1
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: About this. Three shows per week is back. Now. I

2
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: know it looks like the brave face, but don't let

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: the brave face fool you, guys. I am moderately to

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: severely shake, and I'm concerned. And I'm concerned because I

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: think we did predictions to it, and I told Jesse

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: this may happen, and we did it. Anyway. Now I

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: wake up this morning and I'm not really sure of

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: anything to the point where I think I may need

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: to adjust some things. I don't know if you've ever

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: felt that before, but I feel it. Welcome in. We're

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: jampacked HIATAPA Comfortable, Low Due Point, Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Tuesday,

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: August twentieth, The Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four.

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: Five biggest Saturdays in the sport this year. We're leading

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: the show with it tonight. Everyone knows about October twelfth,

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: hopefully all of you know about October twelfth, but that's

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: not it. This is a college football season, so we

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: like to spread it around throughout the entire year. Obviously,

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: any Saturday is a big Saturday, some bigger than others.

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd had a little take a while back. As

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: it turns out on Oklahoma, but it mysteriously surfaced for

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: many of us today. I had never heard it. I

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: heard it today. Some asked, what do you think about it?

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that. We've done many reactionary segments, but

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: there was enough meat on the bone. I'm going to

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: react to it tonight. How about that a reaction segment.

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: Courtney Morgan got a big time raise at Alabama. That's

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: the general manager there, and it kind of hit the

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: reset button on the college football personnel industry in the process. Now,

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: some of that doesn't concern you, A lot of it

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: actually does concern you, and I'm just gonna try to

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: explain it. Also, Team Predictions got a couple more tonight.

32
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna do Tennessee, We're gonna do Penn State. We've

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: got Bold Predictions. We got all sorts of things going on.

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Sumner, Georgia, Bloomington, Indiana, Prescott, Arizona, Ames, Iowa.

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I led the show tonight with concern.

36
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you now, I

37
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: was gonna save this for later in the show. Doing

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: my predictions. Some of them are going to be the same,

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: but there are some mistakes that I have made. I

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: think some minor corrections that need to be made. So

41
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: circle your calendar, call your Mima, text your mom, you know,

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: whatever you need to do Thursday night. Sort of a

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: prediction two point zero around here, and the constitution says,

44
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: as long as week zero hasn't started, I can change

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: my picks. This coming from the same guy I think

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: who changed his predictions in week six last year. So

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: really it's nebulous at best. At Lake Kick, Josh, make

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: sure you're following those socials. We've been slowly leaking things.

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: Many of you have noticed. I haven't said a word

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: about it, Like this little logo over my back here,

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: that's new. I didn't say a word about it. But

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: I promise you there are some more things coming that

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: I will soon be able to speak on that I

54
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: can't speak on quite yet. Here's what I can't speak on.

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: Let's dive into the show stack my papers. It's different

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: than a paper pop. If you're new around here, anytime

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: you hear that paper pop, that means business has come. No,

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: this is just paper stack. I got a lot to

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: get to tonight. What are the five biggest Saturdays in

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: college football? This year. I don't think anyone who has

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: glanced at their schedule can look past October twelfth. October

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: twelfth is clearly the monster Saturday of college football season

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: this year. That's week seven for those of you who

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: like to keep tracking those terms. This is the day

65
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: where at the same time or within about a six

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: hour span, Ohio State will go to Oregon, Ole Miss

67
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: will go to LSU, Penn State will go to USC,

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: and Texas will face Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl. Now

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: those are just your four headliners. I mean those are

70
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: four like Grade A headline matchups. This same day in

71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: the SEC is Florida versus Tennessee day. This is also

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: the same day that Kansas State goes to face Dion

73
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: and Colorado Washington at Iowa Jedfish rolling into Iowa City,

74
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: and then that bottom one there. If you're listening on podcasts,

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: you can't see this, but those watching on YouTube, I

76
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: got syracuseit in C State. Now some are looking at

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: that send. Why is that on the list? You need

78
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: to understand your schedule dynamics here. Syracuse does not play

79
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: all that tough schedule this year in C State's got

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: a pretty navigable schedule as well. They could have much

81
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: better records than you think they'll probably be capable of

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: by this point. So just pay attention to that game. Now,

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: that's one that's going to be talked about. Okay, October

84
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: twelfth is going to be talked about a lot. But

85
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: what about four more that I want to get to

86
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: a few weeks after that? Week eleven? This is going deep.

87
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: This is going into November. Now, November ninth is week eleven. Oh,

88
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: this one's very very big as well. Community Georgia at

89
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: Ole Miss as the preseason rankings sit, that's a top

90
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: six matchup. JP Pole's not too far off of that

91
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: for the record. So you got Georgia at Old Miss,

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Bama at LSU same day, Oklahoma at Missouri same day. Now,

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: of course we're we're eleven weeks into the season here,

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: So Oklahoma, they've already played Tennessee, they've gone to Auburn,

95
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: they've played Texas. What's the record at that point, we

96
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: don't know, So all we have to go on right

97
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: now is preseason rankings. Florida's at Texas that day. Again,

98
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: many of you don't expect Florida to do much this year,

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: but all I can do is I can tell you

100
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: I've got Florida power rated as the twenty first best

101
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: team in the country. What you think their record is

102
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: going to be is irrelevant to how you power rate

103
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: the team. So we're looking at a couple of top one,

104
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: top five team, one top twenty ish caliber team there.

105
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: Even if Florida isn't much to write home about record wise,

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: no one's predicting that kind of upset for Texas. But

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: yet it's a landmine sort of game. And that's the

108
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: top of the card. The mid card on Week eleven slate,

109
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: which I would argue is not mid card at all.

110
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: It's just a little bit further down. I can't claim

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: we were going alphabetically either. You know what, Florida State

112
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dames are a really big game. That's a top ten

113
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: matchup in the preseason. That's up in South Bend, Florida

114
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: State playing in Northern Indiana in early November. Just keep

115
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: an eye on that. Washington's at Penn State that day. Now,

116
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: that game could be the whiteout game. Remember, we've got

117
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: the greatest sport in the face of the earth. We've

118
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: got the best traditions on the face of the earth.

119
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: Penn State's wide out is among the very best traditions

120
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: in a tradition rich sport. And we've got television networks

121
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: paying hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to acquire

122
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: the rights. Also, they can make the time slots such

123
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: that we can't get the traditions. Wonderful anyway, So Washington

124
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: may be the white out game for Penn State. Clemson's

125
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: at Virginia Tech that day. Now, Virginia Tech has already

126
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: played who at this point, They've gone to Miami. They've

127
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: got some early season tests, but there's no early season

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: tests that Virginia Virginia Tech faces where you say, nah,

129
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: they can't get past that one Virginia Tech man. They

130
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: could be in a situation where they're contending for the

131
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: ACC championship and Clemson comes to town. Miami goes to

132
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech that same day. Some of you may be

133
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: watching college football for the first time in your lives. Welcome,

134
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the table. We've got room for all. I

135
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: need to tell you that Miami Georgia Tech game. If

136
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: you want to go and make yourself familiar with some

137
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: stuff that happened last year in absence of a much

138
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: stronger term. Just go check out the ending of that

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Miami Georgia Tech game. So that's a loaded slate. Week

140
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: eleven's a loaded slate later and this is rivalry weekend

141
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: in week fourteen, so of course I've got to fit

142
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: rivalry weekend. We had a debate internally in the office

143
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: today should we even include rivalry week because that's like

144
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: a given, and the answer was, of course, we should

145
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: include rivalry week. Michigan at Ohio State, Texas at Texas

146
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: A and M. There is pound for pound, not a

147
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: game I'm looking forward to seeing more this year than

148
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: Texas going to Texas A and M. Not a neutral

149
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: site game. We're going into Kyle Field for that one

150
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Oklahoma at You need to make yourself familiar with this.

151
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: So this is the week where if you've got a

152
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: traditional rival, you're playing them. But Oklahoma Texas happens in

153
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the year, so they're not playing each

154
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: other last week. LSU doesn't have anyone that they're going

155
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: to traditionally be paired with during rivalry week, so all

156
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we get Oklahoma versus LSU dropped in

157
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: our lab. We of course have notre Dame at USC

158
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: dropped in our lab. We've got Florida at Florida State

159
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: on this day. We've got South Carolina at Clemson on

160
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: this day. We've got Auburn at Alabama on this day.

161
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: And remember Washington and Oregon played twice last year, Oregon

162
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: zero for two. Probably a different dynamic this year, but

163
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: again that's why we played the games instead of just

164
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: predicting them on this interesting material called paper. Next up,

165
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: all right, we get back into the heat of October here.

166
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: October twenty sixth is week nine, so we're a little

167
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: bit deeper in the season here as well. Missouri's got,

168
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: by my memory, one game against the top ten opponent,

169
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: preseason top ten opponent this year, and it's this day.

170
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: It's Missouri at Alabama. Oklahoma goes to Ole Miss on

171
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: this day. You know, when people talk about Old miss

172
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: they say they got to play Georgia all they got

173
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: to go to LSU. No one really talks about, Oh,

174
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: just Oklahoma coming into Oxford. Florida State at Miami is

175
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: on this same day. I mean that could have acc

176
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: championship applications. It has its own internal implication baked in

177
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: because it should be one of the best rivalry games

178
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: in college football. We talked about this couple of shows ago.

179
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 1: Nebraska's at Ohio State. Now, you know, there are a

180
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: lot of folks who think Nebraska will be undefeated when

181
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: they go there. And that's interesting because it's not Week two,

182
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: it's Week nine. So if Nebraska's totin a seven or

183
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: eight O record into the Horseshoe, boy, we haven't felt

184
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: hype like that around Nebraska since the nineties. And then

185
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: on the undercard of Week nine, Rutgers is at USC.

186
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't want you laughing at this because Rutgers has

187
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: a very workable schedule this year as well. They got

188
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: some veteran leadership on that team. It's Greg Ciano in

189
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: year three. Do your research, kids, Penn State's at Wisconsin

190
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: this day. I'm gonna come back to that one in

191
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: a second. Just bookmark that ls Use at Texas A

192
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: and M and Kansas at Kansas State. And if I'm

193
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: not mistaken, Jesse. Kansas State is fresh off a trip

194
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: to West Virginia the week before, one of the bigger

195
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: trap spots on their schedule. Okay, this Penn State Wisconsin game,

196
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: you know we're really big on the by advantage slash

197
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: by disadvantage big time by advantage for Penn State. Here,

198
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: Penn State is off a buy, so Penn State's rested.

199
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: They go on the road. Wisconsin is off of back

200
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: to back road games. I think one of them is

201
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: to Rutgers, but most importantly, the week before they Penn State,

202
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: they go to Washington, so they got one of those

203
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: cross country trips. Wisconsin never takes the second leg of

204
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: a back to back road stretch, and then they come

205
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: home to play arrested Penn State. And by the way, Colin,

206
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I doubt you just randomly have Wisconsin schedule in there,

207
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: but I think I have it up here. There may

208
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: not have been a better year ever to be a

209
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: Wisconsin season ticket holder than this year, because you guys,

210
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: have you got Oregon coming in there, You've got Penn

211
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: State coming in there, You've got Alabama coming in there,

212
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: and there are some folks around here. I was looking

213
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: at NC State's home schedule last night. It's brutal. Listen

214
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: to this. They get Bama at home, they get Penn

215
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: State at home, and they get Oregon at home Minnesota

216
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: to wrap up the year on a Friday. That is

217
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: value you invest for a decade to get that kind

218
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: of home stretch. Now the South Dakota tickets may be

219
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: able to be had at bargain basement prices. Perdue comes

220
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: in there, probably without a ton of fanfare, but still,

221
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: how about those Big three? All right? And lastly, the

222
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: last of the Big five weeks in college football this year,

223
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: not that we limit it to five. I would like

224
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: to take you to September twenty eight. It's Week five.

225
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: Georgia's at Alabama could very well be the game of

226
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: the year. It's been the matchup along with Ohio State

227
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Michigan that sort of has defined the last few years

228
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: in college football. Arizona at Utah is that day as well.

229
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State at Kansas State, two of the biggest games

230
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve are both on this day, September

231
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: twenty eighth. Louisville's at Notre Dame. Notre Dame, in many

232
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: people's estimations, kind of play a three game season this year.

233
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: They open at A and M. They got FSU up

234
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: there later in the year. They also get Louisville in there.

235
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: So those are the three big games for Notre Dame

236
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: this year. That's not all though. Also in week five,

237
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: we've got Arkansas at Texas A and M. Well, not

238
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: at Texas A and M, although I would contend Arkansas

239
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: needs to get out of this playing in Arlington every

240
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: year as quick as they can, and I think they are.

241
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: I think this maybe the last year you got Oklahoma

242
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: at Auburn. That's the week after OU has faced Tennessee.

243
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: They go to Auburn. That two game stretch I think

244
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: will serve to define what Oklahoma is. This year, va

245
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Tech is at Miami on a Friday night. Oh the

246
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: possibilities there By the way, if you have if you

247
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: have access to private aviation, Oh the possibilities. Kentucky at

248
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: Ole Miss is this day as well. Again, I just

249
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: mentioned Oklahoma going to Oxford Kentucky. Think we've got them

250
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: power rated in the mid twenties in the JP Pole

251
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: twenty sixth. I believe just hohum, no one's talking about it.

252
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean Old Miss is viewed as having an extremely

253
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: favorable schedule, and by SEC standards, they do. They don't

254
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: have an easy schedule. There are two different concepts there,

255
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: So those are the five weeks. Now, I put this

256
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: out earlier tonight or earlier today. I asked you guys,

257
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: and I got all kind of responses. So this is

258
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: college football, as many of you pointed out, miss college football.

259
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: So if we've got a Saturday I mean, we only

260
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: get twelve of them per team. We have to we

261
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: have to cherish them and cherish them. We will happy

262
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: to have all of you along. We're gonna be on

263
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: the road every week this fall. That entire tour will

264
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: be fueled by Quick Trip. Literally, the whole New Saturday

265
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: Tour will be fueled by Quick Trip. Now, you guys

266
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: know in the past when we've been on the road

267
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: with our tours, whether it's the Renaissance Tour or the

268
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Every Given Saturday Tour or the Once upon a Saturday

269
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Tour or the whole New Saturday Tour this year, you

270
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: know that we give away free stuff and we're sort

271
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: of we're sort of aggressive with the concept. But like

272
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: we're going to Florida for our week one game, Miami

273
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: at Florida. That's our first stop on the whole New

274
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Saturday Tour fueled by Quick Trip. I'll give some stuff away.

275
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: I may toss some free tanks of gas. I may

276
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: throw an Academy gift card out there that's been our

277
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: modus operandi in the past, and then a couple of

278
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: years ago. So just to give you a little backstory

279
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. The Actually, i'll tell you

280
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: what I'll do because I don't want the QR code

281
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: on the screen when I tell this story, So keep

282
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: the QR code up. This right here is just the

283
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: app that's the quick trip out. I am strongly encourage

284
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: you guys to download that number one, because even if

285
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: you don't watch this show, you ought to have the

286
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: thing downloaded. But number two, especially if you watch this show,

287
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: there may soon be some very special carve outs for

288
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: you there. All right now, a few years back, just

289
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: a little quick story here, and then I'm gonna get

290
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: right back into the show cause I got to talk

291
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: about this Colin Cowherd Oklahoma thing. A few years ago.

292
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: We were an up and coming college football show. We

293
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: were trying to make a name for ourselves. Me and

294
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: director Colin were hanging out in the old building and

295
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: I say, Colin, you know, we have this whole Peate

296
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: State sub brand under Late Kick. How can we how

297
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: can we go full gorilla marketing with this? And we

298
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: were like, well, we got fans out there, what if

299
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: we encouraged them to show support for the show publicly.

300
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: So we did, and I just made a little passing

301
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: joke on the show and I said, some of you

302
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: ought to show up to College Game Day this Saturday

303
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: hold up a Peate state sign. Well, the problem is

304
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: like fifteen of you did it that very Saturday, and

305
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: then we got banned from College Game Day and ever

306
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: since then they have policed those signs and you're not

307
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: even allowed to take one on the premises. Now, I

308
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: gave you, guys, child I of supremacy. I gave you

309
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,359
Speaker 1: an Academy gift card. I have it on good authority

310
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: that the fine folks at Quick Trip are even more

311
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: about that life than I am. So while you may

312
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: stand to earn a free tank of gas, if you

313
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: pose it quick Trip and tag me on Twitter and

314
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: I see it, I may toss you a free tank

315
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: of gas, these folks are probably willing to give away

316
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more than just a free tank of

317
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: gas if you get Quick Trip signage on the set

318
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: of College Game Day. Now that's out of my control. Okay,

319
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: this is like a non sanctioned match in old school attitude. Erawwe,

320
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: I can't say that I encouraged it because legally it

321
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: could get me in trouble, but I also am not

322
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: going to discourage it. And if you read between the lines,

323
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: then you read between the lines. But no matter what

324
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: you do before kickoff, understand that when the games kickoff

325
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: on Saturday and we're there throughout the year, it's fueled

326
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: by quick trip. We appreciate them, all right. What is

327
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: happening in the state of national media as it relates

328
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: to the Oklahoma Sooners. I don't do segments like I'm

329
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: about to do very often, mainly because I don't listen

330
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: to anyone else talk about the sport, not because I

331
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: don't like them. It's because I don't want it to

332
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: poison or influence our show, let me put it that way.

333
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: As a result, I end up saying what someone else

334
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: said before and have no idea they said it, and

335
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: then I get accused of regurgitating things. And that's not

336
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: a good thing. But that's okay. An exception is going

337
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: to be made tonight. Colin. Here's your endpoint. So all

338
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: of a sudden today a whole bunch of people, for

339
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: whatever reason, started tagging this take that Colin Cowherd had

340
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: in June of twenty twenty three about Oklahoma. I did

341
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: not hear it at the time. I had no idea

342
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: he said it. For some reason, it just popped up

343
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: in everyone's feed today, mine include so a lot of

344
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: you asked me, can you talk about it on the show? Sure,

345
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it. It's a very atypical segment for

346
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: our show, but I'll talk about it because I think

347
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: that there is some proper logic in the points that

348
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: he made, but I think there is some very improper application,

349
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: Like I think he flat out whift on the spirit

350
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: of the take. But yet I think some of the tones,

351
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: like some of the themes woven into it make total sense.

352
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: So I'm about to have Colin play too. Colin direct

353
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: Colin play two pieces of sound, the first one just

354
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: to let you know I'm going to tee it up.

355
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: He had been talking about Nebraska, how Nebraska used to

356
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: be a superpower and then Nebraska kind of got left

357
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: behind as the sport changed, and so Nebraska went from

358
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: being a superpower to being irrelevant on the national championship

359
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: scene because what used to work for Nebraska no longer

360
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: worked for Nebraska. And his entire premise was could Oklahoma

361
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: be the next Nebraska? So again, this is from June

362
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, So keep in mind, now he

363
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: had just seen Lincoln Riley come off or not Lincoln

364
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: Riley had seen him leave. He had seen Brent Venables

365
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: come off a six and seven season, so he had

366
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: not seen the double digit win season that is to come.

367
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 1: But a lot of the evidence was already there and

368
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: maybe he was just seeing it differently. So is Oklahoma

369
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: going to be the next Nebraska? Is the premise Colin Rowland.

370
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: Keep your eye on Oklahoma. Is Oklahoma going to be

371
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: the second program in our adult lives that disappears Number one?

372
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: The state no longer produces big numbers of players of

373
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: the Sooners twenty six signees and their recruiting class three

374
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: or from the state of Oklahoma. That's having to convince

375
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: kids in the South, convince kids in Texas come to us. Secondly,

376
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 2: they joined a tougher conference like Nebraska. This is going

377
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: to be harder. Most of those Southern kids have grown

378
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: up on the SEC. Those football player want to stay

379
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: with traditional SEC powers and number three in an offensive era,

380
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: they hired a defensive coach and he was completely utterly

381
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: over his skis. They didn't get the coach right.

382
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: So man, I think he nailed it and whipped completely

383
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: all at one time. So let's break this down for

384
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: just a second. The lack of in state talent is

385
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: a total misnomer Oklahoma, if they wanted to could go

386
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: land twenty five kids in the state of Oklahoma. There

387
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: probably aren't twenty five kids in the state of Oklahoma

388
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: to the level needed to commit to Oklahoma. But don't

389
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: misunderstand now. There absolutely are fewer players of that caliber

390
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: in the state of Oklahoma pre year than there are Georgia,

391
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: than there are Florida, then there are Texas. That is

392
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: a gross misunderstanding of the situation when it comes to

393
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: Oklahoma recruiting. You want to talk about the lack of

394
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: state talent, it's true, but it's also irrelevant. I'll tell

395
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: you why, because if you know anything about the Red

396
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: River and south of it down to Dallas, Oklahoma owns

397
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: that area every bit as much as Texas does. In recruiting,

398
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: Oklahoma kills it in Texas, specifically the Dallas area. Oklahoma

399
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty three recruiting class had thirteen states

400
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: represented in the twenty twenty four class, twelve states represented.

401
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: Brent Venables has been a top ten recruiter every year

402
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: he's been at Oklahoma, So the reason they don't land

403
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: a ton of kids in Oklahoma is not a bad thing.

404
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: The reason they don't land them is because they can

405
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: go elsewhere and get better players. Because this is not Georgia,

406
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: this is not Alabama. They do have to broaden their net,

407
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: and the follow up is they do it. They do

408
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: it very well. They do it exceptionally well in Texas.

409
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: So the lack of in state talent represented on the

410
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: roster is totally irrelevant to what the quality of team is.

411
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: They've also landed two top ten portal classes in the

412
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: past three cycles and got a big time defensive tackle

413
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: that LSU wanted badly to choose Oklahoma over LSU this

414
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: last cycle. And also, man, if you follow recruiting, if

415
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: you're really in the weeds of this stuff, state lines

416
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: do matter. But state lines have never mattered less than

417
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: they matter now in recruiting, in the portal nil and

418
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: also advanced digital and social media age. The world's never

419
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: felt smaller. The country you know, the map has never

420
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: felt smaller. State lines have never been less relevant to

421
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: where a recruit wants to go. In the old school,

422
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: in the nineties and the two thousands, it meant something

423
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: to cross the Chattahoochee River or to cross the Red River.

424
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: Now it's just I play Xbox with that guy from

425
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: that city called Tulsa all the time, and I'm from Denton.

426
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: You don't even think about them being two different states

427
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: the way a kid in nineteen ninety five would. That's

428
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: the first thing. The second thing is playing in a

429
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: tougher conference. Oklahoma's going to a tougher conference. That's true,

430
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: and if that turns you off, you're not going to

431
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: be the head coach at Oklahoma to begin with. More

432
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: on that in a second. But secondly, there's a trade

433
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: off to joining a tougher conference, and that trade off,

434
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: as it relates to talent acquisition is all of a sudden,

435
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: your games are on in Florida and Georgia and the

436
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: Carolinas and Mississippi and Louisiana and Alabama every Saturday. Care

437
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: about you down there because they're gonna have to play you. Therefore,

438
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: the kids in those states are exposed to your brand

439
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: more than willing to go play at Oklahoma. Oklahoma fits

440
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: the SEC profile like a glove. This is not some

441
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: oil and water situation. And thirdly, hiring a defensive coach

442
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: in an offensive era, how about go hire the right coach.

443
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: Hiring the right coach is the key. You know, Georgia

444
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: hired the right coach. They couldn't have cared less than

445
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: these defensive minded. Oregon's hired the right one. They couldn't

446
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: care less these defensive minded. I'd also encourage folks to

447
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: take a look at the regression back to the middle

448
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: of overall style of college football. Points per game have

449
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: decreased the last couple of years. So if anything, you

450
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 1: saw an explode, but you didn't see a perma trend

451
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: towards offense over defense in this sport. Take a look

452
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: at who won the national title last year, by the

453
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: way and how they did it. And also, there's probably

454
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: nobody that knows their head coach better than the folks

455
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: inside the building at Oklahoma know their head coach. I

456
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: point that out because they just extended him. They've seen

457
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: all they need to see. They already extended Brenton Vinables.

458
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: So I understand now, I understand where Colin Cowhurt's going on.

459
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: That I understand completely that if you're not careful, the

460
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: winds of change in this sport can leave you behind.

461
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: That's true. It's just not going to victimize Oklahoma. It's

462
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: not in the process of doing it. It will not

463
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: do it. Now, there was a second part to this,

464
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have Colin tee it up and I'll

465
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: react to it on the back end.

466
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: And why did Lincoln Riley leave Because he was joining

467
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: the SEC looked at it, looked at the Bamas and

468
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: the Georgia's, and the Lsus and the Floridas and those

469
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: states and those kids and their leanings, and USC was

470
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: wide open. By the way, you think Lincoln Riley didn't

471
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: have a gut feeling somehow, some way kind of felt

472
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: Oklahoma to the SEC was going to be a hard pull.

473
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: You go into Alabama and Georgia and LSU's backyard. Welcome

474
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 2: to SEC football.

475
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: Let me grant you all that. Just for the sake

476
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: of time and argument, Let's say everything he just suggested

477
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: there is true. You could have multiple truths in the

478
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: room here. You could have the truth that Lincoln Riley

479
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: was excellent at Oklahoma. It could also be that Lincoln

480
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: Riley was not the guy to take this program into

481
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: this conference. Both of those things could be true. You know,

482
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: a third thing could be true, and that's they had

483
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: the right guy on speed dital of the entire time,

484
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: and it's the current head coach at Oklahoma, Brint and Venables.

485
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: This is not some guarantee of anything, just like there's

486
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: no guarantee that Lincoln Riley's gonna get it served up

487
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: to him on a silver platter when he goes to

488
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: USC because it hasn't happened there. You know, if you've

489
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: got any reservations about your ability to recruit in the SEC,

490
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: you don't need to be the head coach at Oklahoma.

491
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: If you've got any reservations about your style working in

492
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: the SEC, you don't need to be the head coach

493
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma. And there's nothing wrong with that. Okay, you

494
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: go your way, they'll go their way. But I just

495
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: want you to remember this year, five years down the road.

496
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: I want you to remember, for better or for worse,

497
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: there was no massive coaching search here, there was no

498
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: broad net cast across the country. Lincoln Riley left. It

499
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: stunned them. They dusted themselves off, and a few days

500
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: later they had Brent Vennables in Norman, and that was it.

501
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: It's one of the most buttoned down athletic departments. It's

502
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: one of these strongest cultures in college athletics multiple sports,

503
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: and they've got their act together. They went and got

504
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: who they wanted, They had him handpicked. They've already extended

505
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: his contract. So the logic tracks here. The logic that

506
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: if you're not airful, dynamics in college football can change

507
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: and leave you behind totally accurate. It's happened before. He

508
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: pointed out that it's happened before. There's a sweet spot

509
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: that college football can have you in any given point.

510
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: The Texas is and Alabama's and Ohio states will always

511
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 1: be there. There is no change that's going to come

512
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: to this sport, as he pointed out earlier in that segment,

513
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: that's going to leave them behind. There are changes that

514
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 1: could come to the sport that could do the kind

515
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: of things that happened to Nebraska. So the sweet spot

516
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: of college football does change. Some will always be in it.

517
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is just one of them. Oklahoma's going to be

518
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: at the head table of college football for a long time.

519
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is at the head table of college football. They've

520
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: been there for a long time, and they will be

521
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: there for a long time. There is no seismic shift

522
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: in this sport that's doing anything other than tilting the

523
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: table a little bit further in the direction of Oklahoma.

524
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: I would actually counter the argument and make the counter

525
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: that the sport is more favorable. The dynamics in college

526
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: football are more favorable to Oklahoma now than they have

527
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: been over the past twenty years, and over the past

528
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: twenty years they've been one of the best programs in

529
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: the country. So I get the logic, man, but I

530
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: totally disagree with the application of it. I will agree

531
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: with you, however, or I will agree to disagree with

532
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: you happily if we're doing it at Academy Sports and

533
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: Outdoors any isisle. You guys picked the isle Academy Sports

534
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: and Outdoors as you set for back to school, got

535
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: you set for back to sports? Showed you the other

536
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: night one of our lovely viewers found some coyote juice there.

537
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: If you don't know what it is, look it up.

538
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: And the point that I always try and hammer home

539
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: is they've got pretty much anything you need for sporting goods,

540
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: anything you need for outdoor grilling, camping, etc. But they've

541
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: also got a lot of stuff you don't even know exists,

542
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: or maybe you know exists, but you don't think it's

543
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: an academy. Academy Sports and Outdoors has been one of

544
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: our partners nearly from day one. They make this show

545
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: free of charge for you. We always appreciate them. If

546
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: you have one in your backyard, go check it out tomorrow.

547
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: If you don't have one in your backyard, Academy dot com.

548
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: As you set up right now, it is August twentieth,

549
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: So I know a lot is changing. If you've got kids, especially,

550
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: A lot's changing in your life. If you are a kid,

551
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: if you're in high school, if you're in college, a

552
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: lot's changing in your life. You probably need some things

553
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: you didn't need two months ago. They've got it on

554
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: one of the miniisles or web pages of Academy Sports

555
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: and Outdoors and Academy dot Com. All right, let's predict

556
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: some stuff. We've got bold predictions on the back end

557
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: of the show tonight. But first, what's Tennessee's record going

558
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: to be this year? A lot of bubbling momentum around

559
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: this program, at least if you take my word for it, Well,

560
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: here's what you need to know about Tennessee this year.

561
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: Their over underwind total has been interesting. At FanDuel, it

562
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: was eight and a half, then it shot up to

563
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: nine and a half. Nott's come back down to eight

564
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 1: and a half. Now, of course, you got to lay

565
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot more to bet that over than you do

566
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: the under. It's heavily juice to the over. Seventh best

567
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: odds to win the SEC, twelfth best odds to win

568
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: the whole thing, the college football playoff. So it's a

569
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: deep conference, at least in preseason terms. In the SEC

570
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: this year. Let's talk about what we think we know.

571
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: I think I know these things about Tennessee. I think

572
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: I know the offense will be much closer to the

573
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two version than last year's version. I expect

574
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: the passing game to scale significantly. They had the best

575
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: passing game in the country, best points per game in

576
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: the country in twenty twenty two. Last year points per

577
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: game they were tied for thirty fifth. Yeah, that's going up.

578
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: Niko a Aamaliava. Don't need to have seen him start

579
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: a whole year to know he's a stud at least

580
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: enough to make that number go up. Significantly. I think

581
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 1: their run game will always be good under Josh Hipel.

582
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: One of the great misnomers about Josh Hipel is it's

583
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: just this shot offense. It's just this like air raid

584
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: four verts every play, Mike Leach passing golf. It's not that.

585
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: It's not that they run the ball consistently, run the ball.

586
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: Got one of the best rushing games in the country

587
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: every year, and yet people get amnesia and they totally

588
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: forget about that. The second thing I think I know

589
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: about Tennessee James Pierce on the edge for them, probably

590
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the country preseason All American,

591
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: maybe the top edge player in America this year, and

592
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: at the very least he's up there advying for that.

593
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: And there are probably some impact players in this team

594
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: that are on the defensive side that you wouldn't expect

595
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: because everyone thinks offense when they think Tennessee. One of

596
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: the big questions we have about this team is about

597
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: the other side opposite James Pierce. We'll talk about that

598
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: in a second. A third thing I think I know

599
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: is this program has major scale up energy about it

600
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: right now, and that doesn't necessarily impact their win loss record.

601
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: What it does is it puts them in position to

602
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: where if they win ten or eleven games, if they

603
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: have a great year, if they have another special year

604
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: like they did year before last, they could really be

605
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: off to the races. I think they already are. I

606
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: think this year's result will just further bolster that. But

607
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you aren't as bullish on

608
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee as I am, so a lot of you have

609
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 1: to see it to believe it. That's fine. Here's what

610
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: I want to know. I want to know how they're

611
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: going to backfill losing all these pieces in the secondary.

612
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: They lost like between one hundred and fifty and two

613
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: hundred starts in the secondary last year to this year.

614
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: They lost five of six guys back there. And they

615
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: also lost Jordan Thomas early in fall camp and he

616
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: was probably running as the one at Nickel for them.

617
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: So not only are they replacing a lot of guys

618
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: who left from last year, they've already had injury strike

619
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: that group this year. That's the first thing, because there's

620
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: a big difference in having to you know, be first

621
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: to forty every week because you've got the same problems

622
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: this year that LSU Secondary had last year. There's a

623
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: big difference between that and not being a great pass

624
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: defense but being plenty serviceable. And are they going to

625
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: be the former or the latter? Another thing that I

626
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: want to know, how many difference makers are on this team?

627
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: How many game breakers are on this team? We look

628
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: past quarterback for this because every quarterback is going to

629
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: directly impact the game in a big way one way

630
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: or the other. Bruce McCoy is still on this team.

631
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: Squirrel White still on this team. They went and got Brazzle,

632
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: the transfer wide receiver from Tulane, Arian carter linebacker. You know,

633
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: Elijah Harring linebacker. There are a lot of guys who

634
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: are former big names and recruiting very talented. Do we

635
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: have any game breakers? Cause the third thing that I

636
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: want to know is, well, it's kind of bleeds into

637
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: the second thing. I know. I've got James Pearce. I

638
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: know he fits this description. Do I have anyone on

639
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 1: the opposite side of that defensive line that can do that?

640
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: Or or is all the attention on him all right? Now?

641
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: The third thing I want to know, Niko Iamaliava physically

642
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: has all the traits you need. Josh Heipelin his staff

643
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: fully believe in him. There's always an adjustment period in

644
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: this game, especially if you're in a Big ten or

645
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: an SEC environment where you got a lot of really

646
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: highly paid coaches, a lot of deep coaching stats, a

647
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: lot of analysts off the field with a lot of

648
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: time on their hands, and they're just focused on you.

649
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: And if you're a first your starter, you're making your

650
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: first go around the SEC. A lot of really really

651
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: good football minds are singularly focused on stopping you, and

652
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: sometimes they succeed, which begs the question, how good is

653
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: Niko Yama Liava at adjusting to the league's adjustments. It's

654
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: no different than a big league hitter when he comes

655
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: up and he starts hot and then all of a

656
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: sudden they figure out, wow, off speed low in end,

657
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: he can't handle for some reason, either yank's at foul

658
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: or he's over the top of it. So let's just

659
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: pepper him with that until he shows that he can adjust. Now,

660
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: sometimes they do adjust hands inside the ball, middle away,

661
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: we're good. Sometimes they don't adjust, and sometimes you're back

662
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: down in TRIPAA after you were on the cover of

663
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated the prior month, and you're like, what happened.

664
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes that happens with quarterbacks as well. So that's the

665
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: great unknown with any guy who gets his first chance

666
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: to start. The coaching staff here really interesting, really dangerous,

667
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: and underrated coaching staff. So Hypel the model has graded

668
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: as a top twenty five head coach. But Hypel is

669
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: a four point five star offensive coordinator. If you just

670
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: look at him as an offensive coordinator, he's right up

671
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: there with some of the best in the country. He

672
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: has got an insanely good offensive support staff. It is

673
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: top five in the country. The defensive support staff is

674
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: top half of the SEC. Now Tim Banks is the

675
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator there model has him graded low. If you

676
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: said there's a weakness on the coaching staff, relatively speaking,

677
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: it would be the defensive coordinator position. But he had

678
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: a really good twenty twenty three. His twenty twenty three.

679
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: If he were to duplicate that again, you're no longer

680
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: using that terminology about him. This is not my opinion,

681
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm sharing. This is model output. This

682
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: thing's blind, It has no emotion. It doesn't even know

683
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: where Knoxville, tenn Is is. This is a top fifteen

684
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: staff and it's a top fifteen recruiting staff the one

685
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: through eleven, especially so the traditional on field guys that

686
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: is top fifteen in the country and top fifteen recruiting

687
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: in the country. That's very underrated. People don't think about

688
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee like that. There's some folks, there's some coaching staffs

689
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: out there that you guys would rank above them that

690
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: in reality do not belong above them. And then if

691
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: you pop another ten or eleven win season, and you

692
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: also get to backload with the new NCAA coaching rules

693
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: with off the field guys all of a sudden being

694
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: on the field, it's only going to get deeper. What

695
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: about the schedule here, It's one of the best draws,

696
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: which is ironic because they play Alabama and Georgia, but

697
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: it's still one of the best draws. So follow me here.

698
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: They only play three teams in the JP pole top

699
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: twenty five. Now they are really good teams. They go

700
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma in Week four. It's one of my circle games.

701
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that. One's Josh Heipel going back

702
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: to Norman. Tennessee's first time on the road this year

703
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: in a true road environment. It's Oklahoma's first SEC game.

704
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: I think so that one's going to be really good.

705
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: But look at Week two. I was on Pack Pride

706
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: with those guys on their radio show last night. We

707
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: spent a fair amount of time talking about this game.

708
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee folks. SEC folks, do not focus on that Week

709
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 1: two game. That is like one of two super bowls

710
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: for NC State this year. They're looking at that one

711
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: in Charlotte. It's a neutral site game against Tennessee, and

712
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: they're looking at the Clemson game and they think if

713
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: they can split there, they got a pretty reasonable shot

714
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: of challenging for an ACC championship appearance. So don't catch

715
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: yourself in ambush mode there. Tennessee will be well represented

716
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: over there. It won't be like some hostile environment, no

717
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: more so than it'll be for NC State. But that

718
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: is not one to just look at and go huh

719
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: dub and then move on. This is not the NC

720
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: State team to think that way, especially because the wide

721
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: receiver corps they have over there, they believe is the

722
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: best they've had in a long time. They got a

723
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: very very veteran transfer quarterback, and your secondary is your

724
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: biggest question mark right now, so be very careful with

725
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: that NC State game. I feel like we just broke

726
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 1: the game down. They go to Oklahoma in Week four again,

727
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: Like I said, that is one of my Circle games

728
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: of the year. Best case record for Tennessee this year

729
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: eleven and one if everything comes together for him. There

730
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: is absolutely an eleven and one on this slate. The

731
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: worst case I think is seven and five. So what

732
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: do we predict? I was way way way between nine

733
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: and three and ten and two because I have a

734
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: first year starter at quarterback, questions in the secondary, and

735
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: I do play at Georgia, and I do play Alabama,

736
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: and I do play Florida at home. I've got at Oklahoma.

737
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: I've got that weird neutral site game there. I think

738
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: there is enough uncertainty for me to predict nine and three.

739
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: It is very very close to ten and two, and

740
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: ten and two has them in the playoff. There's a

741
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: world where nine and three has Tennessee in the playoff.

742
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: So this is very much on the precipice, sort of

743
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: a seesaw nine and three, ten and two For me.

744
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: I've got them fourteenth in the preseason JP Pole, so

745
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: everything's on the table for Tennessee. Eleven and one wouldn't

746
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: shot me ten to two. Nine and three. That's kind

747
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: of where I would predict their record. All right, let's

748
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: move right along. I got a lot of folks watching live.

749
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. Make sure it's that time.

750
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: I do this about once every two weeks. You guys

751
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: probably think you're subscribed. Make sure you are, cause some

752
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: of you think you are and you are not. On

753
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: the podcast side and on the YouTube side, just take

754
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: two seconds make sure you're subbed. If you're not, please

755
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: do it for no reason other than it helps us out.

756
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: It doesn't sign you up for any mailing list. You're

757
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: not gonna get spammed, you don't have to pay anything.

758
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: It's nothing like that. It just helps us. And then

759
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: get five of your friends to do the same question

760
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: from one of you. Corey hit me up. He said,

761
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: it seems like in this new power to power four

762
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: world we're in that you are down on the ACC

763
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: as a whole. On a scale from one to ten,

764
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: Does the ACC have a legitimate chance of winning a

765
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: national title this year? I'm not sure how i'd rate it.

766
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: On scale of one to ten, I'd say no, I

767
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: don't think they have a national championship contender over there. Now,

768
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: that's way different than playoff contender. Okay, we're no longer

769
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: in the four team era. You're guaranteed to have one

770
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: team in the playoff. I think the ACC is gonna

771
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: have two teams in the playoff. That's my prediction. So

772
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: it's not a playoff contender. You're asking me, do I

773
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: look at one of these teams and say that one

774
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: right there, I legit could see winning the national title.

775
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: I can't see a team from this conference winning the

776
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: national title. I'm gonna walk you through why I think

777
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: that way. It's a very lofty conversation. Okay, at Clemson,

778
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: there's enough question for me around k Klubnick and Garrett

779
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: Riley in year two here, I mean, there's a lot

780
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: of promise, love those two young receivers they've brought in.

781
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: But then if I get in the playoff and I

782
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: got to run through a string of Texas and then

783
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and then Georgia, if I got to run

784
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: up against Alabama, if I see Ohio State or Oregon

785
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: multiples of those, I mean, it's my offensive line where

786
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: it needs to be, is my ground game where it

787
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: needs to be. Can my young receivers get separation against

788
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: those defensive backs. Can I win several of those games?

789
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't think Clemson can. If they're there, I don't

790
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: think they can. Florida State, Mike Norvel thinks the world

791
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: of the DNA of his team, and I agree. I'm

792
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: blindly taking his word for that. But you're gonna have

793
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: to show me at Florida State that you've replaced that

794
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: talent you've lost enough to where not only can you

795
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: win the ACC and make the playoff, but you could

796
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: go win three games and win the whole thing, win

797
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: the national title. You're gonna have to show me that

798
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: dj uy Anglila winning a national title, you being able

799
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: to ask him to win a couple of games for

800
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: you against the best of the best, that wide receiver

801
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: corps being able to step up them get separation and

802
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: them make big plays and change games. Have a dynamic

803
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: enough offense that that is something I'd have to see

804
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: to believe. Miami. Ironically, if we're talking about talent profiles,

805
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: cam Ward's got the best chance to end up being

806
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: elite enough. Their pass rush has probably as good a

807
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: chance as any of being able to be elite and

808
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,959
Speaker 1: game breaking enough. They've got good running back depth, They've

809
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: got receivers like Rastrepo, and then guys that can work

810
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: downstream of him. Got the kid from Houston that could

811
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: be a breakout star. The talent profile from Miami probably

812
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: strikes me as one that's more likely to do it.

813
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: But you're talking about having to bridge a gulf from

814
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: underachievement for years and years and years to all of

815
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: a sudden in one year you're in the playoff and

816
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: you go win the whole thing again, that's a bridge

817
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: too far from me. I can't see Miami doing it.

818
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: I can't see Florida State doing it. I can't see

819
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: Clemson doing it. Solid teams we're talking about going and

820
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: beaten Oregon, in Ohio State, we're talking about going beaten Bamine,

821
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: Georgia and Texas. These teams I don't think are going

822
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: to do that this year. And not just beating one

823
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: of them. You got to beat like several of them.

824
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: That's the whole point. Next up, where if we heard

825
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: this question before, Boy, no one has broached this subject.

826
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: Mark from Cleghorn, Wisconsin. Ryan Day is turning into the

827
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 1: boy who Cried Wolf. How important is twenty twenty four

828
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: for him and the perception of his coaching ability. Does

829
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: something happen if he can't win this year? Mark? What

830
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: do you mean by can't win? Does he he have

831
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: to win one game nine games? Does he have to

832
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: win the whole thing? I always have to nail you

833
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: guys down on this because, like you use this nebulous terminology,

834
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: and the rule around here is only I should be

835
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: allowed to do that. Yes, we all agree there, So uh,

836
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: I don't have to answer this question. Mark. I went

837
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: up to Columbus, Ohio a few months ago and I

838
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: just asked Ryan Day from myself. I asked him about pressure.

839
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: I asked him about not being able to beat Michigan

840
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: three years in a row. What needs to change? So

841
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: we kind of went and addressed it with the man himself.

842
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: Rollick Colin, you talk about chasing the one percent a lot,

843
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: and you guys have put up just an insane win

844
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: loss record here and then there have been big moments

845
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: where you haven't followed through on it like you want to. Internally,

846
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: I know there are a million layers to the way

847
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: you eval yourself and your organization. Outside it's just did

848
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: you win the game or did you not win the game?

849
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: Does it strike you how crazy It is the complete

850
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: validation that's praised upon you if you win the last

851
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: game of the season versus the total indictment. It is

852
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: on your program if you lose it, and you've got

853
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: a bunch of humans in this building, how do you

854
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: block that out and make sure folks keep the racehorse

855
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: blinders on and understand, yeah, we lost here. It should

856
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: feel terrible, But there are specific reasons why instead of

857
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: just we suck burn it down, let's start over from scratch.

858
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 3: I think you have to enhance the things that are

859
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 3: going well and then address the things that need to

860
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 3: get addressed and identify the right things that need to

861
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 3: get fixed. And I think that goes back to making

862
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 3: sure you have the right guys in the right seat,

863
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 3: making sure you have you know enough experience in the

864
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 3: locker room, because you know, we have to win games

865
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, We have to win games at

866
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 3: the end of the year, and usually you're doing that

867
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 3: with guys who are you know, twenty one, twenty two,

868
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 3: twenty three years old. That's just the truth, and so

869
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: that was important. I think the other part is making

870
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 3: sure the staff is exactly who we need it to be.

871
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 3: And hiring Chip was a big deal. You know, it

872
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 3: really allowed me some opportunity to make sure that I'm

873
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 3: overseeing everything, especially with everything going on in college football

874
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 3: right now. But it's you know, like you said, you know,

875
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 3: you have to identify the things that are going well

876
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 3: and then fix the things. And this job isn't for

877
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 3: the faint of heart. You know, you can be a

878
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 3: player two away and you know feel like you're right

879
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 3: on that cusp, but you got to make hard decisions.

880
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 3: You got to make hard calls because that's what needs

881
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 3: to be done to make sure that you know our

882
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 3: team is the right situation and win all these games.

883
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: All right, So it's been like three and a half

884
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: minutes now. But if I remember correctly, Colin, if I

885
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: remember correctly, Jesse, the question alleged that Ryan Day could

886
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: turn into the boy who Cried Wolf. And to be honest,

887
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: I have no clue what this means. I think I

888
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: know what you think it means. What you think you

889
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: were saying is Ryan Day keeps writing the headlines about himself.

890
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Day keeps voting his team number one, Ryan Day

891
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: keeps picking his team to win the national title. Well,

892
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: Ryan Day doesn't do any of that, I do you

893
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: do they do, we do. So if I pick Ohio

894
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: State to do something like when the national title, which

895
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: I did last year, and they don't win it, yeah,

896
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Day didn't get it done. But I'm the one

897
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: who's pick fell through. So I cried wolf. He didn't

898
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: cry wolf. He may have yelled at Lou Holtz in

899
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: a postgame press conference, which I still wouldn't apologize for

900
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: if I were him, but he didn't cry wolf. So

901
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: that's what he actually says. Ryan Day didn't do a

902
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: whole lot of these sit down one on ones. He's

903
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: done two of them with us this spring and summer,

904
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the access that he gives us. I

905
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,479
Speaker 1: appreciate the answers he gives us. You know what else

906
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: he said, I didn't have time to run it. Later

907
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: in that segment, he said, if I don't get it

908
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: done here, they'll fire me and they'll go get someone

909
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: else to do it. I don't shy away from the

910
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: pressure of this job. These are things he talked about.

911
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 1: If you haven't watched that, if you're an Ohio State

912
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: fan or or you're just interested in the way these

913
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: guys think. We've got like forty minutes with him from

914
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: the spring. Go search it on the YouTube channel. It

915
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 1: was one of the best visits and sit downs we did.

916
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: They were great up there, gave us full access and

917
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: I think a really eye opening interview with Ryan Day.

918
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: So then fast forward back here. So they're gonna be

919
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: preseason number one or number two, wherever you look. They're

920
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: gonna be picked to win the Big Ten, They're gonna

921
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: be picked to go to the playoff, maybe win at all.

922
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: I will echo that I'm gonna pick them to do

923
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: some of those things. Look, here's what I'll say there.

924
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a total disconnect in understanding the world

925
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: those coaches live in, which is not to say there's

926
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: not pressure on them, which is not to say Ryan

927
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: Day doesn't need to get the job done. All of

928
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: those things are true. What I'm just saying is, and

929
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: what I've observed about these guys is there are some coaches.

930
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: Excuse let me back up. What I've observed about these coaches,

931
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: and I'm around a lot of them, is they all

932
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: say they don't care what the public says about them.

933
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: Only some of them mean it. So you got to determine,

934
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: like who are you if you're Ryan Day, if you're

935
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: any of these guys, do you say you don't care

936
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: about what other folks think? Or do you actually not

937
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: care about what other folks think? Because he's got a

938
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: world class program in Columbus, Ohio, they may have the

939
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: best talent roster in America this year, they're going to

940
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: be picked to do a lot of big things. They

941
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 1: should be picked to do a lot of big things.

942
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: They have come up short the last few years. Not

943
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: far off, but they've come up short. They hadn't finished

944
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: the job that they set out to do, and it's

945
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: because they weren't good enough. So is that a reflection

946
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: of him? Well, ultimately the entire organization is. But there's

947
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 1: a big difference, you know, and being on rung nine

948
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: of a ten rung ladder versus being on rung two.

949
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: The difference, I think is the perception a lot of

950
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: people have is you're either on the top wrong or

951
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: the bottom wrong. There's like no in between, which has

952
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: always been dumb to me. But the attitude that you

953
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: have if you don't care about what other folks think

954
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: is you just run your race, you just coach your team,

955
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: you just run your program, and if you fail, you

956
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: get back up. Like he just talked about, and you

957
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: apply the lessons you learned, and then over time, it's

958
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: no different than succeeding in business. A lot of you

959
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: own businesses. Did you knock it out of the park

960
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: in year one or year two, even if you had

961
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: advantages baked in? Maybe so, maybe not. Did you keep

962
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: making the same mistakes over and over again? That's what

963
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: makes you a failure. I don't I can't. I can't

964
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: wait to see how this season plays out, because I

965
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: think that there are not only some staff changes he

966
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: made there, man, I think there are some philosophical slight

967
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: course corrections, not wholesale changes, but just a little tweak here,

968
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,959
Speaker 1: a little shift there, a little little angle correction there,

969
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: to where Ohio State football just looks like a little

970
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: more streamlined version, a little more sledgehammerish version of itself

971
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: than it has in the past. But here's the follow

972
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: up to that, the downside of it. This is not

973
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: about Ryan Day, but this is just in general. The

974
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: second you care about what other folks think you're done,

975
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: you're on your way to becoming one of them. You're

976
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: on your way to talking into a mic for a living,

977
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: or you're on your way to having to pay to

978
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: attend games, or maybe they'll give you a sideline pass

979
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: and you come and you're honored for what you once

980
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: did for this program. But here's the way it works.

981
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: It infects your mind because what happens is not only

982
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: are you making split second decisions, not only are you

983
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: making very pivotal decisions, whether it be a higher whether

984
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: it be who to start, whether it be how to

985
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: tweak your strength to conditioning program. Not only are you

986
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 1: doing that, but there's this little voice in the back

987
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: of your head, and it asks, what will writers at

988
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: the Columbus Post Dispatch say about this? What will guys

989
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: over on the eleven Warriors or but Nuts message board say,

990
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: what's Zack Smith gonna say about this tomorrow? What is

991
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: the entire media ecosystem and Columbus gonna say? You're done?

992
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: You are screwed. If you ever think like that, it

993
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: poisons your mind. And so the big question about Ryan Day,

994
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: the big question about any head coach at any point

995
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: at Ohio State is not will he have the resources?

996
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: They all will. It's not will they have the talent

997
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: to a certain degree, they all will. It's are you

998
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: the right guy for the job? I think the answer

999
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: is yes. With Ryan Day. Then part two is mentally

1000
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: from the neck up, are you wired to shut that

1001
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,240
Speaker 1: stuff out and just run your race? If he does,

1002
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: they will win a national championship at Ohio State. I've

1003
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: got very little doubt about it because I think he's

1004
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: good enough. I think they're well resourced enough. I think

1005
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: they're in perfect position. That is not always the way

1006
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: the sport works. Though it's not Xbox, it's the real world,

1007
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: and there are consequences to letting the outside noise affect you.

1008
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: How will this season play out? Well? Tune in Thursday

1009
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: because I'll make my final prediction, so at least you'll

1010
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: see what I think. They're watching us in Charlotte, North Carolina.

1011
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Eagle River, Alaska, a market I

1012
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: have always said is untapped in the college football front.

1013
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: And they're watching us in Covington, Georgia. Thank you so much. Uh,

1014
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: let's let's boy. How about this news last night out

1015
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: of Tuscaloosa. How many of you know who Courtney Morgan is?

1016
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: Diehard fans do, Maybe some of the more not the

1017
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: casual fans, Maybe some of the more casual minded fans.

1018
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: Maybe the Saturday only crowd. Maybe you don't know who

1019
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: that is. Lucas from Huntsville hit me up. He said,

1020
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 1: what do you think are the ramifications for Alabama giving

1021
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: their general manager Courtney Morgan such a huge extension. They're

1022
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: big man huge, So Courtney Morgan's the GM at Alabama.

1023
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: He came with Kaitlin de Bor from Washington. Just signed

1024
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: a new three year deal eight hundred and twenty five

1025
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: k per year. I saw this breaking news from Matt

1026
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: Zenitz last night, another Z bomb in a world of

1027
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: breaking news. I saw this news and probably within the

1028
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: next five minutes, I had text from three different general

1029
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: managers at three different major programs. Two of them just

1030
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: sent the champagne emoji and a third one sent words

1031
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: that were ten amount to popping champagne. And the reason

1032
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: is because Courtney Morgan just got paid. And Courtney Morgan

1033
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: just got all of them paid. It was a landmark.

1034
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: It was like a watershed moment for people at the

1035
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: head of personnel departments because for a long time there's

1036
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: been this kind of sport imposed ceiling on what your

1037
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: max earnings potential could be. There. Well, that thing's been

1038
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: shattered nine ways from Sunday. So now it's anyone's guess.

1039
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: This is like I remember, back in the day, Albert Bell.

1040
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: We once did a segment in my elementary school class.

1041
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: Albert Bell was the first ten million dollars per year

1042
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: major League baseball guy. I think Mike Smitt once, once

1043
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: upon a time, way back in the day before my time,

1044
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: was the first million dollar per year earner, and everybody

1045
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: had the same conversation, how could these guys be paid

1046
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: this much just just a sport? Well, how much does

1047
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge make now? He makes like ten million a

1048
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: month now. So people, let me tell you two things.

1049
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: First off, I don't think people appreciate what Alabama's pulling

1050
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: off here. Bama had the best in the world. Bama

1051
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: had the best of all time there for a decade

1052
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: and a half. When you lose him, it's supposed to

1053
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,439
Speaker 1: be like pivoting the Titanic in Moon Lake in Phoenix City, Alabama.

1054
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a lot more difficult than this.

1055
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to just at the drop of a hat,

1056
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: say Nick Saban retired, I'm gonna go get a top

1057
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: three head coach in college football. He's gonna bring his

1058
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: All Star general manager. With him, we're gonna retain outside

1059
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: of Caleb Downs, Isaiah Bond, a couple of guys. Ironically

1060
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: enough picture there. Outside of a couple of guys, we're

1061
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna retain our roster. We're gonna get one of them

1062
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: to transfer back who left us for Iowa, and we're

1063
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna proceed to go lock down a top three recruiting

1064
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: class just like that. We're also not gonna react to

1065
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: the market. We're just gonna go set the market. Alabama

1066
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing this, No program should be doing this

1067
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: when you've got Nick Saban. The trade off to having

1068
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: Nick Saban is logic tells you, once you lose Nick Saban,

1069
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a dry run, and there's gonna be

1070
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: some rot, and there's gonna be some laziness, and there's

1071
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 1: gonna be some entitlement. And folks who have not had

1072
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: to think for themselves for a long time are having

1073
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: to learn to think for themselves. And in reality, that

1074
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: is not it. That's not it at Alabama. So they're

1075
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: pulling off something they shouldn't be able to pull off here. Now.

1076
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: As for Courtney Morgan, so Bama's paying Courtney Morgan over

1077
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 1: eight hundred grand a year. Now, why so much? Cause

1078
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: he controls the roster there, and roster is the beginning

1079
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: and ending of this sport. I don't care how good

1080
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: your coaching staff is. If they don't have players, you

1081
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: don't have a job for long. So right now, Obama,

1082
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: not only do I want you to look at the

1083
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: team they were able to retain once those guys walked

1084
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: in the building for this year. Look at the recruiting

1085
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: class they're in the process of putting together for the

1086
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 1: upcoming cycle and cycles moving forward. Some of you, some

1087
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: of you disagreed with me last night and said, oh,

1088
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: bama'ld be fine, no matter what you're wrong, you're wrong.

1089
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: I just I know what's going on. You're wrong about that. No,

1090
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: they wouldn't, Bama'd be fine. Fine is not the standard

1091
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Like, what are we talking about? Eight

1092
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: and four, finish in the top twenty five and recruiting, Yeah,

1093
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: they could do that. A ham Sandwich could do that.

1094
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: At Alabama they had one. They had several of them

1095
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: between the Bear Bryant era and with the early nineties exception,

1096
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: the Nick Saban era. They don't want fine that's not

1097
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: the standard there anymore. So Courtney Morgan gets paid what

1098
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 1: he's paid, and you you either got one of two

1099
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: reactions to that. Either you say eight one hundred grand

1100
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: for a general manager, what are we doing? Or you say, uh, yeah,

1101
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: that won't be a headline in two years, Because in

1102
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: two years, because of Courtney Morgan being paid eight hundred,

1103
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: he'll probably already have been bumped up up again, and

1104
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: there'll be three seven figure per year earners, and then

1105
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: there'll be ten seven figure per year earners. Everybody's GM

1106
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: will be paid. That. I mean, that's real power. By

1107
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: the way, in any walk of life, in any industry,

1108
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: a lot of guys can get themselves paid, only a

1109
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: few of them can get a bunch of their peers paid.

1110
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: Courtney Morgan just got a bunch of his peers paid.

1111
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: He knows Kaylen Debor's system inside and out, he knows

1112
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: his way of doing things. That's one reason to pay him.

1113
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: That connectivity to players, relatability to players, that's another reason

1114
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: to pay him. That roster retention and talent acquisition, and

1115
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,919
Speaker 1: understanding both of those markets inside and out, I mean,

1116
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: intimately being ahead of the game, kind of seeing around

1117
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: the corner instead of reacting. That's another reason to pay him.

1118
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: That you can't be reactionary. Man, you just lost the

1119
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 1: best of all time. You can't afford to be reactionary.

1120
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you had a guy who built Alabama into

1121
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: what it is today. He set the standard. He stepped

1122
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: down in his prime. He didn't wait until the program

1123
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: eroded and this cultural rot had set in on the

1124
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: back end, like some other respectably some other icons have

1125
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: done in the past. He built a monster. He stepped

1126
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: down while it was still a monster. He tossed the keys.

1127
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: Kaitlin Bore grabbed him out of the air, said, Courtney Morgan,

1128
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: you're coming with me to Tuscaloosa. He comes with him.

1129
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: Big time offers come immediately. I'm telling you, Southern col

1130
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: came after him hard. Courtney Morgan grew up in La

1131
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: by the way, and he turned it down to stay there.

1132
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: That's why you pay him what you're paying him. You

1133
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: don't keep up with the market at Alabama. You set

1134
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: the market. You are the market. That's the way it's

1135
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,439
Speaker 1: been for a long time. So if you're gonna keep

1136
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: getting what you've been getting, you have to continue being

1137
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: what you've been This is part of it. You don't

1138
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: count pennies like you don't save a couple hundred grand

1139
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: here and there when it comes to something as valuable

1140
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: and quintessential as roster rosters, everything in this sport. Now

1141
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: here's another thing that I think is very, very appealing

1142
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: to many people in this audience. Some of you love.

1143
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: Everybody who's listening loves this sport. Every one of you

1144
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: who are listening me, including we love college football. I've

1145
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: never coached this sport. Most of you have not coached

1146
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: the sport, or if you have, you haven't coached it

1147
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: at a high level. So very very few people in

1148
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: this audience look and immediately see a path for themselves

1149
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: to one day working at Kentucky, or working at Texas

1150
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: A and M, or working at Michigan State. But I'm

1151
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: telling you doors are opening every day, and I recognize

1152
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: it because it's been happening in my business. I wouldn't

1153
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: be sitting here fifteen years ago, but I'm sitting here now.

1154
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: Calls the game changed in media, and all of a

1155
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: sudden in the mid twenty teens, a couple of barriers

1156
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: got broken down in the way of overhead and distribution.

1157
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: You used to need multimillion dollar studios. You used to

1158
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: need big time legacy media distribution and networking deals for

1159
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: your voice to ever resonate from Seattle to Miami, in

1160
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: LA to New York. Now you just need to be

1161
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 1: good enough and have Internet, and if you are good enough,

1162
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: you can build your own audience. That changed ten years ago.

1163
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: So here we are. College football is changing, and college

1164
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: football all of a sudden is evolving into a sport

1165
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: that now has not only niche based roles, but huge,

1166
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: front facing, high earning positions for guys that may or

1167
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: may not have played the game, may or may not

1168
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: have coached the game. I was on a stage with

1169
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: Courtney Morgan two weeks ago in Nashville and we were

1170
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: doing a panel and I asked him about what had

1171
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: happened in his life to prepare him to be the

1172
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: GM in Alabama. Eighty percent of what he talked about

1173
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with football. I mean, he's worked

1174
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: in all kinds of different avenues totally outside the game.

1175
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Some of you are in that position right now, and

1176
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: you may or may not love your job, but you'd

1177
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: really love to work in zid cooeege football. If you're

1178
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: brilliant with numbers, if you're if you're brilliant with finance,

1179
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: if you're brilliant with communication, if you're if you're brilliant

1180
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: with psychology. They're all kinds of different avenues opening up.

1181
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: This is just another example of it that are gateways,

1182
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: non traditional, very new age gateways for some of you

1183
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: who love this sport, but you've always had to watch

1184
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: it from outside the fence. To knock down the fence

1185
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: and get inside and find your spot. It's there, I'm

1186
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: telling you it is. It has never been there in

1187
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: a greater abundance now and in the future than it

1188
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: is today. So it's a very interesting time. This is

1189
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of people paid. This is

1190
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: this is going to be a headline that people laugh

1191
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: at being a big deal. Five years from now, all

1192
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: the big time gms will be seven figure per year

1193
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: earners five years from now. I got another take for you.

1194
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: I think one of these dudes is going to end

1195
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: up being the head coach of a team, maybe not

1196
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: a team as high profile as Alabama. Someone out there

1197
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: is going to value this position, and someone out there

1198
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: is going to think they can overspend at the coordinator

1199
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: spots to the point where their head coach doesn't need

1200
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: to check the traditional boxes that a head coach wants checked.

1201
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: Someone in an experimental fashion is going to try that.

1202
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't know when, I don't know where. But a

1203
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: guy that today you would call a GM or a

1204
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: director of player personnel, someone's going to make that person

1205
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: a head coach one day. Not an Alabama but a

1206
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: second or third year program. And I we'll just see

1207
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: how it works out. Next up, we continue predicting. We

1208
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: roll merrily along here. Big question this ought to go

1209
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: swimmingly because everyone's totally logical when I talk about this team.

1210
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: What will Penn State's record be this year? And then

1211
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: bonus question is James Franklin overrated? Is Penn State overrated?

1212
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: It's an inside joke. If you know, you know they're

1213
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: over underwent total. Here's what you need to know. It

1214
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: is nine and a half. FanDuel has the over underwin

1215
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: total at nine and a half. FanDuel has them with

1216
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: the third best odds to win the Big Ten. They

1217
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: have got the sixth best odds to make the playoff.

1218
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Let me repeat, Penn State, in a roundabout way, is

1219
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: favored to make the playoff. They would have been in

1220
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: the last several years. If we had a twelve team

1221
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: playoff James Franklin's entering year eleven. Here's what I think

1222
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: I know about his team. Defense will again be very strong,

1223
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: very strong. The defensive line is full of seniors, got

1224
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: a ton of experience there. They've got a great edge duo,

1225
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: They've got a great safety duo. We're hearing good things

1226
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: about the corners that they got in there. They got

1227
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: Kimber and they got Harris in the transfer market, So

1228
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: feel good again about defense. I think if they handle

1229
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: this offense right, they should have outside of Ohio State,

1230
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: and it will probably behoove them that I said that,

1231
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: because they can use it for motivation. But outside Ohio State,

1232
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: where should I have a better one to two combo

1233
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: of tailback than I mean, Singleton and Allen last year

1234
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: should have been better than they were this year. Those guys,

1235
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: those guys both have thousand yard potential about them. So again,

1236
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: new coordinator in so we'll see how that unfolds. But

1237
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: I think I know they should be very dynamic and

1238
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: that should be a strength of that team. And I

1239
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: think I know this will be a little more controversial.

1240
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Drew Ahler is a strength of this team now Drew Aller,

1241
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: although he had a good year in terms of touchdown

1242
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: to turnover rate last year twenty nine to two. People

1243
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: think he sucked last year. That's cause they sucked offensively

1244
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: in big games. But he was a good player last year,

1245
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: first full year as a starter. This will be a

1246
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: second full year as a starter, which leads me we

1247
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: can go right into what I need to know. I

1248
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: need to know. Will he be put in a better

1249
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: position than he was last year? They brought in Kolniki,

1250
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: the coordinator from Kansas. A lot of hope riding on that,

1251
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot of hope of their offense being more explosive

1252
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: in big games. You guys, remember the Ohio State Michigan

1253
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: game last year was terrible. I was at both those games.

1254
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: It was bad outside that they moved the ball fairly well,

1255
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: But that doesn't really matter because outside of those games,

1256
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: what else are we really talking about? This is Penn State,

1257
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Like that's who you're there to beat. Will a wide

1258
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: receiver one emerge on this team? They had Lambert Smith

1259
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: that transferred down to Auburn, and so who are we

1260
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: looking at here? Julian Fleming transferred in from Ohio State

1261
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: to Pennsylvania guy. He kind of profiles as that guy,

1262
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: so to speak. Do they have one? Will this offense

1263
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: generate one? You know? Will will there be more opportunity

1264
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: tight ends a really good and deep position for them.

1265
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: That'll help a little bit as well. How good are

1266
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,959
Speaker 1: they at corner that's another question I have. They brought

1267
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: in aj Harris, former Central Red Devil for those of

1268
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: you down in the Bay City area. They brought him in.

1269
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: They brought kimber in from Georgia. A. Davian Collins is

1270
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: a guy who came there two years ago and he's

1271
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: been one of the talks of their fall camp. If

1272
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: that room has come together like they're suggesting it has,

1273
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: losing King and losing Dixon, that should be a weakness.

1274
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: If it's not a weakness, that's a huge bonus for

1275
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: this team. What about the coaching staff? I mean this

1276
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: will be clipped to the ends of the world because

1277
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: everyone wants to know about the coaching staff at penn State. Well,

1278
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: I've got every one of them graded in this model,

1279
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: and we all know the model does not lie. I'm

1280
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: gonna give you comps a lot of times. I tell

1281
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: you where the guys are rated. I'm gonna go one

1282
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: step further for Penn State. I'm gonna tell you where

1283
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: the model places these coaches. James Franklin would be sandwiched

1284
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: kind of in between a Dave Dorian, a Matt Campbell,

1285
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Brett Belma. Brett Beilam was a pretty highly rated coach,

1286
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: by the way. That's where he would profile. Andy Coleniki,

1287
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,439
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator. You want to know who he'd

1288
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: be right up against, Bobby Petrino. So, if anything, a

1289
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: very fun season ahead for Penn State's offense. The offensive

1290
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: support staff here is kind of average, you know, by

1291
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: by major college football standards. The defensive support staff is excellent,

1292
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: very very good, and that's not a surprise. They are

1293
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 1: below Oregon and above Michigan State sort of as a

1294
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff at large, that's about where we would place

1295
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,919
Speaker 1: their staff grade. Right below Oregon, right above Michigan State.

1296
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Michigan State's not gonna win many games this year. Michigan

1297
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: State has got a pretty good coaching staff that no

1298
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: one knows about. So that's what the model thinks about

1299
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: Penn State's coaching staff. Notice no one said the word elite.

1300
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: No one said the word great. No one said the

1301
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: word top five, and yet if they go ten to

1302
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: two this year, people will call them overrated. The schedule

1303
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: sets up very well, it's very favorable. Now, don't overlook

1304
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: week one. Week one. No one's talking about it outside

1305
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: of these fan bases. Penn State at West Virginia has

1306
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: rock fight written all over it. When you got a

1307
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: new coordinator and you're trying to fit many new pieces

1308
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: in and meanwhile Neil rounds up there no longer on

1309
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: the hot seat, and he's got his quarterback back, it

1310
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: could be a very, very challenging Week one game. I

1311
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: want to say Penn State's favored by like nine or

1312
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: ten right now, but they only play two teams in

1313
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 1: the top twenty five, and Ohio State's at home. Look

1314
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: at the last month of their season Washington at Purdue,

1315
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:25,560
Speaker 1: at Minnesota Maryland. My thinking on Penn State is somewhere

1316
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: in October, their offense will hit it stride and it

1317
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 1: will level up. It will not be out of the gate,

1318
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: but at some point it'll level up, and you'll find

1319
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: yourself in early November saying wow, this looks like a

1320
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: really different team. And if that's the case, they're gonna

1321
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: get fat on the last four weeks of their schedule,

1322
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have momentum on their side and they'll

1323
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: get in the playoff if that happens. They have a

1324
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: huge by edge in that Wisconsin game. They go to

1325
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Southern cal. Then they got a bye week, so they're

1326
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: fully rested. They go to Madison, Wisconsin is off back

1327
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: to back road games. Oh By, they go to Rutgers,

1328
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: which is in New Jersey. The next week they go

1329
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: to Washington which is in Seattle, and then they complete

1330
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: a back to back road with a cross country leg,

1331
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: and then they got Penn State at home. No rest.

1332
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Penn State's fully resting. So the best case scenario for

1333
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 1: Penn State this year is an undefeated season. And I'm

1334
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why, cause there are no huge underdog

1335
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: spots on here. They've got Ohio State at home. We've

1336
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: got the number on the game. You can go bet

1337
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 1: it right now. Ohio State's favored by three and a half.

1338
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: In Happy Valley, they go to Southern col Penn State

1339
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: will either be favored or a very small underdog. There

1340
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: is certainly a path for them to win every one

1341
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: of these games. I've got their worst case scenario at

1342
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: eight and four, and I've got them going ten and two.

1343
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: I flirted with eleven and one. I've got them going

1344
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 1: ten and two. This year, JP pole's really really high

1345
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: on Penn State, higher than I'd probably have them. Penn

1346
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: State is sixth in the JP Pole in the preseason.

1347
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: That's the difference power rating and a ranking, because I'd

1348
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: probably rank them a couple of spots lower ten and two.

1349
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Ten and two does that get you to Indy? If

1350
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: it does, it get you in the playoff. I think

1351
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: they're going to be a playoff team. I think Penn

1352
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: State will be in the playoff. If you disagree with me, though,

1353
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: certainly you can shout in the comments. But what you

1354
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: really could do is you go over to FanDuel and

1355
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: bet no on Penn State to make the playoffs, and

1356
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: if they don't make it, you'll make yourself some money

1357
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 1: because that is one of many offerings they have over there.

1358
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:30,719
Speaker 1: You can go bet that game. I just talked about

1359
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State at Penn State. If you think Ohio State's

1360
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: going to roll them, go lay three and a half.

1361
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. You can do it right now. It's

1362
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: a future's bet you can do it right now. If

1363
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:42,719
Speaker 1: you think Penn State is going to fall to West

1364
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: Virginia in Week one, I've got great news for you.

1365
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: You can go find West Virginia and they'll give you

1366
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,640
Speaker 1: some points. So not only do they pull the up

1367
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: saying you actually got some points, you got some cushion.

1368
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:55,920

Speaker 1: All right, let's wrap up the show with this bold predictions,

1407
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: so bold but yet not bold enough that you wouldn't

1408
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: bet your money on you. Guys claim you've bet your

1409
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: own money on these scouts. Honor. We work on the

1410
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: honor system around here. First up, this is from Omar

1411
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: in Billings, Montana. He says the Big Ten will get

1412
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,600
Speaker 1: twice as many playoff bids as the ACC and the

1413
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 1: Big Twelve combined. This is a nine point twenty five

1414
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 1: for me. So think about what he said. The Big

1415
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: ten gonna get twice as many playoff spots as the

1416
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: Big twelve and the ACC. Okay, so the Big ten

1417
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 1: needs at least four just out of the gate, because

1418
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: we know that the ACC and Big twelve are gonna

1419
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: have two combined because one of them each has to

1420
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: get in. So if they get their minimum, you got

1421
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: to have at least four. All right, that's already a

1422
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,839
Speaker 1: tall order if they get even one at large team,

1423
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 1: like if the ACC or the Big twelve gets even

1424
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: one more team in there, it's over because at that

1425
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: point you would need six teams in the College Football Playoff.

1426
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 1: And if you just do the math there, if they

1427
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 1: had three in and you had six in, and we

1428
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: know the G five gets one in, that's ten, the

1429
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: SEC gets one in, that's eleven, the Big Ten gets

1430
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: one in, that's twelve. In that world, the Big Ten

1431
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: and the SEC got one team in. So obviously that's

1432
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: not happening. So the only path here, as I see it,

1433
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: is the ACC and the Big twelve just to get

1434
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 1: their conference champion and that's it, and then you've got

1435
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: to get four in. I don't think that's gonna happen.

1436
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 1: I think these conferences will get more than two combined

1437
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: teams in. I don't know if I've got four Big

1438
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't think I got four Big ten teams going regardless.

1439
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put you know what, that's Boulder Jesse.

1440
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a nine point seven five. I'm putting

1441
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: a nine point seventy five on it. Nine point seven five.

1442
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 1: I upped it by half a point right here on air,

1443
01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 1: it's the magic of live Internet. Next up, Todd and Well, first, Florida, FSU, Clemson,

1444
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: and Miami will combine to lose ten games or more

1445
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Well, I don't think they will.

1446
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: So this is a nine point five on the boldness scale.

1447
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: FSU and Miami's win totals are nine and a half.

1448
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: Clemsons is eight and a half. So if they hit

1449
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: their unders, if all three of them hit their unders,

1450
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: if FSU and Miami are nine to three, it doesn't

1451
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 1: even have to be worse than that. If they're nine

1452
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: and three, if Clemson's eight and four, well there you go.

1453
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,879
Speaker 1: You hit your bet. They lost ten or more games combined.

1454
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: But here's your problem. One of these teams is going

1455
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: to have a really good year. One of them is

1456
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 1: going to go eleven and one. Someone's going to pop

1457
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: an eleven win season on us and forget about it

1458
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 1: if someone goes undefeated. So they face each other too,

1459
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: So like someone's got to win that Florida State Clemson game,

1460
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: someone's got to win the FSU Miami game. Maybe the

1461
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: same team wins both of those games. And at that point,

1462
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, like if Florida State beats Clemson, in Miami.

1463
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Who beats Florida State Notre Dame, Like, who's gonna beat them?

1464
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 1: So at that point, I think you see that this

1465
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:12,760
Speaker 1: is tough to see through nine and a half on

1466
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: the Boldenes scale for me. Third, this is this is

1467
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 1: getting up there Carolina man from Newberry, South Carolina, Leonora Sellers,

1468
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: will be a Heisman contender in twenty twenty four. Now,

1469
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 1: look here's the thing. I mean, what do we what

1470
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: do we mean when we say contender? We got we

1471
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: gotta say final list. We can't be saying contender. Contender

1472
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: is so nebulous. Lenora Sellers was announced as the starting

1473
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 1: quarterback by the way, at South Carolina today. And so

1474
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: we were up there in spring and we you know,

1475
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: we toured the facility with Shane Beamer and we were

1476
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 1: we were in the we were in the weight room

1477
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:50,680
Speaker 1: and they're working out and they're out there practicing in

1478
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: spring ball. We knew, look, look there's evidence. There's me

1479
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 1: walking with Shane Beemer and you're just gonna have to

1480
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 1: take our word for it. But we have the quote

1481
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,679
Speaker 1: bubble and I'm telling him now it's gonna be Lenora Sellers.

1482
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: And sure enough, he announces Lenora Sellers as his quarterback today,

1483
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 1: that wasn't much of a mystery. But this dude being

1484
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: a Heisman contender this year. He's a talented player, But man,

1485
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: is their offensive line gonna be any better? Is there

1486
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 1: ground game gonna be There? Is the wide receiver room enough?

1487
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: They're over under went to holtals five and a half

1488
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: by the way, they got to go over by like

1489
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: three games minimum. And everything's got to stand out. And

1490
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: he's a first year starter. So as much as I

1491
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: believe in him, he's plus twenty thousand odds to win

1492
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: the Heisman for a reason. I don't know that Lenora

1493
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 1: Sellers is in the Heisman conversation this year. So that's

1494
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 1: a nine point seventy five on the boldness scale. And

1495
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: I own stock in him, and I'm still putting a

1496
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 1: nine point seventy five. Lastly, this would just blow the

1497
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,560
Speaker 1: tops off of some of your heads. Drew from Severna Park, Maryland.

1498
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: A four loss team finds their way into the playoff.

1499
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: In the words of Nick Saban, is that's what we

1500
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,760
Speaker 1: want college football to be. The answer for most of

1501
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: you is no, this is unlikely. It is not totally impossible.

1502
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 1: So the way I see it is we can already

1503
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 1: shave out like ninety percent of teams. Most teams can't

1504
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 1: even afford to lose three games and make the playoff.

1505
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: It's likely nobody can lose four and make it. But

1506
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: if we humor ourselves, if it's a chaotic year in

1507
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: college football, so we're we're looking at that ten or

1508
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: eleven seed and we're just having to pick out of

1509
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: the scrap heap. If you're an SEC team that had

1510
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 1: a ridiculously tough schedule, but you're like in the ten

1511
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: to twenty range in power rating, so you had a

1512
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: tough schedule, but you were probably you know, good enough

1513
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 1: to play competitively and lose some close games. So like

1514
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: you're still up there. You're rated and you're ranked high enough.

1515
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: You got four losses Florida, you know it would be

1516
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,879
Speaker 1: one of these teams. Georgia has that kind of schedule,

1517
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: but george is probably not losing four games, so really quickly,

1518
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: Bama is a team who who would be ranked high

1519
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: enough and have enough tough games where if they lost

1520
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 1: four of them, there's this really outside shot that have

1521
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: some conversation LSU, I think I don't think there's any

1522
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Big ten team whose schedule is reputable enough to where

1523
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: if they lost four there'd still be enough meat on

1524
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: the scheduling bone. Now, Florida's probably not gonna get to

1525
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: eight wins, but Florida is probably that team where if

1526
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 1: they got to eight wins and they had four losses

1527
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: by a combined fourteen points, and it's to a bunch

1528
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,719
Speaker 1: of top five or ten teams, I could see the argument.

1529
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't think this is gonna happen, though, so it's

1530
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: probably a moot point. So I'm gonna make it a

1531
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: nine point seventy five on the Boldness scal all Right,

1532
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: that's all I got in front of me. Now remember
