A (6:25)

The Chiefs are still dangerous. Chargers I'm just not sure about, certainly with the injury with Justin Herbert and then you got Denver, which is a great defensive team, but you know, you're gonna have to outscore somebody once you get to the postseason. But, yeah, you're trying to handicap this.

A (6:43)

I just don't know if there's a great team right now. I, I mean, I still have the Lions and the Chiefs and both of those may not make the playoffs. Yes, right. Yeah. When you look at the NFC west, it's interesting because there's a lot of good records there, but not a lot of teams that scare you. You know, I don't know. I mean, the Rams are great, but I don't know that the 49ers make me nervous. I don't really know that the Seahawks make me nervous either. The Seahawks would make me nervous if you're playing in Seattle. The Rams would make me nervous no matter where they go. I do think they're a really good team.

A (7:16)

Trying to think of anybody else.

A (7:19)

Are you sold on the Bears? Are you sold on the Packers? Are you sold on the Lions? Yes, Paulie, it does feel like the Seahawks are playing great, but the Sam Darnold I believe in him, feel from last year and it's not fair because you know, I'm first team all Sam Darnold. But nationally he's playing great, they're playing great. But it's like, well, he's great in the regular season. What will he be in January? And that kind of just overlaps their whole team. Yeah, I mean the Bills, I don't think they're great. I think they can play really well. Buccaneers, Seahawks, Jags, Colts, I don't think anybody believes in either one of those two teams.

A (8:02)

There's some bad games coming up this weekend, some bad matchups because you got. But you know the Colts and Jags is interesting. But then you got Dolphins, Jets, Titans, Browns, Commanders, Vikings.

A (8:16)

Bengals at the Bills will be interesting.

A (8:20)

See what else? Rams, Cardinals, Bears, packers is good. And Texans and the Chiefs, that's good as well. Something interesting happened yesterday. Now I thought the Lions were going to win.

A (8:33)

But the line was three so the Cowboys were getting three now I thought okay, and then it went up to three and a half and I thought okay, what changed here? And I don't know if that's, you know, I'm on Ross St. Brown coming back or when somebody got word of that, but all of a sudden it went up to three and a half. And if you're a gambler or a reformed gambler, then you're always looking for those kind of last minute changes in the point spread. But Dallas had their opportunities, but that defense was not what we thought they were going to be. You know, once again you can stop the run but if you have some kind of pass rush, you know, then, then you can at least mitigate the damage that the offense is going to do. Passing wise. And Jared Goff throws for 300 yards. If he's thrown for 300 yards, you're going to lose. But the offense is there. We know that. It's just the defense has to be. You have to be more than adequate now and it cost them last night because if they win last night, you may eliminate the Lions and you, you're going to increase your chances of still staying in the playoff picture. What other poll questions do we have? Seaton.

A (9:48)

Let's see. Would you rather your team have the best wide receiver in the league or the best kicker? Okay, Paulie wrote this because you have the Cowboy situation and you have the Brandon Aubrey who pretty much, I'm guessing anything inside 70 is in his range. I mean it's, he's a restricted free agent. He's making a million dollars I think he's going to be up there in the Harrison Butler salary neighborhood of around $5 million.

A (10:19)

As far as CD Lamb or George Pickens.

A (10:24)

Well, I'd rather have a great kicker. I. I don't want. I don't want George Pickens. Now, CD Lamb. I would take CD Lamb. George Pickens. I need to see another year. I do. And you know, he's great. He's been great.

A (10:40)

But he had a couple of moments there last night that made me just a little bit nervous. Just a little nervous there. I probably franchise him. I don't know if I want to be giving him $30 million a year, but I would take. I mean, Brandon Aubrey, there's nobody like him in the NFL. There are receivers like George Pickens in the NFL. Brandon Aubrey, to me is, you know, that's money from 70 yards in. And plus you get these new kickoffs now. If you get the ball to the 35, you get two first downs. Aubrey's in field goal range. Yes, Paulie. Brandon Aubrey is becoming automatic from 60 plus. There have been 15 field goals from 63 or more in NFL history, the entire history of the league. He's got three of them. And the one he had last night had another five yards behind it. Yeah, yeah, and he's had that happen a couple times too, actually, where he's. He's put one through and you're like, dang, man, that was a long ass field goal. And it had another five yards to go. Easy. Yeah. Paulie. In the past 40 years, before, like Brandon Aubrey joined the league, kickers were 6 for 82 from 60 plus. He's 6 for 9 from 60 plus in his career. That's silly. The Cowboys are allowing just under 30 points per game, so they're on pace still. You know how bad they were at the beginning of the year. They're going to probably get to where the Cowboys were the first year they came into the league. 1960, when they allowed just over or just under 31 points per game.

A (12:17)

Start of the day, start of the day, Start of the day, Start of the. This is the start of the day.

A (12:29)

Brought to you by Panini America. And the Lions have been really good at blowing people out since the start of last season. They have 14 wins by double digits. That's the most in the NFL. All right, we'll get to phone calls. Tyler sitting by. He'll take your calls there. We got college football coming up this weekend. Penn State might be zeroing in on their head coach Matt Campbell at Iowa State. Maybe this Was the plan all along. Maybe this is what they were talking about, and I mentioned this yesterday, that they have an interim head coach. And I was told last night they told the interim head coach, hey, you're free to move around. Move about the cabin. Penn State is now apparently authorized Terry Smith to interview for other jobs. So he's going to be in the mix for some of the backfill openings. And that means Michigan. Penn State does not have a head coach. If he's going to be looking at another job. And maybe it's Matt Campbell, it certainly sounds like they have put all their efforts and money into bringing him, enticing him. Now he's been up for other jobs, big jobs in college football and also the NFL. He's an Ohio guy. He's a Massillon Ohio guy. Big football powerhouse up there towards Cleveland. And.

A (13:52)

Maybe, just maybe, Penn State will find their head coach. Yes, Todd, nothing makes you feel more loved and wanted then, you know, feel free to look into other opportunities. That's good with us. Yeah, and this guy's probably. Terry Smith's going, hey, I'm the head coach at Penn State. Not so fast. You know, not so fast. You're free to talk to anybody you want to, huh? We actually encourage it. That leads me to believe that Penn State is going to zero in and get Matt Campbell because I, if not, I would not be telling the interim head coach. Okay, feel free. Go flirt with whoever you want to. Alrighty, let's see Kevin and Austin. Hi, Kevin. Lead us off. What's on your mind? Hey, dp, I've got three things for you. One, I want to say thanks for the calendar. I just got it in the mail signed by all five of you guys. Some really horrifying months with Fritzi. Can't hang that in the office.

A (14:54)

Then I want to go over my Cowboys just real quick. I, you know, you see what a number one receiver looks like with a Monroe St. Brown on one leg versus what? George Merton Hanks Pickens with his ski mask last night and his effort.

A (15:12)

And then lastly I, we are coming up on a week out from Hanukkah and I want to know if Todd is ready with the sports names. Oh, Todd Hanukkah sports names. Yeah, I think we did that a while back. We can revisit that and see if we can come up with some new ones. Yeah, that's when I came up with Hanukkah Sorenstan. Yeah, that was an excellent one. Yeah, I thought that was a walk off. Yeah, I was a one and Doner there. Thanks for the phone call, Kevin. Yes. Paul Dreidel Bly, the former defensive back. Heck yeah. Dre Bly. This in from Tom Pelissero from NFL Network. The defensive back Brian Branch of the Lions feared to have suffered an Achilles injury last night and Branch will have further tests this morning. But that's according to Tom Pelissero. Nothing confirmed there, but feared to have suffered an Achilles injury. Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning, Buddha. What's on your mind?

A (16:06)

Nobody. Every day, the super bowl boys. Let's go. Dan looking sharp there from the main cave. And Dan, if I'm Jerry Jones, I'm paying Brandon Aubrey right now. Let's go. Like, don't mess around. I mean, I'm sure he'll, I'm sure he'll mess it up somehow and sign Harrison, but Kerr for some reason. But when I actually root for the Cowboys, Dan, that's when they lose. And so as my boy and Gus in LA says, when the Cowboys lose, America wins. And then I wanted to call in and just say I am so tired of everyone crying. Everyone's crying already about their teams not making the College Football Playoff. I mean, it's like, it's, it's terrible. It's like everybody's already like saying like they're getting jobs or outed and it's just like the whole notion of everyone not their fan base is not making the College Football Playoff. It's killing me. Smalls, man.

A (17:11)

Thank you, Buddha. There is an oh, woe is me, a couple of Notre Dame friends and they're like, give me some positive news here. And I said, I think it's going to be tough sledding here. But I mean, they may squeak in, but it's, this isn't a foregone conclusion. You got college football games coming up tonight, certainly Saturday. We'll look at the the weekend and some of the big matchups and the most must win game of the weekend as well. More phone calls coming up. We'll talk to Ross Tucker.

Is this Chris in Syracuse joining us? I don't have a city. Where is this Chris in Syracuse? Yes, it is, Dan. Thanks. Okay, thanks. Thanks, Dan. Hey, I want to comment on the Cowboys and the Lakers. I think after last night Jerry Jones isn't going to be able to control himself. He's thinking next year at his age, it's his year and he's going to go for it. And I know It's a lot of cap money to have tied up a wide receiver. But I bet you he obviously signs Aubrey and he'll sign George Pickens and that will give him a top, a top offense in the league for sure. And their D, it didn't look like it last night, but their D isn't bad. And you have two first round picks and if you spend that on the defensive side of the ball, maybe the second and third round pick, you get some manageable rookie contracts in there and you got Turpin return game, punt, sand kicks off is good. And like you guys said, weapon wise band brought in Brandon Aubrey. There's nobody like him. And yeah, it should be the most talented cowboy team since Stack's rookie year. And the Lakers beat the Raptors last night in dramatic fashion. And LeBron James is incredible. Double digit point streak, I think it was 1297 came to an end. And yeah, with injuries this year coupled with father time. Yeah, LeBron seems to be really slowing down. And yeah, and the great debate, I'll always take Michael Jordan, but if you factor in longevity, there's never been a player like LeBron James. And I think it'd be pretty cool if you went out with a ring this year because I got a feeling this may be his last. Thank you, Chris. In Syracuse. Yeah, LeBron, 1297 games where he scored in double digits. He's getting a lot of credit because three seconds to go, he had a chance, he had the ball in his hands and he drove and kicked out to Rory.

A (24:30)

Easy for me to say, that's Rui Hajimura. Is that right, Marvin? That is correct. Okay, thank you. He kicked it out for him. He hit the three and they ended up winning the game. Yes. Paulie. I'm kind of glad the streak ended because I didn't know he had that streak. It's not like public knowledge. And I saw that last time, like, oh my God, that's nuts. Not to have one game where you just not just off night, but like Hammy in the second half, cramp up, leave. That's really nutty. Well, the previous game he had to go right down to the wire. Staying in a game, getting blown out to try to get to 10 points. Yes, Marvin. The last time he scored under 10 points, Mike Tomlin wasn't the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nice. I don't know if the iPhone had been invented. I think Cooper flag was only two weeks old. It's been a long time there. And yeah, we're going to look at LeBron the totality of his career. And it'll be hard to argue that that's not the best player of all time. And I still go back and I don't want to get into the argument. I just want to point this out again. If I'm an owner of a team and I get Mike and I'm going to get him for, let's say, 13 years, or I'm going to get LeBron for 21, 22 years as a businessman, I'm going to take 21, 22 years at a really high level. And I think he was second team all NBA last year. Now, has he fallen off? Yes. I don't know how healthy he is, but has not looked good. Some of the shots that he's taken that you would think that he would make or getting to the hoop, he just doesn't look very comfortable out there. And plus, I think he's trying to find himself with this offense. When you're watching that game, you're watching and you're going, okay, Austin Reeves is going to get his shots.

A (26:20)

Luke is not there. I think birth of his second child. But so, you know, LeBron's trying to figure out how does he fit in with this team. And I think that's what's going to be fascinating to watch because they were good team when LeBron wasn't playing. And now that he's back, his job, I think, is to blend in and not say I'm back. You know, everything goes through me. Yes, Mark, but don't you think LeBron would announce his last season before the season started so he can get the farewell tour? Allah, Kobe, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Jordan. Yeah. Yes, I would think that he would, but he might not know or didn't plan on this being his last year. You might find out during the season. Damn, I don't want to go. I don't know if I could play another game or another season, I should say. But yes, I don't think he went into this season feeling like this is my last one, because he's probably thinking, I get a full year with Luca and I like our chances here. Yeah, Paulie, I was just looking at the standings and quietly These Thunder are 21 and 1. They're winning their games by 15 and a half points. They've got 60 games left. They would have to go, what, 40, 48 wins out of the next 60 games to set the all time record. Yeah, but I don't want the all time record if I'm okc. They may not they may stumble into it by the math of it. 21 and 1. Yeah, but I don't. I would not set that as the goal. The goal is to win another title, not to have the best regular season record. If you happen to get that. Okay, But I've seen that when, you know, Golden State, you put all your efforts into it, and then all of a sudden. Now, granted, it took a heroic effort for, you know, Cleveland to beat them, but the regular season, as Greg Popovich has pointed out many, many times in previous seasons, doesn't mean anything. Just get to the postseason and win a title. Yes, Mark, but if you could kill two birds of one stone and win 74 games, you would do it, right? I just, I don't want to tax my team. I want to win championships. That's. I. It's all I care about. I don't care, you know, how many wins we're going to have. Yes, Mark, but they're molly whopping the competition. So it's not like they're winning a bunch of games by one point. The other, Jalen Williams is getting a bunch of run because they're beating these teams by 15, 20 points every night. I know, I know. Yeah, Paulie. I went back to the 1516 season to look at the Warriors. They started 24 and, oh, the 24th win was at Boston, double overtime. And then the next night in a back to back where they had to go to Milwaukee, they lost by 10 points and they were 24 and one. That was their first loss.

A (29:04)

Yeah, I remember, you know, when The Lakers won 33 in a row and you put so much effort into that. That was like 1972. But you, you know, you, you have to win every game and just, I think it taxes these teams trying to do that and, you know, go back to Golden State, they got caught up. They were going to pass the Bulls. They were going to win 73. Didn't win the title that year. And really that's when everybody says, oh, how many did they win? Oh, they won that. Did they win the title? That's all I care about. Yes, Marvin. It's all good because Oklahoma City, they're all under 25 years old anyway, so they're young legs. Then they have 18 draft picks coming up, all in the lottery. They're good for the next five years. Paul in Center City. Paul, where is Center City?

A (29:52)

Center City is north of the twin cities, about 40 minutes. It's called Center City because we're in between Chicago Lakes and the border. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Taylor's Falls, And St. Croix Falls. All right, so hey, first time sometime 6, 1, 2, 25.

A (30:15)

I keep seeing these field goals being made so easily and Aubrey looks like he's just making chip shots. And. And I know you guys have talked about this him. Has anyone suggested bringing the hashes back to what they used to be? Why they ever brought them together, I never liked. And you bring them out and get rid of the cable. I think it's going to add at least another dimension of strategy and harder. Well, college, they have those hash marks out so wide. And these are college kickers, the pros, they've made it easier. This is what we were talking about earlier this morning. What if you raised the crossbar three feet therefore these 60 yard field goals, now that affects them. But you know, once again we're getting back to penalizing somebody for being great. We are trying to penalize the Eagles for being great with the tush push. I just don't know if you want to get into the practice of that because it's like, hey, they're really good. Nobody's doing that. When somebody's throwing 50 touchdown passes, they don't say, you know what, we should let the defense get away with something here. Nobody does that. We just don't want games where it's a tush push or it's going to be a field goal. You know, the NFL's in the entertainment business. Oh, okay. Here comes another field goal. Although he is incredible with what he's doing, but now it feels like, well, we don't want games to be decided this way, but they've been decided this way. Super Bowls have been decided this way. It just. He's really good at what he does and we don't like that. Yeah, Paulie. I think it's though affecting the end of games with the touchback now going to the 35. If you're Dallas or a team with a high end kicker, you need 25, maybe 30 yards for a field goal. That's not even in question. The NFL doesn't like when things go awry like this. Like the 10 years ago with the extra point, you raise up the crossbar three feet. Now you've made 50 plus a lot harder and a lot less easy wins at the end for a field goal kicker. Yeah, I just don't like penalizing somebody who's great at what they do. I mean, did we say, man, Steph Curry's ruining the NBA. We need to move the three point shot back even further. I mean it. Brandon Aubrey has mastered this and should Be given credit for that. Yes. You know, I kind of feel like we have talked about how the three pointer is ruining the game and it needs to be addressed. Yeah, but what do you do? Are you going to move it back and then you're going to get even worse. You're going to get worse basketball because they're still going to shoot the three. But I, I can't penalize Steph Curry because he does, he does this better than anybody in history. It's like, oh, who wants to see three pointers? Yeah, Paul. And they really can't change the three point line any further back than it is. If you look at the corners, that corner spot, there's no room. You got like three feet or your heels are out of bounds.

A (33:09)

Well, you would have to extend it towards the center court. Right. You wouldn't. You can't do it on the, on the side. Exactly. But that would make this shot almost oblong where it's 2ft shorter from the sides than it would be from the top of the key. And it actually makes it better for Steph and people like him where most people can't hit it, except for like Steph Dame and like three other dudes who regularly shoot them from that far anyway. Yeah.

A (33:34)

Yeah, Paulie, we did talk about it. I think it was just yesterday's sports history. When they lowered the pitch amount of. Raise the pitch amount. They raised it. Right. They lowered it to help the offense and that was a penalty for the pitchers. It would be kind of similar if they did that for the kickers. Well, everything is supposed to be for the offense because the leading hitter in 1968 was.301. So you only had one guy batting.300 in the American League. It was Kara Yastremski.301 won the batting title. But then they dropped it from 15. The amount 15 inches down to 10 inches. And then all of a sudden, offense flourished after that. Mike in Wisconsin. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind today?

A (34:21)

Hi. Hey, Mike. I've been meaning to call for a while, but lines are busy. I'm a garbage man out here in Wisconsin and I got night team investigation already. Already did all the research. If you go to September 17th, last hour, last segment, Seaton agrees to take Penn State to beat Oregon. First break tan. Oh, okay. I'm gonna have to get the I team on that. Seaton, do you owe us a spray tan? According to Mike in Wisconsin, it's possible. It's possible. I don't remember that, but I'm not denying that it Happened. We do have a lot of these bets, but they, they're, they are. I don't know. Mario, I think writes them down. He's supposed to or he has before. So Mike will check on that and if so, Seaton will get that spray tan before Oregon. Penn State. Penn State. Yeah. Why would you have taken Penn State against a good team? I've gotta admit, I really have no idea. Okay. I mean it sounds like something I would think was smart sports wise, but.

A (35:31)

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Let's see. Nathan in Kansas. Hi Nathan. What's on your mind? Hey, DP, first time caller, love the show. 65260.

A (35:46)

Is going to run a college football playoff format for you guys and get your opinion first. It would take some oversight which I think we all agree needs to happen. But essentially have 10 team conferences where everybody plays everybody in their conference. So there's no more of the who woulda, coulda shoulda debates. And then you double the conference championship game. Take the first, the top two teams in that conference and double it as the College Football Playoff first round and have six or seven, you know, 10 team conferences. What do you guys think?

A (36:23)

Too much math for me on a Friday. Nathan. Gotta, gotta be honest with you. Yes, Paul. Dan, The I team is scrambling to find out with the bet from September with Seaton, Oregon, Penn State was legit. I did look back and going into that weekend, Penn State was the number three ranked team in the country and Oregon was number six. And it was a double overtime victory by Oregon. Man, that a different world back then. You know, I probably could have too. They have a tight end that I like a lot, Luke Reynolds. I, I, it's very possible that I would have been like, oh yeah, I'll go with Penn State just for that guy. It's possible. I could use a little, a little color though. Touch up. Yeah. Heading into the holidays. Yeah. Oh yeah, sorry. Yeah, I just got back from vacation. Yeah, send you to Mako to get that.

A (37:06)

Sam in Los Angeles. Hi Sam.

A (37:10)

Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my call. The first time. Long time. 57160.

A (37:18)

In the annals of Crappensburg State football, there once were rumblings and movements in the operations. The head of operations police Colino scoped out video that he caught wind of. It showed how the opponents taped their practices using a six person crew. This was turned over to the governing body and that brought about stiff penalties that sanctioned the opponent's nil and scholarship fund. This incident was termed cross escape. All right, thank you Sam Crappensburg State on that for sure? Yeah, I'm not quite sure. I wasn't able to follow. Once again, I'm a little drugged up today. It's a Friday, so.

A (38:05)

Maybe Paula can decipher that. I. You're not a little drugged up because it's a Friday. You're a little drugged up because you're not feeling well and it happens to be Friday. Yeah. Yeah, right. That's what I think. He's not medication Friday. Yeah. Like, yes, we all get drugged up on Fridays. No, no, not anymore. Okay.

Seaton, would you update the poll results from the first 45 minutes of the program? Yeah, put up there. Would you rather your team have the best wide receiver or the best kick 71 have wide receiver. Okay. All right. Well, if you said I can have Justin Jefferson or Brandon Aubrey, what if you posed it that way or you said you can have CD Lamb, you can have Brandon Aubrey.

A (43:46)

Would that change people's opinion that everybody's all in on a wide receiver? But these games, how many one score games have we had this season? I think we're at an all time high. It comes down to one score. And if you got that guy who can tie a game or win a game and you know, anything inside 70 yards, I mean, that's an incredible weapon to have. David in Ohio. Hi, David. What's on your mind today?

A (44:15)

Hey, good morning, Dan. Happy meet Friday. Got some Cowboys roast content for you real quick. Amazon actually has a better chance of delivering a package to you on your doorstep on Super Bowl Sunday than the Cowboys do. Let's put an Amazon terms real quick. Cowboys super bowl appearances out of stock since 1995. Estimated return date currently unavailable. No known restock fans under 30. Wait, Dallas used to win championships. Last one prime tracking status stuck in transit. Delayed, lost and returned to sender. Thank you. All right, thank you, David. Little Cowboys roast there. Todd in North Carolina. Hi, Todd. What's on your mind today? Today? Guys, I was just with all this talk about field goal kicking and the explosion of the passing attack in the last several decades, what do you think the game would be like if they move the field goal post back so where the crossbar was even with the goal line.

A (45:14)

So move it back 10 yards, move it forward so that the crossbar is even with the goal line and the post is right in the middle of the end zone like it used to be? Oh, no.

A (45:26)

No. Because you had guys who got hurt running into the post there. Yes, Paul, When I was a kid, I used to nerd out on those NFL films and I'd see like the old Chiefs players or Eagles players. And the goal post was right in the middle of the end zone. It was like a natural pick. And I love that it was there for years, for decades. And someone goes, you know what? This might be a hazard. And they had some meeting. And someone probably called someone soft.

A (45:51)

It's like you're going, wow, that you got to navigate around that thing. Because it was somebody's decision at some point, like, much to Paul's thought, like, wait, why don't we get rid of this? Somebody was like, where should we put this thing? Off to the side? No, no, put it right in the middle of the end zone. Right in the middle. Make them run around it. It'll be perfect. We'll put a pad on it. We got to put a pad on it. I'm always amazed, though. You go back and watch old school baseball, and they would have, like, a brick wall in the outfield, you know, no padding whatsoever. And I kept thinking, why not have some padding there? No, no. That takes away from the aesthetics of baseball. It's like nascar, you know, they weren't going to have any padding. Oh, we don't need padding. And then all of a sudden they go, you know, maybe it's okay to have padding. You see these big helmets now, the protective helmets, like, that's eventually coming. And we'll be fine with it, you know, because we will. I think we initially object. We go, oh, my God, this looks terrible. And then after that, they're gonna modify and make them look a little more aesthetically pleasing. And then we'll be like, all right. And then we'll move on to something else that we can complain about. Yeah, Paul, I went back and looked at the history of the NFL, and up until the mid-60s, the goal post used to have two bases in the end zone. So there's two places for you to get picked or hit. And then some guy goes, you know what? We're going to cut it down to one and really protect these players in the mid-60s. Anthony in Phoenix. Hi, Anthony. What's on your mind?

A (47:21)

Hey, Dan. Dan. It's just I'm weighing in at six one and a curvy £200.

A (47:36)

A couple items for you. One, I got a. I got a Hanukkah sports name. Maybe help out Todd's inventory there. Manny Chevitz Machado. Why not? All right, Manny Chevitz there. Yeah. And then had a question for you, Dan, about my. My beloved Arizona Cardinals. Is it just time for them to move on from Kyler Murray?

A (48:01)

Yes, yes, I I believe so.

A (48:05)

I think they're in the process of doing that. Certainly feels that way. Jameson in Colorado. Hey, Jameson.

A (48:13)

Hey, Dan. Six foot and not drugged up. Okay. Hey. Hey. I was thinking about something yesterday regarding a name for the Penn State job. I'm surprised I've not heard more, and I'm wondering maybe if, you know something, maybe I'm not thinking about out here, but the current defensive coordinator for the Bengals is Al Golden. He played at Penn State with the defense coordinator at Notre Dame. Coached at Temple right there in Pennsylvania. There's something. I'm just. I'm just surprised we're not hearing that anymore. Yeah, somebody brought that up to me yesterday after the show, brought up his name, but, yeah, it didn't get any traction or hasn't gotten any traction. Feels like it's, you know, Matt Campbell's job if he wants it. And how enticing are they going to make it? Plus, you're going in. You're already behind everybody else in the Big Ten as far as recruiting goes. Yes. Marvin, when Penn State fired James Franklin, who do you. Who did they think they were going to get to replace him? I don't know if they thought about that. I think it's, we got to fire him and then we'll worry about that later because we're Penn State and there's going to be, you know, a bunch of people waiting in line for this job. And then all of a sudden, they realized it's not as coveted as they thought it was going to be. Because you can't get to this point. Now, what are we, 54, 55 days since James Franklin was fired and you're begging Matt Campbell to leave Iowa State? That's not the way it was scripted. Yeah, Paul, it totally feels like after losing to UCLA and Northwestern back to back, the national fervor was out of hand. And I'll bet you the boosters or whoever that the collective said we got to do this now. Because let's say the next three weeks you beat Iowa and maybe you score a win against Ohio State, then that window to fire the coach that they've been talking about is over. Yeah, because if the narrative is he doesn't win the big game and then he wins the big game, and then what is your reasoning, your rationale after that? But look, if they can get Matt Campbell, that's a great comeback story for the athletic director and the chancellor and the president at Penn State. That'll be their best comeback win of the season. Is the coming back from not having a coach to getting a coach like that. And I think he's in his mid-40s. He's an Ohio guy. I'm sure he grew up with the Big Ten and done a great job at Iowa State as well and had opportunities elsewhere. You know, they talked about him at usc. They've talked about him at Notre Dame years ago. NFL jobs as well. He was up for that. And I got the feeling he might be sort of the Kirk Ference of Iowa State, where he was just going to stay. And he might be. He might stay there, but he's going to get a nice contract extension like everybody else. You know the number of coaches who benefited from James Franklin being fired.
