1
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Who's gonna win it. I'm not in the spoiler business.

2
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: In fact, today is that whole May the fourth thing.

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: But I've never seen Star Wars, so I've told you

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: to avoid that around me all day because I don't

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: even want Star Wars spoilers. But if I could tell

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: you who's gonna win the twenty twenty three Slash twenty

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: four National Championship, would you be interested? Because as it

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: turns out, we found out who's gonna win today, So

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: gigantic spoiler alert, that's what I should have titled the show. Actually,

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: we are jam packed high top an over populated downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: I cannot stress to you how big the sea of

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: humanity is fourteen stories below us right now Janet Jackson

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: across the street in mirror moments Taylor Swift. The next

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: three nights over at Nissan, like forty seven festivals in town.

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Also like two or three dozen high school graduations in there,

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: and there we are, right there, popped in the middle

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: of it. Bradley struggled mightily to find parking today, but

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: he did. Then he jumped over a couch. If you

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, check out my Instagram story. At Late Kick. Josh,

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm happy to have you with us because we've got

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: a jam packed show. It's Thursday, May fourth, the year

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: of our lower twenty twenty three, and yet I'm sitting

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: here telling you next January, I know what color confetti

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: could be raining down in Houston. I think that's where

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: the title game is. We're going to talk about that

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: and how what is the methodology, what is the science

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: behind that? So we've got that, we got transfer portal Intel.

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: We have some very peculiar things to talk about in

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: the Transfer portal. Also some very peculiar odds and ends

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: coming out of the Big twelve. They're kind of trying

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: to overhaul their approach out there. Now. I don't blame them,

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: because they do have to try something different than let's say,

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: what the Big ten does. They're going a different route,

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: I would say than the Big ten an sec for sure. Also,

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, we do this about once a year. Someone

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: asks us about something that's disrespectful that's not actually disrespectful

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: at all, And this year just so happens that it

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: came out of Brian Kelly's mouth. So we'll talk about

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: all that. Ach in South Carolina tuned in Circleville, Ohio,

40
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: El Paso, Texas, Marina Del Rey, California. Not only my

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: favorite George Strait song, but also a place that they

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: are watching us tonight. Thank you so much. I do

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: have one quick little update for you. We were at

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Penn State a couple of weeks ago, ultra successful visit

45
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: up there with James Franklin and his entire staff. The

46
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Pate State Speakers series will be opening chapter two in

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. We are going to be

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: on the road next week scouting our locations and whatnot

49
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: and getting our ducks in a row. That doesn't mean

50
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: we're going to Oregon, by the way, that's not code

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: or are we. And we will let you know. So

52
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: I expect an announcement next week. Think of it as

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: us being in the portal. We'll announce it when we're

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: ready to announce it. Now. As four announcements, the Big

55
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: Twelve had one a little while ago, Colin, that was

56
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: a bad end point for you, so you can just

57
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: endpoint it here. The Big Twelve they let you know

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: last year that hey, we got a new media rights deal.

59
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: Why is that significant? We'll cause the Pac Twelve hasn't

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: told you that, right, So the Big Twelve's got a

61
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: whole lot going on. In fact, the Big Twelve over

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: this past week had their meetings out, so I think

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: in Arizona somewhere like that. Anyway, where it was was

64
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: not important, what was said was very important. Dare I say?

65
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: The Big Twelve is sort of trying to show us

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: what the future of college football broadcasts will look like. Now,

67
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: there are some things that I'm very old school about.

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: So you may see my You may see me twist

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: and turn. If you're listening on podcasts, you may see

70
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: some hesitation or hears some hesitation in the words coming

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: out of my mouth. Don't pay attention to me. I'm

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: old school. Brett Or Mark is doing what he should

73
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: be doing out there, even if I don't happen to

74
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: like it. So I am very upfront and telling you

75
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: my objection to some of these things is just purely

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: out of personal interest. And I think I'm in the

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: minority on most of this stuff. So what am I

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: talking about? What is all this? It should have been

79
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: at the end, it's at the beginning. Well, here's the

80
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: first thing you need to know. Okay, the PAC twelve

81
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: and the Big Twelve. They've sort of been in the

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: same boat for a little while in a few different lanes.

83
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: So you know, the sec they print money, the Big

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: Ten they print money. They've got security and media deals

85
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: and everything else in between. They're good. They're just set.

86
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: They're monsters. The PAC twelve is as we speak, still

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: trying to hammer out a media right steal. The Big Twelve,

88
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: to their credit, got ahead of him in line, and

89
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: they did secure a media right steal. Far less per

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: school per year if you're in the Big twelve. But

91
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: with OU and Texas going out the door, Brett or Mark,

92
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: the new commissioner there, thought it to be in their

93
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: best interest to just make sure we've got something. I

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: have it on pretty good word that he also sat

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: in those meetings with those television executives and said, you

96
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: just wait. The Big twelve you're investing in is not

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: going to be the Big Twelve that you've necessarily watched

98
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: over the last what decade. And it's not just because

99
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: OU and Texas are leaving. We're going to be innovators

100
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: because Brett, you or Mark comes from the world of innovation.

101
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: He's not a career administrative bureaucrat or anything like that.

102
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: So they've got very different attitudes as a result, the

103
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: Big twelve and the PAC twelve. PAC twelve's got a

104
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: big giant question mark over their head right now. And

105
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: the Big twelve, meanwhile, is out there innovating. It's like

106
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: you're watching ou in Texas walk out the door which

107
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a crowbar to their kneecaps, and

108
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: instead they however, you block a crowbar. They blocked the crowbar,

109
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: and they said, double deuces, goodbye, give us one hundred

110
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: mili on your way out. By the way, you can

111
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: leave early. We don't care. And now we're going to innovate.

112
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: What innovation are we talking about? Well, this week the

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: Big twelve had some very important meetings. And I know,

114
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: if you're a Georgia fan, or if you're a Virginia

115
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Tech fan, you may think, what does this have to

116
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: do with me? Well, I'll tell you otherwise it wouldn't

117
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: be leading the show. I can promise you that you

118
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: watch college football broadcasts, they've looked pretty similar for a while. Right.

119
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: You've had some advancement, obviously in terms of just the

120
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: overall picture quality, but the actual functionality of the broadcast.

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: You've got two or three people in a booth. You've

122
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: got our buddies Cole Kublick and maybe Tom Lougan Bill

123
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: down there on the sideline. But by and large they're

124
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: formatted the same way. And there are some things in

125
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: the NFL or the NBA that you get there that

126
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: you don't get in college. Now we all know that

127
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: just because they do it on the pro level does

128
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: not mean yours truly here cares to see it at

129
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: the collegiate level. But that's not a broad brush I

130
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: paint with. There are exceptions to the rules. So anyway,

131
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: we get to these meetings this past week and Brett

132
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: you or Mark the new commissioner out there, he is

133
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: talking to pretty much everyone, and that's what these meetings

134
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: are for. And he started talking about the future of

135
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: the conference and a couple of very very interesting notes

136
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: came out of this. The Houston Chronicle broke a lot

137
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: of this. Si Ross Dellinger has been really good on this.

138
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: Our uncle Dennis Dennis Dodd had some things this week.

139
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Marcelo here at twenty four to seven Sports, And

140
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make sure that I attribute because what

141
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm about to read here is a hodgepodge from all

142
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: of those entities because they were all out there. So

143
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Marcelo has been good on this this week. Dellinger Dodd

144
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: Houston Chronicle. I don't think I forgot anyone. Good grief.

145
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: If I didn't, who else was there? So anyway, expanding access.

146
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: That was the first thing that they focused on and

147
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: what they're talking about when they say they're going to

148
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: expand access. And to be clear, I'm not talking about

149
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: the playoff or anything like that. I mean Big twelve broadcasts.

150
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: So when Texas Tech is playing Baylor, what could you

151
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: get that you didn't get in the past. Now I'm

152
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: going to tell you what they talked about, and you

153
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: can decide for yourself whether you like this or not.

154
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: In game coaching interviews sort of like you see in

155
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: the NBA. You know you're going into the second quarter

156
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: and boom, all of a sudden, I've got Quinn Snyder

157
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: being interviewed, and then he also he being britty. Ormark

158
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: talked about pre and post game locker room access. I

159
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: despise that, but like I said at the beginning, ignore

160
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: what I say. You might as well treat me as

161
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: an eighty three year old dude sitting on the porch

162
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: at a cracker barrel. When it comes to this, I

163
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: am so old school in my philosophy on this, So

164
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: this is probably a good thing, even though I don't

165
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: like it. Also, they are looking into micing players and

166
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: coaches during the game that I'm totally indifferent on. You

167
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: can do that all you want to. I've got reasons

168
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: why I feel the way I do about the locker

169
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: room stuff. Anyway, here's a quote from Brett you'll remark

170
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: two twenty four to seven Sports a courtesy of our

171
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Marcelo. It was a long quote, but I boiled

172
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: it down to this. He said, we want to bring

173
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: our fans closer to what we do and give them

174
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: a peek under the hood. And all the other professional

175
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: leagues are doing it. Not to say we're antiquated, but

176
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: it's time for us to be a little bit more

177
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: progressive and we would like to take a leadership position

178
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: in that area. Now, this was coming as soon as

179
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: they hired this dude. This was coming because that is

180
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: the world that he comes from. I will give you

181
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: my reactions. First. Let's start with the whole expanding access thing.

182
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: I have never been a fan of open lie locker rooms.

183
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of it in pro sports. Now,

184
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: I work in an industry where when I say that,

185
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: I always get shouted down because I work with a

186
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: bunch of journalists. I don't claim to be one myself,

187
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: but I work with journalists and they will bemoan anytime

188
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: I speak about this. I will get text about this tonight.

189
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: How could you say we deserve less access. I don't

190
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: care if you talk to guys at a podium. I

191
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: don't care if they make twenty seven of them available

192
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: to you after a game. My personal feel, perhaps it's

193
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: the former athlete in me. My personal feel has always

194
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: been everything else is public. Now you have a microscope

195
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: on you. Sunday through Friday, practices are open, at least

196
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. Most places. Saturday, you're on the field,

197
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: they're watching you. There's one place, there's one area left

198
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: that's a little bit sacred. And you know, once you

199
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: get through those doors, you can loosen up the tie

200
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, you can unwhy just to touch.

201
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: You can let some things come out of your mouth

202
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: that you couldn't let come out of your mouth in

203
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: the public spotlight, and that's the locker room. So the

204
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 1: locker room's always been a little bit sacred to me.

205
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of them being open. But I'm

206
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: also the one who sits here and tells you this

207
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: is entertainment. It's not the football business. It's the entertainment business.

208
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: I know, in the interest of avoiding full on hypocrisy

209
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: on this show, I know, I say that all the time,

210
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: and so if we've got to open locker rooms, then

211
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: go for it. I don't think that's something you'll necessarily

212
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: see tomorrow in the SEC, but the Big twelve has

213
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: to go about things a different way than the SEC does. Also,

214
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: there was another thing that Brett or Mark talked about,

215
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: and him talking about it means they are way down

216
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: the road in making this happen. They're going to play

217
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: games in Mexico. They're taking games to Monterey in Mexico City,

218
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: and they're going to do it as early as twenty

219
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: twenty five. He talked about it being a very important market.

220
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: He talked about it being an event capital, and he's

221
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: right in both of those areas. I'm going to give

222
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: you another old school warning here. I've spoken about this

223
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: as recently, as like last month on the Late Kick

224
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: Extra podcast, someone asked me what I thought about international

225
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: college football games, and I don't like them. And it's

226
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: not just because I have personal preference. I don't think

227
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: it's good business in this particular Vein. I think they're wrong.

228
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: They're right to try and innovate. I have never thought

229
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: college football translates well to international markets. What I didn't

230
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: say there is college football as a product won't appeal

231
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: to people in international markets. I said taking the game

232
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: physically to international markets doesn't work. And I'll tell you why.

233
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: The NFL might as well be played in a television

234
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: studio with eighty thousand seats in there. They could play

235
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: that anywhere outside of lambeau Field. There are a few

236
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: places in the NFL in terms of venue, Arrowhead Stadium

237
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: where No, you couldn't duplicate that anywhere, but a lot

238
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: of it is rents and repeat. Pro stadiums do not

239
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: have a fraction of the life that college stadiums do.

240
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: As a result, it doesn't matter if the Jaguars are

241
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: playing in London or playing in Jacksonville. No one cares.

242
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: And it's the highest level football competition in the world.

243
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: That's what appeals. TCU football is not the highest level

244
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: football competition in the world, and you can take it

245
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: to Mexico City or Monterey, or you can put it

246
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: in Fort Worth and it's going to be the same product.

247
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: The difference is what appeals about college football. What's always

248
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: made college football the spectacle is the game day environment.

249
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: I have spoken to you about how the NFL action

250
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: is really what's happening on the field. The college action

251
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: is what's happening on the field, and that's the beginning,

252
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: and then it's what's happening around the field, and then

253
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: it's what even happens outside the venue. That stuff right

254
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: there is like a college football snow globe, and you

255
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: shake it up every Saturday and you get pageantry and

256
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: tradition and nostalgia and all of what comes with playing

257
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: a game on campus and it just swirls around on

258
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: TV for four hours. You take the players and the

259
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: official and the game, and you put it in Mexico City.

260
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: You're not taking college football to Mexico City, is my point.

261
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: So I know what the Big twelve's trying to do.

262
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I admire the approach. I don't think that in particular

263
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: is going to yield nearly the kind of dividend that

264
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: they think it's going to. But again, I do get

265
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: why they have to do it. They have to try

266
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: a different approach because there's a gap. There's a really

267
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: big gap. Greg Sankie doesn't have to worry about this, Okay,

268
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: the Big Ten doesn't have to worry about this, but

269
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve will have to worry about it. The

270
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: Big twelve does have to worry about it. The ACC

271
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: kind of has to sort of worry about this. It

272
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of what we're seeing at

273
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Colorado right now with Dion walks in the door and

274
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: he has to do things a totally different way, and

275
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: you could look at him and say, oh, man, Kirby

276
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Smart would never do that. Of course he wouldn't. Kirby's

277
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: the head coach at Georgia. He's the head coach. Beon's

278
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: the head coach at Colorado. One of them is the

279
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: map and the others barely on the map. They just

280
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: went in one and eleven last year. Well, in the

281
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, if you are trailing, if you're set to

282
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: make thirty two mil per year, and the folks in

283
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: the Big ten are set to make sixty seven mil

284
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: per year. That's a problem per team. By the way,

285
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: per team per year, they're making more than twice what

286
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: you're making. Indiana makes more than twice what any member

287
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: institution in the Big twelve is making. Just because they

288
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: have a different sticker on their helmet. You got to

289
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: try different things and the other the other part to remember,

290
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: just like we talked about the other day, we're entering

291
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: this college football expanded playoff era, and one of my

292
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: big ripes is we're putting this auto conference championship bid

293
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: in there for half a dozen of them, half a

294
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: dozen of the highest ranked conference champions And you've got

295
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: the Big Ten in the SEC pulling away from the

296
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: rest of college football in every discernible metric. And you

297
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: got OU in Texas leaving the Big Twelve, and you

298
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: got USC and Southern cal at or USC and UCLA

299
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: at least leaving the Pac twelve. You got to sit

300
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: here and ask yourself, is whatever comes out of those

301
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: conferences as the conference champ really even going to be

302
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: viewed as viable, viable enough to be taken in the

303
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: same breath of seriousness as what the SEC produces, or

304
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: as the Big ten producers. Now, I saw someone the

305
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: other day cannot remember the channel, cannot remember the guy's name,

306
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: which I hate to do because you deserve attribution and credit.

307
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: But someone talked about the segment we did the other

308
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: night where I said, I don't like the auto bid

309
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: process because I do not like that you could have

310
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: an extremely watered down conference and because you win it,

311
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: you're just automatically going to be included in a playoff. Well,

312
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: this guy goes back and he looks at the past

313
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: few conference champs and he said, even if conferences are

314
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: watered down, the champion these conferences have been producing have

315
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: usually been still ranked pretty high. That's not my point, brother, Yes,

316
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: because you have to didge about half a dozen fewer

317
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: land mines per year. Therefore you have a smaller number

318
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: in that L column. That doesn't necessarily mean you've earned

319
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: anything or deserve to be taken in the same breath

320
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: of seriousness as someone who's who's the four seed down

321
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: in the Big ten or the SEC but played like

322
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: five of the top thirteen teams in the country this year,

323
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna rack up a few losses. And if you

324
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: don't have to play that schedule, you will remain a

325
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: little bit more unscathed. That was the whole argument against

326
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: UCF back in the day. It wasn't that they're not

327
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: a good team. It wasn't that they couldn't win, maybe hypothetically,

328
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: it was what challenges did they have to go through

329
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: to get to that undefeated mark relative to what some

330
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: of these other schools did. So what kind of challenge

331
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: collectively is your conference presenting? And that's a whole other conversation,

332
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: but that's not something immediately that these conference commissioners can control.

333
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: What they can control is exactly what Brett, you remark

334
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: is trying to change for the better right now. So

335
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: in general terms, I salute the attempt. There's some things

336
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: I like, some things I don't like. Tough suck it

337
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: up would be my advice to myself. And then you

338
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: enter into the realm of having a conversation with yourself

339
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: and doing it live, and it makes no sense. So

340
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: we'll wrap it there, Colin, I think this is a

341
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: really good time. In fact, my notes say go ahead

342
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: and take your first allergy induced cough, So we'll do

343
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: it right now. There we go. That's a good point

344
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: for it, I teased you a little while ago. Immunity,

345
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: I teach you a little while ago, and I said, look,

346
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: I just think we know who's going to win the

347
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: national championship. And some of you don't believe me, and

348
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: shame on you, absolutely shame on you. Why would I lie?

349
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: It's may, Why would I lie about having such information?

350
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: But I walked into the office today and I realized

351
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: producer Jesse, I don't know what time he got here today,

352
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: but he said, it's over, it's done. We might as

353
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 1: well drop the confetti and move on to twenty twenty four.

354
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: We might as well expand the playoff because this last

355
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: year of four teams, we've already figured out who's going

356
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: to win the title. I said, really, tell me more,

357
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: give me the science. Now, what have we learned? We

358
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: just went through the NFL draft. We watch the playoff

359
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: every year. There are some things, some very very obvious

360
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: things that are not going to surprise anyone, even if

361
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: you're a casual amongst us. Even this will make sense

362
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: to you. One thing we keep seeing when it comes

363
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: to the playoff and teams that make the playoff, and

364
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: then the NFL Draft is and get ready for this

365
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: shocking headline college football playoff teams, as it turns out,

366
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: are the teams getting the most guys drafted in the

367
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: NFL collective gasps all around. And if my science only

368
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: went that deep, then it would be a shame that

369
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: we're littering this fine show with that low caliber and

370
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: information tool. But no, no, no, We're going to go

371
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: much deeper than that. I'm not doing two immunities in

372
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: the same segment. By the way, So fourteen, here's a

373
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: good stat Fourteen of the last sixteen college football playoff

374
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: teams followed that playoff with being top five and overall

375
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: players drafted. And you may think, oh, so the exceptions

376
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: or you know, the TCUs of the world, right, No,

377
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: TCU included. TCU had eight guys drafted this past year

378
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: or this past couple of weeks ago, and they played

379
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: in the National Championship last year. So even TCU was

380
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: within that realm of they go to the playoff and

381
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: then they finished top five having the most guys drafted.

382
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty well correlated. And I don't think that the

383
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: NFL is just sitting there waiting to see who makes

384
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: the playoff and saying, all right, we'll just draft everyone

385
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: off that team Philadelphia notwithstanding. So then we dive a

386
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: little bit deeper and we go to the last four

387
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: drafts in total, and I just wanted to know, Jesse

388
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: hit me with it. Who's had the most guys drafted

389
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: rounds one through seven? Who's had the most guys drafted

390
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: Georgia the way this is over the last four seasons.

391
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, you already know the surprise

392
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: team at number two. But if you're listening on podcast,

393
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: who has had the second most players drafted in the

394
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: past four seasons. I'll even tell you it's a team

395
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: from the SEC West. Now you really think it's Bama,

396
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: it's LSU thirty seven players. Bama's close behind with thirty

397
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: six players. That surprised me. I gotta be real with you.

398
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: That surprised me. And then you got Michigan and Ohio

399
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: State each with thirty two. I think that surprises some people.

400
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: Now this isn't just first round, just rounds one through seven. Obviously,

401
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: you also round out this list with Penn State Florida.

402
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: This is me holding my tongue Swamp twenty four to seven.

403
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: That's me holding my tongue. As I'm told, I always

404
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: dunk on Florida at any opportunity, this would be a

405
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: good time to tell you Florida is the only team

406
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: on this list that's had two losing seasons in the

407
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: last four I could do that, but I'm not doing it. Oklahoma,

408
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame clemb And, by the way, they round out

409
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: the top ten of schools with the most players drafted

410
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: in the last four years. So I said, well, Jesse, anecdotally,

411
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: that list makes a good point. Georgia, yeah, they've obviously

412
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: been really good. And Bama they've obviously been really good.

413
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: LSU mixed bag, but really good last year. So here's

414
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: what we found out out of that list of ten teams,

415
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: the teams with the most draft picks over the last

416
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: four years, five of the top eight have had at

417
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: least one losing season in the last four years. As

418
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned, Florida's had two losing seasons in the last

419
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: four years. So this is not some slam dunk air

420
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: type case for you be on this list, you're going

421
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: to be in the playoff. But what we didn't do,

422
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: what websites cannot do that we can do is we

423
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: can look into the future. So I told Jesse, because

424
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: he's very excited about having all this research at his disposal,

425
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: and I said, but what good does this do if

426
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: we don't think forwardly with it? And Jesse said, what

427
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: do you mean? I think he scratched his head while

428
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: he said it is that I remember that, right, Jesse's

429
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: pretty much the way it went, give or take a

430
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: few ums. I said, hey, uh, mock draft season is

431
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: year round now, right, we don't take an off season,

432
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: and neither do like Ryan Wilson in the mock draft community.

433
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: Guys out there, they just mock and mock and mock.

434
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: That's all they do. And so what we have at

435
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: our disposal, and you got to follow me here because

436
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: this science is going to get really, really complicated. We

437
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: already have the mock drafts for next year, not one,

438
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: not two, We got several of them. So I had

439
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: producer Jesse take a few mock drafts, put him in

440
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: the hopper, spin that hopper around, aggregate that bad boy.

441
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: And you know what we know. We already know and

442
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: this is air tite, folks. We already know who's going

443
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: to have the most first round draft picks, most overall

444
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: draft picks, and so why wait until January? I can

445
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: tell you right now. Not only not only do we

446
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: have a pre eminent favorite to win the College Football

447
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: Playoff National Championship, but we have an overwhelming favorite to

448
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: win the twenty twenty three national Championship. And that is

449
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: by looking at the team that is slated to have

450
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: the most first round picks. Why do we care about that?

451
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: Because the team with the most first round picks over

452
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: the last six years has won the title every year. Jesse,

453
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: who's it going to be? Ohio State's going to win

454
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: the national championship this year? And the reason I say

455
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: that is because the mont draft community is telling me

456
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: with confidence fifteen fifteen. When we aggregate all these Monck

457
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: drafts combined, they average five slated first round draft picks.

458
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: Five right now, So fifteen out of the Jesse, what

459
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: is that like? Every draft you looked at, there were

460
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: fifteen total, So five is the average, right? And then

461
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Bama's got three up there on average. That's not surprising.

462
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: It does not surprise you to hear Ohio State and Alabama.

463
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get back to Ohio State in a second.

464
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 1: But this is where it really gets fun. But you

465
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: cannot argue with science people, don't you do it? Penn

466
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: State's number three, of course they are. And guess who's

467
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: number four? Is it Georgia? No? Is it LSU? No?

468
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: Is it USC? No? It's Washington. With two point three

469
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: averaged out projected first round draft picks. It should be

470
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: noted that Penn State, Washington, and Texas are all tied.

471
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: But for the sake of calamity, I put Washington up

472
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: there at four. Go back to Ohio State for just

473
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: a second, cause I'm gonna say the same thing about

474
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: Texas later in the show. You don't think that's gonna happen,

475
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: do you? I know you guys like the back of

476
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: my hand. Really, I know you a lot better than

477
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: the of my hand, because if you think about it,

478
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: who wastes a lot of time looking at the back

479
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: of their hand? Only psychos do that. I don't think

480
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: you guys have the faith in Ohio State that the

481
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: science does. You are doubting science tonight? Did hoops to

482
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: monkst You thought that it would come to this on

483
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: this evening here in early May? But Ohio State, the

484
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: mock draft community is telling you as plain as day

485
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the title this year. Vegas has them

486
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: with the fourth best overall odds. Yes, you heard that right,

487
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: fourth best overall odds. Michigan has not so quietly crept

488
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: into the catbird seat. They're the favorite to win the

489
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: Big Ten this year. George is the favorite to win

490
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: it all. Bama's number two, Michigan's number three, Ohio State's

491
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: number four, There's LSU at five. What do we think

492
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: about this? Do you think Ohio State's good enough at

493
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: offensive tackle? Do you think Kyle McCord will go wire

494
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: to wire as the starter? Will Devin Brown take over?

495
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: Will Devin Brown just win the job outright? We know

496
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: they've got the depth in the backfield. We know they

497
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: got the depth at quarterback. We know they've got the

498
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: hungriest coaching staff probably in any sport in America, but

499
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: especially college football. I am looking forward to this. I

500
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: don't know what my prediction is gonna be, but I

501
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: expect very big things from the Buckeyes this year. And hey,

502
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: so does the science the end Colin time to cough again.

503
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: At this point, there is a tickle in my throat

504
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: that has tickled away all day, and I coughed so

505
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: much that I've been afraid that I was going to

506
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: go horse before the show, and who knows, I may

507
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: still go horse. Let's take a sip from the chalice

508
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: just to be safe, and I encourage all you to

509
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: do the same, just like I encourage you to visit

510
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: our friends at Academy Sports and Outdoors. We are slated,

511
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: and I do mean slated in all lowercase. We are

512
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: slated to play a softball doubleheader tomorrow night. It's supposed

513
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: to rain intensely. And if you think that's bad news

514
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: for us, imagine spending like twenty two hundred dollars of

515
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: your money, of your parents' money to head over to

516
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium and see Taylor Swift tomorrow night, and then

517
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: you just get soggy. Uh. But anyway, we'll probably get

518
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: rained out. They've got umbrellas for that at Academy Sports

519
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: and Outdoors. If we don't get rained out, they've got

520
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: all of the other equipment we need at Academy Sports

521
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: and Outdoors. Think about what I just said. No matter

522
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: what nature throws at me tomorrow, Academy Sports and Outdoors

523
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: has me covered. Now. Some of you don't play softball,

524
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: some of you are not going to the Taylor Swift concert.

525
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Some of you just want to go camping this week,

526
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: and you may want to do some grilling while you're there.

527
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: An unnamed employee within our mitst here, not my staff,

528
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: but within our mitst here, purchased a grill a couple

529
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: of weeks ago and had the audacity to tell me

530
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: when I asked them if they bought it from Academy.

531
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know Academy has grills. Don't let that be you. People.

532
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Don't be the guy or girl who is the last

533
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: at the party to know that Academy Sports and Outdoors

534
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: not only carries grills, several brand names of grills. You're

535
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: gonna buy them anyway, buy them at Academy. If you

536
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: don't want to go glamping, if you want to go

537
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: old school, rugged outdoors, sleep in a tent just like

538
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: the cavemen did it, with a few more luxuries and trappings.

539
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: I'll grant you Coleman grill, for example, or Coleman light.

540
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: Academy's got you covered there too. They got everything you need.

541
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: So if you can't get there in person, Academy dot

542
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: Com is your hookup. They always take care of us.

543
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: We really really appreciate the long lasting partnership that we've

544
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: had with Academy Sports and Outdoors. They're watching us in Albany, Georgia,

545
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: the Bronx, New York, and Flemington, New Jersey, which reminds me, Jesse,

546
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't even think I told you this. New York

547
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: has quietly slipped into the top ten for most overall

548
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: viewership in markets for Late Kick. Atlanta's number one. For

549
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: the record, we have exploded in Dallas, thank you, guys,

550
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: but New York, New York, and I don't even think

551
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: it's because of the transient nature of the town. I

552
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: just really think born and bred, authentic New Yorkers have

553
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: finally decided college football's for me, and you'll be hard

554
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: pressed to convince me otherwise we have disrespect to talk about.

555
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: It's that time of year. I thank you guys for

556
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: being tuned in live. If you are, by the way,

557
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: just go ahead and like the video. You know you

558
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: want to go ahead and do it all right? You

559
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna take another ship from the Chalice,

560
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: because that is how much I have to prepare myself

561
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: mentally for one of the words on the screen here.

562
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe we still do this, all right? Rick

563
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: hit us up from planes Georgia, home of Jimmy Carter.

564
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: He said, thoughts on Brian Kelly disrespecting Nick Saban and

565
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: Alabama in front of LSU fans. I can't believe we

566
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: still do this. I said it once, I'll say it again. Disrespect,

567
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what I've told you in the past,

568
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: is the most overused term in college football or in

569
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: all of sports. But disrespect is way way up there. Disrespect.

570
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: What did Brian Kelly dare say? What did this man

571
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: have the audacity to say about Nick Saban? Well, he said,

572
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: speaking at a booster function or event, and get ready

573
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: for this. It hasn't been edited for language. I'm just

574
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: delivering what exactly he said. Here we go, Eh, Brian

575
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: Kelly's speaking at a touchdown club. I love the environment

576
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: of a college stadium. I love coming out on that field.

577
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: I love beating Alabama. It's at this point you may

578
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: think to yourself, Oh, there must be more. They must

579
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: have a second slide, there must be more to the quote.

580
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: He hasn't gotten to the disrespectful part yet, Oh I

581
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: have I love beating out Alabama. That's it, at least

582
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: according to Rick Now. In fairness to Rick, Rick was

583
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: not the only person who asked me about this. In fact,

584
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: if Rick was the only person to ask about it truthfully,

585
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: I would have just answered him back privately and moved

586
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 1: on about my business. Several of you, several of you

587
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: from Athens to Atmore and everywhere in between in the

588
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: great state of Alabama, asked me about this disrespect. If

589
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: that's disrespect, lock me up. If that's disrespect, I say

590
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: ten things worse than that. Every ping pong match I

591
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: play against management, not even Colin or Jesse against management.

592
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: You should have heard me the other night. That's not disrespect.

593
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: Ninety eight percent of the things labeled disrespectful in sports

594
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: aren't disrespect. The other two percent I usually still don't

595
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: care about. They've got the fifth best odds to win

596
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: the national title this year. That's one reason Brian Kelly's confident.

597
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: They are recruiting at an extremely high level. That's a

598
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: reason he's confident they are portaling at an extremely high level.

599
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: They've got a quarterback room that's in as good as

600
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: shape as it's been in several years post Joe Burrow.

601
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: That's a reason to be confident. Oh and by the way,

602
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 1: the whole thing about beating Alabama and loving to do it.

603
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason follow me here this

604
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: could be a stretch for Brian Kelly saying that is

605
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: because I had stats and info, do some digging, and

606
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: it turns out they beat Alabama last year. Disrespect I

607
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: know facts tend to be very disrespectful when they are

608
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: facts that don't sit well with you. But LSU did

609
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: beat Alabama last year. Friends, Brian Kelly did enjoy it,

610
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: and he should. And I'll tell you this, this is

611
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: what I always love to think about for the people

612
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: who get up in arms about these little nonsense issues,

613
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: I always love to think about. In this case, Nick Saban, So,

614
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: Nick Saban is at the very heart of Alabama football.

615
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: He is the head coach and the leader of the program.

616
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: If Nick Saban were to listen to that quote, he

617
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: would yawn, maybe even smile, maybe even chuckle and move on. Now.

618
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: That would be Nick Saban's way of processing it. But

619
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: Nick Saban is not Rick. Nick Saban. I love you, Rick,

620
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: I love you. There's a certain way if you're new here,

621
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: there's a certain way sometimes, since we're all just kind

622
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: of family, that I will poke and prod some of

623
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: you when you ask me questions. Some of you are

624
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: repeat question askers, and I almost feel like I grew

625
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: up with you. So I talked to you very much

626
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: kin to the way I would talk to buddies if

627
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: we were sitting over barbecue at lunch. Rick. This is

628
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: not disrespect. I think you know that. I hope you

629
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: know that. It's not disrespect. It's competition. And anytime someone

630
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: claims that this sort of thing is disrespect, here's what

631
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: I always ask you. What would you have had him

632
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: say otherwise? This was not a press conference. This was

633
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: not the ESPN car wash trip that they take every preseason.

634
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: This was not SEC media Days. This was Brian Kelly

635
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: speaking to a bunch of LSU fans at an LSU

636
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: Booster Club event. I have heard these head coaches speak

637
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: at these events frequently. I haven't heard Kelly, or I

638
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: guess I have now. I've heard Saban many times. I've

639
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: heard Smart many times. I have because before I grew up,

640
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: I've heard Auburn coaches pick one many times. Everybody talks

641
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: like this. It's just a pep rally where you play

642
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: like forty dollars for a plate and everyone pulls clothes

643
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: out of their closet that they normally only wear a

644
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: weddings or funerals. And you go and you listen to

645
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: a head coach talk for a little while, and they

646
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: get you all fired up, and they say some things

647
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: that a lesser man would think to be bulletin board material.

648
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: It's just fun. It's just the way it is, Bruce Hornsby,

649
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. So the other thing

650
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: that I want to remind you, Rick, I don't know

651
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: if you fit this category, but one of the things

652
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: I hear more than any other thing in college football

653
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: is I hate coach speak. What do you mean? Well,

654
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: I hate when coaches won't speak their mind. I hate

655
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: when they use the same baseless platitudes and cliches over

656
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: and over again, and they're so guarded with information and

657
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: we can't ever get authenticity out of them. That same

658
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: person who claims that is the first person when a

659
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: coach actually speaks his authentic mind to say, how dare

660
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:31,479
Speaker 1: he the disrespect gasp? Get him out of here? Why

661
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: what did he say? He said he likes beating his

662
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: ur trival? What else did he say? No, that's it?

663
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: You thought that was disrespectful? Way till I take you

664
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: down and just walk you around the street of any

665
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: major American city way till I take you into any

666
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: functioning competitive environment in an office building or sports or

667
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: anything in between. It's just normal stuff, man. In fact,

668
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: I would call that tame. I would almost call it

669
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: like Brian Kelly doing stand up. It's not He probably

670
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: didn't even say it with a serious face. It's just

671
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: something you say. It's the booster cla it's the speaking circuit.

672
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: Josh Hipel's doing it right now. I have not been

673
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: to one of Josh Hipel's events, but they're doing the

674
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: colin what's it called the Tennessee Speaking Trip. It's like

675
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: the Orange Caravan or something like that. Anyway, I guarantee

676
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: you that Josh Hipel has been asked a time or

677
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: two about that win over Alabama. That's the breaks, man,

678
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,479
Speaker 1: that's why you win the games. You win the games,

679
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: you can say whatever you want to. I can virtually

680
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: assure you of this. You won't hear that same phraseology

681
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: from Brian Kelly when he's at the podium here in Nashville,

682
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee in a few months for SEC media days. But

683
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: in the meantime, talk as much as you want to.

684
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: That's my approach. And I'm not even a head coach.

685
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: I'm just the chancellor at Payt State. All right, let's

686
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: move on. We've got I know you think the portals closed,

687
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: and it is, but we still got stuff to talk about.

688
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: Thank you for bearing with me. So the portal spring

689
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: window technically closed, but as the rules state, if you

690
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: have entered the portal by the time the window closes,

691
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: you can just hang out there. I think they have fresca,

692
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: you can go play Jenga. You can do whatever you

693
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: want to. Eventually you need to pick a school, but

694
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: you don't have to do it just like that. And

695
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: the reason I know that is because several names are

696
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: still in there. Now, I got a classic good news

697
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: bad news situation going on in fate of Arkansas right now.

698
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: Remember of our keys gums. Remember the tight end that

699
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: I told you so much about out of North Texas.

700
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: And he was an All American in the conference there,

701
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: and he was one of the premier tight end talents

702
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: in the portal. And I told you it's a huge

703
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: win for Arkansas to land to him, and I was right,

704
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: except that Arkansas unlanded him. What does that mean? Josh well,

705
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: it means he went there for like eleven days and

706
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: then rumor on the street is he wanted to take

707
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: other trips. And the thing about getting kids out of

708
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: the portal is most coaches aren't going for that, and

709
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: so Sam Pittman was among them. So Markey's gums now

710
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: is not an Arkansas razorback. I don't even know if

711
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: he got t shirts up there. He was there so

712
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: little time. So that sixty three, two hundred and thirty

713
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,479
Speaker 1: pounds tight end who had thirty four receptions for about

714
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty yards and five touchdowns in twenty

715
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: twenty two, he's back on the market. That's the bad

716
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: news for Arkansas. I do want to take that and

717
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: I want to glaze it over with some icing. That

718
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: tastes much better than that. Jahem Thomas from Cincinnati, where

719
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: they have just pumped out NFL guys and really high

720
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: level talents into the portal. He is an Arkansas razorback

721
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: now six four, two hundred and forty five pound linebacker,

722
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: former four star. Seventy tackles last year. I think that

723
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: was third on the team six and a half tackles

724
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: for loss. I think that was second on the team,

725
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: so at least they better defensively, if not at tight end.

726
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: So the portal giveth and the portal taketh away, as

727
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: Mema would say, and me Mah's got another saying that

728
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: she would apply to this next pair of individuals that

729
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: I need to talk to you about, and that is

730
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation in Auburn is as muddy as it

731
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: can get. Right now, Jesse, by the way, as I stall,

732
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: I need you to confirm for me that no news

733
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: has broken in the last thirty nine minutes since we've

734
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: been on air, because, as you know, this is my

735
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: nightmare when we do live shows during transfer portal season.

736
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Someone's just gonna announce while we're on the air. Okay,

737
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: no news. It's not only a good lone star song

738
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: from the nineties, it is the current state of affairs

739
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: at Auburn. TJ. Finley is in the portal. Peyton Thorn

740
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: is being crystal Ball to Auburn left and right. This

741
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: is what Mema would call a classic Lee County quarterback conundrum.

742
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: We got one guy going out the door because he

743
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,479
Speaker 1: thinks one more guys coming in the door. Peyton Thorn,

744
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: of course, is in the portal from Michigan State. And

745
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to begin to retell you the

746
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: story about what all went down in East Lansing that

747
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: led to him going in the portal because the receiver

748
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: who went in the portal because he didn't want to

749
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: play with him was going in the portal. Therefore, since

750
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be in the portal, and I lost

751
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: my other top receiver to the NFL, I'm going in

752
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: the portal. You're not okay, I'm not okay. But that's

753
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: okay because no one's okay the Michigan State portal story.

754
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: Or is it because I've got an update that's a

755
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: little more positive for Michigan State in a second. But anyway,

756
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: back to the Lee County quarterback conundrum. It looks like

757
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: Peyton Thorn is going to be the quarterback at Auburn,

758
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: or it looks like he's going to be a quarterback

759
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: at Auburn. Now. I have seen Robbie Ashford be pretty

760
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: vocal on the GRAM lately saying, you guys are gonna

761
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: regret doubting me. I hope he's right for his sake,

762
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: But it looks like Hugh Freeze, and it has sounded

763
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: like Hugh Freeze needs at least another warm body in

764
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: that quarterback room, and I think it's gonna be Peyton Thorn. Now,

765
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: Peyton Thorn has never been a guest on the show,

766
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: but I impersonated him the other night, and I told you,

767
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: I'll tell you again, if Peyton Thorne were sitting here,

768
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: he would tell you, if I'm healthy, I can be

769
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: a very very high level quarterback. Six two two ten,

770
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: got nearly sixty five hundred yards passing fifty touchdowns well

771
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: forty nine also twenty four interceptions. We do have to

772
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: mention that over three seasons, we think that's gonna happen.

773
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: Several crystal balls are pouring in for that. So let's

774
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: just wait and see now, and the interest of ending

775
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: things on a good note for everyone we've spoken negatively of,

776
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: let's talk about Michigan State. You know, we saw a

777
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: couple of guys go in the portal the other day.

778
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: We saw three of them actually, and one of them

779
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: we just talked about, Peyton Thorn. Keon Coleman went in.

780
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about him in a second. But

781
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: Charles Brantley a corner he went in the portal too,

782
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: and then he withdrew his name. So Meltucker worked his

783
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: magic there and at least pulled one potential loss out

784
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: of the fire. I guess we're not going to end

785
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: on such a positive note because I do still have

786
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: to talk to you about Keon Coleman. This is a

787
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: very big story to follow. You want to talk about

788
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: the biggest remaining domino to me in the whole transfer

789
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: portal picture here, it's Keon Coleman. Keon Coleman is a

790
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: very good receiver out of Michigan State. Win in the

791
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: portal a couple of days ago, and let me tell

792
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: you where he's got a visit set up. He's got

793
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: a visit set up at Florida State. Coleman's every bit

794
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: of six' for really big bodied. Receiver i've seen him

795
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: in person, before absolutely fits his measurement. Bill if he

796
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: lands At Florida, state that will give them a trio

797
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: of six or four plus receivers for a returning quarterback

798
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. To because you've got you Got

799
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: Johnny wilson, There Haikim. Williams and IF i Add Keon

800
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: coleman to that, mix that is serious size and Not

801
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: clemson size. Either there's. Versatility. Uh, there there's there's, maneuverability there's,

802
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: speed there's there's a lot more than just a big

803
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: body in those. Guys and at the very least there's

804
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: more than that With Keon, coleman because we've seen improve

805
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: it former four star in the twenty twenty one, cycle

806
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 1: and so that's what we're watching. THERE i also need

807
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: to mention to You Caleb brown BEFORE i get to

808
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: the final point. Here Caleb brown four star receiver that

809
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: was At Ohio. State he's committed To. Iowa he was

810
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: the number seventy eight overall player in the class of twenty.

811
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: Two iowa has looked around and they've, said, well if

812
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: we can't necessarily match up with some of these teams

813
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: in The Big, ten we can go take as many

814
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: pieces from them as we. Can so they went and

815
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: got McNamara the quarterback From, Michigan they Got Eric all

816
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: tight end From, michigan and they just Got Caleb brown

817
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver From Ohio. State AND i mean this in

818
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 1: all sincerity WHEN i tell you it can't get worse

819
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: offensively for. Him it really. Can't so good On kirk

820
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: And Brian ferrence up. There. Now, LASTLY i want to

821
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: mention to you something that didn't. Happen Malik, murphy quarterback

822
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 1: who lit up The texas spring game and is running

823
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: with the twos out, there even though most people would

824
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: have told you was running with the threes in. Spring absolutely.

825
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: Not Malik, murphy not so, shockingly got a ton of interest,

826
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: from As Chris hummer reported, today MULTIPLE sec, teams at

827
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: least One big ten team and at least One pac twelve.

828
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: Team and that's, interesting of, course Because murphy was never

829
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: in the. Portal AND i know that it shocked some

830
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: of you to know a little bit of. Tampering it's

831
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: just some light tampering going on there With Malik. MURPHY

832
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: i know it shock, YOU i may dishearten, you but,

833
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: yes this is a dangerous world we live. In Well

834
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: sark And texas were able to keep him on. Board

835
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: that's no small, task and they were able to do.

836
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: That that's a guy who could end up playing meaningful

837
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: downs For texas this. Year because if what happened last

838
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: year With, quinn you were going down were to happen

839
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: again this, Year Arch manning is not the guy that's

840
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field that right, There Malie murphy

841
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: that's the guy that's gonna be on the. Field just

842
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: like At, Georgia Carson beck goes, down it's gonna Be

843
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: brock vandergriff because you kept him on. Campus keeping these

844
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks is obviously a huge. Deal it's just a

845
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 1: more rare feat to pull off this day and. Age

846
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: BUT i tweeted out last night something that it was

847
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: very coded because it had to be BECAUSE i can't mention.

848
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: Names But murphy is absolutely one of. THEM i was

849
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: talking about WHEN i said this transfer portal. SEASON i

850
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: know it seemed, wild but if some of these collectives

851
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: didn't step up and keep big names from, moving it

852
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: would have been ten times more. Wild Malik murphy was

853
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: one of. Them murphy could have been on the. Move

854
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 1: The texas folks stepped up and put together an nil

855
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: package that kept him on. Campus and let me tell you,

856
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: Something Malie murphy is not the biggest name that was

857
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: held on to that very quietly was testing the waters out.

858
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: There i'll leave it at. That so it's it was

859
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 1: thought that this was going to be a wild cycle

860
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: and big names were going to be in, there and

861
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: some of them. Were but some of the bigger names

862
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: that could have been in their worn't because collectives stepped

863
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: up and they paid money to keep their best. PLAYERS

864
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: i guess in the nil, world if it were going

865
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: to exist in, it that's kind of sort of how

866
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: it should, work shouldn't. It so there you. Go i'm

867
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: not done talking About texas. Yet just to sit from

868
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: the chalice because we have to transition because It's Mood tracker,

869
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: Season texas Mood tracker. Time what is the mood? NOW

870
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 1: i have some very very close personal contacts At, texas

871
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: and so when it's time to do The Texas Mood,

872
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: TRACKER i don't have to do anything more than text.

873
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 1: Them and SO i texted one of my good close

874
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: contacts At texas today we'll call Him, stanley AND i, said, hey,

875
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 1: hey stan what would you say is the mood At

876
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: texas right? Now he said cautiously beyond. Optimistic that was.

877
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: All that was. Enough that was good for. Me then

878
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: he kept going and he, said we are walking a

879
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: tightrope To, babylon but it's a long fall to the

880
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: pit of. Despair so that's how they feel In austin right.

881
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: Now i've heard some people say something THAT i want to,

882
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: address and they have. Said at any mention of optimism For,

883
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: texas they've, said, well you know what history. Says what

884
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: does history? Say go, on go, on tell me thrall.

885
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: Me they, say, well history Says texas is an. Underachiever

886
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: history Says texas is gonna choke. History blah blah Blah.

887
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: Uh here's the thing about history At. Texas it's two years.

888
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: Old because history is only as relevant as your current coaching.

889
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: Staff What Charlie strong there has no bearing on what

890
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: they can or can't do this, year what any of

891
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: their past coaches have, Done Tom herman has no bearing

892
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: on what this year's team can or can't. Do so

893
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: history is twenty twenty one and twenty twenty, two and

894
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: over that SPAN i saw them go from five to

895
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: seven to eight and, five AND i saw him Push

896
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: bama to withinin one point at, home and THEN i

897
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: get to see him this. Year so, HISTORY i don't

898
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: know what it says to me other than they've gotten

899
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: better over the past twenty four. Months they've gotten. Better

900
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: that's what history. Says nothing about history tells me that

901
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: they can or can't win The Big twelve this. Year

902
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: SO i get the cautious OPTIMISM i would feel the same.

903
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: WAY i don't know about this whole long fall to

904
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: The pit Of despair From, babylon but if they say

905
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: that's the, mood that's the. Mood they are nineteenth in returning.

906
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: Production both lines of scrimmage have, IMPROVED i would say,

907
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: significantly and that's been a multi year, process especially on the.

908
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: Offensive they got one of the best wide receiver rooms

909
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,720
Speaker 1: in the. Country quarterback room is in excellent, shape especially

910
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: since they Kept Malik. Murphy you just saw on the screen.

911
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: There they are the odds on favorite to win The

912
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: Big twelve this. Year WHERE i have to hit the

913
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: pause button because just as sure AS i touched on

914
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: this ninety seconds, AGO i am going to again hear somebody, say,

915
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 1: oh they're the. Favorite, Huh, well you know what history

916
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: says About texas being the. Favorite we just went over,

917
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: this didn't. We, No i'm not going to recycle old.

918
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: Thoughts we just went over. This they're the favorite this,

919
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: year and they should be the favorite this year Because

920
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: texas looks like the best team preseason in The Big,

921
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: twelve and that's how odds. Work So week two is

922
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: going to be a pivot point for them. Again they

923
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: get to load up on food In week. One, actually J.

924
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: T daniels is going to serve food To texas In

925
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: week one because J. T daniels is the quarterback At

926
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: rice and So rice And Jay daniels are on the

927
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: plate In week, ONE i Expect texas to. Win week,

928
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: two they're At, alabama just like last, year different, venue

929
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: but just like last, year that's going to be the

930
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: game everyone. Circles unlike last, year the point spread will

931
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: not be three, touchdowns and unlike last, year people will

932
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: look At texas as having the quarterback advantage in the

933
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: game and the wide receiver room advantage in the. GAME

934
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: i look at it that way right. Now that will

935
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: be one that will not be for the faint of,

936
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: heart and that will be one THAT i am pretty

937
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: well sure we will be at In week. Two not to,

938
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: know not to just give away the tour destinations this

939
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: year before we even name the, tour but, yeah you'd

940
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to find us anywhere other Than, Tuscaloosa

941
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: alabama In week. Two, Now bama will still be a

942
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: point spread, favorite single, DIGITS i, expect but a point spread,

943
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: favorite and if they, win especially a, close competitive, game

944
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: has no bearing On texas the rest of the, year

945
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: it's a non conference, game you get to feel out

946
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: where they. Are but this is a big one. Immunity

947
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: do you know what the world is like If texas

948
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: Beats alabama in week, two and if you're less than

949
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: twenty years, old your answer is. No you've never experienced

950
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: Real texas. Hype you've experienced some cotton, candy red bull

951
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: sugar High texas, hype some Hollow texas, hype but you

952
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: have never experienced full blown national championship. Contender for the

953
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: first time in a long, Time texas. Hype you've heard

954
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: About texas, fight it pales in comparison To texas. Hype

955
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: If texas were to Beat bama In week, two first,

956
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: OFF i can pretty much guarantee you they be tied

957
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: With wyoming at halftime the next week before they eventually pulled.

958
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: Away but If texas Beats bama in week, two you

959
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: think you've seen, hype you have never seen. Hype if

960
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: they go in there And Quinn yewers outduels Hoomstever alabama

961
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: throws out, there if they carve up That bama, secondary

962
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: WHICH i think will be one of the best in the,

963
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 1: country if they Take bama down in their own, building

964
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: and then they Enter Big twelve conference play. Undefeated oh the.

965
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: Hype it would be a beautiful thing selfishly for. Us

966
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: oh the. Hype, Now jesse did come to me. Today

967
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 1: and Unlike Oklahoma, state which somehow avoids like every good

968
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: team in The Big, Twelve texas in terms of preseason.

969
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: Odds Now texas plays the number two, team the number three,

970
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: team the number four, team the number five, team and

971
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 1: the number six team. Calls they're the number one team

972
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: in terms of. Odds and three of those four games

973
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: are In. November they go K state AT tcu and

974
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: they Got Texas tech at the. End and by the,

975
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: way the team that's not one of the top six

976
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: is At Iowa, state and that's the second leg of

977
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: a back to back road. Stretch it's not an easy.

978
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,440

Speaker 1: texas thirty Four bama. Thirty i'm imagining what that world

987
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: would be. LIKE i, CAN'T i really. CAN'T i have

988
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: Experienced texas, hype but that, was you, know it was

989
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: several years. Ago, really in this era and in the

990
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 1: way media operates today and the way the social elements

991
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:55,080
