[1:04] Speaker 4: if I have my facts right, Dick, which is entirely
[1:06] Speaker 4: possible it's not.
[1:07] Speaker 3: No, I am right.
[1:08] Speaker 4: He's back in the win column after UCF covered against
[1:12] Speaker 4: BYU over the weekend in Florida.
[1:15] Speaker 3: Not only covered. Yeah, won the game. Johnny, how are you, man?
[1:18] Speaker 3: What's going on?
[1:20] Speaker 5: Good.
[1:20] Speaker 6: That was easy money.
[1:21] Speaker 3: Yes, it was.
[1:22] Speaker 6: Thanks to the Big 12 schedulers.
[1:24] Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it.
[1:25] Speaker 4: Well, there's a lot going on in college football I'm
[1:27] Speaker 4: going to talk about, and I just want to start
[1:29] Speaker 4: off with what's happening in Eugene, Oregon, man. Dante Moore
[1:32] Speaker 4: sounds like he's done. How much motivation does Oregon have
[1:36] Speaker 4: the rest of the year? And do you, as you
[1:39] Speaker 4: sit here now, believe that Dante Moore is going to
[1:41] Speaker 4: come back and give it one more go next season
[1:44] Speaker 4: in Eugene?
[1:45] Speaker 5: Oh, I think he's done in college. I think he
[1:49] Speaker 5: will be playing in the NFL next year. He's played
[1:52] Speaker 5: his last game for Oregon. Unfortunately, it ended the way
[1:55] Speaker 5: it did. You know, that was just a brutally dirty hit.
[2:00] Speaker 5: And it's too bad for him. It's also too bad because, look,
[2:04] Speaker 5: he came back to school, right?
[2:05] Speaker 6: He turned down the NFL.
[2:07] Speaker 5: I don't know how much of that was specifically because
[2:09] Speaker 5: he didn't want to get drafted by the Jets. He
[2:11] Speaker 5: turned down the NFL, comes back to school, and then
[2:14] Speaker 5: it ends like this, and you have to think a
[2:16] Speaker 5: lot of kids are going to look at him and think, oh,
[2:18] Speaker 5: I'm not ever coming back to school if I have
[2:20] Speaker 5: the chance to leave. So I think he's done, and
[2:22] Speaker 5: I think that the Ducks, it will be very interesting
[2:25] Speaker 5: to see what their motivation is like now that they've
[2:28] Speaker 5: got three losses and they're basically out of the Big
[2:31] Speaker 5: Ten championship race and they're out of the playoff race.
[2:35] Speaker 6: I don't know.
[2:36] Speaker 5: And Chip is coming to town, and he's got a
[2:38] Speaker 5: hell of a running game. It's going to be a
[2:39] Speaker 5: very interesting Saturday.
[2:40] Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing.
[2:41] Speaker 7: I mean, Chip coming to town, why is Oregon favored
[2:45] Speaker 7: over a 6-1, 20th-ranked Northwestern team who's clearly looked better
[2:48] Speaker 7: than them all year?
[2:50] Speaker 6: They have.
[2:52] Speaker 5: But if you look at Northwestern's schedule and who they've beaten,
[2:55] Speaker 5: it is just the gutter level of the sport. Rutgers
[3:00] Speaker 5: is Michigan State.
[3:02] Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. Penn State.
[3:05] Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Time out. Time out.
[3:07] Speaker 4: You don't dare disrespect the Ball State Cardinals, John. What
[3:10] Speaker 4: the hell is wrong with you?
[3:12] Speaker 3: Show some respect. My bad.
[3:15] Speaker 6: My bad.
[3:16] Speaker 5: They have not beaten anybody, and Oregon's played a hard schedule.
[3:19] Speaker 5: I'm guessing that that's what it is. The power ratings
[3:22] Speaker 5: still show Oregon's better, but I agree with you. Northwestern
[3:25] Speaker 5: has looked three times better, even given the difference in competition.
[3:29] Speaker 4: Yeah, they lost to Indiana by six, but Indiana looked
[3:32] Speaker 4: really beatable to me over the weekend, by the way.
[3:34] Speaker 4: But we'll talk about that in a minute. But just
[3:36] Speaker 4: go back to Oregon. I mean, I I just wonder, honestly,
[3:39] Speaker 4: who's got more motivation now, man? If Washington can somehow, someway,
[3:43] Speaker 4: and it's not an easy task. I would probably say
[3:46] Speaker 4: it's not going to happen. But if they can somehow
[3:48] Speaker 4: find a way to walk into Lincoln and walk out
[3:51] Speaker 4: with a win. They got Penn State coming here. They're beatable.
[3:54] Speaker 4: Michigan State there. They're beatable. Indiana's coming here. They're beatable.
[4:00] Speaker 4: And then the Oregon Ducks in the final game of
[4:02] Speaker 4: the year. I mean, honestly, who's got more motivation right now?
[4:06] Speaker 4: The dogs or the Ducks?
[4:09] Speaker 5: Well, I think dogs could have more motivation by the
[4:13] Speaker 5: end of the season because, you know, I don't think
[4:15] Speaker 5: that the way things have gone is nearly as crushing
[4:18] Speaker 5: for Washington as it has been for Oregon.
[4:20] Speaker 4: Agreed.
[4:21] Speaker 5: So, yeah, I mean, Washington could kind of get back,
[4:24] Speaker 5: you know, I don't know who's going to play quarterback,
[4:26] Speaker 5: but if they get good quarterback play and that kind
[4:28] Speaker 5: of energizes everything.
[4:30] Speaker 6: Washington could end up with.
[4:31] Speaker 5: Some momentum and finish with seven, eight wins.
[4:34] Speaker 6: There's no doubt about that. They should beat Michigan State.
[4:40] Speaker 5: Indiana will be interesting because part of Indiana's problem is
[4:43] Speaker 5: Josh Hoover's banked up. If he's healthy.
[4:46] Speaker 6: That will be a difficult game. There's no doubt about that.
[4:49] Speaker 3: Isn't college football great?
[4:51] Speaker 7: We're one win by the Washington Huskies and a change
[4:54] Speaker 7: of quarterback from going.
[4:56] Speaker 3: Like, is there a game.
[4:57] Speaker 7: We're going to win all season long to, hey, we
[5:00] Speaker 7: can run the table.
[5:01] Speaker 3: We totally could. We may never lose a game.
[5:04] Speaker 5: And I think we talked about this maybe online. washington
[5:10] Speaker 5: and oregon are in the exact same place four and
[5:13] Speaker 5: three one team spent 40 million on their roster one
[5:16] Speaker 5: team spent you know 20 25 million on their roster looks.
[5:20] Speaker 6: Like the huskies are getting better.
[5:21] Speaker 7: Roi right now yeah so handicap nebraska for us talk
[5:25] Speaker 7: about what you think happens in that game.
[5:28] Speaker 5: Well i think they're pretty good now they're not elite
[5:31] Speaker 5: but they are pretty good right when indiana was healthy
[5:33] Speaker 5: they've Pushed Indiana, and the game was in Lincoln. It
[5:37] Speaker 5: was like 20-17. Indiana had to make a play at
[5:39] Speaker 5: the end of the game. So at home, they are
[5:43] Speaker 5: pretty good. I think it will depend on Washington's quarterback play.
[5:47] Speaker 5: I'm not going to guess who's going to start.
[5:49] Speaker 6: I know Fish is.
[5:50] Speaker 5: Like, playing, you know, keeping it quiet. If the quarterback
[5:54] Speaker 5: play is solid, I think that game goes down in
[5:56] Speaker 5: the wire and it's undecided with five minutes left. If
[5:59] Speaker 5: Washington's quarterback play is erratic, not efficient, turnovers... strip sacks, INTs,
[6:06] Speaker 5: then the Huskies are going to have a real hard time.
[6:08] Speaker 4: Well, if it's a game with five minutes left, Nebraska
[6:11] Speaker 4: has a great habit of throwing away fourth quarter leads.
[6:14] Speaker 3: By the way.
[6:14] Speaker 6: Yes, they do.
[6:16] Speaker 4: They've done it a lot, including a couple of times
[6:18] Speaker 4: this year. You know, I just look at this Nebraska defense, man,
[6:21] Speaker 4: and I see a totally different animal versus what we
[6:23] Speaker 4: saw a week ago. Guys, they're also number four in
[6:27] Speaker 4: the country in block kicks. They're tied for third in
[6:29] Speaker 4: block punts. One thing that they do very well is
[6:32] Speaker 4: they stop teams on third down, but one thing they
[6:34] Speaker 4: do terrible at is stopping teams on fourth down.
[6:37] Speaker 3: They're also 110th in penalties, by the way. So, I
[6:40] Speaker 3: don't know.
[6:41] Speaker 4: I mean, this is a much more obviously mature thing
[6:43] Speaker 4: than what Jed Fish is dealing with here, but... You know,
[6:46] Speaker 4: the whole two-time zone thing, right? I was texting you
[6:49] Speaker 4: about that the other day, and we're.
[6:51] Speaker 3: Going out there.
[6:51] Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if you're still tracking this,
[6:53] Speaker 4: but how big a deal is that? How big of
[6:56] Speaker 4: a problem is that still today for teams that are
[6:58] Speaker 4: traveling two time zones or more like we are on Saturday?
[7:02] Speaker 5: You know, I don't think that this should– it should
[7:04] Speaker 5: not be an issue, in my opinion, in this situation.
[7:07] Speaker 6: The Huskies have two weeks to prepare.
[7:09] Speaker 3: Right.
[7:10] Speaker 5: It is a 5 o'clock Pacific game, if I remember correctly. Correct.
[7:14] Speaker 6: Yes.
[7:15] Speaker 5: And and you know it's only it's halfway across the
[7:18] Speaker 5: country it's not maryland it's not rutgers it's certainly not
[7:22] Speaker 5: a 9 a.m body clock to me this is like
[7:25] Speaker 5: is it is it that much worse than if you're
[7:28] Speaker 5: the huskies and you're going to play in boulder i
[7:30] Speaker 5: don't really think so yeah.
[7:32] Speaker 7: Agreed no that's fair enough what about jed not deciding
[7:34] Speaker 7: on the quarterback i mean florida's doing the same thing
[7:36] Speaker 7: against georgia this week they're just being that clandestine do
[7:39] Speaker 7: you do you like that uh move.
[7:42] Speaker 5: You know, all the coaches do it, right? They're trying
[7:45] Speaker 5: to get a competitive advantage. And I think in this case,
[7:49] Speaker 5: you know, it matters a little bit because there's enough
[7:51] Speaker 5: difference between the way Williams and Brown play that it
[7:55] Speaker 5: would affect Nebraska's preparation just because, you know, if it's Williams,
[8:00] Speaker 5: you got to have a spy ready.
[8:02] Speaker 6: You got to deal with the run.
[8:03] Speaker 5: And if it's Brown, it's much more of a kind
[8:06] Speaker 5: of a traditional pass defense. So I would probably do
[8:09] Speaker 5: the same thing if I were Fish. But if I'm
[8:11] Speaker 5: that rule, I'm saying to myself, there's no way that
[8:13] Speaker 5: they're starting to mom Williams. Right.
[8:17] Speaker 3: Is UCLA going to make the playoff?
[8:21] Speaker 6: They might.
[8:22] Speaker 5: The problem for the Bruins is that they could finish
[8:27] Speaker 5: the season very well 11-1, 10-2. They're not going to
[8:31] Speaker 5: have a whole lot of quality wins. So they're 7-0.
[8:34] Speaker 5: They've got to go to Minneapolis, and that's going to
[8:36] Speaker 5: be a hard game.
[8:36] Speaker 6: Minnesota, as you guys know, is pretty good. Then they
[8:39] Speaker 6: finish with Michigan.
[8:40] Speaker 5: On the road, I believe, and they play USC at home,
[8:44] Speaker 5: or maybe it's flip, Michigan at home, USC on the road.
[8:47] Speaker 5: So they've got three hard games left. If they win
[8:50] Speaker 5: two of those three, they're in the playoff. If they
[8:52] Speaker 5: win one of those three... then they're on the bubble, really.
[8:56] Speaker 5: And it would be something if UCLA makes a.
[8:58] Speaker 6: Playoff before USC does.
[9:00] Speaker 5: And before Washington, well, Washington made it, but the 12 team, right?
[9:04] Speaker 5: Coming out of nowhere just shows what one coach, one
[9:07] Speaker 5: smart coaching hire can do.
[9:10] Speaker 7: John, I just think Ohio State is on a completely
[9:12] Speaker 7: different level than USC. The question is, what's the quarterback
[9:16] Speaker 7: play going to look like? So what does the quarterback
[9:19] Speaker 7: play look like for Ohio State? Because I think if
[9:21] Speaker 7: it can be decent, six and a half seems like
[9:23] Speaker 7: a very doable spread for Ohio State.
[9:29] Speaker 6: I think so, too.
[9:30] Speaker 5: And you do wonder about USC's kind of motivation at
[9:34] Speaker 5: this point. They've still got a chance at the playoff,
[9:37] Speaker 5: but they've got to be demoralized. That performance in Madison
[9:39] Speaker 5: was just terrible. So the thing I ask myself is, one,
[9:44] Speaker 5: is there any chance that Ryan Day is going to
[9:46] Speaker 5: trot out a subpar quarterback?
[9:48] Speaker 6: And I don't think there is any chance, right? The backup, the.
[9:52] Speaker 5: Guy who didn't play the other day, Tavian Sinclair, was
[9:55] Speaker 5: like the number one quarterback recruit in the country.
[9:57] Speaker 6: A couple of years ago. So, you know, they're loaded.
[10:00] Speaker 5: And the other thing is you kind of assume that
[10:02] Speaker 5: everybody else, the other 21 spots are going to play
[10:06] Speaker 5: better and harder and be more focused because they know
[10:10] Speaker 5: they have to since Sayans out. Plus, they got number four.
[10:14] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[10:15] Speaker 4: Yeah, no, Jeremiah Smith. I mean, he's, I don't know,
[10:18] Speaker 4: is he your Heisman Trophy winner right now, like with
[10:20] Speaker 4: a bullet? Is there anybody even close to him in
[10:21] Speaker 4: your mind?
[10:23] Speaker 6: Not right now.
[10:24] Speaker 5: I mean, you know, if their offense does somehow collapse
[10:27] Speaker 5: and he doesn't do anything down the stretch. Maybe I
[10:30] Speaker 5: changed my mind, but he's in. Can I tell you
[10:32] Speaker 5: a quick personal story about how good he is?
[10:34] Speaker 7: Sure.
[10:34] Speaker 6: My son, my son, who's 14, is in a fantasy
[10:37] Speaker 6: league with his friends. It's not for money. It's just
[10:41] Speaker 6: for bragging rights. It's it's one of those dynasty leagues
[10:44] Speaker 6: where the team you have, you keep from year to year.
[10:47] Speaker 3: Right.
[10:48] Speaker 5: And then each summer you draft the players that are
[10:51] Speaker 5: coming into the NFL or the players that weren't on
[10:54] Speaker 5: rosters the previous year.
[10:55] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[10:56] Speaker 5: My son is tanking to draft Jeremiah Smith.
[11:01] Speaker 4: Well, that's great. But my question is, why isn't he
[11:03] Speaker 4: playing for money? What the hell's wrong with a kid.
[11:05] Speaker 3: For crying out loud? We got to get him.
[11:08] Speaker 5: When he told me about that, I'm like, you should
[11:09] Speaker 5: be an NBA GM.
[11:11] Speaker 3: No, I love that. Absolutely. Well, John Wilner is with us.
[11:14] Speaker 4: And John, Deion Sanders obviously is in some hot water
[11:18] Speaker 4: about a comment he made about he was going to
[11:20] Speaker 4: silence critics with money, says it was a joke. I mean,
[11:23] Speaker 4: Colorado is just not what we thought they'd be after
[11:26] Speaker 4: they had that opening win, you know, seemingly 100 years
[11:29] Speaker 4: ago against TCU. Is he back in Boulder next season,
[11:33] Speaker 4: you think, Deion?
[11:34] Speaker 5: I think every week that goes, there's more chance he's
[11:37] Speaker 5: not back. I would say it's less than 50-50 chance.
[11:40] Speaker 5: He's got a new chancellor. He's got a new athletic director.
[11:43] Speaker 5: I think he's tired.
[11:44] Speaker 6: They're tired of him. They're going nowhere.
[11:46] Speaker 5: They're 1-12 in their last— 13.
[11:52] Speaker 6: Big 12 games.
[11:53] Speaker 5: I mean, it's no different right now than it was
[11:56] Speaker 5: with Carl Durrell in his last year. So I kind
[11:59] Speaker 5: of think that it's run its course.
[12:01] Speaker 6: It's time to move on.
[12:02] Speaker 5: He can't figure out the quarterback situation. And, you know,
[12:06] Speaker 5: these things, the comments, the off-the-field stuff, at this point,
[12:11] Speaker 5: it's negatively impacting the program. Before, it was just any
[12:15] Speaker 5: publicity is good publicity.
[12:16] Speaker 6: When they were rolling. And now it hurts, I think.
[12:20] Speaker 7: John, we know you're not a big fan of the
[12:23] Speaker 7: 2014 playoff. I was reading Dan Wetzel over the last
[12:25] Speaker 7: week or so. He wrote that he thinks that major
[12:28] Speaker 7: programs like Ohio State and Michigan are going to seek
[12:31] Speaker 7: independence in the 2014 playoff era. Do you think we're
[12:34] Speaker 7: going to see lots of those big dogs trying to
[12:37] Speaker 7: pull out of conferences?
[12:40] Speaker 5: Well, I think if that happens, it's going to start
[12:43] Speaker 5: with the ACC, with Miami, Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina
[12:47] Speaker 5: just deciding– we don't need to be in the ACC, right?
[12:50] Speaker 5: Because now, they're getting rid of conference championship games, so
[12:54] Speaker 5: being in a conference is secondary to getting in the playoff.
[13:00] Speaker 5: And everybody's looking at Notre Dame, and they're thinking Notre
[13:03] Speaker 5: Dame's got a pretty sweet deal, right? If they're ranked
[13:05] Speaker 5: in the top 24 next year, they're going to get in.
[13:07] Speaker 5: So you schedule to get to 9-3, and you're in
[13:11] Speaker 5: the playoff.
[13:12] Speaker 6: It's a pretty good deal. I think it's more likely that.
[13:16] Speaker 5: It goes, you know, a big group of schools go independent.
[13:19] Speaker 5: And then if you've got that, that's really a super league, right?
[13:22] Speaker 5: So to me, there's more chance of that happening than
[13:26] Speaker 5: of the sec or big 10 expanding again and adding
[13:30] Speaker 5: more schools, right? Because the playoff, the new playoff, it
[13:33] Speaker 5: kind of makes the conference piece a little bit irrelevant.
[13:36] Speaker 4: I know it's more Big 12 than anything, but I
[13:38] Speaker 4: saw that the BYU-Utah game, which is, I believe, next weekend.
[13:42] Speaker 3: Is that right? The Holy War is next Saturday?
[13:44] Speaker 4: Yeah, because they got ASU this weekend. That that game
[13:48] Speaker 4: between two top 10 teams most likely... is going to
[13:52] Speaker 4: kick off at 10 o'clock in the morning in Utah.
[13:56] Speaker 4: And that is one of the most disgraceful, disrespectful, stupidest
[14:00] Speaker 4: things I've ever heard of, that you're going to make
[14:02] Speaker 4: BYU and Utah play a gigantic game, and you're going
[14:06] Speaker 4: to do it at 10 a.m.
[14:08] Speaker 3: Locally. How does that happen?
[14:11] Speaker 6: Because that's what ESPN wants. That's how it happens. The
[14:14] Speaker 6: game is either going to be.
[14:16] Speaker 5: It's basically the noon Eastern window, and it's either going
[14:20] Speaker 5: to be on ESPN or ABC, and there'll be an
[14:25] Speaker 5: SEC game on the other network. But they don't want
[14:29] Speaker 5: to put it on primetime because they got Miami-Notre Dame,
[14:32] Speaker 5: and they don't want to put it up against that game,
[14:36] Speaker 5: and they think it'll get better eyeballs... if it's on
[14:39] Speaker 5: at noon Eastern. So it's entirely a TV decision.
[14:43] Speaker 6: I agree.
[14:43] Speaker 5: It stinks for the fans. It stinks at a local level.
[14:47] Speaker 5: But if you're looking at it, where could they put
[14:50] Speaker 5: it to get the most viewership? That's probably the right call.
[14:54] Speaker 7: Well, speaking of the Big 12, we got potentially a
[14:57] Speaker 7: winner in, loser out game between 22nd ranked Arizona and
[15:02] Speaker 7: the quarterback that we thought might have come here to Washington,
[15:05] Speaker 7: Noah Fafita, and the other quarterback came instead, taking on
[15:08] Speaker 7: 13th ranked Texas Tech.
[15:09] Speaker 3: What do you see happening in that game?
[15:12] Speaker 6: Like Arizona. They're playing well. They're below the radar.
[15:15] Speaker 5: And Texas Tech just got smoked at Cincinnati. It's interesting
[15:19] Speaker 5: how the football gods look down upon teams that pound
[15:24] Speaker 5: their chest in, you know, false.
[15:26] Speaker 6: Bravado like Texas Tech, right?
[15:29] Speaker 5: I mean, they haven't won anything. They haven't even scored
[15:31] Speaker 5: a point in the playoff. And, you know, they're running
[15:35] Speaker 5: their mouths and they think they're the sliced bread and
[15:38] Speaker 5: they got a billionaire donor who's running his mouth. And
[15:41] Speaker 5: The football gods just kind of have the last laugh
[15:43] Speaker 5: a lot of times, I think. And they got smoked
[15:46] Speaker 5: at Cincinnati, and they're just not as good as they
[15:48] Speaker 5: were last year. Yeah.
[15:50] Speaker 4: What are the odds, Jason Eck, Bob Chesney, Jamarcus Shepard,
[15:57] Speaker 4: how many of those three coaches will still be at
[15:59] Speaker 4: their current jobs this time of the year?
[16:05] Speaker 5: In order of most likely to leave, I would put
[16:08] Speaker 5: Eck number one. Now, the interesting thing about Eck is
[16:12] Speaker 5: that he played for Barry Alvarez at Wisconsin and I
[16:17] Speaker 5: think was waiting, thinking Luke Fickle might get fired, but
[16:20] Speaker 5: Luke Fickle's not getting fired now, so Eck is kind
[16:22] Speaker 5: of a free agent. So I'd put him one. I
[16:27] Speaker 5: would put Shepard two and Chesney three. I mean, UCLA
[16:31] Speaker 5: is that if you have a chancellor at UCLA that
[16:34] Speaker 5: cares about football and they do, it's a pretty good
[16:37] Speaker 5: gig because it doesn't get much better and you can
[16:40] Speaker 5: recruit like heck. So I unless a blue blood back
[16:45] Speaker 5: east were to open and I don't know that that's
[16:48] Speaker 5: going to happen. I would think Chessie's going to stay
[16:50] Speaker 5: for at least a couple more years.
[16:52] Speaker 3: All right, got it.
[16:52] Speaker 4: Well, we got you at 7-3 on the air so far,
[16:55] Speaker 4: by the way, John, continuing a hell of a run
[16:57] Speaker 4: that began last year. So to get to 8-3 and
[17:01] Speaker 4: to win two in a row coming off the UCF
[17:04] Speaker 4: game last week versus BYU, the Windalorian is back dominating
[17:08] Speaker 4: yet again.
[17:09] Speaker 3: Who do you like this week, big man?
[17:11] Speaker 5: I sure hope somebody's making money off of this because
[17:13] Speaker 5: I'm not.
[17:14] Speaker 3: Guarantee it, somebody is. Guarantee it.
[17:16] Speaker 6: Okay. All righty. I will take the Beavers. Give me
[17:21] Speaker 6: the Beavs.
[17:22] Speaker 5: They are at Fresno, and I think they are favored
[17:24] Speaker 5: by six and a half or six.
[17:27] Speaker 3: Five and a half. Five and a half now.
[17:32] Speaker 5: The Beavs, I think they are very good. Now, I
[17:35] Speaker 5: don't know if they're going to beat Boise, but they
[17:37] Speaker 5: are way better than Fresno. And, you know, if the
[17:41] Speaker 5: old Pac-12 existed, this Oregon State team would be like fourth, fifth,
[17:48] Speaker 5: sixth place. They're actually pretty good even at that level.
[17:51] Speaker 5: And so I think they're going to go into Fresno
[17:53] Speaker 5: and roll.
[17:53] Speaker 7: Okay.
[17:54] Speaker 4: Oregon State at Fresno giving five and a half against
[17:56] Speaker 4: the Bulldogs. John, great stuff. We'll talk in a week, man.
[17:59] Speaker 6: Thanks, John. Thanks, guys.
[18:01] Speaker 3: All right. You bet.
[18:02] Speaker 4: John Willner with us. We're going to break. Seahawks making
[18:04] Speaker 4: a big trade today. We're going to head to Indianapolis
[18:07] Speaker 4: and hear all about it from their perspective. Quentin Nelson
[18:10] Speaker 4: is a Seahawks. We'll get to Derek Schultz. Talk about
[18:14] Speaker 4: it next on 93. That is so, just so corny.
[18:18] Speaker 3: I love it, though. Next on 93.3 KJRFM.
