1
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna wear off. There's a lot of

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: rage in the college football space right now. I think

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: it'll wear off. I think is the Christmas season approaches

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: and you get towards your vacation and your holidays, I

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: think it'll fade. But it is fresh right now. The

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: bandaid just got ripped off. And the other night we

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: did a show where I really wanted to talk about

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: the games, and we did talk about the college football

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: playoff selection process, but I just kind of broached the

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: FSU outraged. I just kind of touched on it for

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: a little while. And tonight I just want to ouzor

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: go right back around, and I want to address some

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: things that are being said. Jam packed are we here

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: on Lake cack Is Lila? Lake caik Is Live would

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: be probably a name that's not taken yet. We're high

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: at top a sleepless downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Too much going

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: on on this Tuesday, December fifth, the year of our

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: lower twenty twenty three. I will Florida State. I'm in

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: a very unique position. You know, some would call it

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: a waffling type position based on comments I made with

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: in the last month. Don't worry we'll address all that.

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, speaking of addressing, he's addressing the ineptitude defensively

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: of his program at usc Dabos Sweny's making some big hires.

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: We've got big moves happening. We've got some guys shaking

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: the old proverbial tree realizing, uh oh, we're off pace

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, and we're gonna discuss that. They've got

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: transfer portal just absolutely on fire. I've got a Heisman question,

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: I've got a Dion question, i got a college Football

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: Playoffs size question. So yeah, I know we don't have

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: football games this Saturday, but if you know this sport,

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: if you've been around for any length of time, you

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: know this is the time of year that's arguably the

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: most active, and things are happening right now, like even

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: this hour. Things are happening that will impact things on

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: the field this upcoming bowl season, but especially next season.

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Cocoa Beach, Florida, San Diego, California, Spartanburg,

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Today was a very big day,

38
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: not just because the transfer portals open, not just because

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: we are on the heels of the College Football Playoff

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: being announced, and a lot of us are arranging travel.

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: I'll probably tell you where we're headed within the next week.

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: By the way, it's not that big a mystery. But no, friends,

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: that's not why today was a big day. In fact,

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: I didn't Colin, do you see this? I did not

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: even drink my pre show mysterious liquid. So hold please,

46
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: very professional, and so without further ado, I want to

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: bring your attention to something as we start the show.

48
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: So today our buddy Big Game Boomer, as he does

49
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: towards the end of every year, he released his list

50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: of the top one hundred media personalities in college football,

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: and I am happy to report that we're smack dab

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: in the mix there. In the top five. We are

53
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: positioned just above Alyssa Lang, who is a living, breathing

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: age as far as I'm concerned, and Coole Kublick, who is,

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: as you know, a guy who has a podcast, also

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: most notably a coworker of Alyssa Lang. I think that's

57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: what it says in his work bio at ESPN. But

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: that's not probably where your attention goes. Your attention goes to, huh,

59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: who's number one? If not us, who's number one? And

60
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: number one on the top one hundred best media personalities

61
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: in college football according to Big Game Boomer, who as

62
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: we know, is the oracle on all things lists is

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Walker. Now, you may think to yourself, Brandon Walker,

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: isn't that like barstool farmer fran over there? Sloppy looking

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: guy gets upstaged on his own show a lot. Yes,

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: that's him, But that's not the attitude I have towards this.

67
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: In fact, it takes a big show. It takes a

68
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: big host on a big show to admit when he's

69
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: been defeated, and I am that big host. So Director

70
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Colin has gone to the door. He's opened it, and

71
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, I'm actually bringing Brandon Walker

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: on the show. He's here right now. If you're listening

73
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: on podcast, you're just gonna have to pretend. But I

74
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: want to welcome Brandon Walker for the first time ever

75
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: to Late Kick Live. Congratulations buddy, I'm not necessarily sure

76
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: that you deserve this. The criteria seemed flimsier than the

77
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: Playoff Committee themselves lately, but no one in the history

78
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: of humanity has ever given off participation trophy vibes more

79
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: than this guy, right here and so from me to you,

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: I know you needed this more than anyone else on

81
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: that list. Congratulations and Merry early Christmas. Brandon Walker, your

82
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: top twenty twenty three media personality in all of college football,

83
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: and no applause whatsoever was had trash can dropped, we

84
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: move on with the show. Thank you for that, Colin.

85
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some outrage in college football. It's everywhere.

86
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's got an opinion on Florida State, as do I.

87
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: So Colin, here's your endpoint if we're going to cut

88
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: this up later. I've been in a weird position with

89
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: this Florida State thing, as you know. Two weeks ago,

90
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: two or three weeks ago, I came on the air

91
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: when Jordan Travis got hurt and I said, there is

92
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: no way you keep Florida State out if they go undefeated.

93
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't care what else happens. I don't care what

94
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: the criteria is. You don't keep them out because I

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: am not a big fan of playoff committee people assigning

96
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: value to a football player. I don't care how much

97
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: you think he's worth. I don't care what you think

98
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: Florida State is without him. If they go undefeated, they

99
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: belong in. Well, then when the dust settled, I came

100
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: on the show and they put Alabama in over Florida State,

101
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: and I said, hmm, I actually think that they made

102
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: the right move. But I really don't think there was

103
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: a right move to be made. I just think they

104
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: made a move. So a lot of you said, well,

105
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: how is that not hypocrisy, Well, it kind of is.

106
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: It kind of is because I two weeks ago, I'll

107
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: just be honest with you, I thought other things were

108
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: going to sort themselves out. I believe in the principle

109
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: of what I said. Haven't changed on that a bit.

110
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: What I did was I thought more about it in

111
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: the week leading up, and I thought about it from

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: a different angle. Okay, So I think the playoff committee

113
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: left Florida State out because he's hurt. There's no doubt

114
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: in my mind about that. I thought about it from

115
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: a pure resume comparison standpoint. I thought Bama's resume after

116
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: the win against Georgia and seeing him in person and

117
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff, I thought Bama's resume was better than

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: Florida State. That's where I thought they should have been in,

119
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: over Florida State. So you guys either agree with me

120
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 1: or disagree with me. I know all Florida State folks

121
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: disagree with me on that. That's fine. I would ask

122
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: that you don't take the added step of thinking there's

123
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: some like corrupt subplot or there's some reason behind the

124
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: screen ulterior motive why I feel that way. I'll tell

125
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: you why I feel that way. I feel that way

126
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: because it's just the way I feel. There's nothing there's

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: no directive from CBS handed down for me or to

128
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: me to feel that way. But I'll address that in

129
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: a second. Anyway. I also agree with Florida State folks

130
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot, though, So that's where my unique position is

131
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: because I'm only like fifty one percent forty nine percent

132
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: on the Bama side to begin with. Because obviously there's

133
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: a valid argument to be made for Florida State, and

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: a lot of you have been making it. The Florida

135
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: State folks, a lot of them. A lot of the

136
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: Florida State folks are mad because they think the committee

137
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: changed the rules in the middle of the game, and

138
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: I cannot disagree with them. I think that's exactly what happened.

139
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, I had a theory on this whole thing

140
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: that I think the committee was baking expectations into their rankings.

141
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: They expected you to lose, They expected Bama probably to

142
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: lose to Georgia, they expected Oregon to beat Washington, and frankly,

143
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: I think it was reflected in their rankings because their

144
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: rankings really didn't align to begin with going into conference

145
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: championship weekend. If you just went off resume, so that

146
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: was in the cards, but that's not really I think

147
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: what bends you the most out of shape. What bends

148
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: you the most out of shape if you're a Florida

149
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: State fan or you think they belonged in is you

150
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: think that they looked at all the criteria and then

151
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: they just decided to override it anyway. And there's valid

152
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: reason to feel that way, and that's largely reflected in

153
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: your emotion. But then Uncle Dennis, Dennis Dodd goes and

154
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: puts a piece up on CBS Sports dot com you

155
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: think yesterday, and he quotes an anonymous source, I believe

156
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: Jesse it was on the playoff committee. And there's a

157
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: lot of words on your screen right now, but I'm

158
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: going to read you the most important part. So if

159
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: you're watching on YouTube, several excerpts from Uncle Dennis's piece

160
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: are here. If you're listening on podcasts, here's all you

161
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: need to hear. It was gut wrenching, a committee member

162
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: told CBS Sports under the condition of anonymity. For me, individually,

163
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: I evaluated whether FSU make it, whether they could make

164
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: it through and win a national championship with the team

165
00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: they had. Now, I'm telling you, as a per person

166
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: who thought Bama should have been in over Florida State,

167
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: it is complete garbage. If that was the methodology that anyone,

168
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: much less an entire committee used to keep Florida State out,

169
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: it's garbage. I'm just sitting here telling you I thought

170
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: the resume was better, and I'm acknowledging even Florida State

171
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: being undefeated in a Power five league with a conference

172
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: championship under their belt. I thought this was the one

173
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: unique circumstance where there were one lost conference champs in

174
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: front of them that I just flat out thought had

175
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: better resumes. But what I never told you was I

176
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: think they should be out because Travis is hurt, And

177
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm certainly never going to tell you I think they

178
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: should be out because well, I think I know they

179
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: would or wouldn't be successful in the postseason. It's such

180
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: a garbage take. And even if I had tried to

181
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: defend that committee beforehand, when you got that being said,

182
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: like they didn't have to say that. They could have

183
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: lied to Dennis and just said, oh no, we followed

184
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: the same protocols we always have. It it was anonymous,

185
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: but it was still trash. So any Florida State fan

186
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: who wants to take issue with that, I'm going to

187
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: line up next to you, even though we don't even

188
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: agree on what the outcome of the force should have been.

189
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: But if that's the methodology that was used, it's garbage.

190
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: Here's my question. So to move past that, I'm not

191
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: even defending the committee anymore. That's indefensible. I can't defend that.

192
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: I can think they put the right four in, but

193
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: think they did it for the wrong reasons, if that

194
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: makes any sense. I know that sounds very discombobulated, but

195
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: that's where my heart's at on this. Now there's a

196
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: follow up. I want to ask Colin. I believe Jesse.

197
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: I think I sent you this a screenshot of a

198
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: tweet I put out earlier today because I'm still not

199
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: calling it X Yeah. Here it is so little backstory here,

200
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: and I think some of you may have participated in this.

201
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: If you haven't, just follow along as you could imagine,

202
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: there has been robust conversation and some fairly toxic discourse

203
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: between the people who maybe thought the committee went the

204
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: right way and Florida's or anyone who thought Florida State

205
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: should have been in. Now some people have just agreed

206
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: to disagree. That has taken a back burner to the

207
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: more popular sentiment. And that sounds a little something like this.

208
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: If you think that Alabama should have been in over

209
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: Florida State, you are a corporate shill. You are a

210
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: shill for the SEC. You are a sellout, You're bought

211
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: and paid for, You're part of some ulterior motive. You

212
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: are corrupted. You don't have the best interest of the

213
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: game at heart. Blah blah blah. I don't doubt some

214
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: of you feel that way. And hey, I can't even

215
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: prove that there may not be some bad actors out there.

216
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I am qualified to judge my heart

217
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: on this. I'm qualified to be brutally honest with you

218
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: on this, and so none of those descriptions fit me.

219
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: And I do think Alabama should have been in so

220
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: we disagree on the outcome. But I put this out

221
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter earlier today. I said, is it possible for

222
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: good intentioned, logical people to simply disagree on college football?

223
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: And I got largely the kind of responses you would expect.

224
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to make there is the insinuation

225
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: amongst some I think, albeit a radical minority, but some

226
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 1: is if you think anything other than FSU should have

227
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: been number four, you are one of those descriptors I

228
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: just listed. In other words, there's no way that someone

229
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: could just think Alabama belonged them period. There's got to

230
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: be something after before the period. There's got to be

231
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: they work for ESPN, or the fix was in, or

232
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: it's all politicized, and I can't speak for anyone else.

233
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you I hold the opinion Bama should

234
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: have been in, and I don't work for ESPN. I

235
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: hold the opinion Bama should have been in. And hey,

236
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: here's a little secret. You want me to fill you

237
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: in on some financial details of our show. Our internals

238
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: actually show Florida State would have been more profitable for

239
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: US than Alabama making the playoff. Now, I think that

240
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: blows your mind a little bit because you think, well,

241
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: Obama's got the bigger fan base. That's true, but Bama's

242
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: been to the playoff a million times, so their fans

243
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: are already baked into our audience. Regardless, our research has

244
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: shown if a new team makes it, you get a

245
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: massive three hundred maybe four hundred percent influx of new viewership. So,

246
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: full disclosure, it would have been better for us if

247
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: Florida State made it. I don't really care about any

248
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: of it, believe it or not. We got a philosophy

249
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: around here that we're just going to say what we think,

250
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's going to be popular, sometimes it's not.

251
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: But I would just I would caution you because I

252
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: used to do this in baseball a lot, and it

253
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: just applies to college football as seamlessly as it does

254
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: baseball or NFL or anything else. I used to sit

255
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: at home in forts and Georgia. I was a Braves

256
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: fan Falcons fan like I was. I was a big

257
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: pro sports fan, and so I would watch the coverage

258
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: of my teams and I would pick up with those

259
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: antenna ears of mine anytime someone spoke less than glowingly

260
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: about my team. It was anti Brave's hatred it was

261
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: anti Falcons, they hated Atlanta, etc. Et cetera. And I

262
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: would have sworn to you I would have bet every dollar.

263
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: And there weren't many of them in my pocket, but

264
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: I would have bet every dollar. There was just something

265
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: bigger in play. And so then I got on the

266
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: other side of the curtain in college football, and I've

267
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: watched the sausage get made. Most of the people you're

268
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: accusing of this sort of thing, I know personally. I

269
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: talked to them off the record. I know when they

270
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: do have a vested interest in an outcome. Sometimes we

271
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: joke about it. I will say this generically because I'm

272
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: not mentioning any names in particular. You're throwing some people

273
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: under the bus, and you don't really know what you're

274
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm not speaking holistically. I'm speaking very generically.

275
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: There are some people whose names are being thrown under

276
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: the bus, and if you really knew, you'd come to

277
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: understand they couldn't care less who's in or who's out there,

278
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: genuinely speaking what they feel to be the best course

279
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: of action. When it comes to the final four teams.

280
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: It should have been m I know that doesn't sound good.

281
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't traffic well on message boards. And

282
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you that there are no bad actors

283
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: in the mix. I'm not telling you networks don't get

284
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: involved sometimes. I'm not telling you this is not political.

285
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: There are a lot of double negatives there. I'm not totally

286
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: downplaying a lot of your accusations. I am saying there's

287
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: some individuals whose names I've seen drug through the mud,

288
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: not the least of which is mine. I'm okay with

289
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: what you say about me, but there are some other

290
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: people who I know for a fact are sort of

291
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: on the same side of this as me and just thinking, Hey,

292
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: we just think the best four got put in, or

293
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: the most deserving or whatever we want to phrase that

294
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: as now, and that's not the popular public sentiment at

295
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: the moment. The other thing, as we move on here,

296
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: the other thing that I just want to reiterate yet again,

297
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: if you're a Florida State fan or you think they

298
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: should have been put in, another totally valid criticism that

299
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: you guys are talking about is there was a shift

300
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: in the committee's protocol, which there was, and it was

301
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: spoken again, voluntarily spoken on the record by Bill Hancock.

302
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: I raised the alarms two weeks ago when the dude

303
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: said to Heather Dennitch say, we don't even know what

304
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: most deserving means. It's not in our lexicon. It's about

305
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: the best. When that happened, and when it happened, I said,

306
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: if they stick to this, then it will deviate from

307
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: their past protocols. Okay, that was a red herring. That

308
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: was sort of the old Canarian the coal mine. That

309
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: lets you know some of the conspiracy theories out there

310
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: may be accurate. There is a conspiracy, for example, that

311
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: just maybe fact that they watched that Georgia TCU game

312
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: and somewhere in a dark, dark corner of a room,

313
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: they met and said, never again, we are not putting

314
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: a team in just because we solely think they deserve it.

315
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: If this is the grand result, if we have sold

316
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: major nine figure advertising against this game, and we have

317
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: to look our advertising partners in the eye and say

318
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: sorry about sixty five to seven. If we ever have

319
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: to do that again, every one of you's fired. Get

320
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 1: us four legitimate brands, get us four legitimate teams. Some

321
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: of you think that happened. And when I see the

322
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: course correction in the methodology, I cannot completely disagree with you.

323
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: I think there may be some validity to that. Now again,

324
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I think the proper four got put in.

325
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: But if they got put in because of that, if

326
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: they got put in because of what TCU did last year,

327
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: if they got put in because of television ratings pulled,

328
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: if they got put in because of anything other than

329
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: they had the fifth best resume or the fourth best resume,

330
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: I don't agree with the methodology. Don't agree with it

331
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: at all. And I would have sat here at FS

332
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: you got put in and said I would have put

333
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: Bama in. I'm okay with it. I would have put

334
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: Bama in because that's kind of how on the fence

335
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: I was about it to begin with. But yeah, you

336
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: guys have a reason to be outraged over this. If

337
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: what Dennis put in that article is true, and I

338
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: have every reason to believe it is, and if what

339
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: we saw in course correction from last year to this

340
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: year is as it appears, you got every reason to

341
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: be outraged because if that's what happened, you got screwed,

342
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: plain and simple. Moving forward, literally forward, because this stuff

343
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: is happening as we speak. The transfer portal is just

344
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: a blaze transfer portal's on fire. We got new names

345
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: going in by the hour, and so I'm doing my

346
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: best to keep up to speed here. I got Matt

347
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: Zenence over here, and I've just kind of got an

348
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: open line of communication that I hope stays open. And

349
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: it's a blessing to be able to just say, Hey,

350
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: what's this kid gonna do? What's that kid gonna do?

351
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: Because Zenace doesn't have to sleep, he's more robotic than human.

352
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: I like to get a few hours every night, and

353
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: when I wake up, I need to know what happened.

354
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: So twenty four seven sports dot com, there's just like

355
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: a rolling update right now of guys who are in.

356
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Texas A and M. That's a spotlight

357
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: team right now. And we talk about spotlight teams every

358
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: year in the portal season and in early signing day,

359
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: and A and M with Mike Elko coming in is

360
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: obviously that. Here's what I'm careful to do. Okay. I

361
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: met with Jesse a little while ago, and I ran

362
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: down the list of names I wanted to talk about,

363
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: and every one of them, I'm always asking are they

364
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: in the portal or do we think they're expected to

365
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: go in? The portal, and I know that changes by

366
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: the hour. So we got Walter Nolan best we can tell.

367
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: We think he's expected to go in the portal. Lt

368
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: Overton planning to enter the portal. A lot of times

369
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: that's semantical, but people get really been out of shape

370
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: about it. So I want to be accurate on that.

371
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: They're both five star defensive linemen. At A and M.

372
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: They were both in that very very highly touted top

373
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: rated recruiting class of all time a couple of cycles

374
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: A goo. Walter Nolan, if he's in the portal, he's

375
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: the top rated kid in the portal. He is an

376
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: immediate plug and play. There is not another Walter Nolan

377
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: out there, but lt Overton not far behind him. And

378
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: so either one of those guys kind of like Bear

379
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Alexander last year, just immediate, high level five star plug

380
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: and play six four, three, ten, three fifteen defensive lineman bodies.

381
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: And obviously you know you got even Evan Stewart out

382
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: there at A and M two. A lot of speculation

383
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: about whether he'll go in or whether he won't. Also,

384
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: if you're a guy like Evan Stewart, there is no

385
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: need to rush that a new coaching staff just came in. Okay,

386
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: you don't lose anything by waiting it out, feeling that

387
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: coaching staff out. Let's see how things go. Because if

388
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: you're an Evan Stewart, or for that matter, if you're

389
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: a Walter Nolan, if you're lt Overton, it doesn't matter

390
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: when you go in, you're gonna have landing spots all

391
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: over the place. You are not one of the potential

392
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: casualties that just get lost forever in the portal. You

393
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: are a priority no matter when you go in. So

394
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't I don't sit here shocked just because some

395
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: of these high level guys don't immediately jump in the

396
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: portal as soon as it's open, they get to operate

397
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: a little bit differently than the ninety nine percent do.

398
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: What about Kyle McCord. A lot of you were surprised

399
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: yesterday the starting quarterback at Ohio State went in the

400
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: transfer portal number twenty pls overall. Now that updates continuously

401
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: as new kids go in. Sounds like there's some smoke

402
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: with Nebraska right now. And I am not surprised necessarily

403
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: because Nebraska's got to make a quarterback move regardless. Listen

404
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: to this, These are paper popper stats for all the

405
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: wrong reasons. Nebraska was one twenty ninth in pass yards

406
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: per game this year. Here's a little Jeopardy music trivia

407
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: question for you. I've got one, two, three. I got

408
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: four teams and only four teams that were worse than

409
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: Nebraska in pass yards per game this year. One of

410
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: them is Air Force, nuff said, One of them is Navy,

411
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: one of them is Army. Okay, enough said, enough said,

412
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: And the other one is Iowa, which, for all intents

413
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: and purposes, was a Service Academy offense in their own

414
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: right this year. They didn't serve Iowa fans, mind you,

415
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: but they were a Service Academy offense in terms of numbers.

416
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: Other than the three Service Academies and Iowa, there were

417
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: no teams worse in pass yards per game this year Nebraska.

418
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, Kyle McCord, if he were to land at

419
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: Nebraska would be a massive upgrade, as would several of

420
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: these kids over what they have now. Speaking of a

421
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: kid who would be an upgrade in many offenses, Aiden

422
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: Chiles is in the portal. He was a four star quarterback,

423
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: number fifty eight overall. Actually, just in this last recruiting cycle,

424
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: so he was a true freshman at Oregon State. Remember,

425
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: if your head coach leaves, you get to transfer a

426
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: penalty free, so this doesn't even count. He could transfer

427
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: again after this year and then transfer again as a

428
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: grad transfer down the road if you wanted to. That's

429
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: getting way ahead of ourselves. Jonathan Smith was his head

430
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: coach at Oregon State. Jonathan Smith goes to Michigan State.

431
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: There is a crystal ball that has been put in

432
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: by our own Brandon Huffman, for Aiden Chiles to go

433
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: to Michigan State, and they gotta have one. They've had

434
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks at Michigan State transfer out, so the cupboard

435
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: is virtually bear there. They're gonna make a move for

436
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I am. I'm hearing some interesting things just

437
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: about Johnathan Smith, and it's to be expected settling into

438
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: that job, because when you settle into a job, you've

439
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: got to figure out the geography, both in terms of recruiting,

440
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: but you've also got to figure out the landscape figuratively

441
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: in terms of who your nil power players are, what's

442
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: the current structure, what is my ideal structure? How quickly

443
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 1: can we get that off the ground, And then all

444
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: the while you're trying to hire a staff, you're trying

445
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: to recruit your current class, you're trying to keep your

446
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: kids on campus and not going into the portal, and

447
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: you're trying to add kids from the portal. Can you

448
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: imagine doing all that in the same twenty four hour

449
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: days that just normal people work normal jobs. But hey,

450
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: it's okay because they get paid a lot of money,

451
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: so all as well. Dylan Gabriel in the portal. This

452
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: was not a surprise, I think publicly, maybe it was.

453
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma fans weren't shocked by this. There have been rumblings.

454
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: Maybe if you're just like a random Maryland fan and

455
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: you don't pay attention to the Big twelve or now

456
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: the SEC, maybe you didn't see this coming. Dylan Gabriel

457
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: was the starting quarterback for Oklahoma this past year, put

458
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: up good numbers nearly a seventy percent completion percentage, guy

459
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns, six picks, and I had a big game

460
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: against Texas. And so he's in the portal now, which

461
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: means two things. Number one, it's Jackson Arnold season in Norman, Oklahoma.

462
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: Nothing more need be said there. And number two, it

463
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna go to Oregon. I think there's

464
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: a visit set up this weekend. Bo Nicks is out

465
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: right after he goes and fulfills his obligations as a

466
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy finalist. He's out and strong betting favorite that

467
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel ends up in Eugene, Oregon. Now where I

468
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: don't know this kid's gonna end up. This next kid

469
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: is Brock Vandergriff. I don't know where Brock vandergf' is

470
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna end up. I've got some guesses. Early early crystal

471
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: Ball prediction momentum is brought Vandergriff to can But you know,

472
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube, you can see the b

473
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: roll and you can pretty well guess, oh, that's a

474
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: Georgia quarterback. If you're listening on podcasts, I just told

475
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: you that's a Georgia quarterback. This is a good problem

476
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: to have if you're Georgia Carson Beck. At least as

477
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: of this evening, the thinking around here is it's more

478
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: likely than not he returns for another year in Athens.

479
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: So if he does, that's great for Georgia. But even

480
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, you got Dylan Ryola coming in. You

481
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: got Puglisi in the next class. Now, that wouldn't necessarily

482
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: impact Vandergriff a whole lot, but they just got too

483
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: many good players up there, so this is a good

484
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: problem to have. He's gonna move on, Brock. Vandergriff he's

485
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: a retrot sophomore right now, six three two ten. He

486
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: was a number five quarterback a couple of cycles ago.

487
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: Kentucky has a crystal ball in there for him. So

488
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: let's just see, now, don't I don't necessarily view myself

489
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: as being fully up to speed on his process, but Kentucky,

490
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: I know, had an early crystal ball. Vandergrif could be

491
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: a really good play. Carson Beck beat him out, but

492
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: he could be a really good player. And as is

493
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: usually the case in transfer portal season, it's like one

494
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: of the only times we use the teleprompter because Jesse

495
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: just typed in the teleprompter. Arkansas running back Rocket Sanders

496
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: has entered the transfer portal. Jesse, he is in right, Okay,

497
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: So he is in the transfer portal. If you open

498
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: the door, you will see Rocket Sanders in there right now.

499
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: Remember Bobby Petrino, new offensive coordinator there. We're still waiting

500
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: to hear about a lot of those guys up there,

501
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: Rocket Sanders, that's going to be that. There are a

502
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: lot of names, Rocket Sanders being one of them who's

503
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: in the portal now. And there are some more names

504
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: of running backs out there, pretty high profile that could

505
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: go in the portal. And there are some high profile

506
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: teams Georgia. Since we just talked about him, is it

507
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: is mandatory that they go at a difference maker at

508
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: running back and I think they will. And the guy

509
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: they eventually add may or may not already be in

510
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: the portal because it's just now open. So you got

511
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: to you gotta head on a swivel. You gotta have

512
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: that head on a swivel this time of year. Okay,

513
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: I guess I should. Yeah, yeah, I had my papers

514
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: mixed up. You know what I almost did, almost forsook Academy,

515
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: and they would never do that to us. Academy Sports

516
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: and Outdoors I've got I've got an update for you,

517
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 1: by the way, So Academy Sports and Outdoors here's what

518
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: they do. They offer great products at phenomenal prices. They've

519
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: got Academy dot Com if you can't get their in person.

520
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: But they also decided last week when Spotify Wrapped started

521
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: doing their end of the season. You know, here's your

522
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: number one podcast thing that they do for you, and

523
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: they hit me up and said, we want to give

524
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: away one hundred and fifty dollars gift cards to anyone

525
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: who proves that Late Kick was their number one most

526
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: listened to podcast of the year. So I told you

527
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: screenshot it, hashtag it with what did we do Jesse

528
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: Peyate State Academy, and just put it out there. Send

529
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: it to me on instance, send it to me on

530
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: Twitter or x and we will enter you. We have

531
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: not selected yet. I want to let you know that

532
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: we have not made the selections yet, so you still

533
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: got time to screenshot that Spotify wrapped and send it

534
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: to me preferably not email, preferably Twitter or Instagram. Hashtag

535
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: that thing Peate State Academy, and one hundred of you

536
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: are grabbing a fifty dollars gift card from Academy. I

537
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: don't know what better way they can say Mary Christmas

538
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: than actually put money in your pocket, because that's how

539
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: we roll around here. Let's move on, and I got

540
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: so much to get to here. I had one of

541
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: my sweet sweet viewers at the gym earlier today who said, well,

542
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: now that the games are over, I guess you don't

543
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: have a lot to talk about. Huh. And if it

544
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been so insulting, I would have just patted

545
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: her on the head, you poor thing. Have you not

546
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: heard about what dabos Swiney is doing it Clemson. I

547
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: got a stance on data. I shared it many times

548
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: during the season. I said, Dabo's going to have to

549
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: evolve some. I think he's prideful. I think there's some

550
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: stubbornness that comes along with that pride. But he's got

551
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: reason to be prideful because he's had a ton of

552
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: success up there, and he has built a rock solid

553
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: culture at Clemson. There are so many positive things to

554
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: say about Dabo. That doesn't mean you're void of mild criticism.

555
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: That is the extent of the criticism I've had for

556
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: Dabbo mild. The reason I sound a little defensive is

557
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: because Dabo has made some coaching moves. Dabo actually offered

558
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: a kid in the portal, and I had some people

559
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: come back at me, like over the past forty eight

560
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: hours and say, boy, I bet you, I bet you

561
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: want to backtrack on that Dabo take. I don't want

562
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: to backtrack on it at all. I want to say

563
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: maybe I'm getting an answer to my question. That's how

564
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: I always left it. Me and Jesse went and looked

565
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: at the Dabo segments we've done. I'm very intentional in

566
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: the very last quadrant of the little mind map I

567
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: do for our segments, I always leave a question for

568
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: Clemson and Dabo because I have no clue what he's

569
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: going to do. I think changes have to be made,

570
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: not fundamental, big ones, but I think some of the

571
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: ornaments on the tree need to be rearranged a little bit.

572
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: And that has to do with staff and it has

573
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: to do with portal philosophy. To be clear, those are

574
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: the two things I'm talking about. Well, the reason I

575
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: feel that is because I felt like their staff had

576
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: gotten stale. I didn't think their staff was elite. And

577
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: their last three recruiting classes were tenth, twelfth, and fifteenth nationally,

578
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: which is good, not great, because the two before that

579
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: had been third and fifth. So on one hand, you

580
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: had big time coaches headed out the door, you had

581
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: recruiting slightly dipping slightly dipping, and you had a total

582
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: aversion to the transfer portal. Well, what that equaled was

583
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: an eight and four season this year. That's not hard

584
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: to figure out. To me, it's not hard at all

585
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: to figure out. He's shaking the tree. Dabo Swiney is

586
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: shaking the tree. So he just made two big time hires.

587
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: He hired Matt Luke as his offensive line coach. He

588
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: went and got Chris Rump as a defensive line coach,

589
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: a defensive end coach. To put it specifically, those guys

590
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: are like puzzle pieces at Clemson. Matt Luke and Chris

591
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: Rump fit at Clemson about as well as any assistance

592
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: you could find out there. They're high level guys they have.

593
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Luke's been ahead coach and then worked for

594
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: Kirby at Georgia and just took some time away from

595
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: football for Dabo to pull him back into it and

596
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: get Chris trump Man big time, big time hires. And

597
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't think those are in isolation. What I think

598
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 1: happened is Debo got to the end of the season

599
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: and did exactly what he should have done, probably does

600
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: it every year. He did a full top to bottom

601
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: self scout, and he did an inventory of his program.

602
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: But because he's coming off an eight and four season,

603
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: and because there's noise being made elsewhere in that conference

604
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time, and because

605
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: the level of the program isn't quite what it had

606
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: been in years past. I think he's shaking the tree

607
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: pretty hard, and I think you're going to see some

608
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: changes there. You know what, if I ever doubted him,

609
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: what I doubt it is, I doubt it hitd ever

610
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: lean into the transfer portal. Now. I cannot prove that

611
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: he's going to, but it doesn't feel to me like

612
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: the aggression that he's had in making some of these

613
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: changes is going to be in a vacuum. I think

614
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be top down aggression. And that doesn't

615
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: mean he's going to take fifteen kids in the portal.

616
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: But I don't think they're done being active in the portal.

617
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: Oh those a big hiccup. I don't think they're done

618
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: to being active in the portal this cycle. How active

619
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: will they be is The question doesn't need to happen overnight.

620
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't need to go from we don't do anything

621
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: in the portal to we're Colorado, Nor does it ever

622
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: need to be that. At Clemson, they have taken two

623
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: kids out of the portal in the past four years combined. Now,

624
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 1: before you go in the comments section, Clemson fans and

625
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: remind me of your scholarship situation. I know what the

626
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: scholarship situation has been. They don't run kids off over there.

627
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: Some places they do, putting it to you like it is.

628
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 1: Some places they run kids off and they free up

629
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: scholarship space, and Dabbo does not really believe in doing that,

630
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: and so as a result, they have fewer scholarship spots

631
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: open to begin with. I understand that I'm taking that

632
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: into account. That doesn't mean he couldn't have made any

633
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: moves recently. It means that they haven't, and so I

634
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: don't know how focused he is on the externals, in

635
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: other words, what's going on around him. But the harbor

636
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: used to be empty for a little while. Clemson was

637
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: this big ship in the harbor and there was nothing

638
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: else in the ACC. And now Florida State's come in

639
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: there doing it totally different. They have heavily leaned on

640
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: the portal and it's paid off. I mean, they were

641
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: a playoff caliber team this year. They went undefeated wire

642
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: to wire, they won the ACC. Miami's not gonna stop. Okay,

643
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: Miami beat you this year, and their talent roster is

644
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: only gonna get better. What they do with it is

645
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: another conversation. But all of a sudden, you don't have

646
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: top to bottom the best personnel, you don't have to

647
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: bottom the best coaching staff anymore. You're competitive. But that

648
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: wasn't always the case, and so maybe that's a little

649
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: bit of heat that's needed to be felt around there.

650
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: They finished under ten wins for the first time in

651
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: over a decade. This year, they were outside the playoff

652
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: ranking top twenty for the first time ever. So it's

653
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: not hard to imagine how Dabo would arrive at the

654
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: conclusion that, yeah, I need to shake it up a bit.

655
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: I just hope he is. He doesn't need to, He

656
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: doesn't need to rewrite the Tiger Paul logo, he doesn't

657
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: need to reinvent how to spell clums And it's not

658
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: a top to bottom overhaul that's needed. It's just tweaks

659
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: here and there, and philosophically, it's just I used to

660
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: love seafood but not eat sushi. Then I tried sushi

661
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: and realized, oh, it's been great this whole time. I

662
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: just didn't try it now. I don't eat it every night.

663
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: Could but I don't eat it every night. But man,

664
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: I love sushi about two or three times a month.

665
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to live in the portal, but man,

666
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: grabbing a key on Coleman every now and then. It

667
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: does not hurt friends, It does not hurt it. All

668
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: more changes being made, not just that Clemson. Hey, Jesse,

669
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: give me a quick yes or no? In my ear?

670
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: Did you ever print the quote off for Lincoln Riley? Okay,

671
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: I am going to proceed to stall for a second.

672
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: Can you make Bradley running get it for me? Yes

673
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: or no? Okay, Bradley can run and get it for me.

674
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: What should we talk about? Though? What should we talk about? Huh? Well,

675
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: I will tell you later on. Someone asked me a

676
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: question about something that we haven't spoken about on the

677
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: show since Oh, I don't know, Colins maybe September, maybe

678
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: early October. And it's mocking me full disclosure, a little

679
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: tease ahead in the show. That's mocking me. It's about

680
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: a certain coach in Boulder, Colorado that has his own

681
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: sunglass line. And I think you know who I'm talking about.

682
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,479
Speaker 1: And do you notice that not many people have talked

683
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: about Dion lately. We haven't talked about him on the

684
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: show lately, And because there's been some silent on that front,

685
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: it's been taken to mean that some people have punted

686
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: on him, or they don't care about him, or it

687
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: was all clickbait and engagement in farming. And I say

688
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: all that to say, I've just been informed. We don't

689
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: have the paper. Bradley has failed miserably today, and he's

690
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: also wearing a pink T shirt with Japanese lettering on it,

691
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: So no one knows what's going on around the office anyway,

692
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: save the quote board. I'll call for it in a second.

693
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully the words of Lincoln Riley will appear momentarily. So

694
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley is in a must change situation at USC.

695
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt about that. I mean

696
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: these numbers, opponent, these are all defensive opponent points per game,

697
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and twentieth in the country, yards, one hundred

698
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: and nineteenth in the country, passing one hundred and fifteenth,

699
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: rushing one hundred and fourteenth. Explosive plays given up one

700
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: hundred and twentieth. They were just terrible again defensively, this year,

701
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: they tried to do some stuff in the portal. They

702
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: still had Alex s. Grinch out there as the defensive coordinator.

703
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: They were bad. It doesn't really do many It doesn't

704
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: really do much good. To continue to on the numbers.

705
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: I just want to use that as a backdrop, and

706
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to get carried away here. It's very

707
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: easy in media days season, It's easy to get excited.

708
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: But it did not take to big ten media days

709
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: next year for Lincoln Riley to go off. So I

710
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 1: got to tell you yesterday. I know Lincoln Riley spoke

711
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: with the media in Los Angeles. Words don't win football games.

712
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: Press conferences don't win football games. I am acknowledging that,

713
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: but even acknowledging that, when I listen to what came

714
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: out of his mouth yesterday, I could not help but

715
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: just say, WHOA. So listen to this, and if you're

716
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, you can read along with me. These

717
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 1: are the words of the head coach at the University

718
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: of Southern California, Lincoln Riley quote my mentality going into it.

719
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: They just hired the defensive coordinator from UCLA, by the way,

720
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: So he says, my mentality going into it is we're

721
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: going to do everything that we can in this program

722
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: to accelerate the process of us playing great defense. That

723
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: youc whatever it takes to get that done. From a

724
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: development standpoint, from a staffing standpoint, from the way we practice.

725
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Everything here is going to be done with a defensive

726
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: mind first. The edge here is always going to go

727
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: to what's best for our defense. That was not a

728
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart press conference. That was not a Nick Saban

729
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: press conference. Those words came out of the mouth of

730
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley. Half of you were not sure he knew

731
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: how to spell defense. That's how little he seemed interested

732
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: in it. And even if he was interested in it,

733
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 1: it's how little it seemed like they prioritized it. Good

734
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: for him. First off, I hope he means every word

735
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: of it. I didn't even expect him to go that

736
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: far defense first mentality. I didn't even expect those words

737
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: to come out of Lincoln Riley's mouth. So I'm going

738
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: to remind you my thoughts on Lincoln Riley. The book

739
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: is not written on Lincoln Riley. The book is in

740
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: the process of being written. So the first few chapters

741
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: there have been a ton of points. There have been

742
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: some Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks. He's rewritten the offensive record

743
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: books at times, and they haven't won the top prize

744
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: in the game because they can't stop anyone. Fundamentally, they're

745
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: an unsound team on that side of the football. That

746
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it always has to be that way. But

747
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: I will also remind you of another feeling that I've

748
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: had there. I have doubted that the soil out there

749
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: was conducive to any kind of defensive coordinator having success.

750
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: And to his credit, it sounds like he gets that. Finally.

751
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it sounds like Lincoln Riley understands that it is

752
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: not simply going and hiring a big defensive coordinator name

753
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: and then saying, all right, well, I'm not really going

754
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: to change my program. You're the change I'm bringing you in.

755
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: You make us good on defense. That's not how it works.

756
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: And it's really important for you to pay attention to

757
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: what he said. He didn't just say we're going to

758
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: prioritize defense by hiring the right guy. He said, we're

759
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: going to evaluate top down everything about the program. Did

760
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: you notice how he mentioned the way we practice. There

761
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: have long been little rumblings and murmurs behind the scenes

762
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: that us. He doesn't handle a football practice in a

763
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: manner that puts them in the best position to do

764
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: things like tackle on Saturdays, be in proper position, fit gaps,

765
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: be physical enough. And so I'm not there at practice.

766
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: I've never been invited to UC practice. But I see

767
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: the results on Saturday, and if that's not true, it's

768
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: not too far from being true as far as my

769
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: eye can see. So if he's serious about that, it

770
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: means he's done the same thing Dabo's done. He's looked

771
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: at his results. He said they're not good enough. He

772
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: knows results are a perfect product of what you have

773
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: been from a procedure standpoint, and if you want to

774
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: change the results, you have to change the procedure. Part

775
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: of that's hiring a defensive coordinator, but that's just going

776
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: and buying the seed. You've got to make sure the

777
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: soil is fertile enough where if I plan him, he

778
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: grows what I want. That's a top ten, top fifteen defense.

779
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: They don't have to be the best in the country.

780
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: I know that's what he said. You give me a

781
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: top twenty five defense at USC they're winning a national

782
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: championship or they're gonna compete for him at the very least.

783
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 1: The other thing they have to do this is easier

784
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: said than done, too, is they got to go get

785
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: better players. You can't portal in an elite defensive lineman.

786
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: You can portal in excuse me, you can't portal in

787
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: elite defensive lines. You can portal in an elite defensive

788
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: line Mone, but you're not You're not building either line

789
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage through the portal. You're not gonna You're not

790
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna do it in the MAC. I don't care. You're

791
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: You're especially not gonna do it in the Big ten,

792
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: which I'm just in the process of getting used to

793
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: saying about USC, You're not gonna do that. Having said that,

794
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to try, because I'm looking at their

795
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: recruiting ranking right now, they're in the teams, aren't they, Jesse,

796
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: And even having said that, it's not a class that's

797
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: loaded up with premier defensive lineman right now. And I

798
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: know that he he took some heat, mild heat, but

799
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: he took some heat recently when he was talking about

800
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: recruiting and he said, yeah, we want to recruit LA,

801
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: but we got to go all over the place and

802
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: some people took that to mean he wasn't prioritizing Los

803
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 1: Angeles recruiting in southern California recruiting enough. You can't live

804
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: in California recruiting and be good on the lines of scrimmage.

805
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: They don't grow them out there. That's not where you go.

806
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: You know where you go. You go to LA to

807
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: find offensive linemen. But it's the one that stands for Louisiana.

808
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 1: You got to go into Florid. You gotta go to IMG,

809
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: you gotta go to Texas, you gotta go to Georgia.

810
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: You gotta win cross country recruiting battles. And if that

811
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: sounds impossible, where do you think these southern schools are

812
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: getting half their quarterbacks from. They got no problem coming

813
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: out there and taking yours. So you need to go

814
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: take theirs. You're in Los Angeles. It's the nil era.

815
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: You do it by any means necessary. They can be

816
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 1: good defensively. Like I said, the book on Lincoln Riley

817
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: at US, he hasn't been written, were a few chapters in,

818
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: and they've been void of solid defensive football. But kind

819
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: of like I was talking about Ryan Day the other day.

820
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: A Ryan Day team quote unquote a Ryan Day team

821
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: once upon a time that meant just try and out

822
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: score everyone, hang forty five and hope they don't score

823
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: more than forty and will be good and we'll have

824
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: a high level quarterback. Well, this year they had Kyle McCord,

825
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: who was a good, solid quarterback, but they had a

826
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: really good defense. Okay, so that doesn't match up what

827
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: people told me a Ryan Day team always would be

828
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: what happened. Well, he's young enough, and he's early enough

829
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: in his career where he's still evolving. Lincoln Riley is

830
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: plenty young enough, plenty early enough in his career where

831
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: he's still evolving. There's no guarantee either way. I just

832
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: don't I don't speak in definitive terms. I'm holding a

833
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: pen in my hand mainly to subdue nervous energy. But

834
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't use this when I write a definitive take

835
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: on some of these guys. I mean, you know Nick Saban,

836
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 1: even in his sixties, Go look in the mid twenty teens,

837
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: that dude redefined how he philosophically approached coaching the game.

838
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: You don't think Lincoln Riley could do that, or Ryan

839
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: Day or any of these guys everybody can do it,

840
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: it's will you do it? All right, let's roll it on.

841
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: We have some more things to get to and I

842
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: don't want it to be a two hour show tonight.

843
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: So I had a question come in about the Heisman Trophy.

844
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend like a couple of minutes here. So

845
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: I've talked about this once, but now we got the

846
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: finalists to now, so let's take a look at the

847
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: tweet first, and then I got some things to say here.

848
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: Hunter hit me up and said, in the past, you've

849
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: been disappointed by the Heisman finalist. Do you have any

850
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: thoughts on the four players who were chosen this year?

851
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: So the four finalists are Jaden Daniels of LSU, Michael

852
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: Pennix Junior of Washington, Bo Nicks of Oregon, and Maserati

853
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: Marv aka Marvin Harrison Junior of Ohio State. I've got

854
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: no big issue with any of them. Jayden Daniels is

855
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: gonna win the award. I think you should win the award.

856
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: But I've got no problem with the finalists. I know

857
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: some people, you know, wanted to nitpick Marv for not

858
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: having the kind of offensive stats that like a elite

859
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: neighbors at LSU did you probably weren't going to get

860
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback and the receiver from the same team down there.

861
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: I'll discuss why that's ridiculous in the second, but you

862
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: probably weren't going to get that. Marvin Harrison is there

863
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: because number one, he didn't have a prolific quarterback this year,

864
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: still put up big numbers. He was the focal point

865
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: in big games. He was unstoppable at times in big games.

866
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: I got no issue with him being there. Jade and

867
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: Daniels is going to win the Heisman. Jaden Daniels should

868
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: win the Heisman. People saying the dude played no meaningful

869
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: games the past year just don't take that opinion seriously.

870
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: It is a casual opinion. I'm not telling you everyone

871
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: who says that as a casual but as me Maa

872
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: taught us early on, and often, smart people can say

873
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: casual things. Casual people rarely say smart things. If you're

874
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: telling me Jade and Daniels didn't play meaningful games, it's

875
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: because you've bought in and drunk the kool aid of

876
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: the only thing mattering or college football playoff implication games.

877
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: When LSU plays Florida, it's meaningful one hundred percent of

878
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: the time. When LSU plays Texas A and M, it's

879
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: meaningful one hundred percent of the time. He shined in

880
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: both those games down the stretch. And by the way,

881
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: let me tell you why he's gonna win it. Number one,

882
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: because he was the most outstanding player in college football

883
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: this year, which is the definition of the award. Number two,

884
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: he was a QB one and an RB one. He

885
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: put up over eleven hundred yards, ten touchdowns, and eight

886
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry as a runner this year.

887
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: That is like all conference status if some running backs

888
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: have those numbers, not to mention his passing numbers, which

889
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: were even more prolific. So yeah, Jaden Daniels to me

890
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: is a pretty clear runaway Heisman Trophy winner this year.

891
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't have any problem respecting the prize. By the

892
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: way of the Heisman Trophy. The person who asked the

893
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: question said, I know you've been disappointed in the past.

894
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I'm disappointed in the process. I know some

895
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: of the people who vote on this award they got

896
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: no business voting on any kind of major award in

897
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: college football. They don't know college football, they don't love

898
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: college football. Some of them, and so I've just had

899
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: a lack of respect for the process, not the prize.

900
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: I got a men's respect for that trophy. I got

901
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: a men's respect for the guys who have won it

902
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: in many years. I think they've gotten it right. But

903
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: some of the process, like some of the lead up.

904
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: Do you realize, For example, this award is voted for online.

905
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: Now It's as easy as opening your email, opening the packet, clicking, sending.

906
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: That's it. It takes ten seconds. And some people still

907
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: submit their vote before Conference Championship Saturday. It's insane. Some

908
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: people have votes and don't vote, which is also insane.

909
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: So way too many folks out there who have votes

910
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: who shouldn't have them. I've always had a problem with

911
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: the process. I don't have a problem with the prize

912
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: at all. I think the right guy is gonna win

913
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: it this year for the record, so I got no

914
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: complaints right now. If you want to bet on it, though,

915
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: if you do think that I'm wrong. If you think

916
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: that Michael Pennix did enough in the pactwel of Championship game,

917
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: or maybe bo Nix, even in defeat, did enough to

918
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: hang on to the top spot and there's going to

919
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: be an upset. We go to FanDuel right now. You

920
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: don't need to argue with me about it. FanDuel is

921
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: where we love to go to settle our debates. You know,

922
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: Like we got the playoffs coming up. If I end

923
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: up picking Michigan and you're steadfast and thinking Alabama's gonna

924
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: win that thing, well the line is nearly a pick

925
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: them right now. We can just go over to FanDuel.

926
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: We don't even have to bet. We can have the intermedia.

927
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna have FanDuel hold that money for us. Fandels

928
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: are exclusive odds provider, they have been all season. We

929
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: really appreciate them being on board. There are some interesting

930
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: Bowl lines and we're gonna get to that in very

931
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: short time. Not tonight, but in very short time. And

932
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna probably have several best bets in Bowl season.

933
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: Are Bowl bets on the Rama Noodle Express. We'll be

934
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: brought to you by FanDuel. The JP pole has been

935
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: powered by FanDuel all year. And notice, friends, and this

936
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with FanDuel, but just notice there

937
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: were there were times this year as usual where I'd

938
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: put out the jpee pole. And since the order wasn't

939
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: exactly as some people thought it should be. Instead of

940
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: just saying, oh, we disagree, they said, you don't know ball.

941
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: This model needs to be overhauled, this model is broken. Well,

942
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: I can confirm for you for the seventh year in

943
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: a row, that model which we use to place our

944
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: bets has won us money. So for seven consecutive years

945
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: against the best in the world Vegas odds makers, we

946
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: have finished plus money and that means we never had

947
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: to deposit more than once we deposited the beginning of

948
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: the season, and there's more money in that account now

949
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: than there was at the beginning of the season. You

950
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: may think that's easy because selectively you remember all the

951
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: bets you won, and you don't remember the bet you lost.

952
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: Ninety six percent of you lose money betting sports long

953
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: term because you use your gut. Here on this show,

954
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: we don't believe in using our gut. We trust the

955
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: model perfect. The model is not, but accurate and profitable

956
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: the model is, and so we appreciate FanDuel powering that

957
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: model and being the place we can go to place

958

983
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: you know what. We were gonna do this the other night,

984
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: but let's throw this question in. And then I got

985
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: something about Dion Sanders. It's a name not heard on

986
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: the show in a little while. I was just trying

987
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: to check. Oh, you know what, Colin, I do have

988
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: my chapstick, so hop please do. Points are just precariously

989
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: low in the in the studio tonight. Alright, So Trenton

990
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: hit us up and Trenton said, I know you were

991
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: not in favor of expanded playoff has this year and

992
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,280
Speaker 1: the amount of deserving or capable teams who will potentially

993
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs, change your mind on expansion. Ohio State,

994
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve loser, the SEC loser could all be

995
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: problems in the playoffs from Orlando, Florida. Well, there's a

996
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: lot of teams that could be Ohio State could be

997
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 1: a problem in the playoffs, Sure they could. Oregon could

998
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: still be a problem in the playoffs if they made

999
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: it in. They're not making it in because they don't

1000
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: deserve to be in. No, it hasn't changed my mind

1001
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: to answer your question. This year has not changed my

1002
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: mind on what the size of the playoffs should be.

1003
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: We're going to expand it anyway. We're going to twelve teams.

1004
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: That'll be next year. This time next year, we'll be

1005
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: getting ready for what quarter final games on campuses. Let

1006
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: me address one thing, one thing, since we haven't touched

1007
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: on this in a while, and we won't very frequently

1008
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: after this. Inevitably, if I've ever debated playoff expansion, and

1009
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: I've said I want four and no more. Ideally, I

1010
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: just love to go back to the BCS for many reasons,

1011
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: and people who support expansion they've listened to that, and

1012
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: they've said, look at these hypothetical matchups. Look at Georgia

1013
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: goes to Penn State in Round one and Happy Valley

1014
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: in early December. Who says no to this? How could you?

1015
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: How could you ever deny this would be a great scene.

1016
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: I've never denied that the playoff product itself would be awesome,

1017
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 1: would be wonderful, It will be, it will be awesome

1018
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: to watch. That's not chapter one of the book. It

1019
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: never has been. What do you have to lose in

1020
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: order to gain it? And some of you think it's

1021
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: worth losing some of the magnitude of regular season games.

1022
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: Some of you think there'll be more importance on more games.

1023
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: I fundamentally disagree with that, But be that as it may,

1024
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: I've just always been of the opinion that the payoff

1025
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: is not worth the trade off. So that's that's it,

1026
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: and that's all. I don't deny the games in December

1027
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: will be awesome. It's I'm gonna watch Ohio State and

1028
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: Michigan and know they're going to rematch in the Big

1029
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: Ten title game. Well, they'll probably both make the playoff anyway,

1030
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: regardless of who wins these first two games, and that's

1031
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: lame to me. I'm gonna watch Penn State lose to Michigan,

1032
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: lose to Ohio State and then walk out of the

1033
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: stadium thinking, oh man, that probably drops them all the

1034
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: way down to a ten seed. That's lame to me.

1035
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: It also takes away a lot of the magnitude of

1036
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: those games. So anyway, four is the right size to me.

1037
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: But if you wanted to expand and use this year

1038
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 1: as evidence, got no problem with it. Now. I don't

1039
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: think the worst thing in the world is people being

1040
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: mad at the end of a football season. But if

1041
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: you wanted to say that we need to expand so

1042
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 1: we never have a Florida state happen again, I'm cool

1043
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: with it. Why does it need to be twelve? Why

1044
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: does it need to be ten? Why does it need

1045
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: to be eight? Why not six? Why not? You know,

1046
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: why not four? Well, two through six and then one

1047
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: and two having a first round by so you work

1048
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: in all that stuff that prioritizes conference champs. By the way,

1049
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: that conference championship tie in is really going to come

1050
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: back to bite a lot of you because there are

1051
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: two power conferences in the future of the sport, and

1052
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: we're still using language being baked into the stuff like

1053
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: they're going to be four or five of them. I'm

1054
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: telling you there aren't. There may be quality teams outside

1055
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: the Big ten in the SEC, there will not be

1056
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: conferences that can tote the jocks of those two conferences,

1057
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: and yet we're still talking about automatic tie ins for

1058
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: these conference champs. We're still talking about the G five

1059
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: having an automatic spot at the table, and that's always

1060
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: been a ludicrous concept to me. I've always wanted a

1061
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: G five playoff, That's what I've always wanted. But I

1062
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: get shot down on that, and so I don't even

1063
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: waste my breath on it anymore. But no, I have

1064
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,439
Speaker 1: not changed my mind. But if you want to change

1065
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: my mind, like if you told me, Josh, I've got

1066
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: a proposal right here. Every commissioner's ready to sign off

1067
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: on it. It's a six team playoff with the first

1068
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,959
Speaker 1: two seeds having buys. Will you sign the piece of paper? Yes,

1069
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 1: I would. I would sign that piece of paper because

1070
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: at the very least, it would keep the sanctity of

1071
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 1: the regular season. It would prioritize play into the very

1072
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: finished line because you got buys in the first round.

1073
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: It wouldn't let every ten and two team in the

1074
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: world in, and we would maintain the guarantee that we

1075
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 1: don't have what just happened happened anymore. Because I don't

1076
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: like that about Florida State. My only thinking is if

1077
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: you gave me an AB scenario, and scenario A is

1078
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: keep the four team playoff or B go to twelve teams,

1079
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: and there's no in between. I'd keep the four because

1080
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: to me, in a decade, we've had one team get

1081
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 1: legitimately screwed. I haven't thought the other instances were legitimate

1082
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: screw jobs. This thing that happened to Florida State is

1083
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: okay if that is the price we pay. And then

1084
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: on the other side, the price we pay is draining

1085
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: the significance off dozens of regular season games. Sorry, I'm

1086
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: gonna take scenario A, and I'm gonna say I'm sorry

1087
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: to Florida State folks, and I'm gonna take scenario A.

1088
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: They don't let me make those decisions though, fortunately for

1089
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of you who want expansion. So you're well

1090
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: and good. There last question here on this glorious Tuesday evening,

1091
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: and subscribe to the channel and like the video if

1092
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: you're hearing you haven't already, because that's how we keep

1093
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: the lights on and keep the show free. And it

1094
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: is the holiday season, it's the season of giving, and

1095
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: so I don't have a bell to ring. We do

1096
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: have that cow bell over there, but it's out of

1097
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: my reach. We've already had too much, Mississippi stated on

1098
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: the show tonight with Brandon Walker leading things off. But yeah,

1099
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: just just like the video, less than a fifth of

1100
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: you have liked the video right now, and it helps

1101
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: us so much. Let's hit this last question. Turner from

1102
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: Fort Worth, Texas asked what happened to your Dion hype?

1103
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: After Colorado crawled to the finish line? It disappeared? Turner,

1104
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: That's what happened. There was a lot of hype around

1105
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: Colorado earlier in the year, and then they lost a

1106
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: lot of games and the hype was gone. And I

1107
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: didn't talk about him anymore because they weren't worth talking

1108
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: about it at the end of the year, because you

1109
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: didn't care at the end of the year, Turner, what

1110
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: happened to your hype? I see the traffic patterns on

1111
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: our videos earlier in the year. It was fishing with dynamite,

1112
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: and the dynamite was laced with cocaine. That was what

1113
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: that content was doing in the public arena. I could

1114
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: have just said the name Dion Sanders for ten minutes

1115
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: straight and you would have clicked on it. Then all

1116
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they started losing games, and we did

1117
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: some Colorado content and it didn't perform well. And so,

1118
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: as I usually do, I listened to you Turner and company.

1119
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: You told me don't talk about Colorado anymore, so I didn't,

1120
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: and they lost their final two four, six eight games.

1121
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: That's what happened. Now, there was something that some people

1122
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: were doing in the early part of this season. They

1123
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: were saying ludicrous things that didn't need to be said.

1124
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: When they beat TCU, I was surprised, and then they

1125
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: beat Nebraska and I was very happy and elated for them,

1126
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: and then they ended up was that the week I

1127
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: think week three, maybe they four, they went to Oregon,

1128
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: they just got totally annihilated and they put up a

1129
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: good fight against the USC but they lost that game too.

1130
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: It was downhill then, and it had been downhill ever since.

1131
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: They didn't have the depth. Attrition got to him. The

1132
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: length of a season got to him. But what happened

1133
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: early in the season with Dion and Colorado is everyone

1134
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: wanted to outtake each other. And that's one pool I'm

1135
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: glad I didn't jump into. We talked about them on

1136
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: virtually every show, but all I did was comment on

1137
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: what was going on. I didn't try and project. I

1138
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: didn't tell you they're about to go eight wins. I

1139
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: didn't tell you they're a contender in the PAC twelve.

1140
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you Dion's the next in line for

1141
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: Nick Saban or Dion should should have been hired at

1142
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: filling the blank instead of so and so. I didn't

1143
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: do any of that because it was premature. I didn't

1144
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: do any of it about the team because they weren't

1145
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: ever going to be that The eyeballs didn't fool me

1146
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: that much, but some people did. And they know who

1147
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: they are. And you know what, if you want to

1148
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: go hate on them, turn or go ahead, and I'll

1149
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: probably retweet it were you. But go back. All our

1150
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: videos are still public. Go back and check out our

1151
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Dion videos. They'll come right to the top if you

1152
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: filter for viewership. By the way, they'll pop up really quickly.

1153
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: There's some of our most feud videos. Go find my

1154
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: ridiculous take on Colorado and Dion. I didn't say anything

1155
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: other than what was going on. I said it was

1156
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: the biggest story in college football in the first month

1157
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: of the season. That's not even debatable. I said it

1158
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: was a great story. It was surprising because it was

1159
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: to me, I thought TCU was going to run them

1160
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: out of the building. So, if anything, I doubted Colorado

1161
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: was wrong. But I did not hardcore knee jerk react

1162
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: and say that they were going eight wins, nine wins,

1163
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: anything like that. I look, I thought we were pretty

1164
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,919
Speaker 1: fair on it. And the hype was there for a while,

1165
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: and the hype was gone very quickly thereafter because they

1166
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: weren't a good football team. And then I also said,

1167
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: and I just thought about this now, I said, people

1168
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 1: are about to recalibrate their expectations. There were people who

1169
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: thought they may not win one or two games, who

1170
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: now that they they won a couple. Now they're gonna say, oh,

1171
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Dion can't make a bowl game, and if he doesn't

1172
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: make the bowl game, they'll call him a failure. He

1173
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: was not a failure this year. Colorado was not a failure.

1174
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: This year. They improved this year. They may improve again

1175
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: next year. You don't go from one win to ten

1176
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: wins overnight. And anyone who understands how football works and

1177
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: how roster building works understand understands that's a long, arduous process.

1178
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: And you may rebuild a receiver room through the portal.

1179
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: You may dbs, you and me go DB's in the portal.

1180
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: You're not building an offensive line worth anything in the

1181
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: portal at this level. You're not building the defensive line

1182
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: worth anything at this level out of the portal. You

1183
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: won't do that. The next team that does it will

1184
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: be the first team that doesn't. And so I'm not

1185
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: telling Dion Sanders anything he may not know. I think

1186
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling some folks things they don't know, though, So

1187
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't think we hyped him up too much. Maybe

1188
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Maybe you guys will find that we're out

1189
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: of time. We did a nice little hour long show tonight.
