It's Danny Hable. Listen, I was out on Sam Darnow.
By the way, another fun fact, he is going to
be the first quarterback from USC to ever start
a Super Bowl. That is shocking. Justin Grossweiner.
I just felt like they have some dynamicism on
defense, especially. That's a great word, dude.
I think he just made it up, but I think that's
a great. I don't think I made it up, but we can
check on that dynamicism. Danny and Justin starts

friends. Big Bet's Friday. We'll do that last
half of the program. The Big Kahuna. Kelly Gray
is going to join us in about 15 minutes to talk
about the team thus far. They're on a hot streak.
Oregon women's basketball, four in a row. A couple
of big wins over teams that are high in the net
ranking and some ranked teams. And they've got
another one coming in. As number nine, Ohio State,
fresh off a 10 -point win over Washington, will
be at MKA at noon on Sunday. There's another
thing going on on Sunday, but you got plenty
of time to go catch your ducks at MKA looking
for five in a row first It's intern Dom over
there running the controls. I'm Danny. Call me
doc right over here is my tag team partner Justin
gross around calm, baby. J. What a boy. I'm fired
up today. I am fired up Not only number one.
That's awesome There's also Oregon softball and
I'm fired up about it. Obviously we're to get
into it I don't wanna, if someone hasn't heard,
I'll let you do the honors of saying what's happened,
but I'm fired up. Oregon softball started late
because Missouri, pardon me, Penn State and Missouri,
they didn't realize Missouri was playing back
-to -back games just like the Ducks were. So
Missouri started the Clearwater Classic, the
opening series for a lot of teams down there
in Clearwater, Florida, and... They ran along
they went seven or extra innings I think they
went and then so Oregon plays, Missouri and this
was a nothing nothing game until the fifth inning
and Spinning it on the in the circle was Lindsey
grind and she throws a no -hitter first career
no -hitter for Lindsey first in a seven inning
game for the Ducks since February 27th of 2022
against Long Beach State. Ducks win 3 -0 with
a run in the sixth, two in the seventh. Kalen
Jones goes three for three. Iyanna Shaw goes
two for three with a double and a couple of RBIs
and version eight is off and running with a 3
-0 win over Missouri. They're playing right now
top of the second against Clemson back -to -back
games. They're now going to the bottom of the
second organs of the visiting team. They're up
to nothing over number 13 Clemson It's an unbelievable.
It really is an unbelievable start because it's
obviously a first career No -hitter for Lindsey
grind, which is awesome Yeah, but not only that
what I loved about this game Danny was the fact
that they had to add on at the end They gave
their pitcher a little bit of insurance and I
think I was talking to you We were just at lunch
and yeah as this game was going on and I was
telling you that there are some games where you
have Pitcher throwing a no -hitter and you if
you don't give them enough run support if you
keep it really tight There's more pressure on
the game still then there is about just getting
the no -hitter Which at times is kind of irrelevant
obviously, but I think it's cool obviously and
it's a dominant performance by their ace pitcher
obviously Elise Kolsky pushing Lindsey grind
for that number one spot as well, but I think
it's awesome. I think it was awesome that they
added on late. They weren't just going to give
their pitcher that one run lead, put more pressure
on that. And then just honestly, the last inning,
it felt like, OK, like she's going to get this
this win, but she could get the no hitter and
she got it done. And Oregon has already run the
starting pitcher for Clemson in the first inning
with the I think there were they actually scored
their two runs on no hits. They still have no
hits in this game, and they've left three on
base. Well, that's what a good offense does they
take advantage even you don't get hits you get
contacts act fly I think that's one of the runs
and they also had a reach on an error as well
So so we'll watch and we'll keep giving you the
tick tick on this unless you want to head on
over KW VA Of course, we'd like to have you stay
here because we got the big we'll let you know
what's going on. We're paying attention Okay,
we will let you know what's going on. What do
you like throwing things in his office right
now? Don't tell anybody to go anywhere else We
will let you know what's going on in this game
blow by blow and so you can get the best of both
worlds as We will also, right now, give away
some tickets because we've got a pair left, got
one more pair left for Oregon State men's basketball
against Gonzaga, Gil Coliseum. It's a 3 p .m.
tip. And we're also going to give you a parking
pass. We can send these to you electronically
so you don't need to come down and pick up the
tickets. We can just blast them to you. However,
Woody does it over there. He's got the magic
wand. So OSU, Gonzaga, 3 p .m. WCC men's play.
and it'll be 3 p .m. tomorrow at Gill Coliseum.
So, caller number 5 on the Oregon -Manklinix
hotline at 541 -343 -5673. That's 541 -343. Say
it together, kids. 5 -6 -7 -3. Remember to keep
that number as well. Caller number 5 right now,
but keep that number in mind for Big Bets, what
we'll do at the bottom of the hour. Basketball,
and we're going to talk about the Super Bowl.
So, you want a Super Bowl fun fact before we
start diving into all the other things? I love
the Super Bowl fun facts. They're very fun. Okay,
so which... AFC team I'm gonna look away from
your computer screen. No, I already you guys
already know the answer to this We just talked
about this before we got on the air which okay,
which was the first AFC team It's a trick question
by the way the first AFC team to win a Super
Bowl, right? Well, the key is not AFL team, which
is what the first what it was eight or nine No,
there was only there was only four Super Bowls
before Yeah, so I don't know the data and I had
this in my head I wasn't looking at this because
I didn't even know the answer to it until I looked
it back up And I had the year, right? You did
and yeah, there were there were four quote -unquote
Super Bowls before This one. Okay before the
AFC conference and this is the AFL. Yeah the
winner Okay, I know you guys both know who it
is. Go ahead. Well Baltimore court called Sorry,
I got that one out of there Baltimore Colts.
Yeah And it was not before they ran off to Indianapolis
in the middle of the night That's right. And
then well, they got the Ravens back. They got
a team. They did get their team back Alright,
so speaking of this as well now And I just kind
of gave it away a little bit. Who's the oldest
player to ever take the field in a Super Bowl?
Is it not Tom Brady? It is Tom Brady, but before
that, okay, it was Indianapolis Colts kicker
Matt Stover He was 42 years old. Okay. It had
to be a kicker or quarterback. It makes sense
Okay, and and finally the last one what was the
coldest Super Bowl on record because nowadays
And this is one of the rare ones in only the
last few years. They've actually been playing
them outdoors again They they like going to dooms,
right? So what was the coldest Super Bowl on
record? This one still stands you tell me Kansas
City, Minnesota It was 39 degrees in New Orleans
And they played it at Tulane Stadium. Super Bowl
III or IV? It was Super Bowl IV. It was the last
one that were between the AFL and the NFL. So
there you go. We'll have a couple more before
we go today here on the program. Love it. All
right, so Men's Basketball for Oregon heads to
Purdue, taking on the Boilermakers on Saturday,
10 a .m. It'll be an early one tomorrow morning.
Purdue leads the all -time series three games
to two, including a seven -point win in Eugene
last season in the first Big Ten conference game
between the two teams. One of the question marks
is coming out here is that there's a possibility,
according to Almay, that Nate Biddle could be
back, which in this mass unit that now becomes
the Oregon basketball team 2025 -26, it'd be
a welcome addition, but the Ducks, let's just
say, I mean, they're struggling. They're struggling
hard. They're trying to fight through it. But
there comes a certain point in the season where
you hope that the players can keep their head
down and just kind of grind through the rest
of this. And if they can get a couple of players
back because, you know, Devon Pryor is hurt.
Amira is probably gone for there. I think that
he is gone for the rest of the year. Jackson
Shellstad still a question mark. It sounds like
it. Here's the question mark. And you don't know
because the players aren't going to say unless
the player says that the university is not going
to release it is that we don't know if he even
went and had surgery. Was the whole question
if there was if there was surgery involved obviously
probably yes, absolutely 100 % But it's been
kind of quiet on that front which is right a
little odd But well if they're gonna get anybody
back to do anything they have to get middle back
He sounds like the most likely one and he's such
a huge part of their team So if they're gonna
do anything getting a battle back is huge Do
you want to know what the spread is in this game
against Purdue go ahead? Tell me it is nearly
20 points 19 and a half. I mean, it's just crazy.
Yeah I mean, Purdue is a really good team, though.
It's like, good luck. You're going to Purdue.
It's hard anyways. Rather, even if you don't
have two players down. They've had a couple of
gut punches, though, in the middle of the season,
which makes them angry. So they don't want to
lose on their home floor, especially. But tough
place to play. And a storied tradition there
in Purdue basketball. Kwame Avery's juniors is
one of the bright spots for the Ducks, even in
their loss against Iowa on Sunday, the eighty
four sixty six defeat. Kwame led the Ducks with
18 points to Kai Simpkins had 16 Desrick Lindsay
had 10 and that Caps off another great performance
that KJ had in his career high this season when
he had 24 points against UCLA and they're gonna
have to lean on KJ for the rest of the season,
especially if Nate's not coming back So, yep,
let's take our first break when we return one
of our best friends ever It is the Big Kahuna.
Kelly Graves is going to talk to us about Oregon
women's basketball and the big test against Ohio
State at MKA. Can the Ducks match the firepower
of the Buckeyes? We'll return Danny and Justin
the number one sports station in the Valley.
It's Fox Sports Eugene Fox Sports Newport. Congratulations
Brian Moore, a P1 out of Springfield. He is headed
to Gill Coliseum on Saturday to watch Oregon
State men take on Gonzaga in WCC action 3 p .m.
Got a parking pass as well. Thanks for listening
and supporting the number one station for sports
in the valley. And we're pretty good on the coast
as well. Danny and Justin radio program here
for a Friday Big Bets coming up in a moment.
Goose will be in the studio. Intern Dom's going
to make his first picks this week. And we're
also going to flip a coin for other picks. It's
going to be fun and exciting in that last half
hour. But first, let's head on over to the Oregon
Man Clinics Hotline and welcome in our good friend
and the big kahuna, the head coach of the Oregon
women's basketball program coming off four straight
wins and a big one coming up on Sunday. It's
head coach Kelly Graves. Coach, first of all,
now you never did tell me the score when you
went out there with Peyton. Even though you said
you play winter rules in june, how did you play?
You know actually hit him pretty well Uh, you
know, there was a problem though. I had I spent
a couple days on the range Okay, and then we
played 14 holes. We walked them all great And
this is way too early in the season for 14 holes.
So The next day is when I felt it for sure but
you know, I I don't know how you guys are or
your listeners, but You know, when you first
go out and you haven't played for a while, you
usually hit better because you don't have all
those bad habits. You're not trying to swing
too hard and all those things you do by July
and August in a normal year. So, I actually hit
them okay. Anything like that for basketball?
Any correlation? Well, you know, studies have
been done, you know, with different control groups.
Those that just don't shoot free throws, shoot
poorly. Those that practice free throws shoot
obviously much better those that visualize making
free throws They don't actually shoot them visualize
it end up shooting better So yes mentally, you
know, I I make holes in one Doesn't always happen
on the course, but mentally I'm always making
right. I always tell my players I make I've never
missed a free throw Because I always mentally
make it before I shoot it so at worst. I'm 50
% I made it mentally I may have missed it physically
Got a boy. It's the big coon of Kelly Graves
joining us as Oregon on the season 18 and 7 overall
6 and 6 back to even in conference play as they're
awaiting Ohio State who comes into this contest.
Ohio State 21 and 3 overall ranked number 9 in
the country. They're 10 and 2 in conference coming
off a 10 point win against Washington coach.
It's been a nice little run last four games,
but there's as you had texted me. It's kind of
a roller coaster so. Talk about how, and we heard
you in the post game, talk about the teaching
moments that you've had in the game, and a couple
of them with Ahise and with Katie. So, I mean,
that's always happening, right? And I guess you
can't rest on anything, even if you're up 21
points or such, as your team experienced. So,
I mean, how valuable is that to you as a coaching
staff, but also nerve wracking at the same time?
Yeah, well and I was kidding the team after the
game I said, you know look around at our patrons,
you know our fans We have a lot of older ones
there, you know, and I think we're the way we're
playing some of these games I think we might
you know, they They may have some heart attacks
at some point, my goodness. You just, you know,
you play for 40 minutes, you guys, and we've
been way down and come back and we've been way
ahead and lost the lead. You know, I'm glad that
the other night, you know, even though we lost
the 20 point lead, 21 point lead, that's a negative.
But the positive is after we had fallen behind
eight points late in the game. You know, then
down the stretch, we're the ones that made the
play and we came back and won it. So it's one
of those where you're happy we won, but you're
really disappointed in kind of how we got the
win. We just got to keep trying to figure out
how we can, you know, just sustain. You know
a level of excellence or close to it, you know
for 40 minutes and we've yet to do that But there
are times this year when we played some really
good basketball that first half against Illinois
who by the way is a really good team agreed You
know was about as good as we could play the game
And what happened in that third quarter now that
you've had a couple days to look back on it look
at the film I know obviously at the time you
said it was one of the worst third quarters you
guys have ever played But looking back like what
do you have your thoughts? I mean changed at
all I'm sure that you feel kind of the same way
about it, but what have your thoughts kind of
evolved? Yeah, it wasn't any one thing you know
what we wanted to do in that game our goals were
threefold right we want to take care of the ball
because they are really good at forcing turnovers
and they're great in transition. Those two kind
of go hand in hand. So we wanted to take care
of the ball so that they couldn't get easy baskets
in transition. And then we wanted to eliminate
second chance points, right? So block out, do
a good job on the rebounds. At halftime, they
had no fast break points and no second chance
points. We did what we wanted to do. And the
third quarter, we just kind of got away from
it. I thought we came out a little relaxed and,
you know, we have a young team. And when you
have a 21 point lead, that's just human nature,
you know, until you get just grizzled veterans
who know, all right, let's put this game away
in the first five minutes. And so we just, you
know, we didn't have the same intensity in the
second half. They picked up theirs. And yeah,
so we had some turnovers. We had some good looks
that we just missed. And then we, quite frankly,
rushed a few shots. And again, that's human nature.
We wanted to kind of get some rhythm back. I
remember specifically calling a timeout. And
we said, let's get the ball to the third or fourth
side of the floor. Let's let everybody touch
it. Let's reestablish our continuity offensively.
And after two passes, somebody took a quick shot.
And, you know, it just kind of snowballed from
there. But, you know, it was great to see that
how we responded late in the game. And also during
that stretch, fellas, Ihisa Tute, who's, you
know, she was a plus 24 in the game. I mean,
that's incredible. Plus 24 in a game that was
a three -point game. And she got foul trouble
and had to sit out during a stretch, and they
killed us during that stretch. And then Katie
Fiesel had to sit down because she picked up
her third foul. So it's just kind of a combination
of a lot of things. And again, yeah, we just
got to learn from it. I'm glad you brought up
a he's you also said something in the press conference
that I'm not sure if I've ever heard anybody
say before and I again I'm not like the longest
in the tooth or anything like that But you told
her you mentioned the correct conference. You
said to her like hey, no fourth or fourth foul
is more important than a basket And or no basket
is more important than a fourth foul. I got that
one right there. So I again, I've never I don't
think I've ever heard a coach say that before.
And it just you're right. Like her staying on
the court plus 24. It's just like you can see
your impact. But it's so funny to me because
she's not like the tallest player or anything
for her size, but she does so well. She's so
efficient. What makes her so good despite not
being like it physically, I guess, a dominant
player. that tall and, you know, night in and
night out. She's about 5 11 6 ft and she's going
against kids regularly or 65 and 66 like Ohio
State's got a 6 6 center. Um. Yeah, she's incredibly
strong. I mean, she makes a lot of fouls just
because she hits people so hard. I don't even
think she knows how strong she is. A tremendous
athlete can really, you know, um, in line to
end line is our fastest player her and Sophia
Bell. You know, and she's freight train. Once
she gets going, it's hard to stop. But, you know,
and I think she's just, she's got a great instinct
on the offensive boards. I mean, she, I think,
leads the big 10 in rebounding, offensive rebounding.
She's getting over five offensive rebounds per
40 minutes, which is incredible numbers. You
know, she just, yeah, it's got a real nose for
the ball. I think that's how she gets it done.
And quite frankly, she's been our press. pressure
release against full -court presses as well.
She's a good ball handler and so strong with
the ball. So yeah, she's just a sophomore. Katie
Niso, just a sophomore. That's quite a dynamic
duo that's still young and getting better. the
big kahuna coach kelly graves joining us it's
ohio state we want to pack mka ohio state number
nine in the country kelly graves comes in to
this game 686 wins overall 259 here at oregon
and taking on a team in ohio state that's got
everything from top to bottom so coach i want
to start here before we start diving into the
game a little bit is how have the kids practiced
the last couple of days after that win against
illinois Well, we took yesterday off today was
our first practice back and Yeah, it was okay.
Yeah, it was okay. We When we go two days before
games, that's when we kind of go a little bit
heavier Okay, we get up and down a little bit
or get physical Because you know the day before
the game you want to go just a little bit lighter
So that they have a little bit more in the tank
for game day, but yeah, I thought it was good
We start working on concepts for the next day.
So we're going to see a lot of great penetration,
great athletes on the perimeter. Jelani Cambridge
is maybe the quickest player in all of basketball.
She's just incredible. She had a huge game last
night. She's averaging 27. She'll be a first
team All -American. And then they surround her
with other great athletes. What they do is they
just put a ton of pressure on you. They're going
to full court press this the whole night. And
if you're casual at all, you're in trouble. And
what happens, it's not always consistent. If
we can break the pressure, we can get good looks
at the basket. In the half court, they're not
quite as strong defensively. But what they do
is they'll have those two or three minute spurts
that kill teams. You'll be playing with them,
playing with them, playing with them, and then
suddenly you turn it over three times in a row,
they score, and now you're down 10. And then
you kind of fight your way back, this is what
happened with the Huskies, and then bam, they
have one more spurt. So we just, we've got to
play 40 minutes of really focused and locked
in basketball, especially offensively. We cannot
play casually. You know, you'll hear me say that
I think a lot. We can't be casual. Well, Ohio
State's turning over their opponents by an average
of 23 a game and they also share the basketball
They're averaging 18 assists a contest. So coach
would patience be a good word to use in this
game as well Well, I mean always right but now
we want to play at a fast pace. Okay, I think
Once we break their pressure, I think we're gonna
have numbers We might have some two on ones and
three on twos and you know, we're comfortable
playing that way But what they do is they try
to get you in a frantic pace. That part, yes,
we've got to be patient. In that court, we've
got to space the floor. Our kids got to, what
we always say, catch and sweep the ball. Square
up. two handed passes. No one footed one handed
passes that you know, sometimes you you may or
may not get away with. So yeah, it's just one
of those games. We're going to have to really
be fundamentally sound. And if we do, I think
we're going to be in great shape. You know, we're
a little bit bigger than they are. They're quicker
than we are. We're deeper than they are. You
know, they've got a couple of elite scores that
we might not have. So it's going to be, I think,
a really good game. That's why we need our Fans
to come out in in support and I get that it's
Super Bowl Sunday, but you really need to watch
seven hours of no You can make it back. You can
definitely make it back to see the Super Bowl
by the time the game ends absolutely No, no doubt
and just think by going to our game How many
calories? You're gonna go home. You got nothing
else to do. You're listening to these people
which by the way, that's That's a problem. I
have with news and everything now. Just show
me the news CNN and they'll tell you a story
and then you got eight talking heads sitting
around telling you what you just saw I know what
I just saw I don't need to hear it from eight
different people from every point of view now
Of course, we can't offend anybody. So we have
to have every possible point of view I love it.
I love it. There you go. So I'm going to get
off myself. No. Come to our game. Yeah. Save
some calories. You don't have to eat the nachos
and all that other stuff that you're going to.
And then you'll have. Still a couple of hours
to get home and watch the game. Absolutely. Dr.
Graves. Go ahead and check the concessions at
Matthew Knight Arena. I'm sure you're interested.
Speaking of things, I know I hope I didn't sound
angry. No, no, no. We're in agreement here. I
feel strongly about this. So do we. So speaking
of things you want to see, what's the shot right
now? There is one shot that your team's coming
down the court that you want to see your team
take. What would that shot be? Well, for us,
we're one of the best shooting teams in the Big
Ten. Catch and shoot threes. That's where you
know and that's why I'm always telling our guards
you got to get downhill downhill means penetrate
toward the basket draw some defense and Then
and then kick out to an open shooter who just
catch it like they would like a shot They would
get in practice right where you just catch and
shoot your face and hoop you're in rhythm When
we're at our best is when we're creating catch
-and -shoot threes on the perimeter. You saw
us late in that game the other night. We ran
an awesome set. Our kids executed well down the
stretch, you guys, and we just ran a pick -and
-pop play with Mia and Katie Fiso. And as Mia
set the screen, both defenders kind of went with
Katie for a step or two, and she just... Threw
it right back to Mia who hit a critical three,
you know in the last minute of the game So that's
when we're at our best either that or just an
open layup and we usually Create that off, you
know off our defense somehow. So, you know Analytics
will tell you the best shot you can get is a
free throw The second best is an open layup,
and the third best is an open catch and shoot
three. By the right people, of course. Danny,
if you're shooting the three, that's probably
not the best shot you can get. I love it. You
know, those, analytically, those are the three
best shots you can get. Yeah, I'm good right
underneath the basket coach, although I'm gonna
get hacked so I'll I can double pump. That's
fine. Yeah, hey draw a foul. That's right Nobody
garden me when I'm at the charity stripes. So
coach one last question It's about roles and
we talked a lot about this, you know Even in
the preseason and then rolling through is you
know You always have new spices in the spice
rack and and so really good returning players
You have to kind of blend them in is this team
and you are a big person that will You know tell
you know, this is what this is what I need you
to do within this system within this matchup
group So are are the are the team? Concept of
roles really taken to the players now or is there
still some tweaking that needs to be done? There's
always tweaking. Okay, right, but generally that
the roles have evolved enough through the year
by this time We're into February now. Yeah, pretty
much everybody knows what their role is gonna
be our substitutes kind of know when they're
gonna be coming in who they're gonna be coming
in for and what We need them to do But you know,
I always I always tell our kids Execute your
role be a star in your role and don't don't you
don't have to accept your role because roles
change and we've seen it firsthand look at we're
starting four players who last year didn't play
much right you know Katie Fiso was our you know
third or fourth guard last year and now she's
the lead point guard and and our leading score
her role changed and she is starring in that
role so you know if you're supposed to set screens
or get rebounds and doggone it Go set a great
screen and go get some rebounds. Not everybody
can take all the shots. Not everybody can make
all the passes. Everybody can defend and everybody
can, you know, again, star in that role. So,
yeah, those evolve, you know, once in a while
we'll have to say, hey, this is what we need
from you. But I think through early season practices
and stuff that kind of evolves. Great. Coach,

It's fox sports eugene fox sports newport live
from the bigfoot beverages studios. It's doc.
It's maybe jay. It's I'm trying to figure out
no way i'm trying to figure out which order I
should do. You know the intern's name. Yes, it's
dom And your goose I know All right guys, you
know, I can just here here's the coin here's
the sheet Go ahead. I mean mr. Five and over
here. Mr. Five and over here gloating one more
time. What was that? Mr. Five, okay Gave you
props immediately. I know the other day. I heard
that okay, you know when when you you were surprised
those picks I only did because I you guys were
in unison and I didn't want the whole show to
be the same people Yes, so you're welcome by
the way Your your missus resulted in my victories.
I like it top of the fourth nobody out one to
count on and a Shaw and It is a 3 -3 game now
organs tied it up. They gave up a three run home
run in the Second ending bottom of the second
ending to number 13 Clemson and then tacked on
a single run in the Top of the fourth, Ducks
already 1 -0 softball on the season as they defeated
Missouri in the first game of the Clearwater
Classic out there in Florida by a score of, I
think it was 4 -0? Was it 3 -0? It was 3 -0.
So the Ducks already with three runs here, top
of the fourth against number 13 Clemson, and
they're at the bat right now with Ayanna Shaw
at the plate with a 1 -2 count. So we'll keep
watching that for you on the ticker. All right,
boys. So how was your weekend, Goose, by the
way? It was good. I went to a baseball banquet
with my friend Justin, and we had a good time.
And sadly, my friend Danny couldn't make it,
but we had a good time in his absence. But it
was very fun. I got to see a lot of old friends,
George Horton, Josh Wilcox. I know Justin's already
told the story that I am a social butterfly at
events like that. But it was very fun to see
some old faces and familiar faces. And Waz was
looking sharp in his suit and his green tie that
I saw some pictures of. He's one of those guys,
it's the perpetual tan by the way as well. He's
tan 365 days a year. And he gets his hair cut
every morning I think because there's never a
hair out of place and it's the exact same length.
Well, you do a pretty good job on the hair, too
Shaggy after a while, but he looks the same every
day. It's like he's got a personal Sorry, buddy.
I look over at you Justin. It's just like I'm
sorry, dude. I miss there All right goose, um,
you're ready to do this aren't you? Oh, yeah,
okay. Sure. All right. Why not boys? Let's fire

okay? Here we go. You ready? You pick the games
this week. We're also going to do a coin flip
game for each one, okay? So away team is going
to be tails, home team is going to be heads.
I picked them and they're all tomorrow. So if
you don't get the results up on bigger bets.
Well, I mean, the earliest is tomorrow, right?
So you don't have enough on bigger bets yet and
you still have time because nobody has to pick
a game tonight. Okay, there we go. Here we go.
First game, it's all college basketball, all
men's college basketball, right? Correct, correct.
There was a little consternation on a game last
week, whether it was men's or women's. I don't
have the biggest mess -up still. At least the
game I picked existed. We're never going to let
that one go, are we, boys? We are never letting
that one go. All right, here we go. Houston's
the away team, BYU. We had these two teams playing
different squads last week, and so they're back
in the mix this week. And we'll start with Mr.
5 -0. Go ahead. That stinks because I like hearing
what you guys do and doing the first every time
go I like BYU they Got AJ to Bonsa they coming
off a loss Fubble games back. Give me BYU at
home. That place can get rocking baby J I heard
a really bad quote from Samson the head coach
for Houston. Oh, he isn't they have no money.
It's like yeah, they have no money Yeah, but
the vibes are bad. Give me BYU. See I'm staying
with BYU as well, but not for either of those
reasons That's fine. I don't have to state my
reasons. I'm just saying I have another reason.
All right. Intern Dom. I'm a goose on this one.
BYU is one and four in the last five games. I
think they turn it around and get a close win
at home. Well, the coin says BYU as well. By
the way, we're stealing that one from Joey Mack,
the Oregon Sports Network and Duck Insider. So
the coin's going to work. So the coin says BYU
as well. Next game. The battle for Tobacco Road,
North Carolina and Duke. North Carolina's at
home. Duke's on the road. We start with you,
Baby J. Give me the Blue Devils. I'm a Chicago
Bulls fan. Cam Boozers, the son of Carlos Boozer.
So that's my tie there. So give me the Blue Devils.
All right, Dom. Intern Dom is next. What do you
got, buddy? I got the Tar Heels outright. Dom
has North Carolina outright. He's got that with
conviction. All right, Goose. I'm gonna go with
Justin on this one here. I like Duke. I think
they're playing well. North Carolina's a little
down. Give me the Dukes. Well the coin says North
Carolina. I'm gonna go with intern Dom on this
one. I'm going North Carolina. I mean he said
that with such conviction and I trust his basketball
knowledge. You get one shot at this Dom by the
way. I'm just telling you right now. By the way
the Ducks have gone up on Clemson 4 -3 top of
the fourth. Nobody out runners on second and
third at the Clearwater Classic for Oregon. Softball
version number eight. All right. Next game is
Illinois, Michigan State Big Ten battle. And
Tom Izzo has got some issues with his star guard,
Mr. Fears, who is got to picked up a bad technical.
He says he doesn't even know if he's going to
start in this game. And I believe me, I love
Tom Izzo at home. However, I think Brad Underwood
has got the Illini playing some really good basketball
right now. I'm going Illinois in this one. Jeremy
Fears has some Dillon Brooks vibes going right
now to where there's occasionally maybe just
a kick in the crotch or an elbow to the chin
or a stepping on something. This is not WWE or
something like that. It has a little bit of that
going. So anyway, yes, Illinois at Michigan State.
I'm going to take Tom Izzo and his boys at home.
I like Michigan State this year. Not great at
shooting, but I think at home they take down
the lineup. OK, the coin says Michigan State.
If that makes any difference to you, baby J.
It does not make a difference to me because I
did not choose Illinois, my roots against Purdue
and I regret it from here on. And so I'm not
going to make that mistake again. I think that
everybody here should try to go through the Illinois
roster and try to pronounce all the different
names on their roster. Give that an attempt,
but I will be taking the Illini in this game.
You've learned, you've learned your lesson. All
right. Intern Dom, what do you say? Um, I got
Michigan State on this one. I don't think Tom
Izzo loses this game. Alright, so that's baby
J and I the Illinois roots coming through and
everybody else on Sparty, Tennessee and Kentucky
big battle in the SEC and Dom we're gonna start
with you this time I'm gonna go with Tennessee
on this one. I thought Kentucky's been very up
and down this year and when they played good
teams It's all been very close. So I'm gonna
go with Rick Barnes his team here. Okay, baby
J I Am gonna go with Kentucky actually No other
reason than that. Yeah, they burned you the other
week when I picked Arkansas, but I think I'm
just going to stick with Kentucky. Now Rick Barnes
Rick Barnes almost looks like he could play in
like creature feature on Friday nights. Now he's
not looking great, but he's a heck of a basketball
coach. So is Mark Pope, but. I like this upset
on the road. I think Kentucky is kind of feeling
their oats a little bit after that big win against
Cal, and I think there's gonna be a little bit.
They've won another game since then as well,
but not against a very good opponent. I like
Tennessee on the road here. The coin says Kentucky.
So Goose, I will let you have the last pick.
Yeah, well, Kentucky was very good to me last
week while all you guys were picking John Calipari.
I took Kentucky and I will stick with the Wildcats.
I think my pick of them might have... led to
this strong run they're on and I'm gonna fire
continues with the fire the Danny Justin radio
program goose is here intern Dom Steve I got
you on the phone just hang on buddy we'll get
you in just second number five Oregon softball
women's softball now up five three over Clemson
in the top of the fourth they're still at the
bat two out with a runner on first all right
last game is the Super Bowl It's New England,
Seattle. This is going to be our tiebreaker game
as well. So total points and we will start with
you, baby Jane. So. I will be taking the Seahawks.
Total points. I was trying to figure out what
the actual line is here real quick. I thought
it was four and a half. No, I mean for the total
points. Total points? I thought it was at 46.
Let me just grab on it real quick. Or are you
going to talk a little bit more? Well, I like
the Seahawks in this game. It is 45 and a half.
So I'm going to have... I'll take 51. Okay, so
you like who now again Seahawks Seahawks and
51 points Yeah, the coin cannot give me points,
but they also are taking Seattle. So I will I
will let Intern Dom pick the points where the
coin what your what? Here's the coin you can
add the numbers to the point. Oh my god So it
says 20 23 43 points for next week. All right,
Dom. You're next buddy. I like total points in
this game. I like 40 I think it's gonna be a
low -scoring game. How would you like to win?
I like the Seahawks to win. I think the Patriots
cover I actually really like the Patriots to
cover Goose Seahawks win 24 to 10. Give me 34
You love, oh my God. You love boredom is what
you love. Good defense. All right, you know what?
Say here's the thing. I'm gonna pull a goose.
I'm gonna pull a goose. I have to. Go low? No,
I'm taking New England. Everybody else is on
Seattle. I'm taking New England. You were just
telling me. I'm taking. Lunch day. You don't
get how everybody's swinging on to New England.
I'm playing like 4D checkers right now. I'm playing
4D checkers right now, not chess. So this is
where I'm getting into it. I think it's going
to be a higher scoring game than everybody thinks
it is. I'm going 55 points. There we go. So I'm
at the over. Let's head on over to the Oregon
Man Clinic's hotline at 541 -343 -5673. And let's
welcome in our first caller. It is Steve. And
he's a returning caller, I believe. Buddy, how
you doing? I'm good. I think I better change
my name if I keep picking like I have in the
past. No, that's all right. You can go with a
pseudonym if you want. But when you win the prize,
you got to have your real name. How about that?
OK. All right. You ready to go? You bet. All
right. Here we go. Basketball first. Houston,
BYU. Cougars. They're both cougars, I was going
to say. Okay, so you're going BYU? Yeah. Okay,
North Carolina, Duke. Duke. Illinois, Michigan
State. Illinois, my son went there. Where does
he live? Well, he lives in Seattle now, but he
went to Illinois. Oh, he went to Illinois. All
right, so he's an Illini. Yeah. All right, Tennessee,
Kentucky. Kentucky. My grandfather's from there.
Wow, you got a lot of ties in this thing. Got
a family tree going here. Seattle and New England
in the Super Bowl, number 60 in the rematch.
His son lives in Seattle. Who do you think he's
going to take? Come on, please. Steve, come over
to the dark side. I'd like them both to lose.
I want the Rams to win. But I'll take Seattle,
and I'll take 44 for the point. 44 points. All
right, you're just over the coin. All right,
thanks, buddy. Good luck to you. Thanks for listening.
There you go Steve's off the line so that opens

I know I see Bob Barker the coin by the way.
I don't know. I I think we're just gonna do the
coin for fun I don't think we can do the coin
against the fans. That would not be fair. No,
no. This is going to be this is just going to
be our little side hustle, our little fun. So
just anybody out there thinking that the coin
is going to we cannot have an inanimate object
go up against you. Of course, some of some of
the people around here think I'm an inanimate
