1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio radio. You can't be

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: surprised that Vandy beat LSU. They were favored to beat LSU.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't really think you can be shocked by the outcome.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: But you are allowed today to be shocked by the

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: one thing that we saw that I don't think any

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: of us really expected. No matter how big a Vandy

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: fan you might be, no matter how big an LSU

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: hater you might be, that was a dominant performance. And

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: that was a performance that tells us right now, no

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: matter what the level of the label is on the chest,

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: no matter what the logo is on the helmet, Vandy

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: looks like they can be competing for the college football Playoff.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz. It's Bucking fits on

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. And this is where you laugh at me.

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Everybody laughs at me. They're like, no, Vandy, No, come on,

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: there's no way Vandy gets the college football Playoff. I'll

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: remind you Vandy now sitting here, Buck, They're sitting here

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: with one loss, and that one loss is a road

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: loss to Alabama, which the committee is going to consider

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: a very good loss. Right, They're gonna look at it.

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna say it's one of those those quality losses.

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Is the college Football Playoff Committee likes to sort of

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: hang their hat on when they meet for the first

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: time in I don't know what a week and a half.

25
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: So we're gonna see and we're gonna find out quickly.

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: But if you believe that LSU could have won out

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: and made the college Football Playoff, then today you have

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: to believe that that's Vandy at this point. The way

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Vandy won today, not just because Diego Bobby has been

30
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: a great story, but the way Vandy one completely dominant

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: and capable of running their offense in every way, shape

32
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: or form that they could ever want against an LSU

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: defense that was supposed to be very very good, has

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: me just stepping back and saying, is it fair to

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: say this year's Indiana is Vanderbilt?

36
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: Oh, this year's Indiana.

37
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: This year's Indiana Indiana about to be the number two

38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 3: team in the country. Baby Vanderbilt cooking all in all cylinders.

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: You got Virginia pushing for a college football playoff spot.

40
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: What is this new world college football order that we

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: have found ourselves in. This is the best college ball

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 3: has ever been I think in my lifetime just because

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: of the unknown, the uncertainty, and the delightful new arrivals

44
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: for lack of a better term, but Pobby will tell

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: you they've been there the whole time. It's a really

46
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: cool story. It's good to be back on with you guys.

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: And it's a really cool day here in Nashville, Tennessee

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: because where I'm broadcasting from, FITZI somewhere in the wilds

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 3: of Connecticut, the rest of the crew hanging out in

50
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: Los Angeles today. It is a really cool day in Nashville,

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 3: Tennessee because Vandy has put their stamp on this thing,

52
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: and they have shown what they can do and how

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: they can operate when the talent profile is not what

54
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: you would say is a top twenty team or a

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: top fifteen team, or hell about to be a top

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 3: ten team potentially at this point in time, against quality

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: opponents who they have been down trodden by for so

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: many years. Did you see Nick Saban on game day today, FITZI,

59
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: when they did the picks with our dear friend and

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: Collige jelly Roll, Nashville native up there representing with herb Street,

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: who does also live here. Nick Saban refused to pick Vanderbilt.

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: He picked LSU. He's just got I don't, I don't.

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: I can't wrap my mind. And I'm paraphrasing here a

64
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: little bit. But Saban's whole point in picking LSU was one,

65
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: they have better players, or they should have better players.

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: They got more talented players. And two, I've looked at

67
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: Vandy as the dorm out of the SEC my entire career.

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: If you're Nick Saban, well guess what, buddy, your career

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: is over, and Clark Lees is here and Diego Pavias

70
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: is here, and Vanderbilt is building a very very strong

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: case for the college football playoff. How about Brian Kelly,

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: By the way, How's how are LSU fans feeling today?

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: Because it is one thing.

74
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: Two fans are begging for him to take that Penn

75
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: State job. Like I keep seeing all this. You know,

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: Penn State's gonna make Brett Brian Kelly an offer. LSU

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: fans are saying, cool, cood with me, get up, don't

78
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: let the door hit you on the way out, buddy.

79
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: Like the the funny thing is I mean you mentioned

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: jelly roll. I'll make a music analogy. I was told

81
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: years ago that there's two times you play like the

82
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: Indiana State Fair on the way up and on the

83
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: way down and on the way up. Boy, doesn't feel good.

84
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: You're like, man, we're playing the Indiana State Fair. This

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: thing's sold up. On the way down. You're like, man,

86
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: I was playing Arenas, now I'm playing the Indiana State Fair.

87
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: This doesn't feel all that great. I mean, it isn't

88
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: this game an exact example of this. LSU feels like, man,

89
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be way above where our record is.

90
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: So where they sit right now, even if they're still

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: sort of in the thicket things that have football ahead

92
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: of them, their fans don't feel like it. And Vandy

93
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: fans are turning around, they're like, WHOA, welcome to the party.

94
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: Like Mandy fans that first they're having that first time

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: that you got invited to do the keg stand. You

96
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: don't really know how to handle the kegstand. You're just

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: gonna do the best can to get through the keg stand.

98
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: Like that's Vandy right now.

99
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: Well it's appropriate because Vanderbilt, you know, I mean, the

100
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: student population is new to this whole thing.

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: Again.

102
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: It's like my alma mater, Indiana. I wouldn't have survived

103
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: college if we were good at football?

104
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

105
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: Look, vander Vil Fairs, I don't know what to do

106
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 3: is spending their Saturday afternoons to the library. What do

107
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: you mean we got to go to a football game?

108
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: What do you mean we're better than LSU? What do

109
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: you mean we could compete with Alabama until our quarterback

110
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: turned it over on the road in a big spot.

111
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: But still six and one.

112
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: Now Vanderbilt thirty one to twenty four to the final

113
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: out there on West End here in Nashville. And it

114
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: is a situation where now you look at the rest

115
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: of their schedule and you say, will they be favored

116
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: the rest of the way through? Because Tennessee has a

117
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: very important game today going down to Tuscaloosa playing Alabama

118
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: that's critical for both teams and their college football playoff resume.

119
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 3: Tennessee doesn't expect to be, or wasn't expecting to be

120
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: in this situation, and they find themselves in an interesting situation,

121
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: this playoff selection. As we get closer and closer to

122
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: that time of year, FITZI is going to be fascinating

123
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 3: given the type of teams here. But I almost don't

124
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: want to go along with your analogy that Vanderbilt twenty

125
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: twenty five Vanderbilt is this year's Indiana because Vandy was

126
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 3: showing this last.

127
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: Year, Indiana just exploded on the scene.

128
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt exploded on the scene is not quite the phrase

129
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: you would use there, But they had the biggest upset

130
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: in college I mean, I might argue, damn near in

131
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: college football history last year hosting Alabama and being able

132
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: to get that job done in a way that was

133
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: as cool a scene as you will find anywhere in

134
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: the sport. So Vandy just ratifying that last year wasn't

135
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: a fluke as opposed to Indiana, who is one of

136
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: the most improbable, just outright sports stories of my lifetime.

137
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here, and I think where Indiana,

138
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: by the way, deserves a different level of conversation is

139
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: to do it again this year with a lot of

140
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: different people on that team. Like I think Kurt Signetti

141
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: has shown you that he's actually built a program. Clark

142
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Lee is going to have to do this with the

143
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: quarterback not named Diego Pavia before he'll get that benefit

144
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: of the doubt. I just we got to see somebody

145
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: else before, otherwise I will remind everybody which as people

146
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 1: fell in love with it when it happened. Mel Tucker

147
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: got a ten year, one hundred million dollar deal because

148
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: he had a great year at Michigan State. It turns

149
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: out Kenneth Walker the third was a cheat code that

150
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: helped them win a lot of football games. They shouldn't.

151
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: I like to see it sustained through multiple classes before

152
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: I'll say that somebody absolutely belongs permanently in this infrastructure

153
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: of like whatever the new college football landscape is. But

154
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: it is interesting to me that we now are in

155
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: a world where I'm sitting here trying to figure out,

156
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: like LSU, who just isn't good enough? Okay, Michigan fans

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: or even on a win, Michigan fans are still sitting

158
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: there saying We're not good enough. But then you've got

159
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: Indiana over here, You've got Vandy over here, You've got

160
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: Georgia techt it's the number twelve team in the country.

161
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: In case anybody isn't paying attention, Like, it is interesting

162
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: to me that we're seeing typical brands, typical powerhouses in

163
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: the modern college football landscape feel like they've lost a

164
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: step when I'm looking at it and saying, Well, it

165
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: can't just be the acquisition of talent. It can't just

166
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: be the acquisition of smart football people, because Vandy and

167
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: Indiana have figured that out. So it's just it's weird

168
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: to me to see some of the brands that are

169
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: struggling versus some of the brands that are not in

170
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: this modern landscape.

171
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: I don't think you could recreate a lot of these

172
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: situations if you tried, you know what I'm saying. Like

173
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: the combination of Diego Pavia and Jerry Kill, the offensive

174
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: coordinator Vanderbilt, coming over together at the same time as

175
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: Clark Lee is working to build a program that's a

176
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: very unique set of circumstances. Pave I mean, hell, Pavia

177
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: may legislate to try and get a seventh year in

178
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: college football.

179
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: By the season, God, give it to give, That's what

180
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And c I don't care if the guy

181
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: wants twenty five years, give them all the years.

182
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a forty five year old super senior

183
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: Van Wilder out there quarterbacking the Commodorees. But like think

184
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: about it, it's a very very unique set of circumstances

185
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: that had to come together at the just exact right

186
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: time for Vanderbilt to be able to do this. Now,

187
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 3: to your point, what Clark Lee and his program are

188
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: going to look like in the post Pavia era, whenever

189
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: it is that we do arrive at the post Pavia era,

190
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: is going to be a story that's worth documenting Indiana.

191
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: And I don't know that you could recreate a situation

192
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 3: like Indiana if you tried, because in what world would

193
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: somebody look at a guy who's sixty one years old,

194
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: who spent his most recent coaching tenure at James Madison

195
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: University turning them into a formidable football program, going to Indiana,

196
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: a place that has more losses in college football than

197
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: any other D one program in the history of the sport,

198
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: and turning it into a perpetual college football playoff contender,

199
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: to the point where Indiana is spending eleven million plus

200
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,359
Speaker 3: a year on a football coach, like it's in insanity.

201
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: To that point in twenty twenty three, I saw this

202
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: the other day. He made six hundred and seventy three

203
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: thousand dollars as the head coach of James Madison. Then

204
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: he gets the Indiana job for about three million. In

205
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, they quickly give him a raise to

206
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: eight million. Now he's making an eleven point three, like.

207
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: Keep to three.

208
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: Who in the hell, like, raise your hand? If you

209
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: saw this coming in, then keep your hand up so

210
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: the whole knows who the liars in the room are. Like,

211
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: there's just nobody that ever could have predicted this.

212
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: With me, I was always a believer in Kurt Signetti.

213
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?

214
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: Bad?

215
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: My bad Kurts team Signetti Like, but that's the magic

216
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: of it. And by the way, it's the magic of

217
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: the college football landscape that currently Indiana is a better

218
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: job than Penn State, Like, there is no reason I

219
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: would leave if I'm Kurt Signetti. Why would I leave

220
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: Indiana for Penn State? What does Penn State have that

221
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't I got enough money. I got basically the

222
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: same operating budget between the two schools. When you're looking

223
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: at the only reason you could give me that one

224
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: is a better job than the other is the cachet

225
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: that comes with the brand. And I don't think in

226
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: the modern college football climate, any of the kids you're

227
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: recruiting give a damn about the brand. I think at

228
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: the end of the day, they just want to go

229
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: where they can make money and try and get to

230
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: the pros.

231
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to disagree with you solely from this standpoint,

232
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 3: and it was a big It was a big reason. Listen,

233
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 3: James Franklin got fired, and that is what it is.

234
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: And Penn State has obviously moved in a different direction

235
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: or will soon be moved in a different direction. It's

236
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: an interesting look at the current state of college football

237
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: where you can go from competing as a top five

238
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: football program, a top five ranked football program in a

239
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: game against another top five football program Penn State Oregon,

240
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, three weeks later later, you're fired,

241
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: Like it's nonsense that that is currently the environment of

242
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: college sports, just generally. But the reason why I would

243
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: still probably lean Penn State FITZI is because the talent profile,

244
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 3: the talent pool in state talent pool is just easier

245
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: to pull from in Pennsylvania versus Indiana, just as far

246
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: as college football and looking at the two four to

247
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: seven composites and the recruiting rankings and things like that, like,

248
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: if you are going to recruit your state, Pennsylvania is

249
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: superior to Indiana at this point in time. But if

250
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: that's the only thing that I can find, like, that's insane,

251
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: That's absolutely insane. And if you get the right coach who,

252
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: to your point, is going to make kids want to

253
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: play and parents want their kids to play more for you,

254
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: as opposed to the brand that they've associated their you know,

255
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: their college football aspirations with their entire lifetimes or their parents'

256
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: entire lifetimes, then yeah, you've broken through that fourth rail.

257
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: It's it's awesome. This is my favorite version of college

258
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 3: football ever. I know that we have talked about the

259
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: diehards and the people who are not willing to be

260
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: dragged into the future with all of the and it

261
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: has been uncomfortable right to arrive at this kind of

262
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: a point and to still have so much uncertainty around

263
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: the future of college sports.

264
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: But damn if it isn't fun, one.

296
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: hanging out with the Fox Sports Radio having a good

297
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: time with you on this incredible Saturday of college football action.

298
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: Georgia has scored, so we now have a thirty five

299
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: to thirty three game in the fourth quarter. For those

300
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: of you keeping track at home, the scorer is thirty

301
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: five thirty three. The combined number of punts in this

302
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: game is still zero. Neither team has actually punted at all,

303
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: so the concept of defense it continues to be dead

304
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: in college football. We'll get back to that game in

305
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: a second. But of course you might have noticed during

306

311
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: Uss Strauss dot Com. And it comes to my mind

312
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: because I don't know if anybody noticed this, but there

313
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: was a guy named Shoe Hay last night that seemed

314
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: to have a fairly decent baseball game. As the Dodgers

315
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: win and clinch their way to the World Series. And

316
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: I say all of this in jest. Shoe Hay is

317
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: doing something that I'm pretty sure we can safely see. Now,

318
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: buck Lake, I caution this. I am not a seam

319
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: head through and through. I am not baseball historian. So

320
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: when I say that he's doing something we've never seen before,

321
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: there's some guy that's gonna just run to Twitter and

322
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: be like, well, actually, oh, Reggie Jackson and nine like,

323
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn about you if that, if

324
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: you're that person that's doing it, stop your thumbs. I'm

325
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: not going to read your tweet anyway, as far as

326
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. It's the best.

327
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: He'll definitely read your tweet, and he'll definitely respond, and

328
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: it'll definitely get a little sassy with you.

329
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: Well, one or two things. I either respond or I

330
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: just mute. But when I respond, this is the most

331
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: important move. The harsher my response the faster I am

332
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: to then mute, so I never see what the person

333
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: has to say. So usually when I make your mom

334
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: joke to somebody, I've then muted it and I can't

335
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: see anything that they have to say.

336
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: After out onto the internet and then scurry away quickly.

337
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, see there's no real comeback to that, because anybody

338
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: that's had trauma with their mom like it doesn't I

339
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: have my own trauma, so like there is no there's

340
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: no recourse to it. All right, So can we agree

341
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: that the single greatest night in baseball history? Can we

342
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: go there? Buck? Are we allowed to say that? Now?

343
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: If you're looking at it, I think it was in

344
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: the fourth inning at one point show Hey had more

345
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: hits than he'd given up at that point. So you

346
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: just talk about the most dominant performance we can remember

347
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: of any athlete maybe in any sport in a very

348
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: long time.

349
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: It was incredible to watch six score listennings and he

350
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: struck out ten. He also had the thirteenth three homer

351
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: game in postseason history, the first, as it was noted

352
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: in Chelsea Jane's great piece in the Washington Post earlier today, which,

353
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: by the way, just such a cool thing to see

354
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: people still doing high level sports riding on deadline that way,

355
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: Like well done by Chelsea Janes. It was one of

356
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: the coolest games I've ever seen in my life, one

357
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: of the coolest performances that I've ever seen in my life.

358
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: And again to your point, Fitzy, we are not a

359
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: baseball show historically. I know that we are, at least

360
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: on a week by week basis still new to the lineup.

361
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: But since we've been doing this, both of us kind

362
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: of look at each other and say, yeah, baseball. I

363
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: don't know if we're gonna do that. Because I'm you know,

364
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: I'm thirty two. I can give a damn about baseball

365
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: my entire life. I check in in the postsea in

366
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: just to see, Oh, that's fun. The Mariners are in

367
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

368
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: Who's who? You know this?

369
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: This is kind of my curiosity as opposed to a

370
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: high level of interest.

371
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 2: But he he is.

372
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: So spectacular, so above and beyond spectacular, that you have

373
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 3: to stop whatever you are doing if you are in

374
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: the same room as a television set, sit down and

375
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 3: watch him perform.

376
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: He is at some.

377
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 3: Point going to be considered the greatest player in baseball

378
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 3: history for the things that he is able to do

379
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: on both sides of the ball. There and I can't

380
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: even begin to imagine what it's like to be a

381
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: Dodgers fan. I know Ian and Mary are in Los Angeles.

382
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if either of you have rooting allegiances,

383
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 3: and Shane's the only like public Dodgers fan, right.

384
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am not right.

385
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 6: We have a lot of them here, like Patrick and yeah,

386
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 6: like you said, Shae bo Bursch, I'm not but not

387
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 6: not Ian not not like do we have any allegiances, y'all?

388
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 6: I mean I grew up rooting for the Yankees when

389
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 6: I lived in New York, and then we moved and

390
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 6: then I was a Giants fan, and then I yeah,

391
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 6: I've just never been a huge baseball guy. I played,

392
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 6: but never rooted for it that hard.

393
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: Mary Mack, I'm a.

394
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 5: Lions fan, or a Lions I'm a Tigers fan. But

395
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 5: the only reason I'll be a Dodger homer is only

396
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 5: because the Dodgers do have the first sad Sinanies player

397
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 5: on their like minor league.

398
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 2: So okay, we love.

399
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: I've got a very good friend. Shout out to my

400
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: buddy Geo, lifelong diehard Dodgers fan. So last year I

401
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: would go to the Dive bar down the road and

402
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: watch all the Dodgers games with him, and I proclaimed

403
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the playoffs in his honor that

404
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: I would become a diehard Dodgers fan, which means I

405
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: watched during the playoffs, And that's about as far as

406
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: my diehard Dodger fan goes. But I'd like to think

407
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: that I'm the chef's kiss. The whole reason that it

408
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: finally turned around for the Dodgers is that I decided they.

409
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: Were gonna bet their counting rageous payroll, not not like

410
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 3: gobs and gobs of money that they're spending. You get

411
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: to the eighth guy in their lineup and you're like,

412
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: wasn't that guy like an MVP Canada a couple of

413
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: years ago.

414
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, look, at some point, though, this is where

415
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: I would say to baseball fans, when you want to

416
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: talk about the gobs and gobs of money respectfully, I

417
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: kiss my butt because here's the thing, Like, it's the

418
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: same group of people that were sitting there saying, oh,

419
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: they are wasting show hey with the Angels, and when

420
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: are they gonna finally find like, Okay, So then he

421
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: goes to a team where he's not wasted. He becomes

422
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: exactly what Major League Baseball needs, the absolute face of

423
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: the league, the transcendent star that stops everybody in their tracks.

424
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: And now you're like, but the Dodgers spend too much money.

425
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't Like, that's always the argument. If you're a

426
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: baseball guy and you yell at me that the Dodgers

427
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: spend too much money, I laugh in your face because

428
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, what you're really telling

429
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: me is that you're jealous. Because if your answer is

430
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: my team can't spend that money, google the net worth

431
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: of your favorite team's owner. Your favorite team can spend

432
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: that money. Your favorite team chooses not to spend that money.

433
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: So don't be jealous just because the Dodgers have figured

434
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: out that they can spend whatever they want win because

435
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: of it. Like I just at some point just accept

436
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: the fact that they're doing what you wish your favorite

437
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: team would do, spend copious amounts of money to do

438
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to win a championship. Uh.

439
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 3: Can you imagine being an Angels fan and like down

440
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 3: the road, the Angels fan are going to have children,

441
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: and they're going to take their children to Angels games,

442
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: and they're going to be explaining the history of the

443
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: sport and the history of the roster, and they're going

444
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: to tell their kids, well, yes, Mike Trout and show Heyotani,

445
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: we're both on our team at the same time, and

446
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: we were still terrible like that is just an unrelenting hell.

447
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: Uh to possibly imagine and it's the truth.

448
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: But you see what Shoe Hao Tani has been able

449
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: to do. Uh.

450
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: And now Los Angeles again is reaping the rewards of

451
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: having one of the biggest payrolls in Major League Baseball.

452
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: I don't fault people for having more money than other people.

453
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: It's how you spend it. It's the willingness to spend

454
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: it to your point fitsie and to feel a competitive

455
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 3: product or a superior product year in and year out.

456
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: It's and you know, to give us all a show

457
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: to see that guy competing at the highest possible level

458
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: because he's finally surrounded by the kind of team that's

459
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: going to give him an opportunity to compete for championships.

460
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the end of the day, let's remind everybody that,

461
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: according to AI, Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Anton and Tennis

462
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: COO I don't know is estimated to be worth around

463
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: one point nine billion dollars. So you know what, if

464
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: you're worth a couple of billion dollars, you can spend

465
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Also, even if you're not, there's not

466
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: a bank in the world that won't give a professional

467
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: sports team alone. I'm just saying, there's not a bank

468
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: in the world that won't help you find the money

469
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: if you need the money. So if your answer is

470
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 1: they're spending away with championship, just be honest and tell

471
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: everybody you're jealous that your team didn't do it. Let's

472
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: get an update on what's going on across the landscape.

473
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: We finally got a punt and I can tell you

474
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,240

477
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:35,479

00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 8: left in the fourth quarter. Like I think you just said,

481
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 8: Fitz Georgia with the ball, looking to try to score

482
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 8: here second and five.

483
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: Keep you updated on that one.

484

Speaker 8: Not much to update in terms of number one team

485
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 8: Ohio State in their competition today, thirty four to nothing

486
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 8: over Wisconsin just under six minute left in the fourth quarter.

487
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: Indiana and Michigan State.

488
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 8: This game hit a rain delay for a little bit,

489
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 8: but afterwards it was all Hoosiers fourteen points unanswered in

Speaker 8: the first half. That game was in a ragin delay

505
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 8: for quite some time. Earlier today we saw Vanderbilt beat

520
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,720

521
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: Ole Miss just punted for the first time in this

522
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,240

533
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: you a philosophical question. Okay, So we all have these

534
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: group chats that we hang out with, right, and so

535
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: I've got a group chat with a couple of buddies

536
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: that are big college football fans. And it's hysterical to

537
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: me as I read this because one of them is

538
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: a big Michigan fan, and so this guy's kind of

539
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: always falling for the Michigan fan. And you know, today

540
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: in a big win, and we were just having our

541
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: chat and I said, man, Vandy's legit. They could go

542
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: to the college football playoff And I immediately got the response, no,

543
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: they're not legit. Like, there's no way Vandy is legit,

544
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: which started a whole conversation about what is legit. And

545
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: this is where I think you mentioned earlier. It's maybe

546
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: this is my favorite year. I've been covering college football

547
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: at a professional level for almost a decade. This is

548
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: my favorite year I've ever covered because I just think

549
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: it is so chaotic, right, I love every second of this.

550
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: But there is a question of like, to me, legit means, hey,

551
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: this team could go to the playoffs and actually sneak

552
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: out a win, like if they were capable of winning

553
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: a game of the college football Playoff, they're legit. But

554
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: I think there also has to be a recalibration, like

555
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: a playoff team today may not look the way we

556
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: feel like a playoff team was supposed to look three

557
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: or four years ago, right, Like it used to feel

558
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: like the best of the best of the best got in.

559
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: Now it feels like, you know, there's just a lot

560
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: of parody. So pretty good teams are going to battle

561
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: pretty good team So for me, I think this is

562
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: really exciting. But the question is like, are you actually

563
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: legit if you're not really in the same caliber of

564
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: an Ohio State, but you are a playoff team. I

565
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: don't know how to couch those teams.

566
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: That's an interesting conversation.

567
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 3: I think you quite welcome, I am. You know, this

568
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: was kind of the discussion for us, at least down

569
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: here in the Southeast about the college football playoff when

570
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: expand when it expanded, Like, what was it actually going

571
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: to change to expand the college football playoff picture? If

572
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 3: you still expect the best teams at the end of

573
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: the day to be in the final four, to handle

574
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: the first round teams to handle the SMUs the Indiana's

575
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: of that ILK at that point in time, to still

576
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: have a champion that ends up being Ohio State. Who

577
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: I mean, is this all going to be for not?

578
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: Is all the fun of the college football playoff discourse

579
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five going to be for not? If

580
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: Ohio State just goes back to back the way that

581
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: they probably are going to be fair, They're going to

582
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: be favored, I would imagine against anybody no matter how

583
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: the college Football Playoff field ends up playing out here

584
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: in the next couple of weeks. As we get closer

585
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 3: and closer to those selections, it does feel like at

586
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: the end of the day, we're still going to be

587
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: talking about Ohio State, but beyond that, like who else is?

588
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: Who else looks like that pre eminent college football program

589
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: right now FITSI Because Oregon just lost to Indiana last weekend,

590
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 3: we talked about this or Indiana and Michigan State are

591
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: currently in a weather delay, but the expectation is that

592
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: Indiana will continue to hold serve, they'll be able to

593
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 3: win today and they'll become the number two team in

594
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 3: the country after this.

595
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 2: Oregon should have insanity.

596
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 3: Oregon should be considered in that conversation prior to that

597
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: Indiana game, but they got handled in the second half.

598
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 3: Georgia is leading right now forty to thirty five against

599
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 3: Ole Miss in the fourth quarter. But Georgia doesn't have

600
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 3: defense this year, which is like been their superpower under

601
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: Kirby Smart year in and year out. What am I

602
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 3: to do with Alabama after that Florida State loss? And

603
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 3: I understand it was the first week of the season,

604
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 3: but like, how much more mortal does Florida State look

605
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: at this point in time? And what is the result

606
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 3: of this Tennessee game this evening going to be I

607
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: don't know beyond Ohio State, who is who should be

608
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: considered the best of the best because the current state

609
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: of college football has upended all of those best programs

610
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: except Notre Dame in USC is going to be an

611
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: interesting one there today as well in South Bend because

612
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 3: Notre Dame, after their tough start, kind of slugging through

613
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 3: the rest of their schedule to try and get back

614
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 3: into the college football playoff picture. Looks like one of

615
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: these teams that should be talked about.

616
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: CJ.

617
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 3: Carr is excellent or has been excellent up until this

618
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 3: point and then Miami poop in the bed last night

619
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: against Louisville. Carson Beck, what the hell? Now, who do

620
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: we trust?

621
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean, to your point, Buck, Like, Okay, Ohio State

622
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: is great, and you know what, I logo be damned.

623
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't care. Let's just say it. Indiana right now

624
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: is a great football team. Right so, I think I

625
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: think Ohio State is great. I think Indiana is great.

626
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: I think Oregon, even in a loss to Indiana that

627
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: like that looks like a pretty damn good loss. Right now,

628
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: I think Oregon is still a very good football team.

629
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to trust Ole Miss, who, by the way,

630
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: just dropped what could have been a huge play on

631
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: third down and they're about to give the ball back

632
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: to Georgia. That's a tough catch, trailing it's it's a

633
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: tough catch, but you got to make it, got both

634
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 1: hands on the ball.

635
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: Come on, what do we do?

636
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: So maybe the one school he didn't mention with Texas

637
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: A and M Texas A and M Baby belongs in

638
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: this conversation. But I don't know. I just think that's

639
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: part of what maybe.

640
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 3: Even in them, FITZI, I don't trust them on offense,

641
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: they're two up and down.

642
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. So now we end up with this

643
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: really weird Okay, if we're really saying who out there

644
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: is legit, who's a legitimate national championship contender, well, Ohio State, Indiana,

645
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: I personally would still put organ in that conversation. I

646
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: don't know what to make in Miami. I don't know

647
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: what to make of most of the rest of the

648
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: top ten. I think part of what's beautiful about it

649
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: right now is we just we just basically don't we

650
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: just basically don't know at this point. Now you mentioned Miami.

651
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: I want to get to this Carson Beck, and I

652
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: want your thoughts on it. Carson Beck had plenty to

653
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: say because for anyone that didn't see the game last night,

654
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: he threw four interceptions, including a bad interception on the

655
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: final drive that really, you know, they were driving to

656
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: try and make something happen. They couldn't get it to happen,

657
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: and this happened at the podium afterwards, checked us out.

658
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: Listen to the entire thing because it starts out fine

659
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: and then it goes off the reels.

660
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 9: For Carson Beck, we had a miscommunication with the route

661
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 9: and what we were doing, so ran the route wrong

662
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 9: and I went to go through it because we're hot

663
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 9: off of the pressure, and again he made a good

664
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 9: play on it. So but it definitely didn't help that

665
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 9: we ran the wrong play.

666
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely didn't help that we ran the

667
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: wrong play.

668
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was with him until that very last just

669
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 3: little snide comment, right, And I don't know because it

670
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: went from explanation to oh no, it's that guy's fault.

671
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: Because it's a fine explanation, it's a completely reasonable explanation.

672
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 3: I think people, you know, can get caught up in

673
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: the context or without the context and just box score

674
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: watch and you would look at Carson Beck and four

675
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: interceptions and not understand that two of those interceptions were

676
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: tip drills. And if he's saying that the receiver ran

677
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 3: the incorrect route on the final interception, then it puts

678
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: Carson Beck's performance into a little different perspective. And I

679
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: get it. Listen, he has too many of those performances,

680
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 3: at least if you're talking about like NFL evaluations around

681
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 3: Carson Beck. And that's not the purpose of this discussion,

682
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: but still like he's he still has some inconsistencies to

683
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: his game that would make you wary of him as

684
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: a draft prospect, but just just you were doing so well,

685
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: or at least you don't have to look like a

686
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: jerk until that final sentence. It would help if we

687
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: ran the right play like you can't. You can't be

688
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 3: leader guy and take out your teammates. That way, you

689
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 3: can still be explaining what went wrong there in a

690
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: reasonable fashion without having to throw a guy under the bus.

691
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: And that's you know, whether he meant to or not.

692
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 3: I get people get caught up in a caught up

693
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: in a moment, moment when they're at the podium. I mean, hell,

694
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 3: I just a couple of weeks ago witness cam Ward

695
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: call an entire franchise ass. Turns out he's right.

696
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: But.

697
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: You know, it can be easy to get caught up

698
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: in the moment and then after the fact being like, oh,

699
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to say that, or I've said too

700
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: much in that specific instance. But yeah, man, it's it's

701
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: just a really really bad look for him.

702
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and point, if you're Miami, you're sort of reeling.

703
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: I will say this, Louisville's a better football team than

704
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: people were giving them credit for. There is no doubt

705
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: in my mind about that I understand they weren't ranked.

706
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: I understand Louisville's a better football team than they were

707
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: getting credit for. So I didn't think the last night's

708
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: loss was necessarily a catastrophic end of the world, but

709
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: it speaks to the fact that I just I think

710
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: we talk all the time about how the college football

711
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: world is becoming the NFL world. I will remind everybody

712
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: that very few people in the world seem to be

713
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: rooting for an undefeated New England Patriots team in a

714
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl against a wildcard Giants team that barely made

715
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs, So everybody wanted the chaos of that Giants

716
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: team doing the impossible. That just feels like where we

717
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: are headed in this landscape of modern college football as well.

718
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: It's not going to be about being the best. It's

719
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: going to be about being the last team standing at

720
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: the end of the year, which is chaos that I

721
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: absolutely love. We'll get you caught up on the scores

722
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: happening across the landscape, coming up and trying to figure

723
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: out when the right time is to figure out how

724
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: to move on from your coach. Do it next? He's

725
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: buck rising up. Jason fitz Bucking fits I'm Fox Sports Radio.

726
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. He's Buck Rising.

727
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm Jason Fitz hanging out with you, bucking fits on

728
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Georgia with the ball, third and three,

729
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: driving up by five, with two minutes and fourteen seconds left.

730
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: This feels like this is obviously gonna be the most

731
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: important play of the season so far for Ole Miss.

732
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: Can they get a stop? And really the grossest part

733
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: of this game, as you have a forty to thirty

734
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: five lead for Georgia right now, the grossest part is

735
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: that Georgia has over five hundred yards of offense. Like

736
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: there has just been no defense at all in this game, Buck,

737
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: And it's like these are both playoff teams. I believe

738
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: they're both playoffs. But but if we sit here and

739
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: say defense wins championships, I don't know in the modern

740
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: college football landscape how true that is. Now Ole Miss

741
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: gets a big stop, they are forcing a fourth down,

742
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: they're taking a time out, so that's going to force

743
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: a field goal attempt by Georgia. If they make it,

744
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: they'll be up by eight a touchdown and a two

745
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: point conversion. Reminder, almost has no timeout, slept, but they

746
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: will have the two minute whatever two minute timeouts since

747
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: college football refuses to call it the two minute warning.

748
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: Like the children they are.

749
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: You know, the whole defense wins championships. Mantra is probably

750
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: a little bit overrated, but it can certainly give you

751
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: a chance to compete. FITZI think about this, like, they

752
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 3: almost can't get a stop and it is going to

753
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 3: cost them a game by eight points on the road

754
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 3: in the SEC against a program that is gettable right now.

755
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 3: Georgia is gettable, and I understand that they put up

756
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 3: forty today in a big spot against another college football

757
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 3: playoff team that both of these teams I would expect

758
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: to see in the college football playoff picture as we

759
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: get closer and closer to that.

760
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 2: Kind of stuff.

761
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 3: But you have to have a shred of defense. It's

762
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 3: just like a moment of defense. It doesn't have to

763
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: outright win you the championship. I think, honestly, that's more

764
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 3: true in the NFL, where you're just going to give

765
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: your offense more and more opportunities if you can suffocate

766
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 3: an opponent, if you can just bludgeon Patrick Mahomes in

767
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl and get your offense the opportunity to

768
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 3: get back out on the field. But where points are

769
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 3: scored at will, where you know, a two two minutes

770
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 3: left on the clock is more than enough time for

771
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 3: both teams to score another touchdown in college football offenses

772
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: generated you know, NonStop forty three thirty five. Now, with

773
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 3: Georgia making that field goal two oh six left to

774
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 3: play in the fourth quarter there in Athens, Ole Miss

775
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 3: is probably going to fall in this spot, but we

776
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 3: will let these.

777
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: Fighting touchdown in a two point conversion touchdown in two

778
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: By the way, the snap was low. It was hell

779
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: of a job by the holder getting that ball up

780
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: and getting it ready. And the kicker has a weird

781
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: swaggy mustache. Can kickers have swaggy mustaches? Is Jenny?

782
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

783
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 3: What was what was old boys name from Georgia blanket Ship,

784
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 3: Rodrigo Blake?

785
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, But Rodrigo was like, I like, he's an interesting

786
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: and I mean that in a really good way, like

787
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: he's a really cool, interesting guy. He can have that

788
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: he swaggy.

789
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 3: You don't know that this kicker does. It isn't cool,

790
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 3: it's interesting. Also, Ole Miss has one fourth quarter yard.

791
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: One fourth quarter yard. I think that's the most disappointing

792
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: part of this game for ole Miss is it they

793
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: were up by nine, right like, their defense melted down

794
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: throughout the entire game, but their offense couldn't do any

795
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: The reason they're in this situation is because, as we

796
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: came to air an hour ago, I said, there hadn't

797
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: been a single punt in this game. The reason this

798
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: is now an eight point lead for Georgia is because

799
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: ole Miss is punted twice in the fourth quarter. When

800
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: they needed their offense the most, they couldn't get it,

801
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: Which is why to your what the point you were making,

802
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't think defense wins championships in college football anymore.

803
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: I do think the ability to make big plays when

804
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: you need them most is a huge part of it.

805
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: Like you're just gonna have to suffer through the madness,

806
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: But if you can get a stop when you really

807
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: need a stop, that's all the difference you could ask for.

808
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: I just saw the mustache, and I don't love the

809
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: style of mustard. It's a little furer esque to me.

810
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, that's not my not my favorite.

811
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I just better better mustache me or that kicker.

812
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: Oh you by far? Yeah, much better mustache. Your mustache

813
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: says I've seen some things in Lower broad beat me

814
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: this week Lower Broadway in Nashville. His mustache says, I

815
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: can't get within two hundred yards of a school. Let's

816
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: just be honest, like it's a weird it's a it's

817
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: a it's a weird mustache. I'm just saying eight point

818
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: three right now for Georgia in this uh. And I

819
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: think again, like the hardest part about this is I

820
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to over simplify, but

821
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: like this is where everybody Monday is going to lose

822
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: their minds, right, like what everybody tomorrow is going to

823
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: lose their minds about what's this mean? And honestly, what

824
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: this means is we got to see a really exciting

825
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: football game. I don't know if it was a good

826
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: football game. We got to see an exciting football game.

827
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: But I to your point, Bulk, I think these are

828
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: both college football playoff teams. I think we're these are

829
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: both teams that have their entire season in front of them.

830
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: So to the winner or the loser, it's like cool,

831
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: like you just you put it behind you and you

832
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: go to see next week. Like I think that's what

833
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: I love and I realized drive some fans crazy. But

834
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: what I love about this game is that it was

835
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 1: a great football game and we do have a legitimate

836
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: chance that we might see it again at some point,

837
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: and the SEC in this process becomes a complete and

838
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: utter disaster. Like trying to figure out who's good in

839
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: the SEC right now is a wild problem.

840
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and that again, we're awaiting kickoff here

841
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 3: in about forty five minutes between Tennessee and Georgia. Another

842
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 3: Top fifteen matchup between two Tennessee and Alabama, excuse me

843
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 3: down there in Tuscaloosa. That is going to be a

844
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: fascinating game because, in the same way that we're not

845
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 3: quite sure about the best in the SEC at this

846
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 3: point in time, there's a lot of conversation about who

847
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 3: the best quarterback in college football is. For Nana Mendoza

848
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 3: is going to be the odds on favorite, has been

849
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 3: the odds on favorite for a couple of weeks now

850
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: to be the number one overall pick in the NFL

851
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 3: draft or the first quarterback taken maybe in the NFL draft,

852
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: although I'm sure as odds to go number one overall

853
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: have improved on a basis. Ty Simpson looks like the

854
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: best quarterback in the SEC at this point in time

855
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 3: based on and you and I have had this discussion

856
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: at nauseum based on preseason expectations and how much higher

857
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: we were on Lenora's Cellars and Arch Manning and all

858
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: these other names that we talked about coming into the season.

859
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 3: Where Ty Simpson has been at Alabama longer than any

860
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 3: of them have been at their respective programs. He's gutted

861
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: it out, He's waited for his opportunity. He had a

862
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 3: slip and fall type of situation against Florida State to

863
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 3: start a season, and since then he's been excellent. Now

864
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 3: Missouri gave him a hell of a time with the

865
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 3: best pass rush that I think Alabama has seen so

866
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: far this season last week, and ultimately they were able

867
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 3: to outlast the Tigers. But it is the definition of

868
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 3: a blood bath right now in the SEC, and again,

869
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 3: I love it. I am so tired of one program

870
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 3: dominating everything.

871
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: As we sit right now. If this result holds, Almost

872
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: will take their first loss in Texas, A and M

873
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: will be the last team left in the SEC with

874
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: no losses and conference losses. So trying to figure out

875
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: how it plays to the playoffs. Is gonna be wild.

876
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: We'll get you updated on what happens coming up next.

877
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason fitz bucking fits on Fox

878
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Ole Miss

879
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: is just lost to Georgia and he's Buck Rising. I'm

880
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: Jason fitz buck. This is where I'm gonna tell the

881
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: whole world. Today is exactly why Lane Kiffin ain't going anywhere. Today,

882
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: is exactly why Lane Kiffin doesn't want the Penn State job,

883
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: or shouldn't want the Penn State job. Today is exactly

884
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: why Lane Kiffin's gonna be the head coach at ole

885
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: Miss for a very long time because at the end

886
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: of the day, he lost a game where his team

887
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: melted down, and yet again, in an annual tradition, it

888
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: just felt like nobody could execute down the stretch when

889
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: they really needed to in a key game, in a

890
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: game where there was virtually no defense, Georgia figured out

891
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: a way to play, Ole Miss figured out a way

892
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: to step on themselves, and ole Miss takes what is

893
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: just a terrible loss and the game that they melted down.

894
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: But tomorrow ole Miss fans aren't going to be calling

895
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: for Lane Kiffin to be fired. He's buck rising on

896
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: Jason Fitz. I just think there's a reality here, right Like,

897
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: as we watch this game come to an end. Ole

898
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: Miss is a very good football program, and I think

899
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: they have a tremendous shot at a great postseason run.

900
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: I think they will be in the College Football Playoff.

901
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: Everything's going to be just fine for ole Miss. But

902
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: as I watch Ole Miss lose and I hear some

903
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: of the scores that Martin just gave us, I am

904
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: reminded about the fact that there are a handful of

905
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: programs that simply think that they are held to a

906
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: different standard even if they aren't. And I understand that

907
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: Penn State fans don't want to hear this, but Penn

908
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: State fans fired James Franklin for losing the exact type

909
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: of game that Lane Kiffin just lost. And it's funny

910
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: to me because if the only thing in the world

911
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: they would ever make fans like Penn State fans happy,

912
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: if the only thing that will ever truly get it

913
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: done is well, you have to win a national championship.

914
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: If you are going to be the coach of insert

915
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: school name here, then you must win a national championship.

916
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: If that is the only line in the sand that

917
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: is acceptable for anybody. I'll remind everybody there's only three

918
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: coaches in all of college football that have won a

919
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: national championship currently, and they're not going anywhere. And every

920
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: one of the coaches that people think are gonna come

921
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: in and save their program are a hell of a

922
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: lot more likely to be James Franklin or worse, they're

923
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, best case scenario out, Alane Kiffin. What are

924
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: you get in Are you getting suddenly a juggernaut that

925
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: wins championships year after year after year, or you're getting

926
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: a really good football coach is gonna make the most

927
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: of what he has. He's gonna be competitive, he's gonna

928
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: be in it. They're gonna win some games they shouldn't,

929
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose some games they shouldn't, and across the spectrum,

930
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have interesting and fun college football years every year.

931
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: Because that's like a much more accurate description of what

932
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: almost every school in the country actually has.

933
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 3: So there's a lot to unpack there. First and foremost,

934
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin should go nowhere near the Penn State job

935
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 3: for his own sake, Cluck. I can't think of a

936
00:42:52,800 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 3: worse fit than Lane Kiffin in Happy Valley trying to

937
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 3: do the job that that that that.

938
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 2: Program is going to require.

939
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 3: I just I think that would have been a mistake

940
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 3: from the onset, and I don't think there's at least

941
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 3: there hasn't been reporting to the effect of that that

942
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 3: was ever a consideration. Now the Florida gig, with Billy

943
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: Napier feeling more tenuous or in a more tenuous position

944
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 3: than he's been at any point in his career, there

945
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 3: that that still makes plenty of sense.

946
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: Why why go to Florida? Florida is gonna be if he.

947
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 3: Why it's a better job because he has more resources there.

948
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: There will be more pressure there, of course, but that

949
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 3: is if you have national championship aspirations, you currently have

950
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: a cap on yourself at ole miss that. I think

951
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 3: that Lane Kiffin, you know, depending on his most honest moment,

952
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 3: he's probably got some conflict about the idea of leaving

953
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 3: a very comfortable situation versus the competitive side of Lane Kiffin,

954
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 3: which still wants to win at the highest level and

955
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 3: tell everybody to eat it on the way up. Like

956
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 3: I do think that that has to be factored in

957
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 3: fits y. I don't think it would be an easy No,

958
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 3: I'm not taking the Florida job just because people would

959
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 3: be calling for my head on a more regular basis.

960
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 1: Do you not, Like? Look, at the end of the day,

961
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin makes nine million dollars a year. He's the

962
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: tenth highest paid coach in all of college football coming

963
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: into the season. Right the names that are ahead of

964
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: him are names like Kirby and Ryan Day, Lincoln Riley Dabbo.

965
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: They're all making maybe a couple of million dollars. More So,

966
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: if you're going to make a move, if you're Lane Kiffin,

967
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: for example, and you're gonna make a move. The reason

968
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: this comes up is because if today Florida had blown

969
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: a nine point lead to Georgia in the fourth quarter

970
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: in a game where the defense couldn't get a stop,

971
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: and Florida had found a way to lose to Georgia

972
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: in a game that they absolutely could have won throughout

973
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: the course of the entirety of the game, Florida fans

974
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: would be calling for Lane Kiffin's head. And I do

975
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: think that that has to matter at some point, because

976
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,959
Speaker 1: you could certainly the amount of money that Ole Miss

977
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: spent last year on that defensive side of the ball particularly,

978
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: was staggering to put together a team that they thought

979
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: could win in the expectation and all Miss is, hey,

980
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: you need to be in the college football playoff conversation

981
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: every single year, and I think that's fair. I agree

982
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: with you that Florida because of the resources they have

983
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: in the state of Florida, the recruiting some in some ways,

984
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: the money, I believe that Florida can be a better job.

985
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: But I think that Florida fans have such a skewed

986
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: concept of what success is that that in and of

987
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: itself makes it less of a job. Like why would

988
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: you want to move your family somewhere where you can't

989
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: have dinner out on a Sunday if you lose on Saturday,

990
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: because somebody's gonna come up and say something to you.

991
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: And that's a reality.

992
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 3: You don't think that's happening. And it'll Miss too. You

993
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 3: don't think Miss fans. I mean again, they're not Florida fans,

994
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 3: and Florida has perpetual championship expectations. I agree that Oxford

995
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 3: is much more low key than gained Villows, but you

996
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 3: don't think that there's all Miss fans coming up to

997
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin sideways after a loss like.

998
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: Today, maybe, but not to the same level I think.

999
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: I think if Lane Kiffin spent the next decade losing

1000
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: two games a year and always being in the College

1001
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: for Ball playoff conversation, fringe team makes it some years,

1002
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: finds his way into it other years. I think if

1003
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: that was the reality for Lin Kiffin for the next decade,

1004
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: Olems fans would be very happy with the program they have.

1005
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: If that's the exact same description at Florida, you lose

1006
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: a couple of games every year, you're right on the

1007
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: fringe of the playoffs. Sometimes you win a couple playoff games,

1008
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't. Florida fans would run him out of

1009
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: the building, just like LSU fans run every coach out

1010
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: of the building that doesn't win a national championship, just

1011
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: like Bama fans are going to try and run Kaitlin

1012
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: to Bore out of the building if he doesn't win

1013
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: a national championship. And they're all going to tell you

1014
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: that the standard is only national championships, to which I say,

1015
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: that's just an old logic in college football, Like you

1016
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: rarely see, college football has become it's not becoming. College

1017
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: football is essentially the NFL at this point, when's the

1018
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: last time you saw a coach in the NFL that

1019
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: made the wild Card every single year suddenly get himself fired.

1020
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: It's so rare that it happens. It is rare to

1021
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: find a Mike Tomlin situation. Then that's taken years of

1022
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin getting to the playoffs and lose for Steelers

1023
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: fans to keep yelling about it, and even then it's controversial, right,

1024
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: like it's the same thing.

1025
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm just laughing because I saw the Titans do exactly

1026
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: that with Mike Malarkey. Is the first playoff game they

1027
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 3: won in fourteen years, and they can't trying to fire,

1028
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 3: kept leaking that they were going to fire and to

1029
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 3: e and wrap ThePort every time he advanced until he

1030
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 3: finally lost to the Patriots in the Division round. So yeah, no,

1031
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 3: I mean, good organizations don't do that. The one that

1032
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 3: I cover on a daily basis does.

1033
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: I mean, it still happens sometimes, but I think the

1034
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: college football landscape needs to accept that making the college

1035
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: being in contention and making the college football playoff is

1036
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: that is success. I mean, our mutual friend Harry Douglas

1037
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: always says all the time, once you get in the dance,

1038
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: got a chance. If I had a nickel for every time,

1039
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: if I took a shot every time Harry Douglas said

1040
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: getting the dance, got a chance, I'd be in rehab. Okay,

1041
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: But the whole concept of that is, like, it's not

1042
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: always about being the best team all year. It's not

1043
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: about being an elite juggernaut all year. It's about getting

1044
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: hot when it's playoff time and being the getting yourself

1045
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: into that situation where you have a chance. And that's

1046
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: that's the perspective that is lost on college football fan basis.

1047
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 3: I just saw the Wisconsin Ohio State score. They didn't

1048
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: score a point. No hosting that game in Madison, they

1049
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 3: didn't score a single point.

1050
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 1: O my god, do you think they still played jump around?

1051
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: I like to you like nice, just camparantal, Like they

1052
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: get to that point, camp rendle over the PA comes

1053
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 1: comes a voice and it's like we're.

1054
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 2: Sorry, we're not going to be doing any jumping today. Wow.

1055
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it has been a crazy, crazy season. This

1056
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 3: is going to be a wild coaching carousel. Not to

1057
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 3: skip past the college football season and get right to

1058
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 3: the idea of hirings and firings. But Dabbo lost again

1059
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 3: today thirty five twenty four SMU over Clemson. At this

1060
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 3: point in time, Oregon is clinging to a ten point

1061
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 3: lead at Rutgers right now thirteen to three, looking a

1062
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 3: little mortal as well. I am fascinated to see what

1063
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 3: happens and who decides to take which job, because I mean,

1064
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 3: who would you have prioritized for the Penn State job. Well,

1065
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 3: let's start here, because we talked about this last year.

1066
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 3: Was James Franklin fired by the time we got on

1067
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 3: the air. No James Franklin, No, no, no week fired?

1068
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: In fact, last week if you were listening to buckham Fits,

1069
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: our conversation last week when they lost that game was

1070
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: will he make it through tomorrow? Will we see him

1071
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: fire tomorrow? Which was funny to me because for my,

1072
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, day job with y'a Who's Sports. The minute

1073
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: he got let go, everybody was said, oh my god,

1074
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: this is shocking. I'm like, now, if you listen to

1075
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio on Saturday, we told you he was

1076
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: going to get fired over the weekend. Who is the

1077
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: right person to replace James Franklin is a really difficult conversation, like.

1078
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 3: Sidnetti would have been the guy, like Signetti should be

1079
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 3: main character number one in that situation. And Indiana did

1080
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 3: the thing that Indiana never does, which is said, weird,

1081
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 3: We're going to care about college football eleven million dollars

1082
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 3: plus a year.

1083
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know you start to think about what

1084
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: that means for other big names. I don't believe at

1085
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: Penn State fires James Franklin to go find a young,

1086
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:08,479
Speaker 1: up and coming coach. Should they yes, they should? Will

1087
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: they know? Because I think Penn State, like we talk

1088
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: a lot about the fact that you cover a dysfunctional organization.

1089
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: I am I am a fan. I am a fan,

1090
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: a diehard fan of one of the most dysfunctional organizations

1091
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: in sports, and like, look as a guy with the

1092
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 1: Raiders tattoo. I say this all the time. Mark Davis

1093
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: hires stars right or wrong. Mark Davis wanted John Gruden

1094
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: right right or wrong. Mark Davis wanted Josh McDaniels. He

1095
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: was the biggest name, right or wrong. Mark Davis likes

1096
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll like he likes name recognition. I think most

1097
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:43,240
Speaker 1: college football boosters are basically Buddy Garrity meets Mark Davis.

1098
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: So they got all have Friday Night lights glory with

1099
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: their program, and they're at the end of the day,

1100
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: they're star lovers. I'm using a much more appropriate term

1101
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: for that. They're star lovers. They want to go out

1102
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: there and they want to love stars, and that's why

1103
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: I think they're going to try and go for a

1104
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: big name. So I don't know, like right now, if

1105
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: you had to ask me, rolling it out there with

1106
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: absolutely no reporting and just pure speculation, John grud go

1107
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: out and get the biggest name you possibly can. He's

1108
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: not going to get an NFL job because I want

1109
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: John Gruden.

1110
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 2: I want John Gruden.

1111
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look.

1112
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 3: Why can't he get another NFL jobs? Flores assuing the

1113
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 3: league too? He's working in the NFL, I mean Flora.

1114
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Flores is going to get a head

1115
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: coaching job until the lawsuits drump, I don't. I don't think.

1116
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 6: What about like urban Meyer, would that be blasphemous for

1117
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 6: him being a former buck Eye?

1118
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because urban Meyer has moral standards.

1119
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, no controversies there. But I mean urbansvable

1120
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: urban that makes sense in a million different ways.

1121
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 3: I mean, like, I love that miss Terry's on college

1122
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 3: game day to day talking about Saban taking another job,

1123
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 3: being like, you know, I have no doubt that he

1124
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 3: could go and win his eighth national championship or whatever

1125
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 3: if he decided to, But we want to give our

1126
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 3: baby coaches a chance.

1127
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 2: Baby coaches is a crazy thing.

1128
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,760
Speaker 3: Let's say about national championship caliber coaches like Kirby Smart

1129
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 3: and Lane Kiffin and.

1130
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin quote tweeted with the quoted that and said thanks,

1131
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 1: miss Terry, only to lose today, right, like these baby coaches. Look,

1132
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: I think college football is better for no, for not

1133
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: having Nick Saban in it. I'm just gonna be clear.

1134
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: I think it's better not having Nick Saban in it.

1135
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they're because it makes things less predictable because, frankly,

1136
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 1: if Nick Saban was in this version of college football,

1137
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: I believe that he has shown that he can dominate

1138
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: every version of college football, he would dominate this version.

1139
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: All Right, you mentioned you mentioned wanting John Gruden as

1140
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: a head coach. When we come back, I will give

1141
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 1: you the biggest theory that nobody's talking about on John Gruden.

1142
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: Why he's gonna take a job and if he takes

1143
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: a job in the NFL. Exactly who his quarterback is

1144
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna be. I've figured it all out. I'll tell you

1145
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: that next. He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitzer, hanging out

1156
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: iHeart app. Speaking of the movie theater, I went to

1157
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: see black Phone two. Very good, all right, Like, look

1158
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: this is what black Phone two. It's a horror movie, okay,

1159
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: like and.

1160
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 2: Look Blackphone one.

1161
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: Okay, black Phone just made that up to.

1162
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: Me and I would have had no idea what you're

1163
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 2: talking about.

1164
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: Okay, number one. Black Phone two, by the way, it's

1165
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,959
Speaker 1: gotten pretty bad reviews. I would say this like change

1166
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: your expectations. We all kind of knew from the previews

1167
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: what it was going to be. Relaxed everybody. If you've

1168
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: never seen the original Black Phone, it is one of

1169
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: the most uncomfortable, suspenseful movies I think I've seen, Like

1170
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: horror is the genre that it's put into, but it's

1171
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,240
Speaker 1: not gory in that way. It's a wildly uncomple suspenseful movie.

1172
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: Like it's it's great this time of year. I would

1173
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: strongly recommend it, even to you, Buck Rising, even even

1174
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: to you. Also, I don't need a Bruce Springsteen movie.

1175
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it out loud, like if they're

1176
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: still alive and hanging out, like if you can go

1177
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: to your only to your own movie premiere. I don't

1178
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: know that there's anything more self aggrandizing than like, here's

1179
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 1: my movie, and like triumph con tribulation, like as Bruce's

1180
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: that's so tough, we're gonna make a movie about it,

1181
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: Like what are we doing here? I don't need a

1182
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: movie about Bruce Springsteen's life.

1183
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 3: And what's your theory on this you were telling us

1184
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 3: during the commercial break, Ian left.

1185
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: To remember exactly what the theory was.

1186
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 2: All the theory.

1187
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 5: Before the actor actors blows up, they have to do

1188
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 5: a documentary.

1189
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: This isn't my theory though, just to be clear, but yeah,

1190
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: it's that, like, well clear, is that not a fine?

1191
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: Mary Mack? Is that not a fine? Like not remembering

1192
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: your own.

1193
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 3: Hitting also greeting me with silence on the other end

1194
00:54:58,480 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 3: of the microphone.

1195
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: I was waiting for means to ask the number of

1196
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: the number of fines here for for Ian at this point,

1197
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: like you don't want.

1198
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 2: This smoke, You don't, you don't want the smoke. I've

1199
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 2: had a hell of a week, brother, you want to

1200
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 2: test this this week? Please? I just need.

1201
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: To step on up anymore.

1202
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 2: No, no fine speak.

1203
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean essentially, this is what I've heard though.

1204
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 6: It's that like in Hollywood, these actors who are kind

1205
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 6: of on the rise have to play a role like

1206
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 6: this where they play like a character role, like if

1207
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 6: you like Shala May played Bob Dylan recently in that movie.

1208
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 1: Austin Butler played Elvis Presley.

1209
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 6: In that movie. There's another one that I brought up

1210
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 6: as well. But the point is this is uh, Jeremy

1211
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 6: Allen White, I think that's his name. This is like

1212
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 6: his version of that and now after he does this

1213
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 6: for Springsteen movie, he's gonna be like totally on the

1214
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 6: rise in Hollywood.

1215
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like a rite of passage

1216
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: or what. I mean, the Bear didn't already put him

1217
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: there like it would be my my, he's done some

1218
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 1: pretty that's like he's on the rise type movie. Like

1219
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: you got to be in a show like that.

1220
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 6: That's like, you know, it sweeps the nation and people

1221
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 6: love it, but that's not like you're absolute.

1222
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: He's a star now because of the Bear.

1223
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 3: So you do the Bear and then you do the

1224
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 3: the biopic situation and then you get put in a

1225
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 3: Marvel movie. Is that the kind of that's that's what

1226
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 3: we're talking about.

1227
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: It he was really good. And was it Iron Steel

1228
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: or whatever with that? Yeah, yeah, Iron iron Claw.

1229
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 2: Dude, I saw none of these.

1230
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 6: That's the saddest movie you'll ever watch in your life.

1231
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 6: So if you're not into sad movies, don't watch The

1232
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 6: Iron Claw.

1233
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1234
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 1: The Iron Claw is like I kept waiting. I mean,

1235
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: as a as a big fan of that era of

1236
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: professional wrestling and everything, I understood that that movie was

1237
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna be sad. I didn't understand it was gonna be

1238
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: that sad, Like there's just there's no redemption, like most

1239
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: most really sad movies have a turning point of great

1240
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: redemption where you're like, oh, okay, like everybody felt better

1241
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 1: about it.

1242
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 6: No, not that that one's just like, you know, the

1243
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 6: worst part though, is that in reality they say that

1244
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 6: like the true story is actually even sadder than what

1245
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 6: the movie show, Like there was actually another news that

1246
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 6: I don't want to spoil it, but yeah, like it's

1247
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 6: just even worse, which is just crazy, Like that movie

1248
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 6: cut out the saddest parts of the actual story on

1249
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 6: it again, Like if you grew up an eighties wrestling

1250
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 6: venue somewhat familiar with all of that, go look it up.

1251
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: It's a it's good work. I'm just saying I don't

1252
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 1: need a biotic pick on Bruce Springsteen when Bruce Springsteen

1253
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: is still putting out records like or touring at some level.

1254
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: And I get it, like the audience for that might

1255
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: be the only audience other than me that's still old

1256
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: enough to want to go to the movies all the time.

1257
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: I understand all that, but I'm out on it. I

1258
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: didn't see the Dylan pick. I definitely and Elvis. I

1259
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: mean not a lot, but I didn't see the Elvis

1260
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: movie either, Like unless the Elvis movie wanted to give

1261
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: us all the just the uncomfortably gross details of his

1262
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: relationship with Priscilla. I don't think that any movie needs

1263
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: to be like you, Yeah, it's amazing how it glosses.

1264
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: This is why every time somebody comes in now and

1265
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: they're like, I refuse to support this musician. They're creepy,

1266
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay with Jerry Lee Lewis married his

1267
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: thirteen year old cousin, And are you familiar with how

1268
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: old Priscilla was when Elvis started dating at fourteen? So,

1269
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: like you know, we pick could choose where we decided

1270
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: certain artists to problematic and certain artists aren't. So that's

1271
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: why I just separate my music from my art. All

1272
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: the way around Florida is they're winning right now. Does

1273
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: this change your billion napier? Because all week, every college football,

1274
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: every college football reporter has come back and said, oh,

1275
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: the meetings are happening beyond the scenes, and Florida's going

1276
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: to be firing billion napier. Well don't look now, but

1277
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: two forty eight to go in the game at least

1278
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: for now, Florida is up there. We're pending review on

1279
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown from Mississippi State. But Florida is winning this

1280
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: football game. Like, I don't want to bag anybody down

1281
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: with details here, but billiy Napier might not give anybody

1282
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: a choice on his job because he's winning a football game.

1283
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 3: No, you still fire him, He's still firing. Come on,

1284
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 3: we're wait. They're at home against Mississippi State.

1285
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: Yes, they're in the swamp, they're in Yeah.

1286
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 3: I am not impressed. Mississippi State is a fine football team.

1287
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 3: Mississippi State has exceeded expectations, preseason expectations for whatever we

1288
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 3: for however much we still care about such things at

1289
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 3: this point in time. But yeah, I mean, I have

1290
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 3: no interest. If I'm a Florida fan, I have no

1291
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 3: interest in billion nape You're saving his job by beating

1292
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 3: Mississippi State at home in this particular situation when you

1293
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 3: set out with national championship aspirations.

1294
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: Look, I respect, I look Buck Rising. If there's anything

1295
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: you should know about Buck Rising, it's that I am

1296
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: not impressed. Could absolutely just that could be put on

1297
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: his tombstone. It doesn't like it doesn't I could come

1298
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: in to Nashville. I can fly into Nashville, arrive and

1299
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: I could do an entire dance routine with fifty people

1300
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: around me and have Buck's name throwing like flame off

1301
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: of the streets, and everybody singing a custom song that

1302
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: said Buck Rising. And he would sit there with his

1303
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: arms crossed and looked unimpressed through all of it. Where's

1304
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: I'd figured out the answer to the John Gruden question?

1305
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: Not only not only what's going to happen to John,

1306
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: but also whose quarterback is going to be? I put

1307
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: the tea leaves together before we do any of that, though.

1308
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,640

Speaker 1: in our business and one of the kindest people to

1361
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: me when I got to ESPN. It's a really incredible

1362
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: moment for that family, obviously for the late great Chris

1372
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: I figured it out with Gruden, and I figured it

1373
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: out based on a podcast that had nothing to do

1374
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: with John Gruden. Last week, Derek Carr and his brother

1375
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: have a podcast together and there were some clips started

1376
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: floating on social media Derek Carr and his brother talking

1377
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: a little bit about the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback situation and

1378
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,439
Speaker 1: Derek kind of being a wishy washy you can't really

1379
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: talk about that. Nothing to see here. And then another

1380
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: podcast for his brother, David Carr, where the host asked

1381
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: David Carr, so did Derek almost sign with the Bengals

1382
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: and Carr said, you know, I can either confirm nor deny.

1383
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: I could just tell you that if Derek comes back,

1384
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: he wants to play somewhere where you know they can

1385
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: have a deep run. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

1386
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Derek Carr's thirty four years old and

1387
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: he retired because of some shoulder issues. Did he retire

1388
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: or was he taking a year off from a situation

1389
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: that was just a bad situation for him and trying

1390
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 1: to figure out how to recoup to whatever's next for

1391
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: his career. The best success that Derek Carr has had

1392
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: was with John Gruden as his head coach. My wild

1393
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 1: prediction out here is that Gruden's going to look for

1394
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: an NFL job where he can draft a quarterback because

1395
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: that's the smart thing to do. But in the process

1396
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,439
Speaker 1: of developing the quarterback, he's going to bring a then

1397
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: thirty five year old Derek Carr with him that runs

1398
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: his offense. And then, all of a sudden, because Derek

1399
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,439
Speaker 1: Carr can come in and be that guy that runs

1400
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: John Gruden's offense, You're going to see a Gruden Car

1401
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: reuniting while they develop a young quarterback. In the NFL,

1402
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: which eliminates by the way, Gruden to the Tennessee Titans

1403
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: team needs does it.

1404
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 3: Why would that eliminate him. It could just mean that

1405
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 3: he comes in and says, no, get cam word out

1406
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 3: of here like you and I talked about this via

1407
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 3: text with Ian before the show started, because obviously the

1408
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans are the first team in the NFL to

1409
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 3: fire their coach, which, by the way, a laughingstock of

1410
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 3: an organization. I say this is somebody who is broadcasting

1411
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 3: from Nashville. I say this is somebody who's covered that

1412
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 3: organization for nine years. They are an unholy mess. They

1413
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 3: are an unseerious franchise by any stretch of the imagination.

1414
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 3: And it's not because they fired Brian Callahan, who deserved

1415
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 3: to be fired. It's because they don't know what the

1416
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 3: hell they're doing, and they continue to prove it year

1417
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 3: in year out. Also, Mike Rabel is coming to town tomorrow.

1418
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 3: In fact, he is here to kick their ever loving ass. Anyway,

1419
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 3: So on the Gruden thing, it is it is not

1420
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 3: impossible to imagine a situation FITZI like so long ago

1421
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 3: in Arizona where Cliff Kingsbury comes in as the head

1422
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 3: coach of a team in the Arizona Cardinals, who had

1423
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 3: just drafted a quarterback in the first round at that time,

1424
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 3: it was Josh Rosen. And listen, Josh Rosen obviously didn't

1425
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 3: go on to have success. He's one of the few

1426
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 3: quarterbacks from that class that hasn't had success. I think

1427
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 3: he's doing just fine in the I think he's in

1428
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 3: the personal finance world at this point in time, so

1429
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 3: it's probably maybe not making NFL money, but he's doing

1430
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 3: okay for himself. But as a professional football player, the

1431
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 3: Josh Rosen thing wasn't it. So they take Kyler Murray

1432
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 3: number one overall and the rest is history. Now Cliff

1433
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 3: gets fired, as I think you pointed out in the

1434
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 3: group text, three years into Kyler Murray's career. So it

1435
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 3: didn't work exactly right that way. But it doesn't mean

1436
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 3: that an organization can't, like the Titans can't bring in

1437
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 3: John Gruden if they were not so insecure as to

1438
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 3: bring in a coach who is going to demand some

1439
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 3: level of control over the football organization as opposed to

1440
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 3: letting all the meddling Game of Thrones type people who

1441
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 3: are wandering around the Titans organization make a bunch of

1442
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 3: football decisions they have no business making. And to say,

1443
01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 3: with a team that could very well have the number

1444
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 3: one overall if Ian Roddy's Jets did not exist in

1445
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 3: the NFL universe, to say no, this Camboard guy not it,

1446
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 3: because Cam did. Cam's struggling pretty mightily, and he's playing

1447
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 3: poorly and the football team that he plays for is bad.

1448
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 3: But he is also contributing to some of those problems.

1449
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 3: And that may not be a completely turn key situation

1450
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 3: for a guy like Gruden, who's going to come in

1451
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 3: and again demand what he wants. So the idea of

1452
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 3: him bringing Derek Carr with him would be awful. And

1453
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 3: I don't want to have to live through that experience

1454
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 3: necessarily as somebody who spends entirely too much time watching

1455
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans football. But I could see a situation if

1456
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 3: they were to empower Gruden where he would make a

1457
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 3: couple of quarterback changes and say, yeah, Cam Warden, I'm

1458
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 3: good on that.

1459
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 2: Well.

1460
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: Look, this is a very unpopular opinion of mine, but

1461
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: I think that the Tennessee Titans should make a decision

1462
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: on their next head coach based solely on if they

1463
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: think that person can finally turn the organization around. And

1464
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: if that means no cam Ward, you gotta be okay

1465
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: with it. I don't think you can hamstring your next don't.

1466
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you can. I don't think you can

1467
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: have caveats. I think you need the right person to

1468
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: bring in to lead an organization. So if one of

1469
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: your caveats say is well I want you, but you

1470
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: got to be into cam Ward, Nope. If you want

1471
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: the coach, then you let the coach come in and

1472
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: do whatever the coach needs to do to turn that

1473
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: organization around. Like to your point, you know, Ian's Jets,

1474
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 1: I think are a much better example of If the

1475
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: Jets go oh and seventeen. Frank Schwab at Yahoo this week, Hey,

1476
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 1: I think that I think there's a real chance to

1477
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Jets go oh and seventeen. If they go oh and seventeen,

1478
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn could be one and done. If Aaron Glenn

1479
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: is one and done, is Gruden Carr a combination? While

1480
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: you draft a quarterback you know that you hope you

1481
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: can develop into it, that sort of becomes the new

1482
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,439
Speaker 1: bridge for the Jets. I don't know, but I think

1483
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: if you're looking at it from the Titans standpoint. My god,

1484
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to start with

1485
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: the pool of candidates and then say, okay, now let's

1486
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: filter these candidates. No, I'm not filtering anything. I'm going

1487
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: to hire the best candidate. And if the best candidate

1488
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: walks in the room and says here's my plan to

1489
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: fix your organ and you love it, and he says,

1490
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: by the way, one small thing, I don't want cam

1491
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: Warden as my quarterback. Cool, all right, move on, like

1492
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't think when you are as

1493
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: bad as the Titans have been for as long as

1494
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: they've been, if the person that they think can fix

1495
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't want cam Warden, then you get rid of

1496
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: cam Ward. If it happens to work out, like great,

1497
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: that cam is what this person wants that comes into

1498
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: the organization, that's awesome. But I don't think you even

1499
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: have the conversation with you. Let that coach come in

1500
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: from the outset and say yes or no to cam

1501
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: Ward and whatever he says, that's the answer you take.

1502
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 2: Well.

1503
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 3: The person making the decisions in Tennessee, Amy Adams Strunk,

1504
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 3: who is making a push for the worst owner in

1505
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 3: professional sports right now with her. Mike Silver came on

1506
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 3: the radio the Local radio show this week and called

1507
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 3: her gutless for her lack of appearances in the last

1508
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 3: four firings of Titans administrators and coaches, Brian Callahan being

1509
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 3: the latest head to roll. At this point in time,

1510
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 3: she fired a coach and then decided to build around

1511
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,600
Speaker 3: will Us. So I have no confidence whatsoever that you

1512
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 3: wouldn't make the same mistake and do the exact same

1513
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 3: thing with cam Ward, even though I completely agree and

1514
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 3: understand what you're saying. Ian, would you like the Gruden

1515
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 3: car combination in New York if Aaron Glenn is fired?

1516
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 2: Would that? Would that make you happy?

1517
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: It would not.

1518
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 6: I also everyone just talking about anything like such a

1519
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 6: shoe and no, nothing would. But everyone talks about him

1520
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 6: like he's a shoe in to be this great head

1521
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 6: coach when he returns, but like he wasn't that good

1522
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,799
Speaker 6: with the Raiders. As Fitz knows, his drafting was awful.

1523
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,799
Speaker 6: He drafted Henry Ruggs, Like was that guy Damon Arnette?

1524
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 6: That Ohio State first round Alex Leatherwood. I'm just remembering

1525
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 6: all these crazy Gaitland Ferrell agreed Cleveland fair all these

1526
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 6: egregious first round.

1527
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 1: That was Mayock.

1528
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:45,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand that he was.

1529
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: In the room, yeah big saying it. He had to

1530
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: know the drafting. The reason most teams are bad they

1531
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: draft poorly. And I would argue that Gruden in his

1532
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: entire career never drafted well. Like you look back at

1533
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: the the era of the Raiders being great, and that

1534
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: era of the Raiders were great because he was able

1535
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: to identify veteran talent and bring that veteran talent in.

1536
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: If you want to win through the draft, you don't

1537
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: want Gruden as your coach. You want Gruden to come

1538
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: in and say, Okay, I want Jerry Rice, and I

1539
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:14,839
Speaker 1: want Tim Brown, and I want Rich Cann I'm remembering

1540
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: Rich had been in the league for several years, is

1541
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,680
Speaker 1: a backup in Kansas City. So where Gruden did a

1542
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: good job was he understood how to evaluate existing NFL

1543
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: talent and then get the most out of that existing

1544
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: NFL talent in his system. That's why, honestly, I think

1545
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: in the modern college football climate, he'd be pretty good

1546
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: as a college football coach because he'd just go out

1547
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: and pluck the nil. But we wouldn't have to develop anybody.

1548
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: You just go out there and the nil you get everybody,

1549
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a team full of twenty three twenty

1550
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: four year olds that played a lot of college football,

1551
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 1: and you bring him in and say, all right, now

1552
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: learn my system, you know, essentially doing what Kaylin Dmore

1553
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: was able to do with Michael Pennix and Romadoonsay and

1554
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: those guys like that's that's I think the method for Gruden.

1555
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: But Ian to your point, he never drafted well even

1556
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: when those teams went to the Super Bowl, and the

1557
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowl he won was filled with the cupboard full

1558
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: of talent, but that he also did not draft with

1559
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. So the draft has never been like, you

1560
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: get Gruden because you want to go out there and

1561
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:06,799
Speaker 1: hammer free agency.

1562
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 6: So if you pair him with a really good GM,

1563
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 6: then he could be a great guy to bring in.

1564
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: But it's just like just don't don't let him touch

1565
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: the draft. I think he'd also have to have the

1566
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: I say this gently, his ego would have to allow

1567
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: somebody else to make the decisions on what's going on.

1568
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know that that that exists for coach,

1569
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't know if Gruden really has

1570
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: that level of like no, no, no, no, no, I

1571
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: trust you you're great. Yeah, you go ahead and pick

1572
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: the players like I Just that doesn't none of this.

1573
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:37,799
Speaker 1: You're right, by the way, the reputation of John Gruden

1574
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,719
Speaker 1: is far better than the actual evidence on the field

1575
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: of what John Gruden has accomplished. It just I think

1576
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 1: there are certain organizations that are hungry for you know,

1577
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 1: a name, no definite with James. Yeah, when James Dolan

1578
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: brought in Phil Jackson to fix the Knicks, Phil Jackson

1579
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:54,600
Speaker 1: was never going to fix the Knicks. It was just

1580
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: a big name, and some people like big names.

1581
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 3: I mean, for God, Sex Fitzy. I would want to

1582
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 3: Gruden just to give people a reason to care about

1583
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 3: the team that I covered. There's no other reason to

1584
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 3: care about the Tennessee Titans heading into twenty twenty six

1585
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 3: at this point in time. I mean, cam word is

1586
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 3: a nice thing, but if he doesn't pan out and

1587
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 3: they continue to screw around like they have no they

1588
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 3: have nothing that is deserving of the marque. Jeff Simmons

1589
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 3: is excellent. He's playing such good football. He's the best

1590
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 3: interior defensive lineman in the sport right now and he's

1591
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 3: lost on a one in five about to be one

1592
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 3: and six football team after Mike Rible comes in here

1593
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 3: and kurb stops them.

1594
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 1: Tomorrow Mississippi State. Easy for me to say, has the

1595
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: ball minute and thirty to go in the game, down

1596
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: by two and they are driving. We will update you

1597
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: on what this looks like for what could be the

1598
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 1: last game for Billion Apier on the sidelines. We could

1599
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: have another coach opening. We don't root for it on

1600
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: the show. It's just feels like inevitability. Sleepy is just

1601
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: just slipping away. So we'll keep you updated on that.

1602
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 1: Plus the single greatest game show in the history of

1603
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: sports talk radio? Would you rather get to come up next?

1604
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:03,919
Speaker 1: Buck Rising? Jason Fitz on Fox Which Radio. Yeah, Florida's

1605
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna hang on and get the win over Mississippi State.

1606
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: We'll see if that helps Billy Napier hang on to

1607
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: his job. And a big update for you in the NFL.

1608
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: Tom Pellisero tweeting out the Packers have yet to depart

1609
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: for Arizona because the mechanical issues with the team plane.

1610
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 1: The team is now approaching a five hour delay. They're

1611
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: still on the tarmac. Remember, kickoff against the Cardinals is

1612
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: at one twenty five pm Mountain Times Sunday. So just

1613
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 1: a little interesting nugget for them is that we'll disrupt

1614
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: a bit of their a bit of their timing. He's

1615
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: Buck rising on Jason Fitz. Were hanging out with you

1616
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio as always. Let's get straight to it.

1617
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 5: Ian.

1618
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,599
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, we don't want to get we don't

1619
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: want to be late to anything. Ian, Let's get to

1620
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: the single greatest game show in the history of Sportscark Radio.

1621
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: It's time for Wood.

1622
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 2: You rather nailed it.

1623
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: That was so bad.

1624
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 6: Speaking of being late, one of you was late there

1625
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 6: on that in that unison announcement there.

1626
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: But we have a delay. We have a delay, not

1627
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 1: on us, but I mean it's it's impossible. We have

1628
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: a delay, and there's nothing hard to tell, you know what.

1629
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: I think the real problem is that, you know, the

1630
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: four or five apparently the four or five just to

1631
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: kind of screwed us up a little bit.

1632
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 2: Do I think he gets a fine for that?

1633
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: I think he gets a fine. Mary Mack, by the way,

1634
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: gets double pay today, Double pay for Mary Mac. Would

1635
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: you rather pay double to Mary Mack? Answers yes, he

1636
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: is walking off the show. He's like, I'm out, he's protesting.

1637
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 1: This is not even dignifying us with a response, spin

1638
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: the wheel in the wheel.

1639
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 6: Okay, guys, would you rather every hoodie string be uneven

1640
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 6: forever when you were hoodie? Or every zipper stop an

1641
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 6: inch short of closing.

1642
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 3: By the way, Yeah, I guess see. I will, depending

1643
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 3: on like the kind of pullover I'm wearing, Like sometimes

1644
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 3: I will zip them all the way up, but I

1645
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 3: feel like, bleep off, Mary, I think that it would

1646
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 3: drive me more insane to have my hoodie strings be uneven,

1647
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 3: Like that is one thing that I am ocd about. Absolutely,

1648
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 3: give me the the zipper that won't go all the

1649
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 3: way up.

1650
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 1: I ad your fly. Yeah, I don't care, of course.

1651
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 2: You know what is this a new thing?

1652
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 3: Like when's the last time anybody bought a new pair

1653
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 3: of jeans on this show? Because the last like three

1654
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 3: pairs of jeans have bought, they don't come with zippers.

1655
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 3: They come with the buttons. It's like five buttons. It

1656
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 3: takes me an hour and a half to pee.

1657
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you do realize that if you just aggressively

1658
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: pull on the top button the alogic Yeah, talking.

1659
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 2: About, you know, button it back up. I look like

1660
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:05,720
Speaker 2: proper at the urinal.

1661
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: Again, Like I'm at disappointment. I'm at the point in

1662
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 1: my life where I just don't care if that's gonna happen.

1663
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna button the top button and whatever whatever,

1664
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 1: whatever happens happens, whatever happens happened. You know, there we go.

1665
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Uh No, I was, so I was. Uh, you know,

1666
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 1: I work out. I was at the gym the other day,

1667
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: and I wear enough hoodie basically every day of my life.

1668
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: And I literally threw down the weights and disgust and

1669
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 1: let out a four letter word because I couldn't get

1670
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: the two strings to align, and it was really pissing

1671
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 1: me off. So there's no question about this. Like, I

1672
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: don't care if I'm walking around with my pants barely on,

1673
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 1: but I will not have my hoodie strings not aligned.

1674
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,720
Speaker 1: So I'm all in on a I need hoodie string

1675
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 1: alignment priorities. There you go. Although hoodie strings won't get

1676
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 1: me arrested, and you know, my my zipper being down mite,

1677
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: so I should probably reprioritiz go. What do we got next?

1678
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 6: Okay, would you rather your shoelaces always have a very

1679
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 6: hard time staying tied, or your phone screen always has

1680
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 6: a smudge in the middle of it.

1681
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't care about phone screen smudges like I

1682
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: just I don't care able smudge like you can. Yeah. No,

1683
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: I walked, I walked in. I walked in the room

1684
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: the other day and Annabel was just like licking my

1685
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:25,680
Speaker 1: phone like it was just like it had gone out

1686
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: of style. I don't care, like I already has smudges. Yeah,

1687
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 1: I don't care about phone smudges at all. What was it? Wait,

1688
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 1: what was the first half of the woods we I

1689
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: already forgotten that I smoked shoe Yeah, shoelaces coming untied

1690
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: is absolutely that's a nightmare. That's a nightmare, buck, I'm

1691
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:39,519
Speaker 1: out on that one.

1692
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 3: No, the phone smudge is gross because then I don't

1693
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 3: know what the smudge is. The phone goes up to

1694
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 3: your face on a regular basis, is the smudge now

1695
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 3: on my face?

1696
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 2: Dogs are disgusting. Keep your tongue off my phone.

1697
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 1: You spent half this show with the cat sitting on

1698
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: your shoulders, looking at you but grudging like I'm watching face.

1699
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 5: I know that's not the same that's not the same thing.

1700
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 2: We're literally sitting on my shoulder for and just.

1701
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: Looking at you, like what are you doing? Why?

1702
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 5: Like him like your your dog is phone and the

1703
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 5: phone was going on your face.

1704
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,600
Speaker 1: My dog looks my face. I don't care. Like if

1705
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: Annabel walks up and looks my face, I don't care.

1706
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: At least once a week when I'm sitting there like

1707
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: half asleep on the couch with my mouth wide open

1708
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 1: like dog tongue and never really just laps over my face.

1709
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: And I don't know that I wouldn't take that way.

1710
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 2: We are now into animal husbandry.

1711
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: Fine, okay, I love my dog. By The Arizona States

1712
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 1: just pulled off a massive upset. They had beaten Texas

1713
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 1: Text twenty six twenty two. The number seventeen in the

1714
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: land has fallen. But more importantly, let's get another question.

1715
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: Spin Texas Tech loses. Get back to the wheel. I

1716
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 1: don't care about Texas Tech, all right? This one's funny.

1717
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 6: Would you rather be invisible but only when no one's looking?

1718
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 6: Or read minds but only when people are thinking about food?

1719
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,799
Speaker 2: Invisible when no one's looking.

1720
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 3: I guess I don't want people useless food thoughts in

1721
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 3: my head because I feel like.

1722
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: Both powers are pretty useless there.

1723
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,679
Speaker 3: These are fundamentally useless powers. But I suppose the ability

1724
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 3: to duck out at a moment's notice when somebody's not

1725
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 3: looking at me would make me happy.

1726
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: I already do that at most parties. And by the way,

1727
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: you would be so enraged that you could be invisible

1728
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: and nobody would ever believe you because they couldn't see

1729
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 1: it happen, So that would drive you crazy. I just

1730
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: want to be able to judge people for their food,

1731
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 1: like I want to be sitting at a bar and

1732
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: be like, you really think you need pizza? All right?

1733
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: Stick around Fox Sports Radio Jason Vinci's book Wire Rising.

1734
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend.
