1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Let's just be real with each other. We were at

2
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: the Ohio State Michigan game two years ago sideway snow,

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: and even though I grew up in Georgia, I've been

4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: around sub freezing temperatures before. But there is something about

5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: forty four degrees and moderate to heavy rain in the

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest in late November that chills one to the bone.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: And I found myself exposed to it last night. Just

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: me and the Eye Josh out there battling against the elements, well, me,

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: the Eye, Josh and Michael Pennix battling against the elements.

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: No rain, damage to the phone. Got some great stuff

11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: in the Instagram story. Go check it out. We are

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: jam packed hyatape perplexed downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Late Kickers Live

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: for Sunday, November nineteenth, the year of our Lower twenty

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: twenty three. We're perplexed as a people. Tough to say,

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 1: but it's tougher to imagine that we have not had

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Volcanic Saturday yet. Volcanic Saturday is It's the Saturday where

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: everything goes boom essentially, and it hasn't happened. And some

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: people around this office are starting to wonder if it's

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: going to happen. I myself am not. I am still

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: quite confident that there are some twists and turns in

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: the old college football playoff road before we actually get there.

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: I got full Week twelve reaction on the show tonight,

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Florida State lost Jordan Travis. I got some thoughts on

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: that as I've listened to other people's thoughts on that.

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Maybe that was my first mistake actually listening to other

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: people's thoughts on that. So we're going to talk about that.

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: There was speaking of volcanoes. Just as big a natural

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: disaster as one could have on a football field happened

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: in Auburn, Alabama yesterday. Historic proportions that upset took on.

30
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: We will discuss. We will discuss Lincoln Riley and his

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: failures at USC this year. We will add out some

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: best bets. I will give you some tales from Corvallis,

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: Oregon last night. There is no easy way to get

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: from Corvallas, Oregon after ten pm to Nashville, Tennessee by

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: eight am. Just no easy way to do it. Well,

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: we figured out a way. They're watching us in Norwalk, Connecticut, Anderson,

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Flatonia Texas and Salem, Oregon, where I spent

38
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: a wonderful Friday night. Thank you to our friends there

39
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: in Salem. We got a show tonight, Obviously, we got

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: to show Tuesday night. Obviously Thursday, I have it on

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: reliably good authority. It is Thanksgiving, and I will not

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: be in Nashville. I will be down in Harris County, Georgia,

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: So we will not have a show Thursday. But everything

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: else is on schedule. I'm gonna let you know if

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: you can already tell from social where we're headed for

46
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: the tour this week, in a few minutes. But first

47
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: I thought we should lead the show with what it

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: seemed like everyone was talking about as the dust settled

49
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: last night. And also, this is going to be a

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: huge talking point when the Playoff Selection Committee hands out

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: their rankings Tuesday. It will be felt in the JP pole.

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: But this is one of those times where I'm going

53
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: to tell you doesn't matter what the JP pole says,

54
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what a committee says. So let's dive into

55
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: this colin. Here's the endpoint. So Florida State ends up

56
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: running over North Alabama last night, although it started a

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: little treacherously, and then we saw Jordan Travis, the starting

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: quarterback there, go down with a season ending injury. Everyone

59
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: saw it on TV. We're not showing footage of it

60
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. So you hate to see that for

61
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. Number one is obvious, you don't

62
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: want to see a dude get hurt. And number two,

63
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: we'll stay tuned for number two because that's the crux

64
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: of what my argument on this is. It was crazy.

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: I was in the Oregon State press box last night

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: when this happened. I was actually playing with Herb Street's

67
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: dog when this happened, and you could hear you could

68
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: hear like reactions around the press boxes. People started to

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: see it because it's FSU North Alabama, so it's not

70
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: actually or it's not exactly on the main screens all

71
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: over the place. And so I watched it and then immediately,

72
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you have any kind of decorum about yourself,

73
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: your first concern is with the player. But inevitably people's

74
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: minds started to drift to what does this mean? Large scale?

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: What does this mean bigger picture? Which is fair, it's

76
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: not callous, it's just it's the way it is. It's fair.

77
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: So what does it mean. That's what I want to

78
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: ask you. I want to gather as many opinions on

79
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: this as I can, because I got a really strong one.

80
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: I feel really strongly about this one thing. I know,

81
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: without a shadow of it out it. Florida State ends

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: this season undefeated. Florida State ought to be in that playoff.

83
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't care if I'm starting for him at quarterback.

84
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: I detest the concept of a committee of people gathering

85
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: together and deciding they know for sure the value of

86
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: a football player and how he benefits your team and

87
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: without him, what your team is. I can't stand that.

88
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: I really think it's time to emphasize ahead of time

89
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: before these next two weeks. If they do win these games,

90
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: the difference in Vegas versus Merrit, the difference in power

91
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: rating versus Merrit. I'm someone who sits here every Tuesday

92
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: night and hands you my own personal power ratings. I

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: call it the JP pull. It turns the internet into

94
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: a complete psych ward. I'm probably not gonna have Florida

95
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: State in my top ten Tuesday night. However, that's irrelevant

96
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: because if they continue to win, and I'm a playoff

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,559
Speaker 1: committee member, they better be top four and the reason

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: is because you have no clue how valuable Jordan Travis is.

99
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,559
Speaker 1: Ever since that stuff happened in twenty fourteen with Ohio State,

100
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: where they are down not their top quarterback but also

101
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: their backup quarterback and a third stringer leads them to

102
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: a national championship, ever since, we all saw that everything

103
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: that you think you know is irrelevant because no one

104
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: thought they knew that. They go in they completely bodybag

105
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Wisconsin on conference championship Saturday to sort of back their

106
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: way in seemingly to the playoff, when you all of

107
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: a sudden learn about card L Jones, and you should

108
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: have known about Zeke Elliott, but he made you remember

109
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: if you had forgotten about him. And they beat Alabama

110
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: and they beat Oregon and they win the title, and

111
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: it's like no one would have predicted a third string

112
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: quarterback could lead them to that. That's the whole point.

113
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you think you know. It matters

114
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: what's been earned on the field by a football team.

115
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: You can't sit there by the way and tell me, oh,

116
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: injuries are a part of football, which is accurate, But

117
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: then also look and say, well, this is tennis, this

118
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: is ping pong, this is golf. It's a solo sport.

119
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: It's not a solo sport. One player goes down, albeit

120
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: at the most important position. One player goes down. I

121
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: got twenty one others starting any given Saturday. It's a

122
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: team game. Don't tell me injuries part of the game,

123
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: but then completely change the way that you define merit

124
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: and the way that you select your teams from your committee.

125
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: Because football happened. You're telling me injuries part of the game. Well,

126
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: it's no different than a touchdown happening, or an interception happening.

127
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: An injury happen. But yeah it did. And you know what,

128
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: if they get their tails beat by Florida Saturday or

129
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: they lose to Louisville, different conversation. But if Florida State's undefeated, there,

130
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: I got no interest in a committee full of folks,

131
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: some of whom played, some of whom didn't, and I

132
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: don't really care if you did or not. I got

133
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: no interest in anyone telling me how valuable they think

134
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Travis was. If they lose a game, fine, wipe

135
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: them off the table. But if they don't, I am

136
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: not interested in that. What will Florida State, by the way,

137
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: do to replace Jordan Travis here. Tate Ronemaker is the

138
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: backup quarterback there. They were down thirteen to nothing to

139
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: North Alabama last night. Now keep in mind, this is

140
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: in the wake, sort of the immediate aftermath of us

141
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: watching New Mexico State just skull drag Auburn. You heard

142
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: that sentence, right, kids, New Mexico State skull drag Auburn.

143
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: So you're thinking anything can happen. And it's the most

144
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: deflating moment in the world to lose your starting quarterback

145
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: and you're down thirteen to oh and then they just

146
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: ran off fifty eight unanswered. I know they'll get no

147
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: credit for that because it it's like a glorified high

148
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: school team they're playing in relation to I thought that

149
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: was admirable. That's not easy to do against air. That's

150
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: not easy to do, and they did it. They go

151
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: to Florida this week. They're about a touchdown favorite, six

152
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: and a half to seven points. It's gonna be a battle.

153
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: In case you didn't notice, Florida's still got a pulls.

154
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: They hung thirty five I think on LSU a couple

155
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Now they gave up half a hundred,

156
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: but they hung thirty five on them. They pushed Missouri

157
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: to the wire last night. Graham Mertz is out, so

158
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a battle of backup quarterbacks this Saturday

159
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: in the swamp. Napier needs the win to get Bowl eligible.

160
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be must see, you could say, for the

161
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: wrong reasons. I get it, understand it's not preferable, but

162
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be mussy. But yeah, if you want my

163
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: opinion on that emphatically, if they're undefeated, yes, Florida State's

164
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: a playoff team. To me, we weren't there, believe it

165
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: or not. The Once Upon a Saturday Tour did not

166
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: go to Tallahassee to see North Alabama. We'll just we'll

167
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: have to catch them some other time. But let there

168
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: be no doubt where we're headed this Saturday. We've been

169
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: to this game two years in a row, and the

170
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: Once Upon a Saturday Tour is headed way up north

171
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: to ann Arbor, Michigan. Ohio State versus Michigan, Ryan Day

172
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: versus Jim check that Sharon Moore head coach on an

173
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: interim basis from Michigan. Obviously, we'll break this game down Tuesday.

174
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: This is a playoff game. Essentially, and you'll have another

175
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: one in a couple of weeks in Atlanta between Alabama

176
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: and Georgia. These are playoff games. They just don't have

177
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: the fancy well actually I think it's kind of bootleg

178
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: looking but the college Football Playoff sticker on it. But

179
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, these are playoff games. This

180
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: is going to be otherworldly in terms of hype and

181
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: build up, and it is already. I also have listened

182
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: to fans on both sides of the aisle here start

183
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: talking a little bit about how this is the last

184
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: version of this game as you've come to know it,

185
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: and they make a good point because what they're talking

186
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: about is when we expand to a twelve team playoff

187
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: and the Big Ten gets rid of divisions, you have

188
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: opportunities to see the game happen three times in a season,

189
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: which is lame as I don't know what, But you'd

190
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: have the regular season version, which as of now is

191
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: still slated to happen at the end of the regular season.

192
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about moving that, but

193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: let's just say for argument's sake, they keep it at

194
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: the end of November. Imagine a world where this year

195
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: For example, imagine the Big Ten this year, both of

196
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: them are undefeated. Imagine there are no divisions. The Big

197
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: Ten's rules are we just take the top two teams

198
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: for the conference title game. You'd have Ohio State Michigan

199
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: this Saturday. You'd have Ohio State Michigan again the next

200
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: week in Indianapolis, and then you'd very likely have them

201
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: again in the playoff where they could meet for a

202
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: third time, just the way God intended. Right, No, of

203
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: course not so. I don't know what the future holds.

204
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: But in the here and now, I know one of

205
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: them is going to win Saturday, and one of them's

206
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: probably going home when it comes to the college football

207
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: playoff picture. And it's always a pleasure to be there

208
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: As a youth who grew up in Columbus and not

209
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: the one in Ohio. I never thought I'd be able

210
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: to take that one in. Knew a lot about the

211
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Iron Bowl, didn't know much about Ohio State and Michigan.

212
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: Boy has that changed over the past two or three years.

213
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: So the once Upon a Saturday Tours headed up there.

214
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: The shirt is available as of tonight in pet statematerial

215
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: dot COM's store Beautiful. We expect to move significant numbers

216
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: of this shirt this week, and oh, by the way,

217
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: just a little Easter egg here in time for Christmas.

218
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: I have it on good authority that come Friday, Black

219
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: Friday in the shopping community, there may be something dropping

220
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: in the Peate State store which I will, in a

221
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: very by best man are called the best singular piece

222
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: of merchandise we will have ever provided just in time

223
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: for the Christmas season. We don't even use the word

224
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: holiday on the show. It is a straight up Christmas

225
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: product that we're dropping this Friday, not Saturday. Oh what

226
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: is happening in Lee County? I leave down there for

227
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: a couple of years, and all of a sudden, you

228
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: can't even get past New Mexico State. Auburn falls emphatically

229
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: to New Mexico State. Yesterday I had the eye Josh

230
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 1: in my hand. It was one of those things I

231
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: always tell you guys, this happens like two or three

232
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: times a year to me. A score pops up that

233
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: I haven't been watching. I was not glued to this game.

234
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: I had more pressing matters to attend to up in Oregon.

235
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: And so you refresh it, same score. You refresh it again,

236
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: same score, and You're just refreshed, refreshed, refreshed, cause what

237
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: this screen is telling me is thirty one to ten

238
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: New Mexico State as a twenty five and a half

239
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: point dog, just one outright by three touchdowns. That is

240
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: a forty seven and a half point differential final score

241
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: versus point spread. Obviously that can't have happened, right, it happened.

242
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. I'm going to though,

243
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: because it is here responsible to do a minute long segment.

244
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: This is the first loss Auburn's had to a non

245
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Power five since nineteen ninety one. Jesse, is that at home?

246
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: Or is that just period since nineteen ninety one? Thank you?

247
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: Jesse says he has no idea either way. It's bad. Obviously,

248
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: either way it's bad. This was not only the splattering

249
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: of the week, but you know, I have to do this.

250
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,239
Speaker 1: This was the Sarah McLaughlin special. This is a nightmare

251
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper in front of me. Hit

252
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,479
Speaker 1: it Colin. Auburn was out gained four hundred and fourteen

253
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: to two hundred and thirteen at the hands of New

254
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: Mexico State. They were out rushed two thirteen to sixty

255
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: five at the hands of New Mexico State at home?

256
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Did I mention this was in Jordan? Here? New Mexico

257
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: State had as many rushing yards as Auburn had total yards.

258
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: This is where it really gets bad. New Mexico State

259
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: four of four, twenty eight points in the red zone.

260
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: Auburn didn't even make it there. In their own building

261
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: against the team they paid one point eight five million

262
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: dollars to come in and face. We continue. Auburn had

263
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: two drives of twenty plus yards. That was it. The

264
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: whole game. Auburn had two plus drives of twenty plus yards.

265
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Auburn's defense allowed six passes of fifteen or more. Auburn's

266
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: defense allowed eight runs of ten or more. Imagine, if

267
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: you will. You're walking down the street and you see

268
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: someone and they ask you for some money, and you figure,

269
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: it's cold out here, it's the holiday season, it's the

270
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: season of mercy, it's the season of giving. Here. This

271
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: is what I have in my pocket, it's yours. And

272
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: the guy slowly rises, dusts himself off, gathers himself and

273
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: you expect to hand shake, maybe a hug, and he

274
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: pulls a baseball bat out and he hits you in

275
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: the face and then he keeps hitting you for sixty

276
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: minutes and the cops never show up and security never intervenes.

277
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: And that was Auburn football yesterday. They paid one point

278
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: eight five million dollars to get smoked. And while I'm

279
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: at it, saw a stat which admittedly I cannot confirm,

280
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: I saw Bama paid ut Chattanooga like seven hundred thousand.

281
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: So not only did Auburn budget horribly. When they went

282
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: cupcake shopping, they bought a cupcake that was poisoned because

283
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: it beat you. And trust me, I had food poisoning

284
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, so I know exactly how

285
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: you guys feel. But let's talk real for a second,

286
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: because I, as you would expect, saw a lot of

287
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: animosity being hurled towards first year head coach Hugh Freeze. There,

288
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: let's just talk this through for a second. I know

289
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: the rest of the world just laughed at this. If

290
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: you're an Auburn fan, you're doing anything but laughing. I

291
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: had a couple of different buddies because I grew up

292
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: in this part of the country, so I've got a

293
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: lot of buddies who went there, and several more who

294
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: just pull for Auburn, had a couple of buddies tell

295
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: me this can't happen. If you're an Auburn head coach,

296
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: this can't happen. And my response was, okay, will it happened?

297
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: What do you mean it can't happen? So it did.

298
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? You go and pack

299
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: his stuff up and he's fired by dawn? Is that

300
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: really what you're gonna do? If the answer is no, well,

301
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: obviously it can happen, and it did happen. What are

302
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Now, let me tell you what I think.

303
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: What I think is Hugh Freeze walked in the door

304
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: at Auburn, looked around and said, we don't have a

305
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: lot of what I want here. But even having said that,

306
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: do you have any idea when a head coach takes

307
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: over a program, you have any idea what it entails?

308
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: Talked about this with Brian Kelly last year. You walk

309
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: in and normally it's winter when you take the job,

310
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: and then you're trying to hire a staff, and then

311
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: you get to spring, but you're still not done. There

312
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: are so many roles behind the scenes in a college

313
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: football program, most of which you'll never know and you

314
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: don't even know the roles, much less of the names

315
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: that fill those roles. But look, sometimes you take a

316
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: job and he comes from Liberty, for example, So you

317
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: may bring some of your folks with you and they

318
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: don't have sec experience. You may walk in and there's

319
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: some holdovers from the previous staff, and all the while

320
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: you're inheriting what you inherit roster wise. Thankfully you've got

321
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: the portal today to where you can try and do

322
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: some stuff pre and post spring. That's band aids normally,

323
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: especially if you have a roster that was as badly

324
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: in need of repair for lack of harsher terms as

325
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: Auburns was. But you're just you're drinking water from a

326
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: fire hose, is my point in year one. And so

327
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: like I look at this and whether they skated buy

328
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: by a field goal at the buzzer yesterday or got

329
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: beat by three touchdowns, it doesn't really change what reality is.

330
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: It just puts a cripplingly embarrassing stain on your history

331
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: books for now into eternity. But ultimately, like you freeze

332
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: didn't forget how to run a football program? Have you freezed?

333
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: Dint forget how to coach, and you can say all

334
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: you want to this can't happen. Well, okay, fire him.

335
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: Then if it can't happen, speak more realistically. It's humiliating

336
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: that it happened. It's inexcusable that it happened. And anything

337
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: you feel, he feels times five. I think there's a

338
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: keen awareness in that building. I can confirm for you

339
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: there's a keen awareness in that building. There's a lot

340
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: that still has to change. They have done a fraction

341
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: of the total overhaul they need to do the you

342
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: just weren't gonna do it overnight. I'm not making excuses.

343
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: They got smoked by a team they have no business

344
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: even having a competitive game with. But it doesn't really

345
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: change my feel on whether he can be successful there

346
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: not in the least they could have beat him fifty

347
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: one to ten. It just it is what it is.

348
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: It's horrible. It's a terrible look. Am I gonna care

349
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: on early signing day if they blow it out of

350
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: the water? Am I going to care that they lost

351
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: in New Mexico State? Am I gonna care on the

352
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: second signing day? If they put the finishing touches on

353
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: a top ten class? Am I going to care if they,

354
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: you know, magically portal in a quarterback that changes the

355
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: outlooking perspective on Auburn football. Am I gonna care if

356
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: his staff looks way better year two than year one?

357
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: I'm really not. I don't think most of you would.

358
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: I just I understand the immediate reverberations of stuff like this.

359
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: It's not fun, not fun at all, but is what

360
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: it is. Don't want to be saying that November, but

361
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: is what it is. And what it was was ugly.

362
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: I will meet you that far. It was ugly, far

363
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: from how I would describe things inside an academy Sports

364
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: and outdoors. Academy Sports and Outdoors, and the clock is ticking.

365
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: By the way, is giving away two tickets to the

366
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: SEC championship game Georgia versus Auburn or Georgia versus Alabama.

367
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: Bad bad typo if any of the copy says that,

368
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: so George Obama in Atlanta a couple of weeks, Academy

369
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: wants you to be there, and they're giving away two tickets.

370
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: And just on top of that little cherry on top

371
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: a ten thousand dollars Academy Sports an Outdoors gift card,

372
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: and you don't even have to do any paperwork, you

373
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: don't have to spend any money. You just you log

374
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: into the Academy app. That's it, and you're entered, just

375
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: like that. And I was talking to our friends there

376
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: at Academy and I said, hey, you guys gonna be there,

377
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and they may be there, They may be there in

378
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. So always love running into those guys.

379
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: Look tailgating. They've got what you need, hunting supplies, got

380
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: what you need if you're getting ready. If you want

381
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: an early jump on spring baseball, and I know that's

382
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: a little ways away. Some of you are probably playing

383
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: fallball right now. Just stock up any kind of sporting goods, equipment,

384
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: any kind of outdoors grilling, et cetera. Tents, got a

385
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: wide variety of tents, bicycles. They got it at Academy

386
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors. And they provide our show to you

387
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: free of charge, which arguably, I think is one of

388
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: the best services that they provide. So thank you so

389
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: much to our friends at Academy. And now we take

390
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: a turn back to negative town. Let me take my

391
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: first sip from the chalice. I'm told I got about

392
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: an hour of sleep last night. But it was one

393
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: of those ten minutes here, six minutes here, fourteen minutes here.

394
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: I don't think I got an hour of sleep. So

395
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: afterwards we're going to take care of that. But we

396
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: pushed through tonight. Lincoln Riley and USC humbled again in

397
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: defeat yesterday. They lost thirty eight to twenty to Chip Kelly,

398
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: Hot seat, Chip Kelly, I'm told, and the Bruins over

399
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: there at UCLA. And this was pretty dominant, so dominant

400
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: that you see the rushing totals on the screen right

401
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: now if you're listening on podcast UCLA one hundred and

402
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: ninety nine. On the ground, USC three. They lost the

403
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: turnover battle three to nothing. They just they got pushed

404
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: around on the line of scrimmage. I know that's a

405
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: rinse and repeat stat or or statement. Did you see

406
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: Dan Mullen's tweet? Dan Mullen has things so thoroughly figured out.

407
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: Go coach for a little while, build yourself an immense

408
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: net worth, then live the buyout life, and then go

409
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: work in TV where you're never wrong. By the way,

410
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: like some folks figured that out a long time ago,

411
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: Gruden figured that out. It took him a long time

412
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: to get back in football. Well, Dan Mullins figured it out.

413
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: So Dan Mullins just sitting in a studio in Bristol,

414
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: Connecticut yesterday and he tweeted the following, are we sure

415
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: they have the right coach on the hot seat in LA?

416
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: Welcome to the party, Dan consequence free say whatever you

417
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: want to. As a fired football coach. By the way,

418
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: say whatever you want to. You know what, He's not

419
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: terribly off base there, And I guarantee you if that

420
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: thing got liked and retweeted, you'd be shot. How much

421
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: of that traffic came from Southern cal football fans because

422
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily like what they're seeing right now? Lincoln Riley,

423
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: we got a two year sample size at USC. He

424
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: is two and seven versus top twenty five teams now,

425
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: and in those games against top twenty five competition, they're

426
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: giving up forty two per game on average. I have

427
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: no idea where this is going. I have no feel

428
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: for this. I thought once upon a time I did.

429
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: It's become pretty clear the hope I had for some

430
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: of the changes and the evolution in philosophy that Lincoln

431
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: Riley would have when he went to USC has not happened,

432
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: and it doesn't look like gets in the immediate works either.

433
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: He's forty years old right now. Lincoln Riley's forty years

434
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: old right now. They just finished a season one hundred

435
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: and twenty fourth in scoring. Defense, he fired the defensive coordinator.

436
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: He's got no college football playoff wins, despite multiple Heisman

437
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: winners and more Heisman caliber quarterbacks. They're not recruiting California

438
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: well at all. Some of the numbers bear that out.

439
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: And he's got soft teams, not soft in relation to

440
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: someone you'd see playing at the playground, Like they could

441
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: smoke your eight on eight team physically, but they don't

442
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: play eight on eight. They play Utah, they play UCLA,

443
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: and you know who they're playing next year. They're playing Michigan,

444
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Penn State, Ohio, State, Iowa. Like, can you imagine if

445
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: they don't significantly overhaul the profile of this program, you

446
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: imagine how bloody they're going to be. And it's gonna

447
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: happen long before the middle of the season like it

448
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: did this year. I think one of the mistakes being

449
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: made perceptionally around USC football is some folks tend to

450
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: think that as soon as Lincoln Riley hires an elite

451
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, things will be fine. That is not the

452
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: only problem out there. Hiring an elite defensive mind is

453
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: the beginning, but that's not the end all, be all.

454
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: The culture of the program has to change. What does

455
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: it matter if I'm Lincoln Riley and I bring in

456
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: the top defensive mind in the game, pick who you want.

457
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: Nobody's off limits. Pick who you want. I bring him in.

458
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: But I don't change talent acquisition. I don't change strength

459
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: and conditioning. I don't change practice, habits and philosophy. I

460
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: don't change the attitude of the program. I don't really

461
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: overhaul my culture. I just think I'm gonna I'm gonna

462
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: put a DC and I'm gonna take his name and

463
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: put it in the blank here, and I'm gonna tell him, Hey,

464
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: fix the defense, see you in the fall. That's not

465
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: the way that works. It's not the way that's gonna work.

466
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: They enter the Big Ten next year. They closed the

467
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: season one in five after they started six and oho,

468
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: and like I said, they got out rushed one ninety

469
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: nine to three last night. It's not close. And I

470
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: hate that statement, you know, I hate that phrasing. But

471
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: in this Clay in this case, if you ask how

472
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: close is USC to playing championship level football, I'm gonna

473
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: say they're not there, and it's not even close, and

474
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: it would be accurate. And so that then the follow

475
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: up from Norman Oklahoma's just laughter, and the follow up

476
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: from outside Norman is, well, what's he gonna do? I

477
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: don't know. They're certainly in the market for a defensive

478
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: coordinator right now. You hear a bunch of names thrown around.

479
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna stay on record with this. I'm

480
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: sure they'll hire a pretty big name, maybe maybe an

481
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: impressive name that is not the end of the road.

482
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: That is, it's not like a turnkey. Let's put a

483
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: big name in the seat here, and we'll just immediately

484
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: rapidly scale our defensive performance. You will not if you

485
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: don't change the foundational pillars or tenants of that program,

486
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: nothing much is gonna change. And some defensive coordinator will

487
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: come out there and you'll look around and he'll realize,

488
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: this soil is terrible. It doesn't matter what I plant

489
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: in it, and then his name's gonna get drugged through

490
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: the mud because he was supposed to come in and

491
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: do there what Jim Knowles has done at Ohio State.

492
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: Ryan Day's got the culture that's conducive to overhauling a

493
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: defense there. Does Lincoln Riley have that? And that's the

494
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: second time this month that I've compared those two. Not

495
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: quite sure why my mind keeps going back to that.

496
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: I think it's because they had similar criticisms a couple

497
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: of years ago, not tough enough defensively, and one of

498
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: them got to doing something about it, and the other

499
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: one just said, out outscore folks. You will not. No,

500
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: you will not. You may outscore the first half of

501
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: your schedule, you will not continue to do that. They're

502
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: watching us in Augusta, Georgia, Salt Lake City, Utah, Richmond, Virginia,

503
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: and East Liberty, Ohio. Appreciate you guys being tuned in

504
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: wherever you may be. Let's get back to some games

505
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: that were played yesterday, and appreciate you guys watching live.

508
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: If you're watching live, working on manners here, it's not

509
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: a New Year's resolution because it's not even December. And

513
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: from Tennessee and Dolly Parton and Peyton Manning. Yesterday, thirty

514
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: eight to ten, the model, just the model took a

515
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: bath on this one. I told you guys last week.

516
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: The model thought Tennessee was going to cover in this game,

517
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: and before kickoff the number came down to nine, which

518
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: meant there was sizeable money being bet on Tennessee. And I,

519
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: for the life of me, I couldn't see it. I

520
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: understand progression and regression to the mean. And Tennessee got

521
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: blown out the week before, and Georgia looked great the

522
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: week before, and normally there's a little there's a little

523
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: meeting in the middle of the following week. I just

524
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: thought you had one team on the fade and one

525
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: team surging, and once you get to November, sometimes those

526
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: are fixed trajectories, and you saw it yesterday. Those were

527
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: kind of fixed trajectories. Carson Beck is playing outside his

528
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: mind right now. Twenty four point thirty for about three

529
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: hundred yards, three touchdowns and yet again no interceptions. Carson

530
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: Beck has two hundred and fifty passing yards all eleven

531
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: games this season. Think about think about how good he

532
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: had to be this year. When you go over the

533
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: two year rolling NFL draft attrition rate, when you look

534
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: at what Stepson Bennett was last year, you look at

535
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: you losing your offensive coordinator and your Heisman finalist quarterback.

536
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: And so you elevate Mike Bobo, which was met with

537
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: pretty severe criticism, and no one can find those people

538
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: anywhere right now. They're on the backs of milk cartons.

539
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: And then you also elevate Carson Beck and he's gonna

540
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: be a first year starter normally, that's a recipe for

541
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: what Penn States look like this year. Let's hide our quarterback,

542
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: let's ease him into it, and let's just try and

543
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: run the ball and play dominant defense. Instead. George has

544
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: featured him like George is throwing the ball all over

545
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: the place. George is one of the best passing attacks

546
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: in the country. And they don't exactly have Florida State's

547
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 1: receiving corps up there either. They got nineteen. They got

548
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: brock Bowers, who once upon a time was thought to

549
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: be lost until the SEC Championship game. Now we're still

550
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: a week or two weeks away from that. It feels

551
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: like he's been back forever again, an alien walking amongst

552
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: normal human beings. Brock Bowers, And you got Lad mccakey exactly.

553
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: You've got Lad mccakey and Hoop Steltz. You don't have

554
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: all Americans littered in that room, but you got a

555
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: quarterback making them look good. And so that's been impressive

556
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: to watch. Also, there have been several games this year,

557
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: including this one, where he had to answer the Auburn game,

558
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: he had to answer like they've gotten down several times

559
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: this year. There's been no room for error, there's been

560
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: no margin for mistake, and he's gotten it done. The

561
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: third down statistic justm it just keeps becoming the paper popper,

562
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: the padlock stat in Georgia games. Yet again, Georgia goes

563
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: nine thirteen on third down. Yet again, their opposition just

564
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: so happened to be Tennessee here goes two of eleven

565
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: on third down. And what does that get you, Well,

566
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: it gets you to a point where I'm willing to

567
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: mention time of possession on this show, and we don't

568
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: do that very often, but when you go forty one

569
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: minutes to nineteen minutes. When you have seventy one plays

570
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: to fifty five plays, I think that's worth mentioning. Dare

571
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: I say a padlockstat it's certainly worth mentioning. So Georgia

572
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: got through this little gauntlet of theirs. They got through

573
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: four ranked teams. So far they've played this year, their

574
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: margins of victory have been thirty eight, thirty five, nine,

575
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: twenty eight. It turns out none of them at the

576
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: freeze point. The freeze point on this show means like

577
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: the minimum baseline quality that a team has to be

578
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: before they're capable of beating you. So water freeze is

579
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: at thirty two point four degrees fahrenheit, and if it's

580
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: above that, like if it's thirty five degrees. If the

581
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: water's thirty five degrees, you could leave it there forever,

582
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: it's never to freeze. Once he gets the thirty two

583
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: point four or below, that determines whether it a can

584
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: freeze and b how quickly could it freeze. There's only

585
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: one team in the SEC that meets the freeze point

586
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: for Georgia, and that's Alabama, and they're gonna play them

587
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks and nationally. I don't know

588
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: how many there are for sure, but there aren't any

589
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: in the SEC aside from the team in Tuscaloosa. And

590
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: outside the SEC, maybe Michigan, maybe Ohio State, maybe Oregon,

591
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: or maybe not. We'll see. For all we know, Like

592
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: listen to me, For all we know, we could be

593
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: seeing the national championship in Atlanta, Georgia in a couple

594
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: of weeks. You don't know, You have no idea. I

595
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: just know that it's felt that way in years past

596
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: and ended up being that way. So Kirby yet again

597
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: has his team in prime position. Hatn't lost the game,

598
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: seems like in forever, and so hats off. I don't

599
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: know what more you can say. They're rolling. They have

600
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech this week, and then it's on too Atlanta

601
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: next up. Pooh. I bet some eyeballs were glued to

602
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: this game as it got later. Yesterday, Michigan beat Maryland,

603
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: but not by the margin the oddsmakers thought thirty one

604
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: to twenty four. Remember Thursday's show, Maybe Tuesday show. I

605
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: sat here and I asked, is Michigan immune to a

606
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: lot of the struggles that a normal Mortal team would face.

607
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: It turns out. They weren't. They got pushed yesterday, really pushed.

608
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: In fact, defense and special teams had to bail them

609
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: out or they may lose this game, which is how

610
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: a football game works. By the way, they were on

611
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: a back to back road stretch. They were coming off

612
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: their second toughest game of the year, their first toughest game,

613
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: and their big rival is on deck. They're going to

614
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: Maryland noon kickoff. Harbass suspended. All the talk about the

615
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: programs off the field. That's just a classic spot to

616
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: get tripped up. So it wasn't shocking to me that

617
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: they struggled and they got out to a big lead.

618
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: So it may have been a little shocking to me

619
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: that Maryland got back in it. But special teams in

620
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: defense had to do it yesterday day, which leads to

621
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: some questions about the quarterback position at Michigan. More on

622
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: that in a second. They had a fumble return for

623
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: a touchdown. They had two safeties, they had a one

624
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: of them was on a block punt. They won the

625
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: turnover battle three to one. They had four sacks, they

626
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: had six tackles for loss. Full payate state material performance

627
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: by jesse Mentor and his defense. But JJ McCarthy all week.

628
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: Get ready, you're gonna hear it, and deservedly so. He's

629
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: had three straight games now without a passing touchdown. Didn't

630
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: need to do it against Penn State. And I came

631
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: out of that game and I told you, I said,

632
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: there's a trap setting up. People are gonna think just

633
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: because McCarthy threw the ball eight times total against Penn

634
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: State and they ran it the final thirty some odd

635
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: plays of the game, that he's incapable of throwing. And

636
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, no, don't be fooled. They just

637
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: called the game the way that they needed to call

638
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: that game. Well, yesterday he throws a terrible pick down

639
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: in the goal in the I think the pickles thrown

640
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: and could not take the game over at any point

641
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: with his arm. They've got under pressure fairly consistently. I

642
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: was listening because I was driving to Corvallis. I was

643
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: listening to the Michigan radio call for a little bit.

644
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: And look, those guys, I'll credit them. They were pretty

645
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: brutally honest about some of the issues that this team

646
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: is faced. It's not an invincible unit. No team is.

647
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: You're just made to look that way sometimes. Southern Cal

648
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,479
Speaker 1: looked that way kind of earlier in the year. Now,

649
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: unlike Southern Cal, Michigan plays complimentary football, So Michigan's an

650
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: elite team, but they can bleed. And Michigan bled yesterday.

651
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 1: Now you can look at that one of two ways.

652
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: You can either say they bled, they're vulnerable, or you

653
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: can look at it and say they bled good. Good.

654
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: Once you taste that, you're about to get the best

655
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: performance out of that team you'll get all year. That's

656
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: what Saturday's for. That's what God has invented rivalry week for.

657
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: And we got it. Ohio State coming to town. Can

658
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: you imagine how big four quarters is here? Both teams now,

659
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about Michigan. On one hand, you could

660
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: beat Ohio State. So you make it three straight. You

661
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: just beat Ryan Day without your head coach. You're going

662
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: to the Big Ten Championship Game, a game you will win.

663
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna go to the College Football Playoff. You may

664
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: be the one seed. At worst you would be the

665
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: two seed and all's well, or you lose and you

666
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: lost the game. Ohio State has re emerged, They've re

667
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: established themselves, and they're going to the Big Ten title

668
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: game and they're probably going to the playoff. You're done.

669
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: Unless some other upsets happen, You're done. You don't have

670
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: the strength of schedule. Everything about you going to the

671
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: postseason has been predicated on they need to go beat

672
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: Penn State check and they need to beat Ohio State

673
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: and win the Big Ten check and tbd. But if

674
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: you don't fill that second box with a check mark,

675
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter in the eyes of the can. And

676
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: then you add in the hole. Will they punish us

677
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: for harball? Well, the moment you have a loss, absolutely

678
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: they will. They're not putting you in there. It probably

679
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how the dominoes fall behind you. They're not

680
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: putting you in there. That's four quarters. That's what four

681
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: quarters means. Steve Winwood once saying, don't you know what

682
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: the knight can do? Don't you know what four quarters

683
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: can do? That is a man. That's a reference. My

684
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: forty in overcrowd is going to really love. I listened

685
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 1: to a lot of eighties FM radio growing up. Still

686
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: do love it. Love it wasn't necessarily around when it

687
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: was recorded, but love it anyway. Several more takeaways from

688
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: Week twelve. Probably worth another sip from the childice, Cause

689
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: there are some very puzzling things on this piece of paper.

690
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: Let's start with where I was yesterday. So I was

691
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: at Oregon State and Washington came in there and I

692
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: got to tell you something. So this was a terrible

693
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: weather game, just horrible, pouring down rain, low forties, worst

694
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: weather game that I think I've been at, which is

695
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: saying a lot cluse. A couple of years ago, we

696
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: were where we're going to be this Saturday. We were

697
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 1: up at the Big House in Michigan, and snows started

698
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: falling sideways in the second half, and then after the

699
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: game is really where it was tough. When we're doing

700
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: all our live hits and then we're rapping and it

701
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: got to drive to Detroit through what a Georgian considers

702
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 1: a driving snowstorm. And yet I think yesterday was worse,

703
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: just more miserable. And in the midst of all that,

704
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix comes in there knowing they got to throw

705
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: the ball to win. And you can either look at

706
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: his stat line or I was just on TV. That's exciting,

707
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: even though it's my show and we're on air right now.

708
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: There's something about seeing yourself on the broadcast feed. So

709
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix goes in there thirteen for twenty eight one

710
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two two touchdowns. You can either look

711
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: at that and say, oh, that's one of his worst

712
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: stat lines of the year, or you could wisen up

713
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: a little bit. Hey, go stand on that field for

714
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: five minutes and you can't feel your fingers anymore, and

715
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: then imagine you got to have a precision passing game

716
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: that you're orchestrating and operating. I thought he was incredible

717
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 1: yesterday and last night I thought it was amazing to watch.

718
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: And Romadnze I've seen in person twice. Now that is

719
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: like watching a guy who has a game tomorrow for

720
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks or someone like that, and he's he's just

721
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: having fun on a Saturday night. It's an NFL receiver

722
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: just happens to be playing college ball, and it's a

723
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: blessing to watch because he is really, really good. And

724
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: so now they won again as a slight underdog. This

725
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: time they won again and Washington's still undefeated. So now

726
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: that the Oregon State trip is out of the way,

727
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: people will start shifting their attention. They'll look straight over

728
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Washington State. Make no mistake, about it. Folks are going

729
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: to overlook that game. And by the way, hats off

730
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: to both of these universities for signing off on an

731
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: extension on the Apple Cup. Turns out that rivalry games

732
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: can stick, will survive even if you're in different conferences.

733
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 1: So folks are gonna overlook that game Saturday or Friday,

734
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: whenever it is there you go, I'm one of them,

735
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: and they're gonna start looking towards Vegas where they think

736
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: Oregon Washington is already locked in as a PAC twelve

737
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: championship game. It's not locked in yet. It's likely, but

738
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: it's not locked in yet. More on that in a second.

739
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: But I want to tell you I had some Washington

740
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: fans come at me and they said the model got

741
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: this one wrong, because well, the model liked Oregon State

742
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: to win by three and the line was two and

743
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: a half. The model's mainly just built to provide our

744
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: own number. Anyway, I know this is gonna blow some

745
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: people's minds, this thing right here. This model did exactly

746
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: what it was supposed to on this game. Nailed it.

747
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is, if if I got you,

748
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: if I got Washington as a two point dog, I'm

749
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: saying you're gonna lose by three, so I pretty much

750
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: agree with the Vegas number, and you finished plus two

751
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: turnovers and win the game by two when I value

752
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: turnovers at about five and a quarter points apiece. If anything,

753
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: the model undervalued Oregon State. The model, probably in retrospect,

754
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: should have made the number of Oregon State minus four

755
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: or four and a half or five. And what I'm

756
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: trying to say is, even when you lose the bet

757
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: that the model suggested you bet, there's a world where

758
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: it's still right because you never bake in plus or

759
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: minus turnover margin and you completely erase it from any

760
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: kind of future leaning a model output. So that sounds

761
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: like sour grapes. It's not congratulations on the win. I

762
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: was just trying to address that because a lot of

763
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: for some reason, you guys picked this game to come

764
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: at me and say model miss this one. Didn't it? No,

765
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: it didn't at all. It's just turnovers happened, which is football.

766
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: But that is not how you. You find me someone

767
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: out there who's successfully running a model where they predictively

768
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: bake in turnover margin successfully, and I will show you

769
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: someone who doesn't need a real job. Because they can

770
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: just bet for a living. Next up, Texas got it

771
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: done on the road against US in Ames twenty six

772
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: to sixteen. If you told me rock O Becht, who's

773
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback for Iowa State, if you told me he

774
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: was throwing it for three hundred and twenty three and

775
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: two touchdowns Friday, I would have thought they were going

776
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: to upset Texas. But if you told me they were

777
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: gonna be held to nine yards rushing, I would have thought, oh,

778
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: now I see how it's gonna happen. Good for Texas,

779
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: Good for Texas. They did what they had to do.

780
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: It felt like a blowout when you go when you

781
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: go watch the game, or if you watched it live

782
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: last night, it felt like a blowout was happening. But

783
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 1: then you have two Texas touchdowns called back because of penalties,

784
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: You've got a red zone turnover. It felt like a

785
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: game that Texas was supposed to be pulling away in

786
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: and Texas was stopping Texas a lot more than Iowa

787
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: State was. You know how much that pains me to say,

788
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: But yet again, this was a game where a lot

789
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: of US circled and said, if we're gonna have Volcano Saturday,

790
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: We're gonna have chaos Saturday, emerge Ames Iowa could be

791
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: the epicenter. Nope, chalk holes yet again. And so what

792
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: do we have now? We got Texas playing Texas Tech

793
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: this Friday, so short rest for both teams. I think

794
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: Texas opened is about a two touchdown favorite. Cedric Baxter

795
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: good numbers yesterday. I know he fumbled one, but had

796
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: good numbers in the absence of Jonathan Brooks. So the

797
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: air is very thin. That tightrope is one hundred stories

798
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: in the air. Right now, We'll see crazier things have happened.

799
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: We'll see they got that and then they got a

800
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: big twelve championship game. And those are the two obstacles

801
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: between Texas and a likely trip to the college football

802
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: playoff Right now, what about Oklahoma? I thought Oklahoma was

803
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: due to be in a dog fight yesterday against Brigham Young,

804
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: and they were and they won. This was seventeen to

805
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: seventeen and Brigham Young had the ball in the two

806
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: yard line and they throw one hundred yard pick six

807
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: and the game totally inverts. Oklahoma's defense had to step

808
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: up here. That's who won them the game. They lost,

809
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: though Oklahoma had lost back to back against Kansas and

810
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, and they've rebounded. They blew out West Virginia.

811
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 1: They went and got to win ten am local time

812
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 1: kickoff in Provo, by the way, yesterday, first time they've

813
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: been out there, I believe. So that's good. It's good

814
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: because the season could have gone off the rails this

815
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, speak of your old boss. Your schedule here

816
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: that you're looking at on the screen, that could look

817
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: like usc schedule where you started hot and then all

818
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: of a sudden you just fell off badly and you

819
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: strung a bunch of l's together. But instead you rebounded

820
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: back to back wins with TCU on deck. Now, as

821
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: it relates to the Big Twelve championship picture, we have

822
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: an entire committee like Bradley is no longer Bradley the associate.

823
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: Bradley is just tiebreaker Bradley now and he is old.

824
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: Job here is to let us know what would happen

825
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: if we throw just random Big Twelve scenarios at him.

826
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: So as best we can tell right now from a

827
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: conference that's had to release two statements on their own

828
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: tiebreaker system this week, if Texas wins, they're in. If

829
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State wins they're in, that's the easy part. But friends,

830
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: if Oklahoma State loses, Honestly, Jesse explained it to me

831
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: three times, and I still don't know what's going to happen.

832
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: So I strongly encourage those teams to just take care

833
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: of business because if you don't, we could be watching

834
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: the two man sack race held on consecutive Sundays until

835
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: a champion is crowned, and we all know what happened

836
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: the last time they tried that. Let's move on Arizona.

837
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: Hottest team in the country right now, Arizona forty two,

838
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: Utah eighteen. This is insane. Arizona's over under preseason win

839
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: total four and a half. Arizona currently eight and three.

840
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: Got Arizona State on deck. They've won five straight. They

841
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: could end up nine to three on the year. They

842
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: were plus eighty five hundred to be Pack twelve champions,

843
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: speaking of which I told you just a second ago.

844
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: More on the Pack twelve championship situation in a second.

845
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: For all of you out there who think that the

846
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: end zones are already being painted purple and green, respectively

847
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: at Allegiance Stadium out there in Las Vegas, where the

848
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: PAC twelve championship. Is I need to remind you of something.

849
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: Oregon still has to beat Oregon State this Friday. If

850
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: they don't, if Oregon loses, they're favored by about two touchdowns.

851
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: If Oregon loses to Oregon State Friday and Arizona beats

852
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: Arizona State, Arizona's going to the PACTWEL championship game. While

853
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: that's unlikely, it is far from impossible. So Jetfish goes

854
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: from an over underwin total of four and a half

855
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: to being alive and ranked in the top twenty in

856
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: the final week of the season. Alive for the PAC

857
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: twelve championship game. Just unbelieva. I don't know where I'm

858
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,479
Speaker 1: supposed to fill out my ballot for coach of the Year,

859
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: but that's him, Jedfish. Is him doing an incredible job.

860
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: Anybody who's got a job opening out there who's not

861
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: looking at that guy, I don't know whether you could

862
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: get him or not, but anyone who's not looking at

863
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: that is probably valuing the wrong criteria. Next up, Louisville

864
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: won a big game at Miami yesterday. Louisville had a

865
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: fight on their hands. You know the story with Miami.

866
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: Miami's been a team that if they don't turn the

867
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: ball over, if they don't suffer from ten or twelve penalties,

868
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: could beat pretty much anyone they play well. Louisville was

869
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 1: minus one turnovers in this game. Miami won the turnover battle.

870
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: Miami only had five penalties yesterday, and Louisville found a

871
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: way to win. Tyler van Dyke did not play bad

872
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: football at all yesterday, and Louisville found a way to win.

873
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: I think not enough values being placed on that win. Actually,

874
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: like they were I think a one point dog or

875
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: a one point favorite. It was right around to pick

876
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: them all week round kickoff and Jack Plumber, that kid

877
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: ends up being one of the big transfer portal acquisitions.

878
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: Twenty four to thirty seven, three hundred and eight yards,

879
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: three touchdowns to one pick yesterday. I mean he's played

880
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: plenty well enough for them to be right where they are,

881
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: and where they are is they're about to go to

882
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: the ACC Championship game and face Florida State. So man

883
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Brom talk about like unexpectedly upgrading your program Sadderfield

884
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: just decides I'm not gonna coach here anymore, and they're like, what, okay,

885
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: can we wait? Can we get Jeff Brom. We can

886
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: get Jeff Brom. Wow, who'st toad of funk it? Now

887
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: they're gonna go play for an ACC championship. Just sometimes

888
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: the clouds part and the sun shines on your program.

889
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: And that's what's happening in Louisville, Kentucky right now. So FanDuel, yesterday,

890
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,400

Speaker 1: the hypothetical market, which is turned into the futures market,

Speaker 1: five American dollars. I don't know how this converts to

899
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: euro or the yen, but five American dollars. You go

900
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: bet it on any money line. Bet it on a

901
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: thirty point favorite, I don't care. Bet the money line.

902
