1
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Now welcome to Lake Kick is Live. It is Thursday

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: night in June, sixteenth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty two,

3
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: but October eighth, Where will you be? For that matter,

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: where will I be? The biggest Saturdays of the college

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: football season we will talk about tonight. We are jam

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: packed hi atop a bacon downtown Nashville, Tennessee. I love

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: where our show's going. We've been in contact with the

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: NBA today. I've told Commissioner Silver we're going to get

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: off the air roughly about the time you guys tip off,

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: so you're not gonna miss anything. We're not gonna overlap.

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: But what we are going to talk about tonight is

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about expectations for major programs.

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: We did five of them the other night. We're going

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: to do five more tonight. I am indeed going to

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: share with you not one, not two, but three of

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: the biggest Saturdays this fall. Some of these lineups are

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: properly rated, and some of them are a little bit underrated.

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Not anymore. As of tonight, you'll know how to make

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: those plans for the fall. Bold Predictions X seven, Chapter

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: seventeen on Bold Predictions Tonight Going strong and you know

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: what I think. I think Urban Meyer is going to

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: coach in college football again. And I will explain. I

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: don't need many reasons, but one big reason why Saint Augustine,

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Florida tuned into the show tonight, as is not only

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: San Jose, California, but we also had San Jose, Costa, Rica,

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: check in, Moultrie, Georgia, and Conapoly and Maui where it

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: is two pm. And yet one of you has confirmed

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: you are tuned in from the beach, which I admire.

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean more than you could know, because I would

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: not listen to my own voice on a beach. So

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: the fact that you were opting to voluntarily means the

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: world to me. We are going to hit ninety eight

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: thousand subs on this YouTube channel at some point, either

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: tonight or tomorrow. We are inching ever closer to one

35
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. And when we get there, oh what a

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: day it will be. Around here. In the meantime, we

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: got a I was going to say loaded, I was

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: going to say jam packed. Either one fits what this

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: show looks like tonight. So let's dive right in. We

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: do best, worst and most likely record scenarios a little

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: bit later, probably in August, about the time you guys

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: open camp, we'll be doing those. But as of tonight,

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do is a continuation of what

44
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: we did the other night. The most reasonable record projections

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: for major teams. That's where I want to start the show,

46
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: and I'm going to start with Georgia. This is not

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: the best case, this is not the worst case, but

48
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: kind of what's reasonable for the fan base down there

49
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: to expect. George is coming off a national championship, first

50
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: one in forty some odd years. You know all that

51
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: this is going to be a pretty set number for

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Georgia moving forward. I think the reasonable expectation for them

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: is eleven and one. They're going to kind of be

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: like Alabama from this point on. They're going to kind

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: of be like Ohio State from this point on. That's

56
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: pretty much the reasonable expectation every year when you have

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: the combination of a supremely talented roster and a high

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: caliber staff, and you've got the maximum investment and you've

59
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: got those boxes checked. Not many do, but when you

60
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: have that, yeah, eleven wins is the men expectation, and

61
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: you may see him drop a game, but rarely when

62
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: you have rosters like these, do you drop multiple games

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: in the regular season, and when you do, the natives

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: will rightfully consider it a disappointment. So yeah, we get that.

65
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: With Georgia eleven and one, they're going to be favored

66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: every week. So again, when you talk about a loss

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: here and you predict a loss or if you do,

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: it's never going to be about Oh, I think that's

69
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: the week in week four, that's the week in week seven.

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: When teams like Georgia lose, when teams like Alabama lose,

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: when teams like Ohio State lose. It normally looks like

72
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: last year when, for instance, Texas A and m As,

73
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: a three touchdown favorite, took down Alabama. And what you

74
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: got is you got a perfect storm of in that

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: case a night atmosphere, but you got a raucous environment,

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: and you had a quarterback do everything that he needed

77
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: to do in the second half, and you had an

78
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Alabama team a little bit wobbly still on the road.

79
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. That's the way you'll see Georgia

80
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: lose a game. I'm looking at their schedule right now.

81
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Week three at South Carolina. No one's well, hardly anyone's

82
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: going to predict them to lose that game. That's the

83
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: kind of game where if they got clipped at the

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: end of the season, you'd look back and you'd ask yourself, man,

85
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: how how did I not take that game more seriously?

86
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's not a prediction. I'm just as an

87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: anecdotal example kind of portraying why eleven and one is

88
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: a reasonable expectation for Georgia. Now we're going to do

89
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: a team that we were going to do the other night,

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: and we have perfect reason to slide them in here tonight.

91
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: What about Florida State. I'm glad we waited, Actually, Jesse,

92
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm glad we waited about seventy two hours on this

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: because I changed my mind. I was going to go

94
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: eight and four the other night. You know what I did.

95
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: I slid it down the scale a little bit, and

96
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: I put the reasonable expectation at seven and five. They're over.

97
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Underwin total is seven. So we're airing on the side

98
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: of aggression here with all of these reasonable expectations. Most

99
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: of my reasonable expectation win totals are going to be

100
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: overs in the betting market. I'm saying that up front.

101
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: So you know, at this point, if you want or

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: listen to Lake Kick. Famously, there's a stat around FSU

103
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: football where they didn't have a three hundred yard passing

104
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: game last year. Seven of their games were below two

105
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: hundred yards, so the offense was fairly anemic at times. Also,

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: I have spelled out for you whether it be holes

107
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: on the roster or where recruiting is, and the progression

108
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: overall of the team. Why I think a lot of

109
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: what I see with them is still a year away.

110
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: There's just like a bright blinking marquee above FSU football

111
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: right now, one year away. Still not from winning the

112
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: national title, mind you, but from legitimately calling for a

113
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: nine or maybe even ten win season and being in

114
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: contention for things they haven't been in contention for in

115
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: a while. I look right now, you know we had

116
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: the we got their schedule up right now. Actually they

117
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: opened against Ducane. This is one a few teams that

118
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: has a week zero game. But then they have LSU,

119
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: so that's the quote unquote neutral site game in New Orleans.

120
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: But after that, if you look at Dukane and Georgia

121
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: Tech and Syracuse and Louisana Lafayette, if I assume they

122
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: win all four of those games, which we're gonna do

123
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: just for argument's sake, for a moment, I've still got

124
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: to find three more or four more. If you're arguing

125
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: that it should be eight and four, that's reasonable for them.

126
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: I've got to find four more wins. Now. If you're

127
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: a Florida State fan, sure you can look at a

128
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: game at Louisville and say, oh, we should win that one.

129
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Boston College comes in here, we should win that one.

130
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: We'll have a puncher's chance against Wake Forest and NC

131
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: State more than a puncher's chance against those teams. Clemson

132
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: has to come into dough. Yeah. I understand how it sounds,

133
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: but you guys also remember what it was like last year.

134
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: So do we think we've made a quantum leap forward

135
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: or do we think we've taken a steady, maybe a

136
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: decent stride link forward. Because if we have seven and

137
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: five is what this year would look like. Eight and

138
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: four I think would be a big success for them

139
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: this year. I'm going to go seven and five though.

140
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: Penn State next up, let's head to the big ten,

141
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: Penn State. I'm going to get pretty aggressive here. There

142
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: were seven and six last year. Penn State. I reasonably

143
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: expect them to be at ten and two this year.

144
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: If I am a Ninny Lions fan, same theme as

145
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I think we talked about this a

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: little bit on the Sunday Show. When we were entering

147
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season. We knew, if we were

148
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: Penn State fans, a couple of things. We knew that

149
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: we were opening on the road at Wisconsin, and we

150
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: knew we had Auburn coming in here in Week three

151
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: and those were going to be coin flip point spread games.

152
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: But if we won both of them, we could be

153
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: off to the races. Well, here was the good bad

154
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: of that. The good news is they won both of

155
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: the games. Then the bad news is they went to

156
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Iowa undefeated and they came back with one loss and

157
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: no quarterback. And also Will Levis had transferred, so they

158
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: really were in dire straits at the quarterback position, and

159
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: then the season went off the rails. Okay, well, we

160
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: got that quarterback back in Sean Clifford, and we've got

161
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: a fresh start this year. But it feels a lot

162
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty one because what do we have, lom hold,

163
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: We got a road game against Purdue to start the year,

164
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: we're favored by three. Then two weeks later we're going

165
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: to go to Auburn, very unfamiliar territory, fie for us

166
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: on the road, and that lines like one either way.

167
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: So another pair of coin flip games in the first

168
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: three weeks of the season for Penn State will largely well,

169
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: I guess it'll totally spell out whether I've got a

170
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: shot with this ten and two reasonable record projection or not,

171
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: because if they drop either one of those games, which

172
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: I need them to be two and oh in, if

173
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: they drop either one of them, and I know I've

174
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: still got to go to Michigan, I've got Minnesota, I've

175
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: got Ohio State, and I've got Michigan State at the

176
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: end of the year. It's gonna be tough. Not undoable,

177
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be tough. However, if you're watching on

178
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: YouTube and you're looking at the schedule, imagine if they

179
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: do get through that Ohio State game, if they get

180
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: through October with one loss or undefeated, it's a whole

181
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: different ballgame. And if they're a one loss team and

182
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: they get into November, it's not exactly a murderersero. In November,

183
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: they go to Indiana, then they've got Maryland, then they

184
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: go to Rutgers, and then they've got a big game

185
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: against Michigan State to end the season. So number of

186
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: things could happen here. But again I told you, we're

187
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: airing on the side of aggression with these expectations ten

188
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: and two, it is reasonable for you to expect that

189
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,119
Speaker 1: the South Carolina Gamecocks are one of the most fascinating

190
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: teams when it comes to this exercise. I was doing

191
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: radio in Charlotte yesterday and I was asked about all

192
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: the local teams in and around the Carolinas, and South

193
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: Carolina came up. And you know how, a lot of

194
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: times in college football you can get fooled into thinking

195
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: progression or regression for that matter, is always linear. So

196
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: if we're going to progress as a team, and we

197
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: won seven games last year, by the very definition of

198
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: record progress, we've got to be at eight wins or

199
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: more this year, right, Well, it's not right. That's not

200
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: always how it works. Progression is not always linear in

201
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: sports or in life. And secondly, you are a lot

202
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: of times beholden to what your schedule says you are

203
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: instead of what your record says you are. The over underwin.

204
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm total right now for the game Cocks. For those

205
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: not familiar as six, I am going to make the

206
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: reasonable record projection for them seven and five. And you

207
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: might think to yourself immediately, well, didn't they just win

208
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: seven games last year? That would be kind of disappointing,

209
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. Well, let me tell you a little story.

210
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: It's called the South Carolina game Cocks twenty twenty two

211
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: football schedule. It's really, really tough, and I don't even

212
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: include Clemson on the end of it. I'm just talking

213
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: about the conference schedule, but they do have, obviously the

214
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: Clemson Tigers at the end. Here's what I'm looking at.

215
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you four games in the kind of

216
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: forsake of argument light, I'm gonna consider wins. They got

217
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Georgia State, South Carolina State, Charlotte, and at Vanderbilt. We're

218
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna call that four and zero for the time being,

219
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: even if we have four wins already under our belt. Here,

220
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: listen to this lineup at Arkansas, Georgia, at Kentucky A

221
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: and M. Missouri, at Florida Tennessee at Clemson. I was

222
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: just doing a quick scan of the projected point spreads

223
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: or the lines that had already been released. Guys, they

224
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: could be a dog in six or seven of those games.

225
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: They could be a point spread underdog in six or

226
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: seven of their remaining games. So if we're going to

227
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: get to eight and four, which is better than I'm

228
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: calling at seven and five, if you're going to argue

229
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: with me that it should be higher, I should be

230
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: calling eight and four or nine and three. Here, you're

231
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: telling me, essentially, they probably got a sweep Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee,

232
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: or they got to pull a pretty sizable upset against

233
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: maybe a Georgia or an A and M at Clemson

234
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: at Florida. All that, you know, technically is possible. But

235
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at having to string some things together here

236
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: to get above seven wins, which was the mark last year,

237
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: that I don't know is reasonable to expect. Certainly in

238
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: a best case scenario, it's possible. I don't think it's reasonable.

239
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair. I'll say that much. I

240
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: don't think it's fair to just start to start looking

241
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: at Shane Bieber and saying, all right, well, if you're

242
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: really the guy we think you are, eight or nine

243
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: wins this year. If you get that done, then we

244
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: know you're the right guy for the job. I don't

245
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: necessarily look at South Carolina that way, So seven and

246
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: five is my reasonable expectation for them. And last, but

247
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: not least, let's go all the way to the other

248
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: side of the country. What about USC. This is going

249
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: to be a highly covered team this year and they

250
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: were four and eight last year, So how much improvement

251
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: should we expect? On one hand, we know Lincoln Riley

252
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: has come in and in a unprecedented manner overhauled the roster,

253
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: including at quarterback. So if you were gonna if you

254
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: were going to err on the side of aggression, this

255
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: would be the team to do it. With four and

256
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: eight last year, co favorites to win the Pac twelve.

257
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,479
Speaker 1: Right now, I said nine to three is a reasonable expectation.

258
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: They're over underwent total is nine, so even by the

259
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: let of the odds makers, this is not overly aggressive.

260
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: I think that you gotta be careful suffering from what

261
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: I call preview mag syndrome. Preview magazine season is upon us,

262
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: and every time you open one of those things, after

263
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: you smell it, which we all have to do, after

264
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: you smell the preview magazine. Then you look at rosters.

265
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Don't they look so pristine? Don't they look so great?

266
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: There's not a single red sharpie line through any starter,

267
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: there's not a single torn acl there's not a single

268
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: broken arm or sprain need But yet, what do you

269
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: and I both know? None of those preview magazines in

270
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: July ever, end up looking like your actual roster does

271
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: in November, which makes there to be a D word

272
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: that's one of the most important in the sport, and

273
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: that is depth. Does USC have the depth? According to

274
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: their own head coach, Lincoln Riley, throughout spring they view

275
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: that to be an ongoing issue. That's why they've been

276
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: so active in the portal. Think they had something like

277
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: sixty scholarship players in the spring. Not where they need

278
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: to be. Yet it's impossible, even with the moves they've made,

279
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: to get where they need to be. That's a multi

280
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: year process. Again, even in the portal era, that's a

281
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: multi year process. But even having said all that, when

282
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: you start to look at the schedule, they open against

283
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: food aka rice, They go to Stanford, Fresno State, at

284
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: Oregon State, Arizona State, Washington State. I'm already through half

285
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: the season, They're going to be favored in every one

286
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: of these games. So you might be wondering where they losing.

287
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: Are they losing at Utah? I could see that, But

288
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: then Arizona's not beaten USC. Cow's not beating USC. You

289
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: gotta be careful talking like that because with questionable depth

290
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: at places like corner in the offensive line, a lot

291
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: of cohesion that needs to happen for you to go

292
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: from being parts to a functioning machine or in this case,

293
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: a football team. Sometimes if that doesn't happen on everyone's

294
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: preferred timetable, some upsets happen that you didn't see coming.

295
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: So I know, you don't look at a trip to

296
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Oregon State right now, or you don't look at Washington

297
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: State coming in there in week what is that six

298
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: or something like that. Now you don't look at those

299
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: games and think USC should lose them. But yet at

300
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: the same time, because of the volatile nature of the

301
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: style of team they're going to have this year, well

302
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: volatile in terms of result, potential result, it's all on

303
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: the table. And then on the back half, they do

304
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: have games, like I said, at Utah, they do go

305
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: to UCLA they've gotten Notre Dame, so it gets a

306
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: little bit tougher in the back half, but even in

307
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: the front half, this is not going to be a

308
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,479
Speaker 1: team this year where you look around in the preseason

309
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: and you just dial up the w's. In years to come,

310
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: we may very well feel comfortable enough with usc to

311
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: do that. This is year one. In some cases it's

312
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: a year zero because of the way they're having to

313
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: hit the reset button there, but they're going to be

314
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: capable of doing things this year. I don't disagree with

315
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: odds makers when they install them as a co favorite.

316
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: That has a little bit more to do with the

317
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: conference they're in than maybe the caliber of team they're

318
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: going to have this year. They're not going to be

319
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: an elite team this year. But as for expectation this year, yeah,

320
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: I think nine and three is fair because it's reasonable

321
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: and that it takes into account all of the potential

322
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: depth concerns if and when injuries crop up, and also

323
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: just what it takes to become a team. This is

324
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: not Xbox. You don't just throw a bunch of pieces

325
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: in a blender, hit the button for five seconds, pour

326
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: it out, and fall camp boom. Got you got a

327
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: football team. That's not the way teams are formed. That's

328
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: the way talent is acquired. But getting the talent versus

329
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: having the team two different things. Lincoln Riley's got to

330
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: build a team out there. That's what they're in the

331
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: process of doing. So nine and three I think's pretty

332
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: reasonable for USC. I had an email from one of

333
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: you a couple of days ago, and I already sent

334
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: it to the proper authorities, but I wanted to read

335
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: it on the show tonight. This is from rob in

336
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: New York. I know many of you have been in

337
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: this position, he said. I wanted to reach out and

338
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: send a very sincere thank you. I was born and

339
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: raised in New York. I'm from Long Island. We have

340
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: no Academy Sports and Outdoors in my area. I've actually

341
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: never heard of the brand until you brought them up

342
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: as a sponsor. They recently came up huge for me.

343
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: As of last week, I am now officially a homeowner.

344
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: Congratulations to rob By the Way. And I was in

345
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: need of a new grill for years. I've wanted what

346
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: I consider my dream grill. The only place that had

347
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: a deal on that grill was Academy. None of the

348
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: other big name stores had a discount or a deal

349
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: of any kind. Academy did. And because of that, very shortly,

350
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: I'll be able to start cooking up amazing meals from

351
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: my family and friends for years to come, and most

352
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: importantly on college Saturdays. Love the show, all the best, Robbed,

353
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: and for any doubters out there. Rob included a screenshot

354
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: of his receipt. Academy Sports and Outdoors, as I tell

355
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: you two or three times a week, depending on the

356
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: frequency of the broadcast, is your one stop shop for

357
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: almost everything in life. I don't know that they sell

358
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: diapers there. Pretty much no one sells baby formula right

359
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: now in this country. But outside of those and maybe

360
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: a few other odds and ends, Academy Sports and Outdoors

361
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: has everything you need. Certainly your bats and balls and

362
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: gloves are there. But also Rob found his grill hookup

363
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: at Academy Sports out Doors. And you know what else,

364
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: Academy has our back. That's why, with prices going up

365
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: all over the place, we are still free and we

366
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: will be because they pay the bills for us. Thank

367
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: you so much to Academy Sports and Outdoors, and thank

368
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: you to those watching us. In let's say We had

369
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: three written down here Indianapolis, Indiana tuned in, Houston, Texas

370
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: is tuned in, and Savannah, Georgia tuned in. Tonight, Bold

371
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: Predictions rolls on. I knew what was coming today, but

372
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: I walked in the office and I didn't want to

373
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: say anything because I wanted to see which production executive

374
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: or maybe just outright producer or director around here was

375
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: going to come up to me. And you know who

376
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: it was. It was Zach production executive. Zach came up

377
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: to me and said, why don't we just call this

378
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Bold Predictions X seven because WrestleMania seventeen was called WrestleMania

379
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: X seven instead of the classical Roman numerals. And you

380
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to allow it. Why not Bold

381
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: Predictions X seven or you might call it Chapter seventeen tonight.

382
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: These are things that you claim you would bet your

383
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: own money on, and we are rolling really deep at

384
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: this point. There is some extreme boldness tonight. I'm gonna

385
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: try not to laugh because you deserve to be taken seriously.

386
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: This first one, we could see it happen. Okay, we've

387
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: talked about this. So the first one is from suffering

388
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: Tennessee fan and he slash she They to be saved.

389
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Say Tennessee finally beats Alabama after sixteen years, and I

390
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: get to remove the suffering part out of my name.

391
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: Also side note, the last time we beat Bama, I

392
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: was two years old. Some quick math tells me that

393
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: you are a legal adult now. If you were two

394
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: years old the last time Tennessee beat Alabama, that would

395
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: have been two thousand and six. And I put this

396
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: at an eight. This is not the boldest thing in

397
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: the world. It's pretty bold. We've got a point spread

398
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: already on this game. So if you wanted to go

399
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: bet this game right now, you could. You could go

400
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: to Well depending on your sports book of choice, you

401
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: could go there and probably get Alabama or Tennessee if

402
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: you want to bet Tennessee plus thirteen and a half

403
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: or plus fourteen. The lines hovering around two touchdowns. The

404
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: games at Kneelan and if you're going to play Bama,

405
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: where would you rather have them than coming off back

406
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: to back games at Arkansas and against Texas A and M.

407
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: If you believe in the whole body blow theory in

408
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: college sports and college football, which you should, it matters.

409
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: It's a real thing. Even for teams as deep as Alabama. Yeah,

410
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: that's when you want to get them. Now, it's not

411
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: the easiest week before for Tennessee because I think they're

412
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: at LSU. So both of these teams are going to

413
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: be coming off pretty physical games. But imagine Tennessee being

414
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: five and zero, which is the scenario that selfishly a

415
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: lot of us around here thinking about, because selfishly, you know,

416
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: this is one of my favorite rivalry names. Third Saturday

417
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: in October. And I of course have never been in

418
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: the building when Tennessee won this game. I've been I've

419
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: been at the game many times, never seen Tennessee win

420
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: the game. I don't even need them to win it.

421
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: I would just like to see them, for spectacles purposes,

422
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: be undefeated when we arrive at the game. What would

423
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: that take. It would take a win on the road

424
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: against pitt which could happen, And it would take a

425
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: win against Florida in week four, could happen, And then

426
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: it would take a win on the road at LSU. Now,

427
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: any one of those are possible, if not likely to happen.

428
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: Are all three of them capable of happening? Percentage wise?

429
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it at fifty to fifty, but I

430
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't put it at three either, so you know, somewhere

431
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: between there, it's possible Tennessee beating Alabama. Though I'm gonna

432
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: put it at an eight. It's still fairly bold. But

433
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: notice it's not a ten. So hey, things are looking

434
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: up in Knoxville. Next up, this one's really bold. I'm

435
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and tell you what my boldness

436
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: scale on this is. It's a nine and a half.

437
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: Grayson said. The National Championship Game will feature two teams

438
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: that have never been to the playoff before. So I

439
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: had producer Jesse do you a favor and me and

440
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: I had him compile a quick list of the teams

441
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: that have been to the playoff. A lot of them

442
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: you could rattle off. You of course, know about Ohio

443
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: State and Bam mcclems in Georgia, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Yeah

444
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: you remember them. How many people off the top of

445
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: their head, remember that Oregon was in the first playoff

446
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: back in twenty fourteen. Florida State was in the first playoff.

447
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: They played each other, actually in twenty fourteen. Michigan State's

448
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: been there, Washington's been there sincey Michigan So those are

449
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: the teams that have been there. Therefore they do not

450
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: qualify for this. The prediction is both teams in the

451
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: national title game will be newbies, fresh blood when it

452
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: comes to the playoff. So, Jesse, show me some teams

453
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: we could be talking about here. We could be talking

454
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: about A and m USC has yet to taste that playoff, Utah, Wisconsin, Texas,

455
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State always a sleeper there, Baylor last year's Big

456
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: twelve champ, they haven't been there yet, Florida, Iowa, Pit Miami,

457
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 1: Penn State. So these are some of the teams we're

458
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: talking about. Look at that list, or think about it

459
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcast. Do you see USC versus Baylor?

460
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: Do you see A and M versus Pitt? What about

461
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Miami versus Oklahoma State? Do you see some combination of

462
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: these teams or a team that has even longer odds

463
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: to play for a national championship? Do you see that

464
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: this year? I don't. So this is a nine and

465
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: a half for me. And I'll tell you. You may think

466
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: back to as recently as this past year, twenty twenty one,

467
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: and you may say this is not that bold Josh calls.

468
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: Remember two of the four teams in the playoff this

469
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: past year were newbies Michigan, Cincinnati. They were new So

470
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: it almost happened, didn't it. No, it didn't almost happen.

471
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: Michigan got splattered, as did Cincinnati. And therefore you realize

472
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: how different the challenge is making the playoff versus playing

473
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: for the national title. Oh, you could get there now,

474
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: you can navigate your way there winning once you get there,

475
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: and in this case, needing two new blood teams to

476
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: win when they get there, that is a much taller task.

477
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: So I'm calling that a nine and a half. This

478
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: next one's really bold. Let's go to the ACC. Jamison said.

479
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: Clemson has the same disappointing year this year as last year.

480
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: They do not make the ACC championship. This is an

481
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: eight for me. I would be moderately stunned if Clemson

482
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: did not at least play for the ACC championship. But

483
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: notice I didn't say ten, I only said eight. They

484
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: are the overwhelming odds on favorite to win the ACC.

485
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: In this case, I just need them to play for

486
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: the conference championship. But what have we seen in years past?

487
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: And how would Clemson's hopes and dreams get derailed this year.

488
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: If that were to come to pass well easily, it

489
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: would be the same way that they got derailed last year.

490
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: We've seen this before. We've seen teams waste good to

491
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: great defensive performances because they couldn't score if their life

492
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: depended on it. Remember, last year, Clemson lost two games,

493
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: So everyone looks back and they remember ten and two,

494
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: or I guess eleven and two if they won the

495
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: bowl game, which I think they did. So I don't

496
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: want to draw your attention to the two losses. What

497
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: I want to do is illustrate to you how close

498
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: it was to being worse. There goes to the pop

499
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: of the paper. You know, they had wins against teams

500
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: like Georgia Tech and Boston College and Syracuse and Louisville.

501
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: Those four wins were by one possession. Guys. In some

502
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: of those cases they didn't even top twenty points, So

503
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: those were close games. One bounce of a ball here

504
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: or there changes the outcome in those games. And they

505
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: beat FSU by ten. So they lost two games. Last year,

506
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: they had another four games that we won possession, five

507
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: games that were ten points or less. And I say

508
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: that to say, if they have not improved offensively a

509
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: significant margin this year all of a sudden. If you

510
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: look at this year's schedule, yeah, your eyes automatically go

511
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: to the game against Wake Forest or against NC State,

512
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: But if they can't score, if they haven't improved, if

513
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: they're not more vers an explosive in the past game,

514
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: Louisville's in play at Notre Name, certainly in play. Sarahcusees

515
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: in play at Florida State's in play at Boston College,

516
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: South Carolina. At the end of the year, Miami. My

517
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: point is, if they don't make the ACC Championship game, period,

518
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: it will no doubt be because they had the same

519
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: problems as last year. They're over under win totals ten

520
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: and a half. So if you believe that they're gonna

521
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: have those problems, there you go. And in fact, they're

522
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: even giving you a little leniency on the juice to

523
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: the under. It's only minus one oh five. If you

524
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: believe that Clemson will struggle again, there's some pretty easy

525
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: money on the board. Because here's a spoiler. If they

526
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: do have the same problems they had last year, not

527
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: to mention if they're even more pronounced because of whatever

528
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: you think, the result is going to be of losing

529
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: both coordinators, they will not win more than ten and

530
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: a half games. So they're either going to be completely

531
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: overhauled this year and it's a non issue, or they

532
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: will finish ten and two or worse again. I happen

533
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: to believe they will play for the ACC championship, So

534
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna call that an eight. This next

535
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: one is comfortably in nine territory. How about this. Try

536
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: this one on for size out there. Minnesota will go

537
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: eleven and one. They're gonna win the Big Ten West.

538
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: They will take Ohio State to the wire in the

539
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: conference championship game before losing. With Kirk sharraka back, Tanner

540
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: Morgan at quarterback, Chris Autman, Bell, and Dylan Wright, they're

541
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: gonna tear up the Big Ten. Respectfully, I don't believe that,

542
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: so I'm calling this a nine point three on the

543
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: Boldness Scale, our first ever nine point three. Let's discuss

544
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: preseason odds for just a second to give you a

545
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: clear understanding of what's being predicted. Here. Here are the

546
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: Big Ten West odds, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, Purdue, and then

547
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: there's Minnesota. There. They have the fifth best odds to

548
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: win this division. So our prediction of eleven and one

549
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: and Big Ten West champs. If you believe that and

550
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: the rules here are, you would be willing to bet

551
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: your money on it. You gonna be pretty rich come

552
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: December if it does pan out, because they are very

553
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: very long shots to do this right now. One loss.

554
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: One loss here, eleven and one means that at Michigan State,

555
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: at Penn State, Purdue at Nebraska, Iowa at Wisconsin, we're

556
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: navigating all that. With just one loss, it sure would

557
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: be one of the biggest stories in college football. I

558
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: get the whole Tanner Morgan being reconnected with his old

559
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Kurt Soraka. I get all that, But here's

560
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: what else I get. They had that before and were

561
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: never able to come close to eleven and one. And secondly,

562
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: their offensive the defensive lines got pretty decimated and they

563
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: are relying on a lot of transfer help there. And

564
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: if all of those pieces don't pan out, or much less,

565
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: if there's injury that comes into play, they can't come

566
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: close to this. Most good teams can't come close to this,

567
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: and by good I mean preseason top fifteen. It is

568
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: hard in a Power five conference to finish eleven and one.

569
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: So I'm going to call this a nine point three

570
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. Last for tonight but not least,

571
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: Michael said, LSU will make a New Year's six Bowl game.

572
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: We never lack talent except at the coaching level, and

573
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: now we have that. What a world we live in

574
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: where you can justifiably or justifiably my bad refer to

575
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: your former coach as not being talented and the guy

576
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: won a national championship. It's fascinating. I'm going to call

577
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: this an eight. I think a lot of you think

578
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: it's more bold because they're over under win total is seven.

579
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: So how in the world are they about to make

580
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: a New Year six game? Well, part of it is

581
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: out of LSU's hands. See Old Miss. Whether you remember

582
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: this or not, Old Miss played in a New Year's

583
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: six Bowl game. Last year they played in the Sugar Bowl.

584
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 1: How did that happen? Well, you had to have two

585
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: things come together. The first, Ole Miss had to overachieve,

586
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: which they did. But then the second thing, that was

587
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: even more important, is you had to have two teams

588
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: from the SEC in the playoff. So Bama was there,

589
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: Georgia was there. Well, what does that do. That takes

590
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: two teams that would normally be taking up spots from

591
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: your conference in those New Year six games, and it

592
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: redirects them, which means they have to dive to the

593
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: number three seed or the number four seed, or whatever

594
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: the case may be to fill out the allotment for

595
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: the SEC in the New Year six games. So if

596
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: LSU ended up being this year's ole miss, if they're

597
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: a nine win team or a ten win team or

598
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: something like that, even if one of the losses is

599
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: to Alabama, that's okay. If Bama and Georgia were in

600
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: the playoff again, then whoever that surprise team is, whoever

601
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 1: that third place, fourth place team, however that shakes out,

602
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: whichever teams are there, they're the ones contending for and

603
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: competing for a spot that otherwise would not have been

604
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: open if your conference teams didn't make the playoff. So,

605
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: because that is out, there is a lingering possibility. Even

606
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: though it's a fringe possibility, I'm going to call this

607
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: an eight. You've got depth, which we talked about a

608
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: lot tonight. It's going to creep in as an issue

609
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: for LSU this year schedule just because of the division

610
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: they play, in is an issue and growing pains. You know,

611
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: for everyone who looks at the problems you had under

612
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: ed or Jerram, but those same people being happy that

613
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's in the house, Why are you happy? You

614
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: would tell me yourself you're happy because Brian Kelly has

615
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: a different way of doing things. That's true. I'm not

616
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: telling you don't be excited about that, but I am

617
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: saying as far as twenty twenty two is concerned. That

618
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: means by default, there are some guys in that program

619
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: that we're getting away with things in the past that

620
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: the new guy is not going to let him get

621
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: away with. And sometimes that's not the smoothest transition in

622
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: the world. So growing pains is always an issue when

623
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: you're flipping culturally as well as flipping your coaching staff roster.

624
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: And they've got some guys they lost to the portal.

625
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Eli Ricks should be on this team. He's

626
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: playing for Alabama, not to mention losing some of those

627
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: other guys in the secondary. We do not know who's

628
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: going to start at quarterback for LSU yet. So anyway,

629
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying all that to say there's a world where

630
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: this happens, but it would require some help elsewhere and

631
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: them to win some games that they're not expected to

632
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: win this year. Lincoln, Nebraska. They're tuned in there tonight, Savannah, Georgia.

633
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: I already think I already said, Savannah. That means two

634
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: of you checked in from Savannah Hopkinsville, Kentucky tuned in

635
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: as well. We had a couple of questions that I

636
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: wanted to hit here, and these are well, I tell you,

637
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: the first one we're going to talk about came kind

638
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: of out of left field, but you know what, I've

639
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: got a pretty definitive stance on it, so I'm glad

640
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: they asked it. Let's dive into the mailbag. I want

641
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: you to answer this along with me, because I think

642
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: it's pretty safe to say everyone's got a feel on this.

643
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: First question, Urban Meyer stunk with my team and was

644
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: a terrible fit. This is a Jaguars fan, but his

645
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: college resume speaks for itself. Do you think he'll ever

646
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: return to the college game as a coach? Hashtag pate state.

647
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: There is no doubt in my mind, So there's no

648
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: fence riding here is no doubt in my mind. Urban

649
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: Meyer is going to be a college football head coach

650
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: again one day. I don't know what year that is,

651
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's too far away. This guy

652
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: is not complete without football. Urban Meyer. As long as

653
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: he has been drawing breath on this earth, he's been

654
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: involved with the game in some way. He has coached

655
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: for years and years and years. Now. He's only in

656
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: his late fifties, and legacy means a lot to guys

657
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: like this. So if anyone in their right mind thinks

658
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: that the last thing urban Meyer is going to allow

659
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: you to remember about him is whatever we call what

660
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: just happened in Jacksonville this past year, you're crazy. Now.

661
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: I've had some people text me about this. I asked

662
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: around today to some people kind of on the administrative side,

663
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: people who would be involved in the hiring process. They said,

664
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: what a lot of folks in our industry say. They said, Well,

665
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: he's going to have to repair and rehabilitate his image

666
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: from who or for who. He's not running for public office.

667
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes think we conflate these two things. If you're a

668
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: college football coach, you have to appeal to one group

669
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: of people, and that's the group that's going to hire

670
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: you and your fan base. It doesn't matter if the

671
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: rest of the world despises you, you got to be able

672
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: to appeal to your people, and you've got to be

673
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: able to sell your program to recruits. And if you

674
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: can do that, it doesn't matter. You think Jimbo Fisher

675
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: cares that you hate him in Tuscaloosa, Alabama right now. No,

676
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: he's not worrying about repairing his image for people elsewhere.

677
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: He's worried about folks in college station and he's worried

678
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: about four and five star recruits. And if they believe

679
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: in you and they're buying what you're selling, doesn't matter

680
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: what the rest of the country thinks. So I'm telling

681
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: you I haven't missed any headline. I've seen and read

682
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: the same things you have about Urban Meyer. And if

683
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: he was running for public office, it'd be a problem.

684
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: But he wants to be a college football head coach again,

685
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: I think, and if he wants to be that, he's

686
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: going to be that. So he doesn't have much which

687
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: of an image problem to rehab. That's a lot more

688
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: talking point in our world than in the world that

689
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: he lives in. That's my take on that. The other

690
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: thing here is, which I don't know how long it's

691
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: going to take. So I don't expect him to be

692
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: a head coach this year. Obviously it may not even

693
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: be a twenty twenty three thing. But when when you

694
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: think about what you need to do, if you have

695
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: tried out something and it's failed, there is this group

696
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: of people out there that is seemingly incapable of understanding

697
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: the difference between trying to be an NFL head coach

698
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: and trying to be a college head coach. The only

699
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: thing that is similar about these is the shape of

700
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: the ball that they put in play when it's time

701
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: to strap it up, and you know when the clock

702
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: starts on Sunday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. This is a

703
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: different world. These are different galaxies. The ability for you

704
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: to go acquire sixteen and seventeen year old talent and

705
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: have proportionately tilted in your favorite resources and having about

706
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: as much say as you could possibly have in the

707
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: day to day operations of your organization versus what the

708
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: NFL is. It's just two different worlds. So yeah, I

709
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: know they call it football, but that's about where the

710
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: similarities begin and end. Urban Meyer's tailor made for college football.

711
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer was so woefully ill equipped to be an

712
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: NFL head coach. I think he knows that now. Whether

713
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: he does or not, it's irrelevant. He'll never get a

714
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: shot to be the former again, but the latter he

715
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: could be my head coach at Peyton State. So I

716
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: don't care what you think about him. Here's what I

717
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: would do, urban Meyer, and I'm pretty sure this is

718
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. I'd get myself back on TV

719
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: as quickly as I could, because he's one of the

720
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: best I've ever seen to come off the sideline and

721
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: get in the booth or get on the desk on

722
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: game day or on big noon kickoff as it were

723
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: with Fox and Talk Football in ways that the mass

724
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: public understands. Urban Meyer is so phenomenal that so if

725
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: you are of the camp that believes he needs to

726
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: rehabilitate his image, he'll do it, probably this year on TV,

727
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: and he'll make a comfortable living doing that, and watch

728
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: and see week over week you'll start to soften on

729
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: him and you won't be alone there. The rest of

730
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: the country will start to soften and you'll remember, Wow,

731
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: this guy knows football in case you forgot I. And secondly,

732
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: you know he's got a little more personality to him

733
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: than people realize comes across comes through the screen very well.

734
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: He explains this game in a way that I understand it,

735
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to remember more and more as I

736
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: watch him as the weeks go by here on TV,

737
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: that this guy was great when he was in college.

738
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't need him to be an NFL coach if

739
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: I want him to be a college coach. Seems like

740
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: he's still got that fire. That's how people will feel

741
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: as the weeks go on. His agent, his representation will

742
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: be doing their due diligence behind the curtain, and then

743
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: will eventually come the time, whether it's a year from now,

744
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: two years and not three years now, where the right

745
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: job comes open, and all urban Meyer has to do

746
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: at that point is take his college resume, PLoP it

747
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: down in someone's lap that's eventually going to make the

748
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: decision as to whether to hire him or not, and say,

749
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: how bad do you want that? How bad do you

750
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: want those results? Because I'm still every bit as capable

751
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: of delivering them as I always have been, and I

752
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: could be here, I could be across the field from

753
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: you make up your mind. There are some people who

754
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 1: believe he's going to have to re enter this world

755
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: at a G five level. There are some people. I

756
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: had one person tell me today, don't be surprised to

757
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: see him pop up at Bowling Green, which is where

758
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: you got to start as a head coach. I don't

759
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: think that's the craziest thing in the world. I'm just

760
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: telling you from my perspective, I don't think it's necessary

761
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: for him to have to reprove himself. And I'm just

762
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: speaking as someone who hypothetically runs a Power five program,

763
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: which we are at Peyton State. He don't have to

764
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: reprove anything to me, and he doesn't have to be likable.

765
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: He just has to be able to do the same

766
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: things that he was doing forehand. And here's the added bonus.

767
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: Maybe he even learned a thing or two. Maybe he

768
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: even redefined a way to do a thing or two.

769
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: So maybe I get a better version of him. Yes, Yes,

770
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: urban Meyer will be a head coach again. Next up.

771
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: MIAs is always exciting, Always an exciting question from Stilton, Pennsylvania.

772
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: Can't wait for the season? Love the show? Give me

773
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: your most loaded Saturday of the season. And I'm not

774
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: talking about Jackie cot Well. Neither a week because neither

775
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 1: brand sponsors us so which Saturdays are the most loaded

776
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: this year? I remember doing the segment last year, got

777
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: me so excited. Here we go. October eighth is your Saturday.

778
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: October eighth is Week six, just like last year, or

779
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: the first or second Saturday in October that week six window.

780
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: It was the same last year. It's going to be

781
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: that way this year too. Here is what we have

782
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: to look forward to on that Saturday. This is the

783
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: Saturday that you get what you've all been waiting for

784
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: in the South, which is Texas A and m at Alabama.

785
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: And that's a night game, so I'm not going in

786
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: chronological order. Before that happens, you get Oklahoma versus Texas

787
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: in Dallas, and that's gonna, I guess, be your noon kickoff.

788
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: It doesn't stop their friends. There is a big regional game.

789
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee at LSU is that day, huge game on the

790
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: West coast, Utah at USC that could be for the

791
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: PAC twelve South. Ucla will have something to say about that.

792
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State is at Michigan State. Spartan's desperate to atone

793
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: for that drubbing last year. You've got Brigham Young and

794
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 1: Notre Dame on this day. You've got Clemson at Boston

795
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: College in a spot that may not stand out to you,

796
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: but it should if you understand who Clemson plays the

797
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: two or three weeks before that, and who they play

798
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: after that. Auburn is at Georgia on this Saturday. It's

799
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: a loaded, loaded Saturday. Marquee games, Tier two games, you

800
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: got games with conference implications on them, and everywhere in between.

801
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: So October eighth, week six, that is I think the

802
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: biggest Saturday of the year. Certainly not the only Saturday

803
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: that matters, though we've taken any given Saturday approach around here,

804
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: so you don't have to wait until week six. Let

805
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: me draw your attention to week two. I know all

806
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: of you are busy looking at week one. We all

807
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: have week one memorized. Look at week two. Talk about

808
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: an out of conference special. Here Oklahoma at Nebraska, and

809
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: this is kind of it's week three for Nebraska. I

810
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: guess you know what that is. Week This is week three,

811
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: isn't it, Jesse. I think I accidentally wrote week two

812
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: September seventeenth, week three. Okay, so this is the right day,

813
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: it's just the wrong week. Week three. Oklahoma at Nebraska,

814
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: Penn State at Auburn. These are all out of conference games,

815
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: but they're all in a home venue, no neutral sides here,

816
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: Brigham Young at Oregon. Notice how much Brigham Young popping

817
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: up on this. Michigan State at Washington, Miami at Texas

818
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: A and M. And then we've got a couple of

819
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: games down here. Uga at South Carolina. That's a conference game.

820
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: Texas Tech at NC State is a bad game there either.

821
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's exactly going to turn into an

822
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: annual classic rivalry. But we've got a lot of out

823
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: of conference, true road games that day. And that's in

824
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: week two or week three. Keep saying week two cause

825
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: I accidentally wrote week two. I got one more for you, though.

826
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: Let's go deeper into October. October twenty ninth, Week nine.

827
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: You has some heavy hitters here, Ohio State at Penn State.

828
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: They've already confirmed it as big noon kickoff, much to

829
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: the chagrin of ninety nine point nine percent of the population.

830
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: You're looking at the zero point zero one percent here,

831
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: Georgia versus Florida in Jacksonville is this day? Ole miss

832
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: Is at Texas A and m Michigan State at Michigan,

833
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: pitt at North Carolina. Those are a couple of the

834
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: teams right below Clemson as the favorites to win the ACC.

835
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is at Iowa State dangerous road spot there, Kentucky

836
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. Right beneath Georgia. Talking about the hierarchy of

837
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: the SEC East, Arkansas, Auburn, ditto in the West. Those

838
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 1: are a lot of conference games, lot of conference flavor there.

839
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,479
Speaker 1: But though those three Saturdays, week two or week three,

840
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: Week six, week nine, they're all divisible by three. That's

841
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: what I know about. Every three weeks you got a

842
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: monster slate of games, and then you know, in between

843
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: you've got pretty good slates of games. So it's gonna

844
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: be a loaded twenty twenty two. You know, I've got

845
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: one more thing to talk to you about here, and

846
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: so I guess I'll say what I was about to

847
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: say for the end of this segment. But that's a

848
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: look to wrap that up. That's a look at some

849
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: of the most loaded Saturdays this year. I appreciate you

850
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: guys being tuned in if you are, by the way,

851
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: and I just put in the live chat little call

852
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: to action for you. Man. We're getting so close to

853
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand subs. Okay, speaking of that, I'll wrap

854
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: back around with that in a second. Brandon Marcelo has

855
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,959
Speaker 1: a really good article on the twenty four to seven

856
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: sports dot com home page right now, and that is

857
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: something that you need to just print out and you

858
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: need to pin it on your refrigerator, or you can

859
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: just bookmark this show, and it is dates you need

860
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: to know because there's a lot of stuff coming up,

861
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: and there are rule changes you need to know, and

862
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: there's some stuff about late kick. All the stuff's happening

863
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: right now. We've got less than eighty days until the

864
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: season kicks off. So here's what you need to know.

865
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: Big recruiting visits happening right now. June eighteenth through the

866
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: twenty sixth, there's going to be a madhouse. Everyone's going

867
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: to try to get really really big visit weekends there

868
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: because after that we're going to go into sort of

869
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: a dead period for a little while. So the eighteenth

870
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: through the twenty six got huge recruiting visits. Then June

871
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: twenty third through twenty sixth, the Manning Passing Academy is happening.

872
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: And that's noteworthy because a lot of the big current

873
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: college quarterbacks go down to I think they do it

874
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: in Tibodeaux, Louisiana. So they go down there. You got Payton,

875
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: you got Eli, you got Archie there. Arch Manning will

876
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: no doubt be there, I think, fresh off his official visits,

877
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: and so we'll see if he says anything. But also

878
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: that's always an event that's noteworthy and you get some

879
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: whispers and some intel out of that. Also the recruiting

880
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: dead period, as I said, starting June twenty seventh through

881
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: July twenty fourth translation, assistant coaches are headed out the

882
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: door to the nearest beach and turning their phone off

883
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: for a little while. That's about the window that you

884
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,240
Speaker 1: have for vacation in the sport right now. The Elite

885
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: eleven is in Los Angeles this year. We're gonna be there. Actually,

886
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: we are going to do a show from Los Angeles

887
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. So we're headed out there,

888
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: what Jesse, I think Monday the twenty seventh, so we'll

889
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 1: be out there for several days. But the Elite eleven

890
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: finals are in LA and that's the twenty eighth through

891
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: the thirtieth. We'll have walla wall coverage on the network itself.

892
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, our Thursday show Late Kick will be

893
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: out there, and I think we're doing it a little

894
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: bit earlier in the day. And I'll tell you why

895
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it earlier in the day because I

896
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: don't feel like staying in la in extra day, so

897
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: I want to fly home that night. So we're gonna

898
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: hop that last Southwest flight out of Lax back to Nashville.

899
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 1: But Elite eleven is the last portion of June. Media

900
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: days start in July, and it's an interesting note that

901
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: Marcella put in his article, there's not a lot of overlap.

902
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you look at the media day schedule, you

903
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: got one going on when the other one is, and

904
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: then the other one starts about the time the other

905
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: one's ending. The only overlap, I think the last day

906
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: of SEC media Days, which is a Thursday, overlaps with

907
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: the first day of ACC media Days. Other than that,

908
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: you can see it if you're watching on YouTube right now.

909
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: You've got the Big ten standalone. You've got the PAC

910
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: twelve just one day July twenty ninth, but it's standalone.

911
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: The SEC is the big four day block the eighteenth

912
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: through the twenty first, but there's not a lot of overlap.

913
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: We will be at least live from the SEC Media days,

914
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: and we'll do probably a live show from down there too.

915
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: Speaking of the show, you know, there's a lot going

916
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,160
