Speaker 2: Chad Brendle.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 4: I am pretty much entirely in the mode where I'm
Speaker 4: just waiting to get to Memphis on Thursday and eat guts'
Speaker 4: his fried chicken. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Nice, nice, all right? Speaking of the bowl game.
Speaker 2: The news of the day for the Bearcats, Evan Pryor,
Speaker 2: the running back or average six point nine yards of
Speaker 2: carried this year in rushing for over five hundred yards,
Speaker 2: has entered the Transfer Portal.
Speaker 3: Your reaction to the news of the day.
Speaker 4: Cincinnati has to be really smart with their money that
Speaker 4: they don't have a lot of it. I think Evan
Speaker 4: Pryor was, and probably rightfully so, looking for a you know,
Speaker 4: this last year, looking for a big pay day. And
Speaker 4: I think he's probably a running back two for Cincinnati
Speaker 4: at least the way that they want to run the football.
Speaker 4: They prefer Corey kiner Tywee Walker type in that running
Speaker 4: back one spot it's probably best for both parties if
Speaker 4: they go their separate ways. But that's not to diminish
Speaker 4: this was not Evan Pryor wasn't good enough. Cincinnati's moving on.
Speaker 4: It's just in the new world of college football, financials
Speaker 4: play into it, maybe more than any of us would
Speaker 4: like them to. But that's a factor you have to,
Speaker 4: you know, put into the the mix for how these
Speaker 4: things play out.
Speaker 5: When it comes to the money and be smart with
Speaker 5: the money. How much of it do you think is
Speaker 5: you know, saving up for having to invest in a
Speaker 5: quarterback and the outrageous prices that college quarterbacks are going
Speaker 5: for these days.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's some talk in a couple of articles
Speaker 4: that have been coming out recently that you're talking like
Speaker 4: a million and a half two million dollars for guys
Speaker 4: that are backups. Wow, now they're probably good backups, you know,
Speaker 4: like the kid at Ohio State who's almost won that
Speaker 4: job the past two years. Try talking to a million
Speaker 4: and a half two million dollars to get him to
Speaker 4: get the kid from Notre Dame probably over a million
Speaker 4: dollars that that was the backup there. I've heard. I've
Speaker 4: heard anywhere from four to six million dollars for Brendan Soursby.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: So we thought that the market would would calm down, right, Like, okay,
Speaker 4: revenue shares here, the cap is in place, but for
Speaker 4: positions like quarterback, you can round up nil money. That's
Speaker 4: that's actual nil money that you know. These getting kids
Speaker 4: are QB one. They're marketable in those those markets. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and that money is not flowing down at all. So
Speaker 4: you guys save the money for a quarterback ofton.
Speaker 2: So you Kegan, you guys, everybody at Bearcat Journal, you
Speaker 2: guys are all over this and do it like nobody's
Speaker 2: business keeping track of the portal?
Speaker 3: What going into the bowl game?
Speaker 2: How would you categorize the general shape of the roster
Speaker 2: going into the bowl game based on everything that is transpired?
Speaker 4: Uh, not terrible, but certainly not what you want against Navy,
Speaker 4: Like in this era, the last thing you want to
Speaker 4: see going into a bowl game as a service academy,
Speaker 4: especially a good service academy. This is a good Navy team.
Speaker 4: They don't deal with opt outs, they don't deal with
Speaker 4: kids entering the transfer portal. Like the team that they
Speaker 4: had all season is going to be the team that
Speaker 4: you play. I think there's a chance you're gonna see
Speaker 4: some true freshmen playing against Navy in the defensive secondary
Speaker 4: that that redshirted that did not play a snap all season,
Speaker 4: and you're gonna probably see a couple of them out
Speaker 4: there against Navy. That is I classify that as less
Speaker 4: than ideal. Yes, so you know, it's it's not great,
Speaker 4: But I think offensively they should still be fine. Most
Speaker 4: of the other offensive line is going to be there,
Speaker 4: Joe Royer's playing. My understanding is Cyrus Allen and Jeff
Speaker 4: Caldwell are going to play. Well. You know, Brady Lichtenberg
Speaker 4: is gonna that nobody deserves a shot more than Brady
Speaker 4: Lichtenberg and he's gonna have most of his weapons. So
Speaker 4: offensively they should be fine. But the question is do
Speaker 4: we get to the end of the game and you
Speaker 4: look and Navy's had forty five minutes in time of
Speaker 4: possession and Cincinnati's had like fourteen and a half.
Speaker 5: Ye are there any like is there a positive to
Speaker 5: having some of those young guys play because they are
Speaker 5: likely to come back next year?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is it just one game and it doesn't matter that much? Like,
Speaker 5: how is the stats viewing this game in terms of
Speaker 5: like the development of those young players.
Speaker 4: You're gonna get to see what you've got with quite
Speaker 4: a few of them. You know, it's not a normal
Speaker 4: game situation playing Navy, but you're gonna have seen them
Speaker 4: for the fifteen Bowl practices. You're gonna get to see
Speaker 4: what they look like in the game. You're gonna see
Speaker 4: how they take to the coaching. You know that there
Speaker 4: are definitely some advantages on defense with getting a look
Speaker 4: at these young guys right as the portal opens, so
Speaker 4: you're gonna get a better idea of what you have.
Speaker 4: You know, there's some guys that I think you know,
Speaker 4: like CJ. Krit at safety is a name that they
Speaker 4: really love, and I think you know, after red shirting
Speaker 4: all year, you're gon't get a chance to see what
Speaker 4: you've gotten in CJ. Crit a little bit. You're gonna
Speaker 4: get to look at at Daniel Jones at outside corner
Speaker 4: a little bit more frequently. There's a red a guy
Speaker 4: that red shirted this year named Patrick Williams, a corner
Speaker 4: that they really like that you're gonna be able to
Speaker 4: get a look at. So it's going to be beneficial
Speaker 4: in you know, several of these instances where you don't
Speaker 4: have to wait until spring, you know, to find out
Speaker 4: what some of these guys are going to give you,
Speaker 4: especially what are their practice habits, like how do they
Speaker 4: handle going from you know, not playing a whole lot
Speaker 4: to being thrown into the mix. So there is some
Speaker 4: positive that can come from it. Again, the problem though,
Speaker 4: is you're playing the triple option and Navy and I
Speaker 4: don't know how much in the game you can take
Speaker 4: from especially defensive backs that you're good to see how
Speaker 4: they tackle, but not going to get to see a
Speaker 4: whole lot of coverage, and you know, playing an advanced
Speaker 4: like passing scheme by any stretch.
Speaker 2: All right, basketball question for you went over Lipscomb last night.
Speaker 2: Now the Big Twelve with Houston on Saturday, they play
Speaker 2: eighteen Big Twelve games. If I were to give you
Speaker 2: an over under on Big Twelve wins for UC, if
Speaker 2: I just off the top of my head said seven
Speaker 2: and a half, how would you feel about that number?
Speaker 4: Well, if it was before Gizzl James came back, and
Speaker 4: they have looked, especially offensively, significantly better with Gigsel James
Speaker 4: on the floor, I would have laughed, taken under and
Speaker 4: ran to the bank with whatever you allowed me to bet. Now, now,
Speaker 4: I'd say, now that's probably in the right realm. Seven
Speaker 4: to eight. I mean, I'd still the offense has just
Speaker 4: been so inconsistent that I don't have a great feeling
Speaker 4: that they get into that eight, nine, ten win range.
Speaker 4: Yet it has been better, but it was so bad
Speaker 4: for the first ten games that that has not left
Speaker 4: my brain. So here's the other problem. Lance. They played
Speaker 4: two seasons in the Big twelve. They won seven games
Speaker 4: both times, one of them with a twenty game schedule.
Speaker 4: Now they're going back to an eighteen game schedule. I'd
Speaker 4: still probably take under, but at least I feel a
Speaker 4: little bit better about things than I did two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yet I want you to know you missed a golden
Speaker 2: opportunity in the last ninety seconds to drop in a
Speaker 2: six to seven and people would have gone crazy.
Speaker 4: I could have, but they wore that out at the
Speaker 4: game last night. They had six to seven games at.
Speaker 3: The Gamelan Yes classic.
Speaker 4: I have a teenage daughter. I'm over oh.
Speaker 2: Yes, But for the kids, all right, map out the itinerary.
Speaker 2: When do you hit the road, it will it be
Speaker 2: all forces you and Keegan and preview all the coverage
Speaker 2: coming up from Bearkat journal dot com.
Speaker 4: So we I hit the road Thursday morning, hopefully by
Speaker 4: dinner Thursday night, I'm at Gussa's Fried Chicken. That's the plans.
Speaker 4: Keegan and I will both be in Memphis, and then Keegan,
Speaker 4: because he's just a warrior, is gonna go back to
Speaker 4: the I got an airbnb for both of us. He's
Speaker 4: gonna go back and sleep until like three four o'clock
Speaker 4: in the morning, and then he's gonna get up and
Speaker 4: drive back to Cincinnati for the Houston game.
Speaker 3: Oh oh my god. Yeah, cruel and unusual. How about that?
Speaker 4: I mean, you know I did that a lot of
Speaker 4: that stuff back in when I was his age. Anymore,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna stop in Nashville, watch the game in Nashville,
Speaker 4: and I'll catch up later.
Speaker 3: I understood.
Speaker 5: To clarify, you're going to ride chicken place instead of
Speaker 5: a barbecue place in Memphis?
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 4: Often Gusses Fried Chicken is the best fried chicken I've
Speaker 4: ever had.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just wondering, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's so good. It's become a national chain,
Speaker 4: like they're all over the place now, but one of
Speaker 4: the original locations is in downtown Memphis. You now, people
Speaker 4: win Like Cincinnatians. When they leave Cincinnati and then they
Speaker 4: come back, they go to Skyline. Yes, like before they
Speaker 4: go home, before they do anything, they go to Skyline.
Speaker 4: That is me with Gusus Fried Chicken. Straight off the expressway,
Speaker 4: straight to Guss's Fried Chicken. I almost got an airbnd.
Speaker 4: That was a block from Gusses. Like that probably a
Speaker 4: bad idea. Yeah, no, that's probably a bad idea. So
Speaker 4: I didn't do that. But yes, the fried chicken, the sides,
Speaker 4: Everything at Gusses is awesome. That's my go to spot
Speaker 4: in Memphis.
Speaker 3: The barbecue is good.
Speaker 4: I'm more of a Texas barbecue guy than a Memphis
Speaker 4: barbecue guy.
