1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: And welcome in. Lake Kick is Live. It is Thursday

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: Night in March thirty first Dear of a Lord, twenty

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: twenty two. What should the expectations be a year after

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: you win the national Championship? What we're going to discuss that,

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: amongst many other things. Tonight were jam packed high a

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: top what can only be described as a conflicted downtown Nashville,

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Tennessee mid eighties, yesterday, mid fifties. Today, Colin had no

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: clue what to wear. And that's how ghosts normally tend

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: to operate, if you know, you know, look yesterday's Stormchase,

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about it. It was a total bust,

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: big waste of my time. Tonight's show, though, will be

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: nothing like that for you. We have got some talk,

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: question and answer style about Georgia. What should the expectations

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: be there? What also should happen in the state of

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Texas when Texas joins the SEC Who will run things

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: out there? What else are we talking about? We got

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: a lot of arch Manning. No, well, we got a

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: question about it arch Manning tonight. Also, you know, we've

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: got a Q and a mail bag episode for you tonight.

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: We're doing at least one more of those Tonight's tonight,

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: and it takes us all over the place. That's why

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: I've loved this format for about the past three weeks,

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: because we're covering so much that normally I wouldn't even

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: think to cover. So by the time we wrap this

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: show up in the next thirty to forty five minutes,

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: I think you're going to get a lot out of

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: this because I got a lot out of recording these

28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: over the last month, so I've really liked this. Also,

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: I got a story for you towards the very end.

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: We have not done some all access story time in

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: quite a while, so I figured I would do that tonight. Boy,

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: the international shout out community is on fire. Let me

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: tell you Jesse and Colin where they're watching us tonight. Melbourne,

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Australia tuned in, con Berrah, Australia tuned in. Also Bromley, London, Manchester, England,

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: Tel Aviv, Israel, Saint George, Grenada, and Low Anne, Arkansas

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: all tuned in tonight. Thank you guys so much. I

37
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: appreciate that the international shoutouts nor the state side shout out.

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: It's done. We will get to more later, So let's

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: dive into the mailbag tonight. I have loved this, loved this,

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: loved this, and this is why I'm gonna show you.

41
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: This is where you take us. Well, first off, you're

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: taking us here down a road with which I'm going

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: to be very careful as I travel it. Cooper Patagna,

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: who A knows better but b has access to the

45
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: mailbag just like any other citizen out there, asks who

46
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: has more wins over the next five years, Brian Kelly

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: or Billy Napier. Now, Cooper's a good friend. Well he's

48
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: a friend, is he good We'll see by the end

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: of this answer. He's trying to get me to choose

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: a side here and thus alienate an SEC fan base,

51
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: which goes against all protocol on this program, especially in springtime.

52
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: But look at what we have here. Keep in mind

53
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: these programs play every year. For those unfamiliar out there,

54
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: If you chose to just check out in November of

55
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: last year and you just came back to the college

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: football watering hole, yeah, actually, if that's your scenario, Wow,

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: what a shock I have for you here. Brian Kelly

58
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: is now the head coach at LSU. Napier is over

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: in Gainsville. He's at Florida. These two are going to

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: play each other every year. If I were to ask

61
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: you this question, some of you are probably already working

62
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: this out in your mind. Which of them has more

63
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: wins five years from now and they play each other,

64
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: so it's not just a head to head record. But

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: is it a three to two, two to three, is

66
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: it a four to one? Is it a clean sweep?

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: And what do you value more here? Because this is

68
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: where I came is the angle I came from. Do

69
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I value tenure, seasoning if you will, because that's what

70
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly has. I've seen Brian Kelly do it at

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: this level, at the power five level. I've seen him

72
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: do it for quite a while. You know my affinity

73
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: for Brian Kelly, but I've also got a healthy amount

74
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: of affinity for Billy Napier two. So do I value

75
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: the seasoning the Wikipedia track record list if you will?

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: Or do I value a guy who is an up

77
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: and comer who I think has all the tools as well,

78
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: just gets a chance to shine finally on the big

79
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: stage and at least, as of this moment, has a

80
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: more workable path. The reason I say as of this

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: moment is because I know there's this thinking out there

82
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: that the SEC East will forever lag behind the SEC West.

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: It has for a little while. I don't know if

84
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: that's always going to be the case. Certainly there has

85
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: to be somewhat of a cyclical nature to this. And

86
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee, if we were to do red arrow,

87
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: green arrow, certainly Tennessee is an improving program and could

88
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: be a rapidly improving program with the quarterback situation there.

89
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about future tents and present tents. Also,

90
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: South Carolina is improving under Shane Beam or Kentucky is Kentucky.

91
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: I got a question today about why I don't talk

92
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: about Missouri more. Ironically, we're doing a mailbag episode and

93
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: a question about Missouri was not posed. Just ask one.

94
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: I'll talk about the Tigers more. Ask a Missouri question,

95
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: I'll answer it. So, yeah, the SEC East lags behind

96
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know maybe the gap will be

97
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: so wide as to affect the answer to this question,

98
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: because it is. It is a grown man's chore to

99
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: have to draw Alabama and Texas, A and M every year.

100
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: And now Sam Pittman has all of a sudden decided

101
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: to announce Arkansas is just kind of here and not

102
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,559
Speaker 1: going away. It's not going to be a little spike,

103
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: your little one year wonder year. Eventually something's gonna happen

104
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: at Auburn, either Brian Harson will get it figured out

105
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: if someone else will, and it just kind of the

106
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: drum beat goes on. I didn't even mention Ole Miss

107
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: they won ten games last year. I think if I

108
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: power rated the Hires, as we already did on this show,

109
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: I liked Kelly Moore. I think because of the division situation,

110
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: if I would have to place money on this, you know,

111
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: I actually may lean Napier by the slimmest of margins.

112
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I really don't know. You know

113
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: what it may come down to. It may actually come

114
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: down to the head to head factor, as crazy as

115
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: that sounds, over a five year period. Basically, there is

116
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: no skilled way to answer this question. I'm gonna go

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: fifty one percent Napier, which reserves the right for me

118
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: to say, well, it was only a fifty one percent.

119
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: Guess if and when Brian Kelly just starts immediately dominating

120
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: in year one, We're gonna talk more about LSU not

121
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: tonight necessarily but I was, as I said, on a

122
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: complete bust of a storm Chase yesterday, and so I

123
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: got a chance to listen to virtually every podcast in

124
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: the twenty four to seven Sports Network, listening to Shay

125
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: and the Guys with the Go twenty four to seven

126
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: pod talking about some of the very very early reactions

127
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: to Brian Kelly practices at LSU. And I've been looking

128
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: forward to this, the vibe that's coming off of LSU football,

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: because I knew what it was going to sound like.

130
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: This was no mystery, it was going to sound something

131
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: along the lines of this. Things are more professional, Things

132
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: are more structured. Guys are a lot more detail oriented.

133
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: Guys are about their business a whole lot more. Yeah,

134
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: stands to reason when you understand what you're shifting from, too.

135
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what they think about the roster

136
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: they inherited, What do they think, how many of these

137
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: true freshmen realistically can be plugging helps immediate impact guys.

138
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: And then how much further down the road are we're

139
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: going to have to get until we think we can

140
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: quote unquote contend, until we really think we're in the picture.

141
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: A lot of the more reasonable analysis, and I would

142
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: agree with. This is if you want to talk about

143
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: that C word contention, you're probably talking about next year

144
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: being the first year you can reasonably have that conversation.

145
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: This year is get it on the rails and dust

146
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: the program off and make sure it's ready to go

147
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: for next year. And anything you get this year is gravy. Look,

148
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: you could say the same thing about Napier at Florida.

149
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: I think a fun side question to this would be

150
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: who should you or Hoops should you expect more from

151
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: in year one? But it's not a Q and a

152
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: mail bag for me, it's a Q and a mail

153
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: bag for you. So when one of you asked the question,

154
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I will answer it. Moving right along here, this plays

155
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: off something we talked about at great length the other

156
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: night and did really good traffic. Dabo Swinny videos always

157
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: do good traffic on the YouTube channel. So Marcus asks,

158
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: do you think in Dabo's twenty twenty two season he

159
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: can play the no One Believes in us and little

160
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: old Clemson cards and get Clemson back to an acc title.

161
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: Short answer, yes, I do think he can do that.

162
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: For those of you unfamiliar with what we're talking about here,

163
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: you must be a pretty new college football fan, which

164
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: is fine. We welcome all newcomers. But this was the

165
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: this was kind of the mo for a little while

166
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: of Dabbo at Clemson. Now, Dabo in an of himself

167
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: is not inauthentic when he does this. This has been

168
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: the way he's wired for a long time. You can

169
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: talk to people going all the way back to his

170
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: days in little old Pellam, Alabama, the way that he

171
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: came up, the way he ended up being able to

172
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: play at Alabama, the way he ended up being able

173
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: to become the head coach at Clemson. It's always been

174
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: a me against the world. It's always been a little

175
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: old me. It's always been you fill in the blanks,

176
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: the same kind of mantra that he built that early

177
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: string of success. When I say early, I mean the

178
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: national championship years for Clemson, that early modern strings string

179
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: of success for Clemson. He built it on a foundation

180
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: of that. When they played, they played with that chip

181
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: on the shoulder type mentality. They truly played like they

182
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: thought no one in the world thought they could do anything,

183
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: and so they had to face the eleven guys across

184
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: the ball from him, but also those guys up in

185
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: the booth, and everyone at home, and those guys in

186
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: the desert and everyone in between, they're all against us.

187
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if that's reality or not. If you

188
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: can convince a locker room full of people, including your staffers,

189
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: that that is the case, they'll play in a court

190
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: of with that philosophy. He did that well. I was

191
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: down in Columbus, Georgia at the time, but I've reiterated

192
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: it several times here. The problem, if you want to

193
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: call it that, with that kind of approach is it

194
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: always has a finite amount of resource for you, a

195
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: finite amount of fuel, because the more that you climb

196
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: the mountain and the higher and closer to the mountaintop

197
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: you get, then all of a sudden everyone believes in you,

198
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: and it runs out of It runs out of steam

199
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: when you continue to try and convince people that no

200
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: one believes in you, but you're favored by fourteen points

201
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: in a top ten matchup. So anyway, now we've had

202
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: a couple of years, and especially last year, the question

203
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: was can he use that card again this year? I

204
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: think he can. I don't think Clemson is going to

205
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: be a pre season favorite for anyone. I think they

206
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: may be favorites to contend in the ACC. Yes, but

207
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: now we're still a couple of months away from preview

208
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: magazine season, so we'll see. But how many preview magazines

209
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: are going to have that big orange tiger paw on

210
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: the cover? How many preview magazines are going to coordinate

211
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Clemson as anything more than an ACC championship contender. Certainly

212
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: don't think the noise will be as pronounced as we've

213
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: grown accustomed to it being. That's the one advantage to

214
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one going the way it did. Now, if

215
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: you want to know about the stature of this program,

216
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: think about the fact that they won ten games last

217
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: year and we are referring to it as a bonafide dip,

218
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: as a bonafide down season. That's like Alabama Territory. That's

219
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: the level that Nick Saban got to where if you

220
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: won ten games there, yeah, that'd be a down year. Well,

221
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: Dabo and Clemson won ten games last year, down year,

222
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: and everyone including me agrees with that down year. So

223
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: you got the record. And then also people they question

224
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: replacing the staffers probably even more than can you rebound

225
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: from a quote unquote down ten win season. I think

226
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: that Daboswiney is going to be able to authentically and

227
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: genuinely use this if he so chooses, as motivation and

228
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: fuel for his program this year. Personal feel on this.

229
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: I've never been crazy about this tactic, but that's personal philosophy.

230
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Who cares. I don't run the Clemson program. He does.

231
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: He's won two national championships and counting by doing it

232
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: the way he does it. So far be it for

233
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: me to look at a guy with more jewelry on

234
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: his hand than I'll ever have and say, actually, here's

235
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: how you should be doing it. Yeah, I think he's

236
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: going to be able to use it this season at least.

237
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: Here's a very very important question. It's procedural for us,

238
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: but it also has to do with countless thousands of

239
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: you out there. Stuart Donald asked, would you ever consider

240
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: doing a college football doubleheader, say in eleven am game

241
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: in Norman and a seven pm kickoff in Fayetbule. Well, hey,

242
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: if we could get that actual scenario to go down, yeah,

243
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: I love it. Now. What we're talking about here is

244
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,479
Speaker 1: the fabled double dip. Famously, I screwed up our opportunity

245
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: to execute this last year. I was credential to the

246
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl for Wall's credential to the Red River Shootout

247
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: for OU Texas, I was also credential for Alabama at

248
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. I decided to go to the

249
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: airport and fly home, and on the flight home watched

250
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: A and M upset Alabama. That's my bad, So we

251
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: missed a golden opportunity to pull this off last year.

252
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: This question got the wheels turning in Jesse's mind. And

253
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: so before I even got into the office today, yes,

254
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: he does arrive that early, he started scanning the calendar

255
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: and by the time I walked in, he said, not

256
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: only do I have a calendar and we'll look at

257
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: that in a second, I've got the criteria. And so

258
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: here's what we will need to happen. What we'll need

259
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: is we got to have driving distance, proximity or and

260
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: then just fill in the blank and we'll we'll put

261
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: a pause on that. So we need it to be

262
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: relatively close. The venues need to be close to each other.

263
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: We have got to have an early kickoff and a

264
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: late kickoff for obvious reasons. At least one of these

265
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: games has to be a big, big, high priority game

266
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: because We are, after all, going to the biggest events

267
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: in the country, the biggest games in the country, every week.

268
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: At least one of them has to fit that build. Now,

269
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: there is a little bullet point that Jesse chose to add,

270
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: and I am endorsing at the bottom. If you give

271
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: us access to private aviation, we can become a little

272
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: more flexible on the first two bullet points. I know

273
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: our audience. I know some of you have done very

274
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: well in life, and I even happen to know that

275
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: some of you take said forms of private aviation to games.

276
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: It's already going to be in the air. If you've

277
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: got a couple extra seats on board, that'd be great. Anyway,

278
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to beg any more than I have to,

279
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: is my point. With that in mind, here's what potentially

280
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: fictitious producer Jesse put together as five or maybe even

281
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: six possibilities. We're gonna go through these quick Option one.

282
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: We got to go to week five. Think about that

283
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: all the way down. In week five, we got Oklahoma

284
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: State at Baylor, we got West Virginia at Texas. The

285
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: distance between the two campuses or camp I since it's plural,

286
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: about one hundred miles. This is Waco, this is Austin.

287
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: It's an I thirty five special our forty five minutes.

288
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: That is young, innocent, fawnish Jesse who has never driven

289
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: thirty five in his life, much less on a game

290
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: day Saturday. So yeah, an hour forty five minutes. You

291
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: would be on thirty five for an hour forty five

292
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: minutes and then about another hour forty five minutes. But

293
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: could it be pulled off? Yes, it could, So that's

294
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: option one. What about option two? We go a couple

295
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: of weeks later. To me, this is the most realistic.

296
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: We got Penn State at Michigan and we got Wisconsin

297
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: at Michigan State, sixty three miles between. I've done this

298
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: before actually, so I remember the drive. It's a fairly

299
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: workable drive sixty three miles between the campuses there, East

300
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: Lansing and ann Arbor. And one of these games has

301
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: to be the Fox noon game. We're banking on that,

302
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: which means the other game needs to be the ABC

303
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: or EFSPN Saturday Night game of the week. This would

304
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: give us time. I think we can pull this one off.

305
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: So bookmark that one Penn State at Michigan was consin

306
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: at Michigan State. The third one is a couple of

307
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: weeks after that. Now, look, this one is going to

308
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: be really tight. We're probably going to need some private aviation.

309
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: But think about how big the magnitude of the games is.

310
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: Michigan State at Michigan. We are going to assume, or presume,

311
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: as the graphic says, that is the big noon kickoff

312
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: for Fox, as it was last year. We were at

313
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: this game last year. And then we're also going to

314
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: look at Ohio State at Penn State that night, about

315
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: four hundred miles between the campuses. That's going to be

316
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the whiteout game. Jesse is going ahead and he's going

317
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: to call the shot now, and that's also going to

318
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: be a primetime game almost certainly. So we've got the

319
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: windows right. Just need a spare helicopter if you got one.

320
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: Settle for a Sessna if you got one, that would

321
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: be a big one. Though. Go from ann Arbor to

322
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: State College day night, double dip there. What's the next one, Jesse?

323
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: The next one I remember looking at and thinking probably

324
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: private aviation special here too, and it is Alabama at LSU.

325
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Let's just assume this is going to be the CBS

326
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: Night game. Nothing is final, and we work here and

327
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: we don't know. Nothing is final. But let's say, for

328
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: the sake of argument, it is, are we really going

329
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: to get Florida at A and M to be a

330
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: noon game? We don't think so. Like we were talking

331
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: amongst ourselves, if if CBS selects this week as the

332
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: double hitter, it's going to be a three thirty, eight,

333
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: three thirty and then eight o'clock, and that three thirty

334
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: game would almost certainly be Florida at A and M.

335
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: But on the off chance that that's not the case,

336
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: and we get Florida A and M at noon and

337
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: Bama LSU at eight, hey, you're throw in some private aviation.

338
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: It could happen, and last but not least, I think

339
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: we go all the way to rivalry week. No, we don't.

340
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: We go Week twelve Tennessee at South Carolina and Miami

341
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: at Clemson. Miami to me, Miami at Clemson sounded like

342
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: an ESPN seven thirty special, which means, if I can

343
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: get Vall's game Cocks at noon, I think we could

344
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: pull this off. It's about a two to two and

345
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: a half hour drive, especially if you're near a tunnel,

346
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: and as that first game ends, you dead, sprint to

347
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: the vehicle that's waiting for you, you know, kind of

348
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: like a Zeppelin concert, you get out of the arena

349
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: before anyone else even knows what's happened. I think we

350
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: can pull that one off. So those are sixibilities. I

351
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: think at least two of those set up favorably for

352
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: us to pull off in an area that we failed

353
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: so miserably in last year. And again that was all

354
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: on me. There is one more. Oh yeah, so this

355
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: is rivalry week. This is the one that I knew

356
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: I was gonna forget. So LSU is at Texas A

357
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: and M. That's rivalry week, that's college station, and Baylor

358
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: is at Texas. Baylor is the defending Big twelve champion.

359
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: Actually they're not defending anything. You can't take it from them,

360
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: So they just are the Big twelve champion, and Texas

361
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: is what's Texas? So I have no clue what they're

362
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: going to be this year. This could happen, This could happen.

363
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: LSU at A and M, especially juicy every year, Baylor

364
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: at Texas should be distances one hundred and five miles.

365
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: Is this No, it's not okay? That was another one

366
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking about. So this one is doable. It's

367
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: just so far down the road. We don't know what

368
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: the magnitude of the games are. And it's also it's

369
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: rivalry week, so we've also got Iron Bowl this day,

370
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: all the rivalry games. We got Ohio State Michigan that day.

371
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: That's why it's such a crapshoot to look out all

372
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: the way out to week thirteen. But we'll see. So

373
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: those are some of the games that we circled, and

374
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: let's just cross our fingers because a lot has to

375
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: go right for that to happen. They're watching tonight, by

376
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: the way, in Ponca City, Oklahoma. They're watching in Los Angeles, California,

377
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: and Tupelo, Mississippi. Thank you wherever you are listening, watching,

378
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: maybe doing both, hopefully, Thank you so much. Let's talk

379
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: about a little arch Manning. We have not done this.

380
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: I have not talked about arch Manning a whole lot

381
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: on the show lately. So Tonto Goldstein, good guy, Tanto.

382
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: He asked, if you were arch Manning, would you go

383
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: to play for Nick Saban or would you live out

384
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: your father's dream that was taken from him at Ole

385
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: miss and go play for Lane Kiffen. A lot of

386
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: people are asking this question. A lot of people are

387
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: if I was arch this is what I do on

388
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: message boards all over the twenty four to seven network

389
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: and beyond, Well, what would you do? Everyone's got an

390
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: opinion on this. Why should you and I be any different?

391
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: What would you do? Let's say you got offers and

392
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: he does, he can go wherever he wants to, So

393
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: Arch Manning, you could go play for Steve Sarquis and

394
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: that Texas. You could go, like we said, fulfilled legacy

395
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: potential there at Ole miss under Lane Kiffin. You could

396
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: go to Alabama and play for the greatest of all time,

397
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: as he's currently in a dynasty run. At Alabama, you

398
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: go play for Kirby and Georgia. They just won a

399
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: national championship with Let's be delicately kind but honest about

400
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: this far lesser caliber quarterback play than you could potentially offer.

401
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: Where do you go? Well, I think firstly, it depends

402
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: on how much that whole legacy thing matters to you.

403
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: Sometimes it is actually the case that legacy means a

404
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: whole lot, and the stuff that fans look at and

405
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: value is the same stuff the player values. But I've

406
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: also observed, probably more so on the other side of

407
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: the coin, situations where a fan base or just the

408
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: overall college football public assumes that something matters to a kid,

409
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: and then it doesn't and you never really knew it

410
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: because the kid never really came out and said it,

411
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: But people behind the scenes end up finding out, Wow,

412
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: that actually that thing that we thought was going to

413
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: factor in so much turns out it didn't factor in

414
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: at all. How much is legacy going to factor in here,

415
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: because to me, that determines what kind of legitimate shot

416
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: Old Miss has. We think it matters a lot. Therefore,

417
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: we think Old Miss has a very good shot. So

418
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: let's just let's bookmark that, because we can't know until

419
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: the decision is made. Let's say, outside of Old Miss,

420
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: I just stated the opinion about Old Miss. Let's say

421
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: it were to come down to a Georgia, Texas Alabama battle.

422
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: Just for the sake of argument. I'm not saying that

423
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: that's official or anything like that, but just for the

424
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: sake of argument, let's say it's dogs tied and longhorns.

425
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: I am of the opinion that you go wherever the

426
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: questions that you don't have control over have been answered

427
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: most definitively. So my thinking is this, even if you're

428
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: an all World quarterback or an all world position player,

429
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. All this still resonates and still stands. There

430
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: are things you do control, your work ethic and how

431
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: you perform in a classroom, and your attention to detail.

432
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: Those things you control. You control your physical development outside

433
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: of getting injured in a freak nature. You control a

434
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of stuff, but there are also things outside your control.

435
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: Who your offensive coordinator will be, who your quarterbacks coach

436
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: will be, the talent that will surround you. Some of

437
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: that's outside your control. The overall direction of the program,

438
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: the culture of the program, A lot of that's outside

439
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 1: your control. And so if I were arch manning, if

440
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: I were a guy with options, and certainly at the

441
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: quarterback position, if I'm a guy with options, I'm going

442
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: to look around and I'm going to think about an

443
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: offensive not only a philosophy, but an offensive reputation. Where

444
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: have they definitively answered that question, that kind of question

445
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 1: that I may not have control over, Well, they've absolutely

446
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: done it at Alabama. I don't have any doubt about

447
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian in either of those categories at Texas, they

448
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 1: have answered it at both places. I think from a

449
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: culture standpoint, that's where Bama would have the edge over Texas,

450
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think Texas fans would argue that. Now

451
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: here's where it gets interesting. How do you answer that

452
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: with Georgia? Because Georgia just won a national championship, so

453
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: there's certainly no culture question at Georgia. But in terms

454
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: of the offensive related questions that are outside your control, ie,

455
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: how are you going to be utilized? I have no

456
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: doubt that arch Manning would go to Georgia and succeed.

457
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that Georgia, if and when he

458
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: arrived there, would fashion their offense around him. But if

459
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: we're comparing place versus place versus place, a couple of places,

460
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: especially at Bama, they already have done it, whereas at Georgia,

461
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: I think they would do it. They just prove they

462
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: can do it without truly elite quarterback play. That doesn't

463
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: mean they wouldn't change things that they did have an

464
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: elite quarterback. But at Steve Sarkeesian's Texas program, now that's

465
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: also a place where even though you could reasonably say

466
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: to me Josha hadn't proven anything, I'd say, yeah, I know.

467
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: And you could say, well, Sark hadn't done anything as

468
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: a head coach like he did as a coordinator at Alabama. Yeah,

469
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: I know. I just happen to have faith that he would.

470
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, so if I were a quarterback five archs manning,

471
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have the kind of doubt maybe that some

472
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: fans may be the college football public. If you will

473
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 1: does about Texas, I would go wherever they've answered those

474
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: questions most definitively to me, that either is Alabama or

475
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: it's an Alabama Texas thing. That's me. You asked me

476
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: where i'd go, so that's probably where I would go.

477
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: He's not going to go wrong with any of these,

478
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: is the side point. You cannot go wrong when you

479
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: have a sure thing in general, which is why we

480
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: accept Academy Sports and Outdoors as the only partner on

481
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: our program. And let me tell you what's been refreshing.

482
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: What's been refreshing for me in stormchasing season is you

483
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: always look for a friendly parking lot to pull into.

484
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: You don't want to go to randeau gas stations because

485
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: you never know what's happening. There, but twice over the

486
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, I have found myself in the

487
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: friendly confines of an academy sports and outdoors parking lot.

488
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm there checking radarscope, you know, looking for a

489
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: correlation coefficient on a potential super cell. But what else

490
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: I could be doing there? I could be going in

491
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: checking out the many tents, like they were so so

492
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: kind as to send us three of the other day.

493
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: But also I could go in there. I could buy

494
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: a bike. I could buy a new softball bat. I

495
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: could buy new cleats, I could buy new pants. I

496
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: could buy a new helmet for multiple sports if I

497
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: wanted to. I could buy chairs. A couple of you

498
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: the other day emailed me two emails like this in

499
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: the same day. I kid you not. Apparently at work,

500
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: you guys had to go buy either new chairs or

501
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: new tables. And whereas you said previously, I would have

502
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: gone to an establishment that will not be named, you

503
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: told me I could get anything I need, and then

504
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: some at academy when we went to academy, and sure

505
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: enough there's the receipt three hundred dollars worth of chairs

506
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: and tables. So hey, they do have pretty much anything

507
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: you're going to need, and they have our back. That's

508
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: why I am so happy to report back that you

509
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: so frequently have their back. They make the show able

510
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: to be executed and delivered to you in the manner

511
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: in which it is, And by that I really just

512
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: mean free. That is what they make sure you get

513
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: when it comes to this show. Academy Sports and Outdoors

514
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: our partner. We love them. We love that you love them,

515
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: and they love you, and we love you. So we

516
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: all just love each other. It's a love triangle of

517
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: the cleanest variety. That's all I really want you to

518
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: know tonight about you and me an Academy. It's one

519
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: of those very rare situations in life where you can

520
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: say I'm in a love triangle and everything's fine about it.

521
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors. They did not write that ad

522
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: copy for me. I think it's safe to say, but

523
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: I do think that deep down they approve of it.

524
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: So thank you to them, and thank you to you.

525
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue to roll on here. I told

526
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: you that these international shout outs Jesse and Colin were

527
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: not done yet. You know, they're watching us in Valencia, Spain.

528
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Singapore and Dubai, but also Elberton, Georgia, Tyler,

529
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: Texas check and end the night. So thank you wherever

530
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: you are, shout out. It's my favorite part of the show. Now,

531
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: thank you. Let's roll on here. You know, we were

532
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: just talking about Georgia. Why not get this question in?

533
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: Eric asked, what do you want to see out of

534
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart this year to indicate that he's building Georgia

535
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: in the direction of a dynasty of their own. Now,

536
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: that's an important distinction there. Many programs have won titles before,

537
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: very few programs and very few coaches have been built

538
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: into true dynasties, and Alabama's one right now. And we

539
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: want to know here in this question, could Georgia potentially

540
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: become that? Well, you can't prove it this year, but

541
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: you can certainly give an indication that you're heading in

542
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: that direction. What I would look for is how hungry

543
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: a team is after they just eight They just stuffed

544
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: themselves figuratively as much as college football allows you to

545
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: stuff yourself. I was there that night in Indianapolis, and

546
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about that night a little bit

547
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: later in the show. I think it's safe to say,

548
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Georgia folks had their fill in every way imaginable. Georgia

549
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: folks had their fill January tenth. It was in Indianapolis,

550
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: and that program did long suffering, very very loyal folks,

551
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: and so they got theirs finally. And that's the way

552
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: you can afford to think if you are from Elberton, Georgia.

553
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: Let's say you can afford to think that way. You

554
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: certainly can't if you're Kirby Smart. And that's why I

555
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: have it on pretty good authority that this spring has

556
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: probably been one of the roughest that many multi year

557
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: veteran types around that program have experienced. Kirby Smart watched

558
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: this happen at Alabama several years. Kirby knows about walking

559
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: in the staff meetings the day after you win a

560
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: title and being read the Riot Act and understanding that

561
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: that's in the past. Now, tear the rear view mirror

562
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: off this vehicle. We're only looking forward. We always have

563
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: to be on guard anytime you're ultra successful in life,

564
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: college football no different. We talk about it all the

565
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: time on this show. You got to be on guard

566
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: for the concert sequences of success. The first indicator that

567
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: you are suffering from. One of the consequences of success

568
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: is you start seeing signs of complacency. Doesn't really manifest

569
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: itself on one particular metric. There is no one particular

570
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: stat where you say there it is. It's just this

571
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: feeling in week three and week seven and week nine

572
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: where you're watching Georgia. Maybe they're even winning games, but

573
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: you're watching them and you find yourself on your couch saying,

574
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, they they don't seem as hungry. I can't

575
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: quite put my finger on it, but it just doesn't

576
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: quite seem as intense as it was last year. Well,

577
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: that's called complacency. Sometimes it cost you games, sometimes it doesn't.

578
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: In fact of the matter is Georgia is so talented

579
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: their roster will beat you eight or nine saturdays out

580
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: of the year. But we've seen this before with some

581
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: high level teams that failed to become elite in any

582
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: given year because of complacency. That's a consequence of success.

583
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: Hunger factor. How hungry can you stay even after you

584
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: just ate? And then you also have to guard against

585
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: that age old ideology seeping into your culture after you've

586
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: had some success and you built on that successful foundation

587
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: with a foundation of what can I do for Georgia,

588
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you win. And then

589
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: you got guys, maybe some of the same ones who

590
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: were part of that initial success, that all of a

591
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: sudden start thinking what can Georgia do for me? Boy,

592
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: that little change in sentence structure, it sure does change

593
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: a lot about the outcome on the field. For the record,

594
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: I think Kirby's got the program wired the right way.

595
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: I say that because I think a lot of it

596
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: was born out this past year and we're really talking

597
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: about being process oriented instead of result orient and that's

598
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: really what it boils down to. A result oriented program

599
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: would never have been able to get it back so

600
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: quickly after the SEC title game. I don't think they

601
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: would have. I don't think a result oriented program would

602
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: have been as resolved. I guess it's the right word.

603
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk more about that, like I said

604
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show, but I think

605
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: they're wired the right way. But here's the thing about it,

606
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: no one is immune from this stuff. Like we've said,

607
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 1: Saban's the best of all time. They've had teams that

608
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: have suffered from this. Kirby was part of some of them.

609
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: He's observed it from the inside out. Jimbo has fallen

610
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: victim to this. Urban Meyer has fallen victim to this.

611
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: So it's bitten pretty much everyone. No one has got

612
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: the market cornered. Dabbo has been bitten by it. No

613
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: one's got the market cornered on how to completely eliminate this.

614
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: We're about to see what Kirby Smart's best effort against

615
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: it is. We have not seen him reach the mountaintop

616
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: and then perform in the follow up year. We haven't

617
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: seen that yet, so we get to see it now.

618
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: But hunger factor, How hungry does Georgia football seem to

619
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: be in twenty twenty two. It's really hard. It is

620
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 1: hard to do. Next up, boy, I hope I have

621
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: the right end to this question. William asked what would

622
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: have to happen for this upcoming season to top the

623
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: Renaissance season. The Renaissance season was last year. A lot

624
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: of you were new. We have a huge chunk of

625
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: our audience that's new. We started calling last year the

626
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: Renaissance season in about July because we thought a lot

627
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: of factors were coming together confluence dare I say, confluence

628
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: of events? And it happened. A lot of it had

629
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: to do with full stadiums. Again for the first time

630
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: in a long time, the super Senior rule made a

631
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: lot of upsets a much more real possibility. We read

632
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: the stats last week. We had all kind of record

633
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: setting amounts of upsets, top ten teams falling, etc. What

634
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: would have to happen for us to top that, Well,

635
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: you'd have to have a perfect storm. But I'll tell

636
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: you what you really have to have. It come down

637
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: to number one. You have to have energy. I don't

638
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: think we have that in short supply. So normally, if

639
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: you're leading on passion and atmosphere and energy, college football

640
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: fan bases are going to deliver that. So we have

641
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: that pretty much every year. How many vulnerable spots do

642
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: we find top ten teams in This does fluctuate pretty wildly.

643
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: You can have top ten teams on the road, you

644
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: can have them face other ranked teams. But you and

645
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: I know the difference between ranked versus ranked and a

646
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: truly vulnerable spot like that's one of the great things

647
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: about a college football season. When you wake up on

648
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: one of those saturdays, you don't have to check a graphic.

649
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: All due respect, you don't have to check a graphic

650
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: that twenty four to seven puts out. You don't have

651
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: to watch College Game Day where they put the Saturday

652
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: lineup up and you see ranked versus rank se how

653
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: many teams or on the national marquee. You don't have

654
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: to have anyone tell you if it's a big Saturday,

655
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,239
Speaker 1: because there's this unmistakable feeling in your gut when you

656
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: wake up on one of those days where you really

657
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: are primed for in anything could happen sort of afternoon,

658
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: your gut tells you, like you know when someone's really

659
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 1: in a vulnerable position, and you know when it's mainly

660
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: just being dressed up that way to hopefully suck you

661
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: into watching. Even though we all know good and well

662
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 1: who's going to be up two or three scores by

663
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: the time the fourth quarter rolls around with very few exceptions.

664
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: How many of those Saturdays do we get? That's another

665
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: important factor. And do the dogs bite? This past year

666
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: we had a lot of top ten vulnerability, but then

667
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: the dogs did their part. Underdogs bit and it didn't

668
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: hurt that a lot of those underdogs were at home

669
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: Iowa over Penn State. Iowa was at home Texas A

670
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: and m over Obama Texas A and m was at home.

671
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: Baylor over Oklahoma. Baylor was at home. A lot of

672
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: these big upsets happened, as they usually do when the

673
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: underdog was at home. If you can have all that

674
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: come together, and we also maintain proper perspective, and that

675
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: is the regular season means everything. If you can have

676
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: those factors all gel into this perfect product, that's how

677
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: you could top the Renaissance season. But I'll be honest

678
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: with you, William, I wouldn't look to top it. I

679
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: just look to get in the ballpark. If you're even

680
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: a the ballpark. Of what we all experienced this past year,

681
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two is gonna be a very good year,

682
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: and I want to put it on your radar. Its

683
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: never too early. It's about to be April. We need

684
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: to start thinking about what we're gonna call the twenty

685
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: twenty two tour. Renaissance Tour was very good for us.

686
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two tour. It's gonna be good either way.

687
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: What are we gonna call it? Just think on it.

688
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: We don't have to have an answer tonight. Just think

689
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: on it. Next up, now, this is a fun question.

690
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: You've gotta be careful with it, but it's a fun question.

691
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: Jason asked, just like it was back in the Big Twelve.

692
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: Will Texas be the top dog in the state when

693
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: they joined the SEC? Or do you think Texas A

694
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: and M has such a big head start that they

695
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: will continue to dominate the state. Or what about Baylor.

696
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: Baylor is its own culture, Baylor has its own formula

697
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: to win and compete that I think is different than

698
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: the A and M formula or the Texas formula. I

699
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: think this is a Texas and Texas A and M question,

700
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: and that's always a you see combination. So you remember

701
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: what was it, Jesse about two weeks ago when we

702
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: did that segment of college football that guys, and it

703
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: was just the age old stereotypes like the Mount Rushmore

704
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: of college football, certain types of fans, and one of

705
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: the types was blank. And it's not close. There are

706
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of blank and it's not close,

707
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: guys in the comment section of this video, because when

708
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: you ask, when both of these schools are in the SEC,

709
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: which program is going to run the state of Texas

710
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: Texas and it's not close A and M and it's

711
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,959
Speaker 1: not close. Here's my thought on this. I don't think

712
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: it's possible any longer for there to be this huge

713
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: gap between the programs. I look at it now, and

714
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: since you mentioned the word where the words head start,

715
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: I look at where Texas A and M is now

716
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: versus where they were once upon a time. Where Texas

717
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: A and M was once upon a time is in

718
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: a situation where a lot of their fate felt like

719
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: it was outside of their control. You can go all

720
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: the way back to the Southwest Conference days, or you

721
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: can go to the Big Twelve Conference days, but there

722
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: was a feeling right or wrong. There was a feeling

723
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: amongst Aggie faithful that we control what we control, but

724
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: ultimately there's a lot that goes on in Austin and

725
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: the League office and everything in between that affects us

726
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: that's outside our control. And you always felt like it

727
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: was you competing against some unseeable force out there that

728
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: was working against you. But now that doesn't exist. I

729
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: don't care if and when Texas gets to the sec

730
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist. If Texas does run it up on you,

731
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: if Texas is distancing themselves from you, if they're pulling

732
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: ahead of you, it's called Texas is out performing you,

733
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: which could happen. I don't foresee it happening, but it

734
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: could happen. I think what's going to happen is this

735
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: is going to turn into again one of the top

736
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: and premier rivalries college football. I think it's going to

737
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: arrive at the main event table actually of the rivalry,

738
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: at least aspect to college football, because they are They're

739
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: both going to be in the tough at well, I

740
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: don't know what the division structure is going to be like,

741
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: they're going to both be in the premier conference in America.

742
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: It's the NIL era, which is added like a whole

743
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: new level to this. They're both I think programs, especially

744
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: A ANDM now at the highest profile that we've seen

745
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: them in quite a while. It's just everything you need

746
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: for a great rivalry. But Texas A and M, there

747
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: is no way, like I know a lot of you

748
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: are going to say, oh, when Texas gets to the SEC,

749
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: now it's game over for A and M. No, it's crazy. No,

750
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: it's not Texas A and M football in twenty twenty

751
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: two and beyond. They're not taking a back seat to

752
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: anyone unless it's of their own doing. Now, Texas A

753
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: and M could screw over Texas. A and M. But

754
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: there's no external force at work, no longer at the

755
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: league office level or whatnot. There's not that there is

756
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: no favoritism for Texas in the SEC. I can assure

757
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: you that there's also nothing that you need to succeed

758
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: at the highest level that Texas has that A and

759
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: M doesn't. What do they have? I know what I'm

760
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 1: going to hear is, oh, Texas has limitless pocket books.

761
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: So does A and M. You know. And really, even

762
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: if we were to start talking about this, if we

763
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: were to start talking financial semantics, both are at such

764
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: a level that it's like a couple of billionaires arguing

765
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: in a grocery store. It doesn't matter both of you

766
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: can buy the entire store. It doesn't matter which one

767
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: has the higher net worth at that point. So there

768
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: is not an edge there. There will not be a

769
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: discernible edge in recruiting, cause one will not let the

770
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: other have that. Both cultures are great, both programs are great.

771
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: They're both going to presumably be performing at a high

772
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: level within the context of this question. I don't think

773
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: either one of them is going to dominate the state

774
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: of Texas. If both both are performing at relatively high

775
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: levels to their capability. They're both going to be good.

776
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: So I don't think either one of them is going

777
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: to dominate the state of Texas. I know what the

778
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: comment section is going to look like on this individual

779
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: video when we cut it for YouTube. You won't convince

780
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: me that one of these is just going to dominate

781
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: the other unless the other's shortcomings and shortcomings alone trigger it.

782
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 1: There is no structural advantage that disproportionately tilts to one

783
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: over the other. I should have said that like five

784
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 1: minutes ago. That is my feel on that last question here,

785
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: which is kind of a story time question that we

786
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: have not had in quite a while. God I lash

787
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: of my eye. Ambassador Dogg said, I still got to

788
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: know if you have any cool stories from the twenty

789
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty two National Championship game. Well, I was in an

790
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: uber today and I was talking to my driver and

791
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: traffic was gridlocked, and he said, you know, we need

792
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: a new transit system in this city. And that was

793
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: how I found out we had passenger rail in Nashville,

794
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: which I didn't know until today. Secondly, we started talking

795
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: about the skywalk system that they have in cities like Indianapolis,

796
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: where this game was played, so I had fun reminiscent

797
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: about that. I'm not going to tell you a story

798
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: about the skywalk, but I am going to tell you

799
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: a story about how this game really started in December

800
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: when they played in the SEC Championship game. I needed

801
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: to watch the National title game to fully appreciate it.

802
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: But Georgia started winning the National Championship game the night

803
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: of the SEC Championship game. I remember, if we go

804
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: back to Atlanta, there was a lot of celebration for Alabama,

805
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: but I remember being outside Georgia's locker room. I remember

806
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: being just around the team after the game, and it

807
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: just felt nothing like you would think it would feel.

808
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: It was it was almost as if the entire organization

809
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: dusted itself off that night in the building and said,

810
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to work. Champions mentality, you know,

811
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: that's kind of a warrior's mentality. It is so hard

812
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: to have that as a competitor, because there's so much

813
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: insecurity in the world, and there's so much hurt, pride

814
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: and hurt feelings in the world that when you get

815
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: beat soundly as a favorite in the year, that everyone's

816
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: saying is your year, and it's against whether they want

817
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: to admit it or not, their biggest current rival in

818
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: this sport, because that was the one dragon they had

819
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: yet to slay. And you get right back up and

820
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: you get right back to work, if anything, with more resolve,

821
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: which was the word of the show earlier than you

822
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: had before. That's where they started to win that national

823
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: championship game. Now you didn't realize it until you had

824
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: the full picture laid out for you. But that takes

825
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: me now to January tenth, and I remember watching Georgia.

826
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: I was at the semi final game in Miami. Watched

827
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: them come in there. Man, they almost treated that Michigan

828
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: game like a walk through for the national title game,

829
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: which is what basically Michigan got served up as good

830
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: year for the Wolverines. But it was a very very

831
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: tilted affair, to say the least, down in Miami. And

832
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: when Georgia, Georgia got to Indianapolis, they carried themselves like

833
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: a team that had already won a couple of them.

834
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: I've been around both kinds. I've been around Bama a

835
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: lot because they're always in that setting. I've been around

836
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: Georgia teams in these big settings. This Georgia team carried

837
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: itself different than most Georgia teams do. So the game

838
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: played out like it did, and I don't think for

839
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: an outsider you can fully appreciate the level of pressure

840
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: that was on this program. Yet they performed relatively unaffected

841
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: by the pressure. They were aware of it, though. So

842
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: then the game ends and everyone goes to celebrates. However

843
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: you saw fit. There's a lot of it going on,

844
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: and Danny Knell and I did a lot of postgame

845
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: stuff for CBS in the stadium, So stadium's emptied out

846
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: and Theirsch confetti all over the place and people are

847
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: boxing it up, which I should have done because that

848
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: stuff is selling like gold bars on eBay right now.

849
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: But after we got done with our live hits for CBS,

850
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: Kirby was back out on the field. Stetson Bennett was

851
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: back out on the field. They were doing I think

852
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: probably some Sports Center hits, but I watched Stetson who

853
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: was doing a separate hit from Kirby, but they were

854
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: both you know, IFBN they're waiting for the live shot

855
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: to begin, so they both like kind of have a

856
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: second look at each other. And I really remember thinking

857
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: this right here is a really golden moment because you

858
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: had to remember what the talk could been. Everybody forgets this.

859
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: It gets lost to history. When the history books are

860
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: written about the twenty twenty one college football season, you'll

861
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: know that Georgia, when undefeated regular season, had a little

862
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: hiccup in Atlanta, they atoned for it big time in

863
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: the National title game. You can say that in one breath.

864
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: Do you remember how much breath was wasted between the

865
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: SEC Title Game and the National Title Game by folks

866
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: asking about whether JT. Daniels needs to start, By the way,

867
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: which programs he playing for right now still hadn't landed anywhere.

868
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: And yet Kirby Smart was resolute the entire time. They

869
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: never flinched. They never so much as flinched on Stetson Bennett.

870
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: He was their guy. He was his guy the whole time.

871
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: You can get a million different stories about why that was,

872
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: but Kirby Smart never blinked. I got full of respect

873
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: for someone who is totally resolved in their decision making,

874
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: because that's what a leader has to be. The age

875
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: old adage. If you're listening to the folks in the stands,

876
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: you will soon be sitting with the folks in the stands, Well,

877
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: there they were. They were on the field. There confetti

878
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: all over the place. It's like snow on the ground.

879
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: You got to clear out a spot if you're gonna

880
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: kick an extra point in the snow. Got to clear

881
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: out a spot in the confetti if you're gonna stand

882
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: there to do the live hip. And they're just next

883
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: to each other, and I remember thinking to myself because

884
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: you could see the relief on their faces and they're

885
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: talking to each other. Kirby's got a golf card he's

886
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: riding around on they're talking to each other. But I

887
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: remember thinking, you know, no one's gonna see this particular scene.

888
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: But man, I hope people appreciate the resolve it takes

889
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: to make the decision. Staff makes it, but ultimately you're

890
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: making it as the head man, and you're making all

891
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: these millions of dollars, but it really all boils down

892
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: to a few decisions. You get all the talent. Okay,

893
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: once the talent's there and the staff's there, and the

894
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: schedule's made and the equipment arrives and you tee it up,

895
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: it really comes down to a few major decisions, and

896
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: that's ultimately what you get paid the big bucks for

897
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: he made one, and he's stuck to it and they

898
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: never wavered. And he told you he looked you dead

899
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: in the eye the whole year, and he said, well,

900
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm playing him because he gives us the best chance

901
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: to win. And then after they lost the game, he

902
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: still had the audacity to look at you and tell you, actually,

903
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: he still gives us the best chance to win. Should

904
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: have told you everything you needed to know the first

905
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: time he said it, really told you everything you needed

906
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: to know when he said it, even after they lost.

907
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: So I remember that moment. I remember being on the

908
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: field long after the building's emptied and just looking at

909
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: those two there. You know, the noise has subsided and

910
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: they're doing some postgame hits, but he just standing and

911
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: that kind of smiles at him, nods at him. Kirby

912
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: does that was this guy? And now, look, hey, most

913
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: of the time that's the end of the story. But

914
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: now we get to look ahead to twenty twenty two

915
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: and Stet's and Bennett still there, and wouldn't you know it.

916
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: One of the questions that didn't quite make here tonight

917
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: is all right, look, I know he won a title,

918
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: but what do we make of the quarterback competition this

919
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,799
