Danny and Dusty on the Odyssey app and 1080. I love cooking them brand of SARS-Burgets. The fan. number three here on Danny and Dusty on a Wednesday afternoon, but I had a double check that one. Wait listening on 1080 am watching along on youtube.com/1080amthefan or twitch.tv/1080amthefan. We appreciate you. We love you. And today we continue on with our college football trophy. rivalry. We got some doozies today. We do have some doozies today. We have a local bias that is clearly impacting one of the polls, but let's get through with our winners from yesterday. From our match-ups yesterday, we'll start with the worst first. The bell, Ohio, the Ohio Marshall rivalry, whooped up on the anniversary award of Bowling Green State and Kent State, which, yeah, that's it's one of the worst trophies in all of us. It's bad. It's terrible. The beehive boot featuring the the Minajatois of Utah by BYU and Utah State cleans house against the Centennial Cup between Colorado and Colorado State. That's the only time that term I've ever been used describing those three schools. Right. Totally so. I think it weird. You don't know the pineapple situation down there. Things turned sideways. How many had a round dog tears again? In this case, seven. Well, it depends. Maybe, maybe a lot if you're into the whole, you know, sister wives thing. Exactly. It means seven. Between the Fremont Cannon and the Golden Egg, I'm actually surprised this one was as lopsided as it was. Almost 83% of the vote going to the Fremont Cannon between Nevada and UNLV versus the Golden Egg Ole Miss Mississippi State. Wow. I knew the Cannon was going to win, but I didn't think it'd be a landslide. Yeah. Well, I mean the Golden Egg, it's just a just an egg, man. It's all it is. It's a golden egg. It's a weird trophy. A frat came up with it and they're like, man, whatever, good enough. And then, and what we knew was going to be a contested battle. The old Oaken bucket of Indiana and Purdue losing to the little brown jug of Michigan and Minnesota. Look at that. We are all team little Brown, Michigan and team Iowa when it comes to the Minnesota rivalries. But this is a Minnesota, Michigan war. Minnesota is very, very, very, very, very, very lucky, very, very, very attached. Look, I didn't know this about people from Minnesota, bad people back in turn of the century, bad people, racist and poisoning the water of Michigan, Michigan's bench. At least that's what Fielding Yost thought the head coach Michigan at the time. I mean, it's probably still true. They're probably still. All right. All right. Yeah, that is what it is. All right. Today's matchups, the governor's cup between Kentucky and Louisville and as far as cups go, pretty red cup. It is. It's actually, I'm not, I'm anti-cup trophies. I am as well. I am anti-cup trophies. This one is a little bit different. I mean, it's not just your normal circle. The picture doesn't, I mean, the picture doesn't really do it. Great justice because it's a cup, but it looks like kind of like a, the claret jug, almost. Yeah, it has that feel to it. Yeah. Yeah, it's a little bit of that feel to it. I like it. I'm, I'm pro Jefferson F's trophy, Florida State, Virginia. I don't know why Florida State and Virginia have a trophy game. I don't know. They just see, that seems like a weird one. What, why in the world they would have a trophy in a rivalry game. Florida State seems much better than Virginia. They're not like geographically connected. Oh, this one's the Kentucky Louisville. There's multiple governor's cups. No, I'm talking Jefferson F's. Oh, God, God, you moved, you moved on already. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. No, it's okay. It's okay. All right. Uh, but no, we have, we have the governor's cup in the land of Lincoln. Uh, land of Lincoln on this one. Illinois Northwestern, which is a pretty rad trophy. It's quite literally Abe Lincoln's hat, the top hat. We need this one. It's, and it's obviously Northwestern, Illinois, two teams in the land of Lincoln. You know, they used to play for another badass trophy. Yeah, the Tomahawk. Yeah, the sweet suit Tomahawk trophy, um, which is awesome. But then in 2009 they said, yeah, we should probably change this. We're reading the room on all the schools in Native American mascots changing. We're going to go ahead and we're going to, whoop, hot route this bad boy. And they went to the land of Lincoln trophy, which is just a bronzed top hat. It's great, which is great. You know, the first place that they, um, awarded this trophy when they made the switch was Wrigley Field. The, uh, Northwestern Illinois played in 2009 at Wrigley Field. And that's when they brought in the land of Lincoln top hat trophy, a bronze top hat fitting. It's a cool look too. It's, it is a good look. I, I definitely would put up in the upper half of trophies for sure. Moving on to the one you had the Jefferson F trophy between Florida State and UVA. Okay. Uh, it definitely, it, it very much looks like it. It's part of a Tarnex commercial. Yeah, they need to, they need to shine it up a little bit, but I'm all right with it. Looks good. It's good. Apparently they just haven't shined it ever because it's not like from like the 50s or 60s. It's from 1995. Yeah. I don't think that they've, and it feels like they just created this one out of nowhere. Yeah. Cause I don't, the, the ties aren't clear. Yeah. It's named after the founder of the university of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson and the founder of, uh, and then Thomas Jefferson's grandson, Francis Epps, who is a mayor in Tallahassee. That's why we have a rivalry game is because Thomas Jefferson's grandson was the mayor of Tallahassee. No, the reason it started is, was because Virginia was the very first team to beat Florida State in the ACC after starting 29 and O. So they, that started a rivalry too. It's like, that was the one that nobody else can beat us. So I guess we're going to do this. They started giving it out in 1995. So that, and that is going up against the textile bowl trophy, which here, but okay, between Clemson and North Carolina State, and it's just a big old saucer. I'm out on it. I'm out. I'm out on the big old saucer. Give me the Jefferson Epps trophy. Mayor of Tallahassee, apparently. Who knew? The next one, this, this is a bit of, again, poor draw, poor seating, perhaps the wagon wheel trophy between Kent State and Akron against the Paul Bunyan trophy of Michigan and Michigan State. Okay. Now, I'm a sucker for wagon wheel games, but the Michigan, Michigan State rivalry, it's, I mean, Joe, Joe, wooden action figure of Paul Bunyan. 1898 is when the rivalry started, and they started giving this, it's a ridiculous looking trophy, but they started giving the trophy back and forth in 1945. They had this rivalry is one of those ones where it has gone back and forth. Yeah. Now it's been pretty lopsided recently. Well, yeah, Michigan is just a hot night through butter for most schools in the big 10 lately, but it's Paul Bunyan. Yeah. I mean, Paul Bunyan, big presence in the big 10. We've already had Paul Bunyan's axe. Now we have Paul Bunyan himself. Yes. And so I'm going, this one, Paul Bunyan, Paul Bunyan trophy far superior. I think it's a, it's gonna be a landslide there. And then we're going to the local. Okay. The platypus, the platy, Oregon, Oregon State. Yeah. Going up against the bronze stock of Ball State in Northern Illinois. Look, local bias, I know what you wait, you guys are going to vote. You're going to vote for the platy. They are right now. It's not a good trophy. It is 81.4%. It's not a good trophy. It's a terrible trophy. It needs to look the idea. A plus S tier. Fantastic. The platy is fantastic. Yeah. The execution plot. No, like even if they were to have the play because it's made of wood because they're like it's made from wood in the great state of Oregon. Yeah, they had to do something community, right? Yeah. Well, there is great history behind this too, because the platypus trophy has been stolen multiple times over its life. I do love a good theft. Then it just disappeared for a while, like just gone. Nobody knew where it was. Turns out Oregon and Oregon State had been giving it back and forth for the water polo teams. Like, how does a trophy go from being like, Hey, the football game, the Civil War, we're going to give this trophy to they just forgot about it. We're like, I guess we'll give it away for water polo. I don't like this. Yeah. So it has come back. But what I will say, it would be better like we have the cannon that we were talking about with Nevada Reno and UNLV. They paint it every year that you win it, right? What if we like had it painted and you the little brown jug has the score of each game in like, it doesn't have to be fancy either. They do it like white out or give me like an actual like, real carved platypus. If you're gonna go wooden platypus, we need to, we need to fancy this thing up or trash it up a little bit if you're being quite honest. Either way, or you just get a brand new trophy and you say, you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna take some some rock from the Oregon coast. We're gonna take some rock from central Oregon. We're gonna meld it together just like you meld a duck and a beaver and make a platypus. And we're gonna have this badass big rock trophy. That would be cool. We could do something like that. But right now, it's just a piece of wood that vaguely resembles a platypus. Yeah, it's vaguely is a safe way to put it. Meanwhile, the bronze corn stock pretty awesome. It's three giant corn stocks on a trophy. It's pretty awesome. Look, it's trophies go. This is about as original as it gets. Yeah, man. Like if you took if you took the names off these, I don't know how you could vote for the platypus because, again, idea wonderful execution flawed. Not great idea for for northern Illinois and the bronze stock in Ball State phenomenal execution phenomenal. They didn't go abstract. They went like full on bronze corn stock. I wonder if Bonzi Wells knows about that. You know, the bronze corn stock and being a rivalry game. Men do we do we know anybody else from Ball State didn't? Is that word Letterman one? David Letterman go to Ball State. Can anybody boom goes the dynamite guy went to Ball State? The only other thing I remember about Ball State was when I was in junior high and we got to watch the Oregon State men's tournament game and Gary Payton and OSU lost to Ball State. Oh god, Papa John. John Schnatter. Wait, I thought he was Louisville. Jason Whitlock. David Letterman. Oh, Stedman. Stedman Graham. Oprah's husband. Isn't that in that. Oh, yeah. Isn't that who it is? Brad Maynard. Brad. Brad Maynard. I don't know. Punner from the Bears. Sure. Yeah, we're really digging if we're going Brady Hulk. Brady Hulk. All right. Just waking up from a nap. That's right. I don't know any of these other people. Joyce Dewitt. I'd be Janet from Three's Company. There you go. God, you would know that. Again. Come on. Three's company was in my wheelhouse. You are a lockbox of just dumb knowledge. Yeah. She was a hot summer's Priscilla Barnes. Loved Suzanne Summers. Well, Three's Company. Stedmaster. And step-by-step. Loved it all. I love her entire body of work. Could have left off the last two words. Yep. Wow. Not a lot of famous and notable alumni friends. I mean, when you've got big pop-up Papa John and David Letterman, you do a pretty good for Ball State. Are we really that excited about Papa John though? I mean, just financially. We're going Papa John. They're probably both worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Well, but Captain Voice Change. Number three is either Bonsie or Stedman. It's Stedman. It's Stedman. Yeah. It's Oprah. All right. Well, that's that's talking Ball State. Yeah. We are talking Ball State. So, an interesting group. Yeah. I'd have thought there'd be more. There you go. Vigor for Textline. Nobody calls that the platypus. It's the model in the puddle or civil war and nothing else as far as the rivalry trophy. Well, no, there's an actual rivalry trophy. The actual trophy is the platypus. It doesn't matter what you call it or not. Yeah. There's an actual trophy that's like a thing. Yeah. So. I would say so. Yeah. Yeah. All right. There you go. Those are our matchups for today. We have we're what halfway through now, the first round. Oh, really? That's 32 of 64. Hey, let's go. All right. So. Okay. Who's got a better alumni base? Ball State. Or know the Illinois or my Southern Oregon University because our top two. We have Ty Burrell. The great Phil Dunphy. Pretty good. We also have Joel David Moore. You may know him as later to nugget. No way. Yeah. From grandma's boy. Uh huh. Yeah. No, I mean, that's not surprising. Yeah. I think of when I think of Southern. Come on, man. Our gaming team's awesome. And then we also have what's her name? DRC Carden, who was in the show that you remember the show The Good Place on DC. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. She watched it. But she was she was in that. Let's see what else she in. Um, I don't know what else she's in. That's not really selling it too hard. But I feel like our two there are no letter. No, David Letterman for God's sake. I believe you also have a another Beaverton High School alumnus. And now I believe principal and head football coach at Crater High School, uh, Bo Canfield. Oh, yeah, we do. Yeah, we do. We got we got them too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a solid top three there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We get beards and strikes again. Yes. Um, I'm also trying to see here. Um, no, the the. If I ever get put on the notable alumni for Beardson, I am almost certainly going to have the lowest GPA of anyone there. Probably. Probably that'll be my achievement. Probably. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm going down this alumni list. It's not distinguished. Have you come across you yet? No, no, no. Um, but we also, we got the great Dusty McGrearty, running back. Another Dusty? Oh, yeah. Running back for the Rams and Dolphins. From Southern? Yeah. No kidding. What year? Uh, oh, four through like a six. Oh, this century? Yeah. Yeah. The pride of Warrinton high. There you go. D-Mac. Let's go. I'm back. Uh, can we have next? We're going to pivot from the illustrious alumni to, uh, your significant other coming together and making sure that you do not get, have that holiest of days on the holiest of days, Danny and Dusty, Danny, the fan.

That's how weddings are playing. Is it? Was that a thing you guys consulted? The Knot.com, yeah. During your matrimony process? Yeah, yeah, that was the whole thing. Really? Yeah. Getting married is interesting because when you get married, if you do it right, you're only supposed to do it once. So you have no frame of reference. It's like buying a house for the first time. You don't really know what's going on here. 60% of the time it works every time. Yeah, you can read up on it and you're sitting there and you're going, I don't know. Well, hey, wait, no. That means 40% of the time, if 60% is marriage and it works, okay? That's actually a better batting percentage. That is. That is. Yeah. But you know what? That means 60% of it ends in death. Oh, there's a comedian who has his bit. Have you seen the comedian who does PowerPoint presentations? He goes, you know, I think it was like 50 or 46% of marriages end in divorce. He's like, that's a bad way to look at it. Yes. You want to spin it even worse? That means 54% of marriages end in death. How about that? No, God. We don't look at it that way. I vaguely remember that one is that the same one that has the. That dude's funny, but he does PowerPoint. So the real comedians are like, oh, that's a bit like a prop comic. It's like, that's pretty funny. Whatever. Carrot tops done. Okay. Makes me laugh. Come on. I feel like that whole PowerPoint thing, isn't that the one where he has the, when there's an argument between a husband and wife, who's wrong and who's right? Yeah, he does that. He does that bit too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When you're right and she's wrong, you're wrong. We're always wrong. When you're both wrong, you're a gaffigan bit too. I mean, he feels like he's in that same vein of comedian, but all this is coming about because apparently October 12th is one of the five most popular wedding dates this year. This is, this is a shame. It is something that we need to, we need to rectify it as a country and as a nation. Why are so many people getting married in the fall? I don't know. I don't do it. I did. I mean, we got married. September 21st. We got married September 28th, but both of you guys got married in the fall, but number one, you like, I don't even know you. Mine was during COVID. Number two, it was a courthouse where it was my parents, my sister, my brother-in-law, their kids, all right, her parents, her sister, her brother-in-law. Like that's it. Yeah. So, well, mine was Bill Murray's birthday and Earth wind and fire day. Do you remember? Yes. My sister's birthday. The 21st day of September. No, exactly. Yep. The reason the least for us was like, do you want to just do it now? Because we were going to do it in the summer, but COVID pushed everything out. All right. So, we ended up doing it that way. We actually actually had a reason for it, but this is a- I loved each other so much, couldn't wait. Basically, yeah. That's long. Let's get the- Had to get it before the new year, too. That and we were house hunting, so we had to make sure all the documents, you know. But I don't ever stand the whole like purposefully planning a fall wedding on a weekend. No, but here's the bigger issue. October 12th being a date that most weddings are happening this fall is the biggest weekend in college football. And I'd argue it's probably one of the biggest weekends we've had in a decade. These are the games that you have on October 12th. Number two, Ohio State at number three, Oregon. Number six, Ole Miss at number 13, LSU. Number eight Penn State at number 23 USC. In addition to that rivalry game, Florida versus Tennessee. Also, Texas versus Oklahoma. You have Texas, Oklahoma, and the Red River rivalry, which why are we doing this? Is that game that weekend? I don't see that on here. I don't see it on October 12th. That's ridiculous. You can't have this on October 12th. It's a crime against humanity. Ole Miss, LSU, you have what, eight of the top 23 teams in the country playing each other. You can't have, oh yeah, there it is, 1230, Texas, Oklahoma. And then you have another rivalry game for smart people, Stanford, Notre Dame. You can get married on that day if you're loves that. You probably don't really care much about football anyways. I hate this. I hate this for anybody who's in, who is going to be forced to go to a wedding on October 12th because I had a cousin who got married during football season. He's a big Oregon State fan. Guess what he did? Reception, televisions right there, right next to the bar. Two televisions bookend in the bar because he knew he had had the beefs on there. He knew he had family that wanted to watch the Oregon game too, had TVs on either side of the bar. That's how you do it. I remember years ago, my wife and I, we went to a wedding and it was the day that Oregon, I believe was at Ann Arbor. And yeah, that was a rough one. Well, if you are a USC, Tennessee, Oklahoma fan, that's a statue of Liberty game, the Dennis Dixon statue of Liberty. I believe that was it because I couldn't remember it was that one of the three. But I think I remember the blue Michigan jerseys from that game. It's the '07. Yeah, what a game to miss, man. If you are a Tennessee, Oklahoma, USC fan, you're stuck in wedding season, you're going to be going through it because the number one most popular date for weddings this year is Jeff Rust, September 21st, which by the way, I believe is an Oregon by week. It is in fact, by week, but Tennessee will be taking on Oklahoma. USC will be playing Michigan. Utah has Oklahoma State and Clemson takes on North Carolina State and with the textible. Man, that's, hey, happy wife, happy life. When we got married in '02, at least that day, it was still like a non-conference time too. I went back and looked up the schedule and who played that day that we got married. You had Oregon and Portland State, you know, Oregon State, Fresno State. Hey, that was a good game then. What year did you get married? '02. Oh, and that was a great game. Yeah, well, whatever. Anyway, and I think you had like three top 25 match-ups. You had number 10, Florida, number four, Tennessee, number 25, Kansas State, and number 11, USC, and then you had number seven, VOTEC and 19, Texas A&M. Oh, man. Oh, God. What year was this? '02. '02 was the year after the great game. '02, Oregon State beat Fresno, '59, '19. No, I was thinking of VOTEC. Is that Mike? No. No, no, no. He was, no. Mike, Mike Vic. Oh, that's Marcus, isn't it? I don't know. Mike Vic. He was there. He's 44. So, he looked this up. You were left in '90s. 2000. Two years drafted or no one. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So that was, I guess that would have been Marcus then, right? Wasn't he right after him? I don't know. I'm sure the Marcus Vic's time was very forgettable. But I just remember trying to think of what would make VOTEC be the number seven team in the country. They were really good. Beable? Beable, yeah. Special teams. Yeah. Marcus went undrafted in '06. And this is, I think it's even more egregious now, the fall marriages, because back in the day, you could say, well, all right, you know, it's gonna be a noon kick. Neptual start at ceremony starts at four. We're good here. Now we have the two week window. We don't know when most of these games are going to be played. Makes it even harder to make the, make this game plan work. I'm out on this. I don't like this. No good. No. That's why I have a July anniversary. There you go. Nope. I'm not getting married during football. No good, Goose. No. No good. And this texture is right on the Vancouver forward text line. Today's my 10 year anniversary. I just, um, I just, I don't know, man, we picked a date. You were, you were just listening to your wife. Yeah. That's what you do. And this is the thing is you got to understand, you may want to have a fall marriage, sweetheart, but for the boys. Yes. Unless you want to keep the numbers down, keeping the numbers down, ruin your own day. Ours was literally, hey, we need to do this before basketball season, because I just wouldn't be able to do it. We were looking for still kind of nice weather. You couldn't go to a courthouse during basketball season. Oh, I mean, just trying to make that work. Yeah. No, it's a pain. Mm. Yeah. We were just thinking still nice weather, but not too hot. You know, yeah, like April 25th, the perfect day. You guys have a one week gap right between your anniversaries. Yeah. That's nice. That's good. It's a good little, it's a good little window. It's a little window there. All right. You know, all right. Coming up next, a window in a Colorado and what the hell is going on there. But first, it's a bit going on, sports on a big. You ever had a big Kahuna burger? Colorado may not play for clicks, but I tell you what, they keep finding a way to get the clicks piling up. Whether it's a local sports article or, I don't know, Warren Sapp and his post practice availability, there's one way or another for the Colorado buffaloes to just keep stumbling into it. They are making headlines all over the place, and it's different than it was last year. There's just a different feeling around this. Colorado team because last year it was they were going to be a disrupter to college football because of the fact that they were doing things in a completely different way than anybody had before and building their roster, going to the portal. There was so much optimism and a lot of hype around Dion Sanders and his ability to bring in, you know, three guys from eight and an FCS school in Shadur, Shiloh Sanders in Travis Hunter and be able to win in the Pac-12 last year. It went horrifically wrong and went completely sideways, and they tried to build through the portal and brought 36 new players in through the portal, hit backfired on them. And now with all of the reports that are coming out from Athlon Sports and that report that said about the culture of fighting and nepotism, whether it was the Sanders kids or Kevin Mitchell who's on staff, his kid, being protected, guarded and coddled by the coaching staff and not being held accountable, like other kids, forcing offensive line, Savion Washington to fight another player. And then that Athlon Sports article mentioned a problematic relationship with guns in that locker room is what we can call it. Which, look, I am to be blunt, pro-fire on. Pro-gun, you are. I have probably shot more rounds of ammunition than the combined population of some states. But with that said, there is zero reason for college students to be having guns in locker rooms. No, or in your commitment video, in a live stream with the head coach. Don't leave the glock, go full Jon Moran and leave the Blicky on the table. Let's leave the guns for the Republican Christmas cards. It's all very dumb. You just stumble into all of this so regularly with programs and cultures in general that just don't have any control. There's reason why I keep pointing it back to the Gilbert Arena's wizards is because this feels like the Gilbert Arena's wizards. Was there talent on that team? Yeah, but there was also a metric crap ton of stupid. Think about this. Gilbert Arena's Nick Young Andre Blatch, Givaris Critnton. We're all on the same basketball team in the same place at the same time. Yikes. That is the whole, um, hey, talent will find a way. And it didn't. No, because there was a lot of talent. Yeah, a lot of crazy though. Now you go back and you look at that team and you're like, that is so much crazy on one basketball team. Yeah, it really is. But with Colorado now, with all of that, what we just outlined, they have a defensive line coach should everybody knows. Warren Sapp is the D line coach. And we just got done talking about that Athon sports article. All the things that have kind of gone the way in against Colorado. Warren Sapp decided to use this analogy when describing his defensive line. That is so deep. He needed this. I wouldn't say a lot one guy because we're a pack. You know, my five, my five years on a two lane highway. That's nice in here. And then we'll be the last two tackles with Buell and the young fella, we'll be 60, you know, called Shane and the big boy, 90 goose, barns and then we got katosie being there and then working with Buell. And then one more, who am I forgetting? TC and the other kid. Yeah. I mean, we, we just mixing and matching them. We got bullets. You get shot with a 38 or a nine millimeter. You pick it. Oops, you get shot with a 38 or a nine millimeter. You pick him. I love his like, he's so deep. He only knew three of their names, 92 old big boy. Look, the young fella, Dion called up Warren and was like, Hey, you want to catch a check? No, I know. I do think Lauren's sap does want to be there. And he wants to coach. I don't think you're driving the point home when you're going. The big fella and the young fella. Oh, not Johnny Lawrence calling the kids in the Cobra Kai dojo. I'm also, I'm sure there's a lot of, hey, you going on there in the D line, I'm disappointed. He did the interview with a dip in. Oh, he did. Yeah. Yeah, that's a, that's new. Probably school policy. Yeah. I mean, I guess he walked up to the podium with it in. I'm sure Warren's sap has always been a big rule follower. Yeah. Yeah. That's another instance of Colorado's inability to read the room. And this is like, if they do hit tough times, you have to be able to read the room. And last year, they, nobody was able to, whether it was Dion, throwing his offensive coordinator under the bus. When then he fired him and they scored 12 points less per game, I think. After that, in throwing the offensive lineman under the bus, when his son who is a quarterback in is very talented. Schadler is a very talented quarterback, but his son held onto the ball forever last year. Even when there was protection, there were plays that were made by the defense because Schadler holds onto the ball for a very long time. He was rated in, like, I want to say the bottom third and golf football. That, like, but he also was in the top by, I want to say, six accuracy. But it was always throwing the, throwing the offensive line under the bus. Never throwing the defense under the bus. It was the offense. You get 40 plus put on you. What do you want the offense to do? Because you're going to get pretty predictable that point and you're going to see a lot of zone. Yeah. Have fun. Yeah. I mean, it, when things go wrong and they will at some point this year because they always do, it's football. And, like, you're not a very talented roster and you will hit tough times. How do they react? Because when things were high and they were 3-0, boy, that was awesome. Then they lost eight of their final nine games. And they got, and what, the one win was against a quarterbackless Arizona State. And they came in, remember that week four game, they came in dots in stadium. With all the gas. They were running their mouths and Dion even said, like, we don't talk. We respond. Then almost immediately. Or it could social media. I didn't ready to go. After, like, pregame had started. You had Shiloh Sanders at the 50-yard line barking at... Sure. ...coaches and players. And then you lose by 40. Whoops. The wheels came off. Whoops. The wheels came off. So, yeah, I don't know, man. This is... It's tough to read the room. What is, is this the fourth Colorado-related thing we've had before they've even played a single game this season? Where you're just throwing your hands up, like, come on, man. Yeah. And it's like, look. This, if this was by itself, it's nothing. Yeah. But it's just the latest and this isn't a case of all you're just looking for Colorado to do everything they do is under the microscope. Yeah. No. Okay. Also, remember the beef between CBS and Dion? Yeah. Where he didn't respond to a local reporter's question because he's... Because of his national CBS report? He works for an affiliate of CBS. So, Philip Dukes of On3, who apparently has a personal relationship with Dion? He said this. Dion Sanders ain't upset because somebody ranked him second to last in the Big 12. That's something he can control because these rankings don't get you into the playoffs. He ain't mad about that. That's his goal. I'll say this. There was a project between CBS and Sanders that one person did their part and was vulnerable enough to say, "Hey, you know what? I'm going to share this with you." The other faction, without notice or saying anything, after all of his time and effort was put into something, basically said, "No, this ain't going to look good for us right now." That's it. Okay. That's it right there. And then Dion quote tweeted the video that he said this in and said, "Thank you, my brother, for keeping some things unspoken. We love it when they assume LOL. The insanity is better than Sanford and Sonnet Times. Keep up the outstanding reporting and keeping it 100. Relationships in this business or everything." So... What? I don't know. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah. Apparently, like I'm reading a sporting news article, it says CBS and Sanders had a disagreement during a contract negotiation in 2004, which led to the departure of the Hall of Famer from working with the network. 20 years ago. Yeah. But I don't know if that's it. So we don't know what the project was, but that's the reason... So, but I mean, has he not talked to this guy the entire time? I don't know. That's a really good question. Because I don't think that's the case, because he knows who he is. Remember, I respect you. I know you did it, yeah. So he's talked to him before. So what's the material change? I don't know. A project that he was working on in CB... They went different directions and CBS didn't like it, but I have no idea. This... The plot keeps getting weirder and weirder. No, dumber. I mean, it is... Dumber is the word you're looking for. Jeez. So... Something that may not... Well, I'll be honest. We're gonna undo the dump. The plot and trailblazers have a potential broadcast chain coming up here. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Talking about that more, it can be very close up today's show on Danny Dussy, Danny the fan. April 1st of this year on the Jack Ramsey's Patreon. Expect there to be a pretty drastic shift in how the trailblazers games are delivered to you as a fan going into next season. As it stands today, if I were placing bets, I'd lean towards most, if not all, the trailblazers inventory being on a platform outside of root sports and being significantly more readily available to fans. I love that Jack Ramsey source. Who writes for Jack Ramsey's? That would be me. Oh, holy smokes. We got the guy that we could talk to about this right here. In the next probably 45 or so minutes, I would expect there to be pretty drastic news on the Portland Trailblazers broadcasting situation. It has not been entirely resolved yet. That is expected to conclude here in the coming week, maybe days. And when that happens, I will have that story for you as well. All right. Does Brandon and I get traded or the blazers broadcast situation get resolved first? Both need to happen basically by Friday. So I'll say the broadcast deal. Oh, hey. Okay. All right. All right. Well, look, this is good news for blazer fans because it's the little things in a year like this and a time like this in the franchise that'll make fans happy. And last year was a kick in the nuts. Yeah, on October 10th, when the day before the regular season starts, we all find out that they're going to jack up the price if you want to watch. $36 more a month. A team that isn't good at basketball, play basketball. Like that was that was brutal. As brutal fans, it was brutal, the franchise in a year where people were excited to see what scoot Henderson had to offer, but knew that the team wasn't going to be good. A lot of people forked over that money. And then about a weekend went, that was a mistake. Well, the thing was they did not fork over that money. And that was the reality that sports business tutor reported a 49% decrease in viewership. And that was when this all comes out, I'll have all the figures for those that are not aware. I've been tracking this since really February of this year. I have a very, very, very good understanding of what the deal is going to be and what it's going to look like and how available it's going to be to blazer fans. Blazer vision is back. You are going to like it. I promise you, you are not going to be blazer vision. You are going to like it. The Phoenix Suns got a nearly 100% increase in viewership in the fifth biggest market in the country. And they went over the air. Yes. The Utah Jazz did essentially the same and they had their own paper view. Yes, their own streaming model. They did essentially the same. I would expect that if the blazers were to go to that similar model, they would probably have anywhere between 125 and 140% increase because a year over year because of how drastic the loss was last year. I agree. And with what my understanding is of what they're trying to accomplish, the ability to watch games will not be an inhibitor to blazer fans going forward. Okay, so what you're saying is availability of the broadcast and financially the cost of the broadcast, those have been the two big things, right? Because with NVC sports and Comcast sports net prior to a name change, it was not widely available across the state of Oregon or Pacific Northwest. When route happened, it then became financially prohibitive for a lot of people to get the platinum package from Comcast so you could watch any of the games. What you are saying is that availability nor price should be an inhibitor for any blazer fan to watch these games. That is 100% what blazer fans want to hear at this time. I if this goes down as I expected to go down, it will be one of the bigger wins for blazers fans in a long time. Well, I haven't been many lately. No, no, it's been a really long time. The front office on the business side has been very concerned with this for a couple years now. And because of contracts and how things work and the business of sports, they just haven't been able to go down that path. And now I believe that that opportunity is going to be there. Wow. So there you go. Well, that's good news. And we'll find out a little kernel of that news coming up in about an hour or so. Yep. All right. About a half hour now. About a half hour from now. Well, hey, good news for blazer fans. Um, any news is good news for blazer fans at this point because all of it's been badly. There you go. Yeah. I mean, we got excited from a couple of summer late games from Donovan Klinger, which looked really good. And that was, that was like the highest we've been in a while. Didn't the Denny trade? The Denny obvious. Well, okay. Don't say that because half the fan base wanted to crater themselves after that. That's true. Because they just didn't know who Denny Abbier is. Very fair. Later this week, I will have a like 3000 plus word video breakdown of Denny Abbier. You should have been happy about it though. Yeah. Wait, what did you say? How long? That's like 3000 words. All right. That's a lot of words on Denny Abbier. Well, 98% of the blazer fan base has never seen him play basketball. So that is a fact. I went pretty deep. Good. Good. So keep, keep that on the old patreon there. So yeah, you can find that and the blazer broadcast news and everything else on the Jack Ramsey's Patreon. All right. Up next, you got four hours of power from their mouths to your ears. This prom time with that as a good suit. Have a great Wednesday. See you Thursday right here on The Fan. Bye.
