41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 5: the last too much rain, last four days. We probably

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: got one more day of it and then that should

43
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: be it. But other than that, I feel good. I

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 5: don't like cold weather.

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: I don't like the rain, but the whole we gotta

00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: deal with it.

47
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,200

00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,919

Speaker 6: it's normal, you know, weather this time of the year,

52
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 6: especially man here on the East coast chain. Where it's

53
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 6: new year, twenty twenty six.

54
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:31,600

Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, be happy about what you got, you

59
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 4: know what I mean. We did make it to another year.

60
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: That's a wonderful thing. We're now in twenty twenty six, fellas.

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: The college football Playoff is.

62
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: Underway, like for real, for real underway.

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: And I gotta say, this is why the college football

64
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: Playoff is so dope, because back in our day, they

65
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: would have just crowned the team you're you know, our

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: last year they had a championship game air quotes, but

67
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: for the most part, they would just crown, you know,

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: a champ off of what the ap pole was and whatever,

69
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 4: and here's your national champ this, that and the other.

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: But now you gotta play. You gotta play to get there.

71
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: And well, there were teams out there that they they

72
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 4: weren't ready for the work that was coming their way.

73
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: One of the games, in particular, I thought it would

74
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: be a.

75
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: Competitive game for Indiana and Alabama and the Rose Bowl.

76
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: It was not.

77
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: And Kirksei Nettie is continuing to show whatever it is

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: the bravado that he brings to the table. I don't

79
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: know how to honestly characterize it. It's it's it's it's

80
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Nick Saban, Like you played for saban uh plex, so

81
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: you may have better perspective on it. But do got Indiana?

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: They on one right now, and they put one on Alabama.

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: What would y'alls take on the Alabama Indiana game? And

84
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: does this look like the clear favorite to win it?

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: Now? Man?

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: For me, I love the state of college football. And

87
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 5: I say that because for years and years and years

88
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 5: and years, it was the who's who of college football.

89
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 5: It was the Alabama's, it was the Georgia's, it was

90
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 5: the LSU's, Ohio States, the Michigan's, And you probably can

91
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 5: throw another team in there, maybe Florida.

92
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: But to see.

93
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 5: Indiana quite possibly be the best team to see an

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 5: Oregon quite possibly be the best team Miami.

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: You know, Miami was good before.

96
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 5: I got the college football or I got to college

97
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: football when I was in college with Miami, I wouldn't

98
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 5: say it has consistently been a good program, but that

99
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: they've had some down years. But the way Miami is

100
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: playing like they haven't been like in Alabama where consistently

101
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: they're gonna win, but when they l they win big,

102
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 5: and so I just like, it's not the expected teams.

103
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 5: And I was me personally, I wanted Alabama to win.

104
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 5: I was rooting for Alabama. I was so the waighted.

105
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

106
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 5: It's probably because I know quite a few kids on

107
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 5: a roster. You know, they have quite a few Southern

108
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: California kids, and I know the kids personally very well,

109
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 5: and that's probably the biggest reason. But to see what

110
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: I mean, bro, Indiana looked unbeatable.

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: Man.

112
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 5: They couldn't run the ball. They ran the ball, and

113
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 5: will and Mendoza, he didn't even have to throw the

114
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 5: ball much.

115
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: They playing cover zero.

116
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 5: They're trying to stop the run, and they forced Alabama

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: into playing cover zero.

118
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: And every time they played.

119
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: Cover zero, stepped in there, they got them.

120
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 5: And so for me, Indiana nil, to me has allowed

121
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: these teams that were competitive with the powerhouses to be competitive.

122
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 5: And that's why I love it, because we all gonna

123
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 5: pay our roster in Indiana. How many four star recruits

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 5: they have on their team? I believe none, zero. I

125
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 5: believe none, And so a Signetti he a Kaki dude,

126
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 5: he kaki.

127
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: People call it kaki.

128
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: He Kaki is here, but you can be Kaki when

129
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 5: you win in the way he went in with what

130
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 5: he has because Hekki. I don't care nobody that dude said.

131
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 5: I win everywhere I go, look me up.

132
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: Google me.

133
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 4: Like about the Alabama game, he said, you would know

134
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 4: better about the mystique Alabama.

135
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: My guys know what they see on the film.

136
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: They basically he.

137
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 5: Straight to them, ain't nothing and so yeah, man, I

138
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 5: like the Texas tech they wouldn't normally be in. Nil

139
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 5: has even the plan field and I love him.

140
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

141
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 6: Man, it's taking everything away from the game, man, I

142
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 6: said a couple of weeks ago. Man, I know you

143
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 6: guys heard me say this. I said that. Listen. I

144
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 6: want to see what Indiana's capable of because they're a

145
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 6: very dangerous team, and this Kurt Segna and his staff, man,

146
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 6: they are very dangerous. I you're going to give them

147
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 6: an extra week to game playing against you. Man, the

148
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 6: game plan that he drew up against Alabama, man offensively

149
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 6: and defensively. I can see some of the some of

150
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 6: the schemes that he's running that will be nick saving this.

151
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 6: He's bringing the bridge from the from the strong side,

152
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 6: but it's actually com up from the weak side. The

153
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 6: blitz is never coming where you think it's coming from.

154
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 6: He's bringing nickel corners off of the slot from the

155
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 6: short side of the field. So the quarterback doesn't have

156
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 6: a lot of time to make a decisions. And it's

157
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 6: just seems that to me, man him coaching this football

158
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 6: team and say, look, if you don't want to be here,

159
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 6: Indiana by but everybody has bought into the coacher and

160
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 6: what they're doing. If you look at Alabama, man, I

161
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 6: think there's two stats in this football game. Man, that

162
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 6: was really stuck out to me. We're talking about twenty

163
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 6: three yards rushing over as a team, Ty Simpson, your

164
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 6: quarterback was a leading Russia with seventeen yards. And if

165
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 6: you're Alabama, I think Alabama and Dobo they gave up

166
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 6: in the third quarter. They dropped football all the way

167
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 6: down the field sixty five yards. They get the fourth down,

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 6: the score is twenty four to zero with five minutes

169
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 6: up in the game, and they kicked the field goal knowing.

170
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: That you need to touch down.

171
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 6: And he kicked the field goal because I think in

172
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 6: the back of his mind he said, man, let me

173
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 6: go ahead and put some points on the scoreboard just

174
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 6: in case we don't score a touchdown. And I said

175
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 6: to myself right then that Alabama had basically just threw

176
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 6: on the tower and they was beat man. But I'm

177
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 6: talking about man, the way that they played football over there.

178
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just everybody just does their job, the

179
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 6: details of everything that they do. They can run the football,

180
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 6: Alabama couldn't else. Defensively. Indiana's ranking what top five in

181
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 6: every defensive every defensive category. So Alabama got beat man.

182
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 6: It wasn't even about the game. It was about how

183
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 6: they got beat You can't remember an Alabama football team

184
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 6: getting beat like this and anywhere, but especially not on

185
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 6: this stage at the Rolls Bowl.

186
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: There's a bad look for him and the team.

187
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 6: And I just said to myself, I was like I

188
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 6: thought it was going to be I thought Indiana was

189
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 6: gonna win the game, but not in this fashion. To

190
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 6: see Alabama go out the way that they did, and

191
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 6: everybody saying that Alabama didn't deserve to be in the

192
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 6: because they were a three lost team.

193
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: They had nothing to do with it.

194
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 6: I think if anybody runs into India out of the

195
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 6: way that they're playing football right now. It could be

196
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 6: the same result that they had against Alabama last week,

197
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 6: against anybody.

198
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: All right, well, let's talk about it. Then Oregon beat

199
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 4: the bark off of Texas Tech. And I ain't gonna

200
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: say Old Miss had the toughest, the toughest matchup, I

201
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: would say outside of I mean more of a fair matchup.

202
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 4: Well maybe not even fair because you don't have your

203
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: head coach, but they had the tallest task in terms of,

204
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 4: you know, the seed coming in to win. And then

205
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: you have against Georgia by the way, they knocked Georgia off,

206
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: and then you had Miami, as you mentioned earlier, TJ.

207
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: And I kind of feel like that game was maybe

208
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe it's a little closer than or

209
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 4: maybe not as close as what I want to say,

210
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: as the score would indicate twenty four to fourteen was

211
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: the final.

212
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: But it looked like Miami was just better. They were

213
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: hitting hard.

214
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: You know, It's like they knocked the life out of

215
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: out of Ohio State. Ohio State looked pedestrian to me.

216
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: It didn't look like the Ohio state that dominates the

217
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: Big Ten. It looked like a team that didn't know

218
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: what they had going on. So with that being said,

219
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: like the rest of it, it's like, Okay, Ohio State

220
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: should have been the favorite, they end up losing, They're gone.

221
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: Oregon did what they were supposed to do, but coming

222
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 4: into the game, they were a higher you know, they

223
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 4: weren't ranked as hig.

224
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: As Texas Tech.

225
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 4: But I think that was the most impressive outside of Indiana.

226
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: That was the most impressive showing. And Dan Lanning is

227
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: much like a Kurt Signetti. He's one of them type coaches,

228
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 4: like he just don't care. He got it out on

229
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: care meter and he carries it on high all the time.

230
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: Looking at the teams right now, and I know we

231
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 4: up on a break. But looking at the teams where

232
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: we're at right now, who's left who uc being the

233
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: favorite to win this thing?

234
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a great question.

235
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: Because both of my favorites are out.

236
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 4: I had Ohio State losing to Georgia, so both my

237
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 4: teams are out, so I you know, it is what

238
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: it is. We got you Am versus Ole miss that's

239
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 4: gonna be a nice throttle and Oregon versus Indiana.

240
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: It's the rematch.

241
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: So it's kind of like much like last year when

242
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 4: Oregon took on Ohio.

243
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: State, beat Ohio State.

244
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: Ohio State gets them in the playoffs and ends up

245
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: winning it all.

246
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: But these are two very, very.

247
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 4: Marquee matchups, and I think that they're gonna be fun

248
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 4: games to watch. Who y'all, who y'all got advance and

249
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: who you think is gonna win?

250
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 5: When you when you when you look at it levard Miami,

251
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 5: when you have those type of bookends on the defensive line,

252
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 5: they they made Ohio State look like their offensive line

253
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 5: were below average.

254
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 4: Shots out to Jason Taylor too, by the way, Yeah,

255
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 4: I mean he's doing a hell of a job. It

256
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: was quiet now people talking about it, but it was

257
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 4: quiet for a little bit.

258
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 5: Hey man, them dudes are getting after the quarterback and

259
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 5: they don't have to blitz and so just off that

260
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 5: literally Miami pressure Julian saying, and they kept a pressure

261
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 5: off Connor.

262
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: And so for me, that that's easy. Miami should win

263
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: that game.

264
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 5: Old Miss really wants to throw the ball and they

265
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 5: do want to run it with Keiwan Lacy. But I

266
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 5: just feel like the way Miami is playing down the

267
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 5: heater right now, they should win this game in.

268
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: Front is crazy too.

269
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: Bruh.

270
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that Oami's offensive front crazy.

271
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 5: Now working Indiana. That that to me is a quaint flip. Obviously,

272
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 5: played early in the season, it was a close game.

273
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 5: I believe Indiana won by ten, but it was a

274
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 5: really really close game. Both teams will make adjustments.

275
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: They went into ug and beat by the way consideration.

276
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 5: I believe it's it's hard to be the really good

277
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 5: team twice in one season. I do it's hard. It's hard,

278
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 5: especially with a good coaching staff. If they can make

279
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: adjustments Atvan Stewart will probably come back from Oregon. I

280
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 5: don't even know if they need him, but he is

281
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: a dynamic playmaker. So I'll take Miami in the University

282
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 5: of Oregon and play in the National Championship. Well just hey,

283
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 5: this going back to what you said. Defensively, you talking

284
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 5: about Ruby Bain junior man. These book kends. But I

285
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 5: said the other way around. I'm looking at this Miami

286
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: defensive saying to myself, I would rather play against a

287
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 5: gunner startling than a turn of dad champlains.

288
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 6: I said this a couple of weeks ago. I said,

289
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 6: how old missus dangerous they got? Nobody knows how good

290
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 6: this kid is. You know what, and he's the backup.

291
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 6: Austin Simmons get ready jumping to the Party's like, man,

292
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna play here anytime soon. But what I'm getting,

293
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 6: what I'm trying to say is defensively, you have the

294
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 6: these great rush ends for Miami, but now you're facing

295
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 6: a mobile quarterback and twenty their channelers. Now those book

296
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 6: ends aren't getting up the field getting pressure. So now

297
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 6: you're not trying to get to the quarterback. You're trying

298
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 6: to contain and keep this young man in the pocket.

299
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 6: And so you don't want him running around making plays

300
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 6: because you know what that does to the defense, tires

301
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 6: them out. Now they don't have that same rush they

302
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 6: don't want they're not turning the corner with the same

303
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 6: speed trying to get to the quarterback because now this

304
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 6: scheme has changed all of because you have seen this

305
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 6: man run across the.

306
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: Field back and forth and make plays with his legs.

307
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 6: So defensively, you're gonna have to change up something up

308
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 6: front because Miami wants to get to the quarterback and

309
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 6: play man to man defense. I don't think they're gonna

310
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 6: be able to do that against this old miss Office.

311
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 6: Maybe because of the fact that this young man can

312
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 6: get out of the pocket and make plays with his legs.

313
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna take Old Miss to get to the

314
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 6: National championship, getting just because of that factor, only because

315
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 6: if they can't get to the quarterback, we don't know.

316
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: Who these guys are in the back end.

317
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 6: And if these guys are gonna we're gonna play man

318
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 6: and man coverage is one. So I think they got

319
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 6: a good enough running game with Lacy that they can,

320
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 6: you know, control the game, control the clock. But I

321
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 6: think at the end of the day, offensively, Old Miss

322
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 6: has a better offense than what than what the Miami

323
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 6: Hurricanes do.

324
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take Old Miss.

325
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 6: And going back to that Week seven matchup when the

326
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 6: Indiana went into Oregon and beat them by ten points. TJ, you' right,

327
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 6: it's hard to beat somebody two times in a row.

328
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 7: But if I'm putting both of these coaches on a scale,

329
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 7: and you gonna ask me, what's one of these coaches

330
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 7: between Landlan and Signetti make the better adjustments, who are

331
00:16:58,920 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 7: you gonna.

332
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: Who you're gonna pick? I'm going with sicking that in

333
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: his staff because.

334
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 6: The debate, it is a debate based off of what

335
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 6: I've been seeing from this Indiana coach football team and

336
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 6: the details of everything that they do.

337
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: Man's they rock sold all the way across the board.

338
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: I don't see a pro team. Yeah, this moves like

339
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: a pro team.

340
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.

341
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 6: I haven't seen any weaknesses on this team defensively, CORNERM

342
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 6: linebacker up front.

343
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: And R D lineman is out.

344
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: Yes he got hurt. Given a high five.

345
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 6: High five your last day. So I'm going with Indiana.

346
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 6: I just think that too much when it comes down

347
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 6: to making the right plays at the right time. These

348
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 6: kids are well taught, They know where they need to be,

349
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 6: they know what they need to do. Everybody does their

350
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 6: job to the best of their ability. It doesn't seem

351
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 6: like nobody on this team has an ego. All these

352
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 6: guys do is care about winning. So at the end

353
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: of the day, I'm going miss and Indiana playing for

354
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 6: the national championship.

355
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: Whole miss in Indiana. I'll say this. The quarterback for

356
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 4: Oregon is he's he's you know, it's a special dude. Man,

357
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 4: he might be you know, outside of Mendoza. Uh, these

358
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 4: are the two in my estimation. I mean, I don't know,

359
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 4: maybe the QB for Miami. Maybe I won't say that,

360
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 4: I won't throw that out there, but I was.

361
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 6: Nobody talking about chapelis what he's been able to do?

362
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: What about this guy?

363
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 6: He won a national championship at Farris State at a

364
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 6: defension to college. Yes, yes, why is he not one

365
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 6: of the top quarterbacks in his top four and.

366
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: That's why he is a baller, But that would be why.

367
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: I just I just think that looking at these two matchups,

368
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 4: and I know we got break, we won't break, But

369
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 4: I feel like have you you know, when you've seen

370
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: teams win it, you're like, ad, that's a team of destiny,

371
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 4: right like I was one of them years it's a

372
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 4: team of destiny. Name one of these four teams that

373
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 4: doesn't appear to be a team of destiny season for them.

374
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: If you look at the Miami.

375
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: The Hurricanes, the fact that they were able to win

376
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: in the fashion that they did against Ohio State says

377
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: to me that it's stamped.

378
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: It's like a team of destiny.

379
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: Ole miss being in the matchup that they're in and

380
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 4: getting out of the game against Georgia the way that

381
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 4: they did, losing their head coach. People all but wrote

382
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 4: them off. If Lane Kiffin isn't there, maybe they're not

383
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: going to be the same that a die coaching will

384
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 4: come into play. They seem like they stamped the team

385
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 4: of destiny. You know, check that box off Oregon. They

386
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: weren't able to get it done last year. And look,

387
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 4: I'm a Penn Stater, so it ain't a given that

388
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 4: you make it back. Notre Dame is the team that

389
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 4: beat us didn't get into the playoffs, which I.

390
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: Know I want to touch on that at some point.

391
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 4: By the way, Notre Dame doesn't make it back in

392
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: neither does Penn State.

393
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: But Oregon did. And Oregon had.

394
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 4: That heartbreaker against Ohio State, and it's like, okay, they

395
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 4: have been on a tear. I think they have been

396
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 4: outside of Indiana, the most dominant team in the playoff

397
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: and then you got Iu Bruh. Like it is the

398
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: story of Kurt Signetti. That man said in his interview

399
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 4: at the end.

400
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 3: What is this?

401
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 4: He said, it's a movie. He said, Indiana Football, It's

402
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 4: a movie.

403
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: They asked that.

404
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 4: Man, who's gonna play the character of him? He said,

405
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 4: I don't know, but it'd be a whole bunch of characters.

406
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 4: You gotta pull together because we got a whole bunch

407
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 4: of them on this team. He talks sounds like and

408
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: carries himself like, this is a team of destiny. It

409
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 4: makes these matchups amazing. Landing versus Signetti is crazy. That's

410
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 4: a crazy matchup to me, and obviously Christovall, who was

411
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 4: an Oregon coach having his opportunity to to be one

412
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 4: game away from the Natty. I think the ad has

413
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 4: to go to Indiana. I think the edge has to

414
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: go to Indiana for the simple fact that it's not

415
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: a home game, it's a it's an away game, it's

416
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: a neutral site. I think it has to go to

417
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 4: Indiana as the advantage, and just the offensive front and

418
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 4: the defensive front of Miami. While this Old Miss team

419
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 4: is so quick and so fast, and and they move

420
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: the ball around, and they do have a multifaceted quarterback.

421
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 4: It makes this to be out to be probably the

422
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 4: more I don't know, I don't maybe it's a more

423
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 4: competitive game, but well, I don't know. I'm excited to

424
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 4: see him play, but I think I get the clear

425
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 4: advantage to to Miami in this game. So we'll see

426
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 4: how it all plays out. Well, we'll stay tuned on that.

427
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, you know, we gotta take a break.

428
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: And when we when we get back from the break, yeah,

429
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 4: we're gonna bring up Notre Dame and and my compadre

430
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. They had

431
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 4: a little exchange on on social media. You want to

432
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 4: hear about it, make sure you stay tuned. And this

433
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: is up on games T J. Hitchman's Out of as

434
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 4: Plexico Burst. I'm var Arrington. We'll be right back. Hey guys.

435
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: A hotly debated topic in the Hot Sauce world is

436
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: who's this year's MVP. And if you know about Hot Sauce,

437
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 4: then you know I'm not talking about players. I'm talking

438
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 4: about poores.

439
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: That's right. The most valuable poor. I know who mine is.

440
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 4: My most valuable poor is the original Louisia and the

441
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 4: Hot Sauce.

442
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: And here's why it's my MVP.

443
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: This sauce has shown me what it's really made of,

444
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: three hard hitting ingredients peppers, vinegar, and salt, super dope,

445
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 4: super fine and you know what, it makes the perfect

446
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 4: balance of heat and flavor. And now that's MVP material.

447
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: What makes my most valuable poor different from any.

448
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: Old poor is in the name, the value.

449
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 4: Other hot sauces are so second stream name right, But

450
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: the original Louisiana Hot Sauce name, well, that makes game

451
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: day come to life.

452
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: It'll dress up your favorite eats with.

453
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 4: Ease drizzled on nachos, Burger's, pizzas, gumbo, you name it.

454
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 4: The taste is going to score. You're gonna enjoy it.

455
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 4: And finally, all you got to do is just take

456
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: a look at the record. For almost one hundred years

457
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 4: they've been bawling out. Flavor is undefeated. A tasty Louisiana

458
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 4: legacy like that deserves the most Valuable poor title. That's

459
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 4: why the original Louisiana Hot Sauce is not just my.

460
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: MVP, it's my VP.

461
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 4: And you know what I mean, is good that Louisiana

462
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 4: hot sauce I'm talking about.

463
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: Make sure you balue some.

Speaker 4: forty nine Ers, that's a big one for the division

499
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 4: and number one seed. So we'll get to those in

500
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 4: a few moments, but we got to touch on this

501
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 4: Notre Dame USC ongoing saga. There was a segment on

502
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 4: two pros and a Cup of Joe. Obviously, Brady Quinn,

503
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: a former quarterback great at Notre Dame, had some very

504
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 4: very poignant things to say about Lincoln Riley basically coming

505
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 4: out or the ad somebody came out, wasn't the a

506
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 4: d Maybe it was the ad that came out and

507
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 4: had some interesting things to say, basically insinuating that it

508
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: wasn't on USC that the rivalry game of historical value

509
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 4: and weight was going away. It was because Notre Dame

510
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 4: did want to schedule them, and so that turned into

511
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 4: Brady came on. He gave all his reasons as to

512
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 4: why that's bs and it doesn't make sense. And you know,

513
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 4: if USC wanted to make the game work, make it

514
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 4: work the way that it's been made to work throughout

515
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 4: the course of history. And TJ, you had some comments

516
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 4: on it on they posted it on social You could

517
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 4: go to King of the Mammals or you could go

518
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 4: to Fox Sports Radio as well to see the post.

519
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 4: But you had some comments and it turned into a

520
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 4: like an all out everybody popping. Everybody looked like an

521
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 4: anchor man scene on social media. I mean, give me,

522
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 4: give me your give me your thoughts on it, because

523
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 4: I heard Q's thoughts on it on two Pros. But

524
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 4: I said it was up on game versus two pros.

525
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 4: So I had, as you said, I have no dog

526
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 4: in the fight because both of y'all my boys.

527
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 3: But but you had some.

528
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: Things to say, like it wasn't so clear cut to

529
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: say that USC it was placed in the blame incorrectly

530
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 4: at the feet of Notre Dame.

531
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 5: Look, and you have no dog in a fight. I

532
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 5: don't either. I didn't go to Notre Dame. I didn't see.

533
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 5: All I'm saying is this, this is what I felt.

534
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 5: One Notre Dame is in a power position in college football.

535
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 5: It's really in the power position starting next year when

536
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 5: it comes to getting into the playoffs. And so when

537
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 5: you are in the position of power, do you not

538
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 5: have a explain?

539
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: Do not explain that a little bit further? How are

540
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 4: they are in a power position?

541
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: All Notre Dame.

542
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 5: Has to do is finish in the top twelve and

543
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 5: they're automatically in a college football playoff.

544
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: That's why you got to have a top twelve strength

545
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 4: of schedule to be No, you don't know, you don't,

546
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: you don't know, you don't.

547
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: Okay, let's talk about it.

548
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 5: If Notre Dame is in the top twelve next season,

549
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 5: they are in a college football playoff. When you look

550
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 5: at Notre Dame schedule for next season, I don't everybody

551
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 5: knows that the schedule was done years out. Everybody knows it.

552
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 5: But did it matter? It was done years out when

553
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: the USC was on the schedule for next year. Now

554
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 5: they're no longer on the schedule, So does it really matter.

555
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 5: If you want to get out of a game, you

556
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 5: can get out of a game. If you want an

557
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 5: adding game, you not a game, because that's just what happened.

558
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 5: And so if you're if you're Notre Dame. Why would

559
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 5: you risk. They've beaten SC, I believe three times in

560
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 5: a row. So it's not as if SC is this

561
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 5: powerhouse that they're afraid to play, But why take a risk?

562
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: Why would you take that risk? The best team that

563
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 5: the University of not the daint plays next year is

564
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 5: gonna be Miami. Who's gonna be Miami's quarterback Ruban bang junior.

565
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 5: Who are they gonna That's that's if you look at

566
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 5: their schedule right now, and there may be some Indianas

567
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 5: that come out of nowhere, who do they play? That's

568
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 5: the best two teams they played this year. They lost

569
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 5: two Texas and them in Miami. Those are the best

570
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 5: two teams they played this year. They lost both of

571
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 5: them early, and they lost both of them. And so

572
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 5: when I read and I look at it, as he says, Okay,

573
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 5: things have changed. We're not in a Pac twelve anymore,

574
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 5: a conference which USC and Oregon were pretty much the

575
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: best teams, give or take University of Washington here and there.

576
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 5: They moved to the Big Ten, much better conference, better competition.

577
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 5: We want to play this game early in the season.

578
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 5: We play a stretch during our conference that's a tough schedule.

579
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 5: Let's schedule it for the beginning of the season, like

580
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 5: the majority of teams. Do you schedule your non conference

581
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 5: games early in the season? Urdame was like, Nah, when

582
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 5: you're in a position of power, you can dictate the terms.

583
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 5: If Notre Dame really wanted the game, they had played

584
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 5: it very simple.

585
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: If you really want.

586
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 5: To know, Yes, when you're in a position, the people

587
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 5: that are in a position of power, do they not

588
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 5: have more control?

589
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't. I don't buy that. I don't

590
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 4: think that us at the game.

591
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 5: LeVar, the people that are in position of power, do

592
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 5: you have what goes on?

593
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: Or you disagree with that? When you are in a

594
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: position of power, who makes the decisions?

595
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: Oh, you can dictate the exactly you dictate. I agree

596
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: with the terms.

597
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 5: I don't think Plexico, no, no, Plexico has a dog

598
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 5: in a fight. His son is a Notre Dame fighting

599
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 5: Irish me and levard don't people.

600
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 6: They're just talking about the matchup. I don't get I

601
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 6: don't give who they play.

602
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: You do have a child on the team, sir, Yeah.

603
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: I don't. Can't they play USC or not? I mean,

604
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: and they're probably going to be you see. Yeah, but

605
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: but but.

606
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 6: It's not like this is a you see from the

607
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 6: early two thousands.

608
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: I mean, what are we talking about you?

609
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 4: I mean we would say you is probably a better

610
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 4: team right now than than us.

611
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: He is.

612
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 5: I'll say this, moving forward, reschedule, believe is going to

613
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 5: be a better football team next year than they've been

614
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 5: in the last five years.

615
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: I'll say that.

616
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 4: I believe their defense coordinator, you know, former Penn State

617
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 4: or we just took him and brought him.

618
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: On back home.

619
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 4: So I don't know how good their defense will be,

620
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 4: thank you. Uh, but I still say, you know, you

621
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 4: guys can argue the points of the details of it,

622
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna let you have it in a second

623
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 4: plex and then we got to get to Ilo. But

624
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 4: I will say this, it just seems as though USC

625
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: is fight more so Lincoln Rally is fighting to save

626
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 4: his job and stay filed with a big ass contract

627
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 4: that they don't want to buy out.

628
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: So you do away with this game.

629
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 4: By doing away with this game, you give yourself an

630
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 4: opportunity with the fruiting class that you're bringing in to

631
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 4: possibly get out the Gates, have a really good season,

632
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: potentially be in the mix of it in the big

633
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: ten and have the opportunity to make it into the

634
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 4: College Football Playoff. That's what it says to me, And

635
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 4: it was a ducking of Notre Dame and scheduling because

636
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 4: they want to have a better opportunity of getting out

637
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 4: the gate off to a good start and having the

638
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: opportunity to try to run the table or have that

639
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 4: built up cushion where they can lose one to two

640
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 4: games within the Big Ten and still be up for

641
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: an opportunity to go to the college For.

642
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 5: Both teams have a good season and they can men

643
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: to College Football Playoff.

644
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 6: Oh I hope I agree with Leval one hundred percent

645
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 6: on what he is saying, because I'm looking at just

646
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 6: like you said, TJ USC is no longer in the

647
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 6: pet Pack ten Pac twelve, They're in the Big Ten,

648
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 6: and looking at their schedule, I would take Notre Dame

649
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 6: off my twenty six schedule two because you guess what,

650
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 6: you go to Indiana, you go to Penn State, you

651
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 6: play Ohio State, Oregon, and Washington exactly.

652
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: So that's three losses right there. That's easy, easily, three

653
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 3: loss easy.

654
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: So now they finished at nine and four last year.

655
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 6: I'm looking at this schedule I don't believe that they're

656
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 6: going to be better than they were this year playing

657
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 6: playing these big ten teams.

658
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: They just might.

659
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: And now you want to add any know to day?

660
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 5: Hey, do you want to talk about Notre Dame schedule?

661
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 5: Who they play? Have you have you looked at their schedule?

662
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 5: Schedule they play? Look at their schedule and tell me

663
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 5: they that's going to be in the day.

664
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: They play Marina Dale Ray.

665
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 6: They played Marinadale Ray High School. Hey, listen, if you listen,

666
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 6: if you'll know the dame, so now that you're not.

667
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: Playing, you have to reposition yourself on.

668
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 2: This get to it. No, I'm telling about so.

669
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 6: So if you'll know the dame and you want to

670
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 6: not if you're you're not going to play USC, do

671
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 6: you know what you do? Do you add Indiana to

672
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 6: the schedule? You're already playing per Due. Why not make

673
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 6: it an in state rivalry?

674
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 4: I'm that would carry They beat them in a lot

675
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 4: of weight last year.

676
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: That would carry a lot of weight.

677
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 6: If you Notre Dame an in state rival game, you

678
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 6: no longer play in USC.

679
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: Put Indiana on the schedule.

680
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 4: See if they want to play Notre Dame loses early,

681
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 4: that's That's what I would say. Under Marcus Freeman, Notre

682
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 4: Dame loses early, they always finish out strong.

683
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 3: Like I said, I don't have a dog early to lose.

684
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 3: I know that this year.

685
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: Next year they're not playing anybody.

686
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: And with that being said, that could be a point

687
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 4: of you look at and you you reference back if

688
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 4: they do breeze through the regular season and make it

689
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 4: into the playoffs, if they go out early, if they

690
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 4: don't make it all the way to the championship round,

691
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 4: You're gonna look at their strength of schedule and you

692
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 4: might judge their their strength of schedule moving forward, you

693
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 4: know what I mean? That could what comes out of

694
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 4: this potentially, and it could in a way and somehow

695
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 4: backfire against Notre Dame taking a schedule that could lead

696
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 4: to them being undefeated coming out of the regular season

697
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 4: going into the college football playoff. But we'll see how

698
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 4: it all plays out. Let's get a trending from mister

699
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 4: Isaac Flowing Krawn.

700
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 3: What you got, sir? What do you know?

701
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: LeVar?

702
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 9: Our top story in sports right.

703
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 3: Now is Notre Dame.

704
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 9: But it's not Notre Dame football. It's Notre Dame basketball,

705
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 9: Notre Dame basketball, head coach Micah Shrewsbury issued a staym

706
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 9: in a short time ago, apologizing for attempting to confront

707
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 9: an official after a controversial loss last night at cal.

708
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 9: Video of Shrewsbury going after the official has gone viral

709
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 9: since then.

710
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 4: To say the least Shorty slam did excuse me, they

711
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 4: should have went after him in body slammed.

712
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 9: So I take it you disagreed with the call.

713
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I disagree with the call, and I disagree with him.

714
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 3: Apolog Now I'm choking. Go ahead.

715
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 9: You disagreed with a continuation on that three pointer? There

716
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 9: was a four hundred point Yeah, yeah, disagree with it

717
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 9: as well. Anyway, In the statement, truth very said, quote,

718
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 9: my actions were inappropriate and not symbolic of the leader

719
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 9: I strive to be and what Notre Dame expects of

720
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 9: its coaches and educators. I will learn from this lack

721
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 9: of judgments and be better in the future. My actions

722
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 9: were unacceptable unquote. Week eighteen of the NFL season kicks

723
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 9: off at four thirty Eastern with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

724
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 9: playing host of the Carolina Panthers. If Carolina wins, it

725
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 9: clinches the NFC South. It also clinches with a tie.

726
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 9: Tampa Bay can clench the NFC South with a win

727
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 9: and of Falcons loss or tie tomorrow against the New

728

729
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 9: visit the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Forty nine Ers win,

730
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 9: they clinched the one seed in the NFC. If the

731
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 9: Seahawks win or tie, they clinched the one seed in

732
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 9: the NFC. Finally, Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle cole Van Lannon's

733
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,160

00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: It was a terrible call.

740
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 5: That should not have been a call on allder Day

741
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 5: and that referee should never ref the game again.

742
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,280

758
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 4: couple of seconds here, couple of minutes. But let's talk

759
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 4: about these games. We got San Fran uh playing against

760
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 4: Seattle for the division. We got the Panthers playing against

761
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 4: the Bucks for the division. How y'all feel about these games?

762
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: Man?

763
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 4: And I do believe you win it, you get in, right,

764
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 4: Like I believe Seattle and San Fran will both make

765
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 4: it in. I believe they're fighting for the one or

766
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 4: Seattle fight for the one seed. But if the Buccaneers lose,

767
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 4: they're out, correct Like if if if they don't win

768
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 4: the division, they're not going in as a wild card?

769
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: Correct?

770
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: Is that right? Oh? Yeah, yeah, you are correct.

771
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 4: And the same with the Panthers as well, if they

772
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 4: win their in. But if they lose, they they going home.

773
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 4: So how you got set?

774
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 10: The Panthers can lose today, and I believe if the

775
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 10: Falcons win tomorrow, it's a three way tie and the

776
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 10: Panthers would then win the division.

777
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 3: So yeah, the Bucks to chance.

778
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, the Bucks can win today and they still have

779
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 10: to wait till tomorrow to see what happens with the

780
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 10: Falcons in the Saints.

781
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so if the Bucks win, the Falcons can still

782
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 4: win the division.

783
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 10: No, the Buccaneers win today, they need they need the

784
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 10: Saints to win tomorrow to win the division. If the

785
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 10: Panthers win today, they win the division outright. But the

786
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 10: Panthers can lose. The Panthers can lose today, and the.

787
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 4: Bucks win today and the Saints win tomorrow, what happened.

788
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 10: The Panthers will win the division.

789
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: I believe the Panthers win. Okay, how y'all feel about this?

790
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, just tell the business man you would like to

791
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 6: think that the Carolina Panthers would go into Tampa Bay

792
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 6: and win this game. They are eight and nine, they

793
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 6: haven't had a winning seedings in ten years, since twenty

794
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 6: and fifteen. I think you're rooting for Bryce shown to

795
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 6: win this game. But just these divisional games can go

796
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 6: either way. So with that being said, I'm going with

797
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay and I'm looking at this, I'm looking at

798
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 6: the San Franusco forty nine a game, man, And you

799
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 6: know I'm not a wide receiver. I'm not a defensive

800
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 6: back a wide receiver. But I you got to back

801
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 6: up off of the things that I said about Kyle

802
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 6: Shanahan and his team. Man, they are I said that

803
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 6: the window had closed. If they lose tomorrow, the window

804
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 6: is closed. But right now, man, you got to say

805
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 6: it's his best coaching job.

806
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: Man, I'm serious. You gotta say it's best coaching job.

807
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 3: Best coaching job.

808
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

809
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 6: No, Nick Bosa, no Fred Warner, kidle in and out

810
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 6: of the lineup, no branding now.

811
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: You no debo.

812
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 6: Trent's been out of the lineup, has been out, and

813
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 6: you managed to get yourself in a space. You're twelve

814
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 6: and four and you don't have to leave the state

815
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 6: of California until after.

816
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl.

817
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 6: So I think it's gonna be a great game, man,

818
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 6: And I would like to see Shanahan get it done.

819
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 6: But if he doesn't, I believe that the windows officially closed.

820
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: Man.

821
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 5: These games are hard to kind of figure out who's

822
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 5: gonna win. Like Seattle and San Francisco, both teams really good.

823
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 5: You would say Seattle has it advantage just because defensively

824
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 5: that they're intact. But Kyle Shanahan and sala our x factors.

825
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 5: And then you look at the Bucks and Panthers. It's

826
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 5: like flip a coin. One game, the Bucks look very good.

827
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 5: They beat the Rams, they beat this team, they beat

828
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 5: that team, and then they lose to bad teams. You're like, huns,

829
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 5: it's the same team. And I don't know what is

830
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 5: going on with the Bucks. I have no idea what's

831
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 5: going on with them. And so you literally, I believe

832
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 5: the Bucks and the Panthers about to kick off here

833
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 5: in a few hours, and you just.

834
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 2: Don't know what's gonna happen.

835
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 5: But one thing I do know, I'm gonna be glued

836
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 5: to the TV because I love football.

837
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, these are good games. Is good games, competitive games.

838
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 4: See what's going to happen for the playoff? Pitcher, we

839
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 4: got a whole lot more to talk to and not

840
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 4: a whole lot of time to do. An hour two

841
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 4: is coming at you. We got cups the legend. Obviously

842
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,200

843
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 4: and we're gonna talk some basketball. So we're gonna take

844
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 4: a quick break and then we'll be right back. This
