Find them online at Eastern Roofing dot com, where integrity
matters And Danny, you were supposed to keep your fat
mouth shut about I don't know five six weeks ago,
but you had to blab it. But I am now
told that we can start talking about the fact that.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
The holiday lights ah yes.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
To which I did not realize.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
What a horrible father I have been and how I
have wronged my children through the years. Because I mentioned
I said, hey, you know, the guys at Eastern Roofing
are gonna do holiday lighting.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Oh great, Dad, does that mean we can finally have
some Christmas lights around here?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
I was like, oh, how long you been colding around?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
WHOA?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Okay, so you know, I guess maybe I'll be client
number one being.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
At we're getting the Christmas lights.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
No, no, that, no, I'm number one.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well you can be number one, really.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Okay, that's what that as long as I'm number one
just because I needed to get people off my back
in my house, so I'll take it. But yeah, looking
forward to it hanging those crystal sightes because you know
what Tubby's.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Not going to do, Danny get up on a ladder.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That's right. I ain't going up.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I ain't going up for the roof, I ain't going
up for the gutter, I ain't going up of the siding,
and I ain't going up for the lighting either.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
So I went up about eight years ago to trim
a tree, and down I went, and I was really
lucky that I didn't get hurt. I hit my side
on a brick wall, but nothing really happened, and I said,
that is it.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Well, you have to have a heart.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
So you were.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
It turns out but I didn't break my ribs or anything.
I mean, but I was like, that could have been
a disaster. What is that.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I will get up on I will change a light
bulb in the garage. You'll change all light bulb. That's
that's it.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
That's a stable you know. This is sort of an
unstable situation, you know, as in the garden, you know,
get to have tree. You couldn't really plant it down
on the floor. I'm like, never again, never again, never again.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
L do it.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
They're experts, they know what they're doing. They do a
phenomenal job. Find them online at Easton Roofing dot com.
We find Danny Clinkscale right here, little Tennis, Danny, Little
afternoon Delight with the tennis. The men's semis Alcarez and Djokovic.
We're at commercial, so I assume Alcarez has finished off
Jokovic in the first set. It was barreling towards as
(04:21):
six four Alcarez first win.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
You love you some tennis.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
You love you love the way that tennis etiquette has
grown these days don't you.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Well, at our household, we are heavily invested in the tennis.
My wife loves the tennis. And when she's watching the
match and rooting for somebody, she has somebody to root for.
It's like an operatic. You know, I'll be upstairs watching
the royals or something. Oh no, oh my god, oh
why can't you do that?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
By the way, Danny's wife. If people don't know, this
is an opera singer. So even it is like beautiful music,
even when she, you know, bemoans a bad play in sports.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
And pitch, Oh oh no, it's in pitch. The vocal
phrasing is always perfect. Well.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
The other part is she has an opera singer's mentality
towards sports. How does that? That doesn't go over well?
Because an opera you just either hit the note or
you're screwed. It's not like you know, improvisation or in
rock you can change a riff or something. You just
gotta nail the note or your toast. So she's used
(05:27):
to that. She she demands perfection of the people she's watching,
you know, the how does that work? The other person's
on scholarship too, you know, there she they had to
run down. Alcarez is forehand in the corner. You know.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So this is this we find the difference here between
the opera. There's there's no one stuffing a sock in
your mouth. Will you try to hit that note? You know,
there's no compety. You get to just go ahead and
freely hit the note. You're not just banging tennis balls
against a wall here.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
But I I do love the tennis, but I have
been so I've watched a lot of tennis in the
last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Andrew, I love I love the Grand Slams, I love
the US.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Open, and I think the you know, I think John
McEnroe is probably the greatest color announcer in the history
of sports.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I think he is. He brings, you know, and he's
not one of these people who doesn't appreciate the modern
game and how great these people are and all that.
But the diva mentality of the top players is just brutal. Now,
you know, they have these gigantic teams their box.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
It's their box and they have By the way, the
box in the tennis world is like a room in the.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
NFL, the wide receiver room. Well, guy have my box,
which has got like ten people.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
They've got a psychologist and a massus and on and on.
But I'm sure people have seen this, but it's gotten
borderline off putting, like it's hard they you know, somebody says,
buries a forehand, what's.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Going on right now? Alcaraz is looking up and like that. Yeah,
they bury.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
They make a mistake. They make a mistake, and they
look up in their box like what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Like what can you what? Why did you make that
ball go into the net?
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Look like they're a video game and he's got the control. Yeah, there,
so it's bad. And then it's right across the board.
I think the women are usually a little bit worse,
but not much. I mean, right I turned around, alcohorrezm
was doing.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
It right to there. It's so perfect, just be just
knocked it out of the court. And then he looks
up in his box like what why'd you make me
hit the So anyway, but I do enjoy the play
and it's it's amazing. The only thing is, right now
we've gotten to a point where in the men's game
it does seem pretty inevitable right now on all surfaces that.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Right, So anyway, we'll see what Joe of It can
do here. But he got broke on his I think
it was his first service that he that he got broke.
And I was like, well, okay, there goes the first step.
But he drops the first set against everybody. But you
can't afford to drop any sets against Alcaraz or center.
So I do think this will probably end up. I'll
be honest with you. If it goes for I'll be pleased.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
And Alcarez Alcarez was already phenomenon, and now he just
decided to get all buff and in fantastic physical shape.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And he lost all his sleeves while he did it, too, and.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
He buzzed his cut. But he's got a buzz cut
and he looks like an MMA fighter now he looks.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
He does look like it give me welterweight champiers. He does. Yeah,
it it is. I do.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Your point about the box is great because they used
to not be able to communicate. That was the deal,
like the you know, you could be in the arena,
but you had to just sit there stoic, and so
sometimes they'd be over there looking at him or or
and I don't know if they they have some kind
of like oh if I scratch my nose sent me.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Well, we were talking about it last night, me and
my wife.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
And now now they can do it.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I said, they were doing stuff like that. And I
think the tennis people, you know, first they were giving them,
you know, they penalize them a point or you know,
warn them or whatever. And I think they eventually just
said there's no way to police this.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
You know, they said, they said they want to drink.
So let's just stop with this foolishness of prohibition.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Right, let's let it go.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I think, you know, you say that because you're you're
a tired old fart. But do you think I say
that jokingly just to take a shot, But but seriously,
do you think there is a little bit of It
adds flavor and color to the game, It adds personality
of the game like that. You know, you mentioned John Macovic.
They are so good they are mack and roll or
John McEnroe. Yeah he's good too. Yeah, he'd be terrible.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
He was terrible at tennis.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
John McEnroe, Yes, that he you know, there was flavor
with him, there was there was kind of fire, and
they with the exception of the Australian guy cry goes
u curios. With the exception of curios, they are all
kind of robotic, like they're so.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Had gotten to be robotic, Yeah, well they're just still
A Veterer was robotic, and so the best players were robotic.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
They were robotic because I think controlling your emotions is
important and repeating your delivery like in pitching is like
repeating your delivery on a serve and you know, calming
yourself down and not doing that kind of thing. And
so they went, well, I don't know if they'll maybe
they'll freak out at them like it gives us a
little flavor.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I think maybe they thought that would be the case.
But I think it's gone way, way too far, and
I just think it ends up making the player kind
of look foolish to me. But anyway, the tennis is
great and I enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
By the way, speaking of looking foolish, I want to
get your thoughts on this. We brought this up yesterday
with Blair Kirkoff and that was Mike Gundy's little smallest
violin playing for himself and the Woe is Me I
heard it and putting out that Oregon spent forty million
on their roster this year and Oklahoma State has spent
(11:00):
seven total over the last three years.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
I don't even know why i'd want to say that.
I agreed, you know, yes, it was it was the
wild West. There's some control of it now. He mentioned
now that we have revenue sharing, so he's acting like, okay,
it's better. And I think it was a bad system.
If you you know, if did you want it to
now become you know, the Premier League or something where
(11:26):
it's four teams or win every year or whatever. But
so at least there's some But you don't say that
if you were gonna you had the same opportunity, your
program had the same opportunity, and you once had a
multi billionaire who financed your program.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Well, that's what I said yesterday, was you know, you
used to be able to communicate with and win the
favor of your boosters. T Boon Pickens was willing to
pour at that time everything he could into the program.
The facilities are what you needed, he gave him to you. Right, Well,
you still need that communication with your boosters, and it's
(12:02):
clear to me he does not have that. He has
lost the confidence of the boosters or all their money
died with t boone Pickens, right, Which if that was
the case, then they shouldn't be in this league anyway,
because they're not good enough.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Like, if you don't have.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Money people behind you, then you can't play the highest
level of college football. And so there's no way that
what he is saying is a positive. Either Oklahoma State
is a moribund, dead program that has no money behind
it and so it is destined to make its way
to the Mountain West or Sun Belt or something like that,
or they have money and they're not going to give
(12:38):
it to him because they want him gone. And I
almost wonder does he want to be gone? And he's
halfway setting up the exit. I just fire me, pay
me off, and let me move on.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Right, you know, I've been here a long time. I'll
go play golf. And he doesn't strike me as somebody
who really is so desperate to coach that maybe I'm
wrong that he would just go coach it Louisiana or something, right,
you know, not Louisiana State, Louisiana. So I think we'll
have to see if you know, he really has put
(13:09):
himself in a position that he has to produce this
year because they were terrible last year, and I think
people are willing, you know, in some regards, he's making
an excuse, but there's no built in excuse anymore, because
you at least have a baseline of money that you
spend and that you have to spend. So it puts
he's just put more pressure on himself.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
By the way, I'm just going to say, you're going
to watch on Sports Center a brilliant point by Djokovic
and he may be making me shot up right away.
Watch this this little play right there, that little shot
up and over.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Banaka has no problem. I'm back, here's a good shot.
And then.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That was pretty good to your point. Sorry to take
you off track, but on Sports Center, you're going to
watch this little.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, I have to turn my head around.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You could watch, yeah, this little this little dig that
Djokovic pulls off which sends Outcras running, which he does.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
He gets so then they end up backballing. It's it's impressive.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So anyway, but yeah, I just you know, it's hard
to believe that what five six years ago his name
was being kicked around for LSU.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Well, he was a year in, year out overachiever. It
was what they had become that people wouldn't really think
they were going to be that good that year, and
they had to go head to head with the Oklahoma
and they were the Oklahoma's little, you know, step brother,
and they still produced. And for a few years there
it was head to head with the two of them
as top national powers. So yeah, and he had some
(14:34):
flare and you know, I'm forty, I'm a man and
all that stuff. So seemed like a leader of men,
stuck up for his pay. You know, that was a
speech in which he was sticking up for a player.
So yeah, he seemed to have a lot of things
going for him.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Well for so much.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Now, first of all, they you pick on me, I'm forty.
No one was really coming out of his player. I mean,
that was one of those straw man arguments to make
it look that way.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
But somebody had written a column about how the guy
didn't have enough guts or something like that. I mean,
it was a quarterback under was under fire.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I don't think so, but you might be right. I
really don't think so.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I really remember at the time of that going, look
if it fires his people up, great, but that's not
what the column was about.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
He took off.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
After the gull that used to write for The Star, right, Yeah,
And I think she had written something about like he
had had an up and down season. I think it
was just fair criticism of the player, and then he
you know, took it off like.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Ah, I think there was he took it as saying
that the person didn't have intestinal fortitude. I think was
what he thought the tenor of the column was, which
I agree he overreacted, but he was overreacting in defense
of his player. So a lot of all I was
saying is a lot of what the optics were pretty
good for him.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, the optics came away because people thought it was funny,
and they did. If you didn't dig in, you definitely
were like, oh wow, you know, stick it up for
his guy. We'll dig it out during But I do
just think it's like, you know, to me, it struck
me as how different things are between him and Lance Leipeld.
You know, Lancelipol just was part of an athletic program,
being the football coach.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
I don't know how much lancelipel had to do with
this a little.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Bit, none tons, but his relationships such that there's a
billionaire in his program that was happy to give three
hundred million dollars, seventy five of it to go directly
towards finishing the football stadium, two hundred and twenty five
of it to fund the athletic program moving forward.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You don't do that if you think the coach sucks.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
And also he did it he really sort of demanded
change with the way they did business at Kansas in
football without sounding demanding, you know, without he knew in
what way I mean he was saying you know, he
mentioned said flat out how we pressed he was that
I with Iowa States facilities when they went there talking
(16:53):
about lance lepel lance Leipol.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah, ok, I thought you were talking about David Booth.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
They went there for a road game and he openly
just said, well that's that we need to get to there,
you know. And but he said he did it in
a way that didn't seem like he was stopping his foot.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
No, But he made it clear because we we talked
about it when he said.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
It right that he yes, he made it clear that
he needed change, but he was doing it in the
in a way and he was also producing on the field,
improving his program, you know, And he did it in
the second year, suffered through her first year, wasn't moaning
and groaning about the state of it. Says, you know,
we have no excuses. We go out there, we do
our job. But lordy, lord, look at Iowa State. You know.
(17:35):
So he's been very impressive in every way. Now this
season is going to be probably an important turning point
maybe for them. He has another lackluster season, You're like,
you know, I don't doubt him in any way, but
you know, you after you just after you really got
better fast, and then if you sort of flatlined for
(17:56):
a couple of years, then people who are going to
you know, they're starting I'm not it's going to say
he's going to be on the hot seat or anything.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Well, did we ask you? We asked what gets him fired?
We asked for all three local coaches, what gets them fired?
What kicks the contract down the road? In other words,
you just turn the page and go to the next
year of the contract, and what gets them extended. What
do you think that would be for Lance Leipol.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I think he would have to do something besides lose
football games to get fired.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah, that was that was pretty much the.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Maybe winless but hey, we've seen a little.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
He's already that's already not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Right, that's true. I mean, I mean winless windless in
the conference. But so yeah, I don't think extension these days.
If you really, if you make a Bowl game, you
get an extension.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
It is it's pretty.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Pretty much what standard, what what happens.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
It's the cost of doing business, and and and we
and it like one of the things that I will
caution people. And I said this before, and I'll remind
people because we talked about it five or six weeks
ago when we did that as a topic. But it
does look like we're going to have quite a collection
of jobs that are opening up. And I think that's
going to happen for a while because you can't pile
twenty teams or eighteen and sixteen teams into the big
(19:06):
ten in the SEC and have all these programs go yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're happy with what we're getting.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Right.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Half of them are going to be pissed every year.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Somebody's got to lose.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
And other than Vanderbilt and Northwestern, who the rest of
them all think well, it shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Be us, right, and even it and Vanderbilt and Northwestern
have you know, gotten people in there who've done a
decent enough job that there's at least some expectation there.
People aren't thinking, well, this is impossible because it's been done. Yeah,
Vanderbilts had a couple of good seasons.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I do think we're entering a realm where and I
think we all agree that Ku and k State with
Climbing and Leipel have guys that might be there for
the long haul, right that, like, and even in their
age and their experiences where they came from, that they're
much more likely to be like, why do I need
the headache of you know, the expectations of Auburn for
(19:59):
fur years? You know, when I've got this here. But
but at some point I do wonder are the ACC
in the Big twelve going to turn into just the
next step like you just they're just constantly losing their
coaches to the SEC. Or do they turn into no, no,
this is where you really want to be. Yeah, they'll
pay you, you know, eleven millionaire and seven million, but
(20:22):
they'll fire you r and so you like moving the
family around, then go for it.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
I found most of the information on that I couldn't
find exactly what Jenny Carlson was the reporter.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Jenny carl said.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
It was September of two thousand and seven and they
had just gone to had just they'd benched their quarterback
Bobby Reid, who was the starter of most of six,
in favor of Zach Zach Robinson. Carlson wrote a column
about that in the Oklahoma and he thought it was
not very complimentary, was inaccurately portrayed. He believed that Reid
(20:55):
was better than she was saying, and he was unfairly
attacked by her, and that was that spurred his response.
He called the paper and its editor garbage in his
rent come after me. I'm a man, I'm forty.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
So, but you didn't. You didn't find the actual story.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
To find out what she actually said.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I remember Blair kirk Blair Kirkoff vehemently saying that I'm like,
I don't see what's wrong with that what she wrote
and anyway, but it is what it is. Let's take
a break down. I want to get too far behind.
We got a lot of chiefs to talk about Kum
you talk about k Saint Army, to talk about Danny

into big, expensive problems with a free roof inspection. Easternroofing

to twenty six.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Integrity matter.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
All right.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
The Nick and Jakes end of the hour answer, Nick
Siriani one of two active head coaches to be five
and zero in season openers. Who is the other?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Uh? Oh, I know the answer. We'll see if Danny
can get it. I read the same that.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
You had five and oh in openers first five?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Is that what they they?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
They're five and oherh openers. He is five and oh
he is five and oh one openers. Yes, that's an
important distinction because they right clearly, all all the teams
have many years. No team is undefeated, no team is
five years old. But this coach is five and oh.
Who'd say the other one was?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Nick Sirianni?
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Nick siriann probably been there longer than that now. But
how about Sean McVay.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Good, guess he has been in his current stop. This
is his second year at his current stop.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Oh, so he's been at two different places. Oh, how
about Jim Harborough.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
There you go, Danny Harpy, so proud of you. You're
all growed up, all growed up up.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
He grows up and he's growed up, growed up several
times over now.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
And didn't I see as An Andy?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
So he's five and oh, Syrian, he's five and oh,
and then after that, like read is like fourth or
fifth best winning percentage.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Or something like that, and over he's like sixteen and nine.
As that sound about right? No, he's got more than that.
That's about right? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
If I still have that page? I was looking over
some stuff last night.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The NFL has had a release with all these different
stats that I was going through for a pregame today,
and oh, I've got it on was why don't I
just open the stupid note I made with all the
with all the their kickoff guide.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Yeah, with all the crap on it.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
And he is, oh, no, seventeen and nine, Andy Reid
is seventeen and nine, and Opener's Jim Harbos five and
a four to in San Francisco, one in oh in
the Los.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Angeles sounds about what his regular winning percentage would be.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yeah, but he's nine and one. It was last ten.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
That's pretty nice.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Only lost being the one point lost at Detroit because
Kadarius Tony couldn't catch the.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Ball or else he'd be Cede Lamb decided to do
any pressure of him last night, couldn't.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Oh boy, that was not strong.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
What was your takeaway from the Eagles are they ready
to defend their title, or the.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
The first half Eagles of the second half Eagles.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, but I don't even know. The first half Eagles
didn't stop anybody.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Yeah, weird game, I thought.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I thought they looked like a team that didn't play
their best and still won. Okay, so to me and
and the Cowboys, I think are a good team. You know,
they just cowboys find a way to not quite get there.
But they usually have a good roster. They've drafted pretty well,
so I think, and I think they played well, and
(25:29):
they've got a very good quarterback. Great, but he's very
good when he's helped.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Do you think they find a way to not quite
get there because the owner.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Somehow preates that?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
How do How does the owner help? How does the.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Owner make them not quite get there? I think what
happens to the fourth quarter? They go like, oh, we're
playing pretty good, but Jerry's our owner.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
No, I think that. I think it creates a level
of anxiety around the team. That's fair constantly they I
think every game fair.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I think it sucks.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I think if you're if you're drafting exclusively mentally weak people,
that fold at the end.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
No, I mean they don't always lose the games at
the end, they just aren't quite as good as they
probably should be.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Well, you're not seeing through the obvious, Danny.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The obvious is I disagree with you, and you should
be looking for what is the right answer mine?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Yes, I just think that if you've got an owner
who is is the general manager also who's constantly.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Tching you're right, I think it contribute.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
And he also creates this weird balance of anxiety, too
much expectation. But also it's kind of a country club. Yes,
I mean the guys always pretty much except if they
piss you, you piss him off, end up getting paid.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
They get paid. He's your buddy. He wants to be
your buddy. He as much wants to be buddies with
the players as he does. I want to be successful.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Everything about the program is top notch. You know, the facilities,
everything else like that.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Hey, guys, I I agree. What I would add is
Dak Prescott's Alex Smith.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Right. Yeah, he's That's why I said, very good quarterback
when healthy, that's not great.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
And you know he never ever gets it done late
and closed. It looks like what it always did with
Alex Smith. And what happens Dak Prescott comes up short
and they blame Mike McCarthy. Then you know what's gonna happen.
He's gonna come up short. They're gonna blame Brian Schottenheimer.
It's like he just he's good. And when you're scheming
and and you don't have to worry about the clock
and you have the whole field and the whole playbook
(27:31):
because the clock's not going tick tick tick tick tick.
That the the huge defining different someone's quarterbacks is who
can do it? Who can throw it and throw it
successfully when the other team knows you have to throw.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
But for instance, and he can, But he's not one
if somebody came to if wanted to come to his defense.
I mean last night he made the throws.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
That's he made the He made throws, but he didn't
make more throws because I said this, I agree with you.
Last night was the night to build this on right
for sure, But like his you know where they end
up snapping the ball without the ref touching it or whatever,
and he runs.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Out of time. Oh and he ran. That happens.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
It happens all the time. That is what it usually happens,
And it's like what I remember sitting through with Alex
Smith and listening to everybody bitch about Andy Reid not
knowing how to handle the clock and he can't manage
the clock. And I'm like, can he not manage the clock?
Because I'm looking at a receiver eighteen yards down the
field and he took the one that's running at.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
The line of scrimmage and then.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Got three yards forward and was tackled in bounds. Is
that Andy Reid? He gave him a route out there?
You know, like you got to take that. You've got
to understand and Trent Green's talked about it, you know
where it's like, look, you got to understand the time
of the game, Like.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
We got to go. You know, we can't. You'd watch it.
Get the ball?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Okay, here the chisa are two fourteen and a timeout?
All right, here we go, Well one play underneath clock runs.
We're at the two minute morning and it's second and
having at your twenty six. Okay, then clock runs, clock runs.
Finally take a time out and all of sudden you
look at it. You're like you're the other team's forty
nine and there's thirty seven seconds he has gone twenty
(29:11):
five yards in two thirds of the time he had
on the clock and blown both stoppages of time. What
the f are we doing here? And that's what it
is with Dak Prescott all the time.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
But it reminded us of super old school. But I was,
you know, back back in the day when I was
a Cowboys fan and Roger Staubach he was fantastic at
the two minute drill. But one thing he did, like
first down, he knew that the other team played soft
every time. It was like a twenty four yard square
out to Drew Pearson on the first play and You're like,
(29:43):
we're in position already.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Well, that was that was Trent to Eddie Kennison too.
I mean, you know, Trent would let that thing fly.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
And that's the Holmes does that a lot too. There's
a big play right off the bat well.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
And that's why I'll go from the twenty five to
the fifty.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
I'm like, all right, now we're in business.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
And when everybody when he lost to Buffalo two years
ago and he threw the pick and everyone's like, I
can't believe you threw that pick, and I'm like, well,
but you don't watch because this is when he will
put it in harm's way.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Sam McDowell has has chronicled a lot about how he
has some of the lowest numbers about number of times
he will put the ball on a tight window and
for the most part, or in a contested catch. For
the most part, I celebrate that. Well, I mean, if
you can find a guy who's more open, send it
over there, right. But Sam's point has been that, like,
sometimes there isn't one of those guys. And so what
(30:33):
Patrick Mahomes will do is be like, Okay, let's buy
some more time. I'm going to get out of the pocket.
I'm going to evade. Let's see if I can, you know,
turn playground football, which is a term that was used
about him, which I celebrate Others like, oh, you're saying
he's no, you're saying he can make plays. Let it
break down and then I'll find it. And he does that,
and then Travis Kelsey will a lot of times work
(30:55):
himself high school wide open and he'll throw him in
the football. Well, I think it's important, especially moving forward,
for him to be able to go one, two, three
tight window because the legs are gonna go right, they
haven't gone yet, but they're gonna go.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Oh so he's he's got the arm strength to do it.
It's not like you have he has to have somebody
high school open.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
But but you know what you do have to do
as well, start giving him receivers that can go track
the ball. I mean, stop drafting guys on forty times.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Right, He's and I think that's an Andy Reid thing.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Constantly had small receivers, and I've also said that the Chiefs,
I guess it's an Andy Reid philosophy, never seem to
have had the Danny Amantola type, Wes Welker type of
third down you know, check down guy that's there available
all the time.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I think that's Kelsey.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Kind of. But he's been even more of a big
play type of guy. But I mean, you know, you catch,
you could have it, you could have a tight end
and you can't.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Absolutely that's fair, And I think they want to get those.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Bigger slot receivers. Been always more like Juju Smith Schuster type.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, but then their outside guy has Ben Deshaun Jackson. Right,
it's it's Xavier Worthy right now. And listen, I'm gonna
tell you this game if Lad McConkie goes and lights
up the d backfield like you cannot mention McCole Hardman.
Like if you walk into a bar in Kansas City
and go Mikole Hardman, the bar will turn around and
go DK metcalf Right, Well, it's gonna be the second verse.
(32:34):
Is gonna be Xavier Worthy, Lad McConkie, It's gonna be
the second verse if Xavier Worthy doesn't really take a
step forward this year. I mean, I'm and it's not
Brett Beach. Everyone hangs out on Brett Beach. I mean,
Brett Beach is the general manager. But Brett Beach gets
the groceries he's told to get. And if you're not
seeing the similarities and types, right, you know, if Andy
(32:56):
Reid was like, stop bringing me back these guys with
hot for forty times but are one hundred and seventy
five pounds, Rett Beach would come back with a two
hundred and twenty pound receiver. He doesn't. He comes back
with the guys that Andy sends him out to get.
And that's where I do think that Like, that's why
I think this year is really interesting because it's been
a couple of years of the defense being all caught up,
(33:19):
it's time for Andy Reid to take the next step.
Right when Andy Reid was flying high, I was really amazed.
I mean I really was dumb enough to buy in, Like, no,
this mahomes is so special and Reid so gets it
that they're just gonna put enough talent around him and
they are, you know, like he's gonna throw for forty
eight hundred yards or more every year. No, Andy Reid
(33:40):
was sitting there going, Oh, the defenses will catch up.
That's what they do. That's how this league works. Yeah,
I don't know, man, I think you got a special one.
I think you might be understanding yourself. But okay, we'll watch.
Well he was right, well, but you know what happens
that even sudn't catch up and then it stays. Then
the offense leaps forward again. Right, so let's go, let's
get the leap forward. And you know, we talked about
it James Palmer and Jeff Todeah because James Palmer was
(34:04):
in for Sam today on our Red Golden Bold and
we were talking about it, and we talked about, you know,
the one thing they haven't had for a while, and
maybe what the offenses need is they do need that
dynamic runner, dynamic running back not necessarily to run, but
to be the threat of catching it and running it.
The great offenses have a running back. When the Niners
(34:24):
are humming Christian McCaffrey, you might split him out and
run a route with him. You might run him out
of the back. He can do both. Like everyone's like, well,
they need a Jack McKinnon. I think they need a
Jack McKinnon plus and Isaiah pa check oh plus a
Kareem hunt They need one guy that can be a
threat to all things so that you can really pressure
the defense as it is now. Oh McKinnon's in. Okay,
let's put our light package in. Oh, Kareem huntson, let's
(34:46):
put our big package in. You know, I mean you
kind of telegraph what you're doing. Because they have not
been able to get that multi dimensional running back.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Well, I think that's going to be a big aspective
tonight's game and a thing we can judge about the division,
the chief season, everything else, because I think we've seen
the league till back more to wanting to run the football.
And if the Chargers come out and have the ball
for thirty six minutes and run the football on the Chiefs.
And the Chiefs you know, are playing their standard game
(35:14):
where you know they want to feature the pass and
Mahomes and rightly so whatever, but they don't run the
football at all. Then I think we'll say, well, you know,
there'll be questions raised in that regard.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
The other thing they're not doing is the teams that
are being successful at you know, offensively right now, they
get under center right, and the Chiefs are pretty much one.
And that I wonder is are they just because any
Reid came from an offense where they would get under center.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Is this just what Mahomes wants? No? No, I like
it back here in the shotgun. I don't want to
be under center.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I mean there are many people, you know, in that
generation of quarterback where Mahomes is, who spent their entire
life in the shotgun, and.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
It might be like, let's and if we want to
go to the next level, we've got to be able
to present this under center. I mean, I don't know,
We'll watch. I think I think it's great. We got
another season getting ready to go. Danny Clinkscale is great.

(37:21):
coming over to take a look at my setup. So
I can't wait. Maybe I can finally be whole in
the eyes of my children, who I did not realize
feel like their childhood has been harmed because Dad never
went for the Christmas lights.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
Dad, we finally respect you.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
An empty hole in their lives.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Yeah, their heart is not complete.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
So I thank Joe for coming to the rescue for
that yet again, the great Joe Spiker.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Now not that one of them doesn't live here anymore,
and that one's about to soon to take off, Like,
oh thanks Dad, great, yeah, show me a picture. Why
they go about to college you start fixing the lights. Nice.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
I was thinking, as soon as you go to school, honey,
we're going to get a pool.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
That's exactly what happened in my life. Sure, well, because
where it's built a pool? Because after I went to college, right.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
If they got rid of your assy, add enough money
for a pool.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
That's why I mean during that six hundred dollars a
semester I paid at KU.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
But that was it, man, that was that was the Killer,
Danny k U and mu what's its stake.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
I think there's a tremendous amount at stake for Missouri.
I think I think Kansas has kind of got a
house money game here. I think that the expectation is
not that they should go to Colombia win the game.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
I think they're better prepared for the game because they've
had they had a real football game and Missouri's said
less than glorified scrimmage. I still think Missouri should be
viewed as the better team. Although they lost a lot
of parts from last year. Kansas wasn't as good a
team and they lost a ton, so they're they're reconstructed.
(39:00):
I think that the line's right. I would probably favor
Missouri by about that much, and I would probably bet
on Missouri to cover the number. But I think that
the pressure there's a lot of pressure on Missouri in
this game. It would be a bad loss. You know,
it's a rivalry game. I think they're expected to win,
and I think it would be a and like I said,
(39:21):
I think they're going to be playing an opponent that
just can kind of freewheel it.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I think I think it's an opportunity for a. I
don't know what a reintroduction of Jalen Daniels to college
football if kay, you would go in and play big
bull be like.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
That guy was a top five, top ten Heisman Trophy
candidate preseason a couple of years ago. I think that's
what's the opportunity there for Jalen Daniels, right in.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
A year where after one week, Oklahoma's quarterback is the
Heisman Trophy favor.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Yeah, well yeah, I had I looked up with that.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
I was like who.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Yeah, I did too. I'd be like, who is that? Yeah,
I saw that as well.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Woods.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
But I I will say this as we'll see you
as a big week this week in the Heisman, right buddy.
But as far as this game goes, I do think
the list of games kind of sucks this week. This
is one of the best games. I mean, you know one,
they're both just outside the top twenty five. So knowledgeable
college football people will be like, oh, there are others
receiving votes both these teams, and so it's going to
(40:19):
be a game worth watching. And you know, if you impress,
you're going into the top.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Twenty feature game. It's the national ESPN radio game. I
know that Tom Ramsey who does the games on College
Game Day tomorrow, so it's a pretty high profile game.

The holiday lights ah yes.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
To which I did not realize.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
What a horrible father I have been and how I
have wronged my children through the years. Because I mentioned
I said, hey, you know, the guys at Eastern Roofing
are gonna do holiday lighting.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Oh great, Dad, does that mean we can finally have

Okay, so you know, I guess maybe I'll be client
number one being.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
At we're getting the Christmas lights.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
No, no, that, no, I'm number one.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well you can be number one, really.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Okay, that's what that as long as I'm number one
just because I needed to get people off my back
in my house, so I'll take it. But yeah, looking
forward to it hanging those crystal sightes because you know

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Not going to do, Danny get up on a ladder.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That's right. I ain't going up.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I ain't going up for the roof, I ain't going
up for the gutter, I ain't going up of the siding,
and I ain't going up for the lighting either.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
So I went up about eight years ago to trim
a tree, and down I went, and I was really
lucky that I didn't get hurt. I hit my side
on a brick wall, but nothing really happened, and I said,
that is it.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Well, you have to have a heart.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
So you were.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
It turns out but I didn't break my ribs or anything.
I mean, but I was like, that could have been
a disaster. What is that.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I will get up on I will change a light
bulb in the garage. You'll change all light bulb. That's
that's it.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
That's a stable you know. This is sort of an
unstable situation, you know, as in the garden, you know,
get to have tree. You couldn't really plant it down
on the floor. I'm like, never again, never again, never again.
Speaker 4 (03:59):

phenomenal job. Find them online at Easton Roofing dot com.
We find Danny Clinkscale right here, little Tennis, Danny, Little
afternoon Delight with the tennis. The men's semis Alcarez and Djokovic.
We're at commercial, so I assume Alcarez has finished off
Jokovic in the first set. It was barreling towards as
(04:21):
six four Alcarez first win.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
You love you some tennis.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
You love you love the way that tennis etiquette has
grown these days don't you.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Well, at our household, we are heavily invested in the tennis.
My wife loves the tennis. And when she's watching the
match and rooting for somebody, she has somebody to root for.
It's like an operatic. You know, I'll be upstairs watching
the royals or something. Oh no, oh my god, oh
why can't you do that?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
By the way, Danny's wife. If people don't know, this
is an opera singer. So even it is like beautiful music,
even when she, you know, bemoans a bad play in sports.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
And pitch, Oh oh no, it's in pitch. The vocal
phrasing is always perfect. Well.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
The other part is she has an opera singer's mentality
towards sports. How does that? That doesn't go over well?
Because an opera you just either hit the note or
you're screwed. It's not like you know, improvisation or in
rock you can change a riff or something. You just
gotta nail the note or your toast. So she's used
(05:27):
to that. She she demands perfection of the people she's watching,
you know, the how does that work? The other person's
on scholarship too, you know, there she they had to
run down. Alcarez is forehand in the corner. You know.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So this is this we find the difference here between
the opera. There's there's no one stuffing a sock in
your mouth. Will you try to hit that note? You know,
there's no compety. You get to just go ahead and
freely hit the note. You're not just banging tennis balls
against a wall here.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
But I I do love the tennis, but I have
been so I've watched a lot of tennis in the
last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Andrew, I love I love the Grand Slams, I love
the US.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Open, and I think the you know, I think John
McEnroe is probably the greatest color announcer in the history
of sports.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I think he is. He brings, you know, and he's
not one of these people who doesn't appreciate the modern
game and how great these people are and all that.
But the diva mentality of the top players is just brutal. Now,
you know, they have these gigantic teams their box.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
It's their box and they have By the way, the
box in the tennis world is like a room in the.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
NFL, the wide receiver room. Well, guy have my box,
which has got like ten people.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
They've got a psychologist and a massus and on and on.
But I'm sure people have seen this, but it's gotten
borderline off putting, like it's hard they you know, somebody says,
buries a forehand, what's.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Going on right now? Alcaraz is looking up and like that. Yeah,
they bury.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
They make a mistake. They make a mistake, and they
look up in their box like what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Like what can you what? Why did you make that
ball go into the net?
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Look like they're a video game and he's got the control. Yeah, there,
so it's bad. And then it's right across the board.
I think the women are usually a little bit worse,
but not much. I mean, right I turned around, alcohorrezm
was doing.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
It right to there. It's so perfect, just be just
knocked it out of the court. And then he looks
up in his box like what why'd you make me
hit the So anyway, but I do enjoy the play
and it's it's amazing. The only thing is, right now
we've gotten to a point where in the men's game
it does seem pretty inevitable right now on all surfaces that.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Right, So anyway, we'll see what Joe of It can
do here. But he got broke on his I think
it was his first service that he that he got broke.
And I was like, well, okay, there goes the first step.
But he drops the first set against everybody. But you
can't afford to drop any sets against Alcaraz or center.
So I do think this will probably end up. I'll
be honest with you. If it goes for I'll be pleased.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
And Alcarez Alcarez was already phenomenon, and now he just
decided to get all buff and in fantastic physical shape.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And he lost all his sleeves while he did it, too, and.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
He buzzed his cut. But he's got a buzz cut
and he looks like an MMA fighter now he looks.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
He does look like it give me welterweight champiers. He does. Yeah,
it it is. I do.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Your point about the box is great because they used
to not be able to communicate. That was the deal,
like the you know, you could be in the arena,
but you had to just sit there stoic, and so
sometimes they'd be over there looking at him or or
and I don't know if they they have some kind
of like oh if I scratch my nose sent me.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Well, we were talking about it last night, me and
my wife.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
And now now they can do it.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I said, they were doing stuff like that. And I
think the tennis people, you know, first they were giving them,
you know, they penalize them a point or you know,
warn them or whatever. And I think they eventually just
said there's no way to police this.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
You know, they said, they said they want to drink.
So let's just stop with this foolishness of prohibition.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Right, let's let it go.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I think, you know, you say that because you're you're
a tired old fart. But do you think I say
that jokingly just to take a shot, But but seriously,
do you think there is a little bit of It
adds flavor and color to the game, It adds personality
of the game like that. You know, you mentioned John Macovic.
They are so good they are mack and roll or
John McEnroe. Yeah he's good too. Yeah, he'd be terrible.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
He was terrible at tennis.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
John McEnroe, Yes, that he you know, there was flavor
with him, there was there was kind of fire, and
they with the exception of the Australian guy cry goes
u curios. With the exception of curios, they are all
kind of robotic, like they're so.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Had gotten to be robotic, Yeah, well they're just still
A Veterer was robotic, and so the best players were robotic.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
They were robotic because I think controlling your emotions is
important and repeating your delivery like in pitching is like
repeating your delivery on a serve and you know, calming
yourself down and not doing that kind of thing. And
so they went, well, I don't know if they'll maybe
they'll freak out at them like it gives us a
little flavor.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I think maybe they thought that would be the case.
But I think it's gone way, way too far, and
I just think it ends up making the player kind
of look foolish to me. But anyway, the tennis is
great and I enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
By the way, speaking of looking foolish, I want to
get your thoughts on this. We brought this up yesterday
with Blair Kirkoff and that was Mike Gundy's little smallest
violin playing for himself and the Woe is Me I
heard it and putting out that Oregon spent forty million
on their roster this year and Oklahoma State has spent
(11:00):
seven total over the last three years.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
I don't even know why i'd want to say that.
I agreed, you know, yes, it was it was the
wild West. There's some control of it now. He mentioned
now that we have revenue sharing, so he's acting like, okay,
it's better. And I think it was a bad system.
If you you know, if did you want it to
now become you know, the Premier League or something where
(11:26):
it's four teams or win every year or whatever. But
so at least there's some But you don't say that
if you were gonna you had the same opportunity, your
program had the same opportunity, and you once had a
multi billionaire who financed your program.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Well, that's what I said yesterday, was you know, you
used to be able to communicate with and win the
favor of your boosters. T Boon Pickens was willing to
pour at that time everything he could into the program.
The facilities are what you needed, he gave him to you. Right, Well,
you still need that communication with your boosters, and it's
(12:02):
clear to me he does not have that. He has
lost the confidence of the boosters or all their money
died with t boone Pickens, right, Which if that was
the case, then they shouldn't be in this league anyway,
because they're not good enough.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Like, if you don't have.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Money people behind you, then you can't play the highest
level of college football. And so there's no way that
what he is saying is a positive. Either Oklahoma State
is a moribund, dead program that has no money behind
it and so it is destined to make its way
to the Mountain West or Sun Belt or something like that,
or they have money and they're not going to give
(12:38):
it to him because they want him gone. And I
almost wonder does he want to be gone? And he's
halfway setting up the exit. I just fire me, pay
me off, and let me move on.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Right, you know, I've been here a long time. I'll
go play golf. And he doesn't strike me as somebody
who really is so desperate to coach that maybe I'm
wrong that he would just go coach it Louisiana or something, right,
you know, not Louisiana State, Louisiana. So I think we'll
have to see if you know, he really has put
(13:09):
himself in a position that he has to produce this
year because they were terrible last year, and I think
people are willing, you know, in some regards, he's making
an excuse, but there's no built in excuse anymore, because
you at least have a baseline of money that you
spend and that you have to spend. So it puts
he's just put more pressure on himself.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
By the way, I'm just going to say, you're going
to watch on Sports Center a brilliant point by Djokovic
and he may be making me shot up right away.
Watch this this little play right there, that little shot
up and over.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Banaka has no problem. I'm back, here's a good shot.
And then.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That was pretty good to your point. Sorry to take
you off track, but on Sports Center, you're going to
watch this little.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, I have to turn my head around.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You could watch, yeah, this little this little dig that
Djokovic pulls off which sends Outcras running, which he does.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
He gets so then they end up backballing. It's it's impressive.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So anyway, but yeah, I just you know, it's hard
to believe that what five six years ago his name
was being kicked around for LSU.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Well, he was a year in, year out overachiever. It
was what they had become that people wouldn't really think
they were going to be that good that year, and
they had to go head to head with the Oklahoma
and they were the Oklahoma's little, you know, step brother,
and they still produced. And for a few years there
it was head to head with the two of them
as top national powers. So yeah, and he had some
(14:34):
flare and you know, I'm forty, I'm a man and
all that stuff. So seemed like a leader of men,
stuck up for his pay. You know, that was a
speech in which he was sticking up for a player.
So yeah, he seemed to have a lot of things
going for him.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Well for so much.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Now, first of all, they you pick on me, I'm forty.
No one was really coming out of his player. I mean,
that was one of those straw man arguments to make
it look that way.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
But somebody had written a column about how the guy
didn't have enough guts or something like that. I mean,
it was a quarterback under was under fire.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I don't think so, but you might be right. I
really don't think so.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I really remember at the time of that going, look
if it fires his people up, great, but that's not
what the column was about.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
He took off.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
After the gull that used to write for The Star, right, Yeah,
And I think she had written something about like he
had had an up and down season. I think it
was just fair criticism of the player, and then he
you know, took it off like.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Ah, I think there was he took it as saying
that the person didn't have intestinal fortitude. I think was
what he thought the tenor of the column was, which
I agree he overreacted, but he was overreacting in defense
of his player. So a lot of all I was
saying is a lot of what the optics were pretty
good for him.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, the optics came away because people thought it was funny,
and they did. If you didn't dig in, you definitely
were like, oh wow, you know, stick it up for
his guy. We'll dig it out during But I do
just think it's like, you know, to me, it struck
me as how different things are between him and Lance Leipeld.
You know, Lancelipol just was part of an athletic program,
being the football coach.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
I don't know how much lancelipel had to do with
this a little.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Bit, none tons, but his relationships such that there's a
billionaire in his program that was happy to give three
hundred million dollars, seventy five of it to go directly
towards finishing the football stadium, two hundred and twenty five
of it to fund the athletic program moving forward.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You don't do that if you think the coach sucks.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
And also he did it he really sort of demanded
change with the way they did business at Kansas in
football without sounding demanding, you know, without he knew in
what way I mean he was saying you know, he
mentioned said flat out how we pressed he was that
I with Iowa States facilities when they went there talking
(16:53):
about lance lepel lance Leipol.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah, ok, I thought you were talking about David Booth.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
They went there for a road game and he openly
just said, well that's that we need to get to there,
you know. And but he said he did it in
a way that didn't seem like he was stopping his foot.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
No, But he made it clear because we we talked
about it when he said.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
It right that he yes, he made it clear that
he needed change, but he was doing it in the
in a way and he was also producing on the field,
improving his program, you know, And he did it in
the second year, suffered through her first year, wasn't moaning
and groaning about the state of it. Says, you know,
we have no excuses. We go out there, we do
our job. But lordy, lord, look at Iowa State. You know.
(17:35):
So he's been very impressive in every way. Now this
season is going to be probably an important turning point
maybe for them. He has another lackluster season, You're like,
you know, I don't doubt him in any way, but
you know, you after you just after you really got
better fast, and then if you sort of flatlined for
(17:56):
a couple of years, then people who are going to
you know, they're starting I'm not it's going to say
he's going to be on the hot seat or anything.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Well, did we ask you? We asked what gets him fired?
We asked for all three local coaches, what gets them fired?
What kicks the contract down the road? In other words,
you just turn the page and go to the next
year of the contract, and what gets them extended. What
do you think that would be for Lance Leipol.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I think he would have to do something besides lose
football games to get fired.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah, that was that was pretty much the.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Maybe winless but hey, we've seen a little.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
He's already that's already not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Right, that's true. I mean, I mean winless windless in
the conference. But so yeah, I don't think extension these days.
If you really, if you make a Bowl game, you
get an extension.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
It is it's pretty.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Pretty much what standard, what what happens.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
It's the cost of doing business, and and and we
and it like one of the things that I will
caution people. And I said this before, and I'll remind
people because we talked about it five or six weeks
ago when we did that as a topic. But it
does look like we're going to have quite a collection
of jobs that are opening up. And I think that's
going to happen for a while because you can't pile
twenty teams or eighteen and sixteen teams into the big
(19:06):
ten in the SEC and have all these programs go yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're happy with what we're getting.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Right.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Half of them are going to be pissed every year.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Somebody's got to lose.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
And other than Vanderbilt and Northwestern, who the rest of
them all think well, it shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Be us, right, and even it and Vanderbilt and Northwestern
have you know, gotten people in there who've done a
decent enough job that there's at least some expectation there.
People aren't thinking, well, this is impossible because it's been done. Yeah,
Vanderbilts had a couple of good seasons.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I do think we're entering a realm where and I
think we all agree that Ku and k State with
Climbing and Leipel have guys that might be there for
the long haul, right that, like, and even in their
age and their experiences where they came from, that they're
much more likely to be like, why do I need
the headache of you know, the expectations of Auburn for
(19:59):
fur years? You know, when I've got this here. But
but at some point I do wonder are the ACC
in the Big twelve going to turn into just the
next step like you just they're just constantly losing their
coaches to the SEC. Or do they turn into no, no,
this is where you really want to be. Yeah, they'll
pay you, you know, eleven millionaire and seven million, but
(20:22):
they'll fire you r and so you like moving the
family around, then go for it.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
I found most of the information on that I couldn't
find exactly what Jenny Carlson was the reporter.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Jenny carl said.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
It was September of two thousand and seven and they
had just gone to had just they'd benched their quarterback
Bobby Reid, who was the starter of most of six,
in favor of Zach Zach Robinson. Carlson wrote a column
about that in the Oklahoma and he thought it was
not very complimentary, was inaccurately portrayed. He believed that Reid
(20:55):
was better than she was saying, and he was unfairly
attacked by her, and that was that spurred his response.
He called the paper and its editor garbage in his
rent come after me. I'm a man, I'm forty.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
So, but you didn't. You didn't find the actual story.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
To find out what she actually said.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I remember Blair kirk Blair Kirkoff vehemently saying that I'm like,
I don't see what's wrong with that what she wrote
and anyway, but it is what it is. Let's take
a break down. I want to get too far behind.
We got a lot of chiefs to talk about Kum

Speaker 3 (22:34):
All right.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
The Nick and Jakes end of the hour answer, Nick
Siriani one of two active head coaches to be five
and zero in season openers. Who is the other?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Uh? Oh, I know the answer. We'll see if Danny
can get it. I read the same that.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
You had five and oh in openers first five?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Is that what they they?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
They're five and oherh openers. He is five and oh
he is five and oh one openers. Yes, that's an
important distinction because they right clearly, all all the teams
have many years. No team is undefeated, no team is
five years old. But this coach is five and oh.
Who'd say the other one was?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Nick Sirianni?
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Nick siriann probably been there longer than that now. But
how about Sean McVay.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Good, guess he has been in his current stop. This
is his second year at his current stop.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Oh, so he's been at two different places. Oh, how
about Jim Harborough.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
There you go, Danny Harpy, so proud of you. You're
all growed up, all growed up up.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
He grows up and he's growed up, growed up several
times over now.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
And didn't I see as An Andy?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
So he's five and oh, Syrian, he's five and oh,
and then after that, like read is like fourth or
fifth best winning percentage.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Or something like that, and over he's like sixteen and nine.
As that sound about right? No, he's got more than that.
That's about right? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
If I still have that page? I was looking over
some stuff last night.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The NFL has had a release with all these different
stats that I was going through for a pregame today,
and oh, I've got it on was why don't I
just open the stupid note I made with all the
with all the their kickoff guide.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Yeah, with all the crap on it.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
And he is, oh, no, seventeen and nine, Andy Reid
is seventeen and nine, and Opener's Jim Harbos five and
a four to in San Francisco, one in oh in
the Los.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Angeles sounds about what his regular winning percentage would be.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yeah, but he's nine and one. It was last ten.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
That's pretty nice.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Only lost being the one point lost at Detroit because
Kadarius Tony couldn't catch the.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Ball or else he'd be Cede Lamb decided to do
any pressure of him last night, couldn't.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Oh boy, that was not strong.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
What was your takeaway from the Eagles are they ready
to defend their title, or the.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
The first half Eagles of the second half Eagles.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, but I don't even know. The first half Eagles
didn't stop anybody.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Yeah, weird game, I thought.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I thought they looked like a team that didn't play
their best and still won. Okay, so to me and
and the Cowboys, I think are a good team. You know,
they just cowboys find a way to not quite get there.
But they usually have a good roster. They've drafted pretty well,
so I think, and I think they played well, and
(25:29):
they've got a very good quarterback. Great, but he's very
good when he's helped.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Do you think they find a way to not quite
get there because the owner.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Somehow preates that?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
How do How does the owner help? How does the.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Owner make them not quite get there? I think what
happens to the fourth quarter? They go like, oh, we're
playing pretty good, but Jerry's our owner.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
No, I think that. I think it creates a level
of anxiety around the team. That's fair constantly they I
think every game fair.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I think it sucks.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I think if you're if you're drafting exclusively mentally weak people,
that fold at the end.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
No, I mean they don't always lose the games at
the end, they just aren't quite as good as they
probably should be.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Well, you're not seeing through the obvious, Danny.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The obvious is I disagree with you, and you should
be looking for what is the right answer mine?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Yes, I just think that if you've got an owner
who is is the general manager also who's constantly.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Tching you're right, I think it contribute.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
And he also creates this weird balance of anxiety, too
much expectation. But also it's kind of a country club. Yes,
I mean the guys always pretty much except if they
piss you, you piss him off, end up getting paid.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
They get paid. He's your buddy. He wants to be
your buddy. He as much wants to be buddies with
the players as he does. I want to be successful.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Everything about the program is top notch. You know, the facilities,
everything else like that.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Hey, guys, I I agree. What I would add is
Dak Prescott's Alex Smith.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Right. Yeah, he's That's why I said, very good quarterback
when healthy, that's not great.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
And you know he never ever gets it done late
and closed. It looks like what it always did with
Alex Smith. And what happens Dak Prescott comes up short
and they blame Mike McCarthy. Then you know what's gonna happen.
He's gonna come up short. They're gonna blame Brian Schottenheimer.
It's like he just he's good. And when you're scheming
and and you don't have to worry about the clock
and you have the whole field and the whole playbook
(27:31):
because the clock's not going tick tick tick tick tick.
That the the huge defining different someone's quarterbacks is who
can do it? Who can throw it and throw it
successfully when the other team knows you have to throw.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
But for instance, and he can, But he's not one
if somebody came to if wanted to come to his defense.
I mean last night he made the throws.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
That's he made the He made throws, but he didn't
make more throws because I said this, I agree with you.
Last night was the night to build this on right
for sure, But like his you know where they end
up snapping the ball without the ref touching it or whatever,
and he runs.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Out of time. Oh and he ran. That happens.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
It happens all the time. That is what it usually happens,
And it's like what I remember sitting through with Alex
Smith and listening to everybody bitch about Andy Reid not
knowing how to handle the clock and he can't manage
the clock. And I'm like, can he not manage the clock?
Because I'm looking at a receiver eighteen yards down the
field and he took the one that's running at.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
The line of scrimmage and then.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Got three yards forward and was tackled in bounds. Is
that Andy Reid? He gave him a route out there?
You know, like you got to take that. You've got
to understand and Trent Green's talked about it, you know
where it's like, look, you got to understand the time
of the game, Like.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
We got to go. You know, we can't. You'd watch it.
Get the ball?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Okay, here the chisa are two fourteen and a timeout?
All right, here we go, Well one play underneath clock runs.
We're at the two minute morning and it's second and
having at your twenty six. Okay, then clock runs, clock runs.
Finally take a time out and all of sudden you
look at it. You're like you're the other team's forty
nine and there's thirty seven seconds he has gone twenty
(29:11):
five yards in two thirds of the time he had
on the clock and blown both stoppages of time. What
the f are we doing here? And that's what it
is with Dak Prescott all the time.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
But it reminded us of super old school. But I was,
you know, back back in the day when I was
a Cowboys fan and Roger Staubach he was fantastic at
the two minute drill. But one thing he did, like
first down, he knew that the other team played soft
every time. It was like a twenty four yard square
out to Drew Pearson on the first play and You're like,
(29:43):
we're in position already.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Well, that was that was Trent to Eddie Kennison too.
I mean, you know, Trent would let that thing fly.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
And that's the Holmes does that a lot too. There's
a big play right off the bat well.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
And that's why I'll go from the twenty five to
the fifty.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
I'm like, all right, now we're in business.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
And when everybody when he lost to Buffalo two years
ago and he threw the pick and everyone's like, I
can't believe you threw that pick, and I'm like, well,
but you don't watch because this is when he will
put it in harm's way.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Sam McDowell has has chronicled a lot about how he
has some of the lowest numbers about number of times
he will put the ball on a tight window and
for the most part, or in a contested catch. For
the most part, I celebrate that. Well, I mean, if
you can find a guy who's more open, send it
over there, right. But Sam's point has been that, like,
sometimes there isn't one of those guys. And so what
(30:33):
Patrick Mahomes will do is be like, Okay, let's buy
some more time. I'm going to get out of the pocket.
I'm going to evade. Let's see if I can, you know,
turn playground football, which is a term that was used
about him, which I celebrate Others like, oh, you're saying
he's no, you're saying he can make plays. Let it
break down and then I'll find it. And he does that,
and then Travis Kelsey will a lot of times work
(30:55):
himself high school wide open and he'll throw him in
the football. Well, I think it's important, especially moving forward,
for him to be able to go one, two, three
tight window because the legs are gonna go right, they
haven't gone yet, but they're gonna go.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Oh so he's he's got the arm strength to do it.
It's not like you have he has to have somebody
high school open.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
But but you know what you do have to do
as well, start giving him receivers that can go track
the ball. I mean, stop drafting guys on forty times.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Right, He's and I think that's an Andy Reid thing.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Constantly had small receivers, and I've also said that the Chiefs,
I guess it's an Andy Reid philosophy, never seem to
have had the Danny Amantola type, Wes Welker type of
third down you know, check down guy that's there available
all the time.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I think that's Kelsey.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Kind of. But he's been even more of a big
play type of guy. But I mean, you know, you catch,
you could have it, you could have a tight end
and you can't.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Absolutely that's fair, And I think they want to get those.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Bigger slot receivers. Been always more like Juju Smith Schuster type.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, but then their outside guy has Ben Deshaun Jackson. Right,
it's it's Xavier Worthy right now. And listen, I'm gonna
tell you this game if Lad McConkie goes and lights
up the d backfield like you cannot mention McCole Hardman.
Like if you walk into a bar in Kansas City
and go Mikole Hardman, the bar will turn around and
go DK metcalf Right, Well, it's gonna be the second verse.
(32:34):
Is gonna be Xavier Worthy, Lad McConkie, It's gonna be
the second verse if Xavier Worthy doesn't really take a
step forward this year. I mean, I'm and it's not
Brett Beach. Everyone hangs out on Brett Beach. I mean,
Brett Beach is the general manager. But Brett Beach gets
the groceries he's told to get. And if you're not
seeing the similarities and types, right, you know, if Andy
(32:56):
Reid was like, stop bringing me back these guys with
hot for forty times but are one hundred and seventy
five pounds, Rett Beach would come back with a two
hundred and twenty pound receiver. He doesn't. He comes back
with the guys that Andy sends him out to get.
And that's where I do think that Like, that's why
I think this year is really interesting because it's been
a couple of years of the defense being all caught up,
(33:19):
it's time for Andy Reid to take the next step.
Right when Andy Reid was flying high, I was really amazed.
I mean I really was dumb enough to buy in, Like, no,
this mahomes is so special and Reid so gets it
that they're just gonna put enough talent around him and
they are, you know, like he's gonna throw for forty
eight hundred yards or more every year. No, Andy Reid
(33:40):
was sitting there going, Oh, the defenses will catch up.
That's what they do. That's how this league works. Yeah,
I don't know, man, I think you got a special one.
I think you might be understanding yourself. But okay, we'll watch.
Well he was right, well, but you know what happens
that even sudn't catch up and then it stays. Then
the offense leaps forward again. Right, so let's go, let's
get the leap forward. And you know, we talked about
it James Palmer and Jeff Todeah because James Palmer was
(34:04):
in for Sam today on our Red Golden Bold and
we were talking about it, and we talked about, you know,
the one thing they haven't had for a while, and
maybe what the offenses need is they do need that
dynamic runner, dynamic running back not necessarily to run, but
to be the threat of catching it and running it.
The great offenses have a running back. When the Niners
(34:24):
are humming Christian McCaffrey, you might split him out and
run a route with him. You might run him out
of the back. He can do both. Like everyone's like, well,
they need a Jack McKinnon. I think they need a
Jack McKinnon plus and Isaiah pa check oh plus a
Kareem hunt They need one guy that can be a
threat to all things so that you can really pressure
the defense as it is now. Oh McKinnon's in. Okay,
let's put our light package in. Oh, Kareem huntson, let's
(34:46):
put our big package in. You know, I mean you
kind of telegraph what you're doing. Because they have not
been able to get that multi dimensional running back.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Well, I think that's going to be a big aspective
tonight's game and a thing we can judge about the division,
the chief season, everything else, because I think we've seen
the league till back more to wanting to run the football.
And if the Chargers come out and have the ball
for thirty six minutes and run the football on the Chiefs.
And the Chiefs you know, are playing their standard game
(35:14):
where you know they want to feature the pass and
Mahomes and rightly so whatever, but they don't run the
football at all. Then I think we'll say, well, you know,
there'll be questions raised in that regard.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
The other thing they're not doing is the teams that
are being successful at you know, offensively right now, they
get under center right, and the Chiefs are pretty much one.
And that I wonder is are they just because any
Reid came from an offense where they would get under center.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Is this just what Mahomes wants? No? No, I like
it back here in the shotgun. I don't want to
be under center.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I mean there are many people, you know, in that
generation of quarterback where Mahomes is, who spent their entire
life in the shotgun, and.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
It might be like, let's and if we want to
go to the next level, we've got to be able
to present this under center. I mean, I don't know,
We'll watch. I think I think it's great. We got
another season getting ready to go. Danny Clinkscale is great.

coming over to take a look at my setup. So
I can't wait. Maybe I can finally be whole in
the eyes of my children, who I did not realize
feel like their childhood has been harmed because Dad never
went for the Christmas lights.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
Dad, we finally respect you.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
An empty hole in their lives.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Yeah, their heart is not complete.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
So I thank Joe for coming to the rescue for
that yet again, the great Joe Spiker.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Now not that one of them doesn't live here anymore,
and that one's about to soon to take off, Like,
oh thanks Dad, great, yeah, show me a picture. Why
they go about to college you start fixing the lights. Nice.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
I was thinking, as soon as you go to school, honey,
we're going to get a pool.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
That's exactly what happened in my life. Sure, well, because
where it's built a pool? Because after I went to college, right.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
If they got rid of your assy, add enough money
for a pool.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
That's why I mean during that six hundred dollars a
semester I paid at KU.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
But that was it, man, that was that was the Killer,
Danny k U and mu what's its stake.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
I think there's a tremendous amount at stake for Missouri.
I think I think Kansas has kind of got a
house money game here. I think that the expectation is
not that they should go to Colombia win the game.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
I think they're better prepared for the game because they've
had they had a real football game and Missouri's said
less than glorified scrimmage. I still think Missouri should be
viewed as the better team. Although they lost a lot
of parts from last year. Kansas wasn't as good a
team and they lost a ton, so they're they're reconstructed.
(39:00):
I think that the line's right. I would probably favor
Missouri by about that much, and I would probably bet
on Missouri to cover the number. But I think that
the pressure there's a lot of pressure on Missouri in
this game. It would be a bad loss. You know,
it's a rivalry game. I think they're expected to win,
and I think it would be a and like I said,
(39:21):
I think they're going to be playing an opponent that
just can kind of freewheel it.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I think I think it's an opportunity for a. I
don't know what a reintroduction of Jalen Daniels to college
football if kay, you would go in and play big
bull be like.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
That guy was a top five, top ten Heisman Trophy
candidate preseason a couple of years ago. I think that's
what's the opportunity there for Jalen Daniels, right in.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
A year where after one week, Oklahoma's quarterback is the
Heisman Trophy favor.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Yeah, well yeah, I had I looked up with that.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
I was like who.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Yeah, I did too. I'd be like, who is that? Yeah,
I saw that as well.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Woods.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
But I I will say this as we'll see you
as a big week this week in the Heisman, right buddy.
But as far as this game goes, I do think
the list of games kind of sucks this week. This
is one of the best games. I mean, you know one,
they're both just outside the top twenty five. So knowledgeable
college football people will be like, oh, there are others
receiving votes both these teams, and so it's going to
(40:19):
be a game worth watching. And you know, if you impress,
you're going into the top.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Twenty feature game. It's the national ESPN radio game. I
know that Tom Ramsey who does the games on College
Game Day tomorrow, so it's a pretty high profile game.
