1
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Has anyone ever filed a missing person's report for like

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: an entire football team, like a picture of milk carton

3
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: big enough to put the entire team photo of Alabama

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: football on, And I just want to ask, where are day?

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: What happened to this team? I watched someone play South

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: Florida yesterday. I don't know if it was Nick Sabans Alabama. Yeah,

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: late kick is life. It is Sunday night, September seventeenth

8
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: year of Our Lord, twenty twenty three, jam packed hyatape

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: competitively balanced downtown Nashville, Tennessee. I'll talk about whatever in

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: the world happened in Tampa yesterday. I'll talk about what

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: happened in Boulder, Colorado yesterday. Every celebrity was there. So

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: you could probably watch any of a number of shows

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: and listen to what happened with Colorado Colorado State. If

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: I know you like I think I do, you stayed

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: up late to watch that, didn't you? I got Florida

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee reaction. I mean, I got LSU to talk about it.

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: I got Georgia to talk about I got Washington. Does

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: the j people have a Washington problem? That combination of

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: words I never expected to come out of my mouth.

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: But yeah, all that plus your boy here was part

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: of yet another field storming yesterday, our seventh field storming

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: in three years, a record that I'm very proud of.

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: So we've got a jam pack show. Sunday night is

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: reaction night here, and I think there are probably a

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: disproportionate amount of uncomfortable truths that we'll have to discuss

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: just you and I amongst ourselves tonight, and it's gonna

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: be viewed by some who don't know the show any better.

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: Is a hot take. It's not that this stuff's at

29
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: least well marinated on, if not well thought out. So

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: I just want you to brace yourselves. If you are

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: in a car and you're listening to the podcast, buckle

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: up should have been already. But if you're not, buckle up.

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm waving my papers wildly at the camera right now,

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: and that should let you know how fired up I am.

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, Valdosta, Georgia, Bozeman, Montana, Temple, Texas.

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: A little over twenty four hours ago, I was gonna

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: Sea of Humanity in Columbia, Missouri. I'm gonna talk about that.

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: I've got video from the field storming. We have got

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: so much to get into. I saw a sixty one

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: yard field goal yesterday? How about that? Who instead of

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: thunk it right? If you missed any of that, you

42
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: got to make sure you're following on Instagram at late

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: kick Josh. It's a real, real fun Saturday over there.

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: And got some good stuff during the week too. But

45
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: that's not where I'm gonna start. I try and pop

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: my knuckles sometimes, but it never works like I wanted

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: to in the microphone. But man, so Alabama won a

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: football game yesterday, seventeen to three. Congratulations to the Tide.

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: I know most of you if you didn't start watching

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: that game, you eventually found yourself watching that game on

51
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: what the casuals told you would be a dud Saturday.

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: We got Bam up against the wall, we got Texas

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: tied with Wyoming in the fourth quarter, we got a

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: couple of field stormings nationally. Never let the casuals fool

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: you into thinking it's going to be a dull Saturday.

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Never happens that way, does It never turns out that way?

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: So it didn't hear Alabama's inexplicably playing out of conference

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: game in Tampa, Florida. Last time they were in that building,

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: I was there, but it was a little higher stakes matchup.

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: It was against Clemson for a national championship, and so

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: we watched what we saw yesterday. Now, what did you

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: take away from this game? Very curious what the nation thought?

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: I know you thought Bama looked terrible. Everyone thought that.

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: I want to know, though, like if you peel back

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: the lair, so look beneath the surface, what did you

66
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: think about this? Because the more I got into watching it,

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: the more I found myself thinking, that's the most disturbing

68
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: game I've ever seen Alabama play under Nick Saban. You

69
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: may think to yourself, Josh, in two thousand and seven,

70
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: weren't they pretty bad? Well, yeah, they went seven and six.

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: They had a bunch of one possession of losses, as

72
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: I recall, but that wasn't disturbing. No one expected them

73
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: to compete under Nick Saban in year one. In fact,

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: it was all about flushing out the program. It was

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: all about getting rid of the g who didn't need

76
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: to be there. It was about getting Nick Saban's guys in.

77
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: Everyone was looking forward to the Julio Jones, Marcel Darius, Mark,

78
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: barn recruiting class that was in coming, so no one

79
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: was deterred even when they lost to Louisiana Monroe. I

80
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: thought the following Monday, Saban had like his best press

81
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: conference he's ever had. There there was eternal optimism, even

82
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: in that year one when things were bad. That stuff yesterday,

83
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: for lack of a much more appropriate term, because it is,

84
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: after all, the Family Show, was so totally disturbing, not

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 1: because it was a close game against a vastly inferior opponent,

86
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: but because of how effortless the game was, how lifeless

87
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: the team looked. And I, you know, I thought I

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: saw what I saw, But then a bunch of coaches

89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: started texting me afterwards and kind of independently confirmed what

90
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: my feel was. I don't feel like a critical mass

91
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: of Alabama's team gave max effort yesterday. I thought dudes

92
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: flat out mailed in the game. I'm not talking about collectively.

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: There were individual performances and there were individual guys that

94
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: were willing to go over the cliff, But it takes

95
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: a lot more than just individuals. You got really really

96
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: high level, All American caliber individuals that'll play on seven

97
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: to five teams. This year. So it takes way more

98
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: than that. I could find you like two dozen teams

99
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: yesterday that played at a higher level and played with

100
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: more effort than Alabama. Now, the problem for most of

101
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: them is they're not as talented as Alabama. And the

102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: problem for Alabama is they're talented enough to get by

103
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: doing that. But I told you during the spring with

104
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: this quarterback battle, and I reiterated it again in the

105
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: fall with the quarterback battle the same way I do

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: with all quarterback battles, And that's the locker room's going

107
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: to tell you who QB one is on your team.

108
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: The locker room ended up gravitating towards Jalen Milroe on

109
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: this team. That doesn't mean the locker room views him

110
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: as being without fault. I don't know that everyone in

111
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: that locker room is in love with Jalen Milroe, but

112
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: they probably view him as the guy that gives them

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the best chance to win. The staff started him in

114
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: Week one. Things were great, things were good enough. The

115
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: staff started him against Texas. He was deer in headlights.

116
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: I thought that was also combined with a very very

117
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: poor game plan that was put together that did not

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: feature his strengths. He got benched and Tyler Butner Notre

119
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Dame transfer started this game. Some of the worst quarterback

120
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: play you'll ever see in a Crimson or White uniform.

121
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: And then ty Simpson comes in, and while there were

122
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: flashes and probably not a fair position for him to

123
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: be in, I think it made it abundantly clear Jalen

124
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: Milroe actually does give this team the best chance to win.

125
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: But here was the other thing you saw. You saw

126
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: what the team thought about it. It's not the first

127
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: time you've ever seen it. It's just the first time

128
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: you've ever seen it with Bama. When a guy gets

129
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: put under center, when a guy gets put at the

130
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: quarterback position that a critical mass of that locker room

131
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: does not agree with, they'll let you know with their

132
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: effort and with their level of play, and the level

133
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: of play you saw from Bama yesterday is so far

134
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: below what they would call the Bama standard. I didn't

135
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: even know what to make of it. Like, look, we

136
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: got a computer model where we try to ingest the

137
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: numbers and the critical data from games and we try

138
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: and formulate a forward thinking, advanced looking number on future games.

139
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to interpret what we saw yesterday.

140
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: Because the thing about it is, when you have a

141
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: team that lacks intensity and they lack effort, no amount

142
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: of talent matters. There is no bottom, like, there's no

143
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: floor to limit how far you can fall in, how

144
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: decrepitly bad you can look. Never use the word decrepit

145
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: on the show before, but here it is. That's where

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: we are with Alabama football in Week three. They I mean, look,

147
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: these aren't padlock stats cause they won the game, but

148
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: they gave up five sacks again. Uh yeah, if you

149
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: want me to take this moment in time to admit

150
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: I may may have been a little bit wrong, just

151
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: a little bit misguided, regarding Alabama's offensive line. If you'd

152
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: like me to do that tonight, listen up, quiet the room.

153
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: I may have been wrong about at Alabama's offensive line.

154
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: If you know anything about me, you know how difficult

155
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: this is to admit. In September they gave up five sacks.

156
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: That makes back to back games never happened before under

157
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. I don't think eight tackles for loss yesterday.

158
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: It should be stressed. This once against South Florida, one

159
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: hundred and seven pass yards anemic. This is not the

160
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: metric system. By the way, this is just actual stats

161
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: from the stat sheet. Five straight punts to start the game,

162
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: and then there was a lightning delay, as is customary

163
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: in the state of Florida. So I probably got a

164
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: hundred texts if I got one that said after the game,

165
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: oh boy, Miss is about to go in there and

166
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: beat them. Well, here's what's about to happen. Jalen Milroe

167
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: will inevitably start. I am fully convinced he was suspended yesterday.

168
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: By the way, That's why I don't think he played.

169
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: That won't be announced, that will never be confirmed. I

170
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: think he was suspended, and I'm not alone in that anyway.

171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Milroe will probably starting against ale Miss. Their defense

172
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: is quietly a great story. It better be, because they

173
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: can't score right now to save their lives. I think

174
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: Milroe will start Saturday. I think in turn, you'll see

175
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: an inspired effort from their team, and maybe it's a

176
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: trigger point for them. I don't know. But my bigger

177
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: question is not will we see much better effort from

178
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: them Saturday? I'm sure we will. My question is what

179
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: does that look like like? What is the ceiling for Alabama?

180
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: What's the max potential? For Alabama in twenty twenty three

181
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: certainly probably well below that which people like me expected.

182
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: But then again, you look around the rest of the country,

183
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: where are the elite teams? Hey, by the way, there

184
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: may be elite teams out there, maybe it's just not

185
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: the ones that anyone had in their preseason top five,

186
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: and that includes me. I didn't have Washington in my

187
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: preseason top five. I didn't have Oklahoma or Notre Dame

188
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: up there. And I'm not saying they're elite. I'm just

189
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: saying maybe those end up being the candidates or maybe

190
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: those end up being the candidates for the best teams

191
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: in a season that's just filled with a bunch of

192
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: very good teams and no elite teams. Be that as

193
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: it may. My point there is, believe it or not,

194
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: all hope is still not lost for this team. All

195
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: hope is still not lost. I get tired of saying

196
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: this because it sounds so redundant, But we see every

197
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: year there are teams that are left for dead at

198
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: talented teams in September, and then all of a sudden,

199
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: whichever combination the dominoes need to be put in to click,

200
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: that it happens and there are certain events that happen,

201
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes those events are really ugly. I think one

202
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: may have happened for Georgia yesterday. By the way, sometimes

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: those events in the moment are very uncomfortable, they're very ugly,

204
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, that's the snap moment, that's the

205
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: trigger moment, and then you find yourself in November looking

206
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: back saying, wow, can you believe this? This is the

207
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: same team that looked like that in Week one or

208
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: Week two. Happens every year. It could easily happen with Alabama.

209
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: The reason, and it's so hard to see, is because

210
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: no one has the magic eight ball. Willfong has one

211
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: for recruiting, but even Wilfong, even Uncle Steve, doesn't have

212
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: one for actual on field matters. So I don't know

213
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: if what happened yesterday is an impetus for anything. I

214
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: don't know if Jaylen Milroe being inserted and I assume

215
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: he will be back into the lineup on Saturday, is

216
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: an impetus for anything. I've got a sneaking suspicion it is.

217
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: Alabama opened as about a six to seven point favorite

218
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: over Ole miss I imagine odds makers will drown in

219
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: Ole miss money. And on a related note, shame on

220
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin for the back door cover against Georgia Tech

221
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: last night. Didn't need to do that. Derailed Rama Noodle

222
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Express and we'll deal with that later. It's okay, I'm

223
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: not mad. I'm more disappointed than mad. But yeah, conference

224
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: play is here. There's no more time to experiment. This

225
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: is it and I have no worthy idea how it's

226
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna turn out. So there you go. Next up, what

227
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: time does this game start? Jesse? Like nine or ten

228
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Eastern life? Last night? So Colorado beat Colorado State. I

229
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: think that's what most people expected themselves to be saying

230
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: by it. Friends, where were you? Where were you when

231
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: Colorado completed the fifth largest fourth quarter comeback in program history.

232
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: I was in the Saint Louis Airport Marriott, for example.

233
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: But where were you? And what's so crazy is pretty

234
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: much everyone will be able to tell me a month

235
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: or a year from now where they were when they

236
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: watched this, because literally everyone watched it. At least you

237
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: watched the first part of the game. Now. I know

238
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: some of you have bedtimes, and some of you shirked

239
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: those bedtimes last night, but man, what a what a revolution?

240
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: We've seen in college football viewership, coverage, conversation, et cetera.

241
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: No one thought they'd be talking about this stuff. Uh,

242
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: Colorado yesterday had a fight taken to them that they

243
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: probably weren't ready for. I think most people didn't expect it.

244
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: But they scored on one of their first ten drives,

245
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: and then you want the paper pocket, you want to

246
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: pay stat Then they scored in five of their final

247
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: six drives. Shador Sanders is a star in college football

248
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: right now. Shador Sanders is putting up numbers that would

249
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: make him a star if he were shudor Thomas or

250
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: should or Simpson or Shador Myers. It's not a Sanders thing.

251
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: It's a playmaker thing. The secret's out on them. No

252
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: people know they can't run the ball. It's all on him.

253
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: And all he's done so far is he's gone up

254
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: and put up four hundred a game. He's got ten touchdowns,

255
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: one interception. He's a seventy nine percent completion guy. He

256
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: ninety eight yard touchdown drive when they needed it the

257
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: most last night, And in the midst of all of it,

258
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm having a conversation FaceTime, no less with a dear

259
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: friend of the program. We'll leave it at that. And

260
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: this person tells me this is not college football. The

261
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: way Dion carries himself, the showmanship, the selfishness, this person's words,

262
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: not mine. That is not college football. And so I

263
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: replied to said person, calmly, respectfully, as you would expect

264
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: from me, I said, what is college football? Very interesting?

265
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: A lot of people have this tape. A lot of

266
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: people have this take that Dion what he's doing, that's

267
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: not college football. You know what scratched that a lot

268
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: of people don't have the take. Some people have the

269
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: take that, Oh Dion, his attitude, his approach to the sport,

270
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: the showmanship, that's not college football. So I ask those

271
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: kinds of folks, well, what is college football? Define it?

272
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: For me? I thought I had a pretty good idea,

273
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: but apparently I don't know. I only cover the sport

274
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: year round. So what is college football? And so I

275
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: asked someone yesterday and they say, well, college football's coaching,

276
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: it's grinding, it's hard work, it's x'es and o's. College

277
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: football is the players. College football is tradition. College football

278
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: is not this. And so you know what I did yesterday?

279
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: I just happened to flip on Col's game for a second.

280
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: I turned on col and it's five minutes until kickoff,

281
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: and someone posted on Twitter, you know they do that

282
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: panorama of the stadium and it's like one eighth of

283
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: the way full. And the thing about it is Col's

284
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: got some good coaches. Cow's got x'es and o's, Cow's

285
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: got tradition. They got Aaron Rodgers formally played their Tony

286
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: Gonzales played there, Marshawn Lynch, They've got guys who have

287
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: come through there. Why is that place an afterthought? They

288
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: got all the things that you claim make up college football.

289
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: Why is it an afterthought? The reason is because this

290
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: is not the college football business. I've said this before.

291
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: I have had this conversation with coaches. Some of them

292
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: have agreed with me, others have disagreed with me. When

293
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: I've asked them, what business do you think you're in?

294
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: And they'll say, I'm in the coaching business. Some of

295
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: them will and I'll say, no, you are a coach,

296
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: but what business are you in? What industry are you in?

297
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: You're in the entertainment industry. There are some people who

298
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: gravitate towards that, and they embrace it. But there are others,

299
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: both coaches and fans, who scoff at that notion, and

300
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, why why do you resist it? It's very obvious.

301
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: Coaches do not make eight million dollars a year because

302
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: of their exes and o's acumen, because no one fills

303
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: a stadium because of x's and o's. They fell it

304
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: because they're entertained by what it produces. There's a lot

305
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: of strategy in lacrosse. They don't feel stadiums like they

306
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: do in football. To watch that equestrian is a finely

307
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: tuned competition that is really fascinating to watch, but not

308
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: watched by one hundred thousand people, and the reason is

309
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: because it's not as entertaining as football is. Deon Sanders

310
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: just gets that more than most people because he himself

311
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: is a showman. But the thing about it is, and

312
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: I think the closer you got to that program, the

313
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: more you'd find this out. There's like this barrier. It's

314
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: more like a mesh fence because one side can see

315
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: the other. There's this mesh fence and on one side

316
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: is Dion Sanders behind the scenes running University of Colorado

317
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: football program, and then there's the other one, and that

318
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: guy is coach Prime, and that's the guy you see

319
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: when the red light comes on because he understands this

320
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: is about x's and o's. It is about recruiting, it

321
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: is about relationships, it's about developing, it's about execution. But

322
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: you know what else it's about. It's about promotion. It's

323
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: about marketing. It's about presentation, it is about showmanship. It

324
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: is about that, especially at Colorado. Now, if Deon Sanders

325
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: was the head coach at Ohio State, some of that

326
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: would take care of itself, because that Ohio State brand

327
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: markets itself. You don't have to do it. But at Colorado,

328
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: the situation he took over, you do have to do it.

329
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine the infrastructure and logistics that have

330
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: to be in place right now to handle the load

331
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: that they had to handle yesterday and to handle the

332
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: influx of everything from credential requests to interview request. You

333
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: cannot begin to imagine what kind of heat seeking position

334
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: that is at the University of Colorado right now. I'm

335
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: not familiar with those folks, and yet I still tip

336
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: my cap to him, because I don't care how ready

337
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: they thought they were. They were not ready. For this.

338
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: This is not a wave. It's a tsunami. It's a

339
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: great one, but it's a tsunami in Boulder, Colorado. Know less.

340
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: How about that. You never thought you'd be in tsunami

341
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: warning conditions there, but even there it can find you.

342
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: Deon gets it. This is the entertainment business. There's football

343
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: at the core of it, but it's the entertainment business.

344
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: There's also bad news. And the bad news is there

345
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: is a tax that comes along with Dion Sanders being

346
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: in your sport. It's called the Dion tax, and the

347
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: Dion tax is casuals care too. Casuals are attracted to

348
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: this too. Drive by fans are attracted to it. And

349
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the drive by casual has a couple of things in common.

350
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: Number One, they hardly know anything about the sport. Number two,

351
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: they're the first mouth off about the sport, and therefore

352
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: you will get the wildest, most outlandish, off the wall,

353
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: window licking stupid takes that you will ever hear in

354
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: your life from the drive by casual crowd about Colorado.

355
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: They know nothing about the sport. Normally, the only time

356
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: you hear from these folks is NFL draft time, when

357
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: people who watch college football for about two weeks out

358
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: of the year start to pontificate mouth off about our sport. Well,

359
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: the one bit of bad news the Dion Tax, if

360
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: you will, is the folks you normally only have to

361
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: hear from during NFL draft time. They're here now and

362
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: they want to talk to you about Colorado football, and

363
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: then eventually they're gonna want to talk to you about

364
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve and the Big twelve, and then law

365
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: and behold. They're going to have takes on conference championship races,

366
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna be right there in the think

367
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: of college football playoff talk, and if you disagree with them,

368
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: you get labeled. That's the Dion Tax. I would never

369
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: apologize for it if I were him. I'm just telling

370
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: you it's here here, Here's what it is. It's basically

371
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: how soccer fans view people like me when the World

372
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: Cup comes around, because they know that's the only time

373
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch soccer. And I do have an opinion. Now,

374
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: I largely try and keep it to myself, but I

375
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: do have an opinion or two on soccer. Mainly I

376
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: see why the sport's not for me. I don't bemoan

377
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: it like, I respect your passion for it, but I

378
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: find out why soccer is not for me when I

379
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: watched the World Cup. But I still watch the World Cup.

380
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: It's very, very entertaining, very fascinating to me. We've got

381
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: like the World Cup of college football happening right now,

382
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: and we got those sorts of folks being attracted to

383
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: our sport by Deon Sanders. So there is one downside

384
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: to this, but there are infinite amounts of upside to it.

385
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: And the other thing is for all these folks talking

386
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: about how terrible the opening month, or at least the

387
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: opening three weeks of the college football schedule was he

388
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: saved you. Dion saved you. He's given you something to

389
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: talk about, pure Bonnie Raiate style. He gave you something

390
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: to talk about now this week. You don't need it,

391
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: although he'll be right in the thick of it again

392
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: when they go to Oregon. You don't need it. Like

393
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: we got Notre Dame, Ohio State, we got FSU Clemson

394
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: this week. We got all kinds of big time matchups.

395
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: But he's here to stay. That brand, that name's here

396
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: to stay because they are sitting here three and oh

397
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: and I heard someone say this yesterday and they were

398
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: dead on the money. They are the story of football,

399
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: not just college Colorado is the story of the sport

400
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: of football right now. And that's even after Roger Goodell's

401
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Big bad NFL has taken the field. So I salute,

402
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: I clap, I accept the Dion tax that comes along

403
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: with it. They've got Oregon this week on the road,

404
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: then they've got Southern col next week at home, and

405
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: then they go to Arizona State, and boy boy, do

406
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: I have something for you later with Arizona State. But anyway,

407
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: congrats to Dion and Colorado forty three thirty five the

408
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: final in overtime. They are now three. And oh, I

409
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: promised you some things last week. I promised you that

410
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: we were opening two brand new academy Sports and Outdoors.

411
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: One of them has opened in Brenham, Texas. We had

412
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: several of you go, We had several of you provide

413
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: me evidence that you win. Mister Cawthorn on Twitter just

414
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: a little while ago provided me photographic evidence of his

415
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: receipt and he is receiving a chalice of supremacy as

416
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: a result. We got one opening this week in Kyle, Texas.

417
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: So anyone five of you actually who get there and

418
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: proved to me that you were there. Picture of receipt

419
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: is fine. Picture of yourself in the parking lot is fine.

420
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: This right here, if you're watching on YouTube, this is

421
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: what he happened to send into me. That's all it takes.

422
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: Circled Brenham, Texas right there. Chalice of supremacy on the way.

423
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: So why is this important for those of you who

424
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: may be listening for the first time, Well, it's important

425
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: because Academy Sports and Outdoors makes our show available to

426
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: you free of charge. It's called a sponsor, it's called

427
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: a partner, and we have one on this show, and

428
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: it's Academy. And the reason why we don't have to

429
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: have fourteen plastered all over the place is because they

430
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: take care of us, and we appreciate that. They'll take

431
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: care of you too. All you gotta do is darkened

432
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: the door of one of their in person locations, or

433
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: hit up Academy dot com. They will take care of

434

00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: fall baseball needs or seven on seven flag football needs.

437
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: They got you covered, and they got us covered and

438
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: they bring us to you free of charge. We appreciate

439
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: Academy if knickkndernperson, Academy dot com, big crowd tuned in,

440
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that. If you haven't already,

441
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of you haven't, just clicked the thumbs

442
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: up button. Because we got like six thousand of you

443
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: in here, and less than a thousand of you have

444
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: liked it. Those are poverty numbers. We can do so

445
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: much better than that. All right, let's move on. We're

446
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: twenty three minutes in. I have not taken a set

447
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: from the challice. It's pretty good record, but we're gonna

448
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: break it right now. Oh boy, one of the people

449
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: who got referenced in the show earlier is texting pretty

450
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: mad at the moment. We'll handle that later. Okay. So

451
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: Florida beat Tennessee twenty nine to sixteen. Now, as you know,

452
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't ask for much in life. I just won

453
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: all the credit with none of the blame. Pretty simple, straightforward.

454
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: I had the other day, after predicting this game accurately,

455
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: might I add, I had someone come at me and

456
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: they respectfully said, you're crazy, and their quote and I

457
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: wrote it down. Was there is no way the Florida

458
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: team that lost to Utah will beat Tennessee. And I said,

459
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: I agree with you. And they said, what are you

460
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: talking about. You just predicted Florida to win the game.

461
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: And I said, I sure did. What's your point? And

462
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: they said, didn't you hear what I said? I said,

463
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: no way, the Florida team that lost to Utah is

464
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: going to beat Tennessee. And I said, I know. I

465
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: just said I agree with you. He said, but you're

466
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: speaking out of both sides of your mouth, and I said, no,

467
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not at all. I just don't expect

468
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: the Florida team that lost to Utah to be the

469
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: one that plays Tennessee this upcoming Saturday. This situation was

470
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: ripe for an upset to have. But it's one thing

471
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: like some of you choose to do, and that is

472
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: to come on my channel after the games have happened

473
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: and run your mouth in the comment section. I don't

474
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: mind if you do that as long as you were

475
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: on the record beforehand. If you weren't on the record beforehand,

476
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: I don't even bother reading it. Why would that alarm

477
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: be going off? What would I have to do during

478
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: my own show. Oh, I'll tell you what that is.

479
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: I got to do a radio hit with Canal in

480
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: the morning at seven thirty, and I accidentally set the

481
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: alarm for PM also the wrong day, so we whiffed

482
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: over two on that. Anyway, back to my point, you

483
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: know what, forget the point, Colin. We got the side

484
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: three two one, roll it. I don't think Tennessee's the

485
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: team America thinks they are. What if I told you

486
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee has only put up two pass plays of over

487
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: twenty yards. What if Florida just stones Tennessee early. What

488
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: if they're getting some obvious passing down third and lungs

489
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: in their force and Joe Milton to throw into the

490
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: teeth of that defense, I'd take one fifty on the ground.

491
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: If it's complimentary and Florida plays good ball. I'm just saying,

492
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: negate the stuff that assisted it, and you shooting your

493
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: own self in the foot in week one, and you

494
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: got a game on your hands here, We're gonna see

495
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: an inspired performance from Florida Saturday. Somehow, some way, Florida's

496
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to turn this into a hammer fight.

497
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: And not only am I gonna take them to cover

498
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: I think Florida is gonna find a way somehow to

499
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: pull the upset. You see that over on Swamp twenty

500
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: four to seven. You see that against Utah twenty one

501
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: carries for thirteen yards. Abysmal. I was there. I stood

502
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: on the field and watched it. Next week against McNee state,

503
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: fifty one carries, they ran it for half a mile

504
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty seven yards. Mathematically it doesn't work out,

505
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: but follow me here, and so we were wondering which

506
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: Florida shows up. I tended to think that have a

507
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: little more success running the ball than they did against Florida.

508
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: I said I'd take one fifty. Well, they put one

509
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: eighty three up and three touchdowns. Trevor Etn twenty five carries,

510
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy two yards, one touchdown. Graham Mertz

511
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: was really good. Like if you listen to this, Okay,

512
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: listen to these two stat lines. Neither one of them

513
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: are program records. Either one of them are gonna land

514
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: you on the helmet sticker of the week segments. But

515
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: if you give me Etn carrying it for one seventy two,

516
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: actually that is a career kind of day. And you

517
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: give me Graham Merz nineteen of twenty four for one

518
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six and a touchdown and another one

519
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: on the ground. I believe that is plenty good enough

520
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: when you've got Austin Armstrong's defense playing like they did

521
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: yesterday to compete in and possibly win every game Florida plays. Now,

522
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: as you know, someone just heard me say something I

523
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: didn't say. Someone just heard me say Florida will win

524
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: every game they play the rest of the way. No,

525
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: I didn't. I said this caliber of game. If they

526
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: can bottle that up and they can take it not

527
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: only in their backyard but also on the road, they

528
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: can win every game they play. You don't think they

529
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: can compete against Georgia playing the way they did yesterday.

530
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: I do. They're not a better team than Georgia. That

531
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: effort will give me a ballgame against Georgia. That effort

532
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: will let you go into LSU and have a shot.

533
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: That effort against Florida State, and yes, they do play

534
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: all these teams. Friends, That effort will give you a

535
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: shot against anyone you play. As for Tennessee, I'm a

536
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: circle back to Florida in a second. As for Tennessee,

537
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: this was the third lowest scoring output they've had under

538
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Josh Heipel. They had three explosive pass plays after having

539
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: two the entire season leading up to this one. So basically,

540
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: you got a lot more of what you had already had.

541
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: I'd say coming into the game, I'll say it once

542
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: more because I think people know it now. I just

543
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: think America had not watched Tennessee. But you saw them

544
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: put up half a hundo on Virginia, and so you

545
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: assumed they were just bombing away on teams, and they weren't.

546
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: They have not thrown the ball effectively all year. They

547
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: didn't throw the ball effectively in this game. There were flashes,

548
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: there were moments, but overall it looked kind of discombobulated.

549
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: They've got to run the ball to win the game,

550
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do it effectively enough. Last night. They

551
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: had three point seven yards per carry. They had ten

552
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: penalties for seventy nine yards. That's the road. That's the

553
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: road at play there. They were zero of three on

554
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: fourth downs, like the swamp Man incredibly incredibly tough place

555
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: to go into. And then when you combine that with

556
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: the fact that the home team there was in really

557
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: it was in desperation, must win mode. That's how they played.

558
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: I expected them to play. So it just goes to

559
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: show you again, me mall was right. Me Ma was

560
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: always right. Mema always will be right when she said.

561
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: Wise men make observations in week one, foolish men draw conclusions.

562
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: We watched Tennessee run it up on Virginia in week one.

563
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: We watched Florida suck water through a garden hose against

564
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: Utah in week one, and the same teams you watched

565
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: meet two weeks later in what happens there? You go,

566
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: that's college football. That's why you just observe things. In

567
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: week one, we get twelve versions of a team throughout

568
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: the year, twelve versions you don't get the first week

569
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: repeated twelve times. Looked really good. Last night they ESPN

570
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: did did a great service to Florida recruiting by the

571
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: way they featured the stadium vibe and the in game

572
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: vibe last night. That was a big one for billion A.

573
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: For your trust me, that was a big recruiting night

574
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: for them. They had to have it huge rivalry game.

575
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: You got a streak that you're running up against Tennessee.

576
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: You don't want to be the guy who drops the

577
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: ball and you didn't. And now all of a sudden,

578
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, all seemed lost in week one. That's not

579
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: even a conference game. Last night it's a conference game.

580
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: So there you go. You we want to er in

581
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: conference play. They've got Charlotte this week and then they

582
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: go to Kentucky Vanderbilt at South Carolina. I know what

583
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: Florida fans are thinking. You're thinking one, two, three, four,

584
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: if we should be six and oh going into the

585
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: bye week, six and one going into the bye week,

586
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: and they very well could be. And then you got Georgia. Okay,

587
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: so now that we've at least balanced the scales a

588
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: little bit, it sounded like I was hating on ten

589
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: to see there. I wasn't. I should put this on

590
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: the record. I owe this to Director Colin, So I

591
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: don't know if I told you this, Colin. There were

592
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: two people, neither of them were Director Colin. There were

593
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: two people that got just a little bit obnoxious in

594
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: my DMS last week, both Tennessee fans. And I handled

595
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: myself with lowercase grace, as I call it, never even

596
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: dignified them with capitalizing any of my letters. And I

597
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: just said, oh, okay, we'll see. I never responded in

598
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: more than two or three words, mainly emojis, And they

599
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: kept on going, kept on going, kept on going. And

600
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: I looked for him last night. I didn't even get

601
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: so much as a cricket emoji from them. There were ghosts.

602
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: It is wild how many people disappear on Saturday nights

603
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: in college football season. It's a total epidemic. And I

604
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: don't know what the solution is. Actually, I do know

605
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: what the solution is. Just kind of keep your mouth shut.

606
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: It's so simple, it's so easy. And I say that

607
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: behind a microphone. But at least I'm here. At least

608
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: I own it when I'm wrong, because we have some

609
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: very painful moments coming up later in the show where

610
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: I will have to admit just that it's not the

611
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: worst thing in the world. It's not. But because of that,

612
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: I may have gotten a little forceful in my prediction

613
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: of Florida to beat Tennessee. It's nothing against Tennessee, nothing

614
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: against Josh Hipel. I'll text Bill Martin later apologize if

615
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: I need to, but yeah, so I will make amends

616
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: in some other way. Maybe I'll donate like fifty dollars

617
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: to the Nile Fund over there. Someone called Grant. I'll

618
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: get with him later, all right. It was a good

619
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: day yesterday. This is turning the chapter. Turn the page now,

620
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: new chapter. Big day yesterday. Missouri beat Kansas State thirty

621
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: to twenty seven. But we were there the Once upon

622
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: a Saturday tour was on the road and we were

623
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: up there at for Rofield for the first time ever,

624
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: never been to a game there. It's such a beautiful

625
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: thing when Saturday gets here, you know, because Sunday through Friday, everybody,

626
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: myself included. But really it matters. But it doesn't matter

627
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: because as long as you have to play the game,

628
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm for unlimited amounts of talking. What I'm not for

629
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: is the whole who would win twenty nineteen LSU or

630
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Alabama. I never take part in that because

631
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: it's dumb because you'll never get an answer. But it

632
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how many people pick Kansas State to win

633
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: this game. As long as the game was gonna happen,

634
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: I was cool with it. So I'm up there. Uncle

635
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: Dennis was there, and he and I are on CBS

636
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Sports HQ pregame and we're talking and we're we're both

637
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: picking Kansas State on the show last week, I picked

638
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: Kansas State. Remember when I told you I was gonna

639
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: have to swallow a few bitter pills on this show.

640
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: Well here's one of them. And I said something to

641
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: the effect of, I don't know where the edges are from. Missouri. Well,

642
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: they have a kid named Luther Burden, obviously, and he

643
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: was a non factor last year's game seven catches for

644
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen yards and two touchdowns. Yesterday, much

645
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: bigger factor. But Brady cook Man. I was talking to

646
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: some some folks on the Kansas State staff, and I

647
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: mean they were worried about him coming into the pregame

648
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: and they said, real duel threat guy, Like we really

649
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: respect his running ability. But Man even through the area

650
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: yesterday twenty three of thirty five three fifty six, two

651
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: touchdowns career day for him. Drinkq Witz said the home

652
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: crowd booed him at one point. I'm not saying it

653
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: didn't happen. I'm saying I was on the field for

654
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: the entire game and I didn't hear it. Maybe I

655
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: was tuned out, I don't know, but they weren't booing

656
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: him at the end. I promise you that, but that's

657
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: not really what I want to talk to you about.

658
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: I want to give Missouri all a credit in the world.

659
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: They found a way to win and there was never

660
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: a two possession lead either way in this game. It's

661
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: a great game. Like we absolutely chose the right place

662
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: to be. We could have been in Starkville blowout, we

663
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: could have been at Illinois. Penn State ended up running

664
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: away with that one. I'm very happy with the choice

665
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: we made. But let me walk you through the sequence.

666
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: So I always love to take you guys as much

667
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: in depth on what we see on the road as possible.

668
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: Follow me on Instagram for more at late Kick Josh.

669
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: Those Instagram stories can get pretty wild on Saturday. So

670
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: here's the scene. I'm gonna show you video on a second,

671
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: but here's the scene. The game kicks off at eleven am.

672
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: I have a five forty five flight out of Saint Louis,

673
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: Colombia is an hour and forty minutes west of Saint Louis.

674
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really really cutting it close. So we

675
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: start getting a fast paced game, and I'm excited. It's

676
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: back and forth. It's not a blowout, but it's a

677
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: fast paced game. We get to halftime well before the

678
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: other noon Eastern time kickoffs get to halftime. Third quarter,

679
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: it goes by pretty fast. Fourth quarter, Snail's pace ugly.

680
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: Snail could not go any slower, and so I'm starting

681
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: to lose hope. But I've still got an outside shot.

682
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: Plus it's not like it's one hundred thousand seat stadium, right,

683
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: so traffic should disperse fairly quickly. Not to mention, we

684
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: have to stay behind a new post game for CBS anyway,

685
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: so that normally gives traffic a little time to die down.

686
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: Then we're tied with a minute to go, and I'm

687
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, over time is a legit possibility here.

688
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: And Missouri's got the ball and they get out towards

689
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: midfield and then they cross midfield, but I'm thinking to myself,

690
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: they're not in field goal range yet. And then they

691
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: have that delay of game and I'm thinking, well, certainly

692
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: they're not in field goal range. And I'm standing a coach.

693
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: Quinn is standing next to me, and I'm telling her

694
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: we're going to have to rebook travel. And I look

695
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: up and they're lining up for a field goal and

696
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: there's already been one that's been returned because it was

697
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: short earlier in the game. And sure enough, K State's

698
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: got a guy standing under the upright and they kick

699
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: a sixty one yard walk off field goal. Colin, we've

700
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: got the video. We can roll it. I had the

701
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: eye Josh out and I was dutifully shooting for you guys.

702
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: This right here is wild. This is our seventh field storming.

703
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: And if you're listening on podcast, just a man, imagine

704
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 1: everybody on the front row of the student section leaned forward,

705
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: their knees are up on the guard rails, and as

706
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: soon as that thing goes through, with about one yard

707
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: to spare, here we go and we're off. There's nothing

708
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: like this. You don't get this in the NFL. I

709
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: don't know what happens overseas. I never watch international sporting events.

710
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: Certainly Dodgers padres does not deliver this. But there we go.

711
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: We're out there. We're getting paint State materials thrown at

712
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: us left and right verbally, of course. And here's the

713
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: thing about being in a field storming. It was drizzling yesterday,

714
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: temperature's upper sixties, low seventies, But when you get in

715
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: the middle of it, it feels like it's one hundred degrees.

716
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: Like the body heat theory is real. The body heat

717
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: theory is very real. I think possibly immunity on that.

718
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, but this was really fun to witness,

719
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: and that was my first time up there. It reminded

720
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: me of the Baylor game a couple of years ago

721
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: when we went there and it was our first time

722
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: there and they beat Oklahoma field storming eleven am kickoff

723
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: there as well. They serve breakfast in the press box. Chat.

724
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: They served breakfast in the press box that day. What

725
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: more could you possibly need? Harrison MeVis the kicker by

726
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: the way, I am out on the field postgame and

727
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: his family was on the field waiting for him, and

728
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: I guess it was his mom. She was on the

729
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: phone calling up family members making sure they had watched.

730
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: It was a great time, really great time. Now here's

731
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: what I'm curious about. How will Missouri handle this colin

732
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: You have their schedule by any chance, Missouri. I know

733
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: that they go to Saint Louis, I think for a

734
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: neutral site game this week. And the talk on the

735
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: field afterwards was not about this Memphis game coming up Saturday,

736
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: and it was not about a trip to Vanderbilt in

737
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: two weeks. Uh huh, they were focused on LSU. That's

738
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: their next home game. LSU comes in there October seventh. Great,

739
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: and that maybe the next time most of the country

740
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: sees you got to lock in, Eli drink Witzen Company

741
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: up there, gott to lock in. Can't be overlooking anyone.

742
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: Kansas State. Just as for them, I said on the

743
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: postgame show we did on CBS yesterday, and I'll say

744
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: it here. I find it very hard to knock them.

745
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: They just played a really good football game. They played

746
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,479
Speaker 1: a team that was up to face them. And also

747
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: it's not a conference game. And also also they exist

748
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: in a conference where teams lost to Ohio, Miami of Ohio,

749
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: and South Alabama yesterday. All hope is not lost for

750
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: Kansas State. Plus didn't they lose some random game last year?

751
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: Jesse who they lose to last year? Wasn't it was

752
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: it too Lane. It's not a random game. But they

753
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: had this happen to them last year and they're fine,

754
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: they will be fine. So good game, really good game

755
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: to watch. I hope you guys were able to catch it.

756
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: And two thumbs up for our trip to Missouri. Would

757
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: visit again. Which begs the question, of course, where are

758
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: we going this week? This week's loaded, this week, this week,

759
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: there are like five choices that would probably win on

760
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: most other weeks, but we have to nail down one.

761
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: And so I'm thinking to myself, where's a place we

762
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: haven't been in a while. Where can we see two

763
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: teams we haven't seen this year? Where do we think

764
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: a really tight football game that the nation's attention will

765
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: be focused on is going to go down? And we've

766
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: arrived at a conclusion the once upon a Saturday tour.

767
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: We'll be rolling up north to South Bend, Indiana for

768
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State Notre Dame this Saturday night. It's a prime

769
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: time kickoff. Haven't seen either one of them this year.

770
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 1: The only time I've ever been to Notre Dame Stadium

771
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: was in twenty seventeen. I was working in local news

772
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: in Columbus Georgia. Georgia played up there in an out

773
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: of conference game, and we set out at four am

774
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: and drove all the way from Columbus, Georgia to South Bend, Indiana,

775
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: which is basically Canada as far as we were concerned.

776
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: And then we get there a few hours before the game.

777
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: We cover the game, can't afford a hotel. We turn

778
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: it around and we come all the way back. And

779
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: then I did a show the next night on no

780
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 1: sleep and am I a hero A little bit? Yeah?

781
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: I think co And now lo and behold here we are.

782
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: Years later, we get to go back up there. Looking

783
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: very forward to this. So Ohio State Notre Dame is

784
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: one of the biggest games of the season, and we're

785
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: going to talk a lot more about it this week.

786
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: We'll predict the game Tuesday night, but just wanted to

787
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: get out out there. It is official, very difficult decision.

788
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,959
Speaker 1: There were heated, heated debates this morning and arguments about

789
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: where we should go, but we're headed to South Bend,

790
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: Ohio State versus Notre Dame. Cannot wait for that one.

791
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: Let's get back to yesterday, though some very wild takes

792
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: on this next game. Sometimes, in fact, a lot of

793
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: time where a lot of times when I'm on the road,

794
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: games will be happening and I can't watch them live,

795
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: but you know, my phone's on, so I'll be getting

796
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: feedback on games I haven't seen yet. And for example,

797
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: this is not the game we're about to talk about,

798
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: but yesterday our Buddy Van and texted me. He said, boy,

799
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: we've got some interesting things going on in Startville. Well,

800
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: to me, that means Mississippi State must be about to

801
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: pull an upset over LSU. He's an LSU, die hard

802
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: LSU fan, And I opened the phone up and it's

803
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: forty one to fourteen. So his version of interesting is

804
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: just a splattering. For example, Well, with this next game,

805
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: I had a lot of folks panicking and I'll just

806
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: let's just roll into it here. Georgia twenty four, South

807
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: Carolina fourteen. I just saw this game so much different

808
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: than everyone else. I got a bunch of feedback on

809
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: it before I watched it, and on the flight home

810
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: this morning, I watched it, and I thought it was

811
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: a great day for Georgia, not a great performance. Not

812
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: all great days coincide with you playing your best ball.

813
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 1: In fact, in a lot of cases, you play very

814
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: subpar ball and you find a way to win, and

815
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: it ends up being a great thing for you because

816
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: it ends up springboarding several intangible aspects of your program.

817
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's what happened with him yesterday. So

818
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: South Carolina, to their immense credit, they just took the

819
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: fight to Georgia early and they out they out executed

820
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: him early. I think yeah, Rattler was eight for eight

821
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: on his opening drive. They were more physical early, which

822
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: is what surprised me the most, you know, given the

823
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: struggles they had in week one. But it's obvious what

824
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: they emphasized. It's obvious they had a really good plan.

825
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: But Georgia goes into the half and then this is

826
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: what's beautiful about theater of the mind. Like you've never

827
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: seen Colin and Jesse before, so you have to just

828
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: imagine what they must look like, what they must be like. Well, likewise,

829
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: you can only imagine what Kirby Smart did in the

830
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: locker room, like a lot of you picture him burning incense,

831
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: possibly speaking in tongues and doing all sorts of wizardry

832
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: to get that team to come out in the second

833
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: half and perform like they were supposed to. And in reality,

834
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: it's just the way football works. I'm sure things were said,

835
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure a few tweaks were made, but by and large,

836
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: you just when you've got better horses, you just gotta

837
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: let the horses run, and Georgia kind of let the

838
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: horses run in the second half. Might we look back

839
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: at that second half, by the way, and think that

840
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: that was George's trigger moment, because yesterday, in the second

841
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: half uils of padlock stats. They outscored South Carolina twenty

842
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: one's up. They had a two ninety to one, twenty

843
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: nine yard digit vantage, fifteen to seven first down advantage,

844
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: they had nearly seven yards per play. They held South

845
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: Carolina to twenty four yards passing, picked them off twice,

846
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: and out rushed them one hundred nineteen to twenty five.

847
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: That is a dissection in the second half of a

848
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: football game that they looked woefully inadequate in in the

849
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: first half. Last year means nothing. And I knowe you

850
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: hear Kirby Smart say it all the time and all

851
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: these coaches who do big things one year they have

852
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: to just hammer at home all the time. But I

853
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people believe it because of

854
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: how many times I hear the word defending seb Well,

855
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: this is the defending SEC Champer national champ. They're not

856
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: defending anything. Nothing about last year matters. In fact, a

857
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: lot of times in college football, the better you did

858
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: the year before, the more detrimental it can be to

859
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: you in the next year. Because every opponent you have

860
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 1: is fired up because of what you did last year.

861
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: But yet you get no carryover effect. Georgia doesn't get

862
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: an additional point or a yard passing or yard rushing

863
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: because they're back to back national champs. They got to

864
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: go out and prove it. This team has to be

865
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: this year's team. And yet everyone gives you their best shot.

866
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: And like I always say, the sport doesn't sit still.

867
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: So you're a four touchdown favorite in this game, doesn't matter.

868
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: Don't matter once you taste your own blood a little

869
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: bit in the first half and you realize, well, South

870
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: Carolina is not about to play the part they're supposed

871
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 1: to play. Apparently, are we going to play the part

872
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: we're supposed to play? First half? No, second half? Overwhelming? Yes.

873
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: So I couldn't care less what they did the last

874
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: two years. I felt that this is a team with holes.

875
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: So far this year, I think most diehard Georgia fans

876
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: who have watched them have noticed, Yeah, there's inadequacy on

877
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: this team. Good thing. We're in a year where there

878
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: is no elite team out there apparently right now. And

879
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: so the point is you've got to find whatever your

880
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: identity is for this year's team, that team that played

881
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: in the second half yesterday, that was an identity, Like,

882
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: that's a team that looks like it knows what it's doing,

883
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: and of course, can you bottle that up? Can you

884
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: avoid starting slow the rest of the year. I don't know,

885
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: That's why I ask it in question form. Is that

886
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: second half something that we will look back on with

887
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: Georgia a month from now when they play Florida, for example,

888
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: and we say, boy, this team's clicking on all cylinders

889
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: now they just blew Florida out. I think that second

890
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: half against South Carolina that's really when the identity of

891
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: this year's team was born. Or could we be looking

892
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: at them a month from now getting upset by Florida

893
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, we got fooled by that second

894
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: half against South Carolina. It really should have paid attention

895
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: to how long it even took them to get a

896
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: double digit lead on them. It was a red herring.

897
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: It was a Canarian of coal mine. I don't know

898
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 1: a lot of skill in saying those words. By the way,

899
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: no matter how big the microphone is they put in

900
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: your face, don't be afraid to just say I don't

901
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: know sometimes I've got a feeling that Georgia will be

902
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: much better because of yesterday. That's my feeling. I've got

903
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: a feeling that when they go to Auburn in a

904
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: couple of weeks could be interesting. They're not in a

905
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: situation right now where they're playing the kind of football

906
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: where you just expect them to shred folks like maybe

907
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: they have in the last couple of years. I don't

908
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: think the ceiling of this team is as high as

909
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. That's fine. They still win

910
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: a title and not be as good as the last

911
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,439
Speaker 1: couple of years. They could go ten and two this year.

912
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's going to turn out, but

913
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: I do think yesterday in the long run, was a

914
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: good day for Georgia football. Even though the Georgia football

915
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: team played well short of what the standard there is.

916
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: The way I saw that, I mean, my phone's going

917
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: crazy with folks freaking out saying, man, we ain't gonna

918
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: make it nowhere near what we want to make it

919
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: if we play like this, Well you know what, Florida

920
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: folks said the same thing, And two weeks later, there

921
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: they are upset in Tennessee and they don't even consider

922
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: it in an upset. It's football, man, It's the way

923
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: it works. They're watching us in fruit Code Florida, Dallas, Texas, Bloomington, Illinois.

924
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. Make sure tell five friends

925
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: about the show. We don't do anything else here. You know,

926
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: it's just college football year round. And if you would

927
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: subscribe to the channel, it would help us greatly. But

928
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: most of you already have. We appreciate it. We got

929
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: about fifty percent of our audience subscribe. Now. That means

930
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: for every one of you that has done your due

931
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: diligence and done your role, one of you hasn't. And

932
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna shame you. Although I think you should

933
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: be ashamed. I'm not gonna be the one who shames you.

934
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let your conscience do that for me. We

935
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: got some more games to talk about. I got a

936
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: couple of best bets coming up, you know what. Believe

937
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: it or not, I've still got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

938
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: I still got eight games to talk about. It just

939
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: will do it a little more rapid fire. But I

940
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: cannot leave some of this unmentioned. Although I do want

941
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 1: to keep a tradition alive. Hold on just a second.

942
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: It's our it's our mid show chapstick reapplication not brought

943
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: to you by anyone as of yet. LSU. Speaking of dissection,

944
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 1: LSU took Mississippi State apart yesterday. They disassembled them piece

945
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: by piece, complete mismatch. Was very wrong about this one.

946
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: Expected a competitive game, Not so much. Padlockstat got one here, Padlockstat.

947
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, LSU quarterback thirty of thirty four for three

948
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one yards, not even on Xbox, just

949
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: in real life. Two touchdowns, had another two on the ground.

950
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: This may be the best LSU looks all season. I

951
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: shudder to think of what it would look like if

952
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: they played better than this. I don't really know how

953
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: that would happen. But man Malik Neighbors also went off

954
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: thirteen catches in this game. This is a Devonte Smith's

955
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: stat line for him. Thirteen catches, two thirty nine, two touchdowns.

956
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: That's the fourth highest receiving yardage total in LSU football history.

957
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: The Florida State game was what it was. I guarantee

958
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: you a bunch of folks watched this yesterday and said, well,

959
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 1: this doesn't look like the same team that Florida State

960
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: ran away from. It is the same team, It's just

961
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: not the same version because you get twelve unique versions

962
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: of a team in a given year, and maybe more

963
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: if you make a Bowl or you make the playoff

964
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. The collective amnesia that sets in in this

965
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: sport every year is amazing. I try not to suffer

966
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: from it. Sometimes I do as well. You just we

967
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: learn the same lessons every year. Guys. A year is

968
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: a long time, so maybe it just that three hundred

969
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: and sixty five days it's long enough to forget these lessons.

970
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: But did anyone really did anyone expect this team to

971
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: be life? I picked Mississippi State plus the points, not

972
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: because I thought LSU would be lifeless. I thought Mississippi

973
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: State would have a lot more life. Just had a

974
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: bad read on that team. I'll talk about them in

975
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: a second. But LSU's drive chart is off the charts

976
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: to a really good team, Mississippi State. This got taken apart. Man.

977
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: We've got the game on right now outside our studio.

978
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: They're replaying it, I think on maybe SEC Network, and

979
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: I was out there watching it beforehand. Again, I watched

980
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: it early this morning, but I'm watching it again, they

981
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 1: had twenty carries Mississippi State, so they had a fifty

982
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: two yard run in the game. You take that long

983
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: run out. The rest of their day on the ground

984
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: was twenty carries for forty two yards. And they were

985
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: dead set on the idea that they were just going

986
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: to run the ball on LSU, and LSU was dead

987
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: set on saying not really, no, you won't. Oh, by

988
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 1: the way, you'll trail by double digits the entire game.

989
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: So run all you want to, but by the way,

990
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: you still won't be to run it. Also, there was

991
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,439
Speaker 1: a point in the first quarter, and this is really

992
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: hard to fathom, but Mississippi State had eleven straight plays

993
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 1: of either zero yards or less. You heard me right, kids,

994
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: Zero was the best they did. Eleven straight plays of

995
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: either zero or negative yardage. Total identity crisis. I know

996
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: what they want their identity to be. They can't win

997
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: doing that. It's painfully obvious. And so it's just the

998
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: team that's not ready right now. And it's a shame

999
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: because I thought they may be. I really respect the

1000
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: level of experience they have on that team, but it

1001
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I mean, if it's not being put in

1002
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: the proper position. It doesn't really matter. They go to

1003
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: South Carolina and Bama. That's their next two games. But LSU,

1004
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, same theme as we talked about with Florida.

1005
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: You lose a Week one game against a really good opponent,

1006
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: and what does it mean? It means just what it means,

1007
00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: nothing more, nothing less. LSU could have scheduled North Texas

1008
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: beat them by thirty in Week one and they'd be

1009
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 1: three and oh right now. They'd be the same team,

1010
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: but they'd be three and oh right now, and you'd

1011
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: be talking about them as a bona fide national title contender.

1012
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: See that's the thing about early in the year in

1013
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, everyone played another professional team. Today in college football,

1014
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: you got folks doing what Michigan's doing and you got

1015
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: folks doing what LSU's done. So the difference is, I'm

1016
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: not taking a shot at Michigan. I'm just saying, even

1017
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: if Michigan's got half a dozen fatal flaws about that team,

1018
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: you would have no way to know it right now.

1019
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: LSU's flaws. The only difference is they just happened to

1020
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: get exposed early, so they got to work on correcting

1021
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: it earlier. Didoh with Florida. I'm not ever painting a

1022
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: loss as a great thing, but at least it lets

1023
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: you know what you have to work on. Wouldn't you

1024
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: rather find out that you got a leak in the

1025
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: ship in the harbor rather than fifty miles out off shore.

1026
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: Doesn't turn out well when you find out that late.

1027
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: I tried to make a sailing joke, but I really

1028
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,760
Speaker 1: got nothing good Christopher cross song, but I got nothing

1029
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: in the form of what we would call seamanship humor. Yes,

1030
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: let's move on several added takeaways. You can make of

1031
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: these what you will. I watched as many of these

1032
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: as I could. I think the JP pole has a

1033
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: Washington problem. Okay, we started Washington I think number twenty,

1034
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: and now they've moved all the way up inside the

1035
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen range. I can't remember exactly where they were. Anyway,

1036
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: they're too low, and this is me talking to the model.

1037
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, you got Washington too low? If

1038
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: you're listening on podcasts, excuse me. This is just me

1039
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: talking to the model. For a second. I think they

1040
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: look really good. They did some bad stuff to Michigan

1041
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: State yesterday. They did what elite teams do so there

1042
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: was zero hope at any point. It was just a

1043
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: total kill shot right between the eyes immediately left no

1044
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: oxygen in the room. I know that's vivid, but it

1045
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: was very graphic. This was a TVMA special thirty five

1046
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: to nothing. Not for the game. That was the first half,

1047
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,720
Speaker 1: a four hundred and nine to one hundred and forty

1048
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: six yards advantage. Not in the game in the first half.

1049
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 1: Pennix had three hundred and seventy five through the air.

1050
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: In the first half. They had over seven hundred total

1051
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: yards on the road against Michigan State. So I don't

1052
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 1: know what the JP pole is gonna do with Washington

1053
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: this week, but so help me. If they're not in

1054
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: the top ten, I will do what I swore to

1055
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 1: you I will never do. I will manually override that thing.

1056
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: I will stand for it no longer as PAC twelve paate,

1057
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: it is my duty to do such things. Next up,

1058
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: Oh Arkansas, Oh Arkansas, I weep for you. Brigham Young,

1059
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: Come in there and it comes in there, Come in there.

1060
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: They come in there and they beat them thirty eight

1061
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 1: to thirty one. The offensive line is bad. It's bad

1062
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: to quite bad in Fayetville right now, and It's a

1063
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: shame because you have like a story of the year

1064
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: caliber team in a year where the SEC West is

1065
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: all kinds of topsy turvy, and it's behind a woefully

1066
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: inept offensive line right now, and so it won't be

1067
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: they won't be able to capitalize. Four hundred and twenty

1068
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: four yards to two hundred and eighty one yards, that's

1069
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: how badly they outgained BYU yesterday. Didn't matter, didn't matter.

1070
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: Fourteen penalties for over one hundred and twenty yards just

1071
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: didn't matter. I'm not going to say they gave the

1072
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: game away. You got to have an opponent take it

1073
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: from you. But they lost yesterday a game that I

1074
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: was certain they would win. The points spread was low,

1075
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: but I thought Arkansas would win this thing. They just

1076
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: flat out didn't. Not a good time up there right now,

1077
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 1: and they've got a stretch. I recommend you can tell

1078
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: I watched Biddy's Walking Talk because I just repeated a

1079
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: lot of what he said Trey Bittty. Even if you're

1080
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: not an Arkansas fan, just go check out Trey Biddy's

1081
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: Walking Talks on YouTube after Arkansas games. Now, if you're

1082
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: an Arkansas fan, you should check them out. All the time.

1083
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: But if you're just a sadistic, agnostic, non Arkansas fan

1084
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: who loves to watch people in misery and you revel

1085
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: in it, I can't change your heart got a black heart,

1086
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: But I can entertain you. Go watch Biddy's walking talks

1087
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: when they lose, and if you really want added entertainment,

1088
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: go back in history and watch like the North Texas

1089
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: loss from several years ago. I do it sometimes just

1090
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: for amusement. Florida State beat Boston College thirty one to

1091
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: twenty nine yesterday. This was close, really close. BC was

1092
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: a penalty away from maybe winning this thing at the

1093
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: m FSU was one of them on third down, but

1094
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: that's not a padlock stap. Boston College plus one turnovers,

1095
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: but that's not a padlock stap. Boston College was eight

1096
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: of nineteen on third down and four of five on

1097
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: fourth down. But none of those are padlock stats. And

1098
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: do you know why, because this is the padlock stat

1099
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: eighteen penalties for one hundred and thirty one yards. We

1100
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: can't have that hurricane in the area or not. We

1101
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: can't have that. If we're Boston College and so FSU survived,

1102
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: I'll say the same thing I said about Georgia. This

1103
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: is the last thing in the world Mike Norvel wanted

1104
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: to have happen. But once it happens and you make

1105
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: sure you win the game, it can be one of

1106
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: the best things to happen. Seasons are so long, they're

1107
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: so long. FSU had that big win in week one

1108
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: and people treat it like a coronation and they treat

1109
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: it like you've arrived, and you celebrate like it's a

1110
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: playoff win, and you don't realize we got eleven more

1111
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: of these things to go. And what Florida State's about

1112
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: to learn is how how how far you have to

1113
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: stretch it, like how much gas you have to have

1114
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: in the tank to be a legitimate championship contending team.

1115
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: It's hard, but it's possible to be one. At the

1116
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: end of October, November is like nine weeks long, and

1117
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: they're already starting to find out. You can't just roll

1118
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: your helmet out and win games. It does not work

1119
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: that way. Once folks get a whiff that you're starting

1120
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: to elevate, you get everyone's best shot. They got Boston

1121
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: College's best shot. That's not the last time it'll happen

1122
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: this year, and you'll be favored every week and it

1123
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: won't matter once the game starts and they dealt with it.

1124
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 1: Yesterday they found a way to win. So hats off

1125
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: to them. Do they learn from it? That's the unanswerable

1126
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: question right now. You want some sadness, Colin. I know

1127
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: you and I talked the other day about about getting

1128
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: that music cued up. I don't know if you've ever

1129
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,959
Speaker 1: did that, but man, if we did well, this would

1130
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: be the time for it. I have in my hand

1131
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: a piece of paper that has some information on it that,

1132
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: even though I wrote it myself, I am convinced as

1133
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: a TYPEO and it is the Arizona State drive chart. Yesterday.

1134
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: This is the most Sarah McLachlan special of all Sarah

1135
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: maclachlin specials. Arizona State yesterday against Fresno State was shut

1136
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: out twenty nine to nothing. This is how it happened. Interception, fumble, fumble,

1137
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: turnover on downs interception, halftime, third quarter starts, punt interception, fumble,

1138
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: punt interception, punt interception, end of game. Arizona State, over

1139
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: the course of a four quarter afternoon was minus eight

1140
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: in turnovers. And that, friends, is you get shut out

1141
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine to nothing, and that is what we call

1142
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: a Sarah McLaughlin special. Congratulations you guys play usc this week.

1143
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it. Brutal

1144
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: and as brutal as that is. I didn't pick Arizona

1145
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: State to play for a conference championship, but I did

1146
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: pick this next team to play for a conference championship,

1147
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,959
Speaker 1: and that would be your Oklahoma State Cowboys, at least

1148
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: my Oklahoma State Cowboys. Oh. I didn't talk about save

1149
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: Texas Wyoming for a little bit. You know what, Colin,

1150
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: keep rolling it, keep rolling it. I'll talk about Texas Wyoming.

1151
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: I do need to build myself up to that Oklahoma

1152
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: State game. Texas beat Wyoming thirty one to ten, three

1153
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen yards for Texas, sark said afterwards. It's

1154
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: actually a compliment to us that teams are playing different

1155
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: personnel packages and different fronts and different defenses than we

1156
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: see on tape, because that means they're saving stuff for us.

1157
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: And that is true. And you know what, I'm not

1158
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: even gonna knock them. What has been the biggest problem

1159
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: with Texas football under Steve sarkisian second halfs and finishing

1160
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: They scored twenty one in the fourth quarter last week

1161
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: against Bama, and they scored twenty one this week against Wyoming.

1162
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: They scored twenty one again this week against insert opponent.

1163
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: And you can focus on the fact that it's Wyoming

1164
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: if you want to. Hey, at least they're dominating fourth quarters.

1165
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: At least they're finding ways to pull away. And Wyoming's

1166
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: not a bad team. By the way. They already beat

1167
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. So it's time for conference play. Now, it's

1168
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: time for Texas to dive into conference play. This game

1169
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: classic was what it was. Situation, survive, move on. You're good,

1170
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: all right? Can we talk about Oklahoma State? Now? I'd

1171
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: prefer we didn't, honestly, but unfortunately Colin does have the graphic.

1172
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. So in a moment of

1173
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: vulnerability earlier in the year, I picked Oklahoma State to

1174
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: play for the Big Twelve championship in it but play

1175
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: for it now. In fairness to me, I was right,

1176
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: and they're undefeated in conference play, mainly leaning on the

1177
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: fact that they haven't played a conference game yet. I

1178
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: was right. Just a reminder to the audience. I know

1179
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: some of you are new. I have never been wrong

1180
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: on a prediction ever got a sparkling record going, but

1181
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: sometimes kids or coaches or officials screw it up and

1182
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: what's supposed to happen doesn't end up happening. And it's

1183
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: perfect example right now Oklahoma State has some coaches and

1184
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: kids screwing my prediction up, and I'll give you the bloody,

1185
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: bloody details right here. So yesterday they got out gained

1186
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:50,959
Speaker 1: by South Alabama. Yes, the Yaguars of South Alabama three

1187
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: ninety seven to two oh eight. They barely eclipsed one

1188
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards passing. This piece of paper with all of

1189
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 1: its folds and wrinkles, is still in infinitely better shape

1190
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: than Oklahoma States offense right now. They rotated three quarterbacks,

1191
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: they rotated multiple offensive line combinations, they were four of

1192
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: fifteen on third downs. They lost, they got wood shedded

1193
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: by South Alabama, and there's really no hope in sight

1194
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: right now. But I am going to maintain the following

1195
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: point because it's highlighted. It's highlighted on my sheep. This

1196
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: was not a conference game, so my prediction is alive,

1197
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: and well, excuse me, my prediction is alive. And that's

1198
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: where the period goes. At the end of that sentence.

1199
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: Next up, the fighting Jesses of Penn State went on

1200
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: the road and they beat Illinois, and the Jesse's of

1201
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the world were a little unhappy with this. And need

1202
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: I remind you people, you Jesse's out there, that this

1203
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: team came in your building and beat you a couple

1204
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: of years ago in one of the ugliest football games

1205
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 1: in the modern era. And it's an interesting perspective that

1206
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: I think I am blessed to have on this because

1207
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: you had drops yesterday. If you're Penn State, you had

1208
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: seven penalties for seventy yards. You had missed opportunities all

1209
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: over the place. The offense was ugly. Singleton and Allen

1210
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: combined for under four yards per carry. Allard didn't look

1211
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: great by any stretch at quarterback, and you won thirty

1212
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: to thirteen in a big ten game. You kind of

1213
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: got a little margin on him. And I don't really

1214
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: care how it happened. My point is, Penn State teams

1215
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: in the past lose that game, and you gave yourself

1216
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: a little margin for error there. So good for Penn State.

1217
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: Terrible looking game, Good for them. They got the white

1218
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: out this week, they got they got Iowa. Yeah, Iowa

1219
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: coming in to town. No, Michigan will not be the

1220
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:46,919
Speaker 1: white out game because it's too late in the year.

1221
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: I didn't get to watch much of that game. It's

1222
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: on my to do list for later tonight, but I

1223
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: did task Jesse with watching it, and then I had

1224
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: to proceed to talk him off the ledge the entire afternoon.

1225
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, far worse things could have happened when you

1226
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: had all those little bullet points go against you. Far

1227
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: worse things could happen. I think that Penn State folks

1228
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: are watching their team right now know one what held

1229
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: them back last year. One of those things, specifically is

1230
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: Michigan was the run defense, and there are different opinions

1231
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: in the room as to how far that specific facet

1232
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: of the team has come. But you know what, the

1233
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Michigan game's not next week. Got Iowa next week. Rom

1234
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: and Noodle Express got victimized by Iowa yesterday. Iowa and

1235
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Ole Miss did some very unnecessary things at the end

1236
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: of their games yesterday, and it took us from having

1237
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: a winning day to having a losing day. Now we're

1238
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: still fifty six percent on the year. We're fine, we

1239
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: have made money. No one is going hungry tonight. If

1240
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: they have followed our plays, but I don't know will

1241
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: be better? Will be better? For that I am on

1242
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: two games already. There's a lot of value on the board.

1243
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: This week had over a thousand of you watch Friday

1244
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: Night Lines Friday night, and I trust me, I had

1245
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: a busy travel day Friday. So the fact that I

1246
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: even got to Missouri and got up before midnight to

1247
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: even get the broadcast up spoke volumes about my dedication

1248
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: to Friday Night Lines. Again, the entire ethos of this

1249
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: show is I just want a lot of credit with

1250
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: minimal blame. That's all I want. And so we've got

1251
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: two games we're already on tonight, and we will add

1252
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: onto this throughout the week. Middle Tennessee State plays Colorado State.

1253
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 1: Colorado State most famously was in overtime last night against

1254
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: Colorado's that's a sound of a deflated team. So they're

1255
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 1: coming to Murphy's Borough. You don't just walk into Murphysboro,

1256
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee and beat beat Coach stock still in company. And

1257
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: so we're taking Middle Tennessee State minus two. That's our

1258
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: first best bet of the week and big time game

1259
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: out on the West coast Oregon State eight minus two.

1260
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: And a half going to Pullman to face Washington State.

1261
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: We're taking the beeves. We think that one will probably

1262
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: approach three. But even if it doesn't, we're okay. We

1263
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: think we'll cover there. So Middle Tennessee State minus two,

1264
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: Oregon State minus two and a half. I missed a

1265
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: flight yesterday, so I had to fly home this morning.

1266
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: No sleep, But you know what, Sunday night shows doesn't

1267
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: matter how much caffeine you gotta pump into yourself. We

1268
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: got a good hour, eight minutes out of this tonight,

1269
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: and this week is loaded. This upcoming week is jam

1270
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: packed loaded. We're going to Notre Dame for Ohio State

1271
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, but there are so many marquee games. The

1272
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Tuesday night show is when we do all the predictions.

1273
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: We got a brand new JP pole Tuesday night, and

1274
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: I can promise you significant movement because here you see

1275
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: me in the model side by side. Yes, I stream

1276
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 1: myself on the show. If the model doesn't do its job,

1277
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: I will do the job for it calls. I'm like,

1278
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,799
Speaker 1: I'm like Billy Bob Morton and Armageddon. I'm in NASA

1279
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: mission control and if they're not doing the job, an

1280
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: outer space to my liking, I just manually override it.

1281
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: I can take over. I can do it right here

1282
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: from Earth for a studio. So I appreciate you guys

1283
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: watching for director Colin producer Jesse. I'm Josh Pate. Take here,

1284
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: have a great start to your week and God bless
