The autumn wind is a pirate, blustering in from sea, with a rollicking song he speaks along, swaggering boisterously. His face is weather-beaten. He wears a hooded sash, with a silver half about his head, and a bristling black mustache.

He growls as he storms the country, a villain big and bold. And the trees all shake and quiver and quake as he robs them of their gold. The autumn win is a raider, pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you round and upside down and laugh when he's conquered and won. A glorious. Absolutely spectacular BT, Barry Thompson, the coach. What's happening, brother? Nothing, nothing, nothing.

So good, I can't call it, man. John Vesenda, the dulcet tones of John Vascenda. Oh, man. We got that and plug nickels and plug nickels. I love it. Oh, man. Get it all in, bro. Sometimes you got a drop-in-day, man.

Right, right? Yes. You got to get it in. A couple of things in play. Being a quarterback guy as you are and a Raiders guy, on a scale of 1 to 10, rate that feeling you got when the Raiders announced that we're officially in the Gardner Menshoe era of Raider quarterback playing. Gardner didn't look too good. I want to describe to your listeners what kind of Raider fan I am.

I am a Raider fan. I don't get into the drafts. I don't get into who they picked. I don't care who's coaching. That's my team. And that's the way it goes. And just let you know, if they win a preseason game, I'm going to act a fool because the wins are few and far between.

So I'm going to wave the flag, put on my black and silver. I don't care. I'm a Raider fan. So, yeah, the garden men's too is, you know, you think about budgets and money. And obviously they're trying to do something and set themselves up. And it's like, you know, are you really that smart? Are you really that smart? you better grab it while it's hot.

You know what I'm saying? It's spectacular that when you think of the Raiders, the first thing you think about with quarterback is budget. Budget. How not Raider is that? That is so on Raider-like. Oh. You know, Al would be twisting in his grave a little bit because he's saying,

where's a vertical game, where's a vertical game, get me downfield, get me somebody fast on the edge. and it's changed. And, you know, I'm a Raider fan, so it's weird. I do like the Jack Tatum highlights have been making the rounds of the YouTube lately. People have discovered that he actually pops of people and that type of thing. So that kind of keeps me going. Yeah, but that makes me sad that you have to explain to people Jack Tatum.

Well, you know, I'm not sad about it, but I get your point. I get your point. What really made me sad. What really made me sad was I turned on and watched that Bo Nick's character, Denver, and Coach Payton seems like they got some common sense going. That made me real sad. Yeah, look like the, and think about that. Wow, I'm sorry, Barry, that Gardner Menchew is the worst quarterback in the division.

Yes, he is. Oh, boy. Oh, I mean, not in the mustache contest. In the mustache, he's the best in the conference now. Hey, Barry, I can't remember, I cannot remember a Super Bowl quarterback with a mustache like that. You know, that's a great question. Has there been a Super Bowl quarterback with a mustache? I think about that.

I mean, Joe Namath had the Fu Manchu. Did he have it? No, he didn't have it. He didn't have it when he won. Yeah, I'm trying to think. Who else? you know, Joe, Joe Montana was clean-shaven, Brady was clean-shaven. I can't even think of a beard making it to the Super Bowl.

Maybe in all those pre-draft tests, they ought to, you know, ask a quarterback does he want. Like, you're going to shave or not? Yeah. Like, I'm trying to understand it. Like, yep, I'm looking at the picture. He was clean-shaven. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. Yeah. Wow. One of Bart's star, John Uninitis, 1-1, who we had. We literally just went through all of the starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. Yeah. And one, there weren't many. Yeah.

Wow. I mean, even losing, I don't even think losing quarterbacks have, I can't think of losing quarterbacks had a stab. I mean, Doug had a mustache? Doug who? Williams. He did. I'm not going to Super Bowl, he didn't.

He has a buzzer. Now have to look. I literally have to net fools. Nick Fools had a small mustache going. He did one with the Eagles. Very minor. I don't know if you can. Yeah, I mean, you know, they have all these intelligence tests and stuff like that.

And they were saying in the Denver game that Peyton, Sean Peyton, was so unbelievable about Nick. At one point, he says, empty your backpack. He told him, empty your backpack and put everything on the table. You know, he was trying to find that the kid had advice or something. So maybe I would ask, hey, what do you? What's your opinion on facial hair? So Doug had a mustache, but he didn't have a beard. Nothing on his chin.

Yeah. But he had the thin. Actually, for him, it was thin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where he had a thin mustache. Rothesburger didn't have a mustache. You know who would have done it? Kenny Stabler.

Kenny Stable. No, when he was, remember that era. He just had the hair and the sideburn. Right. He had the hair and the sideburn. yeah that's what's wow you know i'm surprised we keep we keep searching i'm surprised at all the draft gurus haven't brought that up when they're prerafted yeah it said that okay so it showed yeah so during in the viking super bowl he had a beard and a mustache so when they beat when they beat the

vikings stable or did yeah yeah he did and that's kind of befitting that he would be the kind of the one right right right that would be your question rogers didn't have rogers had a mustache he didn't have a beard that's right he's um up that's from time to time did fair gama have no no no no yeah yeah yeah and what about bradshaw bratshall bratsall may have had some scruff yeah and actually in the cowboys what he may have had just in the cowboys what he may have had just in the This is important stuff when it comes to quarterbacks. Well, I mean, but that's the thing, right? You have to go, there is a thing that we miss.

And we were, so as we were discussing, we were trying to figure out how many starting quarterbacks. So the conversation you and I were having. Right. This weekend. Yes. About, and no, Bradshaw during, it was, no, he had shaved the beard and kept the mustache for most of the Super Bowl.

You know what's the best thing about this conversation? Is there some competitive young dude? You know, when you're really competitive person, it doesn't take you much to get you going. There's some competitive dude listening. You know what? I'll be the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl of mustache. Well, I mean, no, he shaved him because Chuck Noel would,

because remember that was the literally thing. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure Frank or Harris. kept his beard during those. But it's the thing, right? And we were talking about Big Ten, Big Ten quarterbacks. Yes. In the NFL. Right.

And we tried to go down. We went down the rabbit hole with, aside from Brady, Breeze, greasy, there was another, Russell Wilson, and then there was somebody else. Yeah, there was one more that we kind of left out. And my comment was how far they were. spread apart, given the hype that Big Ten quarterbacks are, oh, you added CJ Straub. Well, but, I mean, we're talking about in the space that is that there really aren't a lot of Big Ten,

like you asked the question, why would you draft, if you're an NFL franchise, why would you draft a Big Ten quarterback? Because of all the Big Ten quarterbacks drafted, it's literally the four or five that were exceptional. everybody else is kind of like, and of the, there have been 58 Super Bowls. And of those 58, the two quarterbacks, so you're talking about 116 quarterbacks,

starting quarterbacks, even if you count Brady, like Brady all the ones that he was in, that there's only like 19, big 10 starting quarterbacks in Super Bowl history. Yeah. That's not a good number. That's not a good number.

I mean, when you compare to the hype, but the conference gets, I guess it's because of the conference is so good. Like, you know, it makes a little sense that the quarterbacks of these teams would be high profile. But like I said, when you think about their NFL production, it just doesn't kind of measure up to as much as you hear about them when they're in college. Which is okay, but it's just a little point. Right. Sky will play and skill set that's in play. So those are all things that matter, right?

Yeah. And you go through and you do your dance, right? Okay, how does this add up? And are you getting bang for your buck? Yeah. And we're wrong. We got to add one more. We have to add one more because in, in super,

so as we go through the list and, you know, at the same university that Bob Greasy went to, there was another starting quarterback. As a matter of fact, there was a winning starting quarterback. From Michigan. No. No. Where?

No. Super Bowl four. Lynn Dawson. Oh. Len Dawson. Len Dawson went to Purdue along with Greene. He was the predecessor for Bob Greasy. So wait a second.

So Purdue has three, right? They have Dries, Dawson, and Breeze. Yeah. Right? Like, who knew? They have three of the team from Purdue. Well, and then if you want to, yeah, like literally that that's, that's, that's what you're talking about. And because I'm a Raider fan, we're going to add Aiden O'Connell.

No. No, we're not. No, we're not. I, but yeah, but I thought that was why you were asking the question in the first place. Because you saw A.O.C.O.C. And it was like, oh, crap. Another big take. quarterback of your ratings.

Yeah. Right, that the numbers, again, if you remove, first of all, that Brady's number exceeds the rest of the Big Ten conference combined. Combine, yeah. Combine. So Dawson, wow. I mean, that kind of proves our point. You look at Dawson and Breeze and Brady that was a big point. Even the guys have made, they're so spread out, right, which was the other point about this.

That's so not good. It's like we keep asking for numbers, right? And then you realize that the Big Ten conference, and you're talking about being stretched over the course of time, but that's less than 20%. That is a startling number. That is a starting number. And so then I'll ask you,

how does the Big Ten conference change that? Is it, is it, and mind you, if you're taking that number this year, it changes because the USC, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, you're bringing in the West. You know, I add Troy Aikman to the conversation. I believe you can add, there's somebody else. Actually, no, because Plunkett was Stanford. Yeah, that's another, those are other two schools, UCLA and SC. for the profiles that they get, right, that they had back in the dead. Oregon has not had.

Oregon has not. Washington, the best quarterback out of Washington is Warren Moon, and he didn't start in a Super Bowl. Right? Like, I'm not missing somebody from Washington. USC's best quarterback. Pat Hayden, but Hayden, but Hayden, didn't Hayden lose the starting job to Vince Farragama. So Farragamble from Nebraska

gets the nod. But you can't even count him. Tarkington was Georgia, stable was Alabama and the SEC. Stalback was Navy. I don't even know where Ron Jaworski went to college. Youngstown.

Youngstown. Youngtown State. Ken Anderson was another small college. David Woodley was SEC. Seiz. Seisman was Notre Dame. Marino was Augustine College. Division 3. Jim McMahon was BYU.

Tony Easton makes the list for being from Illinois. So he and he's what produced Illinois. Second best quarterback to Jeff George. Yep. That's kind of the argument. Elway and Stanford. Phil Sims was not a... Morehead State.

Morehead State. Doug from Grambling. Boomer from Maryland, if you want to give Maryland, but that was ACC Maryland, not Big Ten, Maryland. It was Montana, Hostella, West Virginia, Kelly, Jim Kelly, again, Mark Rippin from Washington State, Steve Young from BYU, St. Humphreys from Louisiana Tech, Neil O'Donnell for Maryland.

Louisiana Tech, that's Terry Bradshaw, too, right? Uh-huh. Yeah, that's true. Neil O'Donnell, Maryland. again pre-Maryland, Brett Farb, Southern Mississippi. Blood Soe from Washington State. That's two at Washington State now. Uh-huh. Chris Chandler started for the Falcons.

Harrison, where was Chris Chandler from? Steve McNair from Alcorn State. Kurt Warner, not from a factory. Dilfer, not from a factory. Carrie Collins from Penn State, but that was pre... Actually, no, Penn State would count. Carrie Collins would count. because St. State was Big Tenet.

Chandler was Washington. Chandler was Washington. So by new rules, Washington would count. Rich Gannon. Delaware. Delaware. But before Delaware wasn't he somewhere? Brad Johnson.

I think Delaware has too. Delaware has Gannon and Flacco. Yeah. And where's Brad Johnson? Because what's the greatest neck to ever play quarterback in the history? Was he Florida State? Brad Johnson. Yeah, he was Florida State.

Yeah, Seminole. Harrison, where did Jake DeLone go to college? Jake the Lone. Jake the Lone? No, he's an Indian Orleans guy. Tulane? I was thinking the same one? I got Georgia.

George? That can't be right. Jake the loam. Is it Georgia? You got the Google machine. Yeah, Harrison, you did. Jake Dallon. Matt Heselback actually started a Super Bowl for the,

Seattle Super Seattle Seahawk. Best overtime moment ever. We won the toss. Remember that? Was Seattle against Green Bay? Remember that?

What did he say at the thing? He said, we'll take the ball and we're going to win the game or something like that. Yeah, we'll take the ball and win the game. Donovan McNabb, Syracuse. Rothersberger, Peyton, of course, Tennessee, Rex Grossman, Florida. Eli, Rothersberger, Kurt Warner again.

Breeze finally makes the list. Aaron Rogers from Cal Capernick from Nevada Blacko from Delaware. Think about that that a Nevada Delaware Super Bowl happened. That is spectacular. Cam Newton from Auburn.

Matt Ryan. LSU. Why does that not resonate with me? Foles. Jared Gough. Jim McGillard. Coropolo. That gives,

Cal has two because Aaron Rogers went there. Uh-huh. Garapolo. He's Northern Illinois. Uh-huh. Joe Burrow. That gives him two, too,

because Romo is northern Illinois. Well, Romo never made a Super Bowl, bro. No, there we go. Yeah, that point.

Matt Stafford. Jalen Hertz from Oklahoma, and then Mahomes and, Brock Purdy. Louisiana. Louisiana. I knew he thought he was the Southern boy. So Louisiana, in terms of

a state's got what, three or four? Yeah, Matt Ryan was Boston College. I knew that didn't really. Thank you guys. Phil and the other 2366. Thank you. I was trying to figure out why that didn't really resonate. But okay. So yeah, so the quarterbacks

are all over the place and it's the thing. Here's the deal. We're going to send the brick and mortar folks in the car we're going to send you to the Royals pregame. The rest of you jump over on one of the streams, jump over to the app, jump over the YouTube, uh, ex, Facebook, whatever, and hang out with us for the next half hour here on one on one. You're listening to one on one with DP, sponsored by Mary Ellen's Food for the Soul on 937

the ticket and the ticket FM.com. Yeah, we're all the way down the rabbit hole. There's no, there's no, there's no bailing. There's no digging it out. there's no digging it out Barry Thompson I got some before we get rolling you know the songs that you have

the bumps are coming in and out right there jammed I'm going to share this with you because I think it's right up your alley I was in the store the other day and all of a sudden this song hit me and I knew I knew it and I just started bopping to it and I get in the car

I look it up the pretenders middle of the road but Chrissy Hyne and the pretending oh my gosh all my god I'm in the middle of the road well we did I did a show for a buddy of mine in

Charlotte. And he's a rock guy. He's a rock guy. And he wanted to know all the songs, the rock songs that black guys like. And I immediately thought of you. Because, right, so me, you, James Hughes, my buddy Cornell,

we're kind of the brothers who griff, the brothers who listen to rock. And the songs that came up, and he says, ones that come on that you wouldn't think black dudes, like know the words too or like and i started laughing because that came up but that and katrina and the waves came up right right and i was like yeah walking on sunshine is absolutely a bob yeah i mean you know those songs but i'm telling you man i almost

did the carlton right in the middle of store i felt like i had my miami vice Miami Vice colors on and yeah you know yeah that's the vice that you understand that that Pat Benatar hells for children you absolutely like scream it out loud yeah

you know and the Debbie Harry in that era and you go okay yeah so in the 80s 80s and 90s rock black dudes were listening yeah so it was there we figured out that the number one the school with the most

quarterbacks starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl is not the school that you would think and that there are four schools who have never had a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl and it's mind-blowing

because hey Texas has never had a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl now mind you neither is Texas A&M, but that's a discussion for another time. USC has never had a starting quarterback in a Super Bowl.

And let me say something. If it wasn't for Troy Aikman, UCLA wouldn't have had one either. Right, right. In the full space, Clemson, Clemson has never had a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl. And then Oregon, the ducks have never had. a starting quarterback in a Super Bowl. Barry Thompson, what school do you think has the most starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl? Power five school?

Power five. Power five. And there's actually two. They're tied with four. They're tied with four. Different conferences. Cal has two. Cow has four.

Okay, yeah. Right. Cal. has four. Joe Cap, Craig Morton. Oh, I would never, I would have forgotten Morton. Yep, Joe Cap, Craig Morton.

They are tied for first. And I think they're actually first because they're giving Alabama credit for Jalen Hertz. Okay. Because you have Namath, you have Stabler. Uh-huh. And one more.

I know. Who else? He won two MVP's. He won two MVPs. MVP, Barry. Oh, come on. Two MVPs. He won two MVPs.

Come on. Another Raider? No. Barry Thompson. Come on. He actually won one of those against the Raiders. No, that's why I can't remember. That's exactly.

I blocked it out. I blocked it out. Yeah, you daggone right. I blocked it out. Bartstar. Bartstar. The very first two MVP's belong to Alabama and then Notre Dame with three.

We got Montana. Who else has come out of there? Seven. Oh, hi. Yeah, come on. Joe Thysman. Rydman. Hizman.

Come on. Uh-huh. Joe Thesman. Joe Thesman. And then, and then the other one you should get. The other, the other. The other. Is that Paul, Lorne?

No, but he doesn't. No. If you don't get this. You can no, longer claim. No, stop now. If he's another guy to beat the Raiders, I'm telling you how it happens.

I block it out. No, Barry, he is the Raiders. The Raiders first starting quarterback in the Super Bowl. He's number one. Darryl O'Herle O'M? Daryl. Daryl Lamauga. The Mett, Bahamara.

Yes. I didn't know he was a. Darylomonica. Yeah, bro. So you think about it. I thought they found him on the. street. There's a bunch. Here's where I got stumped. I got stumped. Well, okay, so a correction. Troy Aikman going to UCLA is not the reason why UCLA has a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl.

They had one before Troy Akeman. Before Troy. Before Troy. Before Troy. He wore. number 17. Billy Kilmer. Billy Kilmer. That's right. Billy Kilmer was a UCLA Bruin. He was a halfback in UCLA

rather than a quarterback. Went to the pro, go figure that George Island Turner running back and throw a quarterback and still never taught him how to throw. Hey, hey, let me share this, since we're going to Raddowell, let me share a little bit of D.C. stuff with him.

And in D.C., when Sonny Jurgensen, who went to Duke. Yeah. And also Billy Kilmer were there. There was a young guy, Joe Thaisman, that was a startup. And around D.C. at the time, there was a big thing, either you were for Sunny or you were for Billy. So from the outside, it looked like they were against each other, but they were really, really, really good friends. Yeah.

And they, when you asked them privately, he said, we don't care who starts long as it's not that little punk from Thoss. Right. Right. But yeah. Yeah. Well, the other, there's two sides of that, that Thysman was drafted by the Miami Dolphins. He was actually supposed to be Bob Greasy's replacement. Thysman said, I don't want to go to Miami because I'm not going to play.

Like, I'm not going to play. Greasy's their guy. He's not going to retire for another two or three years. he decides he takes the Canadian Football League contract, goes up there, the Redskins trade for him, they have Sonny and Billy Kilmer. Thysman actually is a punt returner.

Yeah, he wanted to get on the field, so he returned. Yeah, he was like, I'll do anything. But while he was in Canada, it was the year that Greasy snapped his Achilles and they had to go with Earl Morrill. now, Thaisman should have been the guy that led them during their perfect season. I didn't know that.

I didn't know that. He was like, and he goes, way to go, Joe. Like you, you could have been, because to think about it, it would have changed history because if he takes over that team, one, you don't know if it goes perfect. But two, if it goes perfect, he's now the new guy for the Miami Dolphins for Don Shula and the new guy. And Shula actually asked for him to come back. So when Washington played Miami in the Super Bowl,

he was like, wait a minute, you're supposed to be my guy. You're supposed to be my guy. We're talking about 50 years ago. Right? Just to think about that, that 1972. Yeah. Right, the perfect season. The Isman's up.

This is amazing. You just go how the universe works. Yeah. But quarterback play in that time that Washington, State has as many starting quarterbacks. And I have to take, you know, they had Florida to list as too. I'm not giving them Cam Newton. I'm not giving, I'm not going to do that.

But Delaware has the same number as Oklahoma and Washington State and Penn State. That's like the numbers you just go, like we get caught up and giving people credit for stuff they haven't done. But quite frankly, we were talking earlier, Jay and I were talking, or actually Austin and I were talking. And Nebraska, as they prepare for their season, people have been talking about Dylan Raola. But I wanted to make a point. And you can speak to this. I want to make a point because what you want for a young quarterback is a 1A receiver.

You need an absolute dog at 1A. And to think of who that would be for Nebraska. And I said, oh, so I made some phone. Well, actually, a coach from back east called me and said Nebraska's got one. Okay. And he goes, I heard you talking about it, but you forget, there's a dog from Arlington, Virginia, who's on the Husker roster. He lists himself from Washington, D.C.

But this cat played at O'Connell before he went to St. Francis. Is that right? He went to St. Francis. And you remember, St. Francis at the time, he was the MVP on a St. Francis team. That was the number four basketball team in the country. And he was one of 11, 11 Division I players on that senior squad from St. Francis with guys like Blake Quorum. Wow. Right?

That St. Francis that year. Blake Corm is another DMV guy too, by the way. Right. That they were all on the same St. Francis team. Yeah. That produced six under our. to all-Americans just the one year. And they said, well, listen, if Nebraska needs a dude, one, he's going to catch 50 plus

balls for him in the fall. But if they need a point guard, they need a wing, a six-four wing who can defend two positions on the floor. Young, young Jamal Banks is their guy. Jamal Banks, who started in O'Connell, transferred to St. Francis to play at St. Francis Prep. Went to Wake Forest, put up the numbers down at Wake Forest, transferred to Nebraska.

And all the coaches back there, we went through, talked to Paul the 6th, and they went, we didn't have an answer for the guy. Like we didn't, DeMathor, we didn't have an answer for the guy. I had 10 catches against us in high school. And I went, well, that's a statement. Because you weren't getting 10 catches against Paul the 6th,

DeMathar, or good counsel. And Jamal Banks did that. Yeah. So I kind of said, well, I feel a little better about the Nebraska Kool-Aid if you're telling me that Jamal Banks is there 1A. So Barry, you can speak to that DC DMV Catholic League level of play. Yeah. And just around here, I mean, in the Big Ten, you guys are going to get a little taste of Justice Ellison.

You met them at the, right? That's just another DMV guy. I mean, low-key, when you put the number of Division I guys that are coming here and pros that eventually come from this area, the only thing that stops it from being a mass is that they're kind of spread out, right? So, like, Quorum is from out in Centerville. They may go, you know, Justice is a Southern Maryland guy, but played, you know, at Flint Hill. But they're here.

They're here. And a lot of times they all know each other through basketball. Well, I mean, that they had from that, just from that roster alone, six Under Armour seniors that year just in 2018. And you just go, wow, if you look at their schedule, they were the number, they were number four in the country and absolutely destroyed Dematha, good counsel, Macomera, Yeah, they beat up some folks.

And, DP, just on that 2018, 2019 year around here, yep, you could circle a lot of guys that were around here at that time, and they kind of came out. I think like most places, sometimes things come in waves. And that 2018, 2019 period, if you look at this area, you're going to see a high level of productivity at the Division I level. Well, they had the defensive end from Alabama. they had Tennessee, they had Maryland, they had Penn State,

they had Florida and Alabama twice on just plus Blake Quorum at running back. Corm was the state MVP, was the league MVP, but the kid from Alabama was the higher rate. They had four, five star and five, four star on the same high school team in the same senior class. And I just said as good as they were in football that Jamal Banks could have helped them in basketball. Yeah. And you know, lo-key, when you talk about the WCAC, DeMatha and good counsel, good counsels had a good run lately. But low-key Gonzaga is pretty consistent about putting out players as well.

Yeah. Yeah, that's your number three team in the conference. Yeah. Loaded. Loaded, bro. to try to explain, all right, Bear, we'll go to one more break. We'll come back. I want to talk to you about the difference between running quarterbacks who can pass

and passing quarterbacks who can do both. But more importantly, what do you cook it? All right, baby. Let's go now. We'll have that. We'll have that. Hey, take a look at that clip I sent you too. You're listening to One-on-One with DP, sponsored by Mary Ellen's Food for the Soul

on 937 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Barry Thompson, man, down the rabbit hole. Before we get to what you're cooking. So here's that St. Francis lineup of Blake Quorum from Michigan. Jamal Banks, of course, who originally went to Wake Forest now in Nebraska. Defensive and Chris Braswell from Alabama. Defensive tackle Dominic Bailey of Tennessee. Safety Jordan Tolls LSU.

Outside linebackers, plural. Osmond Savage and Nikai Hill. Green, offensive tackles at Pitt and Maryland, Jekai Green and Michael Statham, amongst the group. Barry, they scored 634 points in 13 games and only gave up 60. And I bet you remember every point they gave up to. They went to, here's the thing. They went to Gilman, Factory, 44-7. They went to Bingham.

They went to Utah. went to Salt Lake City and went to Bingham, which is where BYU, the factory of BYU, they thumped them 51 to 3. They went to their closest game of the year, Don Bosco. And they beat them 27-0, sadly disappointed. Bro, this is a thing.

It's amazing, right? That they went to Silver Oak and put a 53-0-Burger on them. It's that you, when you talk about the DMV and the quality of play that they left the D.C. Catholic area and said, nah, give me all of the national rank teams. We're just going to put a beating on them. Love it. Love it. What are we, what do you cook at Barry Thompson?

What are you eating? Shrimp Saginaaki. It's a Greek dish. Give it to me. Real easy. About 30 minutes total. You get home, put the stove on 4.50, cut up some onions, cut up. up some garlic. You know what to do. A little oil in the pan, a little salt and pepper. A little

strange ingredient, about a teaspoon of cinnamon. You take what's called pasada or just tomato puree. You pour that in. You have your chickpeas. If you buy them in the can, just drain them and get all that other stuff off. Put them in, warm those up. A little bit of parsley in there. And then just warm it up. And then once it's kind of all warm, take it off the stove. Put your shrimp on the top and then take about, I don't know, about four ounces. of feta cheese and just kind of break it up and throw a little bit of parsley in there, shove it in the oven for about six or seven minutes, and that you have some shrimp Saginaaki.

It is delicious. It is delicious. Yeah, I'm showing Harris in the picture so he can see. Yeah. Hey, real quick about the running quarterbacks. I just looked something up. We talked about the guys with mustaches and what school they came for. I looked up the top 12 running quarterbacks of the top 12, eight of them have Super Bowl.

appearances. So there you go. A change in the in the philosophy. Right? Because the old thing was running quarterbacks would never win a Super Bowl. Well, here's what significant about them is the lowest average I think is Lways, which is 4.4 rush. The highest is six points, six yards of rush is Vic. But we were just talking about this with the quarterbacks. When is five yards ever a bad thing? There's only a couple down in distance situations where five yards, is a bad thing. Fourth and six. You have some third and six situations, right? I say some because you could be, you know, fourth and third and six and get five, then it puts you up to 20. You got one yard to go. But there's a lot of situations where five yards helps you move the chains. And that's what you see with

those quarterbacks. Eight of the 12, top 12, I'll have it. And surprisingly, Josh Allen has more touchdowns than Omar Jackson. Yep, it is a thing in play that the change in philosophy, the change of the athlete, and most importantly, change of the access. I can't get over the nonsense that running quarterback can't win in the NFL. It is a silly thing. Barry Thompson, thank you, kind, sir.

All right. What you do? Greatly appreciate it. We'll throw it to the break. When we'll come back, it'll be DeMorne Piercienelle, the Don't Pond hour. Coming up here on 93-7, the ticket. Peace out.
