The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Hour 1: Life Is Worth Living

Episode Date: October 14, 2024

We kick things off with Lucy's trip to Oregon vs. Ohio State which was one of the best experiences of her work life and one of the best games of an incredible College Football weekend. Greg and Stu discuss the game that Greg claims to have watched every snap of, but Chris is stuck on the way Greg pronounces Oregon. Then, Caleb Williams showed up and showed out in London, and Stugotz believe he may be inching ahead of Jayden Daniels in the rookie QB rankings. Also, what does the Caleb Williams experience tell the crew about Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins? Plus, it's time for Stugotz's Weekend Observations. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hi, Dan and listeners of the show. You're probably wondering why does Lucy look so extra beautiful and extra radiant and extra like a supermodel today. It's because Oregon is awesome. Like this place is so cool. Everybody's so nice. It's so beautiful. The people are so friendly.

The colors are cool. The mascot is awesome. It doesn't look anything like a big 10 campus, but it's so big 10. It rocks. And even the Ohio State fans have been nice. I fricking love it. Skoducks. Go, go, go, we're gonna win!

Up you go! Woo! Oh my God! Okay, we're all family. We're all family, cousins. Cousins, okay. So there's no way that you could just end that after the game though.

It's not, you can't divorce. You like each other? We'll see after the game. Cousins. Okay. So there's no way that you could just end that after the game though. It's not, you can't divorce. Do you like each other? We'll see after the game. Oh my god. Oh, Daisy. Hey. It's oh, it's oh either way. It's oh either way.

She's gonna be hot in that thing. One of the most special parts of Orden Game Day is this big giant inflatable dock. Second, it's the River Walk where all the fans walk across this like river over here to get from campus to the stadium. It's like a 30 minute walk. That's why everybody looks so fit here. How has your experience been here at Oregon? I grew up here. I moved to Ohio 40 years ago and my grandmother is spinning in her grave so hard. I bet there's a grass fire up on Bailey Hill. His grandmother was one of the founders of Eugene, Oregon. Yep. Yeah.

What? And he's from Ohio State, right? We're the Bailey family. How old are you? What has your experience been with Ohio State fans so far? They're nice, but they're smug. He's not very bright. We're sleeping with the enemy.

I was at the grocery store this morning and a man came up to me and said, you don't stand a chance. And I said, I'm just trying to buy my eggs. Thank you. They've been infiltrating the campus. Guys what are you doing here you're from Ohio. Hey we can all get along right come on. Let's just pretend for a second disgusting enough that I'm an Ohio State fan. How would you what would you say to me?

Go Ducks! Go Ducks! For college football fans no we cannot. F**k Ohio! We going in today! They going home! Let's go Ducks! Let's go Ducks! Let's go Ducks! Are you familiar with the fit check? Oh, my fit's on fire. Ohio State, Ohio State, Ohio State.

Alright, so about 12 years ago I was given this rubber ducky. My mom gave me a hard hat and I was like, I glued it here. But now I got about 7 inch lags in here. How do you feel about Ohio State trying to trademark the word the? It's kind of arrogant. Dumbest thing I've ever heard coming from a state like Ohio. We are the Ohio State University.

We are the University of Oregon, so that wouldn't really make sense, would it? Do you know what a buckeye is? A bee? Sorry excuse for a mascot in college football. I assume it's one of these things on his neck. Poisonous nut. Are you serious? Yeah. Dogs eat nuts, no way. Sometimes feel like a nut. What's that nuts? He's nuts.

How are you guys liking the Big Ten so far? We're loving the Big Ten. We're eating it up. This is one of the biggest games that we've ever seen here, so it's really cool to see thousands of people on our campus. Welcome to the real deal, that Pac-Ten. Come on, man. There's a rumor that people in Ohio eat pets and dogs and cats. Today, all we eat is duck. That has been in his notes app for three weeks. You guys have a favorite Big Ten team. We are looking for a specific answer here. Wisconsin, because we always beat them in the Rose Bowl.

That's a really good answer. What's your least favorite thing about the Big Ten so far? I'd say Ohio State and Michigan. Did Michigan cheat last year? Yes! Yes! Oh my God, yes. That's it. Did I just say Michigan? Yes! Oh my god yes! Did I just say Michigan?

No I can't say that. Michigan. Absolutely. I don't know why they haven't been stripped yet of their championship. If you were to lose to the team up north this year, which I don't think you were, listen, listen, let me finish, don't be disrespectful. If you lose to that team this year, do you think your head coach should be fired? He's gone.

We're trying to recruit Connor Stallions. Stallions, if you're hearing this, you're a cheater. But they'd like to work with you. Anything else you guys want to say to the Dan Levatard show? Shout out my dad. I know you love watching the show, so this is very, very awesome to be on the show. So thank you.

Hey, Dan, I like you a lot. So I'm a'm big fan so thank you. I love my Dan Levitard and this is amazing for me. I feel like I've arrived at Autzen. Dan hey anytime you want to come to Oregon I'm gonna take you out we're gonna go track down pizza and we're gonna have a good time doing it. I love you too Dan let's talk about a race. Dan, everybody, I have told you every day since I've worked there that college football is the best sport in the goddamn world and maybe my favorite weekend. We've had so far college football This is dizzying

Trying to get used to all the conference changes. I can't get used to Oregon being in the Big Ten. It's Oregon Whatever, I can't get used to SMU being in the ACC, right? Everything is turned upside down, but I will say this i watch every minute of that oregon ohio state games breaking one of the greatest college football games uh... this isn't recency bias it was a great game what they're like eight lead changes yes it was crazy and it even if you want to find a college football you're watching that going all my god i, oh my God, I can't not watch this.

It was such a good game. I'm with you, Greg, but I was watching this while I was watching LSU Ole Miss and Tennessee, Florida, and Iowa State, West Virginia. That was my Saturday night quad box. They all ended up being really good games, and two of those games went into overtime. Florida and Tennessee and LSU Ole Miss.

It was such a great Saturday college football day. But I'm with you. Oregon, Ohio State definitely lived up to the billing. I thought both teams were really, really good and I would not be surprised if we saw a rematch later this year. But I felt awful for Will Howard on that last drive, running down the middle of the field,

running out of time and the game ending and him just looking up at the clock like, oh crap. That's on coaching, no? Like that just there just wasn't enough time there. Right. That didn't seem like that was I didn't put that on Will Howard. Like no, I don't I don't think he should get crushed for it. It was just an awful like that's just an awful feeling. I think if you're him, I think the OPI call is what totally killed them in that drive

because they were so out of field goal range. There's no way they could have kicked it without him getting something a little bit closer, and then they just didn't have the time for it. And of course, there was the 12-minute on the field penalty, which took some time off the clock, too. So, bad management. Lincoln Riley also, I think, should be getting hammered

for his clock management today, because the end of that Penn State USC game. Well, same with James Franklin, too. Okay, go. There's a timeout he didn't call, which would have given his team like 30-some odd seconds to kick a field goal in regulation to win the game. I mean.

And the flip side of that, Lincoln Riley gets like two plays off in like a minute and a half. Like, it was just crazy. And then he said after the game, he didn't want to give them time to have another drive to win it in regulation. So it was just like a And then he said after the game, he didn't want to give them time to have another drive to win it in regulation. So it was just like a whole day of weird clock management.

Now I'm not accusing Lucy of this. I'm asking the question. I'm doing the Dan move. I'm not telling you how to think. I'm just asking you if you'd like to. Does she call every place her favorite? Or has she only done that a couple of times? She's done it a handful of times.

I think she's only not liked maybe like one place. Miami. Well, I was gonna say, well, one college football place. But she's on a two game winning streak now, right? Yeah, she is, finally. She is, yeah. No, no. South Carolina lost last week.

Two out of three? Two out of three, but just- Two out of three ain't bad. Good correction, yeah. She was cursed for most of the season and then Alabama won, but then they lost to Vanderbilt the next week. So I think that the curse still applies in that case.

Ryan Day should be in trouble, right? He has the best winning percentage of all active college football coaches, and yet he's constantly on the hot seat. It can't be good for him when all you hear about his team, it's the best roster money can buy. That's just not a a good like you got to win when you have that saying about your team I think this season is still a little young. I got you can't be panicking after this game It was a really good game

both teams had chances to win it if if this had been like an Oregon blowout over Ohio State and Ohio State had some glaring issues, then yeah, I think he looks like he's in trouble. But I don't know, they both have tough schedules going forward. Ohio State, he has to beat Michigan this year, right? Well, he has Penn State before that. At Penn State. But the thing that fans at Ohio State are the most upset about, one of the things is his record against Michigan has been so bad but this year Michigan has no quarterback essentially they've already lost a couple games in the big ten like you have to beat them this year

the other way Why do you make fun of me when I say? Oregon I used to say Oregon as well. Yeah, what's wrong with that? It's not really how people say it Who are you sure Oregon? I think it's a tomato tomato situation is it I think it's like a Oregonian thing They get mad when you one just makes when you say it that way it makes me make a face Like every time you say it I go so I gotta say Oregon That's correct. Yes with a heavy emphasis on the OR. Mm-hmm, Oregon. No, it's the good Oregon Oregon Oregon. No, it's the good.

Oregon. Oregon. Seriously. That's the way we grew up saying it. Oregon. That's the way I grew up saying it. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying that every time I used to say Oregon, Dan would make the same face that Christopher

made when you said Oregon. It's so weird. How many times are you going to call me Christopher today? I don't know. I don't know why I'm calling you Christopher either. Keep it up. Your dad does it. I like it.

Damn right. What's wrong with it? You don't like it? It's one of those things that only my parents call me Christopher. I know. I feel like a parent though. And it's funny because when I first was with this show, on air, Dan called me Christopher. Right. And I think I had to like a month in,

just be like, oh yeah, Chris. Right. I prefer Chris, yeah. So you're doing it on air rather than pulling me aside and saying, hey, stop calling me Christopher. You've never done it before. It's weird. It's weird. Yes. A couple times today and I'm just yeah, it's just funny. Yeah. So what if I call you Chris? Weird, right? Yeah,

weird. Yeah. That's not I could safely say for the second consecutive week that Caleb Williams is playing better than Jaden Daniels. Couldn't say it the first few weeks. You can say it now. The Bears have a quarterback. They have wide receivers. They have a good team. I predicted them to go to the Super Bowl. But Caleb Williams appears to be better

than Jaden Daniels. Well, he does. Did you think Jaden Daniels had a bad game yesterday? No, I thought Jaden Daniels had a good game yesterday. He was fine. It's impossible. They're both just very good. Why do we have to put them against each other? They're both very good. Because we're going to put them against each other for the remainder of time. I mean, that's...

But they're both good. Is it like we did with Two and Herbert? Maybe they just both aren't good and these two both are good. No, I'm just saying with Caleb Williams, for the first three weeks, if you're a Bears fan, you were thinking to yourself, oh, we took the wrong guy. And I'm not certain Bears fans are saying that anymore because the last two weeks he's been really, really good. That's all. Don't people like... You got to have a little more patience, no? And I'm not certain Bears fans are saying that anymore because the last two weeks he's been really, really good.

That's all. Don't people like, you gotta have a little more patience. No, were people, were Bears fans really doing that after four games? I feel like slow down. I don't think so, Chris. Slow down. And yeah, I feel like-

There was a lot of like, ah, same old Bears, but I don't think they were ready to like close the book on Caleb Williams. No, I think you guys are wrong. I think when a quarterback goes number two and that guy comes out of the gates and he's as good as Jaden Daniels has been, you're a Bears fan.

You might think to yourself, hey, Caleb's still gonna be good, but we didn't take the guy, the guy. We had a chance to take him and we took the wrong guy. I hear you, but my entire family in Chicago are Bears fans and I watched the whole Bears Rams game with them and they were as hard on the Bears as anyone, and I wasn't like, not the whole,

people weren't blaming Caleb Williams for that. They were like, man, the Bears organization stinks, and we hate our owners. They were saying the reason Caleb was bad was because of the organization? No, they were just like, oh, he's young and he'll get better. They weren't freaking out about Caleb Williams, that's all I'm trying to say.

They were not freaking out about Caleb Williams. That's all I'm trying to say. They were not freaking out about Caleb Williams. And I think that the next, you know, three games, the Bears play, the commanders, the Cardinals and the Patriots, he'll probably continue to look good. And then their schedule gets tough again and he might struggle again. But this is like the ups and downs of a rookie quarterback. I just put this all through the two of prism and I see two quarterbacks that can just do it all. Like you need a quarterback. I just put this all through the two of prism, and I see two quarterbacks that can just do it all.

You need a quarterback. Caleb Williams was great with his legs yesterday at times. I know he had four passing touchdowns, but he still made plays with his legs. I think he's the first guy in London to have 50-plus rushing yards and four touchdowns in a game. And it's just, as a quarterback.

And it's just, I just see two, I know we're talking about Caleb Williams right now but I just do through the prism of these guys this is the quarterback you want you want a guy that can make it make it plays out of the pocket and it's just I just see Tua as this guy that needs everything to be perfect in the pocket and it's just like we are so far away that's what I learned watching the Bears how far away the Dolphins are by the way quick Tua update from today Mike McDaniel said Tua will not be playing this week but they do expect him to play at some point this season. So anyone who was questioning

whether or not there was a plan for him to retire it seems as though they are planning on him playing at some point this season moving forward. Right. Yeah he couldn't play at Indy that's the fourth game of his being on IR so he was man mandated to be out he could play the following week the home game against Arizona but whether he will or not that it almost makes it sound like he won't base you know it's pretty depressing to hear McDaniel at this point in the season go he'll be back at some point this season it makes you think he might be out a few more weeks but to Christopher's point,

if you have a young quarterback, it's so much better if he's a dual threat. And Brock Purdy, by the way, who you don't think of as a running quarterback, Brock Purdy has made a lot of nice first down runs. He can move enough. Yeah, he can move enough. It's kind of like Duncan Robinson,

whenever he makes a play at the basket, you're always surprised. You're like, oh, Brock Pur Hardy can get out of the pocket. He can scoot. He can actually move. Yeah, but it really, you watch that and you go, wow, that's what we're missing from Tua. He's a young quarterback. He just doesn't do that.

He doesn't give your offense that extra element. But he showed signs when he was playing. He showed like the ability to kind of move around and create more time for himself. Yeah, man. He did. He's more time for himself. Yeah, he did. Chris, better than he was in the past. No? Not for me. Really?

For me, he's so inaccurate out of the pocket. It's just, yeah, I'm down on tour right now. People are going to start judging whether or not he should come back or not. Oh, he'll come back. I worry, though, that the next concussion ends his career. That's what I worry about with him He'll come back and he'll be fine. The fifth one not but the sixth one you're like, that's what it that's the line Look, there's a there's a line in everything right?

There's there's a line you don't cross in everything and with two I feel like it's the next concussion ends his career I just write a column about ripping people for making him retire for the last one? But the next one he should retire. That's the line. He's saying he's just worried about the next one. We should all be worried about the next one. You wrote the column of let him make the decision. Everyone stop making him retire and you just said but the next one he should retire. Like you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. No, I didn't say that. I did not say the next one he should retire i'm worried that the next concussion

will lead to his retiring against his will the nfl has a part of our distinction you making no it isn't i'm not saying after the next concussion he needs to retire if you open your ears and listen what i'm saying is i fear that the next concussion will lead to the end of his career. I hope I'm wrong. I hope it isn't so. But people are saying that about this

concussion. Okay. You're saying that you're saying hey you stop people don't be talking about a man's career. Well the last thing I don't want is the Las Vegas Raiders coach, a sitting coach of another team meddling in another team's affairs. Yeah. Okay. What Greg? I don't want Mike McDaniel saying, oh, they should start Aiden over Minshew. That's not another team's business.

Mind your own business, Vegas. You know, how about win a game instead of worrying about what another team's doing with their quarterback. What Greg is saying, so people are saying Tua should decide to retire, Tua should retire. I think Greg's point is after the next one, he doesn't think that decision is gonna be up to Tua. It's gonna be made for him and he doesn't think that's right.

I think my dad's pivoting because I called him out and he found a way to make it make more sense. I don't think you're being nice to your dad. I think when he originally said it, he said I think he should retire after his next concussion. Okay, roll the tape. And then when I called you out on your article You're like no no no I'm saying that the league will make a roll the tape on what I originally said I dare you Wow Wow Wow double dare cuz then he's got to do it I'm a triple dog there you double dare him he has to do

Let's it's a Monday so you guys just call this one of the greatest days of his life potentially So you know, right. A triple dare. Whoa, hold up, whoa. Wow, what's that? Oh, what is that? A triple dare, oh wow. Guys, it's a Monday, so you guys just call this one of the greatest days of his life potentially. Yes. We're always excited because we're honoring the legacy of Christopher Columbus by playing hockey at one o'clock. I am not.

Let's all just reel it in a little bit. We're getting a little crazy here, just jumping to the triple dares, okay? Right. Let's all. Everyone calm down. Same team, exactly right. Yes, he ignored my double dares. Right, well, you went let's all. Everyone calmed down. Same team, exactly right. Let's all just, come on.

He ignored my double dares. Right. Yeah. He went straight to triple. He had to raise the stakes. Got it. Yeah. I got a winning hand, I raised the stakes.

But Oregon's not going to know what to do. Purdue, they're giant killers. They are. Maybe not this year though. I know. Telling you why that game was close because I had Illinois minus 23. So did I. I think the world did. You're on fire buddy. Chris Cody is on a heater right now. In the NFL. Oh my god. College football coaches, bad clock management, a tale as old as time. Literally. Is it? management a tale as old as time literally is it have we consider this maybe Vanderbilt is just good dandy just good when the Cardinals aren't playing the I'm stronger than you. Why are we showing commercials for what game Tom Brady will

be broadcasting? He's a bust. Who cares? Do you not hear the update on Harbaugh? What happened? Why he missed part of the game? No. Let's leave it.

Let's leave it your way. What happened? He just wanted to change his pants. He nailed it. Paul Pierce is stronger than him. He had some heart flutters. Yeah. Oh, he did.

Arrhythmia. His heart? Is he OK? That was the most shocking thing about all that, that he would leave the field if his heart flutters. Yeah. Oh, he did. Arrhythmia. Is he okay? That was the most shocking thing about all that, that he would leave the field if his heart fluttered. I pictured of all the coaches, like I'm staying. Yeah.

I'll go out right here. My heart's fine. He had a procedure on it a few years ago. He has a history, yeah. Really? But still. Should I take that back? It seemed like he seemed, of all the,

if you said to me name a coach that will just play through a heart flutter. Yeah, Tomlin. I'd say it's Jim Hartlin. Yeahlan Yeah, Tomlin out, but he changes pants Why your heart flutters do you change your pants thing come what am I missing here? Where's this heart located? Shouldn't be laughing Paul Pierce had a heart flutter to The truth. Total lot.

Back to Brady. Why? He's not good. He's getting better. Sorry, Jim. You know what the T in Detroit Tigers stands for? Not Team of Destiny. LSU. The rare game where you don't lead for a second and still somehow win the game. Death Valley at night.

Goosebumps. Lane Kiffin. If you thought you were waltzing into Death Valley on a Saturday night and walking out alive, you thought wrong. Alabama fans saying it's embarrassing that LSU fans rushed the field. Alabama fans, you know what's embarrassing? Losing to Vanderbilts. Jason Taylor's son is LSU star tight end. Holy **** We're all I mean you're old but I mean that really made me feel

Dylan Gabriel really seems to have really figured it out in its seventh season of college football. I mean seriously sometimes all it takes is just a change of scenery or two. How long has that guy been playing? A long time. I think I just said it seven years. Florida has two offensive line coaches. You know what they say Greg? What's that? If you have two offensive line coaches you don't have one. You got that right. Thank you. James Franklin on a big stage. Lincoln Riley against a top five team. Unstoppable force, meat, immovable object, death, taxes,

and Penn State having a good tight end. James Franklin did everything he could to lose that game. Franklin did everything he could to lose that game. Lincoln Riley just wanted to lose it more.
