Speaker 1: Duly noted podcast is brought to you by Vice store
Speaker 1: credit union. We never forget that it's your money and
Speaker 1: ABC fine wine and spirits always be celebrating. This is
Speaker 1: the duly noted podcast. Everything with your host.
Speaker 2: Okay. Welcome to another edition of the duly noted podcast.
Speaker 3: We're not far away from where you go to a week.
Speaker 3: That'll be after the first game and of course then
Speaker 3: we'll do a kind of a wrap up of the
Speaker 3: things that happen including the Florida game and then a
Speaker 3: look ahead on Thursdays so it'll be Tuesday Thursday. So anyway.
Speaker 3: But right now I know everybody I got a lot
Speaker 3: of really nice e-mails from people that were really happy
Speaker 3: to see the podcast back and text messages as well.
Speaker 3: You may sense a little bit of excitement in my
Speaker 3: voice and a lot of it has to do with
Speaker 3: the fact that TV Times were announced for several of
Speaker 3: Florida's games and it did feel like again another step forward.
Speaker 3: I it could all blow up. We don't know. I
Speaker 3: mean I'm not going to sit here and say we're
Speaker 3: there's definitely gonna be football September 26. I think there
Speaker 3: will be there probably will be but we don't know
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. I mean shoot. Anything can happen.
Speaker 3: So I'm not going to get too excited but there
Speaker 3: is excitement in my voice. And again we're not going
Speaker 3: to go to the opening game as far as I
Speaker 3: know where we're at at least the mode is that
Speaker 3: we're not going to go. It makes no sense for
Speaker 3: Robbie Knight to go all the way to Oxford and
Speaker 3: watch a zoom call and then draw and then fly
Speaker 3: back or drive back.
Speaker 4: I don't know if we'd fly anyway. So but I'm
Speaker 4: still happy that it's a new game and nobody can
Speaker 4: complain because you get up in the morning you watch
Speaker 4: that game and then there are other games after and
Speaker 4: there are games going on. In fact Kentucky Auburn which
Speaker 4: is a game I'm interested in I can now just
Speaker 4: sit in my office and watch Florida play Ole Miss
Speaker 4: with the sound on it and pay attention to it.
Speaker 4: But you know Kentucky Auburn game will be off in
Speaker 4: the peripheral. I can put that on the other TV.
Speaker 4: It excites me. Hopefully we get we get there it's
Speaker 4: day by day step by step.
Speaker 3: But for those of you who don't know the analysis
Speaker 3: a little while ago before I felt I started taping
Speaker 3: this that Florida's first two games will be new in
Speaker 3: games against Ole Miss Of course there and against South
Speaker 3: Carolina here a little bit later in the show heat.
Speaker 3: Kline is going join us. You guys know Heath. He's
Speaker 3: been he was around here forever doing radio and now
Speaker 3: up in South Carolina in Columbia doing radio up there
Speaker 3: so we'll have him on the show to talk a
Speaker 3: little about about South Carolina. Also they announce the LSU
Speaker 3: game for three thirty but it's an ESPN game so
Speaker 3: it's kind of funny.
Speaker 4: I wonder if this has anything to do with it
Speaker 4: being an ESPN game instead of a CBS game with
Speaker 4: the fact that LSU continues to get gutted every day
Speaker 4: on almost a daily basis.
Speaker 3: And I'll get to that later or if it's just
Speaker 3: that they have LSU on for a lot of other
Speaker 3: games they announced some of the CBS games the first
Speaker 3: day it'll be CBS will be Mississippi State at LSU
Speaker 3: there's there's one example village you playing so we'll go
Speaker 3: right into that now. I'm really this is going to
Speaker 3: be a surreal experience. My wife and I were talking
Speaker 3: we've only seen one Florida football game together in our
Speaker 3: lives in our lives gay and that was the Kentucky
Speaker 3: game the year of Tebow concussion game. I did not
Speaker 3: go to that. I don't want to get into the
Speaker 3: reasons for it. It all worked out for the better.
Speaker 3: One day I'll tell you the whole story but not
Speaker 3: right to tell a story right now. But anyway I
Speaker 3: didn't go to that game.
Speaker 5: That was the only game I have missed.
Speaker 3: Florida game since 94 four because ninety four is when
Speaker 3: I quit being columnist and started writing again I could
Speaker 3: being sports editor and started writing again. So my wife
Speaker 3: and I have not been to a game a game
Speaker 3: a watched a game either now.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna watch them all this year or maybe all.
Speaker 4: I don't know if we're gonna go to the home games.
Speaker 4: I think we will. I mean we're leaning towards it
Speaker 4: we're still going to be doing only zone calls but
Speaker 4: I do feel like like you don't want to spend
Speaker 4: a bunch of money to go and maybe get one
Speaker 4: paragraph of atmosphere you know. I mean the growth is
Speaker 4: not going to be open in all that stuff with
Speaker 4: a home game you can.
Speaker 3: It's worth going and getting some atmosphere and you know
Speaker 3: the social distancing and it will be there and it's
Speaker 3: not like we're going to be exposed that much but
Speaker 3: I'm not 100 percent sure just because I still have
Speaker 3: I'm still leery. You know you make it to 26
Speaker 3: weeks of this crap and you don't want to blow
Speaker 3: it now. So anyway we do know that just just
Speaker 3: quickly some of the other games tick saying them Alabama
Speaker 3: will be on the second week of the season 4
Speaker 3: on CBS George Alabama. It will be an eight o'clock
Speaker 3: game on October 17th. That sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to that. LSU Auburn on the thirty
Speaker 3: first in of course Florida George will be 330 it's
Speaker 3: it's in the contract they there's no big announcement there.
Speaker 3: Alabama LSU will be a six o'clock game on December 14.
Speaker 5: We were I did see a great tweet from Peter
Speaker 5: Byrnes talking about how the day that LSU and know
Speaker 5: that I'm sorry that f that I'm sorry that Alabama
Speaker 5: LSU game is the day of the third round of
Speaker 5: the Masters it's also my birthday November 14th. Thank you
Speaker 5: very much. All guests are welcome.
Speaker 3: And can you imagine that moment when CBS goes and
Speaker 3: that's that's it for the for the third round of
Speaker 3: the Masters Bryce into shambo and Tiger Woods tied for
Speaker 3: a lead that ought to be a great day tomorrow
Speaker 3: and now we take you to LSU and Alabama I
Speaker 3: mean this is surreal to think about that and exciting.
Speaker 3: Now I don't know we're going to see it but
Speaker 3: it's still going to be exciting. So that's where we
Speaker 3: are with the times of games and the funny thing
Speaker 3: is I had written down I was doing the notes
Speaker 3: for the podcast today and I had written down when
Speaker 3: are we going to get the TV schedules.
Speaker 4: And then I then I wrote next to it. Does
Speaker 4: it really matter because look guys none of us. Well
Speaker 4: not now I won't say none of us. Most of
Speaker 4: us are not going to any football games this year.
Speaker 3: We may go to some home games. You may go
Speaker 3: to some home games. Depends on whether you're where your
Speaker 3: priorities are in terms of ticket numbers and everything like
Speaker 3: that whether you can get a ticket for the game.
Speaker 5: I'll get into that in just a minute to but
Speaker 5: for the most part we're gonna be sitting home watching football.
Speaker 5: It does matter what time they're playing it okay. And
Speaker 5: they can announce it on Friday. You're not having to
Speaker 5: make plans to flaunt to drive up to Gainesville. Stay
Speaker 5: in a hotel or go on the road only 500
Speaker 5: tickets available for the school to distribute for 4 road games.
Speaker 5: You're not going to Oxford gay you know so they
Speaker 5: get it. They could have waited till Friday to announce
Speaker 5: outside game would've gone right now.
Speaker 4: I'll set the alarm for 11:00. I'll sleep until 11:00.
Speaker 5: Get up have some breakfast and watch the Gators play
Speaker 5: Ole Miss to open the season.
Speaker 2: Now I will say this this this this discuss this
Speaker 2: real quickly and then we'll take our first break which
Speaker 2: we always take around this time.
Speaker 4: The fact that the game is a new game means
Speaker 4: it's eleven o'clock game out there. That's never good when
Speaker 4: you're the visiting team. But a lot of coaches love it.
Speaker 4: They love to get that game done. Get back. You
Speaker 4: know if that that plane will pull out of Oxford
Speaker 4: Mississippi Eastern time around I don't know five thirty six o'clock.
Speaker 5: You may be home in time to see the eight
Speaker 5: o'clock games or nine o'clock games anyway.
Speaker 2: So in that part of it is good.
Speaker 5: But you always worry about a team going on the
Speaker 5: road for an eleven o'clock game even though you're about
Speaker 5: your your alarm clock its internal alarm clock is still
Speaker 5: set for noon but still you have to get up
Speaker 5: a breakfast and it's got you got to make sure
Speaker 5: you hydrate and get everything done.
Speaker 4: And we're dealing with all this situation obviously and you're
Speaker 4: going to be in a hotel it's gonna make you
Speaker 4: a little nervous too so you get the nerves starting
Speaker 4: the season the nerves of staying in a hotel which
Speaker 4: usually you kind of get out of the way because
Speaker 4: you stay in a hotel for camp but they're not
Speaker 4: doing that this year and you know that I will
Speaker 4: say this that game is kind of ripe for an upset.
Speaker 4: Nobody knows what Lane Kiffin is going to throw at
Speaker 4: him but I think the Florida team is really good
Speaker 4: and we will be talking about that more as we
Speaker 4: go along.
Speaker 3: All the things we're hearing from and last night there
Speaker 3: was a zoom call with Todd Grantham a couple of
Speaker 3: defensive players which is great. Glad Florida's doing that.
Speaker 5: I did ask them a lot about that last week
Speaker 5: that I thought we needed to get to that point.
Speaker 5: People need to hear from the players. And so I
Speaker 5: thought it was great.
Speaker 4: But when you hear everybody who talks about this team
Speaker 4: they want this day in Mullin or are now Todd
Speaker 4: Grantham and I think Wednesday we get Brian Johnson as well.
Speaker 4: It's all positive positive positive. Now I've always said this
Speaker 4: is one of my many sayings I got to write
Speaker 4: these down in a book one day. One of my
Speaker 4: many sayings is the only news that can come out
Speaker 4: of pre-season camp is bad news. You're never gonna get
Speaker 4: good news because you don't know if it's true or not.
Speaker 4: We're not allowed out there. Nobody's allowed out there except
Speaker 4: you know the players and and the staff and the
Speaker 4: trainers and stuff. So for all we know Kyle Pitts
Speaker 4: has dropped every pass he's been thrown. They can say
Speaker 4: he's caught everything and he's making circus catches. We don't
Speaker 4: know that. We assume that they're telling us the truth.
Speaker 4: But I also wonder if coaches are a little more
Speaker 4: like I'm trying to think of the right word effusive
Speaker 4: in their praise because you don't want guys opting out
Speaker 4: and you don't want to you know remember the guy
Speaker 4: last year was a Blige who was a starter an
Speaker 4: offensive line and he quit as after the Georgia game right.
Speaker 4: He quit. And the reason he quit apparently was because
Speaker 4: he was tired of getting yelled at me hard to
Speaker 4: yell at guys man. I don't know if they're having
Speaker 4: to adjust their coaching style because also the guy goes
Speaker 4: That's it I'm opting out. I wonder how. So again
Speaker 4: I'm a a worry about what the coaches say and
Speaker 4: how good these guys are doing. We'll find out in
Speaker 4: a while. Right. If they start playing games we'll take
Speaker 4: a break. By the way it should be game week
Speaker 4: this week we should be sitting here talking about the
Speaker 4: first game if none of this had happened.
Speaker 3: We'd be talking about the opening game but it's still
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about a lot of other games
Speaker 3: and a lot of other things that are going on
Speaker 3: and certainly what is going on around the country in
Speaker 3: terms of players opting out. I do have three things
Speaker 3: ready for you. We will get Heath Cline on here and.
Speaker 3: OK so let's take a break. We'll do that. We'll
Speaker 3: be back with more of the duly noted podcast at
Speaker 3: gator sports icon.
Speaker 6: Bring game day tailgate home this season after a stop
Speaker 6: at ABC fine wine and spirits stock up your huddle

Speaker 8: joined by star we never forget that it's your money.
Speaker 9: All loans subject to approval insured by NCAA.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the duly noted podcast. Okay so now
Speaker 4: that we know some of the game times and we
Speaker 4: also know that Kansas and wall and Wake Forest and
Speaker 4: decided no fans at all.
Speaker 3: I wrote about this in my back nine.
Speaker 10: If you didn't see it I talked to Scott Stricklin
Speaker 10: on Monday about why Florida has not announced or ticket policy.
Speaker 5: And basically you know he said I don't want to
Speaker 5: have to walk something back. Said we we don't know
Speaker 5: we want to wait and see what happens with the
Speaker 5: students coming back for a few weeks.
Speaker 2: What happens with Labor Day a few days after Labor Day.
Speaker 2: Do we have a spike there.
Speaker 4: What happens when we watch the NFL Play. College football
Speaker 4: is cranking up. I mean I know there was a
Speaker 4: game on Saturday and I watched it believe me but
Speaker 4: college football's cranked up a little bit more. It's almost
Speaker 4: like a like an engine that you're the first time
Speaker 4: you turn it it doesn't do anything and the second
Speaker 4: time you turn a car. And then the third week
Speaker 4: it earned rent a room a room and then by
Speaker 4: the fourth week it's either. That's where we are with
Speaker 4: college football. They want to see what happens with those
Speaker 4: games and what happens in the aftermath of those games.
Speaker 4: Sure look they've got seventy five percent of the tickets
Speaker 4: that were sold season tickets were sold. People have not
Speaker 4: cashed in refunds or asked for it to be held
Speaker 4: for next year. They're saying we're at work. We're good
Speaker 4: with it. We'll wait and see like you. And that's
Speaker 4: where Florida is flying. Florida is doing the smart thing.
Speaker 4: I think the FCC has been the smart one. I
Speaker 4: think Florida's been even one of the smarter teams and
Speaker 4: I think they have a very smart HD and that's
Speaker 4: why they're saying oh wait wait. In a few weeks
Speaker 4: we'll let you know how many people we're going to
Speaker 4: let in there and I will tell you that a
Speaker 4: zero attendance is not off the board.
Speaker 5: If there is if it's bad enough Spike wise you
Speaker 5: know to predicate that I don't think it's it's off
Speaker 5: the board. I don't think that'll happen. I think if
Speaker 5: Florida feels like the FCC feels like things have gotten
Speaker 5: really bad again they will be more likely to cancel
Speaker 5: the season than to have no fans that's just my gut.
Speaker 5: But I mean we'll see what happens because we we're
Speaker 5: seeing it around the country and again not a.
Speaker 4: Not only that but the financial situations for everybody just
Speaker 4: continue to hear bet you hear bad news stories and
Speaker 4: this is part of the the issue that I think
Speaker 4: everybody is dealing with is Texas cut a bunch of
Speaker 4: people I think they had 40 people a laid off
Speaker 4: and 40 more vacant jobs are not going to fill
Speaker 4: and made everybody take a pay cut if they made
Speaker 4: more than 30000 Texas Tech cut a bunch of people
Speaker 4: we've already seen other schools cut a bunch of people
Speaker 4: I feel for man they didn't do anything wrong they
Speaker 4: just you know again this goes back to what I've
Speaker 4: talked about before the more money college athletic departments make
Speaker 4: the more they spend and sometimes there is there is
Speaker 4: definitely a lot of fat it's not that hard to
Speaker 4: cut but it's not that doesn't make it easier for
Speaker 4: the people who are being cut they now are part
Speaker 4: of the unemployment generation which we've just come out of
Speaker 4: nowhere and had to deal with.
Speaker 5: So we'll see what happens there. Interesting today right before
Speaker 5: I came in here to do this is that Donald
Speaker 5: Trump in the Big Ten talk today. And Trump is
Speaker 5: trying to get them to play trying to find a
Speaker 5: way for them to play.
Speaker 4: And you know we'll get more tests here we'll get
Speaker 4: rapid testing to all this stuff look And look I'm
Speaker 4: not going to say this is a right thing wrong thing.
Speaker 4: I don't want to get too political list but this
Speaker 4: is a political move. We all know it is he
Speaker 4: wants to win the state of Ohio. He's talking to
Speaker 4: the Pac 12 about this right. He went to California
Speaker 4: you know. So there is a reason behind this but
Speaker 4: I hope I hope it works from that aspect of
Speaker 4: it certainly that the Big Ten finally sees here their ways.
Speaker 4: But you know the Big Ten has screwed this up
Speaker 4: totally and then the story about maybe we'll start on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: Look no matter what they do unless they come and
Speaker 4: play with everybody else and I'm not saying it's right
Speaker 4: to play with everybody else. Please let me be clear
Speaker 4: about that. All I'm saying is the way they have
Speaker 4: handled it from a PR standpoint and from a lack
Speaker 4: of transparency standpoint when all of a sudden just now
Speaker 4: we found out what the vote was it was 11
Speaker 4: 3 on the are not to play. OK. What are
Speaker 4: you going to said that that day. They have not
Speaker 4: done a very good job. I'm not saying they're wrong
Speaker 4: not to play. We'll find out. And I'm I'm sure
Speaker 4: even if the FCC and HCC and big will fly
Speaker 4: through the season with no problems that still doesn't mean
Speaker 4: necessarily they were wrong to cancel they had their reasons
Speaker 4: and that's fine.
Speaker 11: But they just have look come and. And of course
Speaker 11: the PAC clubs out there going No doo doo doo
Speaker 11: doo doo doo.
Speaker 4: Hey man these waves are going to be narrowly today.
Speaker 12: Are they playing football.
Speaker 4: I think the Pac twelve has been way more embarrassing
Speaker 4: than the Big Ten the Big Ten has been proactive
Speaker 4: and done a lot of things and and and thought
Speaker 4: they could maybe bully the other Congresses into not playing
Speaker 4: so they wouldn't look bad and didn't work the PAC
Speaker 4: well just like oh whatever they tell us to do
Speaker 4: we'll do theirs. It's silly out there. Look I get it.
Speaker 4: If I was in the Pac twelve I would probably
Speaker 4: make the same decision as many hot spots as they
Speaker 4: have I get it but you can't act like you're
Speaker 4: only going to do with the Big Ten says and
Speaker 4: there's now there's talk about them totally change in the
Speaker 4: conference changing all the dynamics Hey to get Larry Scott out.
Speaker 10: That's first thing but that's not my problem. Obviously I
Speaker 10: tell you what we'll take a break now. We'll bring
Speaker 10: in Heath Klein. We'll talk to him about the schedule
Speaker 10: that came out today and of course about that Florida
Speaker 10: South Carolina game the second week of the season. And
Speaker 10: then when we come back we'll get into a bunch
Speaker 10: of other stuff. I got tons of stuff to talk about.
Speaker 10: Some sad news as well when you return because it
Speaker 10: feels like I have sad news every week it really
Speaker 10: is kind of I don't know if this is cause
Speaker 10: I'm getting old or people I know are getting old
Speaker 10: but at any rate we'll be right back with more
Speaker 10: on the duly noted podcast gators more Stockholm the duly
Speaker 10: noted podcast is brought to you by Vice store credit union.
Speaker 1: We never forget that it's your money and ABC fine
Speaker 1: wine and spirits always be celebrating. All right.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the duly noted podcast a great pleasure
Speaker 2: to be joined by my good friend Heath Klein of
Speaker 2: course you guys remember his dulcet tones from when he
Speaker 2: was doing radio around here in Gainesville and now up
Speaker 2: in Columbia. Well last week we talked to Richard Cross
Speaker 2: to talk about Ole Miss Florida's opening game this week
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to him about Florida second game
Speaker 2: and also all the stuff that's happened in the SCC
Speaker 2: we mentioned earlier times have been released for a lot
Speaker 2: of games and Heath I don't know whether to be
Speaker 2: excited or just kind of shove it over to the
Speaker 2: corner and say well we'll get to you later.
Speaker 13: I mean look everything that makes it a little bit
Speaker 13: more real I guess you get excited about it a
Speaker 13: bit but I mean we all kind of understand this
Speaker 13: thing pivot on a on a you know any piece
Speaker 13: of news any given moment. I mean like this week
Speaker 13: alone we know Auburn has 16 players according to Amazon
Speaker 13: that wouldn't be able to participate this week. So what
Speaker 13: would that look like. And we know that LSU at
Speaker 13: one point last week reportedly only had four offensive linemen available.
Speaker 13: So it all sounds awesome but then what's it going
Speaker 13: to be like when we get to the point where
Speaker 13: there's not enough time for that to resolve itself before
Speaker 13: a game supposed to get played. You know there's some
Speaker 13: time to move it back. But the SCC by putting
Speaker 13: it on the 26 they made the smart call and
Speaker 13: the idea that they'll let everybody else go first and
Speaker 13: if they have disastrous to the SCC could say well
Speaker 13: we we listen to science and we saw what happened
Speaker 13: and we got out after all. But at the same
Speaker 13: time they've given themselves very little room to move if
Speaker 13: there's problems. So now you see around the conference so
Speaker 13: these issues have popped up already and you do kind
Speaker 13: of say hey for all of us take what we
Speaker 13: can get enjoyed the best we can.
Speaker 14: But this is this is going to be a screwy
Speaker 14: season and we just have to accept that you know
Speaker 14: when time is at Tennessee South Carolina game slated for
Speaker 14: right now I don't have evidence from that game. Yeah
Speaker 14: they went 730 on that one. I'm sorry. I'll be
Speaker 14: able to sit back and watch that and obviously we're
Speaker 14: not going to go to Ole Miss.
Speaker 2: I mean we're not we're not out of our minds
Speaker 2: so that that's good if we get to that point
Speaker 2: but obviously for four it's pretty it's a pretty tough
Speaker 2: opening two games within the division for well most champ
Speaker 2: having to play Tennessee and then the mighty gators.
Speaker 13: Yeah and that you have game really will have a
Speaker 13: lot of emphasis on it because you look at it
Speaker 13: for South Carolina in a lot of ways the last
Speaker 13: two years are defined by the U.S. game last year
Speaker 13: after they had Florida down really felt like was a
Speaker 13: game they should have won and clearly got hosed was
Speaker 13: not a penalty that should have been called. That doesn't
Speaker 13: explain why the run was successful but still I mean
Speaker 13: the guy literally stood up before the FCC didn't call
Speaker 13: him and it winds up being a huge run for
Speaker 13: Florida they'd never seem to quite recover mentally from that.
Speaker 13: The rest of the year there were other factors too.
Speaker 13: Lenski got beaten up and he's trying to play the
Speaker 13: quarterback role as a true freshman the SCC which is
Speaker 13: hard enough already and there's a lot of reasons things
Speaker 13: went wrong. But yeah you think about how different much
Speaker 13: Jeff's season is perceived the year before if they finish
Speaker 13: the job against Florida and Philippe Franks resurrection game and
Speaker 13: then you think about last year and that they were
Speaker 13: really starting to make some headway there coming off the
Speaker 13: Georgia win and how that changed the mood that Florida
Speaker 13: game early on. That's what you feel like all right
Speaker 13: you aren't that far away from this team. You've competed
Speaker 13: with them in the fourth quarter each of the last
Speaker 13: two years. Can you actually find a way to pull
Speaker 13: one out against them because of the five teams on
Speaker 13: their schedule that are in the top 13. Well that's
Speaker 13: the one unless you count Georgia which again Georgia was
Speaker 13: such a weird situation last year it was very weird
Speaker 13: bizarre game that they won that game but for feeling
Speaker 13: like you're close to somebody in that group of five
Speaker 13: that are in the top 13 in the preseason poll
Speaker 13: Ford is clearly the one that you've shown you're closest
Speaker 13: to so can you do something with it finally.
Speaker 2: Obviously South Carolina got bad news with losing a running
Speaker 2: back obviously was a freshman women again. We don't know
Speaker 2: how good he would have been this year but they
Speaker 2: were excited about it.
Speaker 13: Pat Riley It was the most hype I'd heard on
Speaker 13: tailback since Lattimore and that includes to get a guy
Speaker 13: like Mike Davis who had a pretty nice career is
Speaker 13: in the NFL now and some other good players have
Speaker 13: come through. They really thought they had something with light
Speaker 13: and maybe they will but for this year he's out.
Speaker 13: And so that that was a big blow they've had
Speaker 13: almost no injuries they've had almost no covert issues but
Speaker 13: it's well must champ. So if you're going to have
Speaker 13: bad luck it's gonna be the most important possible spot
Speaker 13: you can have it.
Speaker 2: And that is he has when I call like to
Speaker 2: call Zook look which is he just can't seem to
Speaker 2: catch breaks a lot of times. And for example I'll
Speaker 2: give you the Florida game last year where they just
Speaker 2: beat Georgia and had a lot of momentum going and
Speaker 2: what do they get a hurricane that comes through dampens
Speaker 2: the crowd. They still play really well early and take
Speaker 2: that lead and and then not only on the on
Speaker 2: the one play that were for the touchdown by Damian
Speaker 2: Pierce but they also got a touchdown where there was
Speaker 2: a clear pick. Florida did Yep it was it was textbook.
Speaker 2: They've they show this to the referees and go Here's
Speaker 2: where you put the flag and they didn't. So let's look.
Speaker 2: Florida fans aren't complaining. They feel like they get jobs
Speaker 2: all the time too. But that was where you just
Speaker 2: feel like the most champ look came back to to
Speaker 2: beat him and you wonder with a guy like that
Speaker 2: if if he just star crossed all the time he
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be the luckiest guy in the world.
Speaker 13: That's for sure. But having said that this year he
Speaker 13: has in a weird way had some luck because the
Speaker 13: reality is he was coming into a season where all
Speaker 13: the pressure was on him last year nobody went to
Speaker 13: the year thinking he was on the hot seat. He
Speaker 13: was on any national hot seat lists or anything like that.
Speaker 13: Then you lose your starting quarterback. You have some bad
Speaker 13: luck there but you get the win the knock at Ben.
Speaker 13: Well you have to beat the team those ranks that
Speaker 13: first year with Tennessee and that's Butch Jones so that
Speaker 13: almost doesn't count. So what do you get beat so big.
Speaker 13: Well you beat Georgia and so it looked like everything
Speaker 13: was still going to turn out okay. And then by
Speaker 13: the end of the year you had the new president
Speaker 13: talk publicly multiple times in ways that undercut much Champ's
Speaker 13: stability you had board members saying something else. It was
Speaker 13: it was really bad. I mean you had him in
Speaker 13: a position where he was put twisting in the wind
Speaker 13: which is just kind of unthinkable in the span of
Speaker 13: about four weeks that would for that Georgia game to
Speaker 13: that the only reason he's still there is because the
Speaker 13: buyout will now. I mean you know the reality Pat
Speaker 13: I mean every athletic department is taking a massive hit
Speaker 13: this year we know how big the haircut is we
Speaker 13: don't know yet but it's a huge one. Unless there's
Speaker 13: some booster with money burning a hole in his pocket
Speaker 13: to the tune of that 14 million dollars they can't
Speaker 13: get rid of Will Muschamp this year. Not to mention
Speaker 13: what it would say about just the overall standards of
Speaker 13: your university priorities if somebody is willing to spend eight
Speaker 13: plus figures to get rid of a football coach. So
Speaker 13: he at least for this year there's gonna be some
Speaker 13: hothead fans but for real meaningful pressure he's had it
Speaker 13: taken off of him in a way that before it
Speaker 13: could have been possible. So I don't think that's how
Speaker 13: you want to get there by any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 13: But the idea of a you know you lose that
Speaker 13: Tennessee game and let's start talking about who's going to
Speaker 13: replace you. That kind of thing probably has eased and
Speaker 13: that's pretty important for him right now because it was
Speaker 13: setting up exactly like that point you're in Florida where
Speaker 13: everything just was already going to the year with. OK
Speaker 13: when are we going to have the moment where this
Speaker 13: is over. You know what's going to happen to be
Speaker 13: the final moment. Oh it's not the Missouri game.
Speaker 15: How is it not the Missouri game they lost 42
Speaker 15: to 13 and they gave up like five yards. How
Speaker 15: did they do that. It's still is. OK. No it's
Speaker 15: not that.
Speaker 13: I guess it's the Georgia. We won the Georgia game.
Speaker 13: Well OK it's the South Carolina. Well they can't lose
Speaker 13: the South Carolina game. Oh no way to spur your
Speaker 13: team plus two kicks. Well sure they did. Yeah. And
Speaker 13: finally that's the end of must GAAP that whole bizarre
Speaker 13: sequence of events there. It felt like we were headed
Speaker 13: for that exact same thing in 2020 in South Carolina instead.
Speaker 13: It's probably not going to be much of a story.
Speaker 2: And for him that is like you know I think
Speaker 2: you would have to get as a head football coach
Speaker 2: you would have to get caught in a crack den
Speaker 2: to get fired this year. I mean when you see
Speaker 2: Texas and Texas Tech both laid off numerous employees in
Speaker 2: the last two days pay cuts all around buyouts are uncommon.
Speaker 2: You know you'd have to have a very small buyout
Speaker 2: I think to get fired. And I agree with you
Speaker 2: on that with well I think no matter what happens
Speaker 2: it again I think everybody every coach should be judged
Speaker 2: basically on the good things they do this year not
Speaker 2: the bad things. In other words if you if you
Speaker 2: take a stand for social justice and you keep your
Speaker 2: team with you and you you get them you you
Speaker 2: march like like he did and like Dan Mullen did.
Speaker 2: If you mean is the coveted thing really well and
Speaker 2: you handle things very well and you get your guys
Speaker 2: ready to play and you they may not win games.
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure there's a reason to fire anybody
Speaker 2: that has a significant buyout anywhere this year.
Speaker 13: The only reason I would think he could would be
Speaker 13: if you had some coach that you knew you could
Speaker 13: hire that you were sure you could hire and he
Speaker 13: was just so clearly an upgrade that you were just
Speaker 13: determined to go do it. So yeah I don't think
Speaker 13: Bob Stoops to sit around saying that I'd love to
Speaker 13: be coach South Carolina but if somehow he let it
Speaker 13: be known he would take the job well then maybe
Speaker 13: you view it differently than if you're talking about going
Speaker 13: out and try to hire Billy Napier from Louisiana for
Speaker 13: example or something like that. Well that's about the only
Speaker 13: scenario it is if you either have like you say
Speaker 13: just a total disaster you've lost the locker room everything
Speaker 13: is chaos or if you have that that unique super
Speaker 13: coach that is perfect for what you're looking for and
Speaker 13: I mean that's part of why last year they couldn't
Speaker 13: make the move the money was a huge part. But
Speaker 13: I mean look we saw an offensive line coach get
Speaker 13: an S.E.C. head coaching job. We saw Eli drink with
Speaker 13: soccer one year with another guys players get a four
Speaker 13: million dollar deal from Missouri. I mean that was just
Speaker 13: was not high quality coaching depth to work with last
Speaker 13: year to make hires. Arizona did not fire someone. Same
Speaker 13: reason they could find anybody they wanted. So yeah unless
Speaker 13: you've got that guy you're just in love with. It's
Speaker 13: just hard to see what the point would be if
Speaker 13: making a coaching change for most people this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And again this goes back to that part of
Speaker 2: the economic model that is college football the more money
Speaker 2: they get the more they spend. Carol quickly because I
Speaker 2: have one other question for you too. But but Heath
Speaker 2: what do you think of this football team this year.
Speaker 2: How do you think it's going to. I mean I
Speaker 2: think they're over under was like four and a half.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 13: I don't if I go over on that the number
Speaker 13: I'd say was three and a half and I think
Speaker 13: it's perfect because the reality is look there's there's one
Speaker 13: game on the schedule they basically can't lose. Vanderbilt is
Speaker 13: a disaster this year. There's an outstanding chance they go
Speaker 13: in 10 and even in the spirit or leaves halfway
Speaker 13: year they still beat Vanderbilt. So I just I cannot
Speaker 13: imagine them losing to Vanderbilt at home. So you got
Speaker 13: one that you can't lose. You got five against teams
Speaker 13: in the top 13. You have been one of them
Speaker 13: as well as Georgia on the road against LSU. Texas
Speaker 13: CNN who you've not been able to make any headway with.
Speaker 13: You know Georgia I mean you just eat Auburn you've
Speaker 13: got games there that at least on paper you know
Speaker 13: maybe you could steal one maybe maybe have a weird
Speaker 13: situation where somebody is depleted and you take advantage. But
Speaker 13: on paper going into the year it's hard to say
Speaker 13: give you at most one of those games and that's it.
Speaker 13: And maybe none. So then you've got four other games
Speaker 13: that you basically have to be perfect in to get
Speaker 13: to five hundred and that includes a road trip to
Speaker 13: Kentucky and the final game of the year that's now
Speaker 13: in December and you know how Kentucky can be late
Speaker 13: this year. That could be a mighty chilly game.
Speaker 2: And a lot of money at times. Who knows by
Speaker 2: then what crowds are going to look like. I mean
Speaker 2: it could be that if you do have a home
Speaker 2: call home field advantage by then.
Speaker 13: Yes. So I mean you got you got a road
Speaker 13: trip to Ole Miss. Should get a Missouri home game
Speaker 13: that you know Missouri feels pretty winnable. I'd be surprised
Speaker 13: if they lost that one. But you know I could
Speaker 13: buy two an eight for this team if everything goes
Speaker 13: wrong and the games like Tennessee and Ole Miss and
Speaker 13: I could buy you know maybe five if they can
Speaker 13: go for one in the winnable games and then steal
Speaker 13: the one out of the others. But but when your
Speaker 13: high watermark is five hundred then it's hard to get
Speaker 13: super excited about the year and for them it's really
Speaker 13: more about can they just survive because the way the S.E.C.
Speaker 13: has set the schedule up three of their foremost winnable
Speaker 13: games are in their last four. So can you win
Speaker 13: the Tennessee game in particular is gigantic because if you
Speaker 13: don't then the only game that's not against what those
Speaker 13: top 13 teams is the ante in week three. So
Speaker 13: you're looking at probably being 1 in 5 2 and
Speaker 13: 4 at best if you don't beat Tennessee start the
Speaker 13: season and then who knows where you are mentally by
Speaker 13: the time you get to Ole Miss of Missouri and
Speaker 13: Kentucky they're a little bit more winnable they're down the stretch.
Speaker 14: Before I let you go across the state I'm curious
Speaker 14: what your thought was and I always get cracked up
Speaker 14: on national NFL guys and national guys try to talk
Speaker 14: about college sports because they don't understand it but when
Speaker 14: the discussion about Dabo Sweeney go into the Jaguars and
Speaker 14: Trevon Lawrence I left I literally had a spit take
Speaker 14: when I heard that because that seemed a little silly
Speaker 14: to me put it this way Dabo does not feel
Speaker 14: in any way like he is someone who is cut
Speaker 14: out to be an NFL head coach who holds the
Speaker 14: jets was before my time Pat but I've heard the
Speaker 14: stories about how he had like a fight song he
Speaker 14: won the Jets saying in South and how it was
Speaker 14: just a disaster that's what that feels like Dabo in
Speaker 14: the NFL feels like that.
Speaker 13: The one thing though would be if you are Davao
Speaker 13: and for whatever reason you find yourself in a situation
Speaker 13: where something changes where the world is not totally to
Speaker 13: your liking and there is a scenario. Dan radical which
Speaker 13: they did there. Their name. His name is is very
Speaker 13: much in the mix for the FCC commissioner John. So
Speaker 13: let's just say hypothetically radical which leaves and somehow the
Speaker 13: new guy despite the fact that your only job is
Speaker 13: make Dabo Happy doesn't make Dabo happy. Maybe then you
Speaker 13: could decide you know what. I could go get a
Speaker 13: giant salary see if I could do the NFL thing
Speaker 13: with Trevor Lawrence and on top of that it's even
Speaker 13: easier to come back to take that Alabama job after
Speaker 13: Nick Saban leaves than it was to leave Clemson in
Speaker 13: the first place and go to Bama and even talk
Speaker 13: to Bama while you're at Clemson now would be mighty hard.
Speaker 13: I think it would almost disrespect what you had built
Speaker 13: there if you're Dabo but to possibly leave the Jaguars
Speaker 13: after two years you're literally following the slave and models
Speaker 13: so I think that's likely. I don't think that's likely
Speaker 13: at all but that's the one thing because remember people
Speaker 13: forget Roy Williams turned down the North Carolina job the
Speaker 13: first time that was offered. That's how they wound up
Speaker 13: with Bill Guthrie as the coach for three years and
Speaker 13: then three years later when they hired Dorsey it was
Speaker 13: because again. Right. Right. I'm sorry I screwed up. Guthrie
Speaker 13: got the job did Roy Williams was going to get
Speaker 13: it on the backside it gets rich. And it was
Speaker 13: it was dirty for three years because he turned it down.
Speaker 13: And when Roy Williams turned it down a flawed everybody
Speaker 13: because that wasn't supposed to happen. But he stayed of Kansas.
Speaker 13: And then after dawn he didn't work out three years
Speaker 13: later he takes the job in 2003. Why do you
Speaker 13: take it. Because Al Bowl had become the desert Kansas
Speaker 13: and somehow al bowl came in for Fresno State Rep.
Speaker 13: Roy Williams the wrong way and so three years later
Speaker 13: he is willing to bail when he wasn't three years earlier.
Speaker 13: So yeah you never know. Just Jeff sometimes and you
Speaker 13: know Pat I mean Spurrier part of wipes for your left.
Speaker 13: Was that the president it changed Lombardi wasn't there young
Speaker 13: was and some things have changed and so you never
Speaker 13: know if radical which is out that be the one
Speaker 13: thing I'd say maybe I'd buy it right now. Yeah.
Speaker 14: I'd be real surprised by the way I asked Spurrier
Speaker 14: about it today we were called.
Speaker 2: We were talking about some other things and asked him
Speaker 2: about that and he said he was talking about well
Speaker 2: you know in the day when I did it you
Speaker 2: could triple your salary. Course that was a dumb ass
Speaker 2: thing to do to leave for the NFL. I don't
Speaker 2: know what I was thinking sir because he's just priceless.
Speaker 2: You know that's why we love him so much. Hey.
Speaker 2: And that's why we love you he. Thank you so
Speaker 2: much for joining us. We'll be back more with more
Speaker 2: of the duly noted podcasts here at gator sports dot com.
Speaker 1: OK. Thanks to Heath Klein.
Speaker 5: We appreciate his time and one of my best friends.
Speaker 5: We worked together for so long we had so many
Speaker 5: great lively discussions. That was the great thing about it.
Speaker 3: So we do have football this week but I'm OK.
Speaker 3: I didn't you know I usually give you the odds
Speaker 3: and stuff on Spirit spreads on game and I don't
Speaker 3: worry about it right now. We'll get to that next week.
Speaker 3: I promise you.
Speaker 5: In fact I'm going to be on a little bit
Speaker 5: of a vacation next week but I already told my
Speaker 5: boss I'm coming in to do the podcast Tuesday put
Speaker 5: that in your pipe because we're not we're not stopping.
Speaker 5: The only way we stop doing the podcast is if
Speaker 5: they stop playing football. OK. We're going to keep doing
Speaker 5: it because I know a lot of people really enjoy
Speaker 5: it and the time on the treadmill goes by a
Speaker 5: little faster. Right. All right.
Speaker 16: So you know the thing that's happening with LSU is amazing.
Speaker 4: And I like I had them lower in my pre-season
Speaker 4: poll my AP poll than obviously they were they ended
Speaker 4: up I think they were six in both and I
Speaker 4: had him eight. Right now where would I put him.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'd had him in the top 10.
Speaker 5: Ma Chase ops out Tyler Shelburne more of their best
Speaker 5: defensive player ops out and I oh I almost think
Speaker 5: like they're like look this is not going well we
Speaker 5: don't think we're gonna go we're gonna be any like
Speaker 5: we knew coming back that it wasn't gonna be the
Speaker 5: same as last year and we were have a target
Speaker 5: on our back but we just don't think we're gonna be.
Speaker 5: We could see like seven and three and we don't
Speaker 5: necessarily want to be part of it and don't want
Speaker 5: to take a chance and get hurt both those guys
Speaker 5: are first round picks DeMar Chase maybe a top five pick.
Speaker 5: Now I don't know what it does to his draft
Speaker 5: status as the NFL looks at him and says well
Speaker 5: you must do you love football this is a question
Speaker 5: the NFL guys are always trying to ascertain how much
Speaker 5: do you love football because you didn't love it enough
Speaker 5: to go play with your teammates for whatever reason and
Speaker 5: it's you know I understand it and you've got that right.
Speaker 4: So that's happened. You know another one that was kind
Speaker 4: of under the radar Eli Johnson the starting center at
Speaker 4: Ole Miss. I think he opted out and now he's
Speaker 4: going to transfer. I think when I read we see
Speaker 4: this all over the place guys and I don't think
Speaker 4: I think one reason it hasn't happened at Florida and
Speaker 4: it could still. Like I said any any day Nelson
Speaker 4: two guys could opt out. But I think one reason
Speaker 4: is that the juniors on this team are players who
Speaker 4: have a chance to do some special and be high
Speaker 4: draft picks but they're not guaranteed it. They kind of
Speaker 4: need to play another year and do something. And the
Speaker 4: the juniors on this team already decided to come back
Speaker 4: because they got the input from the NFL and the
Speaker 4: NFL input. Well obviously wouldn't Very good. So they said
Speaker 4: hey we're coming back. So I think that's one reason
Speaker 4: maybe why Florida hasn't hasn't had this situation. And of
Speaker 4: course I think Florida's handled things really well. And I
Speaker 4: think they've done things the right way and I think
Speaker 4: the players feel pretty safe now. We'll see going forward.
Speaker 17: Now the students are back.
Speaker 5: So we got that. I don't want to do I
Speaker 5: don't even need to get into this whole Jaguar thing.
Speaker 5: You know I know there's some Jaguar fans out there
Speaker 5: that listen to this podcast man. It is amazing what
Speaker 5: is going on. You guys all know the numbers. The
Speaker 5: stretch run they had first thought top five draft picks
Speaker 5: none I'm still with the team Leonard Fournette the latest
Speaker 5: to get released because they couldn't find a it couldn't
Speaker 5: find a team that would trade for him. That tells
Speaker 5: you a lot about his attitude.
Speaker 4: I've been a big believer in this that that team
Speaker 4: they had in 17 had too much success at a
Speaker 4: young age and let it all go to their heads.
Speaker 4: And I think that's where a leader whether that leader
Speaker 4: is your head coach or an assistant coach or one
Speaker 4: of the players on the team. I don't think they
Speaker 4: had that guy.
Speaker 5: And I think that's why it's all blown up and
Speaker 5: now you're sitting here looking at this situation where it's
Speaker 5: tank for Trevor. A lot of people feel like I
Speaker 5: don't know how they're going to win three or four games.
Speaker 5: I asked this question on the other day who was
Speaker 5: I asking too. I can't remember now but anyway.
Speaker 4: Oh Mike Rocco. I said Who. How many do you
Speaker 4: think that C.J. Henderson one more game as a freshman
Speaker 4: in college or as a. Will he win more games
Speaker 4: as a rookie in the NFL first game first year
Speaker 4: I think about 1 4 games as a freshman not
Speaker 4: a great weight great way to start. Coach got fired
Speaker 4: he could win four games maybe in the NFL and
Speaker 4: coach get fired.
Speaker 5: So I feel bad for C.J. in a way but
Speaker 5: he's I'm sure he's pretty happy.
Speaker 4: Anyway so this whole thing about David I mentioned but
Speaker 4: he's I I don't I still don't see any way
Speaker 4: that's happened in and the other thing is you can't
Speaker 4: guarantee that somehow that Gardner means she doesn't go off
Speaker 4: on a couple of games and you know teams win
Speaker 4: and lose in the NFL bad teams win games good
Speaker 4: teams lose games in the NFL this is a college
Speaker 4: football where teams go to 12 and no all the
Speaker 4: time or eleven and one even really good teams go
Speaker 4: 13 and 3 and bad teams go four and twelve
Speaker 4: you know and that could happen and then all of
Speaker 4: a sudden somebody else goes through and all the jets
Speaker 4: go 3 and 13 and you don't have the first
Speaker 4: pick OK oh maybe you could Justin feels in course
Speaker 4: he hadn't played near although we'll see where that goes.
Speaker 5: What else did I want to talk about pre-season poll
Speaker 5: out for the American Athletic Conference. UCSF and Cincinnati basically
Speaker 5: almost a dead heat three points separating them. We are
Speaker 5: gonna do. I don't know if I'm even supposed to
Speaker 5: announce this but I'm gonna do it anyway. Jeanette which
Speaker 5: of course is our parent company. Now we're putting together
Speaker 5: our own FCC media day so we'll do a poll
Speaker 5: that'll come out soon.
Speaker 10: I'm sure the coaches will have a poll but we'll
Speaker 10: have our own poll to beat writers and an all
Speaker 10: FCC team and some other stuff. So be on the
Speaker 10: lookout for that in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: All right. Let's get to three things.
Speaker 18: It's time for three things.
Speaker 5: Number one I talked about how it just feels like
Speaker 5: every week I'm on here talking about somebody that we've
Speaker 5: lost some of some time to somebody I knew sometimes
Speaker 5: is somebody I don't know no I didn't know Monday
Speaker 5: was a really bad day my my wife's brother Michael
Speaker 5: passed away he'd been he'd been ill for a while.
Speaker 5: I don't want to get into specifics but he just
Speaker 5: you know events in his body gave out. It was
Speaker 5: just done. We're all we're all in these little vessels
Speaker 5: you know that's what we are. These bodies are our vessels.
Speaker 5: And at some point they just say son that's all
Speaker 5: I got. It's all you get. And it was very
Speaker 5: sad for her very sad for me. He was a
Speaker 5: sweetheart of a man just a great guy. And it
Speaker 5: makes me very very very sad. It's been a hard
Speaker 5: obviously a very difficult week for my wife's family. But
Speaker 5: you know I spent so much time with the guy
Speaker 5: it's very hard for me too and very hard for
Speaker 5: to lose somebody that young is he was certainly way
Speaker 5: younger than me. So we're on that same day we
Speaker 5: lose John Thompson. And that was you know I guess
Speaker 5: my relation with John Thompson Ali I interviewed him a
Speaker 5: couple of times and I was telling this story the
Speaker 5: other day. I the first time I interviewed John Thompson
Speaker 5: I I was afraid I was afraid because he's so smart.
Speaker 5: I was afraid of asking a stupid question. And you
Speaker 5: know me I can ask a stupid question I was petrified.
Speaker 5: I've never been that scared interviewing somebody because I just
Speaker 5: didn't want ask the wrong question. And luckily I think
Speaker 5: I got do it without being corrected or being told
Speaker 5: that was a dumb question. Mostly the story was about
Speaker 5: his son who was coaching against Florida in the NCAA
Speaker 5: tournament and that was the year Florida course won the
Speaker 5: first national championship. But that's John Thompson. You know I
Speaker 5: don't know if he's on the Mount Rushmore of coaches
Speaker 5: in terms of just coaching but he's out on the
Speaker 5: Mount Rushmore of coaches who affected the game and affected
Speaker 5: their players and affect the people around him. There's no
Speaker 5: doubt he'd be on that. And of course Chadwick Bozeman
Speaker 5: was a another tough loss over the weekend. You know
Speaker 5: obviously I didn't know him but I'd forgotten how he
Speaker 5: played the linebacker and Draft Day which is a movie
Speaker 5: I like. I know I know what I've got on
Speaker 5: Rotten Tomatoes. I like that movie a lot. I thought
Speaker 5: it was pretty cool with Kevin Costner. He played that
Speaker 5: and of course he played Jackie Robinson 42 which is
Speaker 5: I watched it again last night. I welled up a
Speaker 5: little bit thinking about it. So tough tough week and
Speaker 5: it feels like I don't know life is not fair.
Speaker 5: Well you have to kind of deal with it because
Speaker 5: it's not going to be it's not going to get
Speaker 5: any more fair. You know it's just isn't the vessels
Speaker 5: wear out for one reason or another Chadwick Bozeman had
Speaker 5: colon cancer. Obviously you're that young you're not going to
Speaker 5: get a call and ask a B to check to
Speaker 5: see if you've got it. You know nobody would tell
Speaker 5: you you should so anyway on that lively positive note
Speaker 5: let's switch off in number two on three things.
Speaker 4: I really enjoy the golf this weekend that that finish
Speaker 4: was incredible with Dustin Johnson making that roller coaster putt
Speaker 4: and then John Rahm making one right behind him in
Speaker 4: the playoff hole.
Speaker 10: It sets up for a fun week end of golf
Speaker 10: because it doesn't start till Friday. The Tour Championship and
Speaker 10: I was on the roller coaster myself with Billy Billy
Speaker 10: Herschel who looked like he was in. Then he was
Speaker 10: out and it went back and forth in fact my
Speaker 10: daughters got me watching she wants me to watch all
Speaker 10: the Harry Potter movies with her and so I'm doing
Speaker 10: it because I love her and she was right about
Speaker 10: Breaking Bad. She's usually right about every movie she makes
Speaker 10: me watch Harry Potter were three deep. OK so far
Speaker 10: and I'm going to go with a I like the
Speaker 10: first one a lot. The second one was not good
Speaker 10: in my opinion the third one was pretty good.
Speaker 19: They are long they are long.
Speaker 5: So I think we got number four tonight. But she
Speaker 5: said Dad you can watch. You don't have to watch
Speaker 5: his golf. Come watch it. So I taped it so
Speaker 5: I watch it. And I wouldn't sure for sure until
Speaker 5: I came back to see a Billy Herschel didn't make
Speaker 5: the top 30 and he did barely skin of his teeth.
Speaker 5: Happy for him. I'm such a Billy Herschel fan. I
Speaker 5: cannot tell you obviously. Fact maybe when the tour championships over.
Speaker 5: Of course can't get him on that well because the U.S.
Speaker 5: Opens VA employee so I say we get him on
Speaker 5: the podcast. I'll still try. I'll shoot for it at
Speaker 5: some point. But just the greatest guy in the world.
Speaker 4: So I root hard for him unfortunately starts out with
Speaker 4: a 10 shot deficit to Dustin Johnson the way they
Speaker 4: set up that tour championship which I get. But because
Speaker 4: you don't want to play all year to get to
Speaker 4: that point and then you're all and that's the way
Speaker 4: it used to be.
Speaker 5: Now everybody's even but this is a great opportunity for
Speaker 5: ability because yeah you set your schedule you're in everything
Speaker 5: now a term you want to play and you're in
Speaker 5: terms champions you're in all the majors you're in. I
Speaker 5: might have already been qualified forum but that's good news
Speaker 5: for a for Billy. But it was a lot of
Speaker 5: fun to watch.
Speaker 4: And number three because I don't I can't do a
Speaker 4: tweet of the week on a sign because the sign
Speaker 4: is visual but I want to share this with you.
Speaker 2: And I know that you may have already heard about
Speaker 2: this because it's making the rounds all over Twitter.
Speaker 5: There is a road sign from the Department of Transportation
Speaker 5: in Mississippi and you'll see it on the highway and
Speaker 5: you look and you won't be hard for you to
Speaker 5: find it. But here's what it says. Like the Big
Speaker 5: Ten stay home and avoid gatherings. That's their warning to people.
Speaker 5: This is in Jackson Mississippi.
Speaker 19: Man was Cole brother Cole not accurate.
Speaker 5: We'll see. Maybe they don't stay home. Maybe they do
Speaker 5: decide to play we don't we don't know what's going
Speaker 5: to happen there. I don't personally I don't think the
Speaker 5: president urging you to play is going to make that
Speaker 5: much difference. I don't care who the president is. You
Speaker 5: know like I said I know why did it. We
Speaker 5: all know why he did it so why not bother
Speaker 5: with the Pac twelve. But I don't think that's going
Speaker 5: to change I think the Big Ten is still trying
Speaker 5: to figure out what the hell they're going to do.
Speaker 5: Are we're going to play on Thanksgiving or you play
Speaker 5: January 1st.
Speaker 4: You're playing dome stadiums. They still and that's where I
Speaker 4: think they are again in the air.
Speaker 10: One of the areas where I think they screwed up
Speaker 10: is that they made the decision we're not going to
Speaker 10: play in the fall. What is our plan. Let's not
Speaker 10: announce it till we know what our plan is not just.
Speaker 5: We'll figure something out down the road come up with
Speaker 5: a plan. All right. That's going to do it for
Speaker 5: today's podcast. Hope you guys enjoyed it. And thanks so
Speaker 5: much to Heath Klein for coming on. And we'll get
Speaker 5: out of here. We'll be back Tuesday. And please please
Speaker 5: be safe. This thing isn't over yet. As you know
Speaker 5: please be safe wherever you are and try to remember
Speaker 5: to wear a mask when you're in public. It's not
Speaker 5: that hard. You have to wear shoes don't you wear
Speaker 5: a mask.

Speaker 10: columnist for The Gainesville Sun. I am deep. I am
