1
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Now welcome in lake. I guess live. It is Sunday night,

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: January fifteenth, year of Our Lord, twenty twenty three. Very

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: wise our friends in the NFL to schedule what will

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: be the fastest moving game in the time slot right

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: before we go on air. Sure would have been a

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: shame midway through the fourth quarter Giants Vikings to see

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: a drastic dip in viewership because we had the audacity

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: to go on the air. We can work in harmony.

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: They and we. We are jam packed. We are high

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: a top a glowing downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It's approval rating season.

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: We did this last year. It was one of the

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: most popular things we did in the entire offseason. And

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: that is simply removing all the political theater. You know

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: they do this over on the political side of the fence,

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: but it's it's normally just foolishness. No, we have concrete data.

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: We have logic based reasoning behind our job approval ratings.

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: You could be a B minus, you could be a

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: C plus. I don't think we have any A pluses

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: we're doing on the particular show tonight, but you could

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: be who knows, Kirby Smart doing pretty well for himself,

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: he'll probably get an A plus. We will do approval

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: ratings and we will start with four head coaches tonight.

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: I've got mystery programs. Those are the ones that we really, frankly,

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: or at least I don't have the slightest clue as

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: to what to expect from them last year or this year.

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: And I've got I think four of them that I'm

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: going to circle for you tonight. If you can lead

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: me in the right direction on them, I would be

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: much appreciative. I don't really know Oklahoma State. What's happening

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: with Oklahoma State right now? Anyway, Portal Intel, we got Jesse,

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I think you wanted to tell me, or you did

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: tell me. Like ninety nine of the top one hundred

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: players in the portal have settled in, but we still

34
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: got some movement going on, and we've got some things

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: that we haven't spoken about on the show yet. So

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: if you've been living your life, I don't know, and

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: you haven't followed the day to day whims of the portal.

38
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Some programs have made some big moves and some more

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: moves could be coming. We still got a few days.

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's making moves. We expected them for a couple

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: of months. But here's the thing about Nick Saban. He

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: never tells anyone what he's gonna do. There is no

43
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: inside information to be gleaned, and so when it finally happens,

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: you kind of go had some good either guidance or

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: instinct on that one, because it's not always the case.

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Rome, Georgia, Queen City, Texas, Fort Collins, Colorado,

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: and wilkesbro North Carolina. I never know how to deal

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: with the kind of news we got out of Georgia

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: this morning. Horrible with it, and so I got the

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: news a little bit later than a lot of people did.

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: And for those who don't know what I'm talking about,

52
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Devin Willock and Chandler Lacroix. One was a football player

53
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: for the University of Georgia and one was working in

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: the recruiting department there. They just had the national championship

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: celebration yesterday, Happy Day, confetti all around, and then they

56
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: got killed in a car wreck last night. So obviously

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: I know a lot of PEO people inside that program,

58
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: and obviously they were just on the grandest stage the

59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: sport has to offer for the best of reasons, and

60
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: now today the program and two young people in particular

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: are on the stage in terms of national spotlight for

62
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: the worst of reasons. So all we can do is

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: offer support. All we can do is offer condolences. So

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: we send that from our end. I just what do

65
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: you really say? It's terrible, terrific. Just I mean, I

66
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: just saw Devin on the field what six nights ago

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: during postgame, like walked right past us for whatever reason.

68
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: I remember vividly seeing him. And now he's gone, and

69
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: Chandler Lacroix as well. So tough time for our friends

70
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: there in Athens, and some more than others because you've

71
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: also got family that are dealing with losing someone decades

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: and decades and decades before you should be talking about

73
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: losing someone. There's also no transitioned to get in a

74
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: show about far less important matters, So we'll just make

75
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: the transition as best we can. Job approval ratings for

76
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: your head coach. Just what we started talking about last January,

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: it really caught on, so I wanted to bring it

78
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: back and we're gonna go a little bit more in

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: depth and we're just look at your head coach. I'm

80
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: not necessarily doing this like the mood Tracker. I'm doing

81
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: it more from our vantage point. Pretend like we're real

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: clear politics over here and we're running real time up

83
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: to the second job approval metrics for your head coaches.

84
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: And I want to start in Austin, Texas, and I

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: want to start with Steve Sarkisian. And let me first say,

86
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm giving sarka B minus, much to the chagrin of

87
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: one Latia Carter out there, I'm gonna give sarka B minus.

88
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: Believe in things like I believe in teams in the

89
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: state of Texas, Texas since twenty ten. Producer Jesse Walks

90
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: in today, he says, you're not gonna believe this. He said,

91
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: I bet I will, And he said I got records

92
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: win totals from every Texas team since twenty ten. It

93
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: sounds a little something like this five eight nine eight

94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: six five five seven ten eight eight five eight, which

95
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: leads to the following question, what is Texas? There is

96
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: a school of thought out there that I don't particularly

97
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: believe in. But the school of thought nonetheless goes like this,

98
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: Maybe Texas just isn't a power program. Maybe Texas just

99
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: isn't a place where you should have high expectations. Maybe

100
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 1: history says Texas is a place that's not necessarily built

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: to win championships. They're not built to do what Georgia

102
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: is doing right now. It's just not in them. I

103
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: just I dismiss that. I don't believe that. I believe

104
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: what this little post it note says here. These numbers

105
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: are real. I can't deny these numbers. But I can

106
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: also look at these numbers and just say this is

107
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: crippling amounts of underachievement. That's all that is. You will

108
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: never convince me the University of Texas doesn't have the

109
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: resources to compete at the highest level, because I know

110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: what the resources are, and I know they have them.

111
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: So I dismiss that they just can't do it. Remember

112
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: the old adage around here, can't cannot and have not

113
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: two different things. Texas has not. It's not that they cannot.

114
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, how do I give sarka

115
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: B minus. Well, it's a healthy balance of two things.

116
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: It's a healthy balance of still not being totally sold

117
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: and overly impressed with the on field product, but being

118
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: willing to give in time. With the other side of

119
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: the seesaw and the other side of the seesaw. I

120
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: see seated over there a couple of top five recruiting classes.

121
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you some time to yell hold on.

122
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: Some of you may not know what I'm doing right now.

123
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm just so in tune with certain portions of our audience.

124
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: Friendly well all of them, but I'm in tune with

125
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: some portions of our audience to the degree that I know.

126
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: Any time I mentioned recruiting and Texas, there's like a

127
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: colin what would you say, probably like a seventeen to

128
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: twenty percent chunk of our audience. If they're listening on

129
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: their phone, if they're watching on YouTube, they just yell, well,

130
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: stars don't win championships. So I just have taken it

131
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: upon myself to give you time to yell at because

132
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: you're right, stars don't win championships. It's just a starting point.

133
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: Now that you've gotten that out of your system, you're done. Okay,

134
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: let me make my point here for just a second.

135
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: I know that, but I also know that they are

136
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: fundamental building blocks. Good football players are fundamental building blocks

137
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: do having a good football team. And for a while,

138
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: the problem at Texas was they were not recruiting at

139
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: an elite level. Some people would lie to you and

140
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: say Texas was always recruiting at an elite level. No,

141
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: they weren't. They may have been recruiting at a pretty

142
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: good level, not necessarily elite. I think stars classes, the

143
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: last two classes are some of the best that they

144
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: brought in because they're balanced. They've got some steak mixed

145
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: in with the cotton candy. It's not just a bunch

146
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: of perimeter skill guys, a lot of size, a lot

147
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: of beef on both lines of scrimmage. And with that,

148
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: we now at the B minus grade, with the B

149
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: minus job approval rating with SARK. We look forward and

150
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: we ask, are you going to be able to do

151
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: what none of the previous two or three staffs have

152
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: been able to do, and that has developed them Because

153
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: there has been talent on campus, nothing's happened to it

154
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: once it got there. That's why the NFL draft numbers

155
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: are an abomination right now. And yet I look at

156
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: what's happening out there right now, and I think expectations

157
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: should be high. You should not ever sacrifice expectations at

158
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: a place like Texas, And I think you're bringing in

159
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: the players needed. You know, we're going to talk about

160
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: a guy later in the show, Isaiah and Nayer, who

161
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: was a receiver who came in from Wyoming and got

162
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: hurt in fall camp. I have no idea what would

163
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: happen if that kid stayed healthy. All I know is

164
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: Texas didn't even have a thousand yard receiver this year,

165
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: and he may very well have been that and could

166
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: have been the difference in two or three games and

167
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: we could be talking about ten win Texas. They were

168
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: some close losses there, so it's not like there's a

169
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: long way to go. Like I I was looking earlier

170
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: at who was it Michigan State. You know, Michigan State

171
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: lost a bunch of games last year, and all but

172
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: one of their losses were by double digits. That's not Texas.

173
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: Texas's losses in most cases were very close, So I

174
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: don't think that they're just light years away from this thing.

175
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I got to give a

176
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: B minus because Sark did not inherit unempty cupboard. There

177
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: were players there. There are better players there now. They

178
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: certainly went from five and seven to eight and five,

179
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: so that's a year one to year two improvement. I'm

180
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: not nearly as down on Steve Sarkisian as a lot

181
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: of other folks are. I have not made my final

182
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: judgment on him, and I think that the Mike Norvella

183
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: protocol should be an effect here. You gave that guy

184
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: two years and two years only, well, you would have

185
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: sold him down the river. But look what happened to

186
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: Mike Norvell if you were willing to give him a

187
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: third year. All of a sudden, he just popped a

188
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: double digit win season on you, didn't he And everybody's

189
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: changing the tune on Mike Norvell, who I'm going to

190
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: talk about in a few minutes. So Mike Novella protocol

191
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: in effect in Austin, Texas. Next up, let's go to Oxford, Mississippi.

192
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen Lane Kiffin, and I want you to remember

193
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: before I give you my grade, this is not static.

194
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: We're not judging all coaches on the same scale. This

195
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: is not pro sports. We're judging you based on how

196
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: you're performing with the resources at your disposal against the

197
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: backdrop of what historically has been the norm for your program.

198
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: So at Ole, miss what has the norm been? The

199
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: norm has been seven wins, seven and a half wins

200
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: to a wins on average. That's where they've been. And

201
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: they've had a couple of really good years. But I'll

202
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: tell you what they just did. They have had their

203
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: first ever ten win regular season under Lane Kiffin. Did

204
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: you hear what I just said? First ever? They they've

205
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: done this in Mississippi for a while, they've played football

206
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: there for a while. First ever double digit went regular season.

207
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: They've done it some with bulls added in, but never

208
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: in the regular season. So we got that going for us.

209
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: If we're Lane Kiff and we got eighteen wins the

210
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: past two years, that's pretty good by old mess standards. Now,

211
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: they started really hot this past year and they fell

212
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: off a little bit. And I know that's the most

213
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: recent thing that you remember in your mind, but I

214
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: just want you to remember, well, I want to talk

215
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: to myself because I'm the one who sold him a

216
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: little bit short in the preseason. I thought they lost

217
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: a lot in the way of talent. Yeah sure, but

218
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: they also lost a lot in the way of what

219
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: I thought was integral members of their staff. I just

220
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: thought he was going to have a tough time replacing him.

221
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it was easy. For him. But

222
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if you look in twenty twenty one, they

223
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: led the SEC in total yards per game, leaned very

224
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: heavily on the pass, and then this year what they

225
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: do well they transformed their offensive approach to account for

226
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't have the quarterback in Matt

227
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: Corral that they had had the previous year, and all

228
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: they did was lead power five and rushing offense. And

229
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: you would have looked at him from a fifty thousand

230
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: foot perspective and said, doesn't look like they really dropped

231
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: off a whole lot. Well, I mean, that's a testament

232
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: to Lane Kiffin, like, if you're looking for reasons to

233
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: nitpick and downgrade the guy, you'll find him. And that's fine.

234
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: I'm kind of trying to be fair here. You don't

235
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: accidentally do that, is my point. And also, they've handled

236
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: the portal really well. Zach Evans is a guy that

237
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: they went and got out of the portal this last cycle.

238
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: I expect them to continue to do that. This is

239
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: a team, a program rather still trying to find its

240
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: way I think in the nil era. But at the

241
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: same time, let me tell you there's some talk behind

242
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: the scenes that Ole Miss is right at the forefront

243
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: of taking a more revolutionary and long term sustainable approach

244
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: to NIL. They're very serious about it. They've got some

245
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: really big brains in the room right now, and that's

246
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: all at the behest of the head Coach Lane Kiffin.

247
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: With all that in mind, I'm giving them a B plus.

248
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: And I teetered on a mine only because I look

249
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: at what Ole Miss has been historically. I look at

250
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: what he's done in the past two or three years,

251
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: and I've asked, is it reasonable for me to be

252
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: expecting a lot more than he's done. I don't think

253
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: it is, So I'm giving him a BEE plus. You know,

254
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: they go to Tulane in week two this fall, and

255
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: then they got Bama on the road in week four

256
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: this fall. I guess they could still start six and

257
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: oh again, it'll just be a lot taller a task. Okay,

258
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: let's head up to Happy Valley and let's talk about

259
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: the fighting Jesse's of Penn State, led by one James Franklin.

260
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: What kind of grade would you give James Franklin? What

261
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: kind of job approval rating would you give James Franklin?

262
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: Right now, this is yet another coach that's got a

263
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: little polarization about himself. You notice how there are just

264
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: some coaches around the country. Kiffen's one of them. James

265
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Franklin's absolutely one of them. They've never spent time in prison,

266
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, they've never broken into your shed out back.

267
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: But there are people out there who don't like James

268
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: Franklin personally. I think the hairstyle has a lot to

269
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: do with it. You know, we wake up every morning

270
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball, those of us in that community,

271
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: and so I don't want you to feel sorry for us.

272
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: I just want you to feel a little bit sorry

273
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:15,239
Speaker 1: for us. I'm giving James Franklin an a minus. Other

274
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: than making the playoff, which is pretty lofty. What is

275
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: he not accomplished? That's not a paper pop, that's just

276
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: it's like a paper wag. But let's paper why not,

277
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: let's go all the way over the cliff. Let's pay

278
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: per pop him. They won the Big Ten in twenty sixteen.

279
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: He's got a conference championship. They are He's had eleven

280
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: win seasons four times Jesse is that right? Four eleven

281
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: win seasons and his tenure there since twenty fourteen also

282
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: six of the last seven recruiting classes have been in

283
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: the top fifteen. They just signed Drew Aller, who pretty

284
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: much the entire world expects to be the best quarterback

285
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: they've had there. And now we are coming off the

286
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: decade of dominance that was Seawan Clifford in State College, Pennsylvania.

287
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: The only thing they're missing is punching their ticket to

288
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: the playoff. That's it. You know what they are. They

289
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: are Triple H at Madison Square Garden in nineteen ninety

290
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: eight against the Rock for the Intercontinental Championship. And I

291
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: think we all remember how that ended. Triple H gets

292
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: the powder in the eyes. He's blinded. It's a ladder match,

293
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: I should mention that. And so he's all the way

294
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: at the top of the ladder. He's at the top run,

295
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: but he's got the powder in his eyes, and so

296
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: the belt's there. He's grabbing forties recent it, where's the belt?

297
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: That's penn State. They're in the ladder match, rots down

298
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: for the count. They just pedigreed him. They're all the

299
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: way up the ladder. They just gotta grab the belt.

300
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: That's it, Jesse, are you actually typing in the teleprompter

301
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: right now? This is breaking news? Isn't it. Penn State

302
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: has landed Dante Sephas. All one hundred players in the

303
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: transfer portal top one hundred are now committed. Hey, that's

304
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: a big pickup. That's a really big pickup. That's off

305
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: to Manny Diaz for that one. So even as we're

306
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: speaking or no, no, that's the receiver. Yeah, that's right, I'm

307
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: thinking about Cyprus. My bad big day, big day for

308
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: Penn State there. So James Franklin, I'm not going to

309
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: bump him from an A minus to an A just

310
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: because he landed a portal player while we were talking

311
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: about it. But I'm giving him an A minus. I

312
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: think he's doing a really good job up there, and

313
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: I think that they are setting themselves up. It feels

314
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: a lot like Florida State. They're setting themselves up for

315
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: a season that has the most promise. Another word for

316
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: that is hype. The most hype around it as we've

317
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: seen in quite a while. Speaking of Florida State, one

318
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: of the most natural transitions we've ever made. Mike Norvel

319
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: also getting an A minus from me. Crazy things happen,

320
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: just wild things happen if you have a little patience

321
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: in life and in college football people doubted the past

322
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: two years. Thankfully, I don't necessarily have to count myself

323
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: among them. I may have doubted some other things. I

324
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: didn't doubt Mike Norvel. People don't forget how to coach football. Now.

325
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: If you wanted to argue, maybe they'll just never get

326
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: it off the ground there, eh, I don't think you

327
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: were dumb if you thought that. I just took a

328
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: weight and see approach with him mentioned sarkasecond Ago. It's

329
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: the same boat I'm in with Steve Sarkisian. I'm just

330
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of waiting and seeing how things work out. They

331
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: trusted the process down there. You never saw Mike Norvel waiver.

332
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't think you ever saw a second of him

333
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: questioning his approach. You know that those are the kinds

334
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: of people who ultimately weather the storm. Had a guy

335
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: tell me one time, one of the best pieces of

336
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: advice is it's not the strength of the gale, it's

337
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: the set of the sale. No one ever takes over

338
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: a job that's a mess and immediately just every light

339
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: bulb clicks, every button, eye press works and we're fully operational.

340
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: We're good to go. That was never going to be

341
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: the case there and so you needed a guy that

342
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: had the sale set the right way. There was going

343
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: to be a strong, strong gale for a while. And

344
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: the thing about it is your approach was not going

345
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: to pay immediate dividends because it's impossible, and so people

346
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: were gonna question it. And you gotta have a guy

347
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: with some backbone. You got to have a guy with

348
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: a spine that's able to look the criticism in the

349
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: eye and then look straight past the criticism. And Mike

350
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: Norvell's done that, and now you start to reap some

351
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: of the rewards. Of course, the people who wanted him

352
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: out of there and know where to be found. That's wonderful.

353
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: That's great. Portal classes number eleven last year. They've currently

354
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: got the number one overall portal class. This year. They

355
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: just had the first ten win season since back in

356
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. They led the acc in rushing. They have

357
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: got a bunch of key players returning, not the least

358
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: of which is the quarterback Jordan Travis. They got obviously

359
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: a lot of portal players coming in there. Do you

360
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: notice this by the way Jared Verse, I was certain

361
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: I would have bet money that he was going to

362
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: be off training for the combine by now. No, no,

363
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: absolutely not. Notice these guys coming back and guys who

364
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: want to play. There not a lot of folks trying

365
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: to get out of Tallahassee right now. A lot of

366
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: folks trying to either get into Tallahassee or stay in Tallahassee.

367
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: And it's not the most it's not the most flamboyant

368
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: program in the country right now. It's not the program

369
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: that runs its mouth the most in the country right now.

370
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: It is a program that's getting things done. It's the

371
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: program that's headed in the right direction, trending up, as

372
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: they would say. So I am giving them an a minus.

373
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: I know that maybe a little aggressive for some of you,

374
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: but I'm giving them an a minus. Twenty twenty three

375
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: College foot will play Off title odds. By the way,

376
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: I said that really fast. Twenty twenty three college football

377
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: Playoff title odds. In other words, your odds of winning

378
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Clemson in Florida State, as we mentioned

379
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: the other night, same exact odds. How about that, for

380
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, it's not Clemson

381
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: and then a couple of Grand Canyons and then the

382
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: rest of the ACC. No, now it's clums in Florida State,

383
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: then the Grand Canyon. At least in the odds making community,

384
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: job approval ratings always go swimmingly. See that was that

385
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: was a layup of an opening to job approval rating season.

386
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: Because what did we We didn't go lower than a

387
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: B minus. We will be going lower than B minuses

388
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: in the coming shows because we we have to. We

389
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: have to get our hands dirty. It was very easy

390
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: to ease our way into it there. We got to

391
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: get our hands dirty. There's a lot, there's a lot

392
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: to clean up about the sport, so don't worry. We're

393
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: here to do it. Academy dot Com, though, is here

394
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: for us. No matter what approval rating A plus plus

395
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: plus plus, I'm out of pluses. I would have gone

396
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: five or sixty. Academy Sports and Outdoors quite simply the

397
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: reason we're on air, and also quite simply the reason

398
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: you don't have to go very many places for all

399
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: of your needs, at least when it comes to the

400
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: sporting goods variety outdoors variety. They'll hook you up with

401
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: some shoes just as easily as they'll hook you up

402
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: with a basketball goal or a tent or a fly

403
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: fishing rot they got it all and they've got us

404
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: on the air for free, and that's what a presenting

405
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: sponsor is all about. And just a little side note,

406
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: they also load me up with Academy gift cards and

407
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: when I go on the road, I can just throw

408
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: them around. It's close as I'll ever come to feel

409
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: like tee paint. So I appreciate them. We appreciate them,

410
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you guys for patronizing them, and they

411
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: threw me. Appreciate it. So thank you so much to Academy,

412
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: and thank you so much to you guys Academy dot com.

413
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: If you can't get there in person, Academy dot com

414
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: a lot of times, let me take a little sit

415
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: from the challice here. You don't have to worry about them.

416
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: It's not a night where I'm going to lose my voice.

417
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: It's just a night where there's a little scratch in

418
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: the voice. We are famous, well, we are noteworthy on

419
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: this show for pioneering the Sarah McLachlan special. This most

420
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: certainly won't be included on the YouTube cut column. On

421
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: this show, we know a Sarah McLachlin special to be

422
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: a blowout on the field, and we call it a

423
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: Sarah maclachlin special because if you've ever seen the abuse

424
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: used animal pet shelter commercials where arms of an Angel

425
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: is playing in the background and it's Sarah McLaughlin holding

426
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: the most pitiful, downtrodden puppy in the entire place that

427
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: you've ever seen, and it's entirely geared towards hugging at

428
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: your heartstrings. It works one hundred percent of the time,

429
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: by the way, and getting you to give money. The

430
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin special in football is very similar. When do

431
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: you watch a team and go past just watching them

432
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: to actively feeling sorry for them? Most recently, you saw

433
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: that last Monday night in Inglewood, California, when we saw

434
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: TCU get splattered all over the place. Sarah McLachlin special. Well,

435
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: there may be another Sarah maclachlin special in the cards

436
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: here because another great song by Sarah McLaughlin is building

437
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: a mystery. I happened to listen to the acoustic version

438
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: last night in preparation for the show Colin. This is

439
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: where you can endpoint it college football's mystery programs. There's

440
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: a lot of mystery this time of year in general,

441
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: but there's some program I have no clue about. I

442
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: don't know what to expect. Quite frankly, I have a

443
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: hard time explaining what we're getting from them, and I

444
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: certainly have no clue what to expect in twenty twenty

445
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: three Texas A and M. First up, Does anyone have

446
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: a system out there or a set of expectations where

447
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: you think this team is going to win nine plus

448
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: games this year and it's rooted in logic. I'm not

449
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: just saying, give me someone who is cheering for it. Well,

450
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: of course, everyone in Aggie nation's cheering for it. Does

451
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: anyone have the slightest fact based clue that this is

452
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: going to work out? This deal with Bobby Petrino with

453
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: a higher that I like, by the way, but just

454
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: because I like it doesn't mean it's always going to

455
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: work out. Does anyone look at the exodus of players

456
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: in the transfer portal, even if they're explainable, and even

457
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: if a lot of those guys were not going to

458
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: be welcomed back, and think to themselves, I'm one hundred

459
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: percent sure we will be a much better football team

460
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: for this. If you can do that, you probably make

461
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: a lot of money bet in the sport and retire

462
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: because I don't know that there's a ton of skill

463
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: in it. There's hope in it, but we're not doing

464
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: this based on hope. We want skill, We want to

465
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: be able to rub that crystal ball, and we want

466
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: some guided intel, you know, we want logic based information.

467
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: And right now, I don't know. Whatever disaster was going

468
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: to be this past year, they were worse than disastrous.

469
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: There was not a world where I thought A and

470
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: M missed a Bowl game worst case scenario. Very rarely

471
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: do I over sell worst case scenario, and yet I

472
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: oversold it for them, or I guess undersold it because

473
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: the reality was a lot worse than whatever I thought

474
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: worst case scenario could have been. This thing with Bobby

475
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Petrino is interesting, though it's one of the more noteworthy

476
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: moves in terms of staff that's been made across the country,

477
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: because it would be one thing if Colorado State had

478
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: made this. All due respect to the they're watching us

479
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: in Fort Collins tonight, but if Colorado State made it,

480
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: you would look and say, it's still Colorado State. Though

481
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't expect to be hearing their name in the

482
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: New Year's sixth Conversation. But the thing about Texas A

483
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: and M. That anyone who has watched the sport for

484
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: a while knows is it's foolish to totally ignore a

485
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: roster with that many players on it. You do that

486
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: at your own peril, because small changes to rosters that

487
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: deep can lead to totally different results one year to

488
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: the next. So that's why I'm mentioning them. This is

489
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: not a positive or negative segment. This is an I

490
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: have no clue segment, and some would argue I should

491
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: do more of those, but I'm doing you one right

492
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: now because I don't have the slightest clue what to

493
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: expect with Texas A and M this year. Mystery program,

494
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: and the mystery in terms of the program and not

495
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: just the team is if they were to repeat or

496
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: have anything close to a repeat next year of what

497
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: we just saw this year, I guess there's more mystery

498
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: because I don't know what they would do. I know

499
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: what the buyout numbers are, yet I also know what

500
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: the standard is there, and that would have been two

501
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: years in a row of not even coming remotely close

502
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: to it. Mystery program number one. Even though I put

503
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: A and M at the top of the list, I

504
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: think the I can't believe I'm about to say this.

505
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: The biggest mystery program in America now to me as

506
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State again. This was the model of stability. Every

507
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: year they were winning roughly at the same level. Every year,

508
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: they were recruiting at roughly the same level. And it

509
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: wasn't always top ten recruiting classes, in fact, it never was.

510
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: But they were always in that twenty five to thirty

511
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: five range with like one or two exceptions over the

512
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: past decade to fifteen years. Just the model of stability

513
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: under Mike Gundhy. And they started off very, very well

514
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: this past year. I thought they were on their way

515
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: to the Big twelve championship game. I thought they were

516
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: going to get a chance to avenge their loss against

517
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: Baylor last year. I thought all these things because we

518
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: got as late as October twenty second when they beat Texas.

519
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: You see the schedule here if you're watching on YouTube.

520
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Look at how good things were. They were one, two, three, four,

521
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: six and one coming out of that Texas game that

522
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: was October twenty second. Then they go to Kansas State

523
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: and they get blanked. That's where the every given Saturday

524
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: tour was. You talk about it, Sarah McLoughlin special woof

525
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: I would have bought ten wounded puppies that day if

526
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: you would have just played the b roll of that

527
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: game behind the Sarah McLoughlin music. So listen to this,

528
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: and it's not just the on field results, but everything

529
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: that's happened since then. Since the Texas game October twenty second,

530
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State went one in five on the field. Their

531
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: first seven games this year, they scored over forty points

532
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: per game. Their last six they scored fourteen point one

533
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: points per game. It's like someone pulled a leverage, like

534
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: someone sucked the oxygen out of the program. They've lost

535
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: eight offensive guys to the portal. They've lost eight defensive

536
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: guys to the portal. They'll probably end up losing over

537
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: thirty total players from this past roster. Recruiting has fallen

538
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: off a cliff. They've never been a team that loads

539
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: up on five star talent, but there's a big difference

540
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: in not loading up on five star talent, still finishing

541
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: in the thirty to thirty five range like they normally do,

542
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: versus being in the sixties right now, and there's not

543
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: a long way to go. The early signing days already

544
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: behind us. I don't know what's happening internally. I don't

545
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: know what's happening out there, but something not very good

546
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: is happening out there, and as a result, what had

547
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: been the model of consistency, all of a sudden is

548
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: one of the biggest mystery programs in the country because

549
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: I do not know what to expect from Oklahoma State.

550
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: Spencer Sanders, the quarterback, win in the transfer portal, and

551
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: he's still in the transfer portal, like no one. No

552
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: one knows what's happening. Derek Mason was the defensive coordinator there.

553
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: Jesse Didn't he just quit? Didn't he just say I'm

554
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: done with football for a little while after over three

555
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: decades of being active somewhere in some capacity. Derek Mason,

556
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: I'd just rather not be in football than be here

557
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: again this year. So yeah, Oklahoma State, big mystery. Michigan State.

558
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: I can't find the centerpoint for the program. I know

559
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: what I saw last year, but then I know what

560
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: I saw two years ago, and then three years ago

561
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: was the COVID year, which was also mel Tucker's first year,

562
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: so I didn't have any expectation that year. But you

563
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: go two and five year one under Meltucker eleven and

564
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: two year two that was last year, that was the

565
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: big awakening in East Lansing. And then he gets followed

566
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: up with five and seven. So what is the program?

567
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: Because if you were to have watched that Michigan State

568
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: team last year and then you saw the final record

569
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: this year, at least if I saw that five and

570
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: I would think they must have had the Nebraska disease

571
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: of losing every game by three points. But then you

572
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: look and their losses to Washington double digits, to Minnesota

573
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: blowout double digits, to Maryland double digits, to Ohio State

574
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: double digits, at Michigan double digits, they lost in overtime

575
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: by only what eight or six to Indiana, Yeah, to Indiana,

576
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: And so they lost the last game of the year

577
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: to Penn State double digits. They weren't close. They can't

578
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: run the ball. Some of their rushing statistics were the

579
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: worst in the world this year. And I don't know

580
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: where the program's at it. I don't know what's the

581
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: center point. If you could just if you could just

582
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 1: find the happy middle ground, I don't know, because if

583
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: you were to add all this stuff up. Mel Tucker's

584
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: first three years. The COVID year is kind of weird

585
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: because they only played seven games, but eleven wins and

586
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: five wins. It averages out into an eight win per

587
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: year season. But it's all or nothing. It's feast or famine.

588
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: There's almost no reason to expect that's where this program

589
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: will land this year. It almost feels like they'll either

590
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: be back to shocking the world or missing an old

591
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: game again, and neither one of those is good for

592
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: this segment. That's why they're a mystery program. I can't

593
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: figure him out, but I can tell you right now

594
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: there will be no sustainability up there if they can't

595
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: run the ball better. Everybody's talking about the quarterback position

596
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: right now. Peyton Thorn, is he gonna come back? And

597
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: if he comes back, I guess he will. Will he

598
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: still be the starting quarterback? You're gonna be able to

599
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: run the ball for him, because if you can't, I

600
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: don't really care who's playing quarterback for you. You're gonna be

601
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: very very bad, very very ineffective. Lastly, I want to

602
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: talk about Florida for a second. Spoke about him at

603
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: length on the show the other night. Talked about the

604
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: Jaden Rashata nil situation, which I guess is still not rectified,

605
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: although it looks like looks like maybe they be fit.

606
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: They could go fishing in the transfer portal for a

607
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: player that more than fills that void. Will see about that.

608
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: Jayden Mashad is still not a Florida Gator, and I

609
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: don't know that he will be. But that's not what

610
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: this segment's about. Florida is a mystery program to me again,

611
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: because they could end up just being great under Billy Napier.

612
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: But it also could be that the bottom falls out,

613
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: which is the definition of what lands you in this segment.

614
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: So it's not positive or negative. It's just a big

615
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: question mark. The reason I have them here is not

616
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: because I don't believe in Napier. Quite the opposite, fully

617
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: believe in Billy Napier. I think he's a lot more

618
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: cerebral than folks give him credit for. You know, you

619
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: don't You don't know unless you're around someone or unless

620
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: you happen to, you know, be inside the walls of

621
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: the athletic complex. So it's not like I expect someone

622
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: in Madison, Wisconsin to just have a great inside track

623
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: on Billy Napier. That's fine, there is a kind of

624
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: a misconception that, oh, he's just in above his head.

625
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he is, or in over his head.

626
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he is. And so so what I

627
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: do think, and did a lot of talking to a

628
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: lot of folks around that program over the past three

629
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: or four days since the show we had last week

630
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: or what was it of Thursday, is I think long

631
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: term they're going to be fine at NIL. There's reason

632
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: to be aggravated with what's happening right now. But you see,

633
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: right now, you haven't even taken off the end. I'm

634
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: not talking about Florida. The entire world of NIL is

635
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: so much in its infancy that a lot of things

636
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: you worry about right now you will laugh at twenty

637
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: twenty six, you will laugh that they were even a

638
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: big deal, or that they were a problem. But right

639
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: now it is what it is. And that's not even

640
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: just a Florida problem, although it is a problem or

641
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: an issue at Florida. But that's the reason why I

642
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: think there's a question. But there are people down there

643
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: doing a lot of work and a lot of pushing

644
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: the ball forward positively right now. Ellie Napier included that

645
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: I think it's laughable that anyone's been mad at that

646
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: guy about Nil. Scott Strickland, same thing. Man. I saw

647
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: a lot of folks, a lot of folks trying to

648
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: throw mud on Scott Strickland. What's happened out there right now,

649
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: it's not on Scott Strickland or BILLI Napier. So they

650
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: will always ad and head coach will always shoulder a

651
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: disproportionate amount of blame and probably get too much credit sometimes.

652
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: But this specific thing, take it from someone who's done

653
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: some digging that ain't where the blame should be heaped.

654
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: Save it for when they're actually at fault for something,

655
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: not this thing right here. I think they're gonna be

656
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: okay in Nil. I think they're taking a more measured approach.

657
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: I think long term, the approach that a program like

658
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: Florida is taking will probably be more beneficial. But I

659
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: know it doesn't feel that way right now, and I

660
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: know it sounds like I'm speaking very vaguely. It's because

661
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: I am, because I don't want to give you a

662
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: lot of details, because that's giving your word in exchange

663
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: for getting some information. But I think it still qualifies

664
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: Florida as a mystery program. Because as much as I

665
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: can feel warm and fuzzy about where things are ultimately headed,

666
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: they're not there right now. So right now it's still

667
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: very bumpy. And back to the matter is you can't

668
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: afford to go six and seven again next year or else.

669
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: No one cares about what it's going to be like

670
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: five years down the road. They're watching us in Aiken,

671
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: South Carolina. They're watching us in Jersey so or New Jersey.

672
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: They said we couldn't get viewers in Jersey, but we did.

673
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Bristol, Florida, probably Bristol, Tennessee, and Bristol,

674
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: Connecticut as well. I need you to do me just

675
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: one favor. I think you probably know what it is

676
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 1: if you're watching right now, like the video, because less

677
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: than a quarter of you who are watching live have

678
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: clicked that little thumbs up button. And if you go

679
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: that far, go ahead and subscribe to the channel. And

680
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcast, really good pod numbers this week,

681
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: go ahead and follow us there, subscribe, whatever the terminology is,

682
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: go ahead and do that for me. It's free. There's

683
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: no secret there, just helps us. Show is free for you.

684
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: Nothing changes, it's just that it helps us, okay for

685
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: a portal on fire for the millionth day in a row. However,

686
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: we're starting to get some clarity, We're starting to see

687
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: things fall into place. Let me give you some quarterback updates,

688
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: because I know that right now your head's probably spinning.

689
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: You just came out of the holiday season, Bowls season,

690
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: and you remember that some guys went in the portal

691
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: when it first opened. You may not know where they

692
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: all landed. Let's start with quarterbacks, and here's an updated

693
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: list of who went in there, or at least the

694
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: top ten or twelve. I think it's all we could

695
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: fit on the screen, and where they ended up. Like

696
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: we've talked about Sam Hartman already, So Sam Hartman obviously

697
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: went from Wake Forest to Notre Dame. That was a hiccup.

698
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: That one hurt ouch. Spencer Sanders, I still don't know

699
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with him. So we're still waiting on

700
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: a guy like Spencer Sanders. But elsewhere Shadarra Sanders. Dion

701
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: Son obviously stands to reason. He went to Colorado. Hudson

702
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: card went from Texas to Purdue. Devin Leary went from

703
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: NC State to Kentucky DJ Luian Galala, you may or

704
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: may not. I'm just making sure Clemson to Oregon State

705
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: now here is my question that we will never know

706
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: the answer to. If I saw DJ under Garrett Riley,

707
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: what would it have looked like? I don't know. Garrett

708
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: Riley has been the offensive coordinator at Clemson for like

709
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: ten minutes, so he hasn't really had time to sink

710
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: his teeth into his current roster. DJ is not a

711
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: part of it, though. Brennan Armstrong Virginia to NC State,

712
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: what's it going to mean? I have no clue. Some

713
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: of the most innocuous you know how rarely I use

714
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: that word. Some of the most innocent, innocuous moves in

715
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: the portal can in October lead to some of the

716
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: biggest mushroom cloud results. And you're going, I never knew

717
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: Brennan Armstrong was going to have this impact on the ACC. Well,

718
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: who knows? So? Jeff Simms is the one that's the

719
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: wild card for me. Jeff Simms was at Georgia Tech

720
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: and he's going up to Nebraska. And you got Matt

721
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: Ruhle the head coach there. Now, who knows how much

722
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: he does or doesn't like what he inherited, my spidy

723
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: sense to tell me he's probably not crazy about the roster,

724
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: just to hunch that he's probably not crazy about the

725
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: roster he inherited at Nebraska. So Jeff Simms may get

726
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: an early look there. We'll see him. That's the quarterback position.

727
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley has done it again. People. I know this

728
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: comes as a surprise, but for the second consecutive cycle,

729
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's making some big move in the transfer portal.

730
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: USC's got the number two portal class right now. They've

731
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: got eleven overall commits. That's not a final number, but

732
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: they have spread it out. If you're watching on YouTube,

733
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: you see all the different positions that are represented there.

734
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: I think quarterback was the one that took the cake

735
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: last year. Obviously, Kayleb Williams, well, you don't have a

736
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: quarterback there. Got pretty much every other position though. Anthony Lucas,

737
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: that's a big form of five star defensive lineman from

738
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: Texas A and M's class last cycle cycle before last,

739
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: that is in southern California. Now, Marshawn Lloyd's a really

740
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: good player. That's that running back, starting running back from

741
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: South Carolina. So he just goes from the SEO there

742
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: to the sc out there and each of those fan

743
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: bases respectively. Eight when the other calls themselves the real USC.

744
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: When I grew up, even though I was in the South,

745
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: close your ears in Columbia, Southern California was USC. That's

746
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: just me. That's just that's just one family's opinion, one

747
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: child's upbringing in Columbus, Georgia. Excuse me, forts in Georgia.

748
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: Darius Singer also the wide receiver from Arizona. He's at

749
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 1: Southern cal one of two programs right now, USC, one

750
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: of two programs, top five class in the portal, top

751
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: fifteen class in recruiting. Lincoln Riley's a beast. Now. I

752
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: don't know how good they're going to be defensively anytime soon,

753
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: but do not doubt that guy. The difference is all

754
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: these moves right now are good enough to get him

755
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: on the brink, get him to the precipice, probably good

756
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: enough to win the Pac twelve. We'll see. They will

757
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: not cut through the national championship ceiling until they can

758
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: be better defensive. But I mean they were on the

759
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: brink of making the pack, making the playoff this year.

760
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: They were on the brink in year one. So Jordan

761
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 1: Birch went out West as well. That's another big time name.

762
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how big time a player he was

763
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: at South Carolina. Pretty good player, I think, former five

764
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: star guy. It was huge for optics alone that South

765
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: Carolina landed him when they did. He's probably still got

766
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: his best football ahead of him, and if he's going

767
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: to get it out of himself, it's going to be

768
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: done at Oregon because he did indeed transfer out there.

769
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 1: Now this is a few days old. I'm just trying

770
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: to remind you we expected this when he went in

771
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: the portal. I don't think you and I have spoken

772
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: about this since then. Oregon's loading up on the defensive line.

773
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: This is just one of several pieces. You look at

774
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: their recruiting class, they're a defensive linemen all up and

775
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: down that list. They've got some guys coming back, and

776
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: so they in Eugene, Oregon, not surprisingly because of who

777
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: the head coach is there are taking death along the

778
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: defensive front very seriously. You know, you have not watched

779
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: Oregon for a while and said that's the kind of

780
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 1: program that's two or three deep with with quality maybe

781
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: future Sunday NFL type defensive lineman. Well, they are putting

782
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: forth their best effort to making sure you can say

783
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: that about them in the future. And when you think

784
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: about the style of play out there, and you think

785
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: about what separates some of those West Coast teams from

786
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: being able to compete nationally, what do we always say,

787
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: State of California, which is the talent reservoir out west,

788
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: produces a lot of players, doesn't produce a lot of

789
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: really quality offensive defensive lineman, or at least it hasn't

790
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: been lately, I mean total drought in that department. Well,

791
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: Oregon's finding a way, and that's why I'm taking Oregon

792
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: very seriously out there now and indefinitely moving forward. Also,

793
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly doing a really good job acquiring talent down

794
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: at LSU. Now, their recruiting class is really good, but

795
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: they also have the number five portal class ten overall

796
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: players here. I'm really interested to see what Denver Harris does.

797
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: They've taken so many corners. Jesse told me they have

798
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: four four star corners out of the portal, not in

799
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: recruiting out of the portal, and Denver Harris is one

800
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: of them. And that is yet another guy who is

801
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: part of that much bally Hood. I don't know that

802
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: I've ever said that word. I've just heard it. But

803
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: Ballyhood class for Texas A and M last year, and

804
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: he did not have things pan out for him in

805
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: college station. That doesn't mean he's not talented. It just

806
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: means it didn't work out there. Maybe it works out

807
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: at LSU. They swung big and apparently, judging by the

808
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: stars on this piece of paper in front of me,

809
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 1: hit big or fairly big, at least when it comes

810
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: to corner back recruiting out of the portal. Also, Aaron

811
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: Anderson is a guy that I don't know why it is,

812
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: but out of high school. I followed his recruitment pretty closely.

813
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: He was out of Louisiana. He committed to BAMA. I

814
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: don't know what happened with him there, didn't work out.

815
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: He is back at LSU. Now. Some people thought he'd

816
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: landed LSU out of high school, and Nick Saban said,

817
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: let's just defer that. Come up here, spend a year,

818
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: then you go back to LSU. I think he's going

819
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: to be a good player. I still I think. Look,

820
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: his reviews out of high school were really good. A

821
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: lot of people I trust said, watch that one. He's underrated.

822
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: He's not nearly his high profile as some of these

823
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: other guys. So I'm not gonna punt on him after

824
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: one year. Also, you can't help but notice that is

825
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: all this influx of talent is happening for LSU. There

826
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: is one name, or at least as of late, there's

827
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: one name that's on the way out the door, and

828
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: that's Walker Howard. And that was a very very big

829
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: n State quarterback product, either last cycle or cycle before last.

830
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: And so they had that little three way dance that

831
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: was going on at quarterback. And you got Jaden Daniels

832
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,959
Speaker 1: who's coming back, and you got Garrett nuss Smeyer who's

833
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: also in that mix. Both of them played a pretty

834
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: helped the amount this past year. I thought it was

835
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: kind of peculiar that Brian Kelly after the bowl game

836
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: had no hesitation in saying, yeah, Jaden Daniels is going

837
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback. Now, Garrett can compete for

838
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: the job, dus Meyer can compete for the job, but

839
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: Jayden and Daniels is starting quarterback. I thought he'd just

840
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: have it totally open, and he didn't choose to do

841
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: it that way. It's his program, so it's his constitutional

842
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 1: right to operate his quarterback room the way he sees fifth.

843
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: It's the fact that's just in the constitution. But Walker

844
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: Howard said, I'm out, and Walker Howard probably going to

845
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: be a really good player for someone as well. That

846
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: is where the University of Florida may enter the equation,

847
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: may enter the equation. And how interesting would it be if,

848
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: after all this here's another first first time word usage alert.

849
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: After all this hullabaloo, God bless me more for introducing

850
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 1: me to that one. After all this hullabaloo about Jade

851
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: and Rashata, what if they just go land Walker Howard

852
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: and he ends up being the starting quarterback there? What if?

853
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,479
Speaker 1: What if I told you? So, you know, let's see

854
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: this through before we just totally cast Billy Napier out

855
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: into the gulf. Let's just see it through. Jehard Carter

856
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: Jehad Carter spells his name a little weird. I have

857
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: trouble with it. Jehad. I'm used to jih double a d.

858
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: That's a good old fashioned jehad where I come from.

859
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: But jaa apostrophe had is interesting. I can get used

860
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: to it. It's just interesting. Nevertheless, he has moved on

861
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: from Syracuse and he is a safety now, top safety

862
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: in the portal that will be playing his football for

863
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Number thirteen overall player in the portal. You

864
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: want to see his best game, you probably need to

865
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: go watch the pit game. But also, if you were

866
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: watching the Clemson Syracuse game this past year, you remember

867
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: that little scoop and score that was him. So if

868
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: if you just if your mind works in like memory

869
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: framework highlight mode, you probably saw Jehard Carter returning a

870
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: scoop and score against Clemson. I think he's going to

871
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: be very good for Ohio State. That's probably a move

872
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: that didn't receive a ton of a ton of fanfare,

873
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: although in Columbus it probably did. I didn't hear a

874
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: lot about it nationally. That's why we're talking about it here. Six'

875
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: two one eight big body there plays. Safety it's not a.

876
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: Corner let's see What Jim knowles and company does With Jahiv.

877
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: Carter so that is the most up to date picture

878
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: of the transfer portal we have for. You, now there

879
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: are some more moves going, on not just not just

880
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: players moving. Around i'm Gonna, Uh i'm going to post

Speaker 1: Thing So Director, colin part of his responsibilities around here

889
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,680

Speaker 1: he is now the defensive coordinator For Ole. Miss we expected,

898
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: this BUT i was never. Sure see that's the thing

899
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: With Nick. Saban he doesn't let anyone know. Anything he

900
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: runs his program the same WAY i RUN Payt state

901
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: If jesse's gonna get, Canned jesse will not know about

902
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: it until it's already. Happened And Pete golding did not get.

903
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: Canned see that's the other. Difference Nick saban never fires.

904
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: Anyone think back all the years he's been, there all

905
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: the coaches he's had come through, there especially coordinators who's been.

906
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: Fired The Lane kiffen thing was really weird and happened

907
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: the week of the championship, game but certain extenuating circumstances

908
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: led to. That just for strictly on the field reasons

909
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: who's been, fired he doesn't fire, anyone facilitates them moving on.

910
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: Elsewhere it's really the most like boss power move you

911
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: could ever. Execute if you think about, it who else

912
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: has that ability to never have to fire? Anyone you

913
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: just put them where you want. Them. NOW i know

914
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: that that sounds a little. Disrespectful it's. Not it's just.

915
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: REALITY i know there has been some reporting that this

916
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: was Fully Pete golding's, decision and he's At Old miss

917
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: because he just chose to take the defensive coordinator job

918
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: In oxford over the defensive coordinator job In. Tuscaloosa i'm

919
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna let you read between the Lines as to how

920
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: you feel about, That i'm just gonna tell, You Nick

921
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: saban had both hands on the wheel of this. Decision

922
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: so Wish Pete golding all the best In. Oxford we've

923
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: got one coordinator opening In. Tuscaloosa, now where are they gonna?

924
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: Go where Will Nick saban? TURN i tend to believe

925
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: that this move is not being made unless he is

926
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: well down the road on knowing who the replacement's going to. Be,

927
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: now that does not mean that there's already been an

928
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: agreement and the replacement is either on his way To

929
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: tuscaloosa or is already In. Tuscalus it may not quite be,

930
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: that but it may just be That Nick, saban let's,

931
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: say has assurances from two or three guys that he

932
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: wants to choose from that any of them would come

933
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 1: if he were to offer the. Job, well if your

934
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 1: top three choices have all said, yes in, theory then

935
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: you feel pretty safe moving on from who your current

936
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: defense coordinator. Is that's one. Possibility, again let me, emphasize

937
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: can't do any strong enough. Terms no one knows But Nick.

938
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: SABAN i don't Think Pete golding knew until the morning

939
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 1: of this past week and have pretty good reason to believe.

940
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: That So Glenn schuman At, georgia, SURE i think he's a.

941
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: POSSIBILITY i Think jeremy prew it's a, Possibility and that

942
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,240
Speaker 1: one sort of raises some. Eyebrows does that one comes

943
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: with SOME ncuba, baggage if you want to call it.

944
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: That at the very, least there are unresolved issues With Jeremy.

945
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: PREWITT i don't pretend to know what's going to happen

946
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: there no one else does. Either What Nick saban can

947
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: do that you AND i can't do is he can

948
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: pick up the. Phone university Of alabama can Call, Indianapolis

949
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: indiana ncuaa headquarters and get pretty good guidance on, that

950
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: and then they can decide internally whether the university is

951
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: willing to sign off on that kind of. Move you

952
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: could have some punitive measures taken from THE ncuba On

953
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: Jeremy prewitt In may Or. June we don't know, yet

954
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: have no, clue so that's all got to be taken into.

955
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: Consideration Jim leonard From wisconsin is obviously a name that's

956
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: been in the. Mix but let me just remind, you,

957
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: GUYS i learned this long. Ago you don't. Know there

958
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: is no skill in, this So i'm not going to

959
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: forecast it for. You WHAT i will say, is last

960
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: time there was a coordinator opening, There Nick saban went

961
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: to The university Of, Texas San. Antonio that's where he

962
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: Found Pete. Golding so Did Pete golding's name even appear

963
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 1: on anyone's list before? THAT i don't think. So having said,

964
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: that some of you have hit me up and you've,

965
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: said How's Nick saban making position coaching hires when he

966
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: doesn't even have his coordinator position Philped the first THING

967
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: i would tell you is that doesn't matter because coordinators

968
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: don't make, hires or rarely do they even have input

969
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: on hires At alabama to begin, With so he can

970
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: do it in whatever order he wants because he's going

971
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: to make all the highers. Anyway the second thing is

972
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: just because a coordinator has not been hired doesn't mean

973
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: the head man there doesn't have a pretty darn good

974
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: idea where he's going on the. Hire and the third

975
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: thing is it's his defense, Anyway so we're not talking

976
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: about The bill O'Brien offensive coordinator, situation Which i'll get

977
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: to in just a, second WHICH i also think is rapidly.

978
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: Approaching it's there's a reason why there's been so much

979
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: staff turn there and they are largely. Consistent it's cause

980
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: it's one guy's way and a lot of other guys

981
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: come in there and learn to do it his, way

982
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: and then they succeed to varying degrees or they, don't

983
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: but it's always going to be his. Way it's the

984
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: same Thing Kirby smart's built At. Georgia it's just a

985
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: little bit fresher over. There If Glenn schuman were to

986
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: Leave georgian go To, alabama here's a bold prediction for.

987
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: You georgia's defense has not falling off very. Much not

988
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: falling off very much because as much respect AS i

989
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: have For Glenn schuman in his, defense nor would it

990
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: Be Glenn shuman's defense At. Alabama having said, that the

991
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: rub you get from being THE dc Under Kirby smart

992
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: Or Nick saban is worth its weight in platinum and.

993
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: Gold so the other side of this is the other

994
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: question there, was do you think more moves are? Coming?

995
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: Yes in the, Affirmative, YES i don't Think bill O'Brien's

996
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: going to be the offensive coordinator At alabama when spring

997
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: ball rolls. AROUND i don't believe, that but you never.

998
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: Know BUT i have very very solid instinct on. That

999
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: don't think he will Be Unlike Pete, Golding bill O'Brien

1000
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: just has a contract that's about to. Expire so you

1001
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 1: haven't seen a move made yet. There there may not

1002
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: be a. Move it may just be his contract, expires

1003
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: there's a handshake on the front, step And bill O'Brien's

1004
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: on his way to The patriots Or titans or something like.

1005
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: That who. Knows he may stay in college and go

1006
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: get himself a lower level college football head coaching. JOB

1007
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: i don't know what he's gonna. DO i just don't

1008
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be At. Alabama BUT i know it

1009
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: seems like it's taking so, long but it's not really

1010
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: taken all that. Long it's just that maybe it's not

1011
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: your timetable that is being operated, on which is a little.

1012
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: FRUSTRATING i get, That BUT I i Think Nick sabe

1013
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: has probably well on his way to figuring out what

1014
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna do there as. Well THE oc, move, though

1015
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 1: if there is, one that's the one THAT i am

1016
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: totally fascinated, by totally. FASCINATING i had no, clue no

1017
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: clue where he could go on. THAT a lot of

1018
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: people will put lists out, there no guidance. NONE i

1019
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: have spoken two people close to the, program as close

1020
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: to the program AS i can possibly. Get they don't.

1021
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: KNOW i could have walked up To Nick saban Last monday.

1022
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 1: Night we were. There we were on the sideline standing

1023
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: over there and in so IF i, STADIUM i probably

1024
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: could have asked him and he would have just smiled and,

1025
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: said how do you light this blue? Suit did you

1026
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: hear What pollock said to? Me that's probably more along

1027
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: the lines of the ANSWER i would have gotten from.

1028
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: HIM i think there will be another coordinator move. COMING

1029
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: i think you're going to see two new coordinators up.

1030
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,959
Speaker 1: There we've guaranteed. ONE i think we're gonna get another.

1031
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: One and still sitting there with the number one recruiting

1032
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: class in the. Country so have it lost to my

1033
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: knowledge as single player because of staff. Moves, finally but not,

1034
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: leastily if you, will we got to hit bold predictions graded.

1035

00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 1: said don't just speak, freely pretend you have to bet

1039
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: money on this. Stuff, now what do you have to

1040
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: say to? Me and some of you still went pretty.

1041
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: Bold for, example how about this first? One brett, said

1042
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: my bold, prediction No georgia Or alabama in this year's

1043
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,919
Speaker 1: college football. Playoff of, course that was never gonna. Happen

1044
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: BRETT i told you at the, TIME i did not

1045
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: think that was going to. HAPPEN i put a nine

1046
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 1: point three on a scale of one to ten boldness

1047
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: on this. One and my quote, was if one of

1048
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: these teams misses the, playoff there's a high likelihood it's

1049
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: because of the other. One it turns out that wasn't the,

1050
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: case but it didn't matter Because georgia made it. Anyway

1051
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: georgia had had room to lose and still make it

1052
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: in for the second year in a, row only they

1053
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 1: didn't lose this time. Around number one and number two

1054
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: Were georgia And alabama in preseason odds. Backwards obama was,

1055
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 1: One georgia was. TWO i just didn't see a world

1056
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: where neither of them made it in and that did not,

1057
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: Happen so nine point three that one misses pay Up.

1058
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 1: BRETT i can't remember the dollar room ount we agreed.

1059
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: On next, up this one's unfortunate cautionary. Tale on this bold,

1060
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: Prediction Isaiah nayer From Cole, Thompson Isaiah nayor will become

1061
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: the number one receiver At. Texas he'll win the Bulletn

1062
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: A cough with over thirteen hundred receiving yards and ten plus.

1063
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: Touchdowns Isaiah nair was lost for the, season like the

1064
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: second week of fall, camp and we never got to see.

1065
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: You AND i thought he was going to have a terrific.

1066
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: CAMPAIGN i don't know if he's gonna win The Bulatan.

1067
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: Cough wouldn't have surprised, me though he was really good At.

1068
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: Wyoming he was stepping into the perfect. Situation he was

1069
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: going to be there on the field With Jordan whittington

1070
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: And Xavier, worthy and instead those were your two leading.

1071
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: RECEIVERS i Think worthy went for seven hundred and sixty,

1072
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: Yards whittington had six point fifty. Two they didn't even

1073
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: have a thousand yard receiver this, year which is a.

1074
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: Shame it may very well indicate That Isaiah nayer would

1075
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: have been that, guy but this is also a valuable

1076
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: lesson for you when it comes to win total. Betting you,

1077
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: know there are a lot of times where you look

1078
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,919
Speaker 1: at preseason over underwin totals and you're shocked at how

1079
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: low some of them. Are, Now texas was pretty high up,

1080
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: there but in general, terms you look and you, SAY

1081
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: i can't believe how low that win total, is and

1082
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: then you lick your index. Finger touch my lip, there

1083
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: kind of enticing IF i, do say so, myself but

1084
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: you lick that index. Finger you crack open your preview

1085
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: magazine and you look at that, nice, pristine unbothered, roster

1086
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: and you, say how could this team only have a

1087
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: win total of? Seven this looks like a nine win.

1088
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: Team it probably. Is that team's not gonna finish the.

1089
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: Season you're gonna have Red sharpie through several of those,

1090
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: names unless you become the first team in history to

1091
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: never have an. Injury, well odds makers have to take

1092
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: that possibility into, account and they have to bake it

1093
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: in because if odds makers were to just put out

1094
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: an over under win total on the open betting market

1095
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't factor in, injuries they'd get hammered to death

1096
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 1: on unders because everyone would bet, unders where everyone who's

1097
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: smart would bet. Unders like we did With. Texas, actually

1098
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: we made money off betting the under On texas because

1099
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: it was too. High and it's because in, part stuff

1100
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: like this. Happened it's not that you want it to.

1101
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: Happen it's not even that you know when it's gonna.

1102
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: Happen it's just to one degree or. Another with every,

1103
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: program it's an. Inevitability there will be. Injuries can you

1104
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: limit them and keep them from being your star players

1105
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: is the great wild, Card but that stuff has to

1106
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: be factored. In those oddsmakers' jobs are not. Easy those

1107
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: numbers are not easy to. Set but sometimes when they're

1108
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: a little bit lower than maybe you, think because you

1109
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: may be thinking in best case, terms they can't put

1110
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,919
Speaker 1: out a number that's best case on that. Front next,

1111
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: up this one's interesting And i'm gonna say it hit

1112
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: here is here's the. Prediction Nick, singleton running, back freshman

1113
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: running back For Penn. State he will be twenty twenty

1114
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: Two's Treveon. Henderson he's gonna rush one hundred plus. YARDS

1115
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: i think he meant a thousand plus yards and ten

1116
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: plus touchdowns this. Season he did rush for over one thousand.

1117
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: Yards he did rush for over ten. Touchdowns that. Hit

1118
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: and if you look at the stat, Profile Traveon henderson's

1119
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one With Ohio state was. Phenomenal he averaged

1120
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: six point eight one yards per. Carry Nick, singleton on

1121
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: a few less attempts this past, year had one thousand

1122
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: and sixty one yards had six point eight yards per.

1123
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: Carry almost. Identical if you calibrate for the fact That

1124
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: henderson had more, attempts they're almost identical stat. Profiles the

1125
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: difference Is Traveon henderson a lot more active in the

1126
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: passing game Than Nick singleton was this past. Year watch

1127
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: that change this coming. Fall that's probably a focal point

1128
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: Of Nick singleton's game this. Fall, Also Nick singleton split

1129
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: carries a, lot so they didn't run him to. Death

1130
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: that is the approach that any sound minded coaching staff

1131
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: is taking now with running. Backs no one's running a

1132
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: running back forty times a, game or at least you

1133
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to because you should be recruiting well, enough

1134
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 1: which they are At Penn. State next, up this one

1135
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: just this was dead on. Arrival, jacob what are you?

1136
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: Thinking jacob, Said No big twelve Or big ten team

1137
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: will make the college football. Playoff narrator seventy five percent

1138
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: of the College Football playoff Was big ten Or big.

1139
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Twelve how was this ever gonna? HAPPEN i can't BELIEVE

1140
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: i only put a nine on. This this should have

1141
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: been our first. Ten The big, TWELVE i get even

1142
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: The big twelve wasn't left out, Though but The big, Twelve,

1143
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: YEAH i could have seen. That how in the world

1144
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: was The big ten going to be left? Out did

1145
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: you see those? Schedules how was The big ten going

1146
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 1: to be left? Out if Not, michigan Then Ohio. State

1147
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: if Not Ohio, state Then. Michigan and if neither of,

1148
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: them Then James franklin And Penn state's probably shocked the

1149
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: world or someone's done something incredible in The. West so,

1150
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: yeah it's. Ugh this was a disastrous, prediction not quite

1151
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: as disastrous as the next. ONE i say all this

1152
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: in good fun that you get to live in my world,

1159
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:24,520

1160
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:29,479
Speaker 1: is A Heisman, Fine i'm, Sorry i'm. Sorry can we start?

1162
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: A heisman finalist with His heisman moment coming At, Michigan and,

1163
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Okay Casey thompson had a seventeen to ten touchdown interception

1164
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: ratio this. Year nebraska went four and. EIGHT i don't

1165
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: even know If Casey thomps could Find New York city

1166
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: on a. Map he probably, can but it was not

1167
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: going to be because he went there this year as

1168
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: A heisman, finalist AND i don't think that was ever

1169
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: in the. Cards AND i said that In august BECAUSE

1170
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: i put a nine point one on The boldness scale

1171
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: on this. One Casey thompson's head coach was out by

1172
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: week four and that's all she wrote on that. Prediction
