It is that time again on the Shan O'Connell Show

a couple weeks since we've had a conversation with Devin

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Are you sir doing good? How are you tell me
how the bye week was?

Speaker 4 (01:03):
What you do with Arizona? Seeing my parents? See my
younger brother just got to spend that quality time with them.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Nice little reset when you get to do that in season.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's football is a grind. It's
one of those sports you know, you don't really focus
on too much more than just football. So just to
have that breakaway was pretty nice.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well, I'm gonna have to apologize in advance because I
know you have moved on many many days now, but
we haven't got a chance to catch up on the
Cincinnati game.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
You did it.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
You shoot the monkey off the back, the college game Day,
big noon kickoff, all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
The people here were so superstitious about you.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Guys went out and you blew out the Cincinnati Bearcats,
who at the time were ranked seventeen. I do think
they're still a good team. The College Football Playoff Committee
thinks they're a good team.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Forty five fourteen.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
A complete offensive, defensive, special teams performance by your squad.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
How did it feel?

Speaker 4 (01:59):
It felt great. You know again, we've been preaching that
to our team, to play as one and just go
out there, you know, play with no regrets, make sure
you know you leave everything on that field, and you know,
I thought we did a great job.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
But of that last week, was that your best game
as you? Statistically it wasn't your best game as you,
but you made like really timely plays, big plays when
it mattered. And there were a lot of people who
came away and said, oh man, it's really good to
see dev back healthy and playing like that. Did you
feel like it was at least up there is one

(02:31):
of your best games?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
I think just I don't know, I got a hard
time grade myself. I'm a really tough grader on myself now.
I just thought Lou went out there. I think my
teammate told me a lot. Also, just the way we
came out as a group, it does make my job easier.
And the other ten guys are playing pretty lights out.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
So one of those guys that was playing lights out, well,
there's a couple. We'll get to all of them. Your guy,
Ryan Davis Ardy. We've talked about him plenty in these conversations.
Eight catches, one hundred and thirty two yards and a touchdown,
and I think, finally, more than what we're three quarters
the way through the season, finally people are starting to
put a little bit of respect on his name, like, oh,

(03:12):
he's not just like he tries hard, he's a fun
little story, came up from New Mexico. He's like a
top five receiver in the league right now.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, no, I'm happy he's in their respect because, yeah,
he's a baller. You know, you look at him. A
lot of people are, you know, they're big on physicals,
how tall, how strong, and this and that. Ryan's one
of those guys. You know, obviously he doesn't have that
one exactly when you look at him, but just the
way he plays on that field, the swagger, the control,

(03:41):
just everything he does on that field is you know,
I love it.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Way Shan another one hundred yard game for him, six
yards of carry and a touchdown in this one, seventeen
for one hundred and four against a Cincinnati defense that
was like solid against the run, not one of the
best teams in the Big twelve against the run. But
I think, maybe more importantly for me, the running back
room got a little more crowded with the emergence of

(04:06):
Daniel Bray and it's like maybe ignited a fire a
little bit because coach Witt even said in the press conference, yeah,
like we now have a running back. Number one came
into the year first five six games of the year,
it was like by committee, let's see who emerges, and
whether it was because of Bray or whatever else, way,
Shawn has really separated himself.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, for sure. You know, I think just they getting
that grind and you know, just the first time in
this offense. I think he's got to a point where,
you know, he starts to feel comfortable. And I mean,
when your trust is up there, when you're doing good stuff,
you know, you keep getting the ball. And I think
he knows, you know, if if he keeps balling out there,

(04:46):
you're going to keep touching the ball. And think that's
just more motivation for him.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
How much did you clown on Smith's noden for getting
an interception and then fumbling the interception?

Speaker 4 (04:54):
But I got on a righted halftime. He was throwing
me at halftime the warm up. I was like, bro,
you've played offense before, like you fumbling the ball and stuff. Bro.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh, I know that one hurt him, but still look great, play,
great game, you all smash Cincinnati and it for the
fan base, it kind of reignited a lot of optimism,
a lot of passion, like, oh my gosh, this really
is a good team. And obviously then you head into
a bye week with a home stretch of three games,
you only get to focus on the one. Was still

(05:28):
a lot to play for, right, I mean seven and two?
How much is the College Football Playoff Committee rankings like
a part of conversation in the locker room because I
know you guys are trying to focus on what's in
front of you, but that's the thing that matters. That's like,
that's one of the stated goals of this coaching staff.
Let's make this college football playoff And you're right.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
There, Yeah, you know that there's no way for us
to ignore it. We don't overly talk about it, but
obviously our goal is to get in the playoffs, so
you know that that's bob matters. But we don't get
there unless we handle our part each and every week.
So I mean, that's what comes first, But for sure,
you know that's always in the back of our mind
because we do want to make playoffs.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Does it feel accessible?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I mean, when you see your name at thirteen and
obviously it's a twelve team playoff and knowing that you've
got an opportunity with some very winnable games, does it
feel like, oh, if we do what you just said.
If we do handle our business, then we're at least
in that conversation at the end of the year.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. We're just upset though. You know,
we made it where we need other people to help
us out. Yeah. I hate to be in that position,
but you know, we think things are going to fall
in place for us. But yeah, again, we got to
handle We gotta handle our stuff first.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't want to get too all over the place here,
but I want to talk a little bit more about
the Cincinnati game.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
So I was watching as a fan.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Our guy Eric Weddle was in town, so I was
sitting with him and we were just hanging out, having fun.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
And you know, it's different to be in the stands.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I usually watch from the Sideline's different to be in
the stands, get different angles on things.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
We were having this conversation.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
He's a coach, obviously, he played in the league for
a very long time. We were having the conversation about
the deep passing game for your offense, and I know
it's something that everyone has stated they want to get
better at. Coaches always say we want to be better
with the downfield threats. Against Cincinnati, there were some that
were really good, you know, explosive plays, and there were
a couple that a couple of throws or whatever that

(07:24):
you know, I don't know if there was a route situation,
a timing situation, And we got into that that talk
while we were sitting there watching. There is the arm
strength conversation, the actual like mechanics of the throw, and
then there's the timing right and you know this way
better than me at playing the position. When a ball
gets underthrown or a ball gets thrown like where you

(07:47):
don't catch somebody perfectly in stride when you go back
and watch it on film, is it more of a
timing thing? Is it more of a I didn't see
him at the right juncture in his route, Like, explain
for me when you want that throwback, why it happens
that way?

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah? Sometimes, uh yeah, sometimes the ball just didn't doesn't
go where I exactly wanted to go. But uh, there's
also another point where depending on who's out there, you know,
for me, Jj and Dollen, you know, those are tall,
really physical guys, so when you underthrow them a little bit,
it gives them a chance to gaut of their feet

(08:24):
and jump for it. And normally the dvs are the
runner pretty full speed at them, so sure pis donal
get called during that time, kind of get the best
of both. For us, it is really gonna be a
PI or a catch. So yeah, just depending on who
you're throwing too is just kind of dictates how I
put it up there.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's probably an annoying question, but the reason I ask
it is because when we're sitting there watching, none of
us have played the position at that higher level. Right,
you think that it should just be an easy thing. Oh,
he's you know, a step behind the dB. Let's put
that thing sixty yards through the air, right Like everyone
acts like it's a simple thing. I I I think
that the timing of it matters just as much as

(09:02):
having a big arm or whatever else. But I want
to give a quarterback an opportunity to explain what he
sees and what he does.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah, yeah, it's kind of investigating to explain it, to
be honest.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah that's fair. But yeah, all right, so.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
You get this dominant win over Cincinnati, and I think
for the most part, everyone's healthy. Kyle Whittingham said that
in the press conference there was a scary moment for
fans in that game where Spencerfano gets carried into the
blue tent, they cover him up on the sideline. When
you guys, are you know, on the sideline in the

(09:39):
huddle whatever, what's that like when you're like, Okay, I
hope he's good. And he came back in the game
and he finished out the game, so you know, knock
on wood, it's all. But give me your sense of
a moment like that when one of the best guys
on this team goes down, even temporarily.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yeah, yeah, I mean again, he's a big part of
our offense. Obviously, He's one of energetic guys. So just
know you uh, Like in my head, I'm like, okay,
I gotta I gotta kind of fill his spot in,
like I gotta bring that to our offense till but
Spencer is one of the toughest guys. I know. He
came in a sign He's like I got you, Dev

(10:15):
I'll be right back, like just stuff like that, like, uh,
you know, you know he's hurting, but uh, you know
the fact he's going out there and he puts his
body on the line for me. Uh yeah, I just
love that guy.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
For uh Devin damn Pierce, our guest. Here a dish
with dev brought to you by Culigan Water of Salt
Lake City. Taste the Culagan Difference, America First Credit Union,
poly Lift, Concrete lifting and peering, and a r UP
Blood Services, Give Local, Save Local. All right, So turning
the page, you get through the bye week. Uh, it's
three days of practice during the bye week and then

(10:49):
they give you the weekend off.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Is that how it works?

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yep? Yep, same day, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, we went Thursday.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Okay, so far so Saint's kind of same as the
first bye week of the season.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Does it feel like that formula, I mean it worked
the first time. Does it feel like that formula is
kind of right for you to at this point in
the year. I imagine there's bumps and bruises all over
the place, but you feel refreshed after the bye week.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah, for sure. I think it's great for me and
just the team in general. A little small bruises and
just the amount of increase you can get in in
that week of a body part that that's hurting or something.
You know, you get to get pretty good percenting. It
goes a lot more higher up. So I think it's

(11:32):
good the way we do it and the way we
handle it.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I know there's a lot of football left to play
in this season, but you've got eligibility right, and you're
you're now playing regularly in an offense where freshmen are
being used a lot, right. I mean you've got JJ
who you mentioned, Daniel Bray who I've mentioned a bunch
of times. There's a lot of young talent on this team,

(11:55):
like young dudes who seem like they're going to be
bright spots moving forward. Is that something that I mean,
even in the thick of this season, you look at
it and say, man if I can develop more chemistry
and more timing with this guy, we got years of
this in front of us.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yeah, you know, I think they're putting themselves in a
great situation espectually again for next year. I think I
was going to be the dudes for sure, But I
mean they're dudes right now. There's a reason why they're
playing right now. They were in their respects. So he
shout out to our young guys.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I need I lied.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I do need to ask one more thing about the
Cincinnati game. Bird had a rushing touchdown where it looked
like he got maybe knocked all the way unconscious. I
don't know if he did, but he got he got
hit hard right in the side of the helmet, and
then he laid there for a second, ended up popping
back up. But when you're watching that on film, like digesting,

(12:50):
I know that you're both running quarterbacks, right, you're a
little bit more seasoned in that regard. Is there something
you could tell like, hey, you don't have to take
that hit.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
The way you can get to the end zone without
taking that hit.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, yeah, I'm really close to Bart. Yeah it was
joke to us.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Okay, come on, Bruh found them a little bit for sure.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
I definitely told them the next time you get just
go out of bounds or uh yo, to find somebody
to throw the ball to you. You gotta take that.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, that was a was a big hit. But he
got in the end zone.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, he got in there.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
He did what he had to do.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Added to that point, total forty five to fourteen was
the final. Uh tell me what you've seen with Baylor.
What do you think of this Baylor Bears team?

Speaker 3 (13:36):
I look at it. They're a little bit bipolar. Honestly.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Offensively, they can put up some big numbers and look like, oh, hey,
that should be that should.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Be a team.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Like at the beginning of the year in the preseason,
people put them in the conversation as a contender in
the Big Twelve. It has not played out that way.
But there's not a lack of talent on that team
for sure.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Kind Of just like you said, you see games where
you know they're fine around all game, and then there's
times where they saw that down during games also, So
I think they're a talented group as well. I don't
disrepect any your opponent. I think they're really good on
the defense out side of the ball. So we got
to be on our a game.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
And how do you maintain consistency after a bye week?
We always talk about the advantages of a bye week
and like healing healing up and things like that. But
you guys are coming off of one hundred points of
offense in two weeks basically, right rolling. That's momentum that
you might not want to interrupt and hopefully the bye

(14:37):
week doesn't. So how do you make sure that you
maintain your production, that the offense maintains its production after
you know, some time off.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Just mentality Honestly, when the energy's up there and we're
grinding during practice tends to have good results for us
at the end of the week. So just I mean,
we preached it already, you know, every practice it's got
to matter. So I think we've been doing a good
job of that during this week, so it should should

(15:08):
be able to show it on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
I asked you this before we started recording.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
If you watched BYU Texas Tech, you said, yes, a
game like that is frustrating to watch. Expound on that,
tell me, tell me what you were thinking and feeling
as you're watching that game.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Yeah, I just think we didn't capitalize on our big
moments both of those games, against both of them. So no,
you just watch it. Just man, I want that, Just
want a couple of plays back. Just things like that
go on in your head. But you know, respect to them,
they won against us.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
But yeah, in a perfect world, in a perfect world, right,
let's say that the way things play out, Because these
are both possibilities, it's gonna be hard to make it happen.
But let's say that you can get into the college
football playoff finishing ten and two. You don't go to
the big twelve championship game. But because you have three

(16:05):
impressive wins, you get that at large bid, that final
at large bid anyway, or you get a chance at
revenge on Tech or on BYU.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
In Devin Dan.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Pierre's perfect World, what is the best way to finish
out a great season? Who would you want to play
at that championship? Smile and I know I don't know
what you're thinking about. How do I answer this diplomatically?
Your coaches don't listen. I've already asked them, So so
tell me what would be would you rather like? Give

(16:37):
me another shot at Tech, give me another shot at BYU?
I want that big twelve championship, or I mean the
bigger thing, which is not my favorite in college football
right now, but the bigger thing for a school in
a program right now is making the college football playoff,
whether you win the conference championship or not. Ohio State
didn't win the conference championship and they won the national championship.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
So your perfect world, how do you get there?

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah? Yeah, I'm duck smoke. I love I love playing
against a good teams, so that would be funny either way.
But playoffs is number one. That's something That's something I've
been dreaming since I got here. Literally, it's uh, it's
been the plan since I got here, why I came here,

(17:22):
So whatever, whatever makes it happen.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
You know, when you're watching by U Texas Tech and
you're seeing how that plays out, which of those teams
are you like, I hate these dudes. I want another
crack at them. I know that if I would have
done this or I would have done that, that we
would have beat them. Which one was like more in
your mind?

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Just both, uh, not just the hating standpoint, just like
we we just should have played better on our side
of the ball. For sure. We had the opportunities, so
they just wish we capitalized a little bit better.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
All right, Back to Baylor, I'm putting you in a
bad spot here. Back to Baylor.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
This this team, like we said, there's there's ups and
downs for him. It's on the road in Waco to normal,
like the weather shouldn't be a factor, that he shouldn't
be a factor. And we've seen really in these last
couple of weeks, especially the run game kind of carry things.
Passing has been good as well. It's been a balance,
but the run game has emerged in a way that

(18:25):
really made it so that Colorado was never a game,
Cincinnati was never a game. Is that you your running backs?
Is that something you have to give the offensive line
credit for? Is that Jason Beck's play calling? Why these
last two weeks has the run game been so popent?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yeah, I think it's it's all we all compliment each other. Obviously,
it starts with r oc I think he does a
great job of making plays different every week, finding things
we do well and continue to put ourselves in that position.
And then yeah, I mean our line makes it pretty much.

(19:01):
We can call anything and it should it should work
out pretty well. Those guys are a talented group. And uh,
like you talked about earlier, bringing in bray Way, stepping
up knock still back there, quarterback run being there. Then
we had good ball carriers as well, So yeah, dominating
the trenches, you know, ten to one games?

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Are you paying attention to the job openings that are
happening around college football. I know you're like, you're a
fan of football, but you're also focused on your own season.
There's like thirteen open jobs right now. There's been firings
all over the country, big time programs, mid major programs
that shakes up things in the world of college football.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Is that something you're paying any attention to right now?

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Uh? Not like serious paying into paying attention to, but
like it's definitely like when you see somebody get fired,
like everyone's like, yo, this is crazy. Like another person just.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Got Auburn Arkansas. I mean, everyone's wondering if Dion's gonna
be there next year.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
It's crazy. It's a lot of teams right.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Now, and now it's happening in the NFL too.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah, which is kind of wild to me. I find
it a little crazy.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
But have you ever.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Have you ever had a season where you had to
finish out under like an interim head coach? No, no,
or know anyone close to you that had to do that.
It feels like it would be such a difficult thing.
And sometimes there's you know, a team gets energized after
a firing and the interim guy comes and does the
raw raw thing, and then they win that next game

(20:35):
and we all pay attention to that, and they lose
like the next three and we don't pay as much
attention to that. It seems like it'd be a really
tough thing because you're in that routine. You're in that system,
and then it probably changes a little bit when the
head guy goes.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure that's difficult. No doubt. Head
coach does build a culture or at least a standard
for the coature to meet. So I when you lose
that guy, pretty sure, Pretty sure, it's a little tough.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
I asked you this also off and you know, I'm
not I don't want to get too deep in anyone's business,
but fans are we have ideas about what the NIL
world is and what NL obligations look like. And people
always like report numbers that are sometimes way crazy overblown.
And you and I have touched on this a little

(21:23):
bit in our conversations that there is now a businessman
aspect to playing college football. And obviously you're like, I mean,
you're one of the stars of this team. You're somebody's
deep in this community, and you're also trying to focus
on the main thing and make sure that football is
the main thing.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
And so I asked you, like, as far.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
As daily, weekly, monthly obligations, where you have to do
that you have to check that box in order to
keep the paychecks coming, or you have to check that
box in order to keep the collective happier whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Now, how much time do you have to put into that?

Speaker 2 (21:56):
And I just wanted to bring that to the air
because I think that it's being man it's pretty well.
It sounds like it's being managed pretty well, and that
it's not something that that takes away or distracts from
your football.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, you know, I think that's the great thing about agents.
If you get the right ones, uh, the ones that
truly care for you, they put me in a pretty
good situation. I don't I really don't have to worry
about anything. Uh during the season. I'm strictly football, strictly
playing for my team, So I'm not in a situation
where i gotta worry about any of that going on

(22:27):
outside of football right now.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
I asked you this when we were halfway through the season.
You're now three quarters of the way through the season, right,
three games left. Has it gone by faster than you
thought it would?

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's fine. That means you're having fun though,
So I'm happy. I'm happy where I'm at. I'm happy
h Lillly rice cycles and everyone's treating us. So, yeah,
it is crazy that we're already last three games, like,
got to make them count.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
You go one more home, right cycles.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, we talked about that a little bit last week.
I spencially just brought it up, you know, with his
being able to go to the draft possibly. He was like,
it could be my last home game, so that's crazy.
To get to it. Let's make the most of it. That's
really cool.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Crazy though, does it feel like all the goals, I mean,
we go back to August when we first started having
these conversations, you had, you had goals in your mind,
you had some goals that you shared with with us,
your personal goals, your team goals.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
They're all kind of there still to play for.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I mean, yes, you will need help to get to
the conference championship game, in the playoff.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
But is there some level of, I don't know, satisfaction, optimism,
excitement over the fact that we are seventy five percent
of the way through the season and all the things
that you had set out to accomplish are still very possible.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Yeah, I think again, Yeah, the biggest thing for me
is winning. Obviously you want the rest of this as
to follow that and whatever, But as long as we're
winning games, you know, that's that's kind of number one
for me. But it is pretty cool that just the
way we're playing on offense and especially defensive. I mean,

(24:13):
obviously I'm not on that side, but you know they're
that's that's my squad too. Uh, they're playing phenomenal as well.
So the fact that both sides are handling business, it's
pretty it's pretty good to have like a good good
on both sides.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
What can you tell me about Don Saunders? What's he like?

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Don? Don? Don? Don's quiet but like energetic at the
same time. It's it's so crazy because like I got
I think I got a little inside joke with it,
like we're just always he's a good vibe in the
locker room. But he's on those guys, you know, he

(24:52):
was he was waiting for his moment, you know, and
I think he made them. He's made the most of
every time he's gone in so uh, you know, I'm
proud of him for capitalizing on every opportunity he's getting.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
He was great against Cincinnati. I mean, like it was excellent.
They were trying to attack him. I don't know if
they had identified something and he made that play I
think every time they targeted his guy, he was right there. Yeah,
I mean that was that was That was a Don
Saunders game in my mind.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, for sure. I think the the DB's just against
who we've been playing. You know, they've had their time
to be tested, and you know they're handling better than
anyone could everyone across the board.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Do you hate on him because he also wears number four?

Speaker 4 (25:38):
No, no, it's love. It's all love for and four
and four turning up on both sides.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Did you see what happened? Did you see the thing
that USC should have gotten in trouble for with the head?

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah, that was crazy, Sam. He they did put him.
I saw something like on Twitter they put him. They
did have it like marked before the game. They put it, Yes,
put them in the.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Program as number eighty before the game.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
So as much as you want to say they did that,
other team had the opportunity to look at the rosters.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
They did. They did.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
The Big ten came out I think yesterday and said, okay,
they handled the roster thing right. But it's actually illegal
for two people wearing the same number to play the
same position in a game. So like if you went
out to play corner where number four. They'd be like, no,
that's a penalty. You can't do that because you're not
going to s And if don came in to play,

(26:35):
to run like a wildcat or something, also illegal. I
learned something new every day.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
But after huh, it's after the Yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
It doesn't matter. So if you're Northwestern, you're just like, well,
thank you for telling us.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Yeah we had to be the example of the.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Thank you for figuring that out. But nothing happens. It
doesn't change the result of the play or the game
or anything else. I hate when, I actually hate when
in the NFL the NBA when they do that, when
they come out the league office comes out and says
that shit should have been a penalty, that should have
been a holding or whatever. Yeah we missed this one.
You're like, are you gonna change the result? Then stop

(27:14):
talking about everyone's already mad. Anyway, have you been to
Waco before, NOE? Do you know anything about Waco? Have you?

Speaker 3 (27:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Do you watch Fixer Upper that that home improvement television
show us from there or anything like that, any sense
of being there for a long time.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, it's cool to go in and.

Speaker 2 (27:35):

win against Taylor Bears.
