1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: I know you hate defending Notre Dame, but I'm pleasantly 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: surprised to see you agree with me. 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 2: They got hosed. 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: So if you would have told me two weeks ago. 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 3: That Miami was ahead of Notre Dame, Okay, we can. 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: Have that debate, we can have that argument. 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 3: I'll listen to that. But what changed over a week 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 3: that warranted Miami to leapfrog Notre Dame. Neither one of 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 3: them played, they were both off. If the argument is that's, well, 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 3: Miami beat Duke five loss Duke, and Duke won the 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 3: conference championship game, and that looks like a good win. Okay, 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 3: I guess, But what changed really over a week because 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 3: you had Notre Dame above Miami they were both off, 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,319 Speaker 3: and then the next week being Bada boom, you got 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 3: the old back door screw job. 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: Well, the Alabama thing is just as laughable because Notre 17 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: Dame was ahead of Alabama. Then Alabama beat a bad 18 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: Auburn team with a losing record right in the Iron Bowl, 19 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: barely beats with a losing record in the Iron Bowl, 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: and some of that moves them ahead of Notre Dame, 21 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: and then they get smoked in that conference Championshigame. It's 22 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: not like, oh man, they played Georgia down to the wire, 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: went down to a field, you know, like the Ohio 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: State Indiana game. No problem, those teams being one and two, 25 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: it's a pick them there. They are the number one 26 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: and two teams. But they got totally embarrassed, right and 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, so we all know what happened. The ACC 28 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: said we're not going to get iced out of this thing. 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: You're not gonna let duke in. So they went to 30 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: those other athletic directors, which, by the way, is hilarious 31 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: because it's a couple of years ago they were begging 32 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: Notre Dame to play an ACC schedule, which they started 33 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: doing to save them during COVID, and then they lobbied 34 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: against Notre Dame, who has saved them on numerous occasions. 35 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: And everybody that is anti Notre Dame is like, well, 36 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: join a conference, Join a conference. Tell me you've never 37 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 3: ran a business before, Because if I'm Notre Dame and 38 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: I've got all of this NBC money coming to myself 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: fifty million a year, why do I want to do 40 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: revenue sharing with anybody? Why join just say the Big 41 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: ten and have to give Rutgers a cut of what 42 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: you do. Why join the ACC and football and give 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 3: NC State a cut of what you do? 44 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: No, you the brand? Yeah and the other thing. Like 45 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: I said again, and get I'm a Notre Dame homer. 46 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: I get it. If Notre Dame had been on the 47 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: outside of this along, if they just said, hey, look, 48 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: Notre Dame's got a really impressive record post the first 49 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: two games, Miami won the head to head, We're putting 50 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: Miami in. Now, I'd still be upset about the Alabama, 51 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: but at least you'd feel a little better about him 52 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: because then you say, well, those conference games don't count. Okay, 53 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: Then say all out, the conference championships don't count. Tell 54 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: that to your sponsors. When do you want people to 55 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: watch the thing? See, they keep trying to have it 56 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: both ways, and that's what pisses a lot of people 57 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: off and say there's no rhyme or reason other than 58 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: the ACC went in there and told those athletic directors, hey, 59 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: we're supposed to be in this together. You can't is 60 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: us out of this thing all together? You better bounce 61 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: Notre Dame out. Who's not in a conference? 62 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: And look, I'm full disclosure. I'm a neutral party here. 63 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 3: I'm a Tennessee Valls guy. Yeah, my team was never 64 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: in it, you know, really after the old Oklahoma game 65 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: this year. So I feel like I'm a pretty fair 66 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 3: judge of what's going on here. And I just don't 67 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: see how in one week where they didn't play Miami 68 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 3: leapfrog Notre Dame and Rob to your point, and I 69 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: agree with you. Had Miami been above Notre Dame before then, okay, fine, 70 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: but the eleapfrog them then by week, And anybody that's 71 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 3: watched Alabama over the last three to four weeks knows 72 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: they're not playing their best football. Oklahoma beat them, they 73 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 3: struggled against a bad Auburn team. Georgia in a revenge game, 74 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: beat the breaks off those dudes. Like I thought you 75 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: wanted teams playing the best. And Las Vegas odds makers 76 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: had Notre Dame and like four or five in terms 77 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: of the odds of winning the national championships still as 78 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: of last week. So that tells you odds bakers in 79 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 3: Las Vegas clearly think Notre Dame is one of the 80 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: teams that deserves to be there. 81 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, And the fact that you've got these two goober 82 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: schools in there, Tulane and James Madison. Who wants to 83 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: watch the was it ole? Miss Tulane? Who's watching that game? 84 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? And if you want to put one of them in, 85 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: if you're telling me, all right, one Nonpower Conference one Cinderella, 86 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: all right, fine, somebody's gonna get their doors blown off 87 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 3: by Oregon. Knock yourself off. Uh, but two come on now, because. 88 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: Think about what the ratings would have been. Let's just 89 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: say they had Notre Dame at twelve or eleven, the 90 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: Notre Dame Oregon game or the Notre Dame Oh Miss game, right, 91 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: the ratings would if you're a sponsor, because look, we're 92 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: in this business. Yeah, we know. At the end of 93 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: the day, we're here to entertain, we're here to educate. 94 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, we're here to make money. 95 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: We're here to sell stuff, which is why people pay 96 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: money to be on this radio station to sell stuff. 97 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: If you're a sponsor and you're going, I'm paying for 98 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: Oregon two is it Oregon two Lane or I don't 99 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: even know which game it is now, it's so it's 100 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: so uninteresting. But I'm paying for James Madison like I 101 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: would be outraged over this. Look at some of the 102 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: teams that are out. 103 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: Tell me they wouldn't match up better with any one 104 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: of them. You could look at Notre you could look 105 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 3: at Vanderbilt. As much as I despise the little man 106 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: syndrome quarterback and his pain in the butt mom, Vanderbilt 107 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: would have given one of those guys a better game 108 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: than any one of them. 109 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: Oh totally. Any of those teams out would beat either 110 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: those two teams by two touchdowns. And this Notre Dame. 111 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: And you're the expert here, so you back me up 112 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: on this. Notre Dame is like the Yankees of or 113 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys of college football. Yeah, they're the villain if 114 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: they're in a conference, they're not near the villain. They 115 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: are as an independent. And that's great for college football 116 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: to have that team, just like the Yankees are great 117 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: for baseball, the Cowboys are good for football. You need 118 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Notre Dame to be an independent. 119 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: Well, and it's like that first loss for Alabama didn't 120 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: even matter. 121 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, are we not even talking about that? Notre Dame 122 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: lost to two teams that are in the tournament, two 123 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: of the top teams, Miami and Texas A and m 124 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: that I'll put those two losses up against any of 125 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: the two loss teams. You're right, Alabama lost to Florida State, 126 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: who stinks stinks me on Week one, like that didn't matter. 127 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: Forget about that. We don't need to go back in history. 128 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: But all of the people saying that Notre Dame is 129 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: just the crying Irish. Now, well, some of those players 130 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: are probably gonna get drafted. Why do they want to 131 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: go to the Pop Tart Bowling? If you're not playing 132 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: for a touchdown championship, you'll. 133 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: Try to set it out. 134 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: I'm old enough to remember when seventh round picks Sam 135 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: Hartman set out a meaning game Casey's boyfriend, your boyfriend, 136 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 3: Sam hart but beautiful hair.
