Hour 1 – Curt Cignetti Has Done the Impossible at Indiana, Fireworks Expected from Notre Dame

00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio Our one.

00:00:05
Speaker 2: On this Tuesday, Dan and the Dana's Dan Patrick Show will recap what happened with the Eagles Chargers last night and moving forward, try to figure out just how good these teams are. The Chargers now nine to four, Philly is eight and five. The Colts are looking at Philip Rivers, grandfather Philip Rivers, as their quarterback. They need a quarterback. Riley Leonard, who was the backup quarterback, got injured as he came in in relief over the weekend, and now all of a sudden, you don't have a healthy quarterback. So they've reached out to Philip Rivers, who, according to NFL Network and ESPN, worked out last night. They said he threw the ball. Well, okay, sure, why not bring him in? And it made me wonder about this if I said, look at the games coming up this weekend. You got the Bills and the Patriots. That's at the Patriots, and the Bills are favored by one and a half. Chargers and the Chiefs. Okay, the Chiefs, that's the point spread for next week. Okay, Packers Broncos coming up this next week Packers minus two and a half at the Broncos.

00:01:14
Speaker 3: You have the Lions in the Rams.

00:01:17
Speaker 2: Well, what if I said you got the Colts game against Seattle of all of the games. If I said Philip River is going to be the starting quarterback for the Colts at age forty four, and you're you're gonna throw him into Seattle against that defense. Of all the games, are you tuning in to watch Grandpa and the Colts facing Maybe that's how they promoted coming on Grandpa and the Colts face the Seattle Seahawks and vaunted defense.

00:01:49
Speaker 3: That's next.

00:01:50
Speaker 2: The Colts are thirteen and a half point underdogs, but Lions Rams is great Packers, Broncos, great Chargers. Chief Maybe we finally put a steak into the Chiefs, but the Chiefs are favored by three and a half. And then the Bills at the Patriots is spicy as well. If I have multiple TVs, I gotta have the Colts and the Seahawks on. But you're going to have and I'm looking at the window here, Chiefs probably would be four o'clock, Broncos four o'clock, Lions at the Rams four o'clock, And then are they going to have those earlier.

00:02:31
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul Chargers Chiefs a one pm Eastern game, oh.

00:02:35
Speaker 2: Surprisingly, Okay, Bill's Patriots will be a one o'clock Okay, So you got Packers Broncos, Lions, Rams, Colts, Seahawks. If Philip Rivers is the starting quarterback, if you do priority lists, there, where are you putting Colt's Seahawks. Comparing that with Packers Broncos, Lions, Rams, Lions Rams is great. Lions are getting five and a half at the Rams. But then the Packers are favored at Denver, which is interesting. And then you got the Colts against the Seahawnks. All right, come on in. You know, when ever somebody says I've seen everything, you have it not in sports. I mean crazy things happen all the time. I mean the fact that Indiana's playing for a national championship and going to have the Heisman Trophy winner. You thought you would say, okay, here's another one. If I would have said to you twenty years ago, you know, Indiana is going to have the Heisman Trophy winner, and Vanderbilt will have a Heisman Trophy candidate, and Indiana is going to be the number one team in football, you'd be going no way, not possible. But both of these schools great stories this year. And that's the quick turnaround that you can have with nil collectibles, the portal, all of that. And you've seen that with Indiana, certainly with what Kurt Signetti has done. And I'm going to say this again, and I'm not trying to disparage what Dion did at Colorado, but boy to the media make a big deal about what Dion did at Colorado. Kurt Signetti did that times a thousand at Indiana, and there's very little fanfare for Kurt Signetti because he's not going to get clicks. Indiana's not going to get clicks. Dion is going to get clicks. And the media plays and had played to that, you know, game days out there and he's just taking a one win team and they're winning four games and then they had a bigger turnaround after that, and you did have the Heisman Trophy winner. But Kurt Signetti is going to play for a national championship, or at least he's in the mix. They're the number one team in the country. They have the Heisman Trophy winner as well. I don't want to undersell what he did at Indiana. Deon did a wonderful job. Dion brings eyeballs, he gets clicks. But Urt Signetti staying at Indiana Penn State was going to offer him probably whatever he wanted, and he said, nope, I'm going to stay here and sign that what nine year deal. But that's it's incredible to think about that as a possibility in college football. And you're doing it in the Big Ten. So it's not like you're an outlier SMU or Boise State or Arizona State. You're doing it in the Big Ten and you're going to have the Heisman Trophy winner. They did announce the four players who will go to New York. Jeremiah Love, you got Mendoza, you got Pavilla, and then you got saying they're all going to New York. Those are the Heisman finalists. I'm not allowed to say who I voted for. They said, you know, can you wait until after the ceremony, So and due respect to that, I will give you who I voted. You know, you list three players. You can list three players, and I did. I listed three players. So eight seven seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show good morning.

00:06:49
Speaker 2: Gangs all here, Fritzy Seat and Marv Paula, Yours Truly and the backroom guys. Notre Dame as a press conference coming up at noon Eastern now that was scheduled. We had Pete Babakua he is the athletic director at Notre Dame. He of course came on yesterday and talked about, you know, the damage that was done between the relationship between Notre Dame and the ACC. Speculation now once again speculation. I don't know anything about this. I have inquired, I didn't get responses back from my two sources. Is Notre Dame planning a bigger picture here? Is Notre Dame going to say to the ACC, maybe, starting in the new year, we're going to take all of our balls and go home. We're going to take all of our sports and take it out of the ACC. It certainly felt that way that there was. Notre Dame was hot with what happened. And I'll go back to a source of mine who knows what went on in that college football playoff committee meeting on Saturday and said that the ACC spent three hours of the committee's time talking about Notre Dame and my and Notre Dame thinks, hey, did you guys fight for us? We're kind of in the ACC, but we're not. And it's almost like if this was a CD, if this was music, it'd be the ACC feat Notre Dame. That's kind of what the ACC is. But the ACC went to bat for Miami, and once again, I have no problem Miami getting in. I have a problem with the logic of this is where we had Notre Dame, this is where we had Miami and nothing really changed until it changed. And Alabama not dropping after getting blown out the SEC title game. Those are the only things I'm questioning. You can put in other schools in there. It could be the other way around. If Miami was ranked in front of Notre Dame for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks, and all of a sudden, Notre Dame jumps them, people be in an uproar, right, Oh Notre Dame preferential treatment. Okay, So just be fair to the situation, which is what I'm trying to be. I don't like that Notre Dame's not playing in a bowl game. I don't like the possibility of them saying, hey, we don't like what you did. We're taking our sports out of the ACC. But you know, the thing I thought of is if you're Notre Dame and you say to the ACC, ac ciya, we're going to the Big Ten. We're going to take all of our sports to the Big Ten and we're going to try to do a partial schedule with the Big Ten with Notre Dame football. Is that where we're headed? Because it felt like so Petelevaqua comes on. I have a relationship with him, and he does that interview and he tells me how he feels about the acc and the damage is that you know is done and you know when you have the athletic director make a declaration like that, it doesn't feel like they're going to go quietly here. It feels like there's going to be an announcement coming up here at noon Eastern, but we'll be off the air. But that would be my speculation. And once again I have I'm not reporting anything other than let me think about this and add logic to this and what exactly what he was he saying to me and what does this mean in a bigger picture here?

00:10:15
Speaker 3: All right, we'll get phone calls eight seven to seven to three.

00:10:17
Speaker 2: DP Show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show Reggie Miller. A little bit later on, we'll have more on the Eagles subpar performance last night, more on the possibility of Philip Rivers being the starting quarterback for the Colts. Unbelievable, satan. What's the poll question from the first hour of the program?

00:10:39
Speaker 5: Well, why don't we start right there with Philip Rivers and the Colts. Philip coming back to quarterback the Colts is a great idea and terrible idea.

00:10:46
Speaker 3: Why don't we play great idea? Terrible idea?

00:10:50
Speaker 2: Oh, it's kind of a sad idea that you've gotten to that point is this would have been Riley Leonard's, you know, time to shine. But now he still could play. He got injured in that game over the weekend, he banged up his knee. He scored a touchdown, and at least he gives you a quarterback who is, you know, in the twenties, in his twenties, not in his forties. Philip Rivers could be Riley Leonard's dad, and maybe he's gonna be out there playing. It's not like Philip Rivers lost arm strength or mobility because he didn't have either one of them.

00:11:30
Speaker 3: And you're gonna have him.

00:11:31
Speaker 2: In Seattle against that defense, Oh god, you're gonna have He's gonna be arriving in a walker and then you know, like Seattle's defense is going to be helping him up, you know, walking him to the curb here across the crosswalk.

00:11:48
Speaker 3: All right, so that's one pole question. What else do you have?

00:11:51
Speaker 6: It is?

00:11:51
Speaker 5: We got another one here from Paul Man. They're in trouble. That's the question. Got of statement. Okay for the comment in there, man, Man, they're in trouble. Okay, all Colts, Chiefs, Eagles, Ravens. Man, they are all in trouble.

00:12:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Colts, you know the Eagles.

00:12:10
Speaker 2: I didn't have a good feeling to start the year, and I you know, watching last night, you can't have a good feeling now. The schedule isn't demanding, but you're trying to figure out where you're going to be in the NFC playoffs? Are you going to host a playoff game? You're gonna win your division? Then you got to see where do we stack up here? Are they the second best team right now? I think the Rams are the best team of the NFC, But you got the Niners and you got Seattle. Green Bay is really good too. I put green Bay over the Eagles right now as well. The fact that green Bay is going to Denver in green Bay is a two and a half point favorite. Man that tells you a lot about what Vegas thinks. So the Chiefs, we know they're done done ish Hey, until they're eliminated, they're in it. Because if you said, okay, if you said the Chiefs made the playoffs, where would you put them in the pecking order of the AFC of chances to go to the Super Bowl? Would you put them over the Bills? Would you put them over the Patriots? Once again, the Chiefs are going to be playing on the road. They're not going to win the division, which if they played the Chargers, if they played the Broncos, like, they still have that impact at least that thought.

00:13:31
Speaker 3: Of damn they got fifteen Yes, Marvin.

00:13:34
Speaker 6: You just named all those teams, and I'm like, the Chiefs are the favorite.

00:13:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, Vegas would still love them if they're going to make the playoffs. Vegas would still love them to be able to go to the super Bowl.

00:13:45
Speaker 3: All right?

00:13:46
Speaker 2: Any other I like both of those poll questions. There anything else, Seaton Before we take a break. I think we're going to ride with those two for the first hour. Okay, we'll talk about the Chargers as well, justin Herbert playing through a broken hand, and they played well enough that secondary is really good. You know, the Chargers defense is really good. And you're just o maryon Hampton what they needed him. And when you think of all the injuries with the Chargers, the fact that they're where they are right now says a whole lot. Here's Jim Harbaugh talking about just how big that win was last night.

00:14:23
Speaker 7: This is definitely, I don't maybe the best best feeling, you know, just a wonderful, wonderful feeling of winning and thrill of victory. It's certainly in the discussion I put in the discussion the birth of my seven children, my marriage, you know, in the conversation, in the conversation, just joyful.

00:14:44
Speaker 3: He is a character. He's a character. All Right, we're gonna take a break. Phone calls, they're welcome.

00:14:52
Speaker 2: We'll get to those coming up, Reggie a little bit later on, and uh, we're back after this on The Dan Patrick Show.

00:15:38
Speaker 2: Away if you're watching on peacock. I got a Lane Kiffin bobblehead that was sent in the mail to me. But here is actually I got two of them. This is from a billion Oxford and he sent me two of them. One of them has a broken hand and he said that that was a casualty when he found out that Lane Kiffen was leaving to go to LSU. So he sent me one that is, you know, completely intact that we're showing now. But then he also gave me the one that I have that I'm holding here, and it's got Lane Kiffen with one hand, Yes.

00:16:17
Speaker 4: Paul, And that's a new thin Lane Kiffen with the visor and shredfest.

00:16:21
Speaker 2: I think that's Poloti lane Kiffen. Yeah, palates. So he says that he gave me two Lane Kiffen bobble heads. They were given away with the purchase of a chicken on a stick at the Exxon gas station in Oxford, and he hopes that we could find a home here.

00:16:41
Speaker 3: He said that the.

00:16:43
Speaker 2: Broken hand on one of the dolls was not the result of any outburst of emotion from this past weekend, but a cat incident that occurred years ago.

00:16:53
Speaker 3: So all right, thank you, Billy, Yes, PAULI.

00:16:56
Speaker 4: Who invented sports bobbleheads? Have they been around forever?

00:17:00
Speaker 3: Well? How long is forever?

00:17:02
Speaker 8: Like?

00:17:03
Speaker 4: Do you remember them when you were a kid. I don't really remember them when I was a kid. Bobblehead's being a toy or a gift.

00:17:12
Speaker 2: I remember getting one at ESPN, a bobblehead for me, and that had to be thirty five years ago. Thirty a good thirty plus years ago, Yes, tod, Yeah, I'm with Paulie.

00:17:29
Speaker 6: I don't remember that growing up as all. I know, we're in our mid fifties.

00:17:31
Speaker 9: But you know, there's there's wind up toys, and there's things that maybe wiggle or shake a little bit, but I don't remember that.

00:17:36
Speaker 6: It was always about like trading cards and things like that.

00:17:39
Speaker 2: I always felt like every bobblehead looked the same. That you'd be like, oh, look at that one, and then somebody would say, oh, there's a George W. Bush and then there's you, and it looked just the same, and I'd be like, all right, let's maybe differentiate here a little bit.

00:17:55
Speaker 3: And they've gotten a lot more. I mean I got a ton of.

00:17:57
Speaker 2: Them behind seat and in Fritzy, Yeah, PAULI.

00:18:01
Speaker 4: The first bobblehead sports I could find created was back in the mid sixties major League Baseball, leading up to the World Series, they randomly over a couple of years did bibbleheads of Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente, and Roger Marris, and it never really caught on until the eighties with other sports.

00:18:20
Speaker 3: You know what, I remember seeing those. I remember seeing those, and I probably should have kept a couple of those.

00:18:26
Speaker 2: I kept everything, and then there's certain things where I go, why didn't I keep that or those? Dylan just sent me a crazy stat and this is courtesy of bleacher Report. Jalen Hurts. His QBR last night was thirty one point three. He had four interceptions. He also lost to fumble. He had an interception and lost to fumble on the same play. Here's your QBR. If you spike the ball every single play, so all you do is spike the ball every single play, your QBR is thirty nine point six. Your QBR was spiking the ball every single play, would have been better than Jalen Hurts last night at thirty one point three. Jalen Hurts first player to commit two turnovers on the same play since nineteen seventy eight, when the NFL began tracking play by play data. Four interceptions, one fumble. One of the interceptions was not his fault. AJ Brown kind of short handed, it had alligator arms there. But that charger defense is really good. Secondary's really good. And they got after him. They got after him last night. But the Eagles got after you know, justin Herbert as well.

00:19:51
Speaker 10: Well.

00:19:51
Speaker 3: They have seven sacks.

00:19:53
Speaker 2: You get seven sacks and you get Saquon Barkley one hundred and twenty yards and you don't win that game. Now, they kept it close, but you got to win those games. Let's see a couple of phone calls in here, Greg and Michigan leads us off. Good morning, Greg, what's on your mind?

00:20:09
Speaker 3: Today.

00:20:10
Speaker 8: Good morning Cama man, mister positive. Hey, gotta love my Josh, Elvis Allen and the Bills. Let me tell you and real quick, Stephen A. Smith mentioned you yesterday in the show. It's fantastic. I don't exactly know what it was, but put you out there. Hey. And if you ever talked politics, get my buddy Chris Clomo. But here's the thing I got to ask you. Might Detroit Lions, the Bears and the Packers are playing great. Do they have a fighter's chance?

00:20:42
Speaker 3: I mean, of course they do. That's a really good team, PAULI give me the schedule.

00:20:49
Speaker 2: They got the Rams coming up this weekend in Los Angeles.

00:20:53
Speaker 4: At the Rams, hosts of Steelers, at the Vikings, at the Bears to end.

00:20:57
Speaker 2: It be tough, gonna be tough.

00:21:03
Speaker 3: But I still think they're better than the Bears and the Packers.

00:21:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paul, Packers have Broncos, Bears, Ravens, Vikings. Okay, somewhat friendly after the Broncos game.

00:21:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, Colts started out seven and one.

00:21:18
Speaker 2: How many teams start out seven and one and don't make the playoffs because that Colt's strength to schedule is really really difficult, and you don't even have a quarterback.

00:21:29
Speaker 3: And if you do, he's forty four years of age. Oh my goodness.

00:21:34
Speaker 2: Either that or you got a twenty three year old rookie and Riley Leonard. Either way doesn't look good. This was a feel good story. This was this was a story that was kind of rivaling the Indiana Hoosiers, like, all right, who is this team?

00:21:50
Speaker 3: You know?

00:21:51
Speaker 2: There was similarities of parallel like nobody thought this was going to happen.

00:21:55
Speaker 3: Hey, we found our quarterback. Our running back's really good.

00:21:58
Speaker 2: We can win this division in seven and one, and now I don't think they're going to make the playoffs. Thanks for the phone call, Greg Buddha is back from San Francisco.

00:22:09
Speaker 3: I boota.

00:22:12
Speaker 11: What ut DP Happy Tuesday, Dan, I am calling in today with an enthusiasm unknown to man time. Baby, let's go, Dan. We all know the Chargers that fooled you before, but seeing them pull it out last night without any crazy chargery was kind of refreshing and fun to watch. And please, please, please, Dad, let's have Phil Rivers come back. It's all about content, baby, and Dan, I was thinking about this yesterday to the whole college football fiasco that is, I mean today Bobby Knight must be rolling in his grave watching all of this. Indiana's rank number one, Notre Dame ranked at an ironic fritzy eleven. And honestly, I watched him listen to all of the explanations by all the professionals, Dan, and it just seems like a like a version of Doctor Phil explained a bunch of nothing about a bunch of nothing, and at the end of the day, it's just all not God.

00:23:14
Speaker 3: Thank you, Buddha, Christ and Syracuse.

00:23:15
Speaker 12: Hi, Chris, Hey, Thanks Dan, Hey, A couple things for you.

00:23:20
Speaker 8: Hey.

00:23:20
Speaker 12: You know, the first few years of the BCS and it's fourteen format, they had a hard time finding four teams that were worthy of being in the playoffs, and a lot of those games ended up being blowouts. Now, with then I on the transfer portal, the twelve team format isn't enough, and I think it's great for college football and especially college football fans. And Dan, your interview with Notre Dame's ad yesterday was played everywhere and kind of like your Russell Wilson interview a few years ago. It seems like whenever a high profile executive, coach or player wants to get a message out through the media. You're the one they trust to get it out there in histry Urine, I, I don't know if there's.

00:24:03
Speaker 10: A bigger compliment.

00:24:05
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Chris Now. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to ask the questions. The question is will they answer those questions? Because I can ask the Notre Dame Athletic director questions about the acc leaving the acc what does he mean when he says, you know the damage that's done, but he has to be willing to answer. It's like Russell Wilson had been on the show twenty times prior to the one time he came on and was actually honest, actually gave me true emotion, true feelings. But that's that's the you know, it's the hit or miss that you have with this, and sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss. Zach and Knoxville, Hi, Zach, what's on your mind today?

00:24:49
Speaker 13: ADP, Thanks for taking my call. Sorry about the technical difficulties yesterday. I just wanted to do address. I'm not saying you're given Notre Dame a pass, but let's to be clear on something. They are not a victim, and I understand the whole hoodwinks being ranked ahead of Miami. But if you look at their schedule, I don't think that they've beaten anybody better than Auburn, who Alabama obviously beating the Iron Bowl. And I'm not saying Alabama should be in either. I just think that the coverage seems to be a little bit of Notre Dames isn't getting in. But they didn't play anybody at the end of the year, and the two teams that you played that were worth a crap you didn't win.

00:25:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Zach, I'm not giving Notre Dame a pass.

00:25:36
Speaker 2: If this was reversed and it was Miami ranked in front of Notre Dame for five weeks and then all of a sudden, Notre Dame jumped them, you don't think the media would have been all over Notre Dame. The media given them preferential treatment. I'm not given it doesn't matter. I couldn't care less that if it's Notre Dame or if it's Miami, if it's all Obama, I got to be fair to what is going on, and I don't think it was fair to the system that they've created.

00:26:08
Speaker 3: That's all. I'm not giving him a pass.

00:26:11
Speaker 2: I gave him the opportunity to explain why they're mad at the ACC. Did the ACC say things disparaging things about Notre Dame in the College Football Playoffs selection committee? That I mean, that's what I'm curious about. Not I give them a hall pass. What's the hall pass I'm giving them. I understand why they're frustrated, but if it was reversed, I would understand why Miami was frustrated. This isn't about Notre Dame. If Alabama, Alabama didn't move and they got blown out by Georgia. And I'll go back to what I said to you. That happened last week when I talked to a source who said they, in their minds, they thought that the committee was setting up Notre Dame to be disappointed. Okay, that's from a source. And what happened, Notre Dame got disappointed. So this isn't a hall pass for Notre Dame. They should play in a bull game. I'm disappointed they're not. I understand why they're not, but I wish they would have. They may leave the ACC, Okay, they may go to the Big Ten with their other sports, Okay, but I'm not sitting here playing favorites and I did push back with Pete, like, you know, why are you doing this?

00:27:38
Speaker 3: You know what?

00:27:39
Speaker 2: You know, even when I said, oh, it sounds like sour grapes or somebody might say that, and it does sound like that with a portion of this your Notre Dame. You can be bigger than this, You can be better than this. And it didn't sound that way yesterday at times. But I understand the frustration. Take Notre Dame out of that and just put two schools in there. Your school is ahead of somebody for five weeks and then and nothing changed, and then it changed, and your reaction would be what And that's all I'm asking you to do. Understand the situation. And this is on the college football playoff committee and whatever the fallout is. Maybe there's change because of this, But in no way do I sit here and go man, Notre Dame, how do I help them? Notre Dame doesn't need my help? Andrew in Washington, Hi Andrew, what's on your mind today?

00:28:45
Speaker 14: Hey Andrew, good morning, Dan Dennet's thanks for taking my call. I agree with you. You didn't show any favoritism yesterday to Pete Babaqua. That was just an excellent interview. I echo the sentiments of Christ and Syracuse where you were like a conduit for the whole nation as far as how Miami felt. And in that I mean, I think it's just the latest Catholics versus Convicts game and Miami revenge that two point conversion they lost by in nineteen eighty eight by jumping up in the thing, and so you.

00:29:13
Speaker 10: Know, hey, rivalries die hard.

00:29:15
Speaker 14: But one other thing that I noticed was permanent damage is a pretty uh, you know, important term in any relationships. So I think that you know your your sentiment where you're trying to get some information on if they're leaving the a SEC, it's probably going to be true. Last night, I've seen some reports that the Eagles are still using a Shane Styke and offense. I don't know if you heard that. They haven't really changed the terminology and the only difference between this year and last year was Saquon Barkley was a new weapon for him. So I don't know if you've heard any of that. And Dan, real quick, if you don't mind, I haust out of the day. So last night, Derek Queen scored thirty three points, grabbed ten rebounds, and dissed out ten assists last night for the Pelicans to become the only the fifth NBA player to have a thirty point triple double before the age of twenty one, joining Lebron, Luca, Yared Box and Wemby.

00:30:05
Speaker 2: Steat of the day, Sat of the Day, that beast stad of the day, stat of the day?

00:30:12
Speaker 6: Here comes that?

00:30:13
Speaker 3: What stat of the day? Now?

00:30:18
Speaker 2: Did Chris say that he's the first rookie since Wemby? But also or he's in that category with Wemby and Lebron and who else?

00:30:28
Speaker 6: Luca?

00:30:30
Speaker 2: Okay, Austin Reeves had a triple double in twenty twenty two, a thirty point triple double in twenty twenty two.

00:30:37
Speaker 6: But I think he said before the age of twenty one.

00:30:39
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, well then, and they traded up to get Derek Queen they did. Yeah, and he's played pretty well for them. I didn't necessarily see it in college. Was he at NC State?

00:30:50
Speaker 3: He's a Maryland Maryland, Maryland?

00:30:52
Speaker 4: Okay, a little bit of a breakout year last year.

00:30:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:30:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, Let's see a couple more phone calls, Robin Saint Louis, Hi, Rob, what's on your mind today?

00:31:03
Speaker 3: Dan?

00:31:04
Speaker 10: You know I've got two things for you today on one's a Question and one's a comment. This whole thing with Notre Dame, this is the best thing that can happen for college football, and Notre Dame deserves exactly what they're getting. This is called come up and you don't want it to play by the rules. You want your own little station. You want to be on prime time every Saturday night. This is what you're going to get. People are gonna come after you, and this is exactly what happened. Now. I got a question for you. Last night, I finally got to see a Monday night football game on ABC because I don't have cable. These people are losing a lot of viewers, aren't they. How So, well, if you can't watch the game on ESPN because you don't have ESPN, you just don't watch the game, or you go to maybe a go to a bar and you don't listen to the sounds so you don't see the advertising.

00:31:58
Speaker 3: Is basic cable though?

00:32:01
Speaker 10: Well? Who has basic kidnymore?

00:32:04
Speaker 2: Well, okay, thank you, Ron, I don't know where he's going.

00:32:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I got YouTube TV, Yeah, paulin.

00:32:16
Speaker 4: Sunday Night football, Monday Night football are the too easiest sports to find an America.

00:32:20
Speaker 2: Probably, Yeah, Thursday, good luck with that. Yeah, good luck with that.

00:32:24
Speaker 5: By the way, Notre Dames come up, and this is going to back them into an unbelievable deal, probably with the Big Ten.

00:32:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, really showed them. Yeah, I don't play.

00:32:35
Speaker 2: I hope you know me well enough by listening and doing this for forty years.

00:32:40
Speaker 3: I'm not playing favorites here. You know, you just have to tell the story.

00:32:44
Speaker 2: My job as an interviewer is to be a conduit to information that somebody wants to give to my audience, that's all.

00:32:53
Speaker 3: And asking the right.

00:32:54
Speaker 2: Questions, okay, it's I take great pride in it, and you want to get the right answers, and you can challenge in a way that you don't raise your voice.

00:33:06
Speaker 3: That's all.

00:33:06
Speaker 2: That's the way I was taught the way I continue to do it. But if you think I gave Notre Dame a pass, that's on you. It was never any preconceived notion that I'm going to somehow be a soft landing for them, because I'm telling you right now, I don't agree with them not playing in a Bowl game. I don't like it. It feels a little bit more elitist and they may bounce out of the ACC because of this, but I do understand where they're ranked. Take Notre Dame out of this and put your school in there, and if it happened to you, you'd be shouting from the mountaintops.

00:33:43
Speaker 3: You would be yeah pulling.

00:33:44
Speaker 4: Based off all the reports, the Notre Dame team and players made the decision not to play in the bowl game within an hour of the selection show. Do you think if they had a little more time, they may have realized this is the last time eighty percent of them are ever going to play competitive football and he with their friends and teammates and get a week down in Florida. And I know it's an exhibition game, but to spend one more week or three more weeks of practice.

00:34:08
Speaker 2: Yeah matter how many of your teammates were not going to play in that game.

00:34:12
Speaker 4: But those guys are okay, then the other ninety five can play.

00:34:15
Speaker 2: I always think you should play another game if you can, because if Jeremiah Love is not going to play, I want to see who is replacements going to be. I want to be ready. I always want to have one more game as a coach. I want to get guys in there, playing in you know, real games there. But I understand your frosty because of this, and you're going to be playing in the pop Tard Bowl and nothing to gain.

00:34:41
Speaker 3: If you beat BYU. Yes see.

00:34:43
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:34:43
Speaker 5: The timing of that does sort of suggest that it's an emotional reaction, which isn't really the best way to do that.

00:34:49
Speaker 2: And all of this feels emotional. I'm wondering if you said, a Notre Dame, let's wait a week and then have Pete Levaka, the athletic director, address the media or the players get to vote on this that you know, you remove yourself from that if you say, hey, we didn't make the playoffs, we don't want to play. Okay, I get that, all right, let me take a break. We got our play of the day up next.

Speaker 1: Is the play of the day.

00:35:35
Speaker 10: Check this out.

00:35:35
Speaker 3: Hurts in the shot gun. A touchdown would win it for the Eagles. Hurtz pulls it, throws.

00:35:42
Speaker 15: Intercepted, game over intercepted game over, game over the forth interception Tony Jefferson unbelievable, uncedes it.

00:35:54
Speaker 2: Courtesy of the Chargers Radio Network. Chargers have won five of their last six. Here's the stat there, holding their opponents to twenty points or less in each of those five wins. We tend to talk about the coach and the quarterback, talk about the defense with the Chargers still driving that trusty old ride, keep it looking sharp with Mako from dense to faded paint. They got you covered. Literally, get a free estimate today? Uh oh, better get Maco. Devin in Phoenix, Hey Devin, what's on your mind today?

00:36:26
Speaker 16: Hey?

00:36:27
Speaker 3: What's up? Dan Ayman?

00:36:28
Speaker 16: Six?

00:36:29
Speaker 17: First time callers six to one in a Husky two fifty five? Hey, after your awesome interview, which, by the way, I think we underestimate some silence in some of those questions that you asked.

00:36:43
Speaker 18: I thought it was awesome.

00:36:44
Speaker 17: We all feel it, you know, and you ask something like, well, how so after Pete Ba Bakwa's response to one of the questions.

00:36:51
Speaker 3: But my question for.

00:36:53
Speaker 17: You is, have we thought about what would have happened if Virginia had won that game and gotten into represent the ACC with all of the money, the talks, the contracts both in the room that are vying for ACC and what that money means not only to a team but to an entire conference in the landscape. I just wonder, if Virginia had won, does that allow Notre Dame to stay put versus being moved down and sitting on their couch.

00:37:19
Speaker 3: So just a thought, and thanks for all you guys do to keep me laughing every morning. Have a good one.

00:37:23
Speaker 2: Thank you, Devin. Well, Miami moved ahead of Notre Dame and they would have gotten in. I'm guessing, you know, was Virginia guaranteed of getting into the playoffs if they won the ACC?

00:37:38
Speaker 4: Yes, because they were ranked going into the game. What was their ranking though, Yes, Marvin, I know they were tending two.

00:37:49
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:37:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not to say they weren't worthy of it.

00:37:52
Speaker 2: But I wasn't following, you know, I was actually rooting for Duke to win because it would just be chaos the five loss team is in the ACC title game.

00:38:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauli, Virginia was ranked seventeenth in the country going into the game. Okay, so that means they're automatic. I gotta check what would have been out.

00:38:10
Speaker 2: Okay, it's hard to keep up with the math of all of this or the logic, I should say, or the lack thereof.

00:38:22
Speaker 3: Let's see.

00:38:26
Speaker 2: Becky in Wisconsin. Hi, Becky, what's on your mind?

00:38:30
Speaker 16: Hey, good March guys. I just wanted to say Happy Holidays everybody, and I got a quick wager for Todd.

00:38:36
Speaker 3: Oh.

00:38:36
Speaker 16: I was hoping, since I am a big Tiger fan, I could do a straight up win loss at Pie to the Face this weekend for a Sunday's game.

00:38:45
Speaker 2: Todd Green Bay, Denver in Denver, pie to the face with Becky and wiscons.

00:38:50
Speaker 9: Let's do it tough one and they're due for a loss of the rig ten straight but you know what, they're in Denver.

00:38:55
Speaker 6: I'm hoping that will give us that mile high magic edge.

00:38:58
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you got to bet there, Becky.

00:39:02
Speaker 16: Thanks all right.

00:39:06
Speaker 3: Adam in La Hi, Adam, what's on your mind today?

00:39:10
Speaker 18: Hey, good morning, DP appreciate you. Hey, just had a quick question and then it's out of the day. Quick question would be, since Norder Dame didn't get in, if you thought that they should get in, who would you have taken out? Would it had been James Madison Tulane. And then if it was both, which I think it should have been both, I don't see why I do Tulane and James matters both, man, I get the rules, whatever, But would it.

00:39:29
Speaker 8: Have been Texas?

00:39:29
Speaker 18: Would it have been Vandy? And then my quick set of the day was yeah, confirmed nineteen seventy eight, It says last Sportsborough says that Jalen Hurts the first player in NFL history to throw an interception, hand and fumble on the same play. Pretty crazy to see, but yeah, go ahead and tell me what you feel about those two teams that you would have had it instead of Tulaine and Bandy. Thanks.

00:39:49
Speaker 3: I'm glad they got in.

00:39:51
Speaker 2: Like I still root for the underdog because there's going to be a time when these teams won't get a chance to play in the playoffs, because I do think that we'll go to a more professional model.

00:40:01
Speaker 4: Yes, Paulie, there has to be some type of reward for winning your way in with a group of five or you just get rid of the group of five conferences and just tell them you have no place in this playoff.

00:40:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, we saw that with Boise Stay, we saw that with Arizona State, now I don't think they deserve first round byes like they did last year.

00:40:20
Speaker 3: Tulane and JMU. They lose their coaches.

00:40:24
Speaker 2: Now they do come back, I think to be able to coach, which I'm glad that they're doing that.

00:40:29
Speaker 3: It's just been and we talked about this six weeks ago.

00:40:32
Speaker 2: I was informed by somebody who said a sort said, there's going to be so much upheaval. Well, we've seen upheaval and it's not over yet. I don't know what Notre Dame's going to say in two hours?

00:40:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, seton, Yeah, I mean I find the press conference, the timing of that to be pretty interesting. Just with the interview and the press conference. It's a crazy what is it, seventy two hours or whatever since the announcement.

00:41:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, feels like something, something seismic is coming. And this was almost the we I'm going to do this interview with you, and he gave me a headline. Now that brings more eyeballs to this press conference Notre Dame's going to have in two hours from now. Is there a chance Philip Rivers going to play Sunday starts Sunday for the Colts against Seattle Albert Breer will join us. What's Wrong with the Eagles South Palantonio stops by, and Reggie Miller will join us as well. Busy two Hours coming up with Fritzi sat and Marv Pauley. Yours truly The Dan Patrick Show
