00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: Ed Welcome in Lake Kick is Live. It is Sunday night,

2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: September eighteenth. Ye Over, Laura, twenty twenty two. Lake Kick

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: Plot presented to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors. Thank

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: you so much for being tuned in. You know, times

5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: and jobs they are changing in our sport of college football.

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: We're jam packed high top a sun drenched downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: We've got full Week three reaction for you tonight. We

8
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: were at Penn State Auburn yesterday. We saw that blood bath,

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: but there were blood baths elsewhere, there were upsets elsewhere,

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: and there are some coaching changes happening. I'm not gonna

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: get into this a lot in this show because it's

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: just now happening in the past couple of hours. HERM

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: Edwards is out at Arizona State. I know a lot

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: of you have been tuned into NFL today and you're

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: not aware of that. HERM. Edwards is no longer employed

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: by Arizona State University. We're gonna have full week three reaction. Okay,

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: coaches are in trouble. I'm going to talk about some

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: of them. I'm going to responsibly lay out of talking

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: about some others. And it's only because I'm gathering some

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: information that's probably going to have us ahead of the

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: curve if and when the lever is pulled on said coaches,

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: use your critical thinking skills to read between the lines there.

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Every Given Saturday Tour Week four announcement coming up mere

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: minutes from now. Not quite at the top of the show.

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: But we had a wonderful time at Auburn. We're going

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: to have a wonderful time this Saturday. Stay tuned. I'll

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: tell you where we're going to be, Lagrange, Georgia. Tuned

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: in Sullivan, Missouri, watching US State College, Pennsylvania. Yeah, I

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: bet you guys are tuned in so So, Mississippi. Done

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: many a storm chasing trip to so So. Thank you

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: so much for watching. As I said, we were in

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Auburn multiple days this week. I'll tell you all about

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: that later. The sunburn pretty much tells you how the

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: week went. It was a really good week down there.

35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: But the Every Given Saturday Tour is going to roll

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: into another of our favorite locations this week, and I'm

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: going to get to it down the road. But make

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: sure if you're not already following, make sure you're following

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: over on Instagram and Twitter at Late Kick Josh, because

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: there's so much, as I always promise you and as

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: we always have delivered, there's so much that you get

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: just by looking at that Instagram story you don't get

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: anywhere else. I guarantee you we gave you a look yesterday.

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: You didn't get if you were at the game. You

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: didn't get if you were watching it on TV. So

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: make sure you're following at Late Kick Josh, unless you're

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: not into behind the scenes access, in which case you

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't care. Paper Pop time Boy. A lot of

49
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: things got popped yesterday in Auburn woo Penn State forty one,

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Auburn twelve. There's a lot of talk, including on this

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: very program last week, about things like voodoo. I remember you,

52
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: guys reminded me. Had I forgotten? But I remember? So

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: I ask you. And this is a riddle that's already

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: been solved. We got the answer yesterday. How do you

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: neutralize unintimidating environment? Well, the first thing you do is

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: you empty it out by the end of the third quarter,

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: and then you burn it to the ground in the

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. It's pretty much what Penn State did at

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: jurden Hair Stadium yesterday. It was so quiet in the

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: venue that I actually when app State pulled the upset

61
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: over Troy, well not an upset, when they pulled the

62
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: coum from behind win over Troy. I was able to

63
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: pull out the eye Josh and watch the replay and

64
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: listen to the radio broadcast with no issues. That's how

65
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: quiet it was. That's not the way that Auburn's home

66
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: environment is supposed to be in the fourth quarter of

67
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: a game with a point spread of three on it,

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: But that's the way it was. Padlock stat number one

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: plus four turnovers. That's going to do you pretty good

70
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: if you're Penn State. Padlock stat number two six point

71
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: three yards per carry. Nick Singleton goes off again, as

72
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: he will many more times in his career. I would

73
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: encourage you, if you were there, whether you were there

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: as a credentialed member of the esteemed media, whether you

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: were a fan, save those credentials, save those ticket stubs,

76
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: because based on what we saw yesterday, you may end

77
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: up being deposed as a witness. It was about as

78
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: violent as you could ever and it was beyond worst

79
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: case scenario for Auburn. But we talked about the winners first.

80
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Penn State, because if you get

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: college football, you get why this is a big deal. Simpletons.

82
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: The casuals amongst us would look and say, Okay, Penn

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: State won a game. That's a bad Auburn team they beat,

84
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: and they're not wrong in that assessment. But then they

85
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: would make the mistake of dismissing the win. No, don't

86
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: do that, don't do that at all. Like I said,

87
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: if you've watched the sport, if you've watched Penn State

88
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: for a while, you understand this was different. I don't

89
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: have to tell you that if you've watched them for

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: a while. But if you haven't, you know. One of

91
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: the hallmarks of potentially great teams down the road is

92
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: they go beat bad teams soundly. Sounds so easy, yet

93
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: so few teams are able to routinely do it. Penn

94
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: State hasn't been able to do it. That's why this

95
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: margin of victory was so surprising to a lot of people.

96
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: A lot of Penn State fans included. Be real, I

97
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: talk to a lot of you. It's not that they won.

98
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: They beat Perdue in week one, they beat Wisconsin on

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: the road in week one last year. It's not that

100
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: they won, it's when you think about that Purdue game,

101
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: you think about that Wisconsin game in Week one last year,

102
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: or any of a number of narrow Penn State road wins.

103
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: There's a reason Franklin was only nineteen and eighteen on

104
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: the road in his time at Penn State coming into

105
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: this game. Those things are hard to pull off with

106
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: any margin of victory. One point wins hard to pull off.

107
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: Those games historically under Franklin on the road at Penn

108
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: State have been nail biers, and all of a sudden,

109
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: they just smoke a team. Do you know what happened?

110
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: Does anyone know what happened? Sure, turnover margin played a

111
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: part in this. This was not Auburn coughing the ball up.

112
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: This was Penn State forcing the issue. To be very clear,

113
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: these weren't unforced errors as you would call them in

114
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: other sports. Penn State had everything to do with forcing

115
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: that turnover margin. So I'm not going to take anything

116
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: away from them. But the second thing is something finally

117
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: clicked for that team that didn't click at all last year,

118
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: and it clicked sparingly in twenty twenty, and it was

119
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: running the ball the way Penn State should be able

120
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: to run it. Nick Singleton walking in the door and

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: that freshman class walking in the door is no small

122
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: coincidence as to why they're running the ball like they are.

123
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: But Singleton's different, sort of an alien. They talk about

124
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley in rarefied language around that program, as they should,

125
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: because there aren't many of him walking the planet, and

126
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do the disservice of comparing one to

127
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: the other. But Nick Singleton's the next best thing that's

128
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: ever walked through that door since Saquon Barkley. I'll put

129
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: it like that. I will standing that. I was. Yeah,

130
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: so I took producer Jesse to the game, and reluctantly

131
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: I took him out in public. He didn't embarrass me.

132
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: I'm proud of him, but boy, he was giddy. He

133
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: was really giddy watching Nick Singleton run down the sideline.

134
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: He was really giddy watching Nick Singleton do what. To

135
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: his credit, he told me he was gonna do all week.

136
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: You know, Producer Jesse wanted a little prop bet on

137
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: this game that would have ended with him appearing on

138
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: air if Penn State won the game. I wisely did

139
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: not walk into that bear trap, and so he is

140
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: still in another room tonight. But Penn State is a

141
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: big winner here. Do you notice how seamlessly the rest

142
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: of this team functioned once they could run the ball.

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Did you notice how much better Sean Clifford seemed? And boy,

144
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about mister cliff in a second.

145
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: Do you notice how much more effective everything seemed. Do

146
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: you notice how you didn't have to constantly be in

147
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: third and long and watch Sean Clifford and his stone

148
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 1: cold Steve Austin knee brace, laboring about the pocket, trying

149
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: to buy himself another fraction of a second, hopefully Parker

150
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Washington gets open or Tinsley gets open. It was none

151
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: of that, Especially when they got in the red zone.

152
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: They just said, here you go, run it straight up

153
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: the gut. Make Auburn fold like an accordion. There was

154
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: a talent disparity on the field yesterday. I don't talk

155
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: about this stuff a whole lot because it's really it's overblown.

156
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: It's not overrated, but it's overblown because a lot of

157
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: people who talk about talent are not scouts, nor am I.

158
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: But man, it could not be ignored on field level

159
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm used to watching the SEC play out of conference

160
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: games where they have the upper hand on not only

161
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: talent and size, but depth. And if you would have

162
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: taken jerseys off of those teams yesterday and just put

163
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: generic mesh jerseys on them, you would have thought Penn

164
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: State was the SEC squad because they look bigger, faster,

165
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: and stronger. Now, if you were to look at past

166
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: recruiting rankings, they would indicate to you Penn State should

167
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: not have a sizeable edge over Auburn in that department.

168
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: But the problem is not in recruiting so much as

169
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: it's in development. I'm just telling you what it looks

170
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: like from field level. Guys have gotten to Auburn and

171
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: whatever they were coming out of high school is largely

172
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: what they are on that field. Guys have come to

173
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: Penn State and whatever they were in high school was

174
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: a starting point for what they are becoming or have

175
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: become at Penn State. Is that a credit to James Franklin,

176
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely it is. James Franklin's a guy who has continued

177
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: to not reinvent his program, but he's continued to make

178
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: tweaks here and he's nudged over there because there's never

179
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: been a reason to burn it down and start from

180
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: scratch at Penn State. It's this all or nothing, feast

181
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: or famine mentality a lot of times in college football.

182
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: That drives me crazy because there's never been a reason

183
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: for that. There haven't there haven't hasn't been a need

184
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: for wholesale change. There there has been a need for tweets.

185
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: He's made it. You saw not the finished product, but

186
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: you saw a positive sign yesterday, and a sign that

187
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: validates a lot of what they've been doing up there.

188
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: But it's also a massive indictment against Auburn. And again,

189
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to them in just a second, but

190
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: they Penn State. Penn State went into Jerden Hair Stadium,

191
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: they withstood the early wave. Sean Clifford got rocked in

192
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: the first quarter. I guarantee you a lot of people

193
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: watching live said, that's the way this game is gonna

194
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: go this afternoon. That's why Auburn's gonna end up winning

195
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: this thing. And they took it. They never they never flinched.

196
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: When did you see Penn State shaken? Clifford should have.

197
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: It would have been understandable if Drew Aller was in

198
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: the game at that point, frankly, but he wasn't and

199
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: Clifford did a quarterback sneak on the next play. So

200
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: there aren't many quarterbacks in the country that take that hit,

201
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: leave their feet, take the flat back bump as those

202
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: in pro wrestling would refer to it as, and just

203
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: get right back up. And not only did he not Blake,

204
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: rest of the team just kind of embodied that all afternoon.

205
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: It was such a validation point for Penn State. It's

206
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: not the end of the line, but let's please remember

207
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: what the talking point was about this team when we

208
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: started the season and there was one pole and one

209
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: pole only out there that had him top ten, and

210
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: that was the one on this show. I took a

211
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: lot of flag for it, which is fine. There were

212
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: some teams we were wrong about. We're not wrong about

213
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: this one. But I said, there're gonna be two nail

214
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: bier games, just like last year. There are two nail

215
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: bider games. That game at Perdue was a nail bier.

216
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: I thought the game at Auburn was going to be

217
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: a nail bier. Well, they've gotten through that opening stretch

218
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: three to zero. Now they got Central Michigan. They're favored

219
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: by over three touchdowns this Saturday. Then they've got Northwestern.

220
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: This should be a five and zho start for Penn State.

221
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: And then guess what we have mid October? Do you

222
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: want me to tell you if you're listening on podcasts,

223
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: I've taken a relaxed posture here for a second, because

224
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of envisioning down the road if Michigan's

225
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: still undefeated, and I think they will be, and if

226
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: Penn State's still undefeated, and I think they will be.

227
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: Can you imagine ann Arbor Michigan mid October, Penn State

228
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: at Michigan, and then they got Minnesota, which is the

229
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: white out game, by the way, the very next week,

230
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: and then they got Ohio State in there the week

231
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: after that big noon kickoff. So all of a sudden,

232
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: that Penn State season looks a little bit different, doesn't it.

233
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: I know some people are still out there doubting them.

234
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: That's fine. You didn't hear me coorinate them as a

235
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: playoff contender, yet you didn't hear me crown them as

236
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: a top four, top five lock. I think they're a

237
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: very very solid team. I see the AP hasn't at

238
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: fourteen today. It's still underrated Admittedly, there's not a huge gap.

239
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: Once you get into the seven through twenty range, there's

240
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: not a huge gap. So I understand it's kind of semantics.

241
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: But Penn State's a really good team. We're gonna obviously

242
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: be talking about them a lot more this season. Huge

243
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: hat tip, huge congratulations. Know a number of folks in

244
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: that operation and they've they've had a ton of noise

245
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: spoken about them, and they listened to a ton of

246
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: noise this past week about how that environment was going

247
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: to chew them up. And they did something they haven't

248
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: been doing in the past, and that is just make

249
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: the conditions irrelevant. They turned the external factors into irrelevancy

250
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: because they went in there and just took over a game,

251
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: emptied a stadium, and they traveled down there very well.

252
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: There were a ton of these these white shirts. There

253
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: were a ton of them in Lee County, Alabama and

254
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: the surrounding area this week. So it was a good

255
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: trip for Auburn folks up there. Last year. I was there,

256
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: it was a good trip for Penn State, and they

257
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: went to and oh in the process. Speaking of Auburn,

258
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: this was about as jarring a result as they could

259
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: have ever expected. No one expected it again, most Penn

260
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: State fans didn't expect this kind of margin of victory.

261
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: It's the worst home loss for Auburn in a decade.

262
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: That twenty twelve season, which was an unmitigated disaster, is

263
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: the last time that they suffered a loss like this.

264
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what it did. And we got

265
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: to be real here. Let me take a little sippy sip.

266
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: I feel like the voice is going to make it tonight,

267
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: but we got to be careful. This loss evaporated every

268
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: ounce of spring and summer equity that Brian Harson had

269
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: built up. I was a big fan and a proponent

270
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: of him being front facing in the spring. After that

271
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: garbage off the field went down and he kept his job.

272
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: I think that he represents himself very well when he

273
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: speaks publicly, and I didn't think he was doing it enough,

274
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: and so he did it throughout the spring, he did

275
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: it throughout the summer. And what that did, really it

276
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: didn't matter a whole lot, but it mattered in one way,

277
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: and that was if he was going to come into

278
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: this season and have some close losses and be in

279
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: that seven win range. But dogfights, just scraping every game.

280
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: I thought that that spring and summer equity he built

281
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: up with the fan base could possibly be enough to

282
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: buy him another season. You can't lose forty one to

283
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: twelve at home to Penn State and have that matter.

284
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: No amount of public speaking circuit work that you do

285
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: in June is going to buy you enough rope to

286
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: be losing games like this. I talk to I don't

287
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: know how a bunch of people who matter around Auburn

288
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: this week and to say the tune shifted pretty radically

289
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday to today is an understatement. It is

290
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: viewed as an inevitability that this will be the end

291
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: of the line for Brian Harson. I don't take much

292
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: joy in saying that I happen to like the guy,

293
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: happen to like him a lot, but that really doesn't matter.

294
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: There are guys that I like that are unemployed. There

295
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: are guys I don't like that are winning in this sport.

296
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: So where do you like someone. It's a business. It's

297
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: a bottom line business, and the bottom line is they

298
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback that can win for them. They

299
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: don't have the skill level on their roster to survive

300
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: what they're about to go through because while they they

301
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: faced Penn State yesterday and we're non competitive, They've got

302
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: teams coming up who are better than Penn State. You

303
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: know that Auburn team you saw yesterday. They've got to

304
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: play Georgia. They got to play Alabama, they got to

305
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: play in improving LSU, they got to play Texas A

306
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: and M. They got to play Arkansas. They've got to

307
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: go to Mississippi State. Woof they Oh, by the way,

308
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: they're just gonna go to Ole, miss too. Sorry. Amongst

309
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: all of the death march that they're gonna take in

310
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: the SEC, I forgot just another top fifteen, top twenty

311
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: team there. It's gonna be a bad time for Auburn

312
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. I'm glad we were able

313
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: to get down there this week. We had a good time,

314
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: but it's going to be a bad time. Things are

315
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: about to get real in a hurry. I will say this,

316
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: even though there's nothing official, I think there was a

317
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: sense that I picked up on that at least this

318
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: result left no doubt where the future is headed. There's

319
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: no one, in other words, who pushes back now on

320
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: the notion that this is probably it for Brian Harson.

321
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: No one pushed back on it. Whereas previously, I mean

322
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: as recently as forty eight hours ago, I could have

323
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: gotten people to push back on that. No one's pushing back. So,

324
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: like I said, all that equity gone evaporated. Now the

325
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: question becomes who's acceptable. You get your usual coaching search

326
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: cranked up, not officially but unofficially. You trust me, it's happening,

327
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: and you're going to see some very interesting names floated

328
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: out there. And I would encourage you, as I always do.

329
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: Don't look to win the press conference, don't look to

330
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: win the headlines. Don't worry about what the front page says.

331
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: Go get you a guy who can win, and get

332
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: you a guy who knows how to build. There are

333
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: several out there. Some of the names aren't sexy, but

334
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: there are several out there. When the time comes, we'll

335
00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: do that segment. That time is not tonight. It's time

336
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: every night for us to think this bright blue I

337
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: guess that's not a banner. I guess it's a screen

338
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: behind US Academy Sports and Outdoors. Did you notice we

339
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: kind of got to go on the road several days

340
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: this week? Guess who made that possible? You notice we

341
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: pretty much get to go wherever we want. Guess who

342
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: makes that possible. Do you notice that we get to

343
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: give you the show for free? Guess who makes it possible.

344
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors. Now, it'd be one thing if

345
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: this were a septic tank company, or you know, a

346
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: toxic chemical company, or I don't know any kind of

347
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: company that you probably don't have a media use for this.

348
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: Right here is a company with stores all over well

349
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: a growing portion of the United States, and a website

350
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: accessible to every one of you that has so much

351
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: stuff you need, sporting goods, equipment beyond. I was at

352
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: Auburn yesterday and we look out over this expanse of tailgating.

353
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: Now Admittedly, Academy Sports and Outdoors blanketed Auburn, Alabama already,

354
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: so I don't have to tell you guys to do

355
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: anything you're not already doing down there. Salute to our

356
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: friends at Auburn. You guys have got Academy on every

357
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: street corner. But for those of you who haven't locked

358
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: down a grill from Academy, or a tent from Academy,

359
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: or a cooler from Academy, or bats balls gloves hats

360
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: from Academy just do it. To steal a slogan from

361
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: a company whose apparel is sold at Academy Sports and Outdoors.

362
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: Just buy it. Just peruse the selection Endless in Nature

363
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: at Academy Sports and Outdoors. And while you're doing it,

364
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: understand that you are supporting the show that has supported

365
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: us almost from the very beginning, and their support grows

366
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 1: every day. I mean, I have conversations with those folks

367
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: multiple times per week now about what else we can do,

368
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: and they're very productive conversations and the cause of you

369
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: because they hear and get the traction from you. So

370
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: always appreciate Academy Sports and Outdoors for having our back.

371
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: Make sure you're checking out the selection. They have brand

372
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: new stuff for fall. Obviously, you guys know how you

373
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: live your lives in the fall. They do too. They

374
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: got your cup, so if you can't get there in person,

375
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: Academy dot Com has got your hook cup. Paper Pop

376
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: number two. Something very important happened last night in College Station, Texas.

377
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: And it's not something let me rephrase, it's not everything

378
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: that Texas A and m wanted, but it was everything

379
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: they needed. They needed to just win against Miami and

380
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: they did. Now, the final was seventeen to nine. And

381
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 1: I think if you are a future opponent of Texas

382
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: A and M, you probably watched this game and you

383
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: saw thirty seven different things that you think your team's

384
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: going to be able to exploit, and it's not going

385
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: to be good enough to beat your team. Who knows,

386
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you're right. I couldn't care less. They needed a win.

387
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't optional. Last night was not optional. They had

388
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: to get it. We got what we thought we'd get

389
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: from this game. We got a Texas A and M win.

390
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: We got a Texas A and M cover. Now, that

391
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: final score and that margin really doesn't tell the story.

392
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: You're looking at a box score. If you're watching on

393
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: YouTube right now, and if I don't give you the

394
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: final score of this game, does it make a whole

395
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: lot of sense. You're looking at what I'm looking at.

396
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: Twenty seven to sixteen. First down edge favor Hurricanes three

397
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: ninety two, two sixty four yardage edge favor Hurricanes, more

398
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: passing yards, more rushing yards, time possession, about eight or

399
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: nine minutes, whatever that is. So there were a lot

400
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: of indicators in the box score that said Miami did

401
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: they outplay Texas A and M well numerically in some

402
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: cases they did. But I kept telling you last week

403
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: when we previewed this game and I said I thought

404
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: A and M was gonna win it. I told you

405
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: I thought Miami could be very competitive here. But I

406
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: thought it was too early for them. And I realized

407
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: in retrospect when a lot of you DMed me and

408
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: said what do you mean by that, I should have

409
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: gone into further detail. What I meant was I thought

410
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: the program, the Mario Christobal Miami program, was too young

411
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: to go on the road and get this win. And

412
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: when you watch how they lost, precisely what I was

413
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: taught talking about is the reason they couldn't come away

414
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: with the win. It wasn't that they were non competitive

415
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: at all. But I think Mario Christobal actually said in

416
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: his post game it's not enough to just compete like

417
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: you can compete and still not do the things it

418
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: takes to win. You've got to execute. Competitors can screw

419
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: up every play and be playing really hard and screw

420
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: up every play, but they did not execute well enough.

421
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: A and M did enough to win. I thought that

422
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: the moment would be a little bit too big at

423
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: this point for Miami now here's what else I'll say.

424
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: This is not a finished product of a team this year.

425
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: Miami could play this game in November for all I

426
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: know and end up being good enough to win it.

427
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: It's not the way college football works. I'm just saying, though.

428
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: It's a learning experience for them. But they outgained them

429
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: by one twenty eight. They ran seventy seven plays to

430
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: A and M's fifty two. So that was again kind

431
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: of an issue this week for Texas A and M.

432
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: Twenty seven first downs from Miami and no touchdown. Now

433
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: you explain to me how you pull that off. Seven

434
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: first downs and no touchdown, critical amounts of drops wide

435
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: receiver corpse should be flat out embarrassed for Miami. I'm

436
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: not saying Tyler Van Dyke played a perfect game by

437
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: any stretch, but that dude was standing in there in

438
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, especially standing in there and taking shots

439
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: and giving you catchable balls in the same problems Miami's

440
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: receiver corps had last year and in the spring and

441
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: in fall camp cropped up to no surprise really of

442
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: anyone who pays attention to the program, and it may

443
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: very well have cost him a chance to win. Had

444
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: critical penalties, mental miscues. So that's how Miami lost the game.

445
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: But A and M won the game. It was very critical.

446
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: There were three things that happened this week that I

447
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: want you to really pay attention to because I think

448
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: these three things will matter moving forward. It's not just

449
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: a yesterday thing. Number One, Jimbo Fisher did indeed change

450
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks, so Max Johnson started for him. Didn't light

451
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: the world on fire. The best way I would describe

452
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: it is they just look more functional with him at quarterback.

453
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: I just felt a little better again. It's not a

454
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: huge statistical day. That's never the case when you score

455
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: seventeen points, but they did enough to win. I felt

456
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: more comfortable watching them, I guess, is the best way

457
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: to describe that. Number Two, Texas, A and M bought

458
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: themselves another week. If they lost yesterday, it would have

459
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: been a disaster. They bought themselves another week. What I

460
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: mean by that is I am not a believer that

461
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: teams are finished versions of themselves in September. It's very

462
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: much a developmental game at the college level, way more

463
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: than the pro level. The pro level, sometimes you just

464
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: are what you are in the first month of the season.

465
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: But the good teams, especially the ones with really deep

466
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: talent rosters, they buy themselves the opportunity to get better,

467
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: to start getting into what we call ascension mode. Now.

468
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: A and m's not there yet, but it's a team

469
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: with the capability to be there. So, for instance, they

470
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: win yesterday seventeen to nine. Unimpressive to you, maybe, But

471
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: what if we fast forward to November fifth, and they've

472
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: only lost one more game, or maybe they haven't lost

473
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: a game, and all of a sudden, they're in the

474
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: mid thirties every week, and they're averaging, you know, two

475
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: to one ratios offensively of the statistical outliers that they're

476
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: putting up right now, And all of a sudden, you're

477
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: saying to yourself, Wow, you know, if they lost that

478
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: Miami game back several years ago, it seems like now,

479
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: if they lost that game, they might have been written

480
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: off for dead. But they won that game. I didn't

481
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: realize that at the time. But they bought themselves some time,

482
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: and somehow it clicked that Max Johnson change at quarterback,

483
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: bringing some of those hurt guys back and some of

484
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: those suspended guys back. I'll talk about in a second.

485
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: All of a sudden now A and M looks good. Wow,

486
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: who would have thought it? Well, it's college football. Anyone

487
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: who's watched it is who should have thought it. I'm

488
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: not saying it's a guarantee, with them saying they bought

489
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: themselves another week to give themselves the opportunity to get

490
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: into that mode. The third thing that happened, which you

491
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: may have saw a headline about, was Jimbo Fisher suspended

492
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: several guys before this game. Now, when I saw the headline,

493
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: I was down at Auburn, so I said, huh, that's interesting.

494
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: Some of them were the same ones that were in

495
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: the news earlier this week. When I say news, I

496
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: mainly mean the hardcore college football news. You didn't see

497
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: this lead the NBC Nightly News or anything like that.

498
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it got on Lester Holtz radar. But

499
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: I do know that a number of the guys that

500
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: were suspended, I think it was four of them a

501
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: true freshmen, and guys that would have played. A couple

502
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: of them would have played yesterday. And I thought Jimbo Fisher,

503
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: for curfew related reasons, by the way, was when they

504
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: got suspended. I thought he did what he had to

505
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: do Now after the fact, everyone says, oh, of course, yeah,

506
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: you gotta suspend them. Well, no, you don't have to. Now,

507
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: I want some of you to try and put yourselves

508
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: in his position. It should be a non negotiable. I

509
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. If you're saying that to

510
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: your screen right now, he said, what part are you

511
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: trying to make. They broke the rules, they get suspended. Well,

512
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: here's what I'd like you to do. Try and imagine it,

513
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: because hardly any of us are ever going to be

514
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: in this position. Imagine being paid eight or nine million

515
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: dollars a year, having the weight of the world on

516
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: your shoulders, having had a disaster last week, and having

517
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: contributing members of your team break what some would call

518
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: a minor rule. They adn't go out and rob a

519
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: convenience store. They broke curfew. There's a way that you

520
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: could handle that where no one in the public finds

521
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: out about it, And there's a way you could tell them, Look,

522
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: you'll just run hills for me during the week. But

523
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to suspend you over this.

524
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: He could have done that, he didn't. Now they won

525
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: the game without those guys. I have a sneaking suspicion

526
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: that some of the more veteran layers of that team

527
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: really appreciate how that was handled. I think they were

528
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: integral in it being handled that way. And I also

529
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: think that every single one of those kids who got

530
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: suspended will be better for it, or the program will

531
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: be better for it, because they will be filtered out

532
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: for not responding positively to justified punishment. Either way, that's

533
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that resonates in a locker room.

534
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: When you bring in guys as part of a true

535
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: freshman class, it's a highest rate of all time, and

536
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: they get a little sideways during the week with some

537
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: things they like on Twitter and some comments they make

538
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: and some videos they post, and then they break curfew

539
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter if we got a must win

540
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: game Saturday or not. They're not here, they're not starting,

541
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: they're not playing good. That's the way it should have

542
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: been handled. I'm just saying it's not as simple as that,

543
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: and there are coaches out there who would have cut

544
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: that corner because they were in that must win situation.

545
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher didn't, so my hat's off to him. Programs

546
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: from coast to coast by the way, and I wanted

547
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: to make this comment before I move on. I hope

548
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: you watched some of this game last night, and those

549
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: of you who were fortunate enough to be there. I

550
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: talked to a couple of our viewers from South Florida

551
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: who traveled there for the Miami game. They could not

552
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: stop talking about the environment. It is very popular to

553
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: make fun of Texas A and m now. As I

554
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: told you last year, and I have reiterated several times,

555
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: I love that place, so I will always defend them.

556
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: I always laugh when they post videos of like midnight Yell,

557
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: and they post videos of various traditions they have around here,

558
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: and everyone makes fun of it because it's just the

559
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: popular thing to do, and they either defend it or

560
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: they just brush it off like they don't care. Because

561
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: once I went out there, I got it and I

562
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I couldn't care less if no one else

563
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: does it like that. How in the world are you

564
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: going to talk about being a college football fan and

565
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: about how much you love the unique cultures and traditions

566
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: around this country and then make fun of unique culture

567
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: and tradition when you see it, just because it's not

568
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: what you do in Minnesota, or are you do in

569
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: Virginia or California. It's not supposed to be what you do.

570
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: That's what college football is supposed to be. They don't

571
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: crank Inner Sandman when they run onto Kyle Field. You

572
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: know why. It's not their thing. And you also don't

573
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: do the aggie war him in Orlando, Florida because it's

574
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: not your thing. Who cares appreciate it for what it is?

575
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: You make fun of it. And I look at it

576
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: and I say, there's a lot of programs around the

577
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: country who could learn a thing or two from what

578
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: they just did last week. I want you to remember

579
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: that app State loss was one of the most embarrassing

580
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: losses in the history of that football program. And those

581
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: folks went and all they did was immediately sell out

582
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: the next week's game, and they created a spectacle of

583
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: a home environment. It was a massive recruiting weekend for him.

584
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: They knocked it out of the park, and they, for

585
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: the umpteenth time, put a display on national television that

586
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: represents everything that a lot of us love about this

587
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: game more than any other game that exists out there.

588
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: So I'll credit the A and M folks. If no

589
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: one else will congratulations on the wind they got Arkansas

590
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: this week. It's in Dallas. It's a neutral site game. Obviously,

591
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: A and M opened as a two and a half

592
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: point favorite, and I don't know if it moved in

593
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: the last hour. Actually, I've got the odds pulled up

594
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: right here and it did not, so and I'm still

595
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: a two and a half point favorite. Colin, is it time? Yeah,

596
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: So it's time to do two things. It's time to

597
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: straighten my microphone here, and it's time to let you

598
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: know where we're headed this week. Some of you think

599
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: I just gave you a tease, but I didn't straighten

600
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: the mic again. Okay. We spent Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and

601
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: Saturday in Auburn this past week. We had a special

602
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: deal with our friends at Verbo. Yes Verbo. I'll tell

603
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: you about that later. In the meantime, I want to

604
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: tell you it was a great trip, as most of

605
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: these trips are. So I think we may have broken

606
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: our record for the amount of fan interactions we had

607
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: when we were in Arkansas in week one. Never had

608
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: anything like that. But we were only there three days.

609
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: We were down in Auburn four days. So they got

610
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of a an edge on you. But

611
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: the Penn State folks, we have a huge viewership from

612
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: Penn State. We got a massive viewership from Auburn. I

613
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: cannot even begin to count how many of you came

614
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: up and said hello, we appreciate we were propped up

615
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: right there in Plainsman Park. So I head coach. Butch

616
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: Thompson over there at baseball coach, we did a little

617
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: hit with him. He just basically opened up his entire

618
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: field for us and said, here, use this as your

619
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: stage in ground. So we appreciate everyone at Auburn, but

620
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: the show must go on. And so we've now got

621
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: a week four slate on our hands. And there were

622
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: some late night deliberations going on because there were some

623
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: games that ended yesterday in a way other than what

624
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: we thought they were going to. And I got to

625
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: be honest, it had a huge impact on the every

626
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: given Saturdays week for tour destination. So guess where we're going.

627
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: We're headed to Knoxville, Tennessee for Florida versus Tennessee ranked

628
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: versus ranked rated versus rated in the jp POME. I

629
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: love going to neland stadium just on the surface, but

630
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: when they're doing Checkered Neeland like they're doing this Saturday.

631
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: I really especially love going to Nland, so we'll be

632
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: over there. I'll be over there before Saturday. I'm not

633
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: exactly sure when I'm getting in town yet. When I know,

634
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 1: you'll know. But I suspect, in fact, I promise you

635
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: the kind of spectacle that we saw in College Station

636
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: last night, I think we'll get something very similar. Huge

637
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: recruiting weekend for Tennessee too. I already know that without

638
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: even checking with Wilfong. Huge recruiting weekend coming up for them.

639
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: This will feel much like the Florida Tennessee rivalry is

640
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: supposed to feel. Huge game, and it's gonna be something

641
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: that I think Tennessee opening is a nine, nine and

642
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. It's already up to ten in

643
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: some places. There's gonna be pressure to perform. I don't

644
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: think it matters one bit. I think Tennessee will be

645
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: ready to go. I am very interested to see how

646
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson responds. Had a couple of games now where

647
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: in the postgame he's talked adamantly, but how I gotta

648
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: get better. I gotta be better, I gotta be well

649
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: you gotta be better because this is a team that'll

650
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: run away and hide from you on the scoreboard if

651
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: you're not better. Florida Tennessee never been able to see

652
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: it in person until this weekend. We are going to

653
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: Nieland Stadium and hey, I just late breaking news in

654
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: my ear. Colin's going with me, So there you go.

655
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: How about that director Colin who has not even been

656
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: officially confirmed to exist. Only just last week did producer

657
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: Jesse pop out in public, So a lot of first

658
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: happening around here. Really excited to go to Nieland this Saturday.

659
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: We go back to yesterday. Let me take another sip

660
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: of what is this espresso? Yeah, cold espresso at that

661
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: and let's roll on. LSU thirty one Mississippi State sixteen.

662
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: Massive kudos do to Matt House, that's the defensive coordinator

663
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: down at LSU. Massive kudos. Now that this game's over,

664
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: I can give you a little nugget. I was talking

665
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: to some shall we say, scouting types to keep it generic,

666
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: some scouting types that could be anything. And this was

667
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: a month ago. This was before LSU even open the season.

668
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: This was during fall camp, and those scouting types plural.

669
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: There kids plural. They said to me circle that week

670
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: three game Mississippi State at LSU, And I said, why,

671
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: mister and missus scouting types and they said, we don't

672
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: think LSU's defensive backs can match up. We think it's

673
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: a total mismatch. We think they're going to get exposed.

674
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: We think that they lost some really good players and

675
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: they replaced them with average to good players, and if

676
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: we're right, then Mike Leach will shred them. And the

677
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: game happened last night, and Mississippi State had two hundred

678
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: and fourteen yards through the air and they put sixteen

679
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: on the board and LSU closed with a thirty one

680
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: to three run to win this game. I do not

681
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: want to overlook how impressive that is. This was a

682
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: game they needed. Obviously, can't be falling to one and

683
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: two down there. This was a game they could have

684
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: been vulnerable in and they weren't. They weren't. Now. They

685
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,479
Speaker 1: didn't start fast offensively, but defense Matt House and Crewe

686
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: they gave him time. And when they clicked, when Jade

687
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: and Daniels and that offense clicked, they really clicked. It

688
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: kept him in position. So if you told me here's

689
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: another thing to keep in mind, for those of you

690
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: who didn't watch the game, it seems like every punt return,

691
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: in every kickoff return, Mississippi State got out to midfield,

692
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: so they had great starting average field position, and they

693
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: still couldn't dent the school board more than a couple

694
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: of times. So this is a way to win this

695
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: game that a lot of people did not think would

696
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: be in the cards. A lot of people thought LSU

697
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: would just fly to have to outscore them, and that's

698
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: not the way it went down. So hats off to

699
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: LSU's defense. Secondly, given the spot and given the circumstances,

700
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: I think we may have seen the best football we've

701
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: ever seen Jade and Daniels play, and that includes his

702
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: time at Arizona State. He was good last night. He

703
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: was twenty two to thirty seven, threw for two ten

704
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: one touchdown, no interceptions. He ran for another ninety three

705
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns on the two touchdowns total, So he

706
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: played not flawless, but within context and within reason, he

707
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: played about as well as you ever could have expected

708
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: him to play, especially this early in the year. It

709
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: still should be a feeling out process, and in some

710
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: ways it is, but man, he was very good last night,

711
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: And it goes back to the message board culture, goes

712
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: back to the twitter culture. Every time LSU loses a

713
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: game this year, you're going to be told Brian Kelly's

714
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: not a good fit. And every time LSU wins a

715
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: game the next week, the same folks who told you

716
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: that are gonna flip flop on him. And it's the

717
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: whole honey versus water analogy. Move at the speed of honey.

718
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: Do not let your opinion on year one head coaches

719
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: react at the speed of water because water. Just turn

720
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: the plate this way falls off, turn the plate that

721
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: way falls off. Move it the speed of honey. Sometimes

722
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: guys aren't good fits, but you don't find out over

723
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: the span of one week. So you turn that plate

724
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: sideways and let that little drop of honey slowly creep

725
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: creep down. And if LSU looks like they did against

726
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: Florida State ten times, well then you know you got

727
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: a problem. But they didn't. And now I look at

728
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: their schedule and they go to Auburn in a couple

729
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: of weeks, and they got Tennessee, they got Florida Ole.

730
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: Miss Alabama doesn't get easier. But this is a team

731
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: with good talent, not great, but pretty good talent, and

732
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: they've still got a very high ceiling this year. I

733
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about USC and Fresno for just a

734
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: couple of minutes here. I don't think a lot of

735
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: you got eyeballs on this game, but I did. USC

736
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: one going away forty five seventeen. USC is a team

737
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: and ascension mode. I know there were varying degrees of

738
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: questions out there about how seriously should we take USC

739
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: this year? Many of you were confused by this point

740
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: spread because it was twelve or thirteen or so, I

741
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: can't remember what it closed at, but you thought to yourself, hmm,

742
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: Fresno just lost to Oregon State. They're playing at USC.

743
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: Shouldn't this thing be like twenty one or so? In retrospect,

744
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: maybe it should have been, But the reason was because

745
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: USC has benefited so much from turnovers, and they did

746
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: again last night plus two in the turnover column. It's

747
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: kind of becoming more than just happenstance. Maybe a trend

748
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: this year, but the thinking in Vegas world is that

749
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: those things even out and eventually you're gonna have to

750
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: play a game straight up, and maybe us he isn't

751
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: quite as good as those margins have shown, well, they

752
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: were still very good last night. Now, defensively, they're still

753
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: giving up big plays, and Alex Grinch has faced some

754
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: of the same questions he faced early on at Oklahoma.

755
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: He's being shielded by Lincoln Riley, kind of like he

756
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: was at Oklahoma. I got confidence in him, just like

757
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: I did when he was at Oklahoma. But Caleb Williams

758
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: in the meantime, twenty five to thirty seven, two eighty four,

759
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. They had two one hundred yard rushers in

760
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: this game, which is pretty good. I think we can

761
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: all admit. But it's the first time that's happened for

762
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: USC since twenty eighteen. And here's another thing. They've got

763
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: back to back to back double digit wins to start

764
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: the season, first time that's happened since two thousand and seven. Now,

765
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: the question, as you look at USC's schedule becomes, Okay, well,

766
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: how good really are they? And how good can they be?

767
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: How are we supposed to contextualize them? Are we supposed

768
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 1: to talk about USC as a New Year's six Bowl

769
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: kind of team? Could they be the Pac twelve champion,

770
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: could they be a fringe playoff contender? I just keep

771
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: thinking about that date. Ironically, it's the same day that

772
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: Michigan plays Penn State, and that is December fifth or

773
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: October fifteenth, and that's at Utah. That's when they go

774
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: to Utah. Now they've got some games before then. First off,

775
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: they go to Oregon State this week and that's a

776
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: single digit line. They got Washington State at home in

777
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, but that game looms. Everyone knows

778
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: that game at Utah is coming, so just keep that

779
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: in mind. They're watching us in Mount Washington, Kentucky. Ballejo,

780
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: California is tuned in, and Augusta, Georgia is tuned in.

781
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: I appreciate all of you guys who are tuned in

782
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: in the live chat. We've got nearly five thousand of

783
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: you tuned in. We don't have a thousand lights on

784
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: the video yet. I think when I snapped my fingers

785
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: that'll change. Yeah, I think so, So please like the video.

786
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: That's all back to the show. We're gonna make it. Colin,

787
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: don't worry. I am going to spend a couple of

788
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: minutes talking about Georgia South Carolina for two reasons. The

789
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: first is Kirby Smart put another skull on his mantle yesterday,

790
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: and it was that of South Carolina football. True Sarah

791
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: McLaughlin special in Colombia, no other way to put it.

792
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: South Carolina did not meet the freeze point. I think

793
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: that's pretty obvious, and I think most of us understood

794
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: that going in. So they didn't have much of a

795
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: shot to win the game. It was very lopsided. Georgia

796
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: did what Alabama used to do. They do routinely now,

797
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: what Bama used to do on the road. It's been

798
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years since Bama was this dependable on

799
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: the road. I am making this comparison for two reasons.

800
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: Number one because it's valid, and number two because my

801
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: friends over on Dogs twenty four to seven love nothing

802
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: more than when I compared the Georgia prom to the

803
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: Bama program. I know they love it. They let me

804
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: know every time how much they love it. So I'm

805
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: doing it once more. Now. I've seen some talk out

806
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: there about how one program's overtaken the other, blah blah blah.

807
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,959
Speaker 1: We're not doing that tonight. I'm talking about this football game.

808
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: But what they do on the road is not fun

809
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: for you to watch. They do run it up and

810
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: they do leave no doubt about as well as anyone

811
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: right now. Shark Week prepared me for this. I was

812
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: thinking about this yesterday when I was driving back to Nashville.

813
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: I love Shark Week growing up. I love Shark Week

814
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: before Shark Week was cool. I'm kind of like Barbara

815
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: mandreul to country music, but I am that way to

816
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: Shark Week. I was Shark Week before Shark Week was cool.

817
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: And the thing about Shark Week is when they show

818
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: the Great Whites and the sea lions. It is sobering

819
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: for a child to watch. Sea lions are adorable. They

820
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: are very cute, lovable. You think to yourself, why don't

821
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: more humans have these things as pets. Here's the problem

822
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: with sea lion. The Great White does not see it

823
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: like you and I see it from the comfort of

824
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 1: our living room. The Great White looks at the sea

825
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: lion and it sees lunch, and that's it. And when

826
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: Georgia looks at your program, they don't see upstanding men

827
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 1: of character. They don't see bright young minds. They don't

828
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: see cool logos. They don't care what the mothers and

829
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: sisters and brothers and uncles think and how they're all

830
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: in the stands watching their kids play. They just come

831
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: in and they shred you. They rip you to pieces,

832
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: and then they leave and you're splattered all over the place.

833
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: Shark Week got me ready for what Georgia now does

834
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: to teams on the road. So I encourage you if

835
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: you were a little disturbed by what you saw yesterday,

836
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: just check out Shark Week. You'll be fine. Anyway. After

837
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: this game, where there's not really much more to say

838
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: about what Georgia did, it was annihilation. After the game,

839
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: Shane Biemer had a press conference, which every coach has,

840
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: and I started to get some text about it. This

841
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: game happened early, so it was over midday and about

842
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: the time our game starting down at Auburn. I'm starting

843
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: to get some text about Shane Beemer's postgame remarks, and

844
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: I of course had not seen them. So this was

845
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 1: a situation where I'm getting your feedback before I myself

846
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: have seen what it is you're talking about. So finally

847
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: today I saw what you were talking about. Luckily we

848
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: have procured the video. Now I want you to know

849
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 1: before Colin rolls this, A big deal was made about

850
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: this and things were said. I'm gonna let you react

851
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: to it. But I'm going to tell you what I think.

852
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: It won't take long, I promise. On the other side,

853
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: let's see it you sent any give up in the

854
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: locker room? Hell, no kind of questions that Phil, We're

855
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: one and two. We're one and two. We got a

856
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: bunch of fighters in that room, and give up. That's

857
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: not a part of this football program. Get out of here.

858
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: Man with that. So mainly people unfamiliar with what a

859
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: fought told. Even is had a problem with what Shane

860
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: Beemer said. If you didn't understand the question he was asked,

861
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: do you sense any give up in the locker room? Now,

862
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm not really going to cast dispursions anywhere. I don't

863
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: care if the guy wants to ask that question. And

864
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: for that matter, I don't personally know of any complaining

865
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: he did about it. He may have, I haven't heard

866
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: his personal reaction to the answer he got. It may

867
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: just be other people being offended and he couldn't care

868
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: less about it. My point is, I don't care that

869
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: he asked the question. I also don't care about how

870
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: Beamer reacted, because I'm pretty sure I would have reacted

871
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: the same way. I heard a lot of folks. And

872
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: this is the reaction I got from people. People say, well,

873
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: he just kind of responded as a jerk. No, he

874
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,959
Speaker 1: responded in a real way. See a lot of folks

875
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: out there complaining about coach speak and about how coaches

876
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: won't be real with you, and then one's real with you.

877
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: You ask him if his team's quit after week three

878
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,959
Speaker 1: and he verbally backhands you, which is what he should

879
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: have done. It's what I would have done. And also

880
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 1: I got to be careful because there's so many tangents

881
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: I could go on. People who talk about other people

882
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: quitting normally have no clue what they're talking about because

883
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: they've normally never been in a locker room. And even

884
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: if you have been in a locker room, but you're

885
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: not in that locker room, you don't know if anyone's quit.

886
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: You have no clue what you're talking about. So I

887
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: always love slamming the door on that. I rarely traffick

888
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: in that myself. If I am trafficking in it, it's

889
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: normally November. Firstly, and secondly, I have direct knowledge of

890
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I can pretty well rest assured

891
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: people talking about South Carolina quitting yesterday didn't have direct

892
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: knowledge of what they're talking about. Anyway, back on track.

893
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: Second thing he needs to handle it better was the

894
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: other bit of criticism that I got because I flat

895
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: out put on Twitter earlier today. How does anyone have

896
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: a problem with this? How's this a big deal? And

897
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: I needs to handle it better? How would you like

898
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: him to handle it? I asked a couple of you,

899
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: how would you like him to handle it? Would you

900
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: like him to respond in utter deference? Does he need

901
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: to bend a knee to the assembled beat and media

902
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: in South Carolina? No? I think that sometimes when adults

903
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: answer in an adult way, some folks just have a

904
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: problem with it. They're rubbed the wrong way. But there's

905
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: a double standard in this sport. And you know it's true.

906
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: If Nick Saban answered a question that way, you have

907
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: no problem with it, and yet Shane Beamer answered a

908
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: question that way and some of you do have a

909
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: problem with it for whatever reason. Now, if you want

910
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: to tell me, well, Nick Saban's a better coach than

911
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: Shane Biemer, he's got the track record, Okay, but you

912
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: have just admitted there's a double standard. I'm just gonna

913
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: judge him all the same if I wouldn't have a

914
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: problem with Kirby or Saban or Dabbo answering like that,

915
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with Beamer answering like that.

916
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: And that's about all there is to it. Okay, that's it.

917
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: Time to move on some more out of takeaways from yesterday.

918
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: Texas won a game that's not going to be remembered

919
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: ten years from now, but it's a really, really big deal.

920
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: They were down to Utsa seventeen to seven, and this

921
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: was probably a box score or a lower third or

922
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: a highlight type game for most of you, you probably

923
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: didn't tune in. They were in a vulnerable position. It

924
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: wasn't until Thursday that they knew Hudson Card was going

925
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: to be good enough to play. And I can tell

926
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 1: you confidently early in the week they did not think

927
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: he was going to be able to go, and they

928
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: were down seventeen to seven, and they didn't blink. Those

929
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: were the direct words of Steve Sarkisian after the game.

930
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: By the way, now I want you to think about

931
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 1: something could be nothing, could be everything. Last year they

932
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: got the Oklahoma loss, and as has been well documented

933
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: by now on this show, amongst others, Steve Sarkisian was

934
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: on record as saying after the Oklahoma game, we never

935
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: got our our mind back. I never got the team back.

936
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: This was that moment post Bama close win, in other words,

937
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: at or close loss, and you've got a chance to implode.

938
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 1: You're down ten, you got your backup quarterback in and

939
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: you just you run him out of the building. You

940
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 1: end up winning comfortably. You end up winning and covering.

941
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: And that's a really big deal because that's not what

942
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: they did last year. And what did they do. They

943
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: bought themselves a week. They're going to go to Lubbock,

944
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: Texas this week. That line opened at three and a

945
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: half or four in favor of Texas. They've got Oklahoma

946
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: coming up, so we know we got West Virginia and

947
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma coming up. Well, we got to get there first.

948
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: Texas I thought performed very admirably yesterday because they didn't

949
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: have their fastball, and the hallmark of good teams is

950
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: they can win when they have to put their B

951
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: minus effort out there. They were able to win, So

952
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: my hat's off to them. That is not a nothing burger,

953
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: to say the least. Washington just beat Michigan State yesterday. Were.

954
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: There's some games where you look at the final yesterday,

955
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: that NC State Texas Tech game think a little misleading

956
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: because of turnovers. That Washington game was just kind of

957
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: a beat down. Michigan State's got a problem a couple

958
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: of them. Actually. They got ripped through the air by

959
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: Michael Pennox twenty four four for nearly four hundred yards

960
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. That's what the Indiana transfer quarterback went for.

961
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: And secondly, Michigan State couldn't run the ball to save

962
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: their lives. Twenty They ran the ball twenty nine times,

963
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: so they invested a significant portion of their game plan

964
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: into running the ball, and they put forty two total

965
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: yards up out of those twenty nine carries. Stats and

966
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,760
Speaker 1: Info tells me that is one point four yards per carry.

967
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: I was listening to this game driving home and then

968
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: I went and rewatched it obviously when I got back

969
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: home earlier this morning. This is going to create an

970
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: interesting situation for Michigan State this week. They played Minnesota.

971
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: That is a very tight point spread at open think

972
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: one or one and a half. That is going to

973
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: put Michigan State in wounded animal mode at home. More

974
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: on that game later this week. I'm gonna have to

975
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: take a second look at Washington. Before the season, I

976
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: was doing a hit with our buddies. I think mikey

977
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: Amo was on out there, Haberman and Mike gm Anyway,

978
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: I was on PAC twelve Serious Radio and we were

979
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: talking about Washington at length, and I know that my

980
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: initial take in the summer was there is a surprising

981
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: amount of talent there that was just horribly misutilized by

982
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Lake. But Calin de bor is the new head

983
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: coach there, They've probably got a coaching staff way more

984
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: adept at using the talent they inherited. I just didn't

985
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: know if they'd start fast enough. And yet here they

986
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: are really taking Michigan State to the woodshed last night.

987
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: And now I've got to look at them, and I've

988
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: got to look at the fact that Washington's three to oh,

989
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: so that's going to be a team. I'm focused a

990
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: lot on this week. Ole Miss totally and completely splattered

991
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech yesterday. Probably as embarrassed as I've been in

992
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: a long time is the fact that I put money

993
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: from my wallet on Georgia Tech in a football game yesterday.

994
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: And that's on me, and I got to live with that.

995
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: It was a bloodbath. And you think of Old Miss,

996
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: I think most of you. When you think of Old Miss,

997
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: you think high octane bombing away and it was none

998
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: of that. They ran the ball sixty two times. Lane

999
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: Kiffin came in and just flat out realized, we don't

1000
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: have to do anything else. I got a little quarterback

1001
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: situation here. I need to figure out save it for

1002
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: another day that won't be today. We're gonna run it

1003
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: sixty two times. We're gonna run it for over three

1004
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen yards on them, and we're gonna have

1005
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: thirty one first downs and this will never be in doubt.

1006
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: And we're gonna have a lot of our alumni in

1007
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta have a nice afternoon in the sun. And that's

1008
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: pretty much the day yesterday. That's your game recap. It's

1009
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: over for Jeff Collins at Georgia Tech, it's over. Next

1010
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: up Oregon really took care of Brigham Young BYU. I'm

1011
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna stick to my word. I'm gonna use the acronym BO.

1012
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: Nicks had five touchdowns yesterday, which was really interesting because

1013
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,240
Speaker 1: I was standing, No it is running. I was standing

1014
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: on the field at Auburn with Jim Dunaway front of

1015
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: the program. Check out Next Round Live their YouTube channel

1016
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: Next Round Live. Those guys are doing in the radio

1017
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: world a very parallel version of what we've done in

1018
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 1: more of the YouTube world, and they have a YouTube

1019
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: channel of their own. Really good friends of the program,

1020
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: Really good dudes, Next Round Live. I think you'll really

1021
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: love their content. But I was talking Dunaway yesterday because

1022
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: there was nothing else to do in the fourth quarter,

1023
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: and he said, isn't it crazy how we're sitting here

1024
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,720
Speaker 1: watching bow Nicks put up five touchdowns like three thousand

1025
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: miles away while Auburn is void of any quarterback ability

1026
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: and talent whatsoever in the game. That's happening right in

1027
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: front of us. And I said, yeah, that is pretty

1028
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: crazy now that I think about it. It's got such

1029
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: a way with words and metaphors, does that gym dun Away.

1030
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: So Auburn's imploding in front of our very eyes, and

1031
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: bow Nix is out there just kind of taking it

1032
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: to BYU. Now Byu is down, multiple receivers, down, multiple

1033
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: defensive linemen. This is not an indictment on them, It's

1034
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: just it's a loss. It's what happens when you load

1035
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: your schedule up like they did. This is what you

1036
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: have to face when you move to the Big twelve. Now,

1037
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: they're not a stranger to this because they've been playing

1038
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: the independent schedule for a little while. Now. It's a

1039
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: credit to them. They're upping the level of play. They're

1040
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna have some losses, They're gonna have some bumps in

1041
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: the road. This is not a team that's going anywhere.

1042
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,760
Speaker 1: They'll be fine this year. They'll be back. They'll probably

1043
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: end up upsetting a couple of folks down the road.

1044
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: But this is just a nightmare for anyone who wanted

1045
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: to discredit Georgia in Week one by beating an overrated

1046
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: Oregon team. Oregon was overrated relative to where the AP

1047
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: had them, to be clear, now that's our opinion, but

1048
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: they weren't badly overrated. Oregon's a good team with a

1049
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: very very underrated talent roster. Georgia just just took them in,

1050
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: disposed of them in Week one and here they are.

1051
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: As soon as they get done being toyed with by Georgia,

1052
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: they just get right back to taking care of business.

1053
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: That's how you know. It's one of the ways you

1054
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: know how good Georgia is so, yeah, congratulations to Oregon.

1055
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: Say what, no, Jesse, Jesse just oh, that's embarrassing. Should

1056
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 1: I tell them what you told me in my ear? Yeah? Okay. So,

1057
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: so I've had a little trickle. I've had a cold

1058
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: for like a week. I had a little trickle that

1059
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: I could feel in my nose, but I didn't know

1060
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: if it was visible on air, and I can't really

1061
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: tell on our screen. And then Jesse comes in my

1062
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: ear and says, wipe the left side of your nose,

1063
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 1: at which point I realized fifteen seconds ago it was visible.

1064
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: All right, So there we go, Jesse. I don't want

1065
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: to get out of this without congratulating app State. I mean,

1066
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: it was a pretty surreal experience. Yesterday we were at

1067
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: Auburn and I'm I'm We're in the middle of like

1068
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: an injury time out or something, and I'm turning I'm

1069
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: watching the big screen cause they kind of like like

1070
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: our little big screen here. Imagine if right now we

1071
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: were just watching a game on there. You never know

1072
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: if it's live or if it's replay. It turns out

1073
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: we were watching the final play of Troy versus app

1074
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: State live. There's no sound there's just the video. So

1075
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: some folks will look at their phone. Some folks are

1076
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: going to the concession stand. Some folks have already been

1077
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,439
Speaker 1: on the road for twenty minutes because their home team's

1078
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: getting blown out. And I see what can't be real,

1079
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: and that is the ending of that app State game.

1080
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: And it was. And I know some people on that

1081
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: Troy's staff. I intentionally have not reached out today, guys,

1082
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: because I know, I know you're gutted, But wow, App

1083
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: State the past two weeks. Think about that. So they

1084
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: scored forty in a fourth quarter and lost against North Carolina,

1085
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: and that's like the third most crazy thing that's happened

1086
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: for them this year. And it's September eighteenth, every given Saturday,

1087
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: every given Saturday. Congrats to app State. Meanwhile, I want

1088
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: to bring to your attention this deserves a paper pop.

1089
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: I want to bring to your attention. Basketball season has

1090
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: not started yet, but that doesn't mean that Kentucky and

1091
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: Kansas and Duke in Arizona cannot be a combined three six,

1092
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: not eleven and one. Kansas and Duke. And I can't

1093
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: believe I'm about to say this. We had to consider

1094
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: it for the every given Saturday tour, we had to

1095
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: We're not going, We're going to Knoxville, but we had

1096
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: to consider it. We had to consider Kansas versus Duke.

1097
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,720
Speaker 1: Kansas is favored by over touchdown against Duke. By the way,

1098
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: Kansas has already beaten West Virginia and Houston on the road.

1099
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: They took the soul from Houston so much yesterday that

1100
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: Houston I think I think one kid rkaoed his own

1101
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: teammate on the sideline our sweet Chin music. I don't

1102
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: know what finishing move he used, but it was not

1103
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: a good scene on the Houston sideline. Oregon State's three

1104
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: and zero. They've beaten Boise, They've beaten Fresno, Arizona. We're

1105
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 1: one went away from already cashing our preseason win total

1106
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: bet on Arizona was two and a half. By the way,

1107
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: they beat North Dakota State. So hey man, some of

1108
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: these teams that people overlooked are rolling and I congratulate them.

1109
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 1: Can't spend a ton of time on it, but I

1110
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: want the congratulations out there. So I've got to do

1111
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: two things. The first thing I gotta do, I got

1112
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: to address something. The Raman Noodle Express has been bad, bad,

1113
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: embarrassingly bad, and I have had it out. In fact,

1114
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: you hear that I'm kind of hoarse. It's because I

1115
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: yelled a significant amount in the office today at this computer.

1116
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: This is the model. I hold it in my hand

1117
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: right now. This is the model. It lives in this computer.

1118
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. It's been terrible. We've had a very

1119
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: very bad stretch of weeks here. Now here's what I'm

1120
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: not gonna do. What I'm not gonna do is start

1121
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: apologizing for anything. This is gambling. That's what this is.

1122
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: So I got to it wasn't as bad as you

1123
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: would think. But I got about a dozen or two

1124
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: dozen dms yesterday from grown men wanting to complain to

1125
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: me in varying degrees of language about losing money. Here's

1126
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: what you need to understand, and this is about the

1127
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: last time I'm going to talk about this. Do not

1128
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: ever come at me, email DM in person, whatever about

1129
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: me losing you money. You bet your money and if

1130
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: you lose it, you lose it. If you don't want

1131
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: to follow any of the picks we give out here,

1132
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: then don't do it. If you can't afford to lose money,

1133
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: I would always advise you to never be betting a

1134
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: dime on this stuff anyway. So that's the first thing.

1135
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: The second thing, if you have followed us for any

1136
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: length of time, is you know how this goes. I

1137
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: get the sense most of the ones complaining are either

1138
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: new to sports betting or they're new to the show.

1139
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: We will be fine. We've got a very long and

1140
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: established track record with the modeling we use, so we'll

1141
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: be fine. I mean, Jesse, you were new I think

1142
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: two years ago. We had like an eighteen and two

1143
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: run at one point, and boy, everyone sung our praises.

1144
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: I guess which model we were using. This one, same one.

1145
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 1: So we'll hit a hot streak. But in the meantime,

1146
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: you're getting blocked if you come at me with some

1147
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: of the stuff you guys came at me with over

1148
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 1: the past twenty four hours. It ain't on me when

1149
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: you lose your money. So either follow all the picks,

1150
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: don't follow them at all. But I'm not about to

1151
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: listen that. All right, it's time to be nice again.

1152
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm on one early this week, and it's way out west,

1153
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: and it involves a team we just talked about. Well,

1154
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: it involves a team that plays a team that we

1155
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: just talked about Washington State plus six. They are playing

1156
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: Oregon and we like this to the model likes it

1157
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: to be a tie game, which is impossible in the

1158
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: college game. We don't mess around. Let the folks on

1159
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: Sunday do we don't end in tie. I don't care

1160
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: if we got to play to like three in the morning,

1161
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: like I would did. We'll get you a final score,

1162
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: Washington State plus six. We are going to move on

1163
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: some more games, and we're gonna move on them pretty

1164
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: early in the week, So stay tuned. We'll be fine.

1165
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: We'll be fine, We'll be fine. I also want to say,

1166
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: do you notice what happened to herm Edwards? You notice

1167
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: Arizona State losing last night outright to Eastern Michigan. We

1168
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: were on that one, but those of you who missed

1169
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: Friday night lines were not on Eastern Michigan with us,

1170
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: So we actually had two wins that happened because of

1171
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: Friday night lines that some of you ignored. Don't ignore

1172
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: Friday night lines. A lot of these lines wait till

1173
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: later in the week on purposefully so we can get

1174
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: some added value. Make sure you're watching on Instagram at

1175
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: late kick Josh I try and tell you every week,

1176
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: make sure you're following over there for that very reason. Okay,

1177
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,959
Speaker 1: I got to do something I've never done before because

1178
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 1: we've never been in position to do this before. But

1179
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Colin is sitting on a piece of footage in the

1180
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: control room right now where it's kind of making its debut.

1181
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: It's making its debut on the show. So I have

1182
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: not told you about this yet, but I can tell

1183
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: you now. Our show has done better than anyone except

1184
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: us thought it would ever do over the first two

1185
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: years of its existence here, and management has taken notice.

1186
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: And when I say management, I mean people who work

1187
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, you know, people who work it in the

1188
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: New York offices who probably couldn't find some of the

1189
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: towns we go to on a map, very high level mustaches.

1190
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: But they've taken notice because you have made them take notice.

1191
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: And so we have all of a sudden started to

1192
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: get knocks on our doors from some very big partners.

1193
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: We don't always answer because we want to do business

1194
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: with people who it makes sense for us to do

1195
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: business with. Well, one of them came to our door

1196
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: and it makes a lot of sense for us to

1197
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: do business with this one and it was verbo verbo

1198
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: is in the vacation rental business. Here's what they did

1199
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: this week. They went down to Lake Martin in very

1200
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: scenic East central Alabama, an area that I've been too

1201
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: many times because I grew up down there. They took

1202
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: a ridiculous rental home on Lake Martin, six or seven bedrooms,

1203
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: and they said, hey, why don't we just put you

1204
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: guys up there for the week. Brian McFadden b mack

1205
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: came up there, came down he lives in Atlanta. Our

1206
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: entire production crew went down there and we just were

1207
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: given the house. And here's one of the trade offs

1208
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: for us being given that house. We filmed a commercial

1209
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:49,919
Speaker 1: forum roll at Colin. There's nothing like college football. There's

1210
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: nothing like the experience already. And to be able to

1211
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: stay at this verbal vacation home in this area where

1212
01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: it's so secluded, you've got lakefront access, you've got fun,

1213
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: and you see how big the place is and how

1214
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: many of your family and friends that you can fit

1215
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: here comfortably. It was everything that I wanted. Come on in.

1216
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Oh what's up? What's up? Josh? How you doing? I'm

1217
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: good brother? How about you? Man? I'm happy to be

1218
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: here football time, football season. You know, I'm here to

1219
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: do a job, but also too, I'm at my best

1220
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: when I'm comfortable, and in this situation, I feel like

1221
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm at home. Look at this living room, Yes, and

1222
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: look at that deck. Oh my goodness, man, we got water.

1223
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: I was amazed. We got enough room for family and

1224
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: friends to come over. Oh my goodness, my guy herboat

1225
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: did it? Look at this. It's just so much more relaxing,

1226
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: so much more inviting, and it's such a reward for

1227

Speaker 1: making it to game day. This is amazing. Yeah. Oh man,

1228

1229
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:53,959
Speaker 1: a beautiful area. So yeah, I think pretty good trade off.

1230
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we get a full vacation home on Lake Martin,

1231
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: which is gorgeous. If you've never been there before. You

1232
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: got to drive through some country free roads to get there,

1233
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: but when you get to where you're going, you realize

1234
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: that drive's worth it. The folks at Verbo really set

1235
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: us up, and then we had an entire week's worth

01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: they are yet, but the weeks that those happen on
