1 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: You know, the thing that sucks about having a wildest 2 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: successful show, which we have here is people expect you 3 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: to do it at the same time every week. Well, 4 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: that guess that's fair. That doesn't suck, But point remains. 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: I was supposed to have this out to you yesterday, 6 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: but I'm recording it in my place of residence and 7 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: they're doing a ton of construction. So I figure to myself, 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: let me let them get the construction out of the 9 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: way since I don't have a sound proof studio here 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: in my apartment, and we'll just record tomorrow. It is 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: now tomorrow, and the construction continues outside. So I'm sorry. 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: I want all the credit, I want none of the blame. 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: That's always been my policy, and you guys have always 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: adhered to it. So if you hear a little noise 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: in the background, if it sounds like there's a jackcamera 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: operator just off stage, it's caused there's basically a jackammera 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: operator just off stage. But look, first world problems. We 18 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: got the number one college football show in all of 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: digital media right now. I posted something about that yesterday. 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: All I can say is thank you. We get to 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: keep the show free because you guys do exactly what 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: I ask you to do, and all that is is subscribe. 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: Make sure you're sub to the YouTube channel in the podcast, 24 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: and I assume if you're listening you are. Make sure 25 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: you get five of your friends. It's a big recruiting 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: effort that we have underway here at Payton State. We 27 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: do college football the way that folks like us want 28 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: it done. And there are just a little ps, just 29 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: a little fyi here, let me count. There are at 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: least two really major things moving behind the scenes with 31 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: the show, maybe three. I can't remember what I've told 32 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: you and what I haven't told you, but there's a 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: lot going on. I know it's June, it's about to 34 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: be July. There's a lot going on, and we'll have 35 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: it all in place in time or announced in time 36 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: for the fall college football season. And that's not even 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: to mention we haven't named the tour this fall yet. 38 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: That's not even to mention gas station recruiting wars are 39 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: still going on. I'm not even talking about that above 40 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: and beyond those big announcements coming. So don't miss a show, 41 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to tell you. Okay, we dive 42 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: into the mail bag at Late Kick Josh if you 43 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: want to submit a question here and you need to 44 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: be following on the social accounts anyway, at Late Kick Josh, 45 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: First up, John from New Caney, Texas had a good one. 46 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: He said, think back a couple of years ago, how 47 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: would LSU and USC look today had Lincoln Riley gone 48 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: to LSU instead of USC? Now, that was a big story. 49 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: That was a huge story. Remember that LSU they fire 50 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: oarseron where are they gonna go? Where they're gonna go, 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: smoke that Lincoln Riley could come there from Oklahoma. And 52 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: then Lincoln Riley does move, but he goes to USC, 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: which to me is one of the bigger bombshell announcements 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: in recent college football history. And so you know now 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: they're going to play each other to start the year. 56 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: Just a side note, I think this is an ironic 57 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: question because we already got our answer with LSU. LSU's 58 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season is exactly what it would have 59 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: looked like had Lincoln Riley come there. In fact, had 60 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: I cryogenically frozen you during the those coaching rumors a 61 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: few years back, and then I thawed you out now 62 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: and I told you, hey, guess what We're coming off 63 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: a year where LSU had the Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback, 64 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: they had a prolific, explosive offense, defense was among the 65 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: worst in the conference. Defensively, they had the worst staff 66 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: in the conference. From a performative standpoint, you would have said, Okay, 67 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: that makes sense, So Lincoln Riley must have gone there. No, Actually, 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly from Notre Dame went there. Well where's Lincoln Riley. 69 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: Oh he's out at USC hiring the defensive coordinator from 70 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: across town, promising the completely reinvented program. So yeah, that's 71 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: where we are. I really, if you think about that, 72 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: if Lincoln Riley had been at LSU two years in, 73 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: how would you have expected his LSU Tigers to look? 74 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: That's about how you would have expected it to look, right. 75 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: And then the other part of that question that I 76 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: don't know the answer to is had Lincoln Riley not 77 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: gone to USC, who would they have hired? Where would 78 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: they have gone? Because there were a lot of names 79 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: involved in that search as well that we don't talk 80 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: about anymore because they end up getting linken ridly. That's 81 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: a good question, though. Jay is next from Palmetto, Florida, 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: how are we supposed to view the playoff teams in 83 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: the five through twelve spots. Should they be viewed as 84 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: legitimate playoff programs or are they seen as only being 85 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: there because the bar was lowered? Will you use two 86 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: different words there, Jay, You said team and you said program, 87 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: and a team is not a program? Very different things here. 88 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: A program, to me is a four year snapshot of 89 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: an organization, whereas a team is just that version of 90 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: the program. And that given year, a program could have 91 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: a team go four and eight and eight and four 92 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: in back to back years. So as for the team 93 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: that finishes, let's say with the nine seed, that team 94 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: is a playoff team. That team may very well go 95 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: on to win the national championship game. The University of 96 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: Georgia would have been an at large team last year. 97 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: They would have probably not been nine, but they wouldn't 98 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: have been in the top four, so they would have 99 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: been five through twelve. Yet they would have made the 100 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: playoff and maybe been a point spread favorite against everyone 101 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: in the playoff and may have gone on to win 102 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: the whole thing. What would we have said about them, Well, 103 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: we would have said it's a dominant program because we're 104 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: judging them on a rolling three or four year average, 105 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: and the twenty twenty three version of that program ended 106 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: up being a national champion, or at the very least, 107 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: if they didn't win the whole thing, they were a 108 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: playoff team. Did they make the playoff because the bar 109 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: got lowered? Yeah, I mean I'm the first person to 110 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: say that, but that doesn't mean that you judge the 111 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: overall program any less. Or let me say this had 112 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: we not expanded the playoff. Penn State's a perfect example here. 113 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: Penn State has not made the playoff, so even going 114 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: by the four team metric, even going by the four 115 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: team criteria, Penn State being just outside of being good 116 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: enough to make that to me still a really solid program. 117 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't view them as lesser than I'll view Penn 118 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: State the exact same way as I have prior to 119 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: the expanded playoff. If they start making the playoff as 120 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: a nine seed on average every year, same program, they're 121 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: just affording themselves. Or rather, the changes in the sport 122 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: have afforded Penn State the opportunity to make the playoff, 123 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: even though they haven't necessarily upped their production level. Eden 124 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: from Covington Louisiana up next. Do you do any hurricane chasing. 125 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: I have a spare room down here in Covington. I 126 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: don't do as much as I do storm chasing in 127 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: the form of chasing tornadoes. That is my passion. I 128 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: have been in hurricanes before. Hurricane Matthew, I believe, was 129 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: the last landfalling Category five hurricane retroactively graded a Cat 130 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: five by the way it made landfall along the Florida Panhandle. 131 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: I was working local news at the time, and even 132 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: though I was covering sports, I was either anchoring sports 133 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: or I was the news anchor at the time. Either way, 134 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: I begged to go down there, and so no one 135 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: else wanted to go, aside from the meteorologist. So I 136 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: went down there, and we were in I think Americas 137 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: Georgia is as far south as we could get because 138 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: it had already made landfall, so we couldn't push any further, 139 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: and I don't think the insurance company wanted to cover 140 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: it either way. So yeah, man, we were right there. 141 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: I think it was still a Category three when it 142 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: was coming through South Georgia where we were. That was 143 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: a fun time, though. Now the difference is you can't 144 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: chase a hurricane. Hurricanes are massive, you can chase a tornado, 145 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: and tornadoes are more random and sudden and relatively unpredictable. Hurricanes, 146 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: the thrill of the chase to me is not there 147 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: as much. This is just me personally talking because it 148 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: is very, very visible on radar two three days out 149 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: and roughly you know the trajectory and the general landfall 150 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: paths that it could take. I'm not as into that 151 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: as I am waking up in the morning in rural 152 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: Oklahoma and knowing, Man, it could go down today, but 153 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: we have no clue where it could go down. Now, 154 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: we got some parameters in place, and we know that 155 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: maybe over here in Kingfish or Chickashet or Eden, we 156 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: know that it could happen. But all of a sudden, 157 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: oh wow, there's some random cellular activity in southwestern Kansas. 158 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: Whoa boy, Are we gonna stay here and chase on 159 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the dry line? Are we gonna go up there and 160 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: take our chains is a little bit further north. That's unpredictable. 161 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: That's randomness. And I actually love that hurricanes that some 162 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: people's cup of tea. I choose to chase tornadoes. Mitch 163 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: in Orlando, good question here, he said, how do you 164 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: feel about college football referees? Do you think they should 165 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 1: be fined or suspended for poor game performances? I don't 166 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: know if I go that far. I'm not against it. Look, 167 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: my bigger issue with college football officials is the lack 168 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: of public accountability, just the lack of transparency. And I've 169 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: always felt like as college football grew as a business, 170 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: not all parts of college football scaled proportionately, like the 171 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: media coverage, the television production, for example, as the audience 172 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: has increased and the attention has increased, Oh that's increased. Yeah, 173 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: you got no problem looking at an ESPN or a 174 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: CBS broadcast from nineteen ninety versus twenty twenty three and realizing, 175 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: oh wow, this is worlds different, and not just because 176 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: technology is advanced, but also because the attention to detail 177 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: and the investment has increased as there's been increased interest. Okay, 178 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: that makes sense, we all get that, But there are 179 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: other parts of the sport that have remained just as 180 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: antiquated as they always were, and officiating is one of 181 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: those things. It just boggles my mind. I don't know 182 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: if you guys realize this. Many of you do, but 183 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: not all of you do you know college football officials 184 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: are not even like employed officials. They have normal jobs. 185 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: The guys you see officiating on Saturdays, like the back 186 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: judge for the North Carolina versus NC State game, that 187 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: guy is working a nine to five somewhere Monday through Friday, 188 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: or Monday through Thursday. Maybe maybe he gets the ability 189 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: to travel on Friday during the fall. But the point is, 190 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with guys having second jobs. 191 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: Go for it, work as many jobs as you want to. 192 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is the consequences on 193 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: these games are way too big for us to be 194 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: nickel and diming our way through it from an officiating standpoint, 195 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: and college football is like a billion dollar industry with 196 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: a nickel and dime officiating apparatus. And my problem with 197 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: that is a lot of times that affects the quality 198 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: of the officiating. And I'm not hating on officials because 199 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: I know a couple who listen to the pod, and 200 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: I always before I criticize an officiating decision, I go 201 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: to them and I ask them their opinion on it. 202 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: They're going to stand up for their folks, but they 203 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: will sometimes admit, yeah, this was handled wrong or this 204 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: should have been that way, or that should have been 205 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: this way. But my bigger issue is they never have 206 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: to answer publicly for it. If there's a game altering 207 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: decision and it's a judgment call, at least give me 208 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: access to officiating, even if it's by a pool reporter 209 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: who goes in and he gets answers for the entire 210 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: media gaggle. At least give me something right now. An 211 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: official blows a call and the best you get is 212 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: word from your school Monday that the conference or the 213 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: league office reached out and apologized. Like what good is that. 214 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: That's like officiating's version of the NCAA retroactively taking down 215 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: a banner or revoking a win. Well, no one cares 216 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: because everyone saw the win happen, or no one cares 217 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: if you apologize for your bad call because everybody already 218 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: saw the outcome. And by the way, never have one 219 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: of those apologies come with a ps, we're also giving 220 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: you a win in this game that you lost because 221 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: of us, or in part because of us. So I've 222 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: always had a problem with that. I've got a big 223 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: problem with that. And then whenever I bring it up, 224 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: someone from the league office will say, well, we don't 225 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: want to expose guys who aren't even full time employees 226 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: to that kind of scrutiny. Well, then make them full 227 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: time employees, is my response. You're making how much money 228 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: a year on this and officiating is how big of 229 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: a factor in games? And you're telling me that no 230 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: one around here has ever thought to just have professional 231 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: officials as part of the major college football apparatus. I 232 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: know every conference may not be able to afford that 233 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: every major conference can, Like, that's insane to me that 234 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: we're not there yet. It's utterly insane to me. But 235 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: yet that is something because of the lack of centralized 236 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: leadership in college athletics that you have to deal with. 237 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: Our buddy Chris, who we have learned hales from Moultrie Georgia. 238 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: As next, he said, I had a fight with your 239 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: buddy Jake Row, and I need your opinion. So Jake 240 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: works for the Georgia on three site. Very very good 241 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: friend of the program though, and he said, if SMU 242 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: hired the right coach, is that the place that could 243 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: win a national championship with the advantages it has. Now 244 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: anyone who listens to or watches this show knows that 245 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: My answers on this are always very boring because I 246 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: go with percentages, so I almost never say never, even 247 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: if there is a what we would call a non 248 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: zero chance in meteorological terms, I never say never. If 249 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: there's a one percent chance, I will not say never, 250 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: even though it's highly highly unlikely. So I think it's 251 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: highly highly unlikely, maybe not one percent unlikely, but it's 252 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: highly unlikely we see SMU compete for a national championship. However, 253 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say zero, because there is a world 254 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: especially given the kind of money that they're putting up 255 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: down there, and they are in the ACC now in 256 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: case you've forgotten, Yeah, if you've been tuned out, SMU 257 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: is now a powerful program starting this year. If they 258 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: could put up the kind of money that can keep 259 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: a coach home and they go and they recruit over 260 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: a three or four year period to the degree you 261 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: need to to build a roster from the inside out, 262 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: I mean line of scrimmage talent too deep, the likes 263 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: of which a Georgia or a Texas or Abama or 264 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: an Ohio state is going to have, then yes, they 265 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: could win it there. They're not going to be disadvantaged. 266 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: In fact, I think if SMU ever got themselves into 267 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: the conversation, there would be a lot of romanticism about 268 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: the way they're covered, and there'd be a lot of 269 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: romanticism about the way they're treated. Like sometimes we've seen 270 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: the quote unquote Cinderella or the Underdog. Normally it's a 271 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: G five program and they've burst onto the scene state example, 272 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina example. But there's a hesitance to latch onto 273 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: them from a national media perspective because there's not a 274 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: whole lot of money to be made off of those programs. 275 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: If SMU showed the threat of being good for a 276 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: sustained period of time, there would be money to be 277 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: made off of the proposition of the school in Dallas 278 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: that once upon a time dominated for a little while 279 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: and then got basically expunged from the planet of college football, 280 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: and now they're back. What a story that would be. 281 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: And i'd say that to say, I think they get 282 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. I think they've get the kind 283 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: of attention and the kind of year over year coverage 284 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: that you need to sell yourself if you're SMU as 285 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: we're here to stay. So I don't think that's likely. 286 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it's impossible. I know that's boring answer. 287 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: There is a non zero chance that it could happen. 288 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: Is the best I can do for you. Tommy from Dexter, Michigan. 289 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: What are some stadiums you want to visit for game 290 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: day but you haven't been able to see yet? Yeah, 291 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: there are two that lead by a mile here. Well, 292 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: one is Oklahoma. Never been to a game in Norman. 293 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: I've been to Norman several times, but it's all been 294 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: for storm chasing. I've legitimately never been there, even on 295 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: game day, just on campus, much less than in the stadium. 296 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: I want to go there, and I want to go 297 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: to Blacksburg to Virginia Tech for a big game, and 298 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: I got one circle this year. Clemson comes to town 299 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: a little bit later in the year, and depending on 300 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: how that one shakes out, I would love to be there. 301 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: I'd love to be there when Tennessee goes to Oklahoma 302 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: in week four, I would love to be there. I've 303 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: just you know, we go to the biggest game in 304 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: the country every week and I have not been able 305 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: to get to either of Virginia Tech has not been 306 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: relevant on the national scene in a while. That self explanatory. 307 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: With Oklahoma, I've been to Oklahoma games, but it's been 308 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: ou Texas, which happily is a neutral site game. It's 309 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: one of the only games that I love, being a 310 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: neutral game. But I have not been able to go 311 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: to Norman, so looking to knock those out. I went 312 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: to Utah last year. That was a great trip, even 313 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: though it was ninety six at kickoff. That's not a 314 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: lie dry heat, but it was ninety six at kickoff. 315 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: I got to go to Washington last year, so we 316 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: knock those two off the bucket list. I also have 317 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: never been to a game at USC, and from a 318 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: game day atmosphere perspective, while USC may not match these 319 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: other places, from a reputation standpoint, if I'm at a 320 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: USC game, it means us he's really really good. And 321 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: so if I'm at a USC game, that means the 322 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: coliseum is not half empty like you're used to seeing it. Also, 323 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: Arizona State just kind of out of left field. When 324 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: I was much, much much younger, a very young JP, 325 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: Arizona State was a big time national program here and there, 326 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: and I would look at Tempi, I would look at 327 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Sun Deevil Stadium, and there would be times where that 328 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: place would be packed. And they played the Fiesta Bowl 329 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: there before they moved it to Glendale, So I would 330 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: see that venue and I would say, Wow, that's a 331 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: place I want to go, and I've never been able 332 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: to go there. I've never been able to go to 333 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: Arizona either, So I've still got some places to get to, 334 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: but by far right now, atop the bucket list of 335 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: stadium environments that I need to experience is Oklahoma and 336 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech.

Does Florida get into 337 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: the playoff if they're eight and four but they beat 338 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: Miami and FSU and one of those teams wins the 339 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: acc My answer off the cuff is no, I do 340 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: not think they would get in, because I don't think 341 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: a four lost team is going to get into this 342 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: thing this year or ever. But notice my answer there, Richie, 343 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: I didn't say I don't think they should get in. 344 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: I don't know if I think they should get in. 345 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: This is an impossible question to answer, a bunch of 346 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: different ways to go here. So if it's just a muddled, 347 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: jumbled mess at the finish line, and you got a 348 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: bunch of two and three loss teams that you're choosing from, 349 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: and then Florida happens to be a four loss team 350 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: that played an infinitely tougher schedule as we judge it 351 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: at the end of the year, and we can reasonably 352 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: say we think they're one of the ten or eleven 353 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 1: or twelve best. There's a world, I guess where that 354 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: could happen. There's a world also where they get left 355 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: out because a committee member just thinks to themselves, you 356 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: can't be losing one out of every three games you 357 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: play and be warranted for a playoff spot. I could 358 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: see that, I could see myself agreeing with it. I 359 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: don't know, is my point, because I would have to 360 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: know what the rest of the field look like. But 361 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: if they do lose four games, forget about the playoff 362 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: for just a second. If they go eight and four 363 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: and these are close losses and one of the close 364 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: losses is to the ACC champ, I think I'd be asking, 365 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: how good do you feel about billion Apier? How does 366 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: that look for billion Apier moving forward? Howd the quarterback 367 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: situation play out? Was it? Graham Mertz? All year? Did 368 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: DJ Lagway get any action? Like? How did that work out, 369 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: so highly doubt we're going to see a four loss team, 370 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: even if it's Florida. But that doesn't mean that they 371 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: may not have one of the twelve best resumes. All 372 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: things considered, let's circle back and talk about this in December. 373 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: Nick from Bordentown, New Jersey, is next. If you did 374 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: not have the job you have and you were a 375 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: typical college football viewer, what would your normal Saturday routine 376 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: look like? Well, Nick, this was a large part of 377 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: my life, so I can tell you exactly what my 378 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: Saturday routine was. I would always wake up. I would 379 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: check what the overnight line movement was, and normally I 380 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: already had all my bets in, but I'd be looking 381 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: for any potential middle action or was there steam overnight 382 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: one way and I want to explain why it moved 383 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: the way it did, So that's just from a gambling perspective. 384 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: I would then turn on college game Day. I'd be 385 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: scanning message boards for like first reports from on site 386 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: for the noon kickoffs Eastern time. I would be looking 387 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: for injury updates and stuff like that. So I'd be 388 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: watching game Dad have that on in the background. Then 389 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: at about ten thirty am eastern time. I would go 390 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: to Max Fitness in Columbus, Georgia, right there off Veterans 391 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Parkway on Tower Road, and I would always save like 392 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: the shortest workout, so like an arm or a back 393 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: or something like that, and I would have a workout 394 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: that I could pump out in an hour or less, 395 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: and I would do that, and I would try and 396 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: get over to Publics free advertisement here, guys, I'm awaiting 397 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: your call whenever you want to hit me up. I 398 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: would go over to Publics. I would grab a pub sub. 399 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: This would be about eleven forty five, and then I 400 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: would time it up where I am literally walking in 401 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: my door at home at noon, and what I had done, 402 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: by the way at Publics is I had bought my 403 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: lunchtime pub sub, and then I had bought my early 404 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: evening pub sub. And you put a little extra oil 405 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: and vinegar on the evening pub sub so that it 406 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: has all day to soak into the bread. And it's 407 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: just it's so sloppy, it's a mess. It's great immunity 408 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: to all that, yes, of course, and then I would 409 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: devour both of those. You'd go through the noon kickoffs, 410 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: you go through the three thirty window, and then I 411 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: would get right to the end of the three thirty window, 412 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: and then you have to make a call like are 413 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: you going to pick up something really quick? Are you 414 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: doing delivery? Are you cooking for yourself? And so i'd 415 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: call an audible. I would leave the back end of 416 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: my Saturday sort of written in pencil. And it could 417 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: be that I'm so mad that I lost money that 418 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: day that I don't even care. I'll just listen to 419 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: these games on the radio. Or it may maybe that 420 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm locked in and I'm not moving anywhere, and mom melve, 421 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: I've seen every kind of Saturday. I've lived every kind 422 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: of Saturday. My Saturdays are of course much different now, 423 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: but I do keep in mind that you guys are 424 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: out there living your best lives on Saturdays. This is 425 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: one of the reasons I don't do a Saturday night show, 426 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: a Saturday night wrap up show. Number one, because it's 427 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: very hectic for me being on the road. But number two, 428 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm a believer that Saturday should be completely coned off. 429 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: It should be like taped off, just for the games 430 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: to happen, and then we'll talk about it on Sunday. 431 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: We'll talk about it on Monday, but let the games 432 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: happen on Saturday. So many, many, many of you ask me, 433 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: will you do a reaction show? And I don't think 434 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: I've ever answered it, but I'm answering it now. As 435 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: of now, the plans are no, not doing a reaction 436 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: show because I want to take it in. And also, 437 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: I'm not the kind of person. This is just me speaking. 438 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm not the kind of person who has processed every 439 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: bit of thought and feeling I have about what happened 440 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: on a Saturday right after it happens. I got to 441 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: sit there the next morning. I mean, you've done that 442 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: zombie drive to church the next morning, or you've done 443 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: that sit at lunch and stare off into space on 444 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon just thinking about what happened yesterday. Your brain's 445 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: still working to process it. This is not the NFL, 446 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: where there are a handful of games you watch. This 447 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: is college football. You got like twenty to thirty games 448 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: that probably matter to varying degrees, and all of them 449 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: impacted each other, and you got the rankings and whatnot, 450 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: and so it takes a little while. So that's why 451 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: we do our Sunday night show and that's where you 452 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: get my feelings and thoughts on what happened the previous day. 453 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: And I think, personally, what's fun about that is you also, 454 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: if you have a show you like and it doesn't 455 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: air until twenty four hours after the dust is settled, 456 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: you kind of get to build up in your own 457 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 1: mind during the day what you think, and then you 458 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: get to compare it to what I think the following night. 459 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: You have to use the theater of the mind a 460 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: little bit. You know that it's coming, you know the 461 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: show's coming, but you don't know what's coming. Sort of 462 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: like this. I think it's possible that some of our 463 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: longtime listeners saw that ad toss coming. I can't say 464 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: for sure. Most of you, though, you were still caught 465 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: completely off guard. It was still Blindside City. Next up, 466 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: Caden in Prattville, Alabama. What's the maximum amount of SEC 467 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: teams that can make the playoff? Well, the limit does 468 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: not exist, Caden. It's Lindsay lohand it's Mean Girls. The 469 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: limit does not exist. However, I think I think if 470 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: they get six in there could be riots. I think 471 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: if they even get five in, you may have to 472 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: have some mobilization of national guard units at various points 473 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: across the country. But if they were to get six in, 474 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: which is legal, if they were to get six in, 475 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: that would be a disaster for every other conference in America. 476 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: Dom in San Antonio, Texas has gas station recruiting. Wars 477 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: become one of the best things to ever happened to 478 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: you also update on who is winning Tom. I think 479 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: it's one of the best thing that's ever happened to us. 480 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: Understand what happened here. We created this show from scratch. Okay, 481 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: you and I basically created this show from scratch. I 482 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: came here to CBS in twenty four to seven, right 483 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: before COVID, and I just begged them, let me do 484 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: a show the way we want to do it. I 485 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: promise it'll work. And to their credit, they said, go ahead, 486 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: do your thing, and we built the show. And now 487 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: it's the most consumed college football show in all of 488 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: digital media. That's because of you, guys, and to their credit, 489 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: management did leave us alone and they let us do 490 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: our thing. Well, we've built something so big that now 491 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: we can call our own shot. We don't have to 492 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: wait for an advertising agency to come to us and say, hey, 493 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: you guys want to do a deal. We could just 494 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: create our own fill in the blank bidding war, and 495 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: we created a gas station recruiting war. And now we 496 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: have four finalists. They want to partner with us. That's 497 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: exactly what's happening here.

They all have hats on the table. I 500 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: will make it this decision in the very near future. 501 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: Full disclosure. I'm recording this at about ten o'clock in 502 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: the morning. I have a meeting with one of the 503 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: finalists at one o'clock this afternoon, and it is a very, 504 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: very intensive meeting. There will be some legal types on, 505 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: there will be some marketing types on, there will be 506 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: some sales types on. I'll be on and it's a 507 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: fun time. But here's the thing. It's a big win 508 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: for all of us because I'm gonna get you people 509 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: free gas. That's one of the things I have said 510 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: to every one of these companies is not only do 511 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: we want to be in business with you, I want 512 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: free gas for the audience. Gas is expensive right now. 513 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: I want them to have as much of it for 514 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: free as possible, So it's going to be a win 515 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: for all of us. I don't go into these negotiations 516 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: looking to put a new logo on the desk or 517 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: line in my pockets. I'm looking to get us as 518 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: much as we can, and so I'm getting us as 519 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: much as we can. I promise you that I am 520 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 1: getting us every bit, every dime, every drop of gas 521 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: that we can get. I will have an update for 522 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: you when I can get it to you. Okay, we 523 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: are in the final vetting process right now. It's been 524 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: great to work with all these companies. There can only 525 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: be one winner. And just like you can only commit 526 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: to one school if you're a five star linebacker, I 527 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: can only commit to one C store. Convenience store, by 528 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: the way I have learned, is the proper term for 529 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: gas station. But when you can know, I will let 530 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: you know. That's as much as I can give you 531 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: right now. And with the gas station recruiting war happening, 532 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: there's also another pretty pretty big piece of negotiation happening. 533 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: Not my contract or anything like that. There is a 534 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: big piece of negotiation also happening in relation to our 535 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: show and our entire brand and us as a college 536 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: football people. And that one. I hadn't been able to 537 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: say a word about either, but soon I will so again, 538 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: just stay tuned.

So he wanted to know thoughts on 564 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: the Texas A and M baseball coach leaving for Texas. 565 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: This is a college football show, people, This is a 566 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: one hundred percent college football show, which makes it all 567 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: the more crazy that I'm going to answer this question. 568 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: But it impacted me so much yesterday that I got 569 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: to say something about it, because I do think it 570 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: has a little something to do with college athletics overall. 571 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: So the Texas and IN baseball coach, they play for 572 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: a literal national championship, and then he's the Texas head coach. 573 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: Twenty four hours later, and he berated a reporter in 574 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,719 Speaker 1: the process, like twelve hours beforehand for even daring to 575 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: ask him about the rumors, which is pathetic, And so 576 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate it not from a Texas 577 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: Texas A and m standpoint. I just hate it in principle. 578 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: It's actually got nothing to do with Texas. I got 579 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: all the love in the world for Texas, but I 580 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: hate when coaches go from rival to rival. I hate 581 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: when players transfer from rival to rival. I can't stand 582 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: any of this. I only just recently became okay with 583 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: you dating someone who pulls for the rival of your team, 584 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: and that's because, frankly, the birthing rate in this country 585 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: is falling off a little bit, and we got to 586 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: work on the population issue. So I'm willing to bite 587 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: the bullet on that. But by and large, we got 588 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: to respect and maintain the integrity of rivalries. We got 589 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: to do it. So I said that yesterday publicly, and 590 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: I had a bunch of people come at me with 591 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: all sorts of different ridiculousness. One of the things a 592 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: lot of folks said is I think anyone should have 593 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: the freedom to take any job they want. This is me, 594 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: not disagreeing with you. I didn't say you shouldn't have 595 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: the freedom to do it. I said you should exercise 596 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: the choice not to just have a little respect for 597 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: the integrity of what rivalries mean in college athletics, Like, 598 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things it is legal for 599 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: me to do that I don't do in my day 600 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: to day life because I'm a decent person and I 601 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: got common sense. So that's part one. Part two, which 602 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: I expected, was I had all my Texas folks again, 603 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: love you guys, but I had a bunch of my 604 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: Texas folks say you say that you need to respect 605 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: all rivalries and people should never move from one rival 606 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: to the other. I would argue, this intensifies the rivalry, 607 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: and like, guys, just please be real with me for 608 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: a second. You can treat everyone else like a fool. 609 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: You need to be real with me because we're better 610 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: than that. You and I. I want you to imagine 611 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: Mike Elker retires today and Texas A and m poaches 612 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: sark am I really supposed to believe. The first thing 613 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: you guys would say is, well, that stings a little bit, 614 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: but if it's for the betterment of the rivalry, I'm 615 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: all for it, Like, would you ever in your right 616 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: mind think about the betterment of the rivalry if it 617 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: was you on the losing end, of course you would. 618 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: And secondly, the thing about rivalries, the real ones, the 619 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: intense ones A and M in Texas or Michigan, Ohio State, 620 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: or all in Alabama, is the hatred is already baked in. 621 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: You don't need to enhance it anymore. It doesn't need 622 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: any further stoking of the flames. It's already an inferno, 623 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: just like this was. So will it intensify it? Yeah, 624 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: But if you make it five hundred degrees and then 625 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: you heat it up to five hundred and fifty degrees, 626 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: it's just all hot. You can't really even tell the difference. 627 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: It's all hot. But in the meantime, I watched from 628 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: the outside, and I watched someone try and sell me 629 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: on how intense Texas and Texas A and M is 630 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: and how how thick the hatred and animosity is. And 631 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: that's all great, that's a wonderful thing. But then when 632 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: I see one guy say, oh, I'm just gonna hop 633 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: over the fence, Well, what does it say about that fence? 634 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: I would counter with, what does it say about the person, 635 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: But really, what does it say about the fence that 636 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: should be a wall? It shouldn't even a fence, it 637 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: should be a wall. There should be no go zones, 638 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: just non negotiables. And one of those, to me is 639 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: forget about what is allowed, forget about what is legal. 640 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: And you are technically free to do. There are just 641 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: some things you shouldn't do, and I think that's one 642 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: of them. And you know what, even further, it aggravated 643 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: a lot of you, not that the guy left because 644 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: you could say business is business. Now you and I 645 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: may differ on that philosophically, but that's okay. There are people, 646 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,719 Speaker 1: I imagine many many a Texas fan today can look 647 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: at it and say, well, that's just business. I had 648 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: someone tell me, are you saying if one of these 649 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: other big companies, if Fox came to you, if ESPN 650 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: came to you and they offered you a much bigger 651 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: deal than you have at CBS, that you wouldn't go. Well, 652 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: the first thing I would ask is are you sure 653 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: that hasn't happened. That's the first thing I would ask. 654 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: The second thing I would ask is are those really 655 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: apples to apples? Comparisons? No one who, no individuals, guys 656 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: who work for these companies view the others as rivals. 657 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: That's something that people in executive suites think like. That's 658 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: not something that boots on the ground folks think like. 659 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: But see, even if you were making that point, Okay, 660 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: let me play devil's advocate against myself. Let's say you're right. 661 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: Let's say that Fox versus CBS is exactly like Texas 662 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: versus Texas A and M.
