florida Gators. Of course, this is what
Marvin said. I said, I know that it's still they
got two wins? Are they top fifteen? If they beat
(17:51):
Florida their top ten, that's all. But he came down
hard on me. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
See, I think it was to say that's they but
they should be in the top ten. I think that
was the controversial state.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
If they beat Miami there in the top ten.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
It wasn't wondering like where are they in the top
twenty five, that.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Was like they should be in the top ten.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Well, what do we have celebrities who went to South Florida.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Now you're trying to become the most famous South Florida supporter. Yes,
Tony LaRussa, the baseball.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Man and he's a genius.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Okay, Jason Pierre Paul, are you famous guy?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah? Fireworks?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Oh yeah, let's see hul Cogan attended, did not graduate RP.
There's not a lot Markswelos the honky, he's pretty famous.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
He's yeah. Yeah, he got Kelly Ripp's husband.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
He's always too good looking.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, Campobaso, Yeah, that's about it. That's it.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I think you're in good show.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I'm in there. I'm on the mount Rushmore of South
Florida supporters.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
And you considered going there, no idea.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
You're certainly the most vocal of them.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yesday have no doubt about it. I don't hear Mark
consualo with Kelly and Mark.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
To be fair, we didn't watch, but they may have
led the show with it, but I doubt it.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
So they're married and hosts the show together. Yeah, does
that seem like too much time together?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I think you need to have separation of church and state.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
It seem like they're doing fantastic too.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, and they talk about their love life all the time. Yes, Todd, I.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Don't think it's a good idea because they're gonna have
those moments.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
H I was trying to set you up and then
you Why did you say what you said back to
me on the show?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I give you an open line there. What did you
mean by that when you gave me that look in
the second?
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Yes, I think as long as you know in that
situation whose show it is and who's running things, everything's
gonna go great.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It's her show, it is one hundred.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Percent her show, and you are just there to be
the guy that I want you to be while you're
doing my show. Yeah, how's that sound? And we'll make
you know tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars
doing it. How's that sound great?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Okay, which is just like marriage. It's her show, and
I'm here to help, I'm here to support.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'm just what do I need you to do? That's
all I am.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
What do you need me to do?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah? Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
And if Michael Strahan hadn't left, it would just Marcus
Willis wouldn't even have a show at all.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So okay, Well, wasn't Ryan Seacrest in there too?
Speaker 8 (20:17):
I think a lot of people were in there. Then
they were like, all right, let's give Kelly's husband a shot.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Had a few?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, yeah, I think yes.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
But Seacrest kept saying after the break and it wasn't
time to break. There was still like another fifteen minutes
to Philly was killing them.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Okay, how do you think you'd do it today? I
think the show's going with your destroyer.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
During the commercial break, I said, Todd, slow down.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I think that's kind of funny. Imagine Ryan Seacrest saying
after the break. No, no, no, we just came back
from break. Were you throwing it to the break?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And then you were mocking Paul yesterday? What did I
say the few shots at him? A little bit.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I don't think there was anything malicious or vicious or
even remotely inappropriate or uncomfortable, something that I wouldn't say
to his face.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
It face what I said.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
But I appreciate what a morale building, team building you.
Why would you bring up these things?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well, I have to look out for Paul as well. Thanks,
dam I look out for you.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I'm asking you to site an example like I do it.
The calls and I said, tell you to shut up.
What do you want me to shut up with? I
don't know, just them to stop talking, no funy stop singing.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
For years, the NFL has been tinkering with the kickoff,
so they were trying to strike that balance between entertainment
and safety. Problem was they leaned a little too heavy
for the safety part of it. We're there for the excitement.
So kickoffs became routine and it was like a ceremonial
kickoff that'd be a touchback, and then all of a sudden,
(21:39):
with touchbacks now going out to the thirty five yard line.
You got these special teams, coaches units, and now there's
real incentive to let the opponent bring the ball back.
After Week one, granted small sample size, over seventy five
percent of kickoffs were returned. Now, last year the number
was under thirty three percent. That's a massive, massive leap,
(22:04):
and now it matters. So if the trend continues. The
NFL has done something that's really rare. They revived a
play that was almost extinct and they made it worth
watching again. I'm sure they're still concerned about safety. They
have to be, and even the optics of it when
you look at it, I know it's weird, but if
(22:27):
it's a means to an end, like, okay, it looks weird,
but then on you know, the end of it, I
might get a return, I might get a little bit
of action there as opposed to it just going into
the end zone. And you have to have a kickoff.
And that's why I kept saying, can you make it
so you can put some safety measures, put them in
(22:47):
place while you still get some excitement here. This is entertainment.
This is the entertainment business. And I'll give the NFL credit.
They tweaked it, tweaked it, tweaked it. I know we
can't do anything about the on sidekick, and really the
most dangerous playing football is the punt return when you
think of it. There's nothing they can do about that either,
(23:10):
because they can't say, all right, you kick it and
then the line of scrimmage now you can move. They're
not going to do that. But the kickoff, it's back,
and I welcome it, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
And the kickoffs really went step by step last year.
There is more kickoffs returned, but a lower rate of concussions.
That allowed the NFL to say the place safer. And
then they moved the touch back from the thirty to
the thirty five, which really is discouraging kicking in the
end zone. People are trying to pooch punt it a pooch,
kick it to the five or less, which.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Means there's more returns and more action.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
The Niners got some injuries. George Kittle is going to
be out at least a month. Rock Perty's got a
banged up shoulder, banged up tow and you know, we
went through this last year where big potential, big hopes
and you end up winning six games McCaffrey played a
lot more, got the ball a lot more than I thought.
(24:03):
You know, I think he had close to thirty touches,
and you're gonna have to I don't know if he
can handle what they're going to try to put on
top of him, especially if brock Pertyes banged up a
little bit there. But George Kittle and that's that's your
safety valve, as they like to say, George Kittle out
for at least a month. Yes, Marv, the Niners will
be okay. They got mac Jones at the backup. Well,
(24:27):
it could be worse.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
That's a high end backup. You always talk about that
in the NFL. You want a guy that's at least competent.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Aiden in Utah, Hi, Aiden, what's on your mind today, Dag?
Speaker 13 (24:38):
Good morning DP. I'm also calling in to defend the
University of South Florida. Okay, the disrespect this morning is ridiculous,
but I want to know, so Dan, there's an AP
voter over the last weekend AP voter for college football who,
after Florida loss to the Universe near South Florida, Florida,
(25:02):
moved up in her rankings and USF stayed unranked, which
even if you want to leave usf unranked, how would
Florida then move up? But I just want to know,
in your experience working with the AP, have you ever
seen anything as preposterous as that?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So just some ridiculous no, IQ thought, I don't I
can't speak to this voter, and I'm not really well
versed in the AP and voters, and I don't get
caught up in rankings normally, especially in this month, usually
in October. Okay, now you start to see a little
(25:40):
separation or you have a sample size where you go, Okay,
it's fair to say this team is that good? Like
Texas was the number one team in the country. How
is the number one team in the country on the
road as an underdog against Ohio State? Are you really
the number one team in the country? And shouldn't it
have been? Ohio State? Is the number one team in
the country. We sometimes the rankings don't make any sense.
(26:04):
Sometimes somebody's logic doesn't make any sense. Sometimes a lot
of times we rank a team higher than they should be,
and then all of a sudden, at the end of
the year, you're like, man, what happened to you?
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't know, Maybe we weren't that good. Matt in Ohio.
Hi Matt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (26:21):
Hey guys, good morning, Happy hump Day to you. I
wanted to chime in on the rankings and stuff like that.
Also also, I'm a member of the proud member of
the Triple D Club. I live in Lima, Ohio, not Lima, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I want to throw that up for some people. But
so your dead dad, dead mom and divorced. No, dead dog, dog?
Speaker 14 (26:47):
Oh yeah, dead dog, dead dad and divorced.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Okay, but if you can have one back, which one
would you want back?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Man?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Uh? Probably probably Dad. But I love my talkolive lab.
I've not the X right Dad.
Speaker 14 (27:12):
No, No, No, that's that's that's in third place for sure.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Okay, but I.
Speaker 15 (27:17):
Did want to I'm totally with you on the top
twenty five or the rankings being later, you know, coming
out later, especially you know with the way to transfer
portal is right now, and just everything's just up in
the air.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I remember.
Speaker 14 (27:35):
About ten years ago, always looking forward to getting my
Lindy's College Football magazine, and you wanted to see who
your team had.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You know, that was on the roster last year. No,
I get I get September is being used the way
September is being used in the NFL. You got all
of these new players, like Belichick, seventy new players, it's
impossible to get them on the same page, and probably
not for another two games, and then maybe you will
get a true assessment of how good North Carolina is.
(28:10):
Derek and Florida. Hi, Derek, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (28:13):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (28:14):
First time caller. I'm five ten, three fifteen. I'd like
to touch base on a couple of topics you guys
have talked about. The first one being the USF Bulls.
Being a closet USF Bulls fan, per se, I'm a
Florida State fan, but living around the Tampa Bay area,
I'm a lover of football, so I've watched that team
grow over the last few years. I think I disagree
(28:35):
with you because I think their rankings right now are
about where they need to be. If you go back,
they've faced one decent team by perspective. You want to say,
Boise States perspective. From their perspective is a good team,
But at the end of the day, they've gotten whooked
two games in a row. So that's my perspective. I
(28:55):
don't think they're a bad team. I think they deserve
to be in the top twenty five. I think their
rankings are appropriate.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
All right, well, thank you, thank you for that. If
they beat when they beat Miami, then all of a sudden,
we're going to have a big conversation next week. Chris
and Syracuse. Hi, Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (29:11):
Hey?
Speaker 13 (29:12):
Thanks Dan?
Speaker 17 (29:12):
Hey, I want to comment on the kickoff talking in
the first segment. I want to comment on your on
your South Florida Bulls.
Speaker 18 (29:19):
Yeah, you know, I I didn't think that extra five
yards would make that big of a difference to the
you know, the kicking team, but obviously it does. And
when I think about it, maybe it is now field
goal kickers, like sixty yarders are becoming routines. So if
you're starting at the thirty five man, you're a couple
first downs away from field goal range. And on your
South Florida Bulls, I don't know. Maybe I always got
(29:40):
movies in my head, but I'm curious what you guys think.
Speaker 17 (29:42):
There's a movie, The North Dallas forty and it's my
favorite football movie, one of my favorite sports movies. And
they are also the North Dallas Bulls, and I'm just
curious in the rankings.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Of football movies.
Speaker 17 (29:56):
I know Paul's kind of at a fishing nodo on those
kind of movies. What you I just think of North
Dallas forty if you have seen it.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, I read the book Pete gent I believe is
the writer, former player, and it was the football version.
It felt like of Ball four that Jim Bowten wrote.
It was behind the scenes and you're like, wow, I
never knew anything about this, And the fact that it
was the Cowboys, you know, that peaked a lot of
(30:25):
curiosities there. But as far as best football movie, well, Rudy,
but that's a documentary. Seeing always reminds me Rudy is
not a movie. It's a documentary.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
Arguably the greatest documentary ever.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Ye as well.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
North Dallas forty came out in seventy nine, so a
lot of people missed it in the eighties and nineties
of the peak sports movies. But it is fantastic. It's
with Nick Nolty mac Davis, a former country singer as
the quarterback, and it's very gritty and real and shows
the cutthroat business side and drug side of a football
It's a great movie a top five easy.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Go in South Dakota. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Hey Danny and Marna Phillis. So I guess you're back
here on this ranking. Not necessarily with South Florida. Maybe, Yeah,
sure they could be a top ten fringe team.
Speaker 11 (31:15):
But I think our voters have.
Speaker 10 (31:17):
A lot of bias they carry in from either previous
seasons or the name of the university. They need to
be willing to admit that maybe we had our rankings wrong,
and based on what you've seen this year and this
year alone, let's rank our teams accordingly.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Yeah, there is a build in bias that you know
sometimes if you're and once again, I don't know people
who are AP voters, but it's just like the Heisman.
I get to vote in the Heisman. Well, I think
it's really incumbent upon us to watch as many games
as possible, and that's where you're fair to these other
(31:54):
players on other teams. And sometimes it's easy to go
with I don't know, I'll just vote, Okay, that's the
best player. It's really hard to define, you know, when
we're looking at who is the best player in college football,
it's not always the quarterback. It's not always the running back,
but it's basically a quarterback driven award. Now, there can
(32:18):
be guys on the other side of the ball who
are unbelievable. I mean, and Dominic and Sue was incredible?
Or was Drell Reevas great in college? I mean, that's
what I don't think we factor in because it's really
hard to go, man, that guy's the best player in
football because we like sack, we like numbers, we like stats,
(32:40):
and that's where it's really hard. Sometimes you look at
a team and go like, I don't know how good
LSU is. I don't it feels like they're going to
have two losses, where you go, how do they lose
those games? Or Oregon? They were unbelievable against Oklahoma State?
Is Okloma State that bad? Is Oregon that good? Is
(33:01):
it somewhere in between? So when you're trying to rank
these teams, I'm gonna give Ohio State credit. I mean,
they beat Texas, but it was a home game where
they're favored. They should have won the game. So who's great?
Is Penn State great? They've been great? Have they been tested?
I don't know. Hey they were good last year. Hey
(33:23):
they got a really good quarterback. Okay, James Franklin doesn't
win the big game, like I you know, is usc
Any good this year? How do you know? And the
transfer portal, it's really difficult to go. I know how
good that team is? Yeah, pullint.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
I went back and looked at the college football Playoff
ap pole one year ago today. Indiana, Boise State, SMU,
and Arizona State were all unranked.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Yeah, they all do up in the playoffs. Yeah, unranked
a year ago.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, it's hard to do it because can you go
out to all of these practices. Can you watch their
spring game? Like all of this stuff, and there's no
preseason to watch. That's why I've been lobbying for a preseason.
So you do play Grambling State or McNee state, you
give them a paycheck, you get a better sense of
(34:17):
just how good these teams are, and you have a
controlled scrimmage there and then you play real games after that.
It probably is gonna fall on deaf ears, but I'll
continue to offer that up. All right, let me take
a break. We'll give you hour one poll results. We
got our play of the day after this. Fox Sports

Speaker 2 (35:05):
It's number fifty for Kyle Schwarver.

(35:44):
get Mako. Here's something for you. This will be encouraging
for Paulie. There's only two NFL coaches in the last
ten years who lost their head coaching debut after leading
by double digits in the fourth quarter. Ben Johnson and
former Airs coach Matt Nagy. Congratulations. Stat of today brought
(36:12):
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards at
the Dan Patrick Show. Yeah, this top twenty five voting.
It's kind of it's big on social media. It might
be even a little bit bigger than that. I think
there's under seventy voters for the Associated Press, and one
of the voters, after Florida lost to South Florida, she
still had Florida ranked above South Florida and came off
(36:38):
a little flippant, I think in you know, she was
trying to defend her vote. But feels like people are
crashing down on this, you know a little bit. Yeah, Paulie, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
Become a big college football story the past twenty four hours,
mostly on social media if you don't follow you and
I see it. But this reporter was very you know,
she semi explained why she kept certain teams here. She goes,
that's fun, it's for discussion, it's not that important or real,
And that didn't go over well with some people who
take college football quite a bit more seriously.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Well, you know, the rankings are a big deal. I
know that you have to have rankings to build up
a game, and you know, sometimes you'll say, why am
I watching this game? Or Hey, that team could make
the playoffs. That team is ranked you know twenty first. Okay,
adds a little bit more to it. I understand it.
I think it's really hard to assess how good a
team is. And I'm not talking about the top top teams.
(37:30):
We expect them to be great, but you know it's
the Arizona State and the Boise State and SMU from
last year Indiana where you're not quite sure, but you
know they played a role last year in the college playoffs.
Let's see Doug in Denver. Good morning, Doug. What's on
your mind today?
Speaker 10 (37:51):
Hey?
Speaker 20 (37:51):
DP, first time, long time, five ten and after yesterday
and starting again today, I just had a question. Does
Fritzy have a different contract than the rest of the
day nets, because my guess is he's paid by the word.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
No, they don't have contracts. Fritzy is not paid by
the word. I would be bankrupt if that was the case.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
That's a shot, I guess it is.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Knowing I'm a Denver Broncos fan and all, he's still.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, that's got a shot. Doug in Denver taking a
shot at you a little bit. Now you do. I
always tell Todd cut it in half, and then cut
it in half again when he's ready to give his
speech a soliloquy.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
And then I proceed to go through the stop sign.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yes you do, you do, blow through the stop sign,
Yes you do.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Yes, Paul, I have a quick update on the origins
of University of South Florida being in Tampa, which we
consider mid Florida. In nineteen fifty seven, the Senators in
Florida dub it the University of South Florida. At the time,
USF was the southernmost university in the state university system.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
There it is, Thank you, Joe and Tucson. Hi, Joe,
Hey Dan.
Speaker 21 (39:08):
How are you great?
Speaker 11 (39:11):
I have a pile of the face bet for you
that the Vikings will not win more than six games
this year.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Oh you say they won't win more than six?
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Okay? Does anybody want to take Joe up on that?
The Vikings? PAULI, yeah, they'll win more than six. All right,
all right, Joe, you got a pile of the face
bet with PAULI?
Speaker 11 (39:32):
All right, So I'm good, Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I'm not sure why we're down on the Vikings after
what we just saw. Uh, Mikey and Tampa. Hi, Mikey.
Speaker 21 (39:42):
Hey Dan, first time caller five eight If I wear
my boots one eight five Dan, I've got bad news
for you. You just got bumped down on the University
of South Florida Lift because the most famous graduate from
the USF Bowls is gal I know you put but
(40:03):
Gallagher crushes watermelons with the sledge of mattic. But you
just got bumped down a little bit on the USF list.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Is Gallagher still alive?
Speaker 21 (40:13):
Gallagher has passed away.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Okay, three years ago he passed away. I'm talking about
active celebrities who were supporting South Florida Bulls. But thank
you Mikey.
Speaker 9 (40:24):
Yeah, let's say, doesn't Gallagher? Is it him or his brother?
Speaker 7 (40:27):
Because didn't get didn't Gallagher have that thing where he
was like the guy and then his brother stole his act.
Speaker 9 (40:33):
And started doing it on his own or something like that.
Speaker 7 (40:35):
There's some kind of tension there with the two of them,
and they were like, no, I'm the real Gallagher. I'm
the one that smashed this watermelons and they both did that.
I never quite got Gallagher. You know, it'd be like, Okay,
we're smashing pumpkins. We're smashing watermelons. Yeah, okay, heck yeah yeah.
Speaker 9 (40:52):
Let the pumpkins.
Speaker 7 (40:53):
You never every time I walk through a grocery store
and see a watermelon, I'm like, let's go smash it.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
One hour in the books already, we got two more
to go. We can do it. David carr On Loan
from NFL Network will stop by Fritzy's here, Seaton, Marv
