1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of welcome in Lake Kick is Live.

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: It is Sunday Night, June twelfth, year of Our Lord,

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, with great expectations, hopefully comes a great show.

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk a lot about expectations, reasonable expectations.

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: Tonight.

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: We are jam pack Hiatape soon to be baking downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: What are the most reasonable expectations for your team? We're

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: gonna start I think a new series tonight if it

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: does well, and we're gonna hit five teams, not necessarily

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: the best case, not necessarily the disaster scenario, but what's

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: the most reasonable thing?

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: And we're gonna air on the side of glass half full.

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have some aggressive win totals for five

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: teams tonight. We're gonna talk underrated quarterbacks, not necessarily the

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: Bryce Young's and the CJ. Strouds of the world. We

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: got plenty of time to talk about them. Some names

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: that you may or may not know, but you need

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: to know. And I can guarantee you a couple of

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: you haven't heard much about the best position rooms in America,

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: the deepest, most talented position rooms. We're going to hit

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: four or five six of those as time allows on

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: a show where we have no time limit, and also

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: chapter sixteen of Bold Predictions Tonight. All that plus the

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: Satanic ritual that is the Fall Wedding, we sadly have

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: some more commentary to be had because your boy has

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: been invited to another Fall wedding. And these people didn't

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: even do it via mail. They hit me in person,

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: thinking that that would peer pressure me into something that

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: it did not peer pressure me into.

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: We'll do that on the back end of the show.

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: They're watching us in Hennessy, Oklahoma, New York City. They're

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 2: watching us, believe it or not, in Belgrade, Serbia. Big

33
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: Late Kit contingent there in Serbia, and they're watching us

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: in Fort Benning, Georgia, which is next door to Columbus, Georgia.

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: Ninety seven, four hundred and seventy. That's how many people

36
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: are subscribed to the YouTube channel right now. That's how

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: close we are to one hundred k. We've been gaining,

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: not exponentially, but pretty close to that over the past

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: few weeks. Keep it going, keep it going, got to

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: get to one hundred k. I want to do that

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: well before media days, well before that. So Director Colin

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: wants that one hundred k plaque that YouTube sends us,

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: and I want to get there just to see what

44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: the surprise for management is. So thank you so much

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: everything else around here, Coston, arm and a leg. These days,

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: lay Kick still free, and we'll keep it that way

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: as long as the traffic continues to come. As I said,

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait till the end of the show, but

49
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: I am going to address this fall wedding situation for

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: lack of much more poignant.

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: And useful terms.

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, let's talk about some expectations.

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: What's reasonable.

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: There's some major programs out there with some big time expectations.

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: Preview magazine season is upon us, so a lot of

56
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: folks are going to say a lot of very bold things.

57
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: But I want to know what's reasonable, and so tonight

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go down the list. We're gonna start with

59
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: Texas A and M, and I'm gonna throw some teams

60
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: out there. And before I tell you what I think

61
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: about him, I want you to just shout right back

62
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: at me. Whether you're driving around on a Tuesday morning

63
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: listening to the podcast or whether you're watching live, what

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: do you think.

65
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: Is reasonable to expect.

66
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: What should these fan bases feel confident in expecting.

67
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Texas A and M.

68
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: What do you think we should expect from the Aggies

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: this year twenty twenty one? Last year you saw they

70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: had some ups, they had some downs, they lost a quarterback,

71
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: they beat Alabama and so they were eight and four.

72
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: Last year the bowl game got canceled on them. They're

73
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: over under win total. And this is kind of where

74
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: I want to start and pivot off of all these teams.

75
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: The over unders eight and a half, and it's heavily

76
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: juiced to the over, so we may even see that

77
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: thing hit nine before the season kicks off. So with

78
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: that in mind, what do you think a reasonable expectation

79
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: is in terms of wins and losses for a Texas

80
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: A and M fan? You know where I went? I

81
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: went ten and two. I went a game and a

82
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: half above the over underwin total. Here's where my mind's at.

83
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: There's this in between vibe amongst most of the college

84
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: football public, it seems, including Vegas with Texas A and M.

85
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: The in between meaning everyone's on fire right now about

86
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: what they're doing in terms of recruiting and nil. And

87
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: we got a bunch of talent that's on campus. But

88
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone stopped to look around, A

89
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: lot of talent's been on campus over the past four

90
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: recruiting cycles. You know what their average class finish has been,

91
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: four point seven to five.

92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: They've averaged a top five finish. They're loaded. If we

93
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: were to look at.

94
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: This roster and Nick Saban were the coach, If we

95
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: looked at that roster and Kirby Smart was the coach,

96
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: no one would sit around saying, let's just get us

97
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: nine wins this year. No, rightfully, so the expectation would

98
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: be that team right there, with a roster that loaded

99
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: four consecutive classes inside the top eight, they need to

100
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: be competing for the SEC championship.

101
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: Why should I think any.

102
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: Differently about Texas A and M just because it's become

103
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: this going narrative that they're one year away. Jembo Fisher's

104
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: been there five years, this is fifth year now, they've

105
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: recruited at a top elite level.

106
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I.

107
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: Expect them to be in contention just because someone said

108
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: they shouldn't be.

109
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

110
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean, we're talking about Max Johnson and Haines King

111
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: at quarterback. We just brought in the number one receiver

112
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: in the country. We brought in like seventy of the

113
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: top defensive linemen in the country. Out there, They've got

114
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: everything they need and then some to compete. You know

115
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: what has to happen. The staff out there has to

116
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: get it done. People have to execute. You've got to

117
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: beat some really good teams. You're looking at their schedule

118
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: right now if you're watching on YouTube. The way I

119
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: see it is they play Alabama. That's a Tier one game.

120
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: Playing at Alabama is a Tier one game. I would

121
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: not expect any team in America to win the game.

122
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: It's not impossible. I don't expect it. But outside of that,

123
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: when you talk about their Tier two games, you can

124
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: look at Miami coming in there, you can look at Florida, LSU.

125
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: All of those teams have new staffs. The game against

126
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: Arkansas's in Dallas. Those Tier two games are very winnable.

127
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: They get Florida at home late in the year, they

128
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: get all miss at home later in the year. So yeah,

129
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: ten and two I think is more than reasonable for

130
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: you to expect as a Texas A and m fan.

131
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: And if you finish below that see, there's this real

132
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: interesting world here where you could finish below ten wins,

133
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: but you could hit the over eight and a half

134
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: and land at nine. And I really don't think much

135
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: of anyone would be happy in that particular point. But

136
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: the good news is this is not a make or

137
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: break year. They still have several years they're building towards

138
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: in the future. I just don't think we should have

139
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: to wait for twenty twenty three for Texas A and

140
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: M to compete for this thing.

141
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.

142
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: Next up, let's go all the way across the country

143
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: to the west coast. The Oregon Ducks finished twenty second

144
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: last year ten and four. As you well know by now,

145
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: Mario Cristabaul out the door. Dan Lanning defensive coordinator at Georgia.

146
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: He heads out west. When you dive into their schedule,

147
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: it's a lot tougher than it seems. They're over under

148
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: win totals nine. Okay, so I want to preface everything

149
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: I'm about to say with that, and it's pretty evenly

150
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: juiced minus one fifteen either way. If you're looking at

151
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: Caesars right now, they're plus three hundred to win the

152
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: Pac twelve. There plus six thousand to win the national championship.

153
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: But I want to go back to what we should

154
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: expect reasonably in terms of a win loss. I put

155
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: Oregon at nine and three. I think it's reasonable to

156
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: expect nine to three. And you may think, oh, boy, Oregon.

157
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: You know they've got a pretty loaded roster. They've got

158
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: bo Nix coming in there via the transfer market, so

159
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: they're not a huge question market quarterback Mario left behind

160
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: a really, really good stable of talent. Don't you expect

161
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: them to be better than that? Well, it's all relative.

162
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: You are not always what your record says you are

163
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: in this sport because of as we often talk about,

164
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: the dichotomy, the vast gulf between strengths of schedules, and

165
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: the fact is Oregon has a sneaky, tough schedule. I

166
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: know a lot of people laugh at that in the South.

167
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if you look right now, if you're

168
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: watching on YouTube, you see it. They open against Georgia.

169
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: They're over a two touchdown underdog there. But that's not

170
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: this thing where they start tough and then it greatly

171
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: eases up the rest of the way. They won't play

172
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: another Georgia in the regular season. I'll grant you that,

173
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: but look who they play in Week three. First off,

174
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: let me stay Eastern Washington in week two is one

175
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: of the tougher SC teams you can play, but I

176
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: think most of us.

177
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: Expect going to win the game.

178
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: They got Brigham Young coming in there in week three.

179
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about BYU a little bit later on.

180
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Mm went there, went that?

181
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: Why there, We're gonna talk about Brigham Young a little

182
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: bit later on. In fact, we're gonna talk about two

183
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: teams back to back here, Brigham Young and Washington State

184
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: that have two of the most underrated quarterbacks in America.

185
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: And the reason I'm bringing up the quarterback position is

186
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 2: because one of the great areas of at least concern,

187
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: if you don't want to call it a weakness, is secondary.

188
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: I got some guys coming in there into Oregon via

189
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: the transfer market that have to pan out. And as

190
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: you see, they're playing Georgia, Brigham Young and Washington State

191
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: three of the first four games of the season. Georgia's

192
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: got the most loaded wide receiver stable I think they've.

193
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: Had in quite a while. It's gonna be tough.

194
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: That's gonna be sort of a baptism by fire for

195
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: that Oregon secondary early on, and so I keep going

196
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: down that list. They get UCLA at home, they get

197
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: Utah at home, but new staff, new quarterback, a lot

198
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: of expectation there. People do not expect things to drop

199
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: off in terms of production standpoint, even if they do

200
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: have Dan Lanny and look, I'm optimistic they're going to

201
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: be a good team this year. That is how much

202
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: I think their schedule is a challenge. So I went

203
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: nine and three, and if you wanted to argue with

204
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: me that a more reasonable expectation would be eight and four,

205
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't think.

206
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: I'd pushed back all that hard.

207
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 2: There is, of course a path where they exceed all

208
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: of this. We're talking about reasonable, not best case. We're

209
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: talking about reasonable. I think nine and three is a

210
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 2: slightly aggressive reasonable expectation for Oregon. Now let's head to

211
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: the SEC. Let's stay in the state that I sit

212
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: in right now. There's a bad day on the diamond,

213
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: but let's look ahead to the gridiron this fall. Tennessee

214
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: coming off a seven and six year eh. Depending on

215
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: how you want to count that bowl game against Purdue

216
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: seven and six, Yes, we have to statistically count it

217
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: as a loss. I broke Tennessee's schedule down into three tiers.

218
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: They're over underwent total seven and a half coming into

219
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: the year, so they won seven last year. Vegas has

220
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: their over under seven and a half, jewe towards the over,

221
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: so probably a little bit heavier action on the over.

222
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: Right now, I got them with two games in Tier one.

223
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: They play Alabama and Georgia. They play them every year,

224
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: one of the only teams to play both of them

225
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: every year. Those are Tier one games. It's not reasonable

226
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: to expect them to win. It's hopeful, but it's not reasonable.

227
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: So let's call those games zero to two to be reasonable.

228
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: And then let's move on to Tier two because Tier

229
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: two is where they have to make some noise in

230
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: order to hit what I think is reasonable for Tennessee,

231
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: and that's a nine and three record this year. And

232
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: if Tennessee's going to be nine and three this year,

233
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: when we look at games at pitt Florida at home,

234
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: at LSU Kentucky at home, and at South Carolina, I

235
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: need them to be four and one there if they

236
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: don't upset Georgia Orbama, I need them to be four

237
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: and one out of those games. Pitt Florida, LSU Kentucky,

238
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: and South Carolina, and then they need to sweep Tier three.

239
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: Can't be getting upset by Missouri, can't go to Vanderbilt

240
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: layanegg so got to be perfect there if they drop

241
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: both of those Tier one games. But they can go

242
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: four and one, which I think they're very capable of.

243
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: In Tier two.

244
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 2: That's a nine to three record. Now, is that a

245
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: little aggressive? I think it is a little aggressive. I

246
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: told you at the outset I'm gonna be a little

247
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: aggressive with this. But we will not have to wait

248
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: too long. This is not Michigan's schedule. Michigan hardly plays

249
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: anyone with a pulse the first month of the season,

250
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: So we're gonna wait a little while before we get

251
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: to see the real Michigan this year. With Tennessee, they

252
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: go to pitt ACC Champs a year ago, they go

253
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: to pitt in week two. Pitt beat them last year

254
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: in Knoxville. They go to Pittsburgh in week two. Then

255
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: they've got Florida coming in there in week four at home.

256
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: Think about how different September could be. It's kind of

257
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: got a Penn State twenty twenty one vibe. They have

258
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: so many hinge games in the first weeks of the season,

259
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna know a whole lot about, obviously, whether this

260
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: is realistic or more idealistic. They play at pitt and

261
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: they play Florida, and that's before we get to October.

262
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: There's no reason why Tennessee should start slow this year.

263
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: They return a quarterback that was a third twenty four

264
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: to three touchdown to I Guy last year. There's a

265
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: lot of continuity here. There's a lot of last year

266
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: carry over into this year. I expect that there will

267
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: be some folks who look at nine wins and say,

268
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: still think you're a year away. I don't think it's

269
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: the most aggressive reasonable expectation in the world to call

270
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: nine and three on Tennessee.

271
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: Let's go down south to Miami.

272
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: We were going to do Florida State here, but I'm

273
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: talking about FSU a little bit later on, so let's

274
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: talk Miami here.

275
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: I was on a seesaw for like an hour.

276
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: I spent an inordinate amount of time on my Miami

277
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: reasonable expectation earlier today because I was on eight and

278
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: four for a little while, and I'll tell you where

279
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: I wound up. So they were sitting as of airtime

280
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: at eight and a half over under preseason win total,

281
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 2: so that's pretty aggressive. They got a new coaching staff

282
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 2: in there, Mario Christbaul's in out with Manny Diaz.

283
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: You know all that. So here we go. I was

284
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: on eight and four.

285
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: I ended up bumping my reasonable expectation from Miami up

286
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: to nine and three. They do not have a ton

287
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 2: of game breakers at receiver. That's a negative. They've got

288
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: guys they think they can depend on, but they don't

289
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: have game breakers there.

290
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: But here's the positive.

291
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: As we start to look at their schedule, They've got

292
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: I think a dependable commodity and Tyler Van Dyk at

293
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: quarterback could be great, but at the very least, I'm

294
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: gonna call him dependable, good decisions last year. Didn't throw

295
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: the ball to the other team a whole lot, didn't

296
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: turn it over a whole lot. But they also have

297
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 2: a very dependable, I think stable of running backs. They

298
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: return I think three along the offensive line. They feel

299
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: good about where they're going to be on the offensive line.

300
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: They brought in a head coach who specializes on the

301
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: offensive line. They have got dynamite special teams coming back.

302
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: So my point is I've just built you several pillars

303
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: of this team offense and special teams at least that

304
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: I think can be dependable. Those have carryover effect, those

305
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: are there week after week. And the reason why I

306
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: mentioned the wide receiver position at the front of that

307
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: as being something that lacks game breakers is when you

308
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: look at their schedule, they don't even look at the

309
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: game at an m If you want to chalk that

310
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: one up as a loss, go ahead, that's fine. It's

311
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: going to be a single digit point spread. It's already out.

312
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: But let's if you want to chalk that one up

313
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: as a loss, that's fine. But North Carolina at Virginia

314
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: Tech at Virginia Florida State at Clemson Pitt those just

315
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: screamed to me multiple one possession games in here. So

316
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: if you can give me dependability at quarterback and good

317
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: decision making, a solid run game, solid offensive line, good

318
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: special teams play, it's enough to tilt me the other way.

319
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: And I'm not telling not telling you they're going undefeated.

320
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm giving them a cushion to have three losses, but

321
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: I think they can. I think they can navigate that

322
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: schedule at a nine and three clip. And then we

323
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: start to see how the on field product impacts the

324
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: off the field recruiting product. But nine and three that's

325
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: where I landed with Miami, and last, but not least

326
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: for tonight is Michigan. I was on nine and three

327
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: a long time with Michigan too. I guess I see

328
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: saw it on this one. I'll tell you what changed

329
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: in a second. Famously, they went to the playoff last year.

330
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: They beat Ohio State, they won the Big Ten, they

331
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: went to the playoff, and then we had all the

332
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: off field stuff with Jim Harbaugh. He's back, got two

333
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: new coordinators. So that's essentially what you missed if you've

334
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: been tuned out over the last five or six months.

335
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: Over under preseason win total for Michigan is nine and

336
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: a half. Evenly juiced, that's a very high number, very

337
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: high number. They're coming off doing a lot of things

338
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: they had not done under Jim Harbaugh. That factors into

339
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: this equation. But at the same time, I think about it,

340
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: and I always think about follow up performances, and I

341
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: so often maybe it's maybe it's a negative way to

342
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: look at things, but I so often have recollection of

343
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: folks who did not follow up with a sophomore performance,

344
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: if you will, off of a historic performance the year before,

345
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: and history is just littered with them. And so my

346
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: natural tendency when you see two coordinators leave and not

347
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: quite generational but a really really good, good passed rusher

348
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: leave is to just think you're going to take a

349
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: step back. I think that's human nature to think that

350
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. And then you had Harball try and

351
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: get out in the NFL and come back, and whether

352
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: folks around the program expect that to be a factor

353
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: or not, it's at least there in your mind. Well,

354
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: I've talked to some Michigan buddies, and I'm not talking

355
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: about ill informed people either, people who have a really

356
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: good pulse and read of the program. And you know,

357
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: the more I talk to them, they made this point.

358
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: They look at the Ohio State game at the end

359
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: of the year and they say, listen, we're always going

360
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: to have hope that we can beat Ohio State. But

361
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: if the outside world wants to assume we're going to

362
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: lose that game, fine assume it. There's one loss already.

363
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: Their quote, pretty much to me, has been even if

364
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: we're going to lose to Ohio State. We have no

365
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: business coming into Columbus Ohio at nine and two or worse.

366
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: So what they're saying is, look, I'm going to call

367
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: us ten and two, and that's going to be what

368
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: I give Michigan here. I think two is a reasonable expectation.

369
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: They may lose to Ohio State, for all I know,

370
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: they're gonna drop it by fifty, or maybe they beat them.

371
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: But my point is, even if they lose that game,

372
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: is it reasonable to expect them to lose two other

373
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 2: games before that?

374
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

375
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm looking around the schedule. The first month

376
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: of the season, they'll be heavily favored, but then they

377
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: go to Iowa and to Indiana. I know it's not

378
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: the easiest place to play on the road at Kinnick Stadium.

379
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: They're better than Iowa. They should beat Iowa. They're better

380
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: than Penn State at home. They should beat Penn State

381
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: at home. Not by fifty, but they should beat Penn

382
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: State at home. Ditto with Michigan State. There's a lot

383
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: of should that's happening. You know, on paper, I understand

384
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: where the football games are actually played. But Michigan's roster

385
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: is such that they can afford to lose an impact

386
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: player or two. When I look at guys returning like

387
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: Coorum or Donovan Edwards, really good stable of running backs,

388
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: both quarterbacks return, Ronnie Bell's back from injury at wide receiver,

389
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: and they've got a pretty good stable of receivers there. Certainly,

390
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: when you look at the overall athleticism in the receiver room,

391
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: it's continued to upgrade. It's not where Ohio States is, newsflash.

392
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: No one's room is where Ohio States is. But even

393
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: if we're not going to compare them to the black

394
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: Eyes elsewhere in the Big Ten, it's what I'm talking about.

395
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: Where are the two other losses?

396
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: I see losable games, but I think it's reasonable to

397
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: expect them to be able to navigate the rest of

398
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: that schedule with no more than one regular season loss.

399
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: So I'm going ten and two with Michigan. Those are

400
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 2: reasonable in my mind. Expectations for this year. We're going

401
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: to do several more teams cause I kind of like

402
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: the way that went, So we'll do several more teams.

403
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, what did I give you? I

404
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: gave you A and m Oregon, Tennessee, Miami Michigan. Feel

405
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 2: free in the comment section to give me reasonable keyword.

406
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: They're reasonable expectations in your mind for those teams. Just

407
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: pretend you're running a sportsbook. What would you set the

408
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: number out? I guess it is going to be roughly

409
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: as hot as the surface the sun in Nashville this week.

410
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: Good old fashioned heat dome. The high pressure ridge that is,

411
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: it's tough to deal with, and so Academy Sports and Outdoors,

412
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: of course is where you can go for all your.

413
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: Sporting goods gear.

414
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: But I think especially in our portion of the country

415
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: this week, coolers gonna fly off the shelves, bikes, anytime

416
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: you can move outside and get the wind to be

417
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: a factor to stay cool, do it. Canopies block that

418
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: evil sun entirely. Tents We have three many tents, well two,

419
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: we had to send one back. We got the many

420
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: tents right out there in the newsroom. Tank tops, shorts,

421
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: flip flops. They have all these things for you at

422
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors, and occasionally I may refer to

423
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: those as creature comforts. You know, wants this week you

424
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 2: need a lot of that. Let's be real. If you

425
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: live in the southeastern portion of the country. I know

426
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: it's well into the triple digits out in the desert

427
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 2: southwest too, but we've got a wet heat coming at

428
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 2: us this week as opposed to the dry heat out west,

429
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: and that heat will dehydrate you in about eight minutes

430
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: if you're not careful. So replenish yourself in terms of

431
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: fluid and electrolytes, but also replenish yourself in terms of needs,

432
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: especially in this tropical climate of ours. And you can

433
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: do it at Academy Sports and Outdoors. And since this

434
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: hot weather's not going anywhere, you don't necessarily have to

435
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: rush off to a brick and mortar location tomorrow. If

436
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: you don't have one in your neighborhood, or you're just

437
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: too lazy to lead the house, or maybe too smart

438
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: to lead the house, Academy dot Com is the place

439
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: for you. Bold Predictions is a runaway success. Bold Predictions

440
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: has become safely one of the most popular segments we've

441
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: ever done. Here's how you know. We're on version sixteen

442
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: of it tonight, so let's roll right into it. Bold Predictions,

443
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: Chapter sixteen. The things that you claim you would bet

444
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: your own money on when it comes to college football

445
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. Let's start in Tuscaloosa, shall we. Chris said,

446
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: Alabama will lose two games in the regular season, and

447
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: then here's the cherry on top.

448
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: Neither will be against Texas A and M.

449
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: I'm not even reading the last part because we have

450
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 2: jerks in the control room that added that, how's this

451
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: gonna happen? So two and a half. Well, two losses,

452
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: neither are to Texas A and M. Removing A and

453
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: M changed a lot there. So I'm gonna call this

454
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: an eight and a half, and I would make it

455
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: even more bold than that on the one to ten

456
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: boldness scale. But then you look at Alabama's road schedule

457
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: and you realize, whoo, they play at Texas, they play

458
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 2: at Arkansas, at Tennessee, at LSU, and atawill Miss. Luckily

459
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: they don't have to play themselves. That's the only team

460
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 2: that can say that in the SEC West. That is

461
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: that is a stretch. By the way, one, two, three, four,

462
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: five teams all of hoopst have a regular season over

463
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: under win total of seven or more. That is a

464
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: tough road schedule. That's really tough. And they get A

465
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: and M at home. But Chris said, they're not going

466
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: to lose to A and M. So I've got to

467
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: assume they're losing two games to Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, LSU

468
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: were old Miss Alabama's.

469
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: Gonna be really good this year, But that is possible.

470
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 2: I mean, if there's any road schedule, I guess that's

471
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: gonna do that to an elite team, it would be

472
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: the one they're playing. Even having said that, though, when

473
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: you get the pass rush they're gonna have, when you

474
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: got the secondary they're gonna have, their secondary gonna be

475
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: overshadowed by that linebacker room. That secondary is gonna be

476
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: as good as Savans had in a few years.

477
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, you.

478
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: Got returning Heisman Trophy winner and you have what they

479
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: can do offensively. Jamior Gibbs just casually joins the team.

480
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: They're gonna be really good. So it's gonna be hard

481
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: to knock them off, especially twice if A and M's

482
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 2: not one of them. I gave that an eight and

483
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: a half, and now we're gonna go even bolder than

484
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: that because we're headed down to Tallahassee, Florida, where we

485
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 2: have the following prediction.

486
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: PJ said. Florida State is this year's Baylor.

487
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: They're gonna win the ACC from Gainesville, Georgia, home of

488
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: I believe the Gainesville Red Elephants, Deshaun Watson play there,

489
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 2: Blake Simms played there. They came and just drug Harris

490
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: County in the playoffs one year. Anyway, back to college football,

491
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 2: this is a nine. Florida State's not winning the ACC

492
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: this year. I am not trying to disparage the good

493
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: name of the Florida State Seminoles. I believe they're one

494
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: year away from being able to make these kinds of

495
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: bold proclamations and put money on them. If I look

496
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: at their schedule, which I'll go over in a second,

497
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. But there's still too many holes

498
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 2: here last year to remind you where they were and

499
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: how anemic they were through the air.

500
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: Last year.

501
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 2: They did not have a single game where they threw

502
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: for three hundred and more yards, and they were below

503
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: two hundred yards passing in seven games. And I think

504
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: they were a five win team last year. So we're

505
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 2: asking them to make a pretty monumental leap here. They

506
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: do have LSU in the out of conference, they go

507
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: to NC State, they have to play Clemson, Obviously they

508
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 2: go to Miami.

509
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: They got Florida at.

510
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: The end of the year, so they're drawing LSU and

511
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: Florida in non conference play on top of having to

512
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: play Clemson, having to go to NC State. They go Wake,

513
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: n C State and Clemson back to back to back.

514
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: Mind you, So if you're trying to find nine wins here,

515
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: by default, they're gonna have to gon be several upsets.

516
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: They've got four consecutive losing season. They return a lot

517
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: from last year, but that comes back to that age

518
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: old is it good to return a huge chunk of

519
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 2: a five win team thing. I'm somewhere in the middle

520
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: on that because I do think what they're doing down

521
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: there is working. It's just not an immediate Nick Saban

522
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 2: year one to year two turnaround.

523
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: They're on the right track.

524
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: It's just that's why I believe in the eight win

525
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 2: number this year. Like I've said for the past few shows,

526
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: if you go over to Nole's twenty four to seven,

527
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 2: you go to the message board there, the reasonable expectation

528
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: you know around Florida State is can we win eight

529
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: games this year? Because you could sell me on twenty

530
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: twenty three, you could sell me on, get a nice

531
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: eight win season this year, go to a nice bowl game,

532
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: lock down a recruiting class that's hopefully closer to the

533
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: eight to twelve range than it is the eighteen to

534
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: twenty two range, and then let's do something in twenty

535
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: twenty three. Maybe Duffy's another year long at quarterback. Let's

536
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: do something in twenty twenty three. This year, though, no,

537
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 2: this year Florida State win in the ACC is a nine,

538
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: maybe a tick or two higher than.

539
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: Just a nine. Let's go to the Pac twelve.

540
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 2: I think we had a version of this one, but

541
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: Simon Gibbs gave it to us like this. He cracked

542
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: his knuckles, he cleared his throat. He said, Utah is

543
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: either going to be undefeated or twelve and one. They're

544
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: going to crash the college football Playoff. Now, Utah has

545
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: not had a regular season with two or fewer losses

546
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: since they've been in the Pac twelve. It's been several

547
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: years now, but they've been a very very dependable program,

548
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: very steady program, one of the most veteran coaching staffs

549
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: in America.

550
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: Eighth best odds to.

551
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: Make the college football Playoff right now, Actually, Jesse was

552
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: it to make the playoff or was it to win

553
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: the title. They have the eighth best odds to do something.

554
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: Either way, they have the eighth best odds to do

555
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: something really good, to win the national championship.

556
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so to win the national championship.

557
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: Utah has the eighth best odds and there's like a

558
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: five way tie at eight. Let's talk about their schedule.

559
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: They open at Florida, that's a road game. They open

560
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: at U or they don't open at They play UCLA

561
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 2: on the road, they play Oregon on the road, and

562
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: they've got US at home. So they are four toughest games,

563
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: three of them are on the road. This is not

564
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: an easy schedule. I keep going back to these Pac

565
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 2: twelve schedules, especially this year when you got Utah going

566
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: to Gainesville to open the season. You've got Oregon going

567
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: to Atlanta against Georgia to open the season. These are

568
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: not easy schedules. You may not respect the Pac twelve.

569
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: These are not easy schedules. So to call them twelve

570
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: and one or undefeated is lofty. I'm calling this an

571
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 2: eight on the boldness scale. If you would have just

572
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: told me they're going to win the Pac twelve, it

573
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: would not be nearly as bold. They are a co

574
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: favorite right now to win the Pac twelve with USC

575
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: and Oregon's right behind them, But to go twelve and

576
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: one are undefeated and make the playoff, that gets a

577
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: little more bold.

578
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: So I'm going to call that one an eight.

579
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: Now, let's get really close, near and dear to producer

580
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: Jesse's Heart, Penn State. I thought this was I thought

581
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 2: this was well put. Penn State returns to ten plus

582
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 2: win status. Sean Clifford is a big reason why. From

583
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: State College PA. You know what, that is reasonable? It's reasonable.

584
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to call it a six on the boldness

585
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: scale only because I think they're going to be a

586
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: lot of really really close, one possession hinge type games

587
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: classic Penn State. But this is very, very doable because

588
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: I believe they were a ten win team last year

589
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 2: masquerading as a seven win team because the quarterback went down.

590
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: If the quarterback does not go down at Iowa, I

591
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: understand it's part of the game. But if he doesn't

592
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: go down, I thought they were on their way to

593
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: a nine or ten win season with Shan Clifford.

594
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: So Shan Clifford is back.

595
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 2: I roughly graduated the same year as I did from

596
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: high school, but he is still playing college football, so

597
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: he's back. The first three weeks of their schedule seem

598
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: very familiar. If you're a Penn State fan, it should

599
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: seem very familiar because you were kind of in this

600
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: position last year. Weren't you remember how the entire summer

601
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: we talked about how important that game at Wisconsin was,

602
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: and you guys went up there and got beat everywhere.

603
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: But the scoreboard bought score told one story, scoreboard told

604
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: another story.

605
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: Who cares? You got it done?

606
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: Then you came home, you had that big SEC out

607
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: of conference matchup with Auburn white Out. We were there

608
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 2: and they won that one, and immediately you had two

609
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: either way games under your belt and you were off

610
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: to the races. But then the injury derails a lot

611
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: of things. Well, this year they opened at Purdue. That's

612
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: a Thursday night game. The line at last check was

613
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: three in favor of Penn State, so very very back

614
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: and forth. Could go either way there, and then they

615
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: go to Auburn. Penn State goes to Lee County, Alabama

616
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: in week three. This year, those could go either way too.

617
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to I'm going to overlook Ohio. Shame on me.

618
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: If I come back to regret it, I will. But

619
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: those are two games that we can look at and

620
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: you could easily sell me on either of them going

621
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: either way. And think about the difference obviously, and starting

622
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: three and overs to starting one and two, and you've

623
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: still got games at Michigan against Ohio State Michigan State.

624
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Having said that, though I.

625
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: Do generally believe in this team, they're over unders at

626
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: eight and a half. But if you could promise me health,

627
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: if anyone out there is able to do that, I

628
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: would love to hear that.

629
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: If you could promise me health.

630
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you could promise me that

631
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: their run game is even going to be decent this year,

632
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: I would be able to buy this. They did not

633
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: have an individual rush for one hundred yards in a

634
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: football game last year.

635
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: Please fix it. Please, If nothing else, fix that.

636
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: Keep my quarterback healthy, get me someone to run it

637
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: for one fifteen or one twenty a Saturday this fall.

638
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: If it's you know, if it's got to be Nick Singleton,

639
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: true freshman, then it's got to be Nick Singleton.

640
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm big on him anyway.

641
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: But if we can get some kind of decent run

642
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: game up there, which falls partly on that stable of

643
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: running backs and largely on that offensive If we can

644
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: get that fixed.

645
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, ten wins is doable. Man.

646
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: They had a string there from sixteen to nineteen where

647
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: they eleven eleven, nine eleven, and then we have a

648
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: COVID four win season and we got seven and six

649
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: last year. Are we bouncing back or have we resettled

650
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: into the seven to eight win range. I refuse to

651
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: believe the latter is true, So I'm gonna say this

652
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: is a six. I'm gonna say it's doable. Last, but

653
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: not least. But this one is very bold, possibly the

654
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: most bold prediction. On tonight's show, Sean said, a defensive

655
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: player is gonna make it to New York Heisman Trophy

656
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: finalists not named Will Anderson. This is a nine point

657
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: five on the boldness scale. I do not believe this

658
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 2: is gonna happen if it's not Will Anderson. But a

659
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 2: defensive player does make it. It could very well be

660
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: his teammate Dallas Turner. But I wanted to go off

661
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: the grid a little bit. I got chastis for this today.

662
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: But at some point about once or twice a month,

663
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: Producer Jesse starts mouthing off to me and I point

664
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: to the logo, say whose name's on that logo? And

665
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: he has to shut up, And that's let my finishing

666
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: move on him. Will McDonald at Iowa State is someone

667
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: that if you told me a defensive player not named

668
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: Will Anderson's gonna make it to New York, not win it,

669
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: make it to New York, I could buy. Jesse would

670
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: tell you his stats aren't good enough. Well, I'm not

671
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: predicting him to win it retroactively. I am saying that

672
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: there is a world where Will McDonald blows up this

673
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: year very good player for Iowa State. They probably have

674
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: to shoulder a little bit of the load and have

675
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: enough wins.

676
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: For him to matter.

677
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: I get that, But will McDonald really really good player

678
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: for the Cyclones?

679
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: Do I have bias there? Of course I do. I

680
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: openly root for Iowa State.

681
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: I think it's also fitting that his last name represents

682
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: a restaurant with the same color scheme as the team

683
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: he plays for. And that's the kind of stats and

684
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: information not even Producer Jesse could deliver. I realize that

685
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: myself observational skills, but Let's be real now, it's gonna

686
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 2: be tough even for Will McDonald. So I think Will Anderson,

687
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: because of the highway robbery that was committed against him

688
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: last year, stands a chance of the sympathy vote. Then

689
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: you're also going to watch him play and you're gonna

690
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: realize this guy doesn't need my sympathy. He is a

691
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: maniac and he's going to play on a team with

692
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: the best pass rush in America. So there's no way

693
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: to double him unless you just want to take Dallas Turner,

694
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: who looks like he grew up on Jupiter, doesn't look

695
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: like he really came from the same planet we do.

696
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: If you want to.

697
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: Turn him loose, be my guest point being Will Anderson

698
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: by ten miles has got the best shot as a

699
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: defensive player this year. But if it's not him, I

700
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: don't think it'll be anybody. But if it is somebody

701
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: Will McDonald Dallas Turner, we'll see some bold projections and

702
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: predictions tonight, though very well done. Long Bay Beach in

703
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: Turks and Caicos, a place that we have not taken

704
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: the show yet, but I want to one day.

705
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully in the very near future.

706
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: Hashtag management they're watching us tonight in Long Beach Bay,

707
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: Long Bay, Beach walland Tennessee is tuned in. Look at

708
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: the disrespect, just the index finger holding up the post.

709
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: And Ogden, Utah, where they filmed some scenes from Dumb

710
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: and Dumber. I'm told they're tuned in as well. Underrated

711
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: quarterbacks is next up. I think we had a question

712
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: about it, and I'm glad because I was already I

713
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: was already planning on doing a segment about this, So

714
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: let me tee up the questions. So let me give

715
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: credit where it's due. John said, we all know about CJ.

716
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 2: Stroud and Bryce Young. Who are some underrated quarterbacks that

717
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: you think we should keep an eye on.

718
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm listening from Salt Lake City, Utah, back to back,

719
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City.

720
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: And Ogden, Utah. Very much in the house tonight we

721
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: talked about the utes. So good for us and good

722
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: for you. Aidan O'Connell to shift entirely east west Lafiat, Indiana.

723
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: To be exact.

724
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: Aiden O'Connell at Purdue. He's been there forever, but he

725
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: does not get a lot of national run. But what

726
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: if I told you blind resume time. I got a

727
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: guy who threw well. He was on a team he

728
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: missed one game last year. His team threw for three

729
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five point four yards per game. He

730
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 2: had two plus touchdowns in eight games last year, including

731
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: the last six of the season. He's a seventy one

732
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: point six percent completion percentage guy. Last year, you would say,

733
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: who is that?

734
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: That's not brighth young, is it?

735
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: But you would start to whisper is it one of

736
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: those elite names I hear all the time. No, man,

737
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: it's Aidan O'Connell at Purdue. These people think they're going

738
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: to win the Big Ten West this year in a

739
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: large part due to Aiden O'Connell.

740
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: You know.

741
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: That's why that game against Penn State in Week one

742
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: is so important. They were tied with like everyone for

743
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: second in the division last year. But imagine if they

744
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: beat Penn State. It's a three point spread. Guys, it's

745
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 2: not insurmountable. If they beat Penn State in Week one,

746
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: number one, it'll be due to him, and then Aidan

747
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: O'Connell will have this spotlight win and they'll be off

748
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 2: to the races there because the rest of their schedule

749
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 2: is very, very workable, and all of a sudden you'll

750
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: be tuning into Purdue. Those of you who played the

751
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: fantasy college football game, you'll be fighting over broken glass

752
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 2: to try and get Aidan O'Connell. That's a guy who

753
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 2: should already be a household name. He is to folks

754
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: like us, like the diehard crowd's not hearing any breaking

755
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 2: news here but not casuolves. But the college casual college

756
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 2: football crowd probably doesn't know him as much as they should.

757
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 2: I think you will this year. Jaren Hall is another

758
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: name that I want you to know about. He's a

759
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: little bit older now, he's at Brigham Young. He's already

760
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: done his mission. I think he's a double red shirt guy.

761
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: So he's like in his twenty three to twenty four

762
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 2: year range. I mean, he's going to be a twenty

763
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 2: five year old guy by the time he gets to

764
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: the NFL. He is excellent at extending plays. Everyone's drunk

765
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: on that now always should have been, but everyone's drunk

766
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: on that now. You watch Pat Mahomes and you want

767
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: someone who can do what he does. I'm not comparing

768
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 2: the two, mind you. I'm just saying that characteristic is there.

769
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: He's a very good thrower on the run, doesn't just

770
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: chuck it up, doesn't just run around and gain you

771
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: three yards running ninety yards to do it. He's got

772
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: plus arm strength, not elite arm strength. But he's got

773
00:35:55,080 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: the lowest career interception percentage in Brigham Young history, even

774
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: lower than Zach Wilson, So that's always a positive. He's

775
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: a leader, good decision maker. They all talk glowingly about him.

776
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 2: But here's the thing you need to know about Jaren Hall.

777
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: When you look at Brigham Young's schedule this year, they're

778
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: going to be in the national spotlight.

779
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: So frequently.

780
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: They play Baylor, they play at Oregon, they play Notre

781
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: Dame in Las Vegas, and did you know Arkansas goes

782
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: to Brigham.

783
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 1: Young this year.

784
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: You know, my thoughts on the scheduling process at Arkansas

785
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: far be it for me to tell them how to

786
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: run their athletic department, But my goodness, yes. So with

787
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: that in mind, mister Hall is going to be on

788
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: the national radar a lot this year. I think he

789
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 2: stands a good chance of shining. And therefore, don't get

790
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: caught being the last person to know about Jaron Hall.

791
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: Phil Drikovic at Boston College was good last year and

792
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 2: then he got hurt, and then Boston College's hopes and

793
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 2: dreams went down the drain with that, and they kind

794
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: of disappeared off any kind of regional the national radar

795
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: once he got hurt. He unlike some of these other guys,

796
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: he's not one of those six one to two hundred

797
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: kind of guys.

798
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: He's big.

799
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: He's like Ben Roethlisberger, kind of six five, two fifteen.

800
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 2: And he's compared a lot to Roethlisberger because he can

801
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: run the ball a little bit, burly, lumbering. These are

802
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 2: adjectives that are used to describe his game. Eight rushing

803
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 2: touchdowns past two seasons. The thing that's keeping more people

804
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 2: from talking about him and his team this upcoming year

805
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: is offensive line and defensive line are a big question

806
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: at Boston College. But I think it lends well to

807
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: this particular segment because within your COVID back and him

808
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: being a senior, it's his contract year for all intents

809
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: and purposes, He's got his wide receiver stable back, so

810
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 2: if nothing else, they'll throw the ball a lot up there.

811
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: Third season under half Lee, they need to get some

812
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: traction this year.

813
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: I think they'll do it this year, and I think

814
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: he'll obviously be a big reason why. So he's not

815
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: a new name. He's been there for a long time.

816
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 2: But I think he's an underrated name. And last, but

817
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: not least, this is one that hardly anyone knows about yet.

818
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: You really got to be following the transfer portal close

819
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 2: to know about cameraon ward. But that was a guy

820
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: who was running the triple option in high school. We

821
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: talked about him. I think last week, ran the triple

822
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 2: option in high school, had one offer out of high school,

823
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: took it. He goes to Incarnate Word and I think

824
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: he was so he won the Jerry Rice Award, which

825
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: is the top freshman of the year, was offensive player

826
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 2: in the conference, offensive player of the Year last year,

827
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: and so he goes to Washington State. Now he put

828
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: up big numbers at Incarnate Word eleven games of three

829
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 2: hundred plus passing yards last year, had four plus passing

830
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: touchdowns in eight games. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, well,

831
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 2: that's FCS competition. Now he's going to play Power five competition. Fine, fine,

832
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 2: think that. What I'm saying is he was the buzz

833
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 2: name in the off season. He was the buzz name.

834
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: He was the guy that a lot of folks kept

835
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: whispering about to us he was the one where everyone

836
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: else wanted to talk about. Caleb Williams. Everyone knows Caleb Williams.

837
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: Everyone knows Spencer Rattler. They kept saying, Hey, the kid

838
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 2: that just came out of incarnate Word. You may not

839
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: know how to find that school on a map, but

840
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 2: you need to pay attention to him because as head

841
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: coach there, Eric Morris, for those of you interested, went

842
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 2: to Washington State as the offensive coordinator. So you get

843
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: the head coach and play caller from the school, you

844
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 2: get the quarterback from that school. They obviously had something

845
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 2: clicking there and now they go to Washington State, which

846
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: is just one of a number of reasons why when

847
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: you look at the PAC twelve schedule, you don't fear

848
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: Washington State, but you don't have a clue about Washington State.

849
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: And you could look and you could see you just

850
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: had a thousand mile road trip and then oh, I

851
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: got to go to Pullman, Washington this week, and you

852
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 2: have no clue what you're facing at quarterback. It could

853
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: be the cam Ward peaked at the FCS level. That

854
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: could be the case, or it could be is Trey

855
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 2: Lance and ends up being a first round NFL draft pick,

856
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: and you're listening to story after story about how this

857
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: once overlooked player from it Incarnate Word went to Washington's

858
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 2: they lit it up.

859
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be the first.

860
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 2: Time someone did that there, and all of a sudden

861
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 2: he's a household name. Everyone can say that after the fact.

862
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 2: My point is he could be that no one knows

863
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: it yet, and you got teams going in there totally

864
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: unprepared to face that kind of talent. At the very least,

865
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 2: he's a guy to watch, So Aidan O'Connell, Jared Hall, Filder,

866
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: Covid cam Ward.

867
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: Those are four underrated quarterbacks. Good pace right here.

868
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: I wonder, as I say hey to the live chat,

869
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: I wonder what the over under is for the show tonight?

870
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: Do you ever think about that? I may not have told

871
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: you guys this on the air. Director Colin and producer

872
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 2: Jesse have a number they set I don't know it.

873
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 2: They set an over under, and they have to work

874
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: the over under Splight prices right. They have to work

875
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 2: the over under to a number to where one's willing

876
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 2: to take over total run time for the show, and

877
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: one takes the under I don't know who takes what.

878
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 2: I don't know what the number is, but boy, I

879
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: hope you took the over tonight, which every one of

880
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 2: you took the over your cashing tonight, because we went

881
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 2: thirdwenty eight minutes on the Thursday show, and it's like

882
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 2: I violated the birthright of the audience. I've never seen

883
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 2: so many comments complain about the length of a show.

884
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: And the thing about it is that used to be

885
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: an average link of a Late Kick Live episode, but

886
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: lately we've been going an hour because there's so much

887
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: to talk about, so thirty eight minutes seems so out

888
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: of place. Look, you don't have to tell me twice,

889
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 2: you know, you told me like a thousand times.

890
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: It's seven forty one right now.

891
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: And I still got a couple things left to talk about,

892
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 2: So you're welcome. I'm happy to talk as long as

893
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: you're happy to listen. There are some questions about position groupings,

894
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 2: and so I just picked one.

895
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: I could have picked the one out of a million.

896
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: Here Miguel said, what are the teams you see with

897
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 2: the deepest position groups? Checking in from Corpus Christy, Texas.

898
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: Bet they know Selena down there had an argument about

899
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: Selena this week. I bet I can quote more of

900
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 2: that movie than anyone in Corpus Christy. I'm just gonna

901
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: put it out there. All right, Let's talk about Clemson's

902
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 2: defensive line. This is not a new headline Clemson having

903
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 2: a deep defensive line, but see they struggled quote unquote

904
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 2: last year, and anyone buying into them being back and

905
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: being a national championship contender this year believes that in

906
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 2: part because this may be the best defensive line in football. Obviously,

907
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 2: I think it is the best defensive line in football.

908
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: They got Brian Brazi back from injury. They got Miles Murphy.

909
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 2: Those are two first round, surefire first round guys if

910
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: they're healthy. Tyler Davis is there, he's a senior. Xavier

911
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 2: Thomas is in that mix. Here's how deep they are.

912
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 2: I saw Brad Crawford write this the other day. They're

913
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 2: so deep that kJ Henry who is not a bust.

914
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 2: He is a fifth year, former five star player. He's

915
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: a rotational guy. Here again, I want to stress he's

916
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 2: not a bust. They're just so deep. That's the quality

917
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 2: of player that they rotate. So Clemson, you know when

918
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: they've won those titles. One of the hallmarks has always

919
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 2: been defensive line. It gets overshadowed sometimes because they happen

920
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: to have names like Deshaun Watson or Trevor Lawrence. Defensive

921
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 2: line was what was getting done for him. If they

922
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 2: do it this year, it'll be because a defensive line

923
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: got it done for him. In Tuscaloosa, the linebacker room

924
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 2: in Alabama's about as disgusting as it gets. I think

925
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: they have the two best linebackers in college football. They

926
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 2: got Will Anderson and they got Dallas Turner. I know

927
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 2: everyone agrees on Anderson. I think by season's end, you're

928
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 2: gonna look at fifteen there and think he's right there

929
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: with Will Anderson. They are two phenomenal players. Chris Braswell,

930
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 2: a former five star guy, is third on this list

931
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 2: and would be a premier pass rusher on any other team.

932
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 2: That's just how deep they are. But I didn't say

933
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 2: edge rusher. I said a linebacker room period. Henry Tootoo

934
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: decided to return this year. But also Jalen Moody is

935
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 2: still there. And then I want you to just look

936
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: at the list, and if you're listening on podcasts, let

937
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: me read you some of these names. Deontay Lawson is

938
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: just there. Kendrick Blacksheer, who's one of the most impressive

939
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: physical specimens you'll see in person. He's got calves roughly

940
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 2: the size of this laptop screen. He's there, des Moy

941
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 2: kenn is there. And then there's a name way down.

942
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,479
Speaker 2: This list won't be down near the bottom for long.

943
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 2: Jahad Campbell was a guy who rocketed up the recruiting

944
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: rankings this past cycle, kind of like Will Anderson did.

945
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: Remember Will Anderson if you follow recruiting, he just every

946
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven sports player ranking update in that cycle,

947
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: he kept rocketing up and he ended up a top

948
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 2: ten player. Oh, by the way, there were some folks

949
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: who claimed bias or homersm you don't hear so.

950
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 1: Much from those folks anymore.

951
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: Jahad Campbell did that this last cycle, and Johidd Campbell

952
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: ends up being a top ten guy. When we talked

953
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: to Nick Saban on that signing day show, he said

954
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: some things about Jahad Campbell before he had ever practiced

955
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: in Tuscaloosa, like I've heard him very few times refer

956
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: to a freshman as so, Yeah, Jaha Campbell's just kind

957
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 2: of there that linebacker room's nasty. The offensive equivalent of

958
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 2: this is the Ohio State wide receiver room.

959
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: I want you to imagine this.

960
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 2: I know so many of your programs out there are

961
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: looking for a all conference wide receiver, a All American

962
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 2: wide receiver, or on all American wide receiver. Imagine watching

963
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 2: Chris ol Lave and Garrett Wilson and Jamison Williams relief

964
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 2: you want to count the transfer portal all walk out

965
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: the door in a year and still knowing you have

966
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 2: by far the deepest wide receiver room.

967
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: In college football.

968
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 2: Imagine watching all that talent leave and saying, it's okay

969
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 2: because we've got Jackson Smith and Jigba. It's okay because

970
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: we've got Julian Fleming in Mecca Agbuka. Remember those names,

971
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior. We just got those names still here.

972
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 2: If they need extra money up there, I've listened to

973
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: Ryan Day talk about how they need thirteen some odd

974
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 2: million dollars to keep the team together.

975
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: And in the.

976
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 2: Nil era, hey sell tickets to practice because some of

977
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: the best competition that you could see in this sport

978
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 2: all year is happening in Columbus, Ohio. On a random

979
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 2: Tuesday in the wide receiver room and in that wide

980
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: receiver position grouping. That is a collection of talent the

981
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: likes of which you will rarely see in this sport.

982
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 2: Bamas had it recently with all those guys, and Ohio

983
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 2: State's got it now, and outside of that, I don't

984
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 2: think you see that anywhere. You can count any position

985
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: group anywhere. That kind of collection of talent after losing

986
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 2: who they just lost is amazing. Let's kind of stay

987
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 2: on the offensive side, but let's go specifically to tight end.

988
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 2: The Georgia tight end room is nasty. It's loaded too.

989
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,959
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a close second here. Think Utah

990
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 2: fans would have an argument, but I don't think it's

991
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 2: particularly close. Let's go back a couple of recruiting cycles.

992
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 2: Since we're talking about recruiting cycles of years past.

993
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: Remember the year.

994
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: Darnell Washington and Eric Gilbert were coming out, and how

995
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 2: there was this there was this widely held belief that

996
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 2: they weren't going to play for the same school.

997
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: That's not rare.

998
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: You hear that from time to time premier players they

999
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 2: want to go be their own player, they want to

1000
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 2: go stand out somewhere whatever.

1001
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: Well, that was thought about those two.

1002
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 2: So Darnel Washington goes to Georgia, Eric Gilbert goes to LSU,

1003
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: and then he was at Florida for like five minutes,

1004
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 2: but then he ends up Georgia. Anyway, my point is,

1005
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: imagine telling yourself two years ago the top two players

1006
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: in that position, Darnell Washington and Eric Gilbert are going

1007
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 2: to be playing on the same team a couple of

1008
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: years from now, and neither of them are going to

1009
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 2: be considered the best at their position because of a

1010
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: guy that at that point no one even knows exists

1011
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 2: named Rock Bowers is going to come in and outshine

1012
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 2: all of them. That's the status or the status depending

1013
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 2: on where you reside from that George's tight end room's

1014
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 2: in right now.

1015
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 1: You want to know about depth.

1016
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: How many of you know the name Oscar Delp Georgia

1017
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 2: fans excluded. How many of the rest of you out there,

1018
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 2: If you're in Amarillo, Texas, have you ever heard of

1019
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: Oscar Delp? No chances are he probably start for your

1020
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 2: program and be a very very high level contributor at

1021
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 2: tight end for your program. He's their fourth best tight

1022
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: end right now, and in time he's going to be

1023
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: a really good one. I think he's really good. Now,

1024
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 2: it's just how deep they are. So Georgia's tight end room, yeah,

1025
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 2: the envy of the rest.

1026
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: Of the country. And last, but not least, let's go

1027
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: to Texas because the running back room there. It's kind

1028
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: of a different deal when you're talking running backs.

1029
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: If you've got b Jon Robinson, he kind of makes

1030
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the argument.

1031
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: B Jeon Robinson is a guy.

1032
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: Who most everyone considers the top running back in the country,

1033
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 2: or at the very least number one, number two. I've

1034
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 2: got him number one if that matters to you at all.

1035
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 2: But if you look past him, where Shawn Johnson is

1036
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 2: still there averaged about six yards per carry last year

1037
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: and a guy that I'm sky high on that really

1038
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 2: hasn't gotten to be a feature guy yet. But I

1039
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: think Will wants Bjon Robinson exits the premises is Keelan

1040
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 2: Robinson transferred Malabama last year. I think Kielan Robinson is

1041
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 2: a really good player. So they go three deep there

1042
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 2: with really really high level guys. Those position groups if

1043
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 2: you want to look past and you can look at

1044
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: Jonathan Brooks.

1045
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 1: Those position groups.

1046
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 2: Though, when you talk about conference championship races, and when

1047
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 2: you talk about looking at over underwin totals and how

1048
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: this sport's played at the highest level, a.

1049
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: Lot of one possession games, a lot of.

1050
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: Like back and forth, and you're trying to do the

1051
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: win win loss, win loss, You're trying to map out

1052
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: someone's season. If you would do nothing more then just

1053
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 2: go find the most loaded position groups and just met

1054
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 2: disproportionately on those teams. I think you'd be shocked at

1055
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: how profitable it would turn out for you, especially at

1056
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: the water cooler. Now, if you're facing off against odds

1057
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: makers in Vegas, that's one thing, But at the water cooler, yeah, yeah,

1058
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 2: so know all those names. Okay, I'm glad where we

1059
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: are right now. Clemson running back room, underrated, you know, Dustin,

1060
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 2: I just happened to look over to live chat. You're

1061
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 2: right about that. Don't think they're better than Texas, but

1062
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 2: you're right about that.

1063
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: We have a big problem. So Colin, I'll tell you

1064
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: what you know.

1065
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't even know if what we're about to talk

1066
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 2: about here is going to end up on the YouTube channel.

1067
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: We'll just make a decision after the show. But this

1068
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 2: is going to be a different couple of minutes here

1069
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 2: than you are used to seeing or listening to on

1070
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 2: the show. We got a big problem in this country

1071
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 2: right now. And it's not inflation, and it's not divisiveness,

1072
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 2: and it's not the news media. It is fall weddings.

1073
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 2: It's not the first time I've had to speak about this.

1074
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 2: I had hoped it was going to be the last time.

1075
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 2: But as you see on the screen, I was blindsided

1076
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 2: by treachery by someone I thought was a friend this week.

1077
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: Here's what the tweet says.

1078
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 2: I was ambushed in person with a fall wedding invitation,

1079
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 2: complete with the it's only.

1080
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: One Saturday line. This happened yesterday.

1081
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: I'm not going to out the person, but they have

1082
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 2: been given advanced warning that this is going to be

1083
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: a topic on tonight's show. I'm tired of it. I

1084
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 2: don't know what else to tell you. I'm tired of it.

1085
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 2: I put that out there and I got a lot

1086
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 2: of responses. We're going to go through a lot of

1087
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 2: them in just a second. But it just it's happened

1088
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: to so many of our brothers and sisters at Pete State.

1089
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: It finally hit me now I am in the fortuitous

1090
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 2: position where I'm one of the few people in this

1091
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: great country of ours and it can reasonably look someone

1092
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 2: in the eyes and say I can't come to your

1093
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 2: Saturday wedding.

1094
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: I got to work that day and.

1095
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 2: Smile as I say it, because it's true. Truthfully, that's

1096
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 2: part of the reason I got in this business. Yeah

1097
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 2: I love college football, and yeah I love the atmospheres,

1098
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 2: and yeah I love the.

1099
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: Sport and blah blah blah.

1100
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 2: I just wanted an excuse to get out of Saturday

1101
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 2: weddings in the fall. So I've got that too. So

1102
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 2: it's it's a win win classic win win win. In

1103
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 2: that case, as Michael Scott would say, we all win.

1104
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 2: What are your problems? What is wrong with some of you?

1105
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 2: And here's the thing about it. If you noticed what

1106
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 2: I said there in the tweet, It's one thing to

1107
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 2: be ignorant, it's another thing to just be malicious.

1108
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: It is malice the most.

1109
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: The pressure that I was under to quote Coreene Brown,

1110
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 2: go geta. It is malice the most, the pressure I

1111
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 2: was under when I was presented that. Now I said no,

1112
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 2: I spiked it right back in their face.

1113
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: But if you're just.

1114
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: Ignorant and you don't know any better, and you schedule

1115
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 2: your wedding for a Saturday in the fall.

1116
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: That's one thing.

1117
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 2: We all make mistakes in life, But when you do

1118
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: you actually have the gall and the audacity to say

1119
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 2: it's only one Saturday, that is premeditating. That's like the

1120
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: difference between me accidentally dropping a two by four on

1121
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: your head versus me drop kicking you off a cliff.

1122
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 2: If I drop kick you off the edge of a cliff,

1123
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 2: I know good and well what I'm doing. If you

1124
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: tell someone it's only one Saturday, that means you know

1125
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 2: good and well what you're doing and you're just not

1126
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 2: a good person. I don't know what else to tell you.

1127
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 2: You're not a good person. If you do that, well,

1128
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 2: let me scratch that. If you get mad at people

1129
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 2: for rejecting the invitation, then I really question your character.

1130
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 2: You can have whatever you want to, just don't expect

1131
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 2: people to rearrange their lives for you. So I know

1132
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 2: it's always a shock when people take this stuff seriously.

1133
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 2: You know, after all, it's only one Saturday. Well, before

1134
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 2: we look at some of your responses, I want you

1135
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: to imagine something.

1136
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: It's only one Saturday, after all.

1137
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 2: I want you to go back to October ninth last year,

1138
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 2: one Saturday, by the way, and I want you to imagine,

1139
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 2: because I know someone someone out there was in this predicament.

1140
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 2: Imagine driving to a wedding around noon as Oklahoma is

1141
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 2: furiously storming back on Texas at the Cotton Bowl, and

1142
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 2: you've got a field being stormed. You don't see it,

1143
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 2: mind you, because you're driving to some bootleg wedding, and

1144
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 2: then the wedding starts, probably about three or four o'clock,

1145
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 2: Penn State versus Iowa State or Iowa Iowa upset when

1146
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 2: Iowa storms the field. You don't see it because you're

1147
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 2: at a wedding. It's reception time, just about the time

1148
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 2: A and M's taking down Alabama as about a three

1149
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 2: touchdown underdog, third field storming of the day. But you're

1150
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 2: at a wedding reception somewhere. It's only one Saturday. What

1151
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 2: could happen in one Saturday history? That's what can happen

1152
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 2: in one Saturday. Statistically, your marriage may be history in

1153
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 2: a couple of years. But I have only one time,

1154
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 2: maybe in a generation, that I could experience a Saturday

1155
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: like that. So yeah, it's only one Saturday. It's everything.

1156
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 2: We get about twelve of them a year, everything to us.

1157
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 2: Fortunately we have a sizeable audience on the show Peate State,

1158
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 2: far and wide. I just told you we had a

1159
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: viewer in Serbia earlier tonight, so I took it to

1160
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 2: you and you came through. I wasn't necessarily looking for replies.

1161
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 2: I just wanted to vent, but you gave them to me.

1162
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 2: I don't want to waste these, so I'm just going

1163
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 2: to read some of them to you. Reply number one,

1164
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 2: don't make me choose between football and your wedding.

1165
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: You won't like the results. Paid state material.

1166
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 2: Completely agree a reply number two. Anyone's selfish enough to

1167
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: get married on a fall Saturday, isn't ready for marriage.

1168
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 2: I'm saying I couldn't have put it any better, so

1169
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 2: Joe did. Third response these people. There are people rather

1170
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 2: in the world who will do evil things like this,

1171
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 2: but Tennessee baseball gets called class list. Look, you're round

1172
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 2: in first, you throw up the middle finger. Maybe you

1173
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 2: drop some trash on the field every now and then.

1174
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 2: That is child's play compared to scheduling a wedding on

1175
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 2: a fall Saturday. Completely agree again, could not it better myself?

1176
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 2: What about this Austin with a sage quote. Here, a

1177
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 2: wise person once told me at a tailgate, fifty percent

1178
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 2: of marriages and in divorce, and the rest of them

1179
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 2: get married in the spring. Shakespeare himself could not have

1180
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 2: put it any better. I doubt he dealt with this too.

1181
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 2: Nick said, tell them that statistics show this will only

1182
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 2: be their first marriage. So you're going to game that

1183
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 2: will only be played once. And you know what, that's

1184
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 2: not just a joke. He's right, I only get one

1185
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 2: shot to see these games. They don't run replays in

1186
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 2: the sport. Everything that happens on a Saturday is happening

1187
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 2: once and never again. And Nick's just he's just citing statistics.

1188
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 2: The divorce rate in this country right at fifty percent.

1189
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 2: So odds are you're gonna have more weddings than I'm

1190
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,240
Speaker 2: gonna have opportunities to watch this game. Tracy, though, tuned

1191
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,720
Speaker 2: in and chimed in. She said, as a wedding planner

1192
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: and a football fan, people.

1193
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: Make this mistake all too often.

1194
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 2: Even if they know they're team's schedule and they're on

1195
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 2: a bye, if there's a big game that day, or

1196
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 2: even a close game, they're gonna lose their guests to

1197
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 2: the nearest TV. This probably was the most important reply

1198
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 2: because we got someone in the belly of the beast,

1199
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 2: someone that actually lives inside the some cases fraudulent wedding

1200
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 2: complex in our country. Tracy said, I'm a wedding planner,

1201
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: and even I'm smart enough to know you people shouldn't

1202
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 2: be scheduling these things on Saturdays in the fall. And also,

1203
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 2: let me touch on something Tracy said, there some of

1204
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 2: you think you find a loophole. You know what, since

1205
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 2: we were transitioning, and I'll probably want to use this

1206
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 2: as a clip. Some of you think you find a

1207
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: loophole when you schedule your wedding on the week where

1208
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 2: your team has a bye This is a great illusion.

1209
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 2: The great myth in college football is that bye weeks exist.

1210
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: There is no bye week.

1211
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 2: Guys, unless one hundred percent of your invitation list roots

1212
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 2: for the same team. Not everyone in that crowd has

1213
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 2: a team they root for that is on a bye week.

1214
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 2: So is it selfish in a word, yes, We continue

1215
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,479
Speaker 2: with the replies. I'm just glad she pointed that out

1216
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 2: Wright said, quote, it's only one Saturday. Unquote coming from

1217
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 2: a guy who doesn't realize how often he's going to

1218
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 2: hear it's only one Saturday for the rest of his

1219
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 2: life after agreeing to a fall wedding. This is another

1220
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: very very sage point. What kind of slippery slope as

1221
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 2: a man are you setting yourself up on if you

1222
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 2: agree to the philosophy that, oh, it's only one Saturday.

1223
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 2: You know, that's kind of like back in the day

1224
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 2: when I used to argue that I only did one

1225
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 2: thing wrong, and my dad would come back and said,

1226
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 2: if I baked an entire pot of brownies, here a

1227
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,479
Speaker 2: pan of brownies, And I said, there's just a little bit,

1228
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 2: just a pinch of dog droppings in there. Are you

1229
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 2: gonna eat the brownies? I knew what the answer was

1230
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 2: A very good point, and this is a very good point.

1231
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 2: By right, we continue, I had my wedding in the

1232
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 2: fall on a Friday. I'm going to stop and I'm

1233
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 2: going to repeat that sentence because I want everyone to

1234
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: pay attention, because this is the way it should be.

1235
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 2: Forget about how it is, this is the way it

1236
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 2: should be. I had my wedding in the fall on

1237
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 2: a Friday. Then we had a huge party the day

1238
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: after to watch Ohio State penn State Plan a wedding

1239
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 2: to include the game when when I think this probably

1240
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 2: should hang somewhere in our studio, no one myself included,

1241
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 2: is anti marriage. Quite the opposite. We fully support the

1242
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 2: institution of marriage, and no one's against fall weddings period

1243
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 2: Friday wedding.

1244
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: Can you tell me.

1245
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 2: I want you to honestly look me in the eye

1246
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 2: and tell me this doesn't sound like a better plan

1247
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,919
Speaker 2: than a Saturday wedding. And if you're worried that people

1248
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 2: can't get off work, let me spoil the ending for you.

1249
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 2: I can assure you about ninety percent of the people

1250
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 2: that you're inviting would much rather burn one of their

1251
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 2: vacation days and get your wedding out of the way

1252
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 2: on Friday instead of having to waste a Saturday of

1253
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: theirs that would be dedicated to things they actually love,

1254
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 2: but instead they have to spend it in a chapel

1255
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 2: or in ninety five degree heat somewhere. No Friday weddings

1256
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 2: normalize Friday weddings in the fall, or for that matter.

1257
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 2: I think we also had another comment about the other option.

1258
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, any options better than Saturday. But this is

1259
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 2: why I had my fall wedding on a Sunday morning,

1260
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 2: says another person here. My wife and I watched our

1261
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 2: game the night before, and we watched football every year

1262
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 2: on our anniversary. Notice these people are talking about anniversary.

1263
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 2: They're still together. I read somewhere that of weddings that

1264
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 2: happened on Saturdays in the fall and in divorce, and

1265
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 2: I did it fifteen seconds of research and couldn't find

1266
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 2: anything to.

1267
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: Argue against that. So I'm just gonna assume that's true.

1268
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 2: How about Kay Charles here, my wife wanted a fall wedding.

1269
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 2: I said that would be fine, but she had to

1270
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 2: be okay with the fact everyone would be watching the

1271
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 2: Georgia game at the reception.

1272
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: We got Mayor read in June. Just be up front,

1273
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: just be reasonable.

1274
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 2: You know what warmed my heart as I was scrolling

1275
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 2: through these replies. There were so many of the females

1276
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 2: in our audience that were arguing fervently in our favor.

1277
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 2: So don't think for a second that this is just

1278
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 2: like a Battle of the sexes sort of deal.

1279
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no, that's not the case

1280
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: at all.

1281
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 2: There are plenty in our female audience full on paid

1282
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 2: state material, including Tracy a wedding planner who said no, no, no, no,

1283
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 2: don't do it. Just don't do it. But if you

1284
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 2: need help, if you still need some assistance here, that's okay.

1285
