We never forget that it's your money and 0:00:36.493 --> 0:00:44.562 ABC fine wine and spirits always be celebrating. This is 0:00:44.563 --> 0:00:49.843 the duly noted podcast. Everything with your host. 0:00:54.003 --> 0:00:59.813 Okay. Welcome to another edition of the duly noted podcast. 0:00:59.813 --> 0:01:03.113 We're not far away from where you go to a week. 0:01:03.123 --> 0:01:06.413 That'll be after the first game and of course then 0:01:06.443 --> 0:01:09.623 we'll do a kind of a wrap up of the 0:01:09.623 --> 0:01:11.833 things that happen including the Florida game and then a 0:01:12.173 --> 0:01:17.363 look ahead on Thursdays so it'll be Tuesday Thursday. So anyway. 0:01:17.363 --> 0:01:19.763 But right now I know everybody I got a lot 0:01:19.763 --> 0:01:22.103 of really nice e-mails from people that were really happy 0:01:22.103 --> 0:01:25.803 to see the podcast back and text messages as well. 0:01:25.883 --> 0:01:28.853 You may sense a little bit of excitement in my 0:01:28.853 --> 0:01:31.703 voice and a lot of it has to do with 0:01:31.703 --> 0:01:35.783 the fact that TV Times were announced for several of 0:01:35.783 --> 0:01:42.523 Florida's games and it did feel like again another step forward. 0:01:43.373 --> 0:01:45.993 I it could all blow up. We don't know. I 0:01:45.993 --> 0:01:48.173 mean I'm not going to sit here and say we're 0:01:48.313 --> 0:01:51.473 there's definitely gonna be football September 26. I think there 0:01:51.473 --> 0:01:55.523 will be there probably will be but we don't know 0:01:55.523 --> 0:01:59.033 what's going to happen. I mean shoot. Anything can happen. 0:01:59.123 --> 0:02:01.193 So I'm not going to get too excited but there 0:02:01.193 --> 0:02:05.183 is excitement in my voice. And again we're not going 0:02:05.183 --> 0:02:07.493 to go to the opening game as far as I 0:02:07.493 --> 0:02:09.683 know where we're at at least the mode is that 0:02:09.683 --> 0:02:13.073 we're not going to go. It makes no sense for 0:02:13.073 --> 0:02:15.623 Robbie Knight to go all the way to Oxford and 0:02:15.623 --> 0:02:17.993 watch a zoom call and then draw and then fly 0:02:17.993 --> 0:02:19.923 back or drive back. 0:02:19.972 --> 0:02:24.413 I don't know if we'd fly anyway. So but I'm 0:02:24.413 --> 0:02:27.503 still happy that it's a new game and nobody can 0:02:27.502 --> 0:02:30.923 complain because you get up in the morning you watch 0:02:30.923 --> 0:02:32.813 that game and then there are other games after and 0:02:32.813 --> 0:02:35.243 there are games going on. In fact Kentucky Auburn which 0:02:35.243 --> 0:02:37.433 is a game I'm interested in I can now just 0:02:37.433 --> 0:02:41.623 sit in my office and watch Florida play Ole Miss 0:02:41.632 --> 0:02:44.322 with the sound on it and pay attention to it. 0:02:44.363 --> 0:02:46.732 But you know Kentucky Auburn game will be off in 0:02:46.733 --> 0:02:49.142 the peripheral. I can put that on the other TV. 0:02:49.403 --> 0:02:55.133 It excites me. Hopefully we get we get there it's 0:02:55.132 --> 0:02:56.743 day by day step by step. 0:02:56.752 --> 0:03:00.293 But for those of you who don't know the analysis 0:03:00.292 --> 0:03:03.742 a little while ago before I felt I started taping 0:03:03.743 --> 0:03:06.593 this that Florida's first two games will be new in 0:03:06.593 --> 0:03:11.752 games against Ole Miss Of course there and against South 0:03:11.752 --> 0:03:14.573 Carolina here a little bit later in the show heat. 0:03:14.583 --> 0:03:16.972 Kline is going join us. You guys know Heath. He's 0:03:16.972 --> 0:03:21.893 been he was around here forever doing radio and now 0:03:21.893 --> 0:03:24.522 up in South Carolina in Columbia doing radio up there 0:03:24.532 --> 0:03:26.722 so we'll have him on the show to talk a 0:03:26.722 --> 0:03:30.052 little about about South Carolina. Also they announce the LSU 0:03:30.053 --> 0:03:33.833 game for three thirty but it's an ESPN game so 0:03:33.833 --> 0:03:35.103 it's kind of funny. 0:03:35.183 --> 0:03:38.243 I wonder if this has anything to do with it 0:03:38.243 --> 0:03:42.713 being an ESPN game instead of a CBS game with 0:03:42.713 --> 0:03:46.123 the fact that LSU continues to get gutted every day 0:03:46.123 --> 0:03:47.763 on almost a daily basis. 0:03:47.763 --> 0:03:50.423 And I'll get to that later or if it's just 0:03:50.423 --> 0:03:52.193 that they have LSU on for a lot of other 0:03:52.193 --> 0:03:56.903 games they announced some of the CBS games the first 0:03:56.903 --> 0:03:59.743 day it'll be CBS will be Mississippi State at LSU 0:03:59.763 --> 0:04:03.773 there's there's one example village you playing so we'll go 0:04:03.773 --> 0:04:07.223 right into that now. I'm really this is going to 0:04:07.223 --> 0:04:10.793 be a surreal experience. My wife and I were talking 0:04:12.023 --> 0:04:15.203 we've only seen one Florida football game together in our 0:04:15.203 --> 0:04:19.343 lives in our lives gay and that was the Kentucky 0:04:19.343 --> 0:04:23.093 game the year of Tebow concussion game. I did not 0:04:23.093 --> 0:04:24.503 go to that. I don't want to get into the 0:04:24.503 --> 0:04:28.813 reasons for it. It all worked out for the better. 0:04:28.913 --> 0:04:32.423 One day I'll tell you the whole story but not 0:04:32.423 --> 0:04:35.243 right to tell a story right now. But anyway I 0:04:35.243 --> 0:04:36.983 didn't go to that game. 0:04:37.163 --> 0:04:39.203 That was the only game I have missed. 0:04:40.493 --> 0:04:43.972 Florida game since 94 four because ninety four is when 0:04:43.973 --> 0:04:47.223 I quit being columnist and started writing again I could 0:04:47.243 --> 0:04:51.323 being sports editor and started writing again. So my wife 0:04:51.323 --> 0:04:53.763 and I have not been to a game a game 0:04:53.813 --> 0:04:55.103 a watched a game either now. 0:04:55.163 --> 0:04:57.732 So we're gonna watch them all this year or maybe all. 0:04:58.193 --> 0:04:59.693 I don't know if we're gonna go to the home games. 0:04:59.693 --> 0:05:02.602 I think we will. I mean we're leaning towards it 0:05:02.603 --> 0:05:05.723 we're still going to be doing only zone calls but 0:05:06.163 --> 0:05:09.413 I do feel like like you don't want to spend 0:05:09.413 --> 0:05:11.183 a bunch of money to go and maybe get one 0:05:11.183 --> 0:05:14.152 paragraph of atmosphere you know. I mean the growth is 0:05:14.152 --> 0:05:17.933 not going to be open in all that stuff with 0:05:18.443 --> 0:05:19.823 a home game you can. 0:05:19.823 --> 0:05:24.593 It's worth going and getting some atmosphere and you know 0:05:25.022 --> 0:05:28.313 the social distancing and it will be there and it's 0:05:28.313 --> 0:05:29.843 not like we're going to be exposed that much but 0:05:29.843 --> 0:05:33.472 I'm not 100 percent sure just because I still have 0:05:33.533 --> 0:05:35.702 I'm still leery. You know you make it to 26 0:05:35.813 --> 0:05:38.753 weeks of this crap and you don't want to blow 0:05:38.753 --> 0:05:44.543 it now. So anyway we do know that just just 0:05:44.543 --> 0:05:48.953 quickly some of the other games tick saying them Alabama 0:05:48.952 --> 0:05:50.933 will be on the second week of the season 4 0:05:50.962 --> 0:05:54.292 on CBS George Alabama. It will be an eight o'clock 0:05:54.293 --> 0:06:00.022 game on October 17th. That sounds like a lot of fun. 0:06:00.173 --> 0:06:04.073 I'm looking forward to that. LSU Auburn on the thirty 0:06:04.073 --> 0:06:06.142 first in of course Florida George will be 330 it's 0:06:06.152 --> 0:06:11.283 it's in the contract they there's no big announcement there. 0:06:11.303 --> 0:06:15.343 Alabama LSU will be a six o'clock game on December 14. 0:06:15.353 --> 0:06:17.693 We were I did see a great tweet from Peter 0:06:17.693 --> 0:06:25.533 Byrnes talking about how the day that LSU and know 0:06:25.943 --> 0:06:30.473 that I'm sorry that f that I'm sorry that Alabama 0:06:30.503 --> 0:06:36.433 LSU game is the day of the third round of 0:06:36.433 --> 0:06:40.573 the Masters it's also my birthday November 14th. Thank you 0:06:40.573 --> 0:06:42.913 very much. All guests are welcome. 0:06:43.152 --> 0:06:50.332 And can you imagine that moment when CBS goes and 0:06:50.332 --> 0:06:53.633 that's that's it for the for the third round of 0:06:53.633 --> 0:06:58.253 the Masters Bryce into shambo and Tiger Woods tied for 0:06:58.253 --> 0:06:59.993 a lead that ought to be a great day tomorrow 0:07:00.233 --> 0:07:02.783 and now we take you to LSU and Alabama I 0:07:02.783 --> 0:07:07.253 mean this is surreal to think about that and exciting. 0:07:07.343 --> 0:07:09.172 Now I don't know we're going to see it but 0:07:09.293 --> 0:07:12.653 it's still going to be exciting. So that's where we 0:07:12.653 --> 0:07:16.523 are with the times of games and the funny thing 0:07:16.523 --> 0:07:18.893 is I had written down I was doing the notes 0:07:18.893 --> 0:07:21.533 for the podcast today and I had written down when 0:07:21.533 --> 0:07:24.503 are we going to get the TV schedules. 0:07:24.503 --> 0:07:28.443 And then I then I wrote next to it. Does 0:07:28.483 --> 0:07:33.293 it really matter because look guys none of us. Well 0:07:33.293 --> 0:07:36.112 not now I won't say none of us. Most of 0:07:36.113 --> 0:07:40.763 us are not going to any football games this year. 0:07:40.973 --> 0:07:43.433 We may go to some home games. You may go 0:07:43.433 --> 0:07:47.302 to some home games. Depends on whether you're where your 0:07:47.303 --> 0:07:51.173 priorities are in terms of ticket numbers and everything like 0:07:51.173 --> 0:07:53.503 that whether you can get a ticket for the game. 0:07:53.513 --> 0:07:56.593 I'll get into that in just a minute to but 0:07:56.593 --> 0:07:58.903 for the most part we're gonna be sitting home watching football. 0:07:58.903 --> 0:08:01.603 It does matter what time they're playing it okay. And 0:08:01.603 --> 0:08:04.792 they can announce it on Friday. You're not having to 0:08:04.793 --> 0:08:08.093 make plans to flaunt to drive up to Gainesville. Stay 0:08:08.093 --> 0:08:11.933 in a hotel or go on the road only 500 0:08:12.053 --> 0:08:17.313 tickets available for the school to distribute for 4 road games. 0:08:17.333 --> 0:08:21.463 You're not going to Oxford gay you know so they 0:08:21.463 --> 0:08:23.783 get it. They could have waited till Friday to announce 0:08:23.783 --> 0:08:25.893 outside game would've gone right now. 0:08:26.603 --> 0:08:31.163 I'll set the alarm for 11:00. I'll sleep until 11:00. 0:08:31.163 --> 0:08:36.433 Get up have some breakfast and watch the Gators play 0:08:36.433 --> 0:08:39.013 Ole Miss to open the season. 0:08:39.463 --> 0:08:41.803 Now I will say this this this this discuss this 0:08:41.803 --> 0:08:43.783 real quickly and then we'll take our first break which 0:08:43.783 --> 0:08:45.073 we always take around this time. 0:08:47.633 --> 0:08:49.823 The fact that the game is a new game means 0:08:49.823 --> 0:08:52.763 it's eleven o'clock game out there. That's never good when 0:08:52.763 --> 0:08:56.543 you're the visiting team. But a lot of coaches love it. 0:08:56.543 --> 0:09:00.403 They love to get that game done. Get back. You 0:09:00.403 --> 0:09:04.563 know if that that plane will pull out of Oxford 0:09:04.563 --> 0:09:10.723 Mississippi Eastern time around I don't know five thirty six o'clock. 0:09:11.383 --> 0:09:14.243 You may be home in time to see the eight 0:09:14.243 --> 0:09:16.093 o'clock games or nine o'clock games anyway. 0:09:18.043 --> 0:09:19.683 So in that part of it is good. 0:09:19.693 --> 0:09:23.083 But you always worry about a team going on the 0:09:23.083 --> 0:09:26.963 road for an eleven o'clock game even though you're about 0:09:26.973 --> 0:09:31.333 your your alarm clock its internal alarm clock is still 0:09:31.333 --> 0:09:35.633 set for noon but still you have to get up 0:09:35.663 --> 0:09:37.703 a breakfast and it's got you got to make sure 0:09:37.703 --> 0:09:40.003 you hydrate and get everything done. 0:09:40.163 --> 0:09:44.453 And we're dealing with all this situation obviously and you're 0:09:44.453 --> 0:09:45.803 going to be in a hotel it's gonna make you 0:09:45.803 --> 0:09:48.593 a little nervous too so you get the nerves starting 0:09:48.593 --> 0:09:51.503 the season the nerves of staying in a hotel which 0:09:51.503 --> 0:09:53.183 usually you kind of get out of the way because 0:09:53.183 --> 0:09:54.863 you stay in a hotel for camp but they're not 0:09:54.863 --> 0:09:59.063 doing that this year and you know that I will 0:09:59.063 --> 0:10:01.513 say this that game is kind of ripe for an upset. 0:10:01.523 --> 0:10:03.503 Nobody knows what Lane Kiffin is going to throw at 0:10:03.503 --> 0:10:07.763 him but I think the Florida team is really good 0:10:08.293 --> 0:10:10.613 and we will be talking about that more as we 0:10:10.613 --> 0:10:12.463 go along. 0:10:12.653 --> 0:10:17.363 All the things we're hearing from and last night there 0:10:17.363 --> 0:10:19.732 was a zoom call with Todd Grantham a couple of 0:10:19.733 --> 0:10:23.383 defensive players which is great. Glad Florida's doing that. 0:10:23.993 --> 0:10:26.783 I did ask them a lot about that last week 0:10:26.813 --> 0:10:28.813 that I thought we needed to get to that point. 0:10:28.883 --> 0:10:33.713 People need to hear from the players. And so I 0:10:33.713 --> 0:10:34.593 thought it was great. 0:10:34.703 --> 0:10:38.183 But when you hear everybody who talks about this team 0:10:38.183 --> 0:10:40.793 they want this day in Mullin or are now Todd 0:10:40.793 --> 0:10:44.723 Grantham and I think Wednesday we get Brian Johnson as well. 0:10:44.783 --> 0:10:49.043 It's all positive positive positive. Now I've always said this 0:10:49.043 --> 0:10:50.843 is one of my many sayings I got to write 0:10:50.843 --> 0:10:53.423 these down in a book one day. One of my 0:10:53.423 --> 0:10:56.603 many sayings is the only news that can come out 0:10:56.603 --> 0:11:00.593 of pre-season camp is bad news. You're never gonna get 0:11:00.593 --> 0:11:02.833 good news because you don't know if it's true or not. 0:11:02.843 --> 0:11:06.473 We're not allowed out there. Nobody's allowed out there except 0:11:06.793 --> 0:11:10.483 you know the players and and the staff and the 0:11:10.493 --> 0:11:14.423 trainers and stuff. So for all we know Kyle Pitts 0:11:14.423 --> 0:11:17.393 has dropped every pass he's been thrown. They can say 0:11:17.393 --> 0:11:20.993 he's caught everything and he's making circus catches. We don't 0:11:20.993 --> 0:11:24.123 know that. We assume that they're telling us the truth. 0:11:24.323 --> 0:11:27.593 But I also wonder if coaches are a little more 0:11:28.783 --> 0:11:32.453 like I'm trying to think of the right word effusive 0:11:32.453 --> 0:11:37.223 in their praise because you don't want guys opting out 0:11:37.283 --> 0:11:40.373 and you don't want to you know remember the guy 0:11:40.373 --> 0:11:43.933 last year was a Blige who was a starter an 0:11:43.953 --> 0:11:47.483 offensive line and he quit as after the Georgia game right. 0:11:47.483 --> 0:11:51.093 He quit. And the reason he quit apparently was because 0:11:51.093 --> 0:11:53.493 he was tired of getting yelled at me hard to 0:11:53.493 --> 0:11:56.583 yell at guys man. I don't know if they're having 0:11:56.583 --> 0:11:58.953 to adjust their coaching style because also the guy goes 0:11:58.953 --> 0:12:03.003 That's it I'm opting out. I wonder how. So again 0:12:03.183 --> 0:12:05.253 I'm a a worry about what the coaches say and 0:12:05.253 --> 0:12:10.163 how good these guys are doing. We'll find out in 0:12:10.163 --> 0:12:14.723 a while. Right. If they start playing games we'll take 0:12:14.723 --> 0:12:16.453 a break.

Okay so now 0:14:26.933 --> 0:14:29.913 that we know some of the game times and we 0:14:29.913 --> 0:14:33.223 also know that Kansas and wall and Wake Forest and 0:14:33.333 --> 0:14:35.433 decided no fans at all. 0:14:35.523 --> 0:14:37.873 I wrote about this in my back nine. 0:14:38.193 --> 0:14:41.613 If you didn't see it I talked to Scott Stricklin 0:14:41.613 --> 0:14:45.123 on Monday about why Florida has not announced or ticket policy. 0:14:45.243 --> 0:14:49.983 And basically you know he said I don't want to 0:14:49.983 --> 0:14:54.213 have to walk something back. Said we we don't know 0:14:54.213 --> 0:14:58.563 we want to wait and see what happens with the 0:14:58.563 --> 0:15:00.933 students coming back for a few weeks. 0:15:00.963 --> 0:15:03.603 What happens with Labor Day a few days after Labor Day. 0:15:03.603 --> 0:15:05.183 Do we have a spike there. 0:15:05.193 --> 0:15:08.063 What happens when we watch the NFL Play. College football 0:15:08.063 --> 0:15:09.753 is cranking up. I mean I know there was a 0:15:09.753 --> 0:15:13.233 game on Saturday and I watched it believe me but 0:15:13.323 --> 0:15:16.473 college football's cranked up a little bit more. It's almost 0:15:16.473 --> 0:15:21.993 like a like an engine that you're the first time 0:15:21.993 --> 0:15:24.123 you turn it it doesn't do anything and the second 0:15:24.123 --> 0:15:26.973 time you turn a car. And then the third week 0:15:26.973 --> 0:15:28.683 it earned rent a room a room and then by 0:15:28.683 --> 0:15:31.893 the fourth week it's either. That's where we are with 0:15:31.893 --> 0:15:34.023 college football. They want to see what happens with those 0:15:34.023 --> 0:15:36.883 games and what happens in the aftermath of those games. 0:15:36.883 --> 0:15:41.383 Sure look they've got seventy five percent of the tickets 0:15:41.383 --> 0:15:43.753 that were sold season tickets were sold. People have not 0:15:43.753 --> 0:15:48.733 cashed in refunds or asked for it to be held 0:15:48.733 --> 0:15:50.743 for next year. They're saying we're at work. We're good 0:15:50.743 --> 0:15:53.623 with it. We'll wait and see like you. And that's 0:15:53.623 --> 0:15:56.023 where Florida is flying. Florida is doing the smart thing. 0:15:56.023 --> 0:15:58.243 I think the FCC has been the smart one. I 0:15:58.243 --> 0:16:01.993 think Florida's been even one of the smarter teams and 0:16:02.353 --> 0:16:04.393 I think they have a very smart HD and that's 0:16:04.393 --> 0:16:07.573 why they're saying oh wait wait. In a few weeks 0:16:07.573 --> 0:16:09.043 we'll let you know how many people we're going to 0:16:09.043 --> 0:16:12.283 let in there and I will tell you that a 0:16:12.283 --> 0:16:15.213 zero attendance is not off the board. 0:16:15.463 --> 0:16:21.173 If there is if it's bad enough Spike wise you 0:16:21.183 --> 0:16:26.333 know to predicate that I don't think it's it's off 0:16:26.333 --> 0:16:29.003 the board. I don't think that'll happen. I think if 0:16:29.003 --> 0:16:34.543 Florida feels like the FCC feels like things have gotten 0:16:34.543 --> 0:16:38.263 really bad again they will be more likely to cancel 0:16:38.263 --> 0:16:42.053 the season than to have no fans that's just my gut. 0:16:42.353 --> 0:16:45.623 But I mean we'll see what happens because we we're 0:16:45.623 --> 0:16:49.063 seeing it around the country and again not a. 0:16:49.133 --> 0:16:54.683 Not only that but the financial situations for everybody just 0:16:54.863 --> 0:16:57.203 continue to hear bet you hear bad news stories and 0:16:57.203 --> 0:16:59.003 this is part of the the issue that I think 0:16:59.003 --> 0:17:04.433 everybody is dealing with is Texas cut a bunch of 0:17:04.433 --> 0:17:07.223 people I think they had 40 people a laid off 0:17:07.223 --> 0:17:09.443 and 40 more vacant jobs are not going to fill 0:17:09.443 --> 0:17:11.933 and made everybody take a pay cut if they made 0:17:11.933 --> 0:17:15.743 more than 30000 Texas Tech cut a bunch of people 0:17:15.743 --> 0:17:18.893 we've already seen other schools cut a bunch of people 0:17:18.923 --> 0:17:22.643 I feel for man they didn't do anything wrong they 0:17:22.643 --> 0:17:26.123 just you know again this goes back to what I've 0:17:26.273 --> 0:17:31.792 talked about before the more money college athletic departments make 0:17:31.792 --> 0:17:35.393 the more they spend and sometimes there is there is 0:17:35.573 --> 0:17:37.433 definitely a lot of fat it's not that hard to 0:17:37.433 --> 0:17:39.713 cut but it's not that doesn't make it easier for 0:17:39.713 --> 0:17:43.283 the people who are being cut they now are part 0:17:43.283 --> 0:17:48.823 of the unemployment generation which we've just come out of 0:17:48.823 --> 0:17:51.913 nowhere and had to deal with. 0:17:51.973 --> 0:17:57.042 So we'll see what happens there. Interesting today right before 0:17:57.043 --> 0:18:01.853 I came in here to do this is that Donald 0:18:01.853 --> 0:18:05.993 Trump in the Big Ten talk today. And Trump is 0:18:06.773 --> 0:18:10.193 trying to get them to play trying to find a 0:18:10.193 --> 0:18:12.833 way for them to play. 0:18:13.523 --> 0:18:15.623 And you know we'll get more tests here we'll get 0:18:15.623 --> 0:18:20.093 rapid testing to all this stuff look And look I'm 0:18:20.093 --> 0:18:23.293 not going to say this is a right thing wrong thing. 0:18:23.333 --> 0:18:25.073 I don't want to get too political list but this 0:18:25.073 --> 0:18:29.133 is a political move. We all know it is he 0:18:29.133 --> 0:18:32.673 wants to win the state of Ohio. He's talking to 0:18:32.673 --> 0:18:36.393 the Pac 12 about this right. He went to California 0:18:36.513 --> 0:18:41.613 you know. So there is a reason behind this but 0:18:42.093 --> 0:18:44.913 I hope I hope it works from that aspect of 0:18:44.913 --> 0:18:48.243 it certainly that the Big Ten finally sees here their ways. 0:18:48.243 --> 0:18:52.953 But you know the Big Ten has screwed this up 0:18:53.073 --> 0:18:56.943 totally and then the story about maybe we'll start on Thanksgiving. 0:18:57.123 --> 0:18:59.133 Look no matter what they do unless they come and 0:18:59.133 --> 0:19:03.763 play with everybody else and I'm not saying it's right 0:19:03.763 --> 0:19:06.883 to play with everybody else. Please let me be clear 0:19:06.883 --> 0:19:09.282 about that. All I'm saying is the way they have 0:19:09.283 --> 0:19:13.003 handled it from a PR standpoint and from a lack 0:19:13.003 --> 0:19:16.633 of transparency standpoint when all of a sudden just now 0:19:16.633 --> 0:19:18.853 we found out what the vote was it was 11 0:19:18.853 --> 0:19:22.042 3 on the are not to play. OK. What are 0:19:22.043 --> 0:19:25.853 you going to said that that day. They have not 0:19:25.853 --> 0:19:28.403 done a very good job. I'm not saying they're wrong 0:19:28.403 --> 0:19:31.373 not to play. We'll find out. And I'm I'm sure 0:19:31.403 --> 0:19:35.693 even if the FCC and HCC and big will fly 0:19:35.693 --> 0:19:38.573 through the season with no problems that still doesn't mean 0:19:38.573 --> 0:19:41.663 necessarily they were wrong to cancel they had their reasons 0:19:41.753 --> 0:19:42.643 and that's fine. 0:19:44.583 --> 0:19:46.863 But they just have look come and. And of course 0:19:46.863 --> 0:19:48.813 the PAC clubs out there going No doo doo doo 0:19:48.813 --> 0:19:50.062 doo doo doo. 0:19:50.223 --> 0:19:54.773 Hey man these waves are going to be narrowly today. 0:19:56.463 --> 0:19:59.873 Are they playing football. 0:19:59.973 --> 0:20:02.613 I think the Pac twelve has been way more embarrassing 0:20:03.153 --> 0:20:06.603 than the Big Ten the Big Ten has been proactive 0:20:06.603 --> 0:20:09.933 and done a lot of things and and and thought 0:20:09.933 --> 0:20:13.143 they could maybe bully the other Congresses into not playing 0:20:13.503 --> 0:20:16.483 so they wouldn't look bad and didn't work the PAC 0:20:16.513 --> 0:20:18.783 well just like oh whatever they tell us to do 0:20:18.783 --> 0:20:24.043 we'll do theirs. It's silly out there. Look I get it. 0:20:24.173 --> 0:20:25.883 If I was in the Pac twelve I would probably 0:20:25.883 --> 0:20:29.213 make the same decision as many hot spots as they 0:20:29.213 --> 0:20:34.373 have I get it but you can't act like you're 0:20:34.373 --> 0:20:37.853 only going to do with the Big Ten says and 0:20:38.003 --> 0:20:40.493 there's now there's talk about them totally change in the 0:20:40.493 --> 0:20:43.303 conference changing all the dynamics Hey to get Larry Scott out. 0:20:43.313 --> 0:20:47.602 That's first thing but that's not my problem. Obviously I 0:20:47.603 --> 0:20:49.613 tell you what we'll take a break now. We'll bring 0:20:49.613 --> 0:20:53.123 in Heath Klein. We'll talk to him about the schedule 0:20:53.123 --> 0:20:55.133 that came out today and of course about that Florida 0:20:55.133 --> 0:20:57.923 South Carolina game the second week of the season. And 0:20:57.923 --> 0:21:00.473 then when we come back we'll get into a bunch 0:21:00.473 --> 0:21:02.883 of other stuff. I got tons of stuff to talk about. 0:21:02.963 --> 0:21:06.713 Some sad news as well when you return because it 0:21:06.713 --> 0:21:10.593 feels like I have sad news every week it really 0:21:10.593 --> 0:21:12.843 is kind of I don't know if this is cause 0:21:12.843 --> 0:21:16.353 I'm getting old or people I know are getting old 0:21:16.353 --> 0:21:19.082 but at any rate we'll be right back with more 0:21:19.083 --> 0:21:22.953 on the duly noted podcast gators more Stockholm the duly 0:21:22.953 --> 0:21:26.153 noted podcast is brought to you by Vice store credit union. 0:21:26.193 --> 0:21:29.613 We never forget that it's your money and ABC fine 0:21:29.613 --> 0:21:40.193 wine and spirits always be celebrating. All right. 0:21:40.723 --> 0:21:43.293 Welcome back to the duly noted podcast a great pleasure 0:21:43.293 --> 0:21:45.153 to be joined by my good friend Heath Klein of 0:21:45.153 --> 0:21:48.963 course you guys remember his dulcet tones from when he 0:21:48.963 --> 0:21:51.903 was doing radio around here in Gainesville and now up 0:21:51.903 --> 0:21:56.583 in Columbia. Well last week we talked to Richard Cross 0:21:56.583 --> 0:21:59.163 to talk about Ole Miss Florida's opening game this week 0:21:59.163 --> 0:22:01.623 we're going to talk to him about Florida second game 0:22:01.623 --> 0:22:03.603 and also all the stuff that's happened in the SCC 0:22:03.603 --> 0:22:06.843 we mentioned earlier times have been released for a lot 0:22:06.843 --> 0:22:09.393 of games and Heath I don't know whether to be 0:22:09.393 --> 0:22:12.332 excited or just kind of shove it over to the 0:22:12.333 --> 0:22:15.493 corner and say well we'll get to you later. 0:22:15.753 --> 0:22:17.913 I mean look everything that makes it a little bit 0:22:17.913 --> 0:22:20.613 more real I guess you get excited about it a 0:22:20.613 --> 0:22:22.503 bit but I mean we all kind of understand this 0:22:22.503 --> 0:22:25.473 thing pivot on a on a you know any piece 0:22:25.473 --> 0:22:27.303 of news any given moment. I mean like this week 0:22:27.303 --> 0:22:30.263 alone we know Auburn has 16 players according to Amazon 0:22:30.673 --> 0:22:34.263 that wouldn't be able to participate this week. So what 0:22:34.263 --> 0:22:36.693 would that look like. And we know that LSU at 0:22:36.693 --> 0:22:40.253 one point last week reportedly only had four offensive linemen available. 0:22:40.263 --> 0:22:44.373 So it all sounds awesome but then what's it going 0:22:44.373 --> 0:22:45.993 to be like when we get to the point where 0:22:46.263 --> 0:22:48.903 there's not enough time for that to resolve itself before 0:22:48.903 --> 0:22:51.303 a game supposed to get played. You know there's some 0:22:51.303 --> 0:22:53.763 time to move it back. But the SCC by putting 0:22:53.763 --> 0:22:56.463 it on the 26 they made the smart call and 0:22:56.463 --> 0:22:59.853 the idea that they'll let everybody else go first and 0:22:59.853 --> 0:23:02.523 if they have disastrous to the SCC could say well 0:23:02.523 --> 0:23:05.013 we we listen to science and we saw what happened 0:23:05.013 --> 0:23:07.833 and we got out after all. But at the same 0:23:07.833 --> 0:23:10.532 time they've given themselves very little room to move if 0:23:10.533 --> 0:23:14.102 there's problems. So now you see around the conference so 0:23:14.103 --> 0:23:16.053 these issues have popped up already and you do kind 0:23:16.053 --> 0:23:17.943 of say hey for all of us take what we 0:23:17.943 --> 0:23:19.853 can get enjoyed the best we can. 0:23:19.863 --> 0:23:21.812 But this is this is going to be a screwy 0:23:21.813 --> 0:23:24.783 season and we just have to accept that you know 0:23:25.473 --> 0:23:28.323 when time is at Tennessee South Carolina game slated for 0:23:28.323 --> 0:23:31.733 right now I don't have evidence from that game. Yeah 0:23:31.763 --> 0:23:35.013 they went 730 on that one. I'm sorry. I'll be 0:23:35.013 --> 0:23:38.612 able to sit back and watch that and obviously we're 0:23:38.613 --> 0:23:39.753 not going to go to Ole Miss. 0:23:39.753 --> 0:23:41.613 I mean we're not we're not out of our minds 0:23:42.513 --> 0:23:44.913 so that that's good if we get to that point 0:23:44.913 --> 0:23:48.933 but obviously for four it's pretty it's a pretty tough 0:23:48.963 --> 0:23:53.403 opening two games within the division for well most champ 0:23:53.403 --> 0:23:55.853 having to play Tennessee and then the mighty gators. 0:23:56.783 --> 0:23:59.343 Yeah and that you have game really will have a 0:23:59.343 --> 0:24:02.282 lot of emphasis on it because you look at it 0:24:02.283 --> 0:24:05.433 for South Carolina in a lot of ways the last 0:24:05.433 --> 0:24:09.093 two years are defined by the U.S. game last year 0:24:09.603 --> 0:24:13.052 after they had Florida down really felt like was a 0:24:13.053 --> 0:24:15.603 game they should have won and clearly got hosed was 0:24:15.593 --> 0:24:18.273 not a penalty that should have been called. That doesn't 0:24:18.273 --> 0:24:20.493 explain why the run was successful but still I mean 0:24:20.493 --> 0:24:23.863 the guy literally stood up before the FCC didn't call 0:24:23.893 --> 0:24:26.552 him and it winds up being a huge run for 0:24:26.593 --> 0:24:30.423 Florida they'd never seem to quite recover mentally from that. 0:24:30.423 --> 0:24:32.643 The rest of the year there were other factors too. 0:24:32.673 --> 0:24:34.802 Lenski got beaten up and he's trying to play the 0:24:35.073 --> 0:24:38.073 quarterback role as a true freshman the SCC which is 0:24:38.073 --> 0:24:40.923 hard enough already and there's a lot of reasons things 0:24:40.923 --> 0:24:43.593 went wrong. But yeah you think about how different much 0:24:43.593 --> 0:24:46.292 Jeff's season is perceived the year before if they finish 0:24:46.293 --> 0:24:49.893 the job against Florida and Philippe Franks resurrection game and 0:24:49.893 --> 0:24:53.313 then you think about last year and that they were 0:24:53.313 --> 0:24:56.042 really starting to make some headway there coming off the 0:24:56.043 --> 0:24:59.582 Georgia win and how that changed the mood that Florida 0:24:59.583 --> 0:25:02.873 game early on. That's what you feel like all right 0:25:02.883 --> 0:25:05.943 you aren't that far away from this team. You've competed 0:25:05.943 --> 0:25:07.533 with them in the fourth quarter each of the last 0:25:07.533 --> 0:25:10.653 two years. Can you actually find a way to pull 0:25:10.653 --> 0:25:14.133 one out against them because of the five teams on 0:25:14.133 --> 0:25:16.743 their schedule that are in the top 13. Well that's 0:25:16.743 --> 0:25:19.023 the one unless you count Georgia which again Georgia was 0:25:19.023 --> 0:25:21.403 such a weird situation last year it was very weird 0:25:22.353 --> 0:25:25.533 bizarre game that they won that game but for feeling 0:25:25.533 --> 0:25:27.963 like you're close to somebody in that group of five 0:25:27.963 --> 0:25:29.883 that are in the top 13 in the preseason poll 0:25:29.973 --> 0:25:33.153 Ford is clearly the one that you've shown you're closest 0:25:33.153 --> 0:25:35.983 to so can you do something with it finally. 0:25:36.243 --> 0:25:39.303 Obviously South Carolina got bad news with losing a running 0:25:39.303 --> 0:25:41.433 back obviously was a freshman women again. We don't know 0:25:41.433 --> 0:25:43.713 how good he would have been this year but they 0:25:43.713 --> 0:25:44.663 were excited about it. 0:25:44.693 --> 0:25:47.763 Pat Riley It was the most hype I'd heard on 0:25:47.763 --> 0:25:50.883 tailback since Lattimore and that includes to get a guy 0:25:50.883 --> 0:25:53.643 like Mike Davis who had a pretty nice career is 0:25:53.643 --> 0:25:55.923 in the NFL now and some other good players have 0:25:55.923 --> 0:25:59.893 come through. They really thought they had something with light 0:25:59.893 --> 0:26:02.643 and maybe they will but for this year he's out. 0:26:02.673 --> 0:26:05.253 And so that that was a big blow they've had 0:26:05.253 --> 0:26:08.582 almost no injuries they've had almost no covert issues but 0:26:08.753 --> 0:26:11.173 it's well must champ. So if you're going to have 0:26:11.173 --> 0:26:14.143 bad luck it's gonna be the most important possible spot 0:26:14.143 --> 0:26:15.213 you can have it. 0:26:15.493 --> 0:26:17.653 And that is he has when I call like to 0:26:17.653 --> 0:26:20.173 call Zook look which is he just can't seem to 0:26:20.173 --> 0:26:23.443 catch breaks a lot of times. And for example I'll 0:26:23.503 --> 0:26:26.293 give you the Florida game last year where they just 0:26:26.293 --> 0:26:29.023 beat Georgia and had a lot of momentum going and 0:26:29.053 --> 0:26:32.903 what do they get a hurricane that comes through dampens 0:26:32.903 --> 0:26:36.043 the crowd. They still play really well early and take 0:26:36.043 --> 0:26:38.653 that lead and and then not only on the on 0:26:38.953 --> 0:26:41.683 the one play that were for the touchdown by Damian 0:26:41.683 --> 0:26:44.113 Pierce but they also got a touchdown where there was 0:26:44.113 --> 0:26:48.543 a clear pick. Florida did Yep it was it was textbook. 0:26:48.563 --> 0:26:51.703 They've they show this to the referees and go Here's 0:26:51.703 --> 0:26:54.253 where you put the flag and they didn't. So let's look. 0:26:54.253 --> 0:26:56.973 Florida fans aren't complaining. They feel like they get jobs 0:26:57.013 --> 0:27:00.313 all the time too. But that was where you just 0:27:00.313 --> 0:27:02.743 feel like the most champ look came back to to 0:27:02.743 --> 0:27:05.863 beat him and you wonder with a guy like that 0:27:05.863 --> 0:27:10.653 if if he just star crossed all the time he 0:27:10.663 --> 0:27:13.053 doesn't seem to be the luckiest guy in the world. 0:27:13.083 --> 0:27:17.083 That's for sure. But having said that this year he 0:27:17.083 --> 0:27:19.483 has in a weird way had some luck because the 0:27:19.483 --> 0:27:22.003 reality is he was coming into a season where all 0:27:22.003 --> 0:27:24.883 the pressure was on him last year nobody went to 0:27:24.883 --> 0:27:26.353 the year thinking he was on the hot seat. He 0:27:26.353 --> 0:27:29.243 was on any national hot seat lists or anything like that. 0:27:29.473 --> 0:27:32.023 Then you lose your starting quarterback. You have some bad 0:27:32.023 --> 0:27:34.443 luck there but you get the win the knock at Ben. 0:27:34.463 --> 0:27:36.283 Well you have to beat the team those ranks that 0:27:36.343 --> 0:27:39.493 first year with Tennessee and that's Butch Jones so that 0:27:39.493 --> 0:27:42.153 almost doesn't count. So what do you get beat so big. 0:27:42.193 --> 0:27:46.363 Well you beat Georgia and so it looked like everything 0:27:46.363 --> 0:27:50.143 was still going to turn out okay. And then by 0:27:50.143 --> 0:27:52.663 the end of the year you had the new president 0:27:52.663 --> 0:27:57.313 talk publicly multiple times in ways that undercut much Champ's 0:27:57.403 --> 0:28:00.883 stability you had board members saying something else. It was 0:28:01.273 --> 0:28:03.733 it was really bad. I mean you had him in 0:28:03.733 --> 0:28:05.983 a position where he was put twisting in the wind 0:28:06.523 --> 0:28:08.893 which is just kind of unthinkable in the span of 0:28:08.893 --> 0:28:10.873 about four weeks that would for that Georgia game to 0:28:10.873 --> 0:28:13.363 that the only reason he's still there is because the 0:28:13.363 --> 0:28:16.753 buyout will now. I mean you know the reality Pat 0:28:16.783 --> 0:28:19.753 I mean every athletic department is taking a massive hit 0:28:19.753 --> 0:28:22.003 this year we know how big the haircut is we 0:28:22.003 --> 0:28:24.793 don't know yet but it's a huge one. Unless there's 0:28:24.793 --> 0:28:27.822 some booster with money burning a hole in his pocket 0:28:27.823 --> 0:28:31.033 to the tune of that 14 million dollars they can't 0:28:31.033 --> 0:28:33.553 get rid of Will Muschamp this year. Not to mention 0:28:33.583 --> 0:28:36.612 what it would say about just the overall standards of 0:28:36.613 --> 0:28:39.013 your university priorities if somebody is willing to spend eight 0:28:39.373 --> 0:28:43.003 plus figures to get rid of a football coach. So 0:28:43.333 --> 0:28:46.123 he at least for this year there's gonna be some 0:28:46.123 --> 0:28:50.053 hothead fans but for real meaningful pressure he's had it 0:28:50.053 --> 0:28:52.873 taken off of him in a way that before it 0:28:52.993 --> 0:28:55.063 could have been possible. So I don't think that's how 0:28:55.063 --> 0:28:57.363 you want to get there by any stretch of the imagination. 0:28:57.613 --> 0:28:59.773 But the idea of a you know you lose that 0:28:59.773 --> 0:29:01.813 Tennessee game and let's start talking about who's going to 0:29:01.813 --> 0:29:05.863 replace you. That kind of thing probably has eased and 0:29:05.863 --> 0:29:08.173 that's pretty important for him right now because it was 0:29:08.173 --> 0:29:10.633 setting up exactly like that point you're in Florida where 0:29:11.143 --> 0:29:14.643 everything just was already going to the year with. OK 0:29:15.043 --> 0:29:17.413 when are we going to have the moment where this 0:29:17.413 --> 0:29:19.153 is over. You know what's going to happen to be 0:29:19.153 --> 0:29:21.493 the final moment. Oh it's not the Missouri game. 0:29:21.553 --> 0:29:24.133 How is it not the Missouri game they lost 42 0:29:24.133 --> 0:29:26.563 to 13 and they gave up like five yards. How 0:29:26.563 --> 0:29:29.293 did they do that. It's still is. OK. No it's 0:29:29.293 --> 0:29:29.733 not that. 0:29:29.743 --> 0:29:32.453 I guess it's the Georgia. We won the Georgia game. 0:29:32.513 --> 0:29:35.053 Well OK it's the South Carolina. Well they can't lose 0:29:35.053 --> 0:29:37.513 the South Carolina game. Oh no way to spur your 0:29:37.513 --> 0:29:40.633 team plus two kicks. Well sure they did. Yeah. And 0:29:40.633 --> 0:29:43.123 finally that's the end of must GAAP that whole bizarre 0:29:43.123 --> 0:29:46.453 sequence of events there. It felt like we were headed 0:29:46.453 --> 0:29:49.563 for that exact same thing in 2020 in South Carolina instead. 0:29:50.203 --> 0:29:52.053 It's probably not going to be much of a story. 0:29:52.063 --> 0:29:54.973 And for him that is like you know I think 0:29:54.973 --> 0:29:57.073 you would have to get as a head football coach 0:29:57.073 --> 0:29:59.023 you would have to get caught in a crack den 0:29:59.293 --> 0:30:02.053 to get fired this year. I mean when you see 0:30:02.053 --> 0:30:05.533 Texas and Texas Tech both laid off numerous employees in 0:30:05.533 --> 0:30:10.903 the last two days pay cuts all around buyouts are uncommon. 0:30:10.933 --> 0:30:13.243 You know you'd have to have a very small buyout 0:30:13.273 --> 0:30:15.973 I think to get fired. And I agree with you 0:30:15.973 --> 0:30:18.043 on that with well I think no matter what happens 0:30:18.043 --> 0:30:22.153 it again I think everybody every coach should be judged 0:30:22.993 --> 0:30:26.593 basically on the good things they do this year not 0:30:26.593 --> 0:30:28.903 the bad things. In other words if you if you 0:30:28.903 --> 0:30:31.183 take a stand for social justice and you keep your 0:30:31.183 --> 0:30:34.303 team with you and you you get them you you 0:30:34.303 --> 0:30:37.343 march like like he did and like Dan Mullen did. 0:30:37.483 --> 0:30:40.303 If you mean is the coveted thing really well and 0:30:40.303 --> 0:30:42.643 you handle things very well and you get your guys 0:30:42.643 --> 0:30:45.013 ready to play and you they may not win games. 0:30:45.043 --> 0:30:47.983 I'm just not sure there's a reason to fire anybody 0:30:48.673 --> 0:30:53.163 that has a significant buyout anywhere this year. 0:30:53.233 --> 0:30:55.423 The only reason I would think he could would be 0:30:55.423 --> 0:30:58.093 if you had some coach that you knew you could 0:30:58.093 --> 0:31:01.753 hire that you were sure you could hire and he 0:31:01.753 --> 0:31:03.883 was just so clearly an upgrade that you were just 0:31:03.883 --> 0:31:06.253 determined to go do it. So yeah I don't think 0:31:06.253 --> 0:31:08.383 Bob Stoops to sit around saying that I'd love to 0:31:08.383 --> 0:31:11.123 be coach South Carolina but if somehow he let it 0:31:11.123 --> 0:31:12.893 be known he would take the job well then maybe 0:31:12.893 --> 0:31:15.443 you view it differently than if you're talking about going 0:31:15.443 --> 0:31:17.903 out and try to hire Billy Napier from Louisiana for 0:31:17.903 --> 0:31:20.573 example or something like that. Well that's about the only 0:31:20.573 --> 0:31:22.823 scenario it is if you either have like you say 0:31:22.853 --> 0:31:26.153 just a total disaster you've lost the locker room everything 0:31:26.153 --> 0:31:30.443 is chaos or if you have that that unique super 0:31:30.443 --> 0:31:33.713 coach that is perfect for what you're looking for and 0:31:33.713 --> 0:31:35.603 I mean that's part of why last year they couldn't 0:31:35.603 --> 0:31:37.883 make the move the money was a huge part. But 0:31:38.303 --> 0:31:40.603 I mean look we saw an offensive line coach get 0:31:40.613 --> 0:31:43.023 an S.E.C. head coaching job. We saw Eli drink with 0:31:43.033 --> 0:31:47.243 soccer one year with another guys players get a four 0:31:47.243 --> 0:31:50.153 million dollar deal from Missouri. I mean that was just 0:31:50.153 --> 0:31:54.413 was not high quality coaching depth to work with last 0:31:54.413 --> 0:31:56.993 year to make hires. Arizona did not fire someone. Same 0:31:56.993 --> 0:32:00.503 reason they could find anybody they wanted. So yeah unless 0:32:00.503 --> 0:32:03.503 you've got that guy you're just in love with. It's 0:32:03.503 --> 0:32:05.033 just hard to see what the point would be if 0:32:05.033 --> 0:32:07.223 making a coaching change for most people this year. 0:32:07.443 --> 0:32:09.173 Yeah. And again this goes back to that part of 0:32:09.503 --> 0:32:12.503 the economic model that is college football the more money 0:32:12.503 --> 0:32:16.673 they get the more they spend. Carol quickly because I 0:32:16.673 --> 0:32:18.773 have one other question for you too. But but Heath 0:32:19.433 --> 0:32:21.443 what do you think of this football team this year. 0:32:21.443 --> 0:32:23.453 How do you think it's going to. I mean I 0:32:23.453 --> 0:32:25.703 think they're over under was like four and a half. 0:32:26.303 --> 0:32:27.183 I don't know. 0:32:27.653 --> 0:32:31.343 I don't if I go over on that the number 0:32:31.343 --> 0:32:32.483 I'd say was three and a half and I think 0:32:32.483 --> 0:32:35.603 it's perfect because the reality is look there's there's one 0:32:35.603 --> 0:32:38.513 game on the schedule they basically can't lose. Vanderbilt is 0:32:38.513 --> 0:32:42.413 a disaster this year. There's an outstanding chance they go 0:32:42.413 --> 0:32:45.313 in 10 and even in the spirit or leaves halfway 0:32:45.323 --> 0:32:48.533 year they still beat Vanderbilt. So I just I cannot 0:32:48.533 --> 0:32:51.563 imagine them losing to Vanderbilt at home. So you got 0:32:51.563 --> 0:32:54.683 one that you can't lose. You got five against teams 0:32:54.683 --> 0:32:56.423 in the top 13. You have been one of them 0:32:56.423 --> 0:33:00.203 as well as Georgia on the road against LSU. Texas 0:33:00.213 --> 0:33:03.743 CNN who you've not been able to make any headway with. 0:33:04.013 --> 0:33:06.773 You know Georgia I mean you just eat Auburn you've 0:33:06.773 --> 0:33:09.013 got games there that at least on paper you know 0:33:09.203 --> 0:33:11.633 maybe you could steal one maybe maybe have a weird 0:33:11.633 --> 0:33:15.533 situation where somebody is depleted and you take advantage. But 0:33:15.563 --> 0:33:17.603 on paper going into the year it's hard to say 0:33:18.103 --> 0:33:21.113 give you at most one of those games and that's it. 0:33:21.113 --> 0:33:23.693 And maybe none. So then you've got four other games 0:33:23.693 --> 0:33:26.303 that you basically have to be perfect in to get 0:33:26.303 --> 0:33:28.493 to five hundred and that includes a road trip to 0:33:28.493 --> 0:33:30.953 Kentucky and the final game of the year that's now 0:33:30.953 --> 0:33:33.323 in December and you know how Kentucky can be late 0:33:33.323 --> 0:33:35.203 this year. That could be a mighty chilly game. 0:33:35.383 --> 0:33:37.373 And a lot of money at times. Who knows by 0:33:37.373 --> 0:33:39.113 then what crowds are going to look like. I mean 0:33:39.113 --> 0:33:41.603 it could be that if you do have a home 0:33:41.603 --> 0:33:44.473 call home field advantage by then. 0:33:44.603 --> 0:33:45.923 Yes. So I mean you got you got a road 0:33:45.923 --> 0:33:47.903 trip to Ole Miss. Should get a Missouri home game 0:33:47.933 --> 0:33:50.453 that you know Missouri feels pretty winnable. I'd be surprised 0:33:50.453 --> 0:33:53.123 if they lost that one. But you know I could 0:33:53.123 --> 0:33:55.373 buy two an eight for this team if everything goes 0:33:55.373 --> 0:33:58.733 wrong and the games like Tennessee and Ole Miss and 0:33:58.733 --> 0:34:00.803 I could buy you know maybe five if they can 0:34:00.803 --> 0:34:03.383 go for one in the winnable games and then steal 0:34:03.383 --> 0:34:06.233 the one out of the others. But but when your 0:34:06.233 --> 0:34:09.023 high watermark is five hundred then it's hard to get 0:34:09.023 --> 0:34:12.143 super excited about the year and for them it's really 0:34:12.143 --> 0:34:15.863 more about can they just survive because the way the S.E.C. 0:34:15.863 --> 0:34:19.013 has set the schedule up three of their foremost winnable 0:34:19.013 --> 0:34:22.043 games are in their last four. So can you win 0:34:22.043 --> 0:34:24.623 the Tennessee game in particular is gigantic because if you 0:34:24.623 --> 0:34:27.593 don't then the only game that's not against what those 0:34:27.593 --> 0:34:30.473 top 13 teams is the ante in week three. So 0:34:30.473 --> 0:34:32.683 you're looking at probably being 1 in 5 2 and 0:34:32.692 --> 0:34:35.243 4 at best if you don't beat Tennessee start the 0:34:35.243 --> 0:34:38.093 season and then who knows where you are mentally by 0:34:38.093 --> 0:34:40.013 the time you get to Ole Miss of Missouri and 0:34:40.013 --> 0:34:43.313 Kentucky they're a little bit more winnable they're down the stretch. 0:34:43.313 --> 0:34:46.913 Before I let you go across the state I'm curious 0:34:46.913 --> 0:34:49.313 what your thought was and I always get cracked up 0:34:49.313 --> 0:34:52.073 on national NFL guys and national guys try to talk 0:34:52.073 --> 0:34:55.163 about college sports because they don't understand it but when 0:34:55.163 --> 0:34:58.523 the discussion about Dabo Sweeney go into the Jaguars and 0:34:58.523 --> 0:35:01.553 Trevon Lawrence I left I literally had a spit take 0:35:01.553 --> 0:35:05.243 when I heard that because that seemed a little silly 0:35:05.243 --> 0:35:09.713 to me put it this way Dabo does not feel 0:35:09.713 --> 0:35:12.803 in any way like he is someone who is cut 0:35:12.803 --> 0:35:15.503 out to be an NFL head coach who holds the 0:35:15.503 --> 0:35:17.663 jets was before my time Pat but I've heard the 0:35:17.663 --> 0:35:19.763 stories about how he had like a fight song he 0:35:19.763 --> 0:35:22.283 won the Jets saying in South and how it was 0:35:22.283 --> 0:35:26.033 just a disaster that's what that feels like Dabo in 0:35:26.033 --> 0:35:27.462 the NFL feels like that. 0:35:27.653 --> 0:35:31.073 The one thing though would be if you are Davao 0:35:31.613 --> 0:35:35.843 and for whatever reason you find yourself in a situation 0:35:35.843 --> 0:35:38.273 where something changes where the world is not totally to 0:35:38.273 --> 0:35:41.002 your liking and there is a scenario. Dan radical which 0:35:41.003 --> 0:35:44.123 they did there. Their name. His name is is very 0:35:44.123 --> 0:35:47.423 much in the mix for the FCC commissioner John. So 0:35:47.423 --> 0:35:52.192 let's just say hypothetically radical which leaves and somehow the 0:35:52.193 --> 0:35:54.533 new guy despite the fact that your only job is 0:35:54.533 --> 0:35:59.303 make Dabo Happy doesn't make Dabo happy. Maybe then you 0:35:59.303 --> 0:36:01.973 could decide you know what. I could go get a 0:36:01.973 --> 0:36:04.253 giant salary see if I could do the NFL thing 0:36:04.253 --> 0:36:07.672 with Trevor Lawrence and on top of that it's even 0:36:07.673 --> 0:36:10.713 easier to come back to take that Alabama job after 0:36:10.713 --> 0:36:13.533 Nick Saban leaves than it was to leave Clemson in 0:36:13.533 --> 0:36:16.173 the first place and go to Bama and even talk 0:36:16.173 --> 0:36:18.573 to Bama while you're at Clemson now would be mighty hard. 0:36:18.573 --> 0:36:21.123 I think it would almost disrespect what you had built 0:36:21.123 --> 0:36:24.723 there if you're Dabo but to possibly leave the Jaguars 0:36:24.723 --> 0:36:27.563 after two years you're literally following the slave and models 0:36:27.583 --> 0:36:31.953 so I think that's likely. I don't think that's likely 0:36:31.953 --> 0:36:34.263 at all but that's the one thing because remember people 0:36:34.263 --> 0:36:37.203 forget Roy Williams turned down the North Carolina job the 0:36:37.203 --> 0:36:39.393 first time that was offered. That's how they wound up 0:36:39.393 --> 0:36:41.732 with Bill Guthrie as the coach for three years and 0:36:41.733 --> 0:36:47.133 then three years later when they hired Dorsey it was 0:36:47.133 --> 0:36:49.893 because again. Right. Right. I'm sorry I screwed up. Guthrie 0:36:49.923 --> 0:36:51.633 got the job did Roy Williams was going to get 0:36:51.633 --> 0:36:53.723 it on the backside it gets rich. And it was 0:36:53.733 --> 0:36:56.623 it was dirty for three years because he turned it down. 0:36:56.733 --> 0:36:59.462 And when Roy Williams turned it down a flawed everybody 0:36:59.463 --> 0:37:02.283 because that wasn't supposed to happen. But he stayed of Kansas. 0:37:02.343 --> 0:37:04.172 And then after dawn he didn't work out three years 0:37:04.173 --> 0:37:07.293 later he takes the job in 2003. Why do you 0:37:07.293 --> 0:37:10.593 take it. Because Al Bowl had become the desert Kansas 0:37:11.073 --> 0:37:13.933 and somehow al bowl came in for Fresno State Rep. 0:37:13.953 --> 0:37:16.772 Roy Williams the wrong way and so three years later 0:37:16.773 --> 0:37:18.783 he is willing to bail when he wasn't three years earlier. 0:37:18.783 --> 0:37:22.203 So yeah you never know. Just Jeff sometimes and you 0:37:22.203 --> 0:37:24.993 know Pat I mean Spurrier part of wipes for your left. 0:37:24.993 --> 0:37:28.053 Was that the president it changed Lombardi wasn't there young 0:37:28.053 --> 0:37:30.873 was and some things have changed and so you never 0:37:30.873 --> 0:37:33.212 know if radical which is out that be the one 0:37:33.213 --> 0:37:35.853 thing I'd say maybe I'd buy it right now. Yeah. 0:37:36.033 --> 0:37:38.853 I'd be real surprised by the way I asked Spurrier 0:37:38.853 --> 0:37:40.523 about it today we were called. 0:37:40.533 --> 0:37:42.793 We were talking about some other things and asked him 0:37:42.793 --> 0:37:45.063 about that and he said he was talking about well 0:37:45.063 --> 0:37:47.073 you know in the day when I did it you 0:37:47.073 --> 0:37:49.263 could triple your salary. Course that was a dumb ass 0:37:49.263 --> 0:37:50.823 thing to do to leave for the NFL. I don't 0:37:50.823 --> 0:37:55.053 know what I was thinking sir because he's just priceless. 0:37:55.053 --> 0:37:57.403 You know that's why we love him so much. Hey. 0:37:57.523 --> 0:37:59.402 And that's why we love you he. Thank you so 0:37:59.403 --> 0:38:02.493 much for joining us. We'll be back more with more 0:38:02.493 --> 0:38:07.353 of the duly noted podcasts here at gator sports dot com. 0:38:16.243 --> 0:38:17.503 OK. Thanks to Heath Klein. 0:38:17.503 --> 0:38:21.133 We appreciate his time and one of my best friends. 0:38:22.093 --> 0:38:26.143 We worked together for so long we had so many 0:38:26.143 --> 0:38:30.793 great lively discussions. That was the great thing about it. 0:38:31.573 --> 0:38:34.673 So we do have football this week but I'm OK. 0:38:34.693 --> 0:38:36.733 I didn't you know I usually give you the odds 0:38:36.733 --> 0:38:38.763 and stuff on Spirit spreads on game and I don't 0:38:38.773 --> 0:38:41.403 worry about it right now. We'll get to that next week. 0:38:41.413 --> 0:38:42.393 I promise you. 0:38:42.523 --> 0:38:43.933 In fact I'm going to be on a little bit 0:38:43.933 --> 0:38:46.003 of a vacation next week but I already told my 0:38:46.003 --> 0:38:49.663 boss I'm coming in to do the podcast Tuesday put 0:38:49.663 --> 0:38:52.883 that in your pipe because we're not we're not stopping. 0:38:52.993 --> 0:38:55.663 The only way we stop doing the podcast is if 0:38:55.663 --> 0:38:59.443 they stop playing football. OK. We're going to keep doing 0:38:59.443 --> 0:39:02.803 it because I know a lot of people really enjoy 0:39:02.803 --> 0:39:04.843 it and the time on the treadmill goes by a 0:39:04.843 --> 0:39:06.993 little faster. Right. All right. 0:39:07.003 --> 0:39:14.813 So you know the thing that's happening with LSU is amazing. 0:39:14.853 --> 0:39:19.863 And I like I had them lower in my pre-season 0:39:19.863 --> 0:39:26.343 poll my AP poll than obviously they were they ended 0:39:26.343 --> 0:39:28.623 up I think they were six in both and I 0:39:28.623 --> 0:39:31.683 had him eight. Right now where would I put him. 0:39:32.913 --> 0:39:34.942 I don't know if I'd had him in the top 10. 0:39:35.183 --> 0:39:39.093 Ma Chase ops out Tyler Shelburne more of their best 0:39:39.093 --> 0:39:44.003 defensive player ops out and I oh I almost think 0:39:44.003 --> 0:39:46.733 like they're like look this is not going well we 0:39:46.733 --> 0:39:52.042 don't think we're gonna go we're gonna be any like 0:39:52.043 --> 0:39:55.553 we knew coming back that it wasn't gonna be the 0:39:55.553 --> 0:39:57.743 same as last year and we were have a target 0:39:57.743 --> 0:40:01.313 on our back but we just don't think we're gonna be. 0:40:01.433 --> 0:40:04.403 We could see like seven and three and we don't 0:40:04.463 --> 0:40:06.473 necessarily want to be part of it and don't want 0:40:06.473 --> 0:40:08.393 to take a chance and get hurt both those guys 0:40:08.393 --> 0:40:12.393 are first round picks DeMar Chase maybe a top five pick. 0:40:12.393 --> 0:40:14.843 Now I don't know what it does to his draft 0:40:14.843 --> 0:40:19.192 status as the NFL looks at him and says well 0:40:19.193 --> 0:40:21.772 you must do you love football this is a question 0:40:21.773 --> 0:40:25.402 the NFL guys are always trying to ascertain how much 0:40:25.403 --> 0:40:29.803 do you love football because you didn't love it enough 0:40:29.803 --> 0:40:34.623 to go play with your teammates for whatever reason and 0:40:34.623 --> 0:40:38.733 it's you know I understand it and you've got that right. 0:40:42.693 --> 0:40:45.663 So that's happened. You know another one that was kind 0:40:45.663 --> 0:40:48.873 of under the radar Eli Johnson the starting center at 0:40:48.873 --> 0:40:52.652 Ole Miss. I think he opted out and now he's 0:40:52.653 --> 0:40:56.163 going to transfer. I think when I read we see 0:40:56.163 --> 0:40:59.553 this all over the place guys and I don't think 0:40:59.583 --> 0:41:02.823 I think one reason it hasn't happened at Florida and 0:41:02.823 --> 0:41:05.963 it could still. Like I said any any day Nelson 0:41:06.033 --> 0:41:08.943 two guys could opt out. But I think one reason 0:41:08.943 --> 0:41:15.603 is that the juniors on this team are players who 0:41:17.373 --> 0:41:21.062 have a chance to do some special and be high 0:41:21.063 --> 0:41:24.123 draft picks but they're not guaranteed it. They kind of 0:41:24.123 --> 0:41:29.013 need to play another year and do something. And the 0:41:29.133 --> 0:41:34.923 the juniors on this team already decided to come back 0:41:35.223 --> 0:41:38.343 because they got the input from the NFL and the 0:41:38.343 --> 0:41:41.493 NFL input. Well obviously wouldn't Very good. So they said 0:41:41.493 --> 0:41:44.853 hey we're coming back. So I think that's one reason 0:41:45.363 --> 0:41:50.013 maybe why Florida hasn't hasn't had this situation. And of 0:41:50.013 --> 0:41:53.523 course I think Florida's handled things really well. And I 0:41:53.523 --> 0:41:55.983 think they've done things the right way and I think 0:41:56.103 --> 0:41:59.272 the players feel pretty safe now. We'll see going forward. 0:41:59.433 --> 0:42:01.073 Now the students are back. 0:42:03.383 --> 0:42:07.133 So we got that. I don't want to do I 0:42:07.133 --> 0:42:10.073 don't even need to get into this whole Jaguar thing. 0:42:10.143 --> 0:42:12.343 You know I know there's some Jaguar fans out there 0:42:12.343 --> 0:42:15.883 that listen to this podcast man. It is amazing what 0:42:15.883 --> 0:42:19.823 is going on. You guys all know the numbers. The 0:42:19.843 --> 0:42:23.193 stretch run they had first thought top five draft picks 0:42:23.203 --> 0:42:26.473 none I'm still with the team Leonard Fournette the latest 0:42:26.473 --> 0:42:31.443 to get released because they couldn't find a it couldn't 0:42:31.443 --> 0:42:34.353 find a team that would trade for him. That tells 0:42:34.353 --> 0:42:37.293 you a lot about his attitude. 0:42:38.603 --> 0:42:41.663 I've been a big believer in this that that team 0:42:41.663 --> 0:42:44.663 they had in 17 had too much success at a 0:42:44.663 --> 0:42:48.213 young age and let it all go to their heads. 0:42:48.323 --> 0:42:52.043 And I think that's where a leader whether that leader 0:42:52.043 --> 0:42:55.373 is your head coach or an assistant coach or one 0:42:55.373 --> 0:42:57.863 of the players on the team. I don't think they 0:42:57.863 --> 0:42:58.613 had that guy. 0:42:58.793 --> 0:43:02.273 And I think that's why it's all blown up and 0:43:02.273 --> 0:43:06.922 now you're sitting here looking at this situation where it's 0:43:07.013 --> 0:43:10.343 tank for Trevor. A lot of people feel like I 0:43:10.343 --> 0:43:12.123 don't know how they're going to win three or four games. 0:43:12.143 --> 0:43:16.453 I asked this question on the other day who was 0:43:16.523 --> 0:43:19.803 I asking too. I can't remember now but anyway. 0:43:19.873 --> 0:43:23.773 Oh Mike Rocco. I said Who. How many do you 0:43:23.773 --> 0:43:26.893 think that C.J. Henderson one more game as a freshman 0:43:27.223 --> 0:43:30.913 in college or as a. Will he win more games 0:43:30.943 --> 0:43:34.062 as a rookie in the NFL first game first year 0:43:34.643 --> 0:43:37.843 I think about 1 4 games as a freshman not 0:43:37.843 --> 0:43:39.993 a great weight great way to start. Coach got fired 0:43:41.383 --> 0:43:44.803 he could win four games maybe in the NFL and 0:43:44.803 --> 0:43:45.793 coach get fired. 0:43:46.253 --> 0:43:50.113 So I feel bad for C.J. in a way but 0:43:50.533 --> 0:43:52.853 he's I'm sure he's pretty happy. 0:43:53.923 --> 0:43:56.962 Anyway so this whole thing about David I mentioned but 0:43:56.953 --> 0:44:00.823 he's I I don't I still don't see any way 0:44:00.823 --> 0:44:06.053 that's happened in and the other thing is you can't 0:44:06.053 --> 0:44:09.193 guarantee that somehow that Gardner means she doesn't go off 0:44:09.193 --> 0:44:12.803 on a couple of games and you know teams win 0:44:12.803 --> 0:44:17.273 and lose in the NFL bad teams win games good 0:44:17.273 --> 0:44:21.473 teams lose games in the NFL this is a college 0:44:21.473 --> 0:44:23.663 football where teams go to 12 and no all the 0:44:23.663 --> 0:44:28.133 time or eleven and one even really good teams go 0:44:28.133 --> 0:44:33.413 13 and 3 and bad teams go four and twelve 0:44:33.503 --> 0:44:36.983 you know and that could happen and then all of 0:44:36.983 --> 0:44:39.963 a sudden somebody else goes through and all the jets 0:44:39.963 --> 0:44:42.723 go 3 and 13 and you don't have the first 0:44:42.723 --> 0:44:46.623 pick OK oh maybe you could Justin feels in course 0:44:46.623 --> 0:44:52.763 he hadn't played near although we'll see where that goes. 0:44:52.763 --> 0:44:55.093 What else did I want to talk about pre-season poll 0:44:55.093 --> 0:45:01.163 out for the American Athletic Conference. UCSF and Cincinnati basically 0:45:01.163 --> 0:45:05.283 almost a dead heat three points separating them. We are 0:45:05.283 --> 0:45:07.613 gonna do. I don't know if I'm even supposed to 0:45:07.613 --> 0:45:12.023 announce this but I'm gonna do it anyway. Jeanette which 0:45:12.023 --> 0:45:16.223 of course is our parent company. Now we're putting together 0:45:16.223 --> 0:45:18.533 our own FCC media day so we'll do a poll 0:45:18.533 --> 0:45:19.573 that'll come out soon. 0:45:19.943 --> 0:45:21.533 I'm sure the coaches will have a poll but we'll 0:45:21.533 --> 0:45:24.803 have our own poll to beat writers and an all 0:45:24.803 --> 0:45:27.203 FCC team and some other stuff. So be on the 0:45:27.203 --> 0:45:30.773 lookout for that in the next couple of weeks. 0:45:32.003 --> 0:45:33.893 All right. Let's get to three things. 0:45:34.943 --> 0:45:37.663 It's time for three things. 0:45:43.503 --> 0:45:46.922 Number one I talked about how it just feels like 0:45:47.903 --> 0:45:50.152 every week I'm on here talking about somebody that we've 0:45:50.153 --> 0:45:53.683 lost some of some time to somebody I knew sometimes 0:45:53.693 --> 0:45:57.503 is somebody I don't know no I didn't know Monday 0:45:57.503 --> 0:46:01.793 was a really bad day my my wife's brother Michael 0:46:02.393 --> 0:46:05.633 passed away he'd been he'd been ill for a while. 0:46:06.743 --> 0:46:08.573 I don't want to get into specifics but he just 0:46:09.983 --> 0:46:12.653 you know events in his body gave out. It was 0:46:12.653 --> 0:46:16.583 just done. We're all we're all in these little vessels 0:46:16.643 --> 0:46:19.863 you know that's what we are. These bodies are our vessels. 0:46:20.003 --> 0:46:22.703 And at some point they just say son that's all 0:46:22.703 --> 0:46:25.583 I got. It's all you get. And it was very 0:46:25.583 --> 0:46:27.893 sad for her very sad for me. He was a 0:46:27.893 --> 0:46:35.333 sweetheart of a man just a great guy. And it 0:46:35.333 --> 0:46:39.613 makes me very very very sad. It's been a hard 0:46:40.433 --> 0:46:44.303 obviously a very difficult week for my wife's family. But 0:46:45.623 --> 0:46:47.393 you know I spent so much time with the guy 0:46:47.503 --> 0:46:49.933 it's very hard for me too and very hard for 0:46:50.663 --> 0:46:53.543 to lose somebody that young is he was certainly way 0:46:53.543 --> 0:46:56.543 younger than me. So we're on that same day we 0:46:56.543 --> 0:47:00.803 lose John Thompson. And that was you know I guess 0:47:00.983 --> 0:47:03.083 my relation with John Thompson Ali I interviewed him a 0:47:03.083 --> 0:47:05.483 couple of times and I was telling this story the 0:47:05.483 --> 0:47:08.993 other day. I the first time I interviewed John Thompson 0:47:09.543 --> 0:47:16.393 I I was afraid I was afraid because he's so smart. 0:47:17.233 --> 0:47:20.053 I was afraid of asking a stupid question. And you 0:47:20.053 --> 0:47:25.663 know me I can ask a stupid question I was petrified. 0:47:25.703 --> 0:47:30.332 I've never been that scared interviewing somebody because I just 0:47:30.333 --> 0:47:33.333 didn't want ask the wrong question. And luckily I think 0:47:33.333 --> 0:47:36.543 I got do it without being corrected or being told 0:47:36.543 --> 0:47:39.183 that was a dumb question. Mostly the story was about 0:47:39.963 --> 0:47:42.483 his son who was coaching against Florida in the NCAA 0:47:42.663 --> 0:47:44.942 tournament and that was the year Florida course won the 0:47:45.363 --> 0:47:52.293 first national championship. But that's John Thompson. You know I 0:47:52.293 --> 0:47:54.723 don't know if he's on the Mount Rushmore of coaches 0:47:54.723 --> 0:47:58.803 in terms of just coaching but he's out on the 0:47:59.103 --> 0:48:04.143 Mount Rushmore of coaches who affected the game and affected 0:48:04.143 --> 0:48:07.652 their players and affect the people around him. There's no 0:48:07.653 --> 0:48:12.633 doubt he'd be on that. And of course Chadwick Bozeman 0:48:12.633 --> 0:48:17.043 was a another tough loss over the weekend. You know 0:48:17.133 --> 0:48:20.103 obviously I didn't know him but I'd forgotten how he 0:48:20.103 --> 0:48:25.853 played the linebacker and Draft Day which is a movie 0:48:25.853 --> 0:48:27.863 I like. I know I know what I've got on 0:48:27.983 --> 0:48:30.053 Rotten Tomatoes. I like that movie a lot. I thought 0:48:30.053 --> 0:48:33.223 it was pretty cool with Kevin Costner. He played that 0:48:33.233 --> 0:48:36.263 and of course he played Jackie Robinson 42 which is 0:48:36.503 --> 0:48:40.523 I watched it again last night. I welled up a 0:48:40.523 --> 0:48:44.543 little bit thinking about it. So tough tough week and 0:48:44.543 --> 0:48:50.283 it feels like I don't know life is not fair. 0:48:51.263 --> 0:48:53.833 Well you have to kind of deal with it because 0:48:53.833 --> 0:48:55.303 it's not going to be it's not going to get 0:48:55.303 --> 0:49:00.323 any more fair. You know it's just isn't the vessels 0:49:00.533 --> 0:49:05.843 wear out for one reason or another Chadwick Bozeman had 0:49:06.873 --> 0:49:09.693 colon cancer. Obviously you're that young you're not going to 0:49:09.693 --> 0:49:11.073 get a call and ask a B to check to 0:49:11.073 --> 0:49:14.013 see if you've got it. You know nobody would tell 0:49:14.013 --> 0:49:20.133 you you should so anyway on that lively positive note 0:49:20.173 --> 0:49:25.643 let's switch off in number two on three things. 0:49:27.853 --> 0:49:31.513 I really enjoy the golf this weekend that that finish 0:49:31.513 --> 0:49:35.413 was incredible with Dustin Johnson making that roller coaster putt 0:49:35.443 --> 0:49:39.073 and then John Rahm making one right behind him in 0:49:39.073 --> 0:49:40.963 the playoff hole. 0:49:40.993 --> 0:49:44.533 It sets up for a fun week end of golf 0:49:44.533 --> 0:49:47.683 because it doesn't start till Friday. The Tour Championship and 0:49:47.683 --> 0:49:50.023 I was on the roller coaster myself with Billy Billy 0:49:50.023 --> 0:49:52.513 Herschel who looked like he was in. Then he was 0:49:52.513 --> 0:49:55.993 out and it went back and forth in fact my 0:49:55.993 --> 0:49:58.453 daughters got me watching she wants me to watch all 0:49:58.453 --> 0:50:01.213 the Harry Potter movies with her and so I'm doing 0:50:01.213 --> 0:50:04.183 it because I love her and she was right about 0:50:04.183 --> 0:50:06.733 Breaking Bad. She's usually right about every movie she makes 0:50:06.733 --> 0:50:10.663 me watch Harry Potter were three deep. OK so far 0:50:11.173 --> 0:50:15.013 and I'm going to go with a I like the 0:50:15.013 --> 0:50:17.713 first one a lot. The second one was not good 0:50:17.713 --> 0:50:21.113 in my opinion the third one was pretty good. 0:50:21.193 --> 0:50:25.373 They are long they are long. 0:50:26.373 --> 0:50:30.422 So I think we got number four tonight. But she 0:50:30.423 --> 0:50:32.463 said Dad you can watch. You don't have to watch 0:50:32.463 --> 0:50:35.252 his golf. Come watch it. So I taped it so 0:50:35.253 --> 0:50:37.352 I watch it. And I wouldn't sure for sure until 0:50:37.353 --> 0:50:39.363 I came back to see a Billy Herschel didn't make 0:50:40.593 --> 0:50:44.213 the top 30 and he did barely skin of his teeth. 0:50:44.373 --> 0:50:47.153 Happy for him. I'm such a Billy Herschel fan. I 0:50:47.163 --> 0:50:52.883 cannot tell you obviously. Fact maybe when the tour championships over. 0:50:52.893 --> 0:50:54.692 Of course can't get him on that well because the U.S. 0:50:54.693 --> 0:50:57.513 Opens VA employee so I say we get him on 0:50:57.513 --> 0:51:00.453 the podcast. I'll still try. I'll shoot for it at 0:51:00.453 --> 0:51:04.883 some point. But just the greatest guy in the world. 0:51:05.073 --> 0:51:07.922 So I root hard for him unfortunately starts out with 0:51:07.923 --> 0:51:10.353 a 10 shot deficit to Dustin Johnson the way they 0:51:10.353 --> 0:51:15.213 set up that tour championship which I get. But because 0:51:15.213 --> 0:51:17.613 you don't want to play all year to get to 0:51:17.613 --> 0:51:20.943 that point and then you're all and that's the way 0:51:20.943 --> 0:51:21.693 it used to be. 0:51:21.783 --> 0:51:26.763 Now everybody's even but this is a great opportunity for 0:51:26.763 --> 0:51:30.593 ability because yeah you set your schedule you're in everything 0:51:30.593 --> 0:51:32.933 now a term you want to play and you're in 0:51:33.443 --> 0:51:36.513 terms champions you're in all the majors you're in. I 0:51:36.653 --> 0:51:40.193 might have already been qualified forum but that's good news 0:51:40.193 --> 0:51:42.083 for a for Billy. But it was a lot of 0:51:42.083 --> 0:51:43.433 fun to watch. 0:51:43.823 --> 0:51:47.693 And number three because I don't I can't do a 0:51:47.693 --> 0:51:49.853 tweet of the week on a sign because the sign 0:51:49.853 --> 0:51:52.792 is visual but I want to share this with you. 0:51:52.793 --> 0:51:54.473 And I know that you may have already heard about 0:51:54.473 --> 0:51:57.442 this because it's making the rounds all over Twitter. 0:51:57.443 --> 0:52:01.793 There is a road sign from the Department of Transportation 0:52:01.853 --> 0:52:05.573 in Mississippi and you'll see it on the highway and 0:52:05.573 --> 0:52:07.313 you look and you won't be hard for you to 0:52:07.313 --> 0:52:10.433 find it. But here's what it says. Like the Big 0:52:10.433 --> 0:52:16.533 Ten stay home and avoid gatherings. That's their warning to people. 0:52:17.213 --> 0:52:18.953 This is in Jackson Mississippi. 0:52:19.053 --> 0:52:25.623 Man was Cole brother Cole not accurate. 0:52:25.713 --> 0:52:28.473 We'll see. Maybe they don't stay home. Maybe they do 0:52:28.473 --> 0:52:32.223 decide to play we don't we don't know what's going 0:52:32.223 --> 0:52:35.672 to happen there. I don't personally I don't think the 0:52:35.683 --> 0:52:38.203 president urging you to play is going to make that 0:52:38.203 --> 0:52:43.783 much difference. I don't care who the president is. You 0:52:43.783 --> 0:52:46.693 know like I said I know why did it. We 0:52:46.693 --> 0:52:48.823 all know why he did it so why not bother 0:52:48.823 --> 0:52:52.863 with the Pac twelve. But I don't think that's going 0:52:52.863 --> 0:52:56.593 to change I think the Big Ten is still trying 0:52:56.593 --> 0:52:59.732 to figure out what the hell they're going to do. 0:52:59.893 --> 0:53:01.513 Are we're going to play on Thanksgiving or you play 0:53:01.513 --> 0:53:02.922 January 1st. 0:53:02.943 --> 0:53:06.583 You're playing dome stadiums. They still and that's where I 0:53:06.583 --> 0:53:08.953 think they are again in the air. 0:53:08.953 --> 0:53:10.633 One of the areas where I think they screwed up 0:53:11.023 --> 0:53:12.943 is that they made the decision we're not going to 0:53:12.943 --> 0:53:15.763 play in the fall. What is our plan. Let's not 0:53:15.763 --> 0:53:19.053 announce it till we know what our plan is not just. 0:53:19.053 --> 0:53:21.853 We'll figure something out down the road come up with 0:53:21.853 --> 0:53:25.273 a plan. All right. That's going to do it for 0:53:25.273 --> 0:53:29.863 today's podcast. Hope you guys enjoyed it. And thanks so 0:53:29.863 --> 0:53:32.953 much to Heath Klein for coming on. And we'll get 0:53:32.953 --> 0:53:38.233 out of here. We'll be back Tuesday. And please please 0:53:38.233 --> 0:53:40.753 be safe. This thing isn't over yet. As you know 0:53:41.233 --> 0:53:45.493 please be safe wherever you are and try to remember 0:53:45.493 --> 0:53:47.413 to wear a mask when you're in public. It's not 0:53:47.503 --> 0:53:50.533 that hard. You have to wear shoes don't you wear 0:53:50.533 --> 0:53:51.263 a mask. 0:53:51.273 --> 0:53:53.533 All right.
