3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,000

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Is that whoo whoom? And then and Tye, welcome back

6

Speaker 1: Now where are you? Where are you? I'm in South

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: Florida right now, South Florida.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: Are you trying out to play quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes.

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: Everybody has a shot down here, Tyler. Everybody that has

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: an ability to take a snap and to propel the

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: ball forward with any of their available limbs has a shot.

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: Are you prepared?

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: We didn't play in this out in advance, but as

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: we get through some of our bowlrycaps from non playoff bulls,

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: are you prepared to do the dramatic drive chart reading

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: for the Miami La Tech?

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Ty It's what our training has led us. Okay, Okay,

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: just make me sure fair to say that I am

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: not prepared to talk about the most disastrous offensive performance

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: of the bowl season.

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: So yes, Tye, this is the postseason for me too. Well,

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: welcome one. Welcome all, thank you for stopping on.

Speaker 2: started by Verballers and for Verballers. Dan so on today's show,

37
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: as you know, this is sort of in the wake

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: of the college football playoffs. Both games were played yesterday,

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: so we're going to go through those at the very

40
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: top of the show. We're also going to recap a

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: bunch of the other bowl action that has been going

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: on since we last spoke.

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: And I believe we have five other.

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: Games on like a Bowl Mini Barge that we need

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: to address before we part ways here.

46
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: The Tug Bowl. Oh, that sounds weird. That sounds very weird.

47
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Not crazy about it, but I think we stick with it. Yeah,

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: I think we start with the big stuff up front.

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is college football. It's all big stuff.

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: But let's start with the playoff. And I know you

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: have a number of thoughts. Let's go through all of

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: the action. I believe it's the Gasparilla Bowl was where

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: we left off recapping. We have those few games that

54
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: opening Saturday, but we have not recapped since because I've

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: been on the road, You've been busy with the holidays,

56
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: and we wanted some time to breathe. But we've got

57
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: a lot to rifle through, a lot to rifle through.

58
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: So let's start at the very top here with number

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: one LSU and number four Oklahoma.

60
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Dan.

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: This was a game you might remember, point spread about

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: fourteen points. I think when we previewed it it was

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: a little bit less than that. We both said, Wow,

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: that seems soon. That seems like a lot of points

65
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: for a really good, really good Oklahoma team with a

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: solid off. It's been of a questionable defense, but nonetheless

67
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: they can they can put up points.

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: Well.

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: Final score here LSU sixty three, Oklahoma twenty eight.

70
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: You know, like I generally like to avoid just reading

72
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: off stats and calling that a game recap because our

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: fans are smart enough that they can go out to

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: a box score and read a game cap and figure

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: it out on their own. But I just have to

76
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: read some of these stats if you could let me.

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow twenty nine of thirty nine for ninety three

78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: and seven touchdowns. Seven touchdowns, mind you, in the first

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: fricking half. Yeah, yeah, that's passing touchdowns. By the way,

80
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: he threw it in a one on the ground for

81
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: good measure early in the second half. That's right, seven

82
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns he was responsible for eight because of the

83
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: rushing touchdown. Four of his passing touchdowns went to Justin Jefferson,

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: who also had a monster game with fourteen grabs for

85
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty seven yards. There were only two

86
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: LSU drives that did not result in points. One was

87
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: a punt on their second drive, the other was a

88
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: missed field goal. Dan just an incredible offensive showing by LSU.

89
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if they made it to seven hundred yards.

90
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: It felt like one hundred and seventeen million yards in

91
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: this game. Yeah, but wow, what a showing. You've somehow

92
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: sold LSU's performance. I know and that's the thing that's

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: such go ahead, continue, But that is such a good point.

94
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: It's it was in an credible watch, and it almost

95
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: wasn't surprising. It was surprising that they won by so

96
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: many in that Oklahoma was just unable to respond within

97
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: any sort of consistency. They did get what it was

98
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: seven all the long past to ceedee Lamb gets them

99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: down to the three. Kennedy Brooks punches it in after Lsu.

100
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: I think it was a three play opening drive with

101
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: a short field. Yep. What Lsu was able to do,

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: it almost reminded me a little bit of and I

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: don't know how much you watched, like when Steph Curry

104
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: was at Davidson Sure playing like Georgetown Wisconsin. We're like,

105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: you knew what was about to happen, you knew that

106
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: there was very little you could do. You just sort

107
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: of had to hope to weather it and do your

108
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: own thing at the same time. And even still even

109
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: knowing what was you know, there's a storm common even still,

110
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: what LSU was able to do was so unbelievable on

111
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: a stage like this. Granted Oklahoma's defense with its own

112
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: struggles and even with some improvement in the Big twelve.

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Obviously personnel wise, you know, they lose a corner to

114
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: talk marketing, it's just the depth wasn't there, The talent

115
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: wasn't there. Obviously the suspension's hurt as well up front.

116
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: But what LSU was able to do, and granted they

117
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: have a Blitnikoff Award winner who was largely held in check,

118
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter because Thad Moss, Terris Marshall and

119
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: obviously Justin Jefferson counting off the touchdowns in the end

120
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: zone as he's scoring them is more than enough. And

121
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: it also be relatively easy to overlook the fact that

122
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire makes no difference in this game because

123
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: of hamstring injury. Chris Curry does a nice job, especially

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,559
Speaker 1: in the second half stepping in. It was Davis Price

125
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: as well got some carries that didn't matter. That the

126
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: depth of what LSU was able to do and what

127
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: you can only do, I guess in terms of praying

128
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: against Joe Burrow, like this is a conversation we'll have

129
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: ahead of the National Championship game. But all you can

130
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: do to defend Joe Burrow and this passing attack and

131
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: these receives and these coordinators is hope for drops because

132
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: if you're flushed, if you flesh him out of the pocket,

133
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: he might even be better. If you try to confuse him,

134
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: it probably won't work. If you give him time and

135
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: can't generate a pass rush, that's it. That's it for

136
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: LSU and your hopes against them. I just I came

137
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: away so thoroughly impressed with the fact that they just

138
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: continue to get better, the fact that the defense put

139
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: constant pressure on Jalen Hurts in this Oklahoma offense, which

140
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: when you have to keep up with LSU and your

141
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: defense isn't able to do its job, Oklahoma's offense had

142
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: to had to do something beyond perfection to hang with LSU,

143
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: and they were underwhelming. That's nowhere near good enough. I'm

144
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: glad you brought that up. So two things.

145
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: First off, you're right the box score only tells part

146
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: of the story. Yeah, it felt like an even bigger

147
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: mismatch somehow watching the game live. And secondly, on the

148
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: point of the defense, the LSU defense continued. I think

149
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: it's upward trajectory. They've gotten better throughout the course of

150
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: the year, and granted this was a runaway train. This

151
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 2: game was a runaway train. But the defense I thought

152
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: did a superb job here against one of the better

153
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: offenses in the country. I sort of half expected a

154
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: late surge from Oklahoma where they'd come back, maybe not

155
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: to win the game, but to try and challenge the

156
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: point spread, because that's what some of us, our friends

157
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: in the desert might care about.

158
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: Misrepresent the final score to.

159
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: Be up forty nine to fourteen at half, as LSU was,

160
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: and maintain that intensity, maintain just that composure. That's a

161
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: hard thing to do. That speaks to character, that speaks

162
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: to coaching, that speaks to whatever the hell magic potion

163
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: edwar Zaran has found this year. Because they were really good,

164
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: and I think that's going to be completely glossed over

165
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: because of the offensive output, yes, one hundred percent.

166
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: At one point, Jalen Hurts was four of fifteen, I

167
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: think deep into the first half, as Joe Burrow had

168
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: more touchdown passes than Jalen Hurts had completions. You had

169
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: that weird segue, what was it, Sean McDonough And who's

170
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: the analyst for this game? Blackledge? Yeah, it was Todd

171
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Blacklish talking about like, well, Jalen Hurts is a pretty

172
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: good shot of succeeding the NFL thanks to what Lamar

173
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: Jackson has done in opening doors for dual threats and

174
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: forming NFL. No, Jalen Hurts wasn't doing it against LSU.

175
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: The NFL is harder. The NFL is harder than LSU.

176
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: You had that weird sort of aside in the game,

177
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: and obviously the incomprehensible, incomprehensibly tragic element with Carly McCord

178
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: Steve Ensminger, the LSU offensive coordinators daughter in law in

179
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: that plane crash. And you know this is not I'm

180
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: not positioning this as like overcoming the adversity of what

181
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: Steve Ensminger did. It's just I can't imagine the emotion

182
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: going through him. The fact that he was even able

183
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: to be in the stadium is brutal. I can't I

184
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: can't even wrap my head around how awful everything you know,

185
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: as a as a story happening on the same day.

186
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: I just so so awful. So that was tough. That

187
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: was an incredible story with LSU moving on to the

188
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: National championship, putting a punctuation on just an incredible season.

189
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: But man, the clouds over LSU's day were crazy.

190
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, thoughts terrific thoughts out to the Enspinger family. That's

191
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: a tough one to hear that news shortly before kickoff

192
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: on our way to the gaming list, which is just brutal.

193
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: But LSU does win in resounding fashion sixty three to

194
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: twenty eight in your first playoff semi final. Obviously set

195
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of Peach Bowl records winning that football game.

196
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: So with that being said, LSU punched its ticket. They

197
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: are installed, I believe early as a five or five

198
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite over the Clempson Tigers. Wow,

199
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: Clemson will be going back to the National Championship game

200
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: to defend their title. They won semi final number two

201
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: out at the Fiesta Bowl by twenty nine to twenty

202
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: three margin. This is a fun game through and through.

203
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: Ohio State jumps out to an early sixteen to nothing lead,

204
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: and I thought looked really really good, felt like they

205
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 2: had a good handle on this game. Yeah, But nonetheless,

206
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: Clemson comes back. They make it sixteen to fourteen at half,

207
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 2: goes to twenty one to sixteen I believe midway through

208
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: the third quarter, back and forth the rest of the way,

209
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: Clemson scores with about two minutes left to go up

210
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: twenty nine to twenty three, and Ohio State had a shot.

211
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: Dan They really truly had a shot to win it.

212
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: But Chris Olave breaks off his roote.

213
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: I think o'lave came back to he thought Fields was scrambling,

214
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: so he tried to peel back to help block.

215
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 2: Justin Fields is looking for the post, Nolan Turner was

216
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: looking for the interception and the end of the game. Effectively,

217
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: he falls on the ball in the end zone and

218
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: Clemson marches on Dan Out's standing game all around.

219
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts here? How do you feel?

220
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

221
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: I have so many? First of all, let's start with

222
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: you talk about Ohio State going up sixteen nothing with

223
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: an asterisk in that it felt like it was thirty

224
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: one nothing. It did it felt like you have incredible

225
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: play from JK. Dobbins with was Dann here seventy yard

226
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: It was on the first play of a drive, right,

227
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: a seventy yard touchdown run, and it sort of underscored

228
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: the element of JK. Dobbins where I was trying to

229
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: think about what like a real life comparison would be

230
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out how to deal with JK.

231
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: Dobbins in the open field, and all I could come

232
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: back with was like if there were a runaway jukebox

233
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: coming down a hill at you and you somehow had

234
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: to tackle it and stop it dead in its tracks.

235
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: I just JK. Dobbins is that incredible of a player,

236
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: and the explosive, the explosive plays in this game came

237
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: to define the outcome, you know, along with some other things.

238
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: So Ohio State, you know, he has the drop. JK.

239
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Dobbins has the drop on a screen. He has the

240
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: pass that ultimately hits the ground that looked like it

241
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: was in the immediate aftermath of touchdown but ruled an

242
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: incomplete pass. I'm sure Ohio State fans, with all of

243
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: their emotions saw that and said, even with how good

244
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: they've been, how great they've been, how good they've been

245
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: in the second halves of games, you know, against Wisconsin

246
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: both times really pouring it on, and Clemson's a different

247
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: animal that you see those missed opportunities, and I remember,

248
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, having the same emotion with Oregon both against

249
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State and the National Championship game early on with

250
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: missed opportunities, and even Auburn this season, we're like I

251
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: understand that they have the lead, but they need every ounce,

252
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: they need nose to tail success against a team like

253
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: Clemson that you can't leave points like that on the field,

254
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: And so I imagine the trepidation and fear in the

255
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: hearts of Ohio State fans at that point, even still,

256
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: even with the momentum if you believe in it, changing

257
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: run from Trevor Lawrence before the half, another seventy yard

258
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: run which is just incredible, incredible, even with that, even

259
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: with it was Travis Cten. It was a long screen

260
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: pass to take the third quarter. Yes, even with that,

261
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: even with what's his name, Sean Wade getting ejected for

262
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: and no Ohio State or Clemson fan will be happy,

263
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: no matter how anybody discusses this targeting penalty and ejection.

264
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: Even with that, which I felt was sort of a

265
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: letter call but not a spirit call, if that makes

266
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: any sense, says Trevor Lawrence was sort of ducking his head,

267
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: and I didn't feel like Wade was launching himself maliciously

268
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: in the way that like Oklahoma's corner was ejected for

269
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: that for the hit he had on Clyde Edwards Hilaire.

270
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: Even with that, even with the fumble return for a

271
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: touchdown that's called back and god, it kind of looked

272
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: like a cat. We're gonna have to talk about that one.

273
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: We will got more detail. Even with that, even with

274
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: with Clemson driving the field like they did for that,

275
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: it was a go ahead touchdown with what a couple

276
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game. Even with all of that,

277
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying going against Ohio State, but even having

278
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: to overcome a number of things that set Ohio State

279
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: back from where they thought they should be. Whio State

280
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: was in this game, Ohio State had the opportunity, had

281
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the ball in their hands. You mentioned the play at

282
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: the end of the game, the interception, but I thought

283
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: it was just a remarkable comeback from Clemson going down

284
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: like they did and coming out as listless. You know,

285
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: just the passing game seemed off. They really didn't seem

286
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: to be getting Travis etn involved t Higgins leaves for

287
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: a wide stretch of this game. Even with all of that,

288
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: For Clemson to come back like they did, for Ohio

289
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: State to adjust like they did, even though the second

290
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: half wasn't great offensively for the buck Eyes, I thought

291
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: it was just an unbelievable watch it was a great

292
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: TV show perspective.

293
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: A great game, and especially given the fact that so

294
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: many of these semi finals of not being competitive, this

295
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: one did not all fit that mold. Two things, Yeah,

296
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: two things that jump out at me. Ohio State with

297
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: just nine points in four trips to the red zone.

298
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Okay, that's a. You

299
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: can't do it against these excellents. No, just can. And B.

300
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: I thought Ohio State's defense was really good. For the

301
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: most part.

302
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: It seemed like Clemson receivers were having difficulty for the

303
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: majority of this game getting open, but there were a

304
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: couple big plays that were killer. Credit to our friends

305
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: over at eleven Warriors for these stats.

306
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Listen to them.

307
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: Five passes of more than twenty yards, four runs of

308
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: more than ten yards, and three touchdowns three touchdowns of

309
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: thirty or more yards. You'll remember, going to the season

310
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: when Ryan Day took over one of the things they

311
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: were trying to fix on defense. They gave up way

312
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: too many explosion plays a year ago, and that seemed

313
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: to be fixed for the majority of the season until

314
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: last night. Last night, Clempton was able to take advantage

315
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: some of those big explosion plays, and I think that

316
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: was ultimately what ended up making the difference here. Let's

317
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: go back to that controversial call late in the third quarter.

318
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: So if you didn't see it, I'm sure you can

319
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: find it on YouTube or somewhere out there in the interwebs.

320
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: But justin Ross for Clemson appears to catch a ball

321
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 2: and fumble it. That's how it was ruled on the

322
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: field led to a scoop and score for Ohio State.

323
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: But then they took another look at it. They overturned it,

324
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: saying that he did not complete the process of the catch.

325
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: I I don't know, Like I was trying to listen

326
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: to the explanation from the TV ref I forget his name, right,

327
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: and he was basically saying that, look, a lot of

328
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: these calls are banged, banged, They're going to look so

329
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: much different in slow motion than in real time, and.

330
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: Which is true, which is thank you, captain obvious. I

331
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: get that.

332
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sort of the point, right, You can't really

333
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 2: use that logic when every other review, literally every other

334
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: review throughout the course of this game, in every game,

335
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: relies heavily on slow motion, right, So I'm with John

336
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: Legend and his angry tweets on this one, Dan oh.

337
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: I didn't see this. What did he say?

338
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: He said he took three steps with the ball. He

339
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 2: took three steps he did. It would seem like that

340
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: constitutes possession and it should have been ruled a scoop

341
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: and score for Ohio State. Nonetheless, the drive ends with

342
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: a Clemson punt. On the ensuing possession, Ohio State gets

343
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: it back, they throw a pick, and just another one

344
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: of those things that could have gone Ohio State's way didn't.

345
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: Clemson was ultimately able to capitalize in all the important

346
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: ways and they march on to the championship game.

347
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: We probably need to have a sub when we did,

348
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: like a breakoff show, maybe about Isaiah Simmons by the way,

349
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everywhere he lined up for Clemson's defense. And granted,

350
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: I just didn't watch a lot of Clemson this year.

351
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: I watched Clemson while games were close, but I'm not

352
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: watching you know, a full half of garbage time against

353
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 1: you know, wake Er Austin College, so you know, he

354
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really get to display what he does against great

355
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: teams when Clemson just plays in a conference without that

356
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: many great teams. What he was able to do playing

357
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: center field, playing against slot dudes, filling run fits whatever.

358
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: He is an incredible, incredible player.

359
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: And I was watching this game with my cousin and

360
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 2: a close friend, both of whom were less familiar with

361
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: Isaiah Simmons' body of work. Sure, and I was just

362
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: pointing out that as the Giants fan in the room,

363
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: or one of two Giants fans in the room, yeah,

364
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: Isaiah Simmons would fit real nice. Where would he fit

365
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: real nice?

366
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: Said?

367
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 2: Just about anywhere. You could play him pretty much anywhere

368
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: you won at all three levels of the defense. And

369
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: in this game he had the interception. You could see

370
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: him out there as like a nickel corner. He was

371
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: playing safety linebacker and saw his hand on the ground

372
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: a couple times. So he's a versatile modern defender who's

373
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: going to go very high in the draft and will

374
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: no doubt be a terror for LSU trying to game

375
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: play around him. I don't know how much it matters

376
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: because the LSU offense is so good, but that is

377
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: a topic for another day.

378
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: Even on those long Ohio State runs, it was Isaiah

379
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: Simmons passing the Clemson DBS, fast dudes passing them in

380
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: the open field. Yeah, hopelessly trying to catch JK. Dobbins,

381
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: who happens to be just another ten yards. He catches

382
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Dobbins of course. Yeah, Chad Smith has a monster game.

383
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: The linebacking corp for Clemson in general was terrific. And

384
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, you hear coaches ahead of games like this,

385
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: you know it's come down to you know, who wins

386
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: the turnover battle. We got to generate takeaways, blah blah blah,

387
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: all true, all important. The chunk plays I feel like

388
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: decided this game for better and war for better and

389
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: for worse. Justin Field's downfield was fine. Uh, he didn't

390
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: use his legs a lot, but when he did a

391
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: couple of times it worked out really well. But it

392
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: was Chris o'lave, it was Austin Mack, it was kJ

393
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: Hill not really getting down down field to open up

394
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: the offense that ultimately I think was a pretty huge

395
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: fact or for Ohio State, not you know, pouring it

396
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: on in the second half the end with just that

397
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: that late touchdown in the fourth quarter, so a really

398
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: incredible watch, and I just I came away needing to

399
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: come down. It was that midnight Eastern when this game ended,

400
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: and I just needed to take a few breaths. I

401
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: just needed I needed a second, like, okay, all right,

402
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: all right, it's over. So now we get an all

403
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: Tiger national championship. I like the Tigers here.

404
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 2: So yeah, LSU minus five against Clemson. Yeah, that's how

405
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: it looks right now in your college football playoff national

406
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: championship game. Clemson takes advantage of big plays. Ohio State

407
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 2: had it, they had it, they had opportunities, but they

408
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: were not able to capitalize.

409
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they made themselves. By the way, I mentioned

410
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: Clemson doing good job against Ohio State's receivers preventing downfield activity.

411
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: Clemson's receivers terrific receivers. T Higgins goes out didn't open.

412
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: They couldn't get open. They couldn't get going downfield either.

413
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: They relied on those two basically huge, huge plays from

414
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and travistn Etn on his screen and Lawrence

415
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: on the ground. And I thought Trevor Lawrence, by the way,

416
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: and we see a lot of these offenses that are

417
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: built around the threat of a quarterback run justin fields

418
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: didn't keep it as much. I think he had what

419
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: thirteen or fourteen carries ultimately, but that includes sacks. What

420
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was able to do on the ground, you know,

421
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: getting eight yards on first and ten, whatever it is,

422
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: it was a breath of fresh air sometimes when we

423
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: see sometimes quarterbacks tighten up or told not to run

424
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: it or choose not to keep it when they probably should.

425
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence just giving everything for this game, along with

426
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: justin fields. But to see what he was able to

427
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: do to propel this team, not just with his arm

428
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: but with his legs was damn wow. He's good. He's good.

429
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: So he's going to get another crack at a national championship.

430
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: That game will be played on what January BA BA.

431
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Thirteenth, something like that, a couple of weeks away.

432
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 2: We will preview that game in the next couple shows elsewhere.

433
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: If we could, Dan, could we travel back in time

434
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 2: for a second. But b it a bunch of bowl

435
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: games here that we want to leaf through give you

436
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: results and any instant feedback. We won't go into it

437
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: with the same level of depth, obviously, but let's start

438
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: with the bad boy Mowers Gaspa Ria Bowl, Dan Gasparella, Yeah,

439
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: UCF forty eight, Marshall twenty five, I don't have thoughts.

440
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: We said it looked like a mismatch. It turned out

441
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: it was a mismatch. Yeah, it was a really nice

442
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: performance from from Dylan Gabriel, something we've come to expect.

443
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: That were good on the ground. It was a complete

444
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: offensive performance. Marlon Williams was really nice through the air.

445
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: I rifled through this game very quickly, but I had

446
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: I think this was a forty one er. This was

447
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: my most confident outcome and it came true. So nice.

448
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Nice double digit cap including the postseason to a somewhat

449
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: impressive season, especially given the promise of Dylan Gabriel moving forward.

450
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: In the SOFI Hawaii Bowl Hawaii thirty eight BYU thirty four,

451
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 2: Cole MacDonald four touchdowns, nice showing on Christmas Eve had

452
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: one of those touchdown passes with about a minute left

453
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: to grab the win. So nice hometown triumph for the

454
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: Hawaii squad.

455
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: In Hawaii's fifteenth game of the season. Correct. Yeah, Nick

456
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: Rolovich has done a wonderful job in Honolulu with Hawaii.

457
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: Cole MacDonald continues to impress. A fun game, a fun

458
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: back and forth. Loved watching what I saw quickly.

459
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: All right, get ready for it. The Walkuns Independence Bowl.

460
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: Your final here was Louisiana Tech fourteen, Miami zero, Goosegg

461
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: neil Nada. Casey needed any confirmation that Miami just wanted

462
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 2: to get this whole thing over with. Dan.

463
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, give me the drive charts, so well, before I

464
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: go into the drive chart, just one, Danny nos was

465
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: summarily said, yeah, we're good, We're good, after your The

466
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: phrasing that has been used in a couple of different

467
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: places of it's sometimes mutually agreed to part ways, sometimes

468
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: will not be retained. But there was something like very

469
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: funny if I can use that word about being relieved

470
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: of his duties as if he's being asked to give

471
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: his badge in Detective Nos right right, please give us.

472
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: It was a nightmare, a nightmare and offense for Miami,

473
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: which is nothing really new, given how the Canes finished

474
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: out the year. And I guess a nice enough performance

475
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: on defense from Miami. Shaq Quorterman I think started his

476
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: like fifty second game for Miami. See a number of

477
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: the guys Greg Russeau had been very good for Miami

478
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: this year. You know, to give that sort of effort

479
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: in this game and to come away with nothing. So

480
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: I guess, good for Louisiana Tech. Good good for law Tech.

481
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: But back to the Enos thing. You'll remember that was

482
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: a big deal when you hired him. That was like, wow,

483
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: they got dan ENO's nice hire has not worked out,

484
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: to say, turns out Miami doesn't have Tua. No turns out.

485
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: So this is And I was watching the pregame stuff

486
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: going into this game because I'm not far from Miami.

487
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: This was what Miami was able to do on national

488
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: TV with I don't think any other games going against it.

489
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: You ready to tie? I'm ready? Please punt punt, punt, fumble,

490
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: punt punt, really fumble fumble, punt interception, punt interception and

491
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: mercifully and of season. Yeah, hey, law Tech got to

492
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: ten wins.

493
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: Good for them, law Tech got to ten wins, all right,

494
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: Quick Lane Bowl pit thirty four Eastern Michigan thirty.

495
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: Nobody puts Kenny Pickett in the corner? Did I mean

496
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan in the corner? For most of this game

497
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: they sort of did.

498
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 2: Pitt needed a twenty five yard touchdown pass with just

499
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 2: forty seven second left to grab the lead in that

500
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: sweet sweet Quick Lane Bowl Trophy, Dan But this was.

501
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: A little bit closer than I expected. Same. This was

502
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: such a strange season for Pitt by the way, yeah

503
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: they have. It's what Mauric's French is probably one of

504
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: the great underrated receivers in the country, and that's because

505
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: the pit offense wasn't that good this year. He was

506
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: the bright spot. As much as you think Kenny Pickett

507
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: is plucky because of what he did a couple of

508
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: years ago, Mauric's French is the story. And that's French

509
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: with two s. By the way, that is French with

510
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: two f's elsewhere in the Holiday Bowl. I didn't watch

511
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: any of this game. Oh I did.

512
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: IOWA forty nine USC twenty four, so I need I

513
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: need sort of your breakdown here, But it looks like

514
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 2: it was close for three quarters and then suddenly I

515
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 2: refreshed my app and I was like, wait what they

516
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: scored forty nine?

517
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, so iowa drop basically fifty two of those touchdowns.

518
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: One was on a long kick return from ism Amir

519
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: Smith Marsette. Another was on a pick six late in

520
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: this game, So Iowa I was offense only he scored

521
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: thirty five, which if you do, if you do some

522
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: sort of translation that's fifty points for Iowa. Thirty five

523
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: is the equivalent of fifty for the twenty nineteen Iowa offense.

524
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: They couldn't run the ball that well, and it didn't

525
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: matter as much as USC had struggled this year stopping

526
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: the run. The fact that you get out gunned by

527
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: Iowa when you have Michael Pittman, Tyler Vaughan's Aman, Ross

528
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: Saint Brown, Drake London, all of these guys in an

529
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: air raid with retaining Graham Harrell is Wild is wild

530
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: and USC relieved Clancy Pendergast and John Baxter, the defensive

531
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: coordinator and special teams coordinator, of their of their duties

532
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: shortly after this game. But Keton Slovas goes down in

533
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: the third quarter, which certainly affected things. Matt Fink was

534
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: largely ineffective. Luckily, the injury to Slovas, I think is

535
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: pretty minor. It's just a sprain. They were worried it

536
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: could have been something a lot worse. But the story

537
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: here was really im for for Iowa. Just with the

538
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, he made plays, he gets he

539
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown through the air and in the return

540
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: game and was the offensive force in this game. And

541
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: Nate Stanley. Pretty good game, but yeah, Iowa scoring thirty

542
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: five is against a ranked team, no less, is an accomplishment.

543
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 1: Great way to finish out the season for Iowa as

544
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: they get to their tenth it's a nine to three season.

545
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 1: I'm really big on your record is what you do

546
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: in twelve games, but really really strong finish to the

547
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: season for Iowa. Who they beat They be Minnesota near

548
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year, yep, yep, they beat are

549
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: fighting a lion i near the end of the year.

550
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: And to finish out beating USC on the West Coast,

551
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: nice feather in their cap.

552
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: In the Texas Bowl, the best eight and five team

553
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: in the country went down fourteen to nil early. I

554
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: had some an and M folks tweeting at me in despair.

555
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: But fear not, fear not the best eight and five

556
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: team in the country. They stayed the course, kept their composure,

557
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: kept Chewba Hubbard from killing them, which is essential in

558
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: a game like accomplishment, and they scored twenty four consecutive points.

559
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: He ended up winning, thank he Ford to twenty one.

560
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: That's Texas a and m over Oklahoma State in the

561
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: Texas Bowl.

562
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was all it was good bad. Kellen Moond

563
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: in this game struggled to throw the ball consistently against

564
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, but ran the ball really well. Had that

565
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: it was almost a seventy yard touchdown run. I believe

566
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: on a keeper and the defense for A and M

567
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: really stepped up after going down fourteen to nothing, really

568
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: tightened up against Oklahoma State, who starts Drew Brown. In

569
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: this game. Backup quarterback Spencer Sanders, I think saw some

570
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: time and think he had a couple carries, but really

571
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: didn't affect the passing game at all. And you know,

572
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: the youth of Texas A and m's defense impressive. I

573
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: just saw what jay Sean Corbin is transferring to Florida

574
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: State after having to sit out most of the year

575
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: with an injury. But yeah, A and M next year,

576
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what their schedule looks like. I don't

577
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: know who they have consecutively to end the season, but

578
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Kellen Mond should be starting once again. I don't know

579
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: what I think. I don't know what their ceiling is

580
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: in the SEC with Kellen Mond being counted on to

581
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: throw passes for four quarters. But a gutty effort from

582
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: Mond in A and M, as you know they beat

583
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: an old big twelve fo.

584
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: In the Military Bowl. UNC fifty five Temple thirteen Man

585
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: Carolina Carrie, Carolina just drilled him. Yeah, Rod Carry keeps

586
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: on carry and yeah Carolina was up twenty to six

587
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: at half, and somehow it only got worse from there.

588
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: A really nice game from Sam Howe, who we've loved

589
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: all year. Also two ridiculous touchdown catches for Daz Newsome.

590
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw those.

591
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: I did, indeed, one that he bobbled and somehow got

592
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: a foot down in the back corner of the end zone.

593
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: Another he caught in the back corner of the other

594
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: end zone with two guys draped all over him. Beautiful

595
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: throw from Sam Howe again, your final here, fifty five

596
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: to thirteen, A really nice capper to a surprise season

597
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: for UNC.

598
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: Didn't things get out of hand against Duke last year

599
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: for Temple in their bowl game as well, and that

600
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: kind of led to Daniel Jones getting drafted in the

601
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: top ten, among other things that may have helped. Yes.

602
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: Sure so, yes, things got out of hand pretty quickly

603
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, and it was a complete effort.

604
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't just North Carolina and Sam Howll on offense,

605
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: the defense had a really nice job stepping up. Granted

606
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: against a Temple offense. It's been pretty awful all season long,

607
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: but nice momentum for the Tar Hills going into the offseason.

608
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: Pinstripe Bowl we had Michigan State twenty seven, Wake Forest

609
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: twenty one. Nice game here for Brian Lawerkie and a

610
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: Watch Collins.

611
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they need it. I mean it's one of those like,

612
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: if Michigan State can get to twenty points, twenty five points,

613
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: there's a pretty good shot that they'll win the game.

614
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: But that's that enormous, enormous say if Wake Forest offense

615
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: just not the same without stage thurrat So. I didn't

616
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: watch much of this game. I scrubbed through it pretty quickly,

617
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: but nice to see Michigan State come back. They were

618
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: down at the half, I think twenty one to twenty

619
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: and hold on in the fourth quarter. I can't say

620
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: it's a great way to go into the off season,

621
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: but at least they didn't lose to Wake in New York.

622
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: I guess they did not lose to Wake. Okay.

623
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: We had in the Cheese It Bowl Air Force thirty one,

624
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: Wazoo twenty one, air Force threw for thirty yards and

625
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: a pick. They also rushed for three hundred and seventy

626
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: one yards and four touchdowns. Dan they had twenty seven

627
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: more minutes of possession in this one.

628
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: I think we both picked air Force, didn't we I

629
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: definitely did.

630
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: So.

631
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: They finished ten and two on the regular season, get

632
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: their eleventh against Wazoo. This was a rough watch, just

633
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: if you wanted entertainment, because Washington Washington State would throw

634
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well and then get inside, you know,

635
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: the five yard line and just struggle, struggle on short yardage.

636
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: You know, turnovers were an issue. I got and all

637
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: that aside. Washington State, with what three weeks to prepare

638
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: for air Force's option, what they put on the field

639
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: was nowhere near acceptable. What they what they they just

640
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: they looked like they were lining up wrong. They couldn't tackle,

641
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: they couldn't figure out how to get guys in the

642
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: area of the option. They just air Force ran all

643
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: over them. It seemly it was what Remsburg. Yeah, I

644
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: watched this after the fact that I just every time

645
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: I would look up, it was like Remsburg for eight,

646
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: Remsburg for six, Ramsburg for twelve. I just I don't

647
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: know how you finished. I don't know. I don't know

648
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: what Washington State was doing these past few weeks. I

649
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess yeah, well, Anthony Gordon, another good

650
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: game in a losing effort. Yeah, other than that, Other

651
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: than that fumble, I would say in the red zone, Yeah,

652
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: let's move to the Cotton Bowl if we could. Yeah.

653
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: Penn State fifty three, Memphis thirty nine. So Penn State

654
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: hired Kirk Shiraka to be their new offensive coordinator. They

655
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 2: hired him away from Minnesota. I think in light of

656
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 2: this game, job number one is going to be Sean Clifford.

657
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's good or not. I felt

658
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: better about him at the start of the year than

659
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 2: I think I did at the end of the year.

660
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: But you know, there's somebody behind him that'll push him

661
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: in the fall. Maybe Will Levis. I don't know.

662
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't know either. I don't know how

663
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 2: I feel about that. Clifford did not look very good

664
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: in this game at all. No, in the end, it

665
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 2: didn't matter because they rushed for almost four hundred yards,

666
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 2: pretty much ran it at will. They should have run

667
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: it more than they did. Journey Brown goes over two hundred,

668
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: Noah Kane, Ricky Slade, they all look pretty good, and

669
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 2: Brady White had a fantastic four hundred and fifty yard

670
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 2: game in his own was an effort. So I thought

671
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 2: a lot to be excited about regarding Penn State moving forward.

672
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: And this was a good Memphis team that I've been

673
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 2: all about all year. I think you picked Memphis to

674
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: win this game, didn't you.

675
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: I did pick Memphis to win this game. I don't know.

676
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I obviously regret it, but I figured that

677
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: with the momentum that they had, or with the confidence

678
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: they had even losing Mike Norval, with how they finished

679
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: out the year, and Penn State, you know, being the

680
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: team that has to face the G five school on

681
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: New Year's six game, it's not always a motivational moment

682
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: for teams. But look, I want to you sort of

683
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: mention you started off with some not so positive evaluations

684
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: of Sean Clifford, and you know Penn State's defense. I

685
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: suppose you know, via the Memphis offense and success that

686
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: they had through the air, Penn State did a good

687
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: job bending but not breaking. Whoever the hell Memphis kicker is?

688
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: Holy hell? How does Memphis have an amazing kicker? Good

689
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: for them. He's incredible. He hits what a couple of

690
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: forty to fifty yarders. I think he had what six

691
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: field goals? Yeah, no big deals, no big deal, no

692
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: big deal because Memphis only got in the end zone

693
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: three times, so that was ridiculous. I don't know if

694
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: the city of Memphis did something to Micah Parsons, but

695
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: he took it out on this team. Michael Parsons finishes

696
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: with fourteen tackles and I know you saw the moment

697
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: where Memphis tried and end around and he was just there. Yeah,

698
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: and he just ended the life of that play like

699
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: a very angry spurned assassin. Michael Parsons is an All

700
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: American linebacker. Michael Parsons is the best player on this

701
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: team right Yeah, and I can't I mean good asked

702
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: to play next year. I hope the defense is better

703
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: built next year in terms of the secondary. And they

704
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: had some definite lapses this season, and we saw it

705
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: against Minnesota, Indiana, Memphis, and the Penn State pass rush

706
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 1: seemed to come and go throughout the season. But whatever

707
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: the hell the city of Memphis did to Micah Parsons

708
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: please apologize because he just wreaked complete havoc and is

709
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: a total joy to watch. And yes, Penn State on

710
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: the ground, it was weird and we were texting about

711
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: this that Penn State could do whatever they wanted against

712
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: what seemed like a pretty undersized Memphis front who gave

713
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 1: the Penn State offensive line some fits in pass protection.

714
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: But my god, did Penn State push around Memphis up

715
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: front and Journey Brown Noah Kane, you were saying like, yeah,

716
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: they're getting twenty yards a rush, but they're not always running.

717
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't fully make sense. So hopefully the new offensive

718
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: coordinator puts his own stamp on things and helps develop

719
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: Sean Clifford as well. Nice performance from Penn State going

720
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: into the off season.

721
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: And finally, let's go to the Camping World Bowl. Notre

722
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: Dame thirty three, Iowa State nine. It will be very

723
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 2: interesting to see what Notre Dame does at offensive coordinator now,

724
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: because Tommy Reese called a nice game here and defensively,

725
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's defense pretty much shut down. Iowa State is

726
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: a good Iowa State team. I was at the beer

727
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: distributor grabbing a few adult libations.

728
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: Where's that right up the road here.

729
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: I was at the beer distributor grabbing a couple six

730
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: packs before the playoff games, and I was listening to

731
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: hooligans talk about Notre Dame and Iowa State.

732
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: Who's Iowa State?

733
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: And it's always at that moment, and I'm sure you've

734
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: experienced it where it's like I know more about Iowa

735
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: State than pretty much anyone on Earth right now, and

736
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: I could flex those muscles and make a total of

737
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 2: myself pretty legit. I could make a fool of myself

738
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: talking about Brock Party and of course Broctoberfest.

739
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I just bought my beer, went to my car,

740
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: and whatever, dude, whatever turns out they were right. It

741
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: turns out they were right. Nice twenty four point win

742
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: here for Notre Dame. Yes, I came away more than anything,

743
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: as well as what Tony Jones played, as well as

744
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool just was unguardable in this game. And it

745
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: was nice to Ian Book go downfield the Notre Dame defense.

746
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: This is not a bad Iowa State offense. No, it's

747
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: not a bad team. No, I would say, move the

748
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: ball against pretty much everybody. The Baylor game was pretty

749
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: awful for the Clones, but this was a it's a

750
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: legitimate offense Brock party and experienced quarterback, a playmaker. Breist

751
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: Hall came on midway through the season. I thought Deshantae

752
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: Jones was pretty impressive at times this year, and for

753
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: what Notre Dame was doing up front, forcing turnovers? What

754
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: it was Jeremiah owusu cora moa, how he pronounced it?

755
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: Got it? You got joker j Okay, just in the

756
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: face of Iowa State all day long, the forced fumbles,

757
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 1: it was just he was mister Havoc for Notre Dame.

758
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the future of Clark Lee holds,

759
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: but a great promotion that Brian Kelly made now a

760
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And I know it's Iowa State.

761
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: I know it's what the Camping World Bowl, but really

762
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: impressive way to finish out the year to maintain focus

763
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. I don't know what they host Clemson

764
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: next season. I believe yeah, they gonna go to that game. No, okay,

765
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: you got a podcast to do on staying here. This

766
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: was wall to wall irish, So nice way to finish

767
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: things out in front of a national TV audience. For sure.

768
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: So I think that's it. I think that covers pretty

769
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: much all the Bowl games that were can I also mention,

770
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: by the way, I tweeted this out, what Memphis was

771
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: wearing the all grays on a green field. Don't even

772
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: talk to me about those uniforms in my color blindness.

773
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't have that color blindness my eyes. I wear

774
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: glasses a lot of the times, but I don't have

775
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: that specific color issue. Whoever said, yeah, you can wear

776
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: a darkish gray against in State's darkish blue on a

777
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: green field should be relieved of their duties those because

778
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: those unwatchable game. Those Memphis uniforms, to me.

779
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: Were virtually invisible set against the backdrop of that green field.

780
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: Same it was. It was. It was a tough watch,

781
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: just visually. And Memphis does not wear those a lot.

782
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: They have you know, whites and blues, whatever one. They're

783
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: just heinous uniforms. I compared them to just awful gym class.

784
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: You know that heathered gray look awful awful uniform. No contrast.

785
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: There needs to be something like listen, I know people

786
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: have a lot leaders have a lot of strong opinions

787
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: about the Oregon uniforms. You can always see them. You

788
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: can always differentiate the Oregon players from the other teams players.

789
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: This was a visual travesty of a game to have

790
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 1: sometimes green. Though they do wear greens on a green field,

791
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: they don't do a lot green on green on the

792
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: green field. And I know it's happened, but they're bright enough,

793
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: they're like an apple green that it's contrasting enough, the

794
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: muted grays against the muted green of the field, and

795
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: just contrasts. I'm saying, players contrasting with each other, like

796
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: if Oregan's wearing green on green on a green field,

797
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: they're playing its team wearing white jerseys. I'm far from

798
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: a uniform traditionalist, but this can't happen anymore. Sorry, that

799
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: was my old man rant, and you felt the same.

800
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: You agreed. Oh, I couldn't see him. No, I couldn't

801
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: see anything. It was ridiculous. All right.

802
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: Well, we've got five other games here that we have

803
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: not previewed yet. We thought maybe we would rifle through

804
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: those very quickly. We don't have a bull barge sound

805
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 2: because it's more of a mini barge, he said, the

806
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 2: tug Bowl.

807
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: We comfortable with that. I am. Yeah, the sponsors won't

808
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: drop us for Tug Bowl. Okay, I don't think so.

809
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 2: Tickets smarter Birmingham Bowl. This one is on January second

810
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 2: on ESPN. It is ten and three Cincinnati. It is

811
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: six and six. Boston College Bearcats are a seven point favorite.

812
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 1: I am gonna go Sincy.

813
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 2: I'm twenty eight confidence points because BC's been a mess

814
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 2: all season. Then they fired their coach and they're also

815
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 2: going to be without their best player, AJ Dillon.

816
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. First of all, let's talk about very briefly Boston College,

817
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: who finishes the season losing two of three. What if

818
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: you had told me before the season, Yeah, Boston College

819
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: is going to beat Virginia Tech, Pitt, Syracuse and NC

820
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: State and fire Steve Dazio because the season was unacceptable.

821
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: That would be very confusing to me. Yeah, and probably

822
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 1: Boston College fans. But they finished the season losing two

823
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: of three. But did Pete beat Pitt at Pitt. The

824
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: offense was largely fine. You know, they lose a quarterback

825
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: halfway through the season in Anthony Brown, who was pretty good.

826
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: AJ Dillon was typical, really strong AJ Dillon defense turned woeful.

827
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: Max Richardson is a stud at linebacker. Some good linebacking

828
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: play but yeah, it was. It was a rough year

829
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: for Boston College overall. In Cincinnati, I think is a

830
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: good pick. They lose their last two, both to Memphis

831
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: after a repeating in the American Championship Game. They rip

832
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: off nine straight after that. Ohio State just abuse through

833
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: it out oh Man. But they finished the season defending

834
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: the run really well, a nice linebacking corp themselves. It's

835
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: just the offense was pretty lackluster. I still have Cincinnati

836
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: by about ten. Here the gift suite tie. Okay, you're

837
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: getting a coin, you're getting that History of the Bulls book,

838
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: you're getting a bucket hat. But if you're heading to

839
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: this game from Boston or Cincinnati and you're not used

840
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: to really strong food, which both those cities have good food.

841
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: The Highlands Bar and Grill is the James Beard Award

842
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: winning best restaurant in America. Okay, that's pretty good. Saws Barbecue,

843
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: I think they have white sauce, which is an Alabama thing.

844
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: Carrigan's Hattie Bees I think has a location if you

845
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: want some hot chicken in Birmingham. I've heard good things

846
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: about Jack Brown's for burgers, and of course our friends

847
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: over at Druid City Brewing. Yah, that's allers. They're in Tuscaloosa,

848
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: but I think you can find Druid City check their

849
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: website on tap at a number of places in Birmingham.

850
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: I want to make the move to their brewery in

851
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa not far away. Find where you can get some

852
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: Druid City on tap.

853
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 2: Shout out to our boys Dad at Druid City. Yeah,

854
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 2: huge for ballers. I chalk murals really a bucket hat though.

855
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: That's like the best we're doing with this.

856
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: That's what we're seeing here. Okay, see I don't maybe

857
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: at the gift sweet Rules and there's a bunch of

858
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: cool stuff in there. Tax Slayer Gator Bowl.

859
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 2: Also on the second, also on ESPN, it is Tennessee

860
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,479
Speaker 2: at seven and five. It is Indiana at eight and four.

861
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 2: Tennessee is a two point favorite here. So I sort

862
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 2: of boxed myself in and I'm stuck putting twenty five

863
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: confidence points on this game, which.

864
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 1: Was like entirely not by choice.

865
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm not very confident, but twenty five is what it's

866
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 2: going to be, you know, Like both these teams are

867
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: good stories for different reasons. Indiana's I think been pretty

868
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: decent all year. There are four losses were to Ohio State,

869
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: Michigan State, Penn State, and Michigan. The problem I have

870
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 2: with them is teams they beat, and it's really tough

871
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 2: to figure out how they compare it to Tennessee, because sure,

872
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 2: the best team they be. Honestly, it's either Nebraska or Purdue.

873
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: Right, Well, Tennessee beating the heavyweights that they beat makes

874
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: this an easy choice then right oh wait, now now

875
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm seeing here they did not They beat Kentucky. Yeah, Kentucky.

876
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we have a soft spot for Lin Boden

877
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: in Kentucky. But yeah, so it's not terribly different.

878
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 2: I'm I'm going to switch my pick to Tennessee. I've

879
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 2: gone back and forth thousand times. Here I'm gonna go Tennessee.

880
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 2: I'm jumping aboard your tennis sance winners of five straight

881
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 2: to end the year, definitely some good momentum down the stretch.

882
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: I think a good job in the coaching department down

883
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 2: the stretch as well, So I'll go Tennessee. I think

884
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 2: close game may be a fun one to watch, but

885
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 2: twenty five on Tennessee, I guess yeah.

886
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: More specifically, a nice improvement job from Jarrett Garantano. The

887
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: back half of the season, the defense for Tennessee did

888
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: show some fight, especially in preventing bigger plays. Darryl Taylor

889
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: definitely worth watching for Tennessee as the Balls win their

890
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: final five. It should be noted that Juwan Jennings, who

891
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: is a stud at receiver, is suspended for the first

892
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: half of this game for stomping a Vanderbilt player's face

893
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: on return. Which, if you're gonna be associated with Tennessee

894
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: and you're gonna do something horrible, just after Albert Haynsworth,

895
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: do not stop somebody's face. Aside from just you shouldn't

896
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: do that in the first place. Indiana, I think you're right.

897
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they lose their final two of three, but

898
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: they did throw the ball. Well, I think I'm actually

899
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Hoosiers here by five it out

900
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: with your Hoosiers. Not super high confidence, but in the teens.

901
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: The gift suite of the tax Layer Bowl, which by

902
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 1: the way, tax software avoided at all costs. That's another show.

903
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: Don't buy TurboTax, don't give into it money. The gift

904
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: suite includes, according to this site, I'm looking at noise

905
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: canceling headphones and a Bluetooth speaker inside a personalized box.

906
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: I like that Maui Jim sunglass is with fitting you get,

907
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: I guess custom fitted sunglasses. I'm on board with that

908
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: fossil watch backpack and that bowl book. And if you

909
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: are heading to Schames of Jacksonville for good things about

910
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: Maple Street, for biscuits, there's a new Cuban place called

911
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty eight which piqued my interest. And V pizza

912
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: the letter V Pizza so and just don't get yourself

913
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: in trouble in Jacksonville seems easy to do.

914
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 2: The famous Idaho Potato Bowl h January third. Also ESPN,

915
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 2: we got Ohio at six and six, We've got Nevada

916
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: at seven and five. Ohio is seven and a half

917
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: point favorite. So, for what it's worth, of all the

918
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 2: bowl games, my numbers claimed that this was one of

919
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 2: the biggest mismatches.

920
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so have that down too. Who am I to

921
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: doubt the metrics? Who am I in general?

922
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 2: But let's go Ohio for twenty six confidence points here the.

923
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 1: Ohio at six and six building up the resume against

924
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: some truly awful teams. The bottom of the mac is horrendous.

925
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: This year. A nice offense. It feels like Nathan Rourke

926
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: has been there forever a nice running backfield in general

927
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: for the Bobcats. The defense for Ohio is the really

928
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: awful thing for them in Nevada. Strange year. They finished

929
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: their their season winning three of four, including beating San

930
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: Diego State. Somehow, their offense and their defense are both

931
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I guess they're okay against the run, which

932
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: is important against Ohio. Dom Peterson is worth watching, an

933
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: All Mountain West talent at defensive end. I have Ohio

934
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: here by double digits because bad Nevada is truly, truly horrible.

935
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: The gift suite includes a ful Achiever computer backpack, a

936
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: Herschel's Supply Company hit pack, which I think is a

937
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: fancy way of saying fanny pack, a beanie, and a coin.

938
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 1: And if you find yourself in Boise, it will probably

939
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: be cold. I've spent some time in Boise. Good friend

940
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: of mine is from there and lives there. Goldiees for breakfast,

941
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: for sure. There's a gastro pub called Bitter Sweet Bitter Creek.

942
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I've been to the Westside driving for an

943
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: ice cream potato in which they carve a or fashion

944
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: a chunk of ice cream that looks like the inards

945
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: of a potato and then rub it in cocoa to

946
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: make it look like a skin. Pretty good, and burger

947
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: belly for burgers. Can you please recite the name of

948
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: that backpack again? Fool th h L Ladies and gentlemen.

949
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 1: We finally got him on one. What is it? It's Toully?

950
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: Is it really? It is Toully? Yes, we finally got

951
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,280
Speaker 1: a long last Osama Dan Lawden. We got him.

952
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 2: Dan's Globe Tomato Final two, Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.

953
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: They better be get a missile in this game or

954
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: something cool. Please do not give football players missiles.

955
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 2: January fourth, ESPN two Lane at six and six, Southern

956
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 2: Miss at seven and five, Tulane touchdown.

957
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: It's Thu Lane, shut up, we got.

958
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 2: Tulane lost their last three. Southern miss lost their last two.

959
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 2: The best team that either of these guys beat was Army.

960
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,439
Speaker 2: Statistically about the same, though Tulane's got a much better

961
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:16,240
Speaker 2: offense here.

962
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

963
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bite my lip and say TWU Lane for

964
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 2: oh gosh, I have twenty seven points on this Yeah,

965
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: I mean it's too late at this point, so we'll

966
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 2: just go tu lane twenty seven.

967
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 1: What the hell? This game should be very entertaining because

968
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: both of these defenses give up a ton of big plays,

969
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: Southern Miss through the air and Tulane just in general,

970
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: it was a somewhat disappointing year. I think we had

971
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: some high hopes for Tulane as one of the better

972
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: G five defense, especially with what they brought back up front.

973
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: They did run the hell out of the ball, like

974
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned, and Southern Miss threw it pretty well. They

975
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: couldn't run, so you're getting a good contrast of styles here.

976
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 1: I think they should be entertaining. Fort Worth heard good things.

977
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: Haven't spent a ton of time there. I'll go in

978
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: food in a second. But the gift suite includes, but

979
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,960

Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary coin, college football anniversary, a beanie, a neck

00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: pillow that's nice, football nine line apparel, patriotic athletic where Okay,

982
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 1: fort Worth I have been yelled at before for writing

983
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: off Fort Worth as a food town. And you know

984
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: what I've done some more investigate and asked some questions

985
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: of friends who spent time there. There's a new place

986
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: for biscuits called hot Box, which looks very good. I

987
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 1: think it's called I'm him for barbecue. I maybe heem heim.

988
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I apologize for miss pronuncia. See, I'm

989
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: in your head now, I am in here, now you

990
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: are well. I'm gonna get this one right. Shinjuku Station

991
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: for all things Japanese, especially Ramen, looks bonkers amazing. Who

992
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: do you pick here again? I'm going I didn't say

993
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: my pick. I'm going with two lane too little digits here. Yeah.

994
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 2: And finally, on January the sixth, it is the Lending

995
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 2: Tree Bowl on ESPN. The Louisiana Raging Cajun's at ten

996
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 2: and three, the Miami Ohio Ridhawks at eight and five.

997
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: Louisiana by Guy Chuck Martin.

998
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Louisiana is a fourteen point favorite. It's a big number,

999
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 2: and I think that's because the Raging Cagen's actually pretty good.

1000
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 2: They had a really good season ten and three. Their

1001
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: only three losses came against Mississippi State and app State twice.

1002
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 2: They've got a really efficient rushing attack, one of the

1003
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 2: best in the country. They've got a forty year old

1004
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 2: up and comer in Billy Napier as their head football coach.

1005
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: He's been rumored for big jobs. Eventually he's going to

1006
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: get one of them, just not yet. Miami won the

1007
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 2: MAC over Central Michigan. But for what it's worth, you know,

1008
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 2: our friend Bill Connolly over at ESPN now, she tracks

1009
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 2: something called second order wins, which basically what it tells

1010
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 2: you is whether a.

1011
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,479
Speaker 1: Team is more lucky than good.

1012
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 2: Right, and by that measure, Miami's a four win team.

1013
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: So let's go raging.

1014
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 2: Cagen's here to the tune of thirty two confident this points, Yeah,

1015
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 2: I have them by about seventeen points here and yeah, Louisiana.

1016
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 2: They win six of their final seven. They do lose

1017
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 2: to app State in the Sun Bolts Championship game. They

1018
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 2: ran the hell out of the ball. Levi Lewis at quarterback.

1019
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,479
Speaker 2: A very fun watch if you watch that Sun Belt

1020
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 2: Championship game. Their defense not great, but they were okay

1021
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: against the pass and it's stopping big plays. Miami's offense,

1022
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 2: Miami Ohio's offense, I guess, really any Miami's offense mostly dreadful.

1023
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 2: The pass defense was pretty good. Cameron Butler a very

1024
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 2: fun watch for Miami up front, But yeah, I have

1025
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 2: Louisiana comfortably. This is the lending Tree Bowl, and lending

1026
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 2: Tree I'm not going to recommend that service. That doesn't

1027
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 2: seem like a good thing to do. My sponsor, not

1028
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 2: a sponsor, a sponsor.

1029
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: The gift suite includes personalized noise canceling headphones and a

1030
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: charging bank, So that's solid. Thanks lending Tree for that

1031
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: fossil watch and a Herschel Supply Company backpack. I think

1032
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: this is a very solid gift package, especially if there's

1033
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: more in that gift suite. If you find yourself in

1034

00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: Southern strong options in mobile.

1038
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, Well, I think we covered a lot

1039
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: of ground in this show.

1040
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: I would agree.

1041
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 2: I think we covered a lot of ground in this show.

1042
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 2: So what you have to look forward to in the

1043
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 2: coming days and weeks. We obviously have a bunch of

1044
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 2: Bowl games that we will recap after we have results

1045
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 2: that we can read. We do have to preview the

1046
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 2: National Championship game. There is some just general college football

1047
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 2: news which we will get to and cover as soon

1048
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,919
Speaker 2: as we can. And then, of course there's the big game,

1049
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 2: which I believe. Did we firm up the plans? Are

1050
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 2: we going to be watching this together?

1051
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: We are going to be watching this together.

1052
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: We're going to be watching the championship game together and

1053
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 2: then recapping the game on Tuesday morning, will drop our

1054
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 2: normal Tuesday morning recap of the National Championship before we effectively.

1055
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: Head to the real, real offseason. When was the last

1056
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: in person show we did together. It would probably be

1057
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: back in August when we were in DC. Yeah, well,

1058
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's a live show, I'm saying, like the

1059
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: last regular, not fantasy thing show.

1060
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 2: I guess maybe when we went to North Dakota, when

1061
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 2: we went to North like three year ago.

1062
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even that's sort of like not a regular show,

1063
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: not an ordinary show. We were recapping our visit there.

1064
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: So it's been a while. It might have been pre

1065
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: season twenty eighteen in my apartment, but yes, all baby

1066
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: came along, so we didn't go to the National Championship Game,

1067
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: not going to New Orleans this year because of some obligations. Yeah,

1068
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 1: it could have been that time I lost my voice.

1069
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember you and Bill came to my

1070
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: apartment when we did nineties Internet things right, Yes, yes,

1071
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,399
Speaker 1: you were at my apartment. So looking forward to doing

1072
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: these shows. We'll do a two's cruise to finish out

1073
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: the season and we'll recap everything. Some news real quick. Tie,

1074
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 1: you don't need to play any sounds I did see.

1075
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: Pat Fitzgerald turned down an interview request from the Carolina

1076
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: Panthers at Northwestern mentioned USC firing defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast

1077
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: and special teams coordinator John Baxter. Baxter a particularly noted recruiter.

1078
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt has fired each of their offensive and defensive coordinators.

1079
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: Mike Norvell has been making some higher Steve Greatwood to

1080
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: me legendary offensive line coach. He spent much of his

1081
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: career at Oregon. He's retiring after I think three seasons

1082
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: at cal Otherwise, I mean we mentioned the dan Enos

1083
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: thing at Miami. He is out, so Miami will be looking.

1084
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: You mentioned Kirk Shirakairaka Shiraka, who did a terrific job

1085
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: with Minnesota and before that Western Michigan with PJ. Fleck.

1086
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: He is in at Penn State as Ricky Ronnie leaves

1087
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: to take a head coaching job. You know we've talked

1088
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: about Jeff Scott, so he hires Charlie Weis junior Okay

1089
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: from fau as Lane Kiffin leaves to be the offensive

1090
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: coordinator and quarterbacks coach with some it appears some promise.

1091
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: Kendall Briles is at Arkansas. So two I think seemingly

1092
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: pretty strong coordinators in Arkansas for Sam Pittman in Kendall

1093
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: Briles and Barry Otom. Marcus Arroyo hired away Casey Dunn

1094
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma State. Casey done the longtime receivers coach and

1095
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: co offensive coordinator. If you look at the receivers who

1096
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: have come through Oklahoma State during his time there, you

1097
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: can't help but come away impressed. He will be the

1098
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator at UNLV from Marcus Arroyo. Otherwise, I

1099
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: don't know if there's anything. I mean, Mike, You're sick.

1100
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: Appears to be the guy to take over at offensive

1101
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: coordinators Texas now that Ohio State's season is over. That

1102
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: looks like it's all but official. Chris ash is obviously

1103
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: official at defensive coordinator for Texas. I think that's all

1104
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: I have right now we've had some We'll do more

1105
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: draft stuff as we get close to that, and mentioned

1106
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: all the guys that are leaving early and not playing

1107
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: in bowl games. I think we've hit a lot of

1108
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: those already. But I think that's the big stuff here.

1109
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: And if I can, and I really really trust me,

1110
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: believe me, I don't mean to tag this on as

1111
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: like a and also one more thing, but I think

1112
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: it would be unfair not to and sort of didn't

1113
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: feel right not to discuss it. We weren't friends with

1114
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: ed Aschoff. We didn't know him all that well. I

1115
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: think we may have met him a couple times at

1116
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: national championships and so forth. There was something about his

1117
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: passing tie that was just devastating to me. The fact,

1118
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: the fact that I mean to calm a blogger isn't

1119
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: necessarily he was at ESPN. He was a reporter. I mean,

1120
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: most recently he was national reporter for ESPN, but he

1121
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: was He helped to run the old SEC blog that

1122
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: when ESPN had the Conference blogs. Thirty four years old

1123
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: on his birthday, engaged to be married in the spring,

1124
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: and just a really out of nowhere health situation. He

1125
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: had pneumonia that developed into HLH and I don't know

1126
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: what it is. I just I feel like we're part

1127
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: of this digital college football, weird media world and it

1128
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: hit me, and I just I just want to say

1129
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: everybody seems to have loved him that had had come

1130
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: across him, you see, like all the reporters that were

1131
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: friends with them wearing the lapel flowers at bowl games

1132
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: to honor him and his style. But everybody could not

1133
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: help but say extraordinarily nice things about him. And so

1134
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: in a very strange way, I feel like in this world,

1135
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: we lost somebody that was that was pretty significant. So

1136
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: thoughts out to everybody that was affected and friends with

1137
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: him and close to him, and man, I just it

1138
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: was it was pretty heartbreaking stuff the way it all happened.

1139
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: So suddenly a.

1140
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 2: Shock to see that news on Christmas Eve, to say

1141
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 2: the least. And like you said, I mean, we haven't

1142
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 2: had it on the show, but to be part of

1143
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 2: the college football media sphere in any sense, you kind

1144
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 2: of get familiar with these names and Twitter handles and

1145
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 2: however you interact with people in this day and age,

1146
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 2: and yeah, that was that was incredibly sad news. Shocking

1147
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 2: news to say the least, and again. You know, we

1148
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 2: hate to have shows with bad news, but two bits

1149
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 2: of it here in this show. First thoughts obviously go

01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 2: Offs and all friends of ADS because that's a tough

1152
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 2: one to say the least. So yeah, with that being said,
