Well, it's 4 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: popping up because, as you can hear there, we had 5 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: to get a little slap on the wrist. We just 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: went too long and so we couldn't fit all the 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: content that we actually recorded into Wednesday's podcast. So, as 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: I said on Thursday night's Late Kick Live on the 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: twenty four to seven Sports YouTube channel, we got to 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: roll it over.

Josh, what, 33 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: in your opinion is the best rivalry in college football? 34 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,279 Speaker 1: I'm partial to Army versus Navy. Yeah, I love Army Navy. 35 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: Army Navy I set in a different classification. Army Navy 36 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: is never going to decide a college football playoff spot. 37 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: Army Navy is big for very unique reasons onto anything else, 38 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: and I love it. It is appointment viewing for me. 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: I've never been to the game. I want to try 40 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: and change that this year. I've said that the last 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: three years, so we'll see how that turns out this year. 42 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: Outside of that, Michigan Ohio State is the big one 43 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: for me. Now, this is very, very controversial where I'm from, 44 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: because I've been to every Iron Bowl since twenty thirteen, 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: I want to say in a media capacity, and there's 46 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: no environment like that. But at the same time, when 47 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: you say best, what matters the most, what matters the 48 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: most is when you put two national brand names on 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: the field together and you mix in a healthy dose 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: of hatred. Now you do have that in Michigan Ohio State. 51 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: The reason I've always placed that game above Bama Auburn 52 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: the Iron Bowl on the list of greatest rivalry games 53 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: is because in the Iron Bowl you have one national 54 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: brand and one regional brand, whereas Michigan Ohio State are 55 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: both national brands. And that's really all it comes down to. 56 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: Michigan Ohio State matters to more people than Alabama versus Auburn, does. 57 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that's that controversial, But trust me, 58 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: I grew up in the Deep South. So I say 59 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: that and they say, what you're telling me, it's more rabbit. 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: I didn't say it was more rabbit. I didn't say 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: it was more fierce. Both of these rivalries are rabbid fears. 62 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: The Iron Bowl setting is unique to anything in college football, 63 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: amazing if you haven't lived really in that, you don't 64 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: understand it. They're right when they say that they're absolutely 65 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: dead on the money. But when you say biggest or 66 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: you say best, well, then that brings some more qualifiers in. 67 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: That's why I've always leaned to Michigan, Ohio State. Jared 68 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: on YouTube, You've said before there's a difference between skill 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: and talent. What do you define as each of those? 70 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: And number two, how did you decide the name late Kick? 71 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: That's Jared on YouTube. Late Kick was just kind of 72 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: I was sitting around and it came to me. I 73 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: think I may have been thinking about a logo and 74 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: thinking about a name, and I wanted a night time feel. 75 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: I knew I wanted to do the show at night, 76 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: and I wanted to brand it as a night show, 77 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: and so I thought about shows that are at night. 78 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: A lot of the like the late night shows, and 79 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: so you got the Late Show, and I thought, well, 80 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: how about late Kick. It also is synonymous with how 81 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: you term the games that kick off at night. You 82 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: got the early kickoff, the mid afternoon kickoff, and then 83 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: you got the late kickoff. So I just called the 84 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: show the Late Kick. It was kind of a play 85 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: on a couple of different a couple of different things. There. 86 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: As for skill and talent, well, skill is like a 87 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: chunk of plato. You can have skill all day long. 88 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: Well no, when we back up, Talent is like the 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: chunk of playto. You can have talent just like I 90 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: can pour a lump of Plato out of its container, 91 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: probably lick it. I know you, guys, I know you 92 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: love that smell, and I know you may love the taste. 93 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: None of us have ever tasted plato in front of anyone, 94 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: but pretty much every one of us has tasted plato 95 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: at some point. I feel the same about the smell 96 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: of gasoline. But I'm moving on now. So the chunk 97 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: of plato is talent. How you mold it, that's the skill. 98 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: You got a lot of talent, man, Folks can get talent, 99 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: it's the skill that's what it hopefully transitions into. But 100 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: there is a lot of design in turning talent into skill. 101 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: That's why it's not good enough to just recruit. It's 102 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: imperative that you recruit the talent, just like it's imperative 103 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: you buy the playto. Like I can't make a little 104 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: dinosaur unless you give me the chunk of Plato. However, 105 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: just give me the chunk of Plato doesn't guarantee that 106 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to make the little Blue Bronosaurus. 107 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: I challenge you to find me a better description of 108 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: talent versus skill than one that includes the word bronosaurus 109 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: and admissions of tasting Plato TONI feel free to clip 110 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: that one, Luke on YouTube. What's your take on LSU 111 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: commit Garrett Nussmeyer. This is the quarterback comitment there about 112 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: a month or so ago. I don't know what is 113 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: time these days. Anyway, recently, semi recently he committed. He 114 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: is a good talent, a good mental makeup, good tools, 115 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: a good improviser. You know, ever since Joe Burrow was there, 116 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: everyone wants a quarterback who can improvise, make plays on 117 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: the run, make plays when everything breaks down, and he's 118 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: got those traits. The only concern I would have about 119 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: nus Meyer is in a size standpoint. I wonder about 120 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: his frame, Like, is he filled out as much as 121 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: he's going to fill out. This is not a guy 122 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: who's going to three years into his college career be 123 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: six three, two thirty. This is not one of those 124 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: guys this is a guy who's going to struggle to 125 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: stay over two five two hundred and two o five. 126 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: Now you can win like that. You don't have to 127 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: be built like a you know, a mac truck, but 128 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: it helps. And so that's kind of if you were 129 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: to ask a concern, that's the main concern I have. 130 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: He's a really good talent, though, make no mistake about that. 131 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: Doug on Twitter, what do you think happened in the 132 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: Longhorns backfield this year at running back? You got Ingram, 133 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: you got Rashawn Johnson, b Jhon Robinson coming in, lots 134 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: of options and avenues. Yeah, Keante Ingram. The only thing 135 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: I worry about with him is health and consistency. I mean, 136 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: if you can guarantee me a healthy season, then I 137 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: feel fine with him. Those three. If you've got those 138 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: three b Jhon Robinson, there's no reason not to think 139 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: he's going to be a stud. That's one of the 140 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: best running back stables in the country, and it greatly 141 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: helps Sam Elligher, who feels like he's entering his ninth 142 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: year at quarterback at Texas. But here's what I love 143 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: about him. They are excellent receivers. They're really good we're 144 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: gonna talk about LSU's backs in a little while. And 145 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: you know a guy like John Emery, who was you know, 146 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: all world. Everyone thought he was gonna take the backfield 147 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: by storm, including me as a true freshman at LSU. 148 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: He didn't. He struggled in pass Pro and he struggled 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: receiving out of the backfield. Well that's not something that 150 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: you say about the Texas backs. Help maybe, but they 151 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: are very good receivers, and that adds a different element, 152 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: and it gives them an element that really not a 153 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: lot of other programs in that conference have, along with 154 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: the requisite physicality and ability to pick up Pass Pro two. 155 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: Some are We're going international here. Love the show. I've 156 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: subscribed to the pod and the YouTube live all the 157 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: way from New Zealand. Thank you. Some more. Question USC 158 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: has their hashtag take Back the West and looks to 159 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: be trending to pick up Corey Forman. This question was 160 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, by the way, I missed it, 161 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: So that's a slap on the wrist for me. Corey 162 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: Foreman though at USC is still in the mix. Georgia LSU. 163 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: We'll see how that turns out. If Larry Scott. Keep 164 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: in mind, this is a question about USC. If Larry 165 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: Scott doesn't screw up again, is Southern Cal the best 166 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: bet to win a title in the Pac twelve or 167 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: is it Oregon with Crystaball or does Washington have a 168 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: better chance. Larry Scott is not the head coach at 169 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: Southern Cal. He is the commissioner of the Pac twelve. 170 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: The reason I laugh is because if you stub your 171 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: toe on a Pack twelve campus out there, Larry Scott 172 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: is to blame. Like if you go outside and you're 173 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: trying to get some sun tomorrow on the campus of 174 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: UCLA and it's overcast, it's Larry Scott's fault. And I 175 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: know why, I know what the joke is, and there 176 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: is some truth behind it, but I always I just 177 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: find it funny, Like this is a question about how 178 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: Southern Col's gonna do this year, and Samorrow flat out 179 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: says if Larry Scott doesn't screw it up. So let's 180 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: just say Larry Scott does not screw up USC football 181 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: this year. No, No, I don't think they're the favorite. 182 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: Just got serious in a hurry. I don't think they're 183 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: the favorite, certainly not outside of the Roman possibility, and 184 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: they have star potential at quarterback. And what have we 185 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: learned recently in college football? Don't you ever count out anyone. 186 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's if it's a recent but 187 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: don't count out anyone who has that potential. Keaton Slopus 188 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: has that potential. What certainty is there around Southern cal 189 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: You guys know better than I do. You know your 190 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: program better than I do? What kind of footing does 191 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: it feel like the program's on? Hey, I've been impressed 192 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: after the woeful job they did on the recruiting trail 193 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: last year and the kind of the way that the 194 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: legs felt like they had been cut out from under 195 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: Clay Helton even keeping his job. They've got a good 196 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: recruiting class they're putting together this cycle. They're top ten 197 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: right now as a matter of fact in the twenty 198 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: four to seven Sports team ranking. So that's impressive. But 199 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: if I got to lean away in the Pac twelve 200 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: right now, I lean Oregon now, having said that it's 201 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: going to be a very very unpredictable conference this year 202 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: because Oregon may have many things, they're not established at quarterback, 203 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: and so I never in any conference endorse a team 204 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly where I've got somewhat of a question market quarterback, 205 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: so certainly son of cala is in that mix. Jason 206 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: on Twitter, you've made it clear on your stance about 207 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: expanding the college football playoff, and what he means is 208 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: I do not support expansion. However, it's still likely to happen. 209 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: I agree with that, Jason. I don't have to like it, 210 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: but I agree with it. Jason continues, what would the 211 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: ideal way to do it be? Also, a lot of 212 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: people complain about the bowl games not meaning anything anymore. 213 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: Is there a way to fix that? Like having all 214 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: Power five conference champs receive auto bids to bowl games 215 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: like Pac twelve versus Big ten in the Rose Bowl, 216 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: then picking the best four teams for a playoff not 217 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: using bulls. What are your thoughts? Well, my thoughts, like 218 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: you said, are don't expand. And then my thoughts if 219 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: we expand are no auto bids for playoff teams. And 220 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: basically that means you're not guaranteed the spot just because 221 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: you win your conference. You will never ever ever get 222 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: me to agree to that. However, here's what I question 223 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: you said, Jason. A lot of people say this, you 224 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: just kind of vocalized it for them for I don't 225 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: know if they're the majority or not, but a lot 226 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: of people do say you're right that bowl games don't 227 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: mean anything. Well, they do to me, and they do 228 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: to a lot of people, judging by TV numbers like 229 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: Alabama Michigan. I was at that game in January New 230 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: Year's Day Citrus Bowl. It's not a New Year six game, 231 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: it's not a playoff game. The TV number on that 232 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: game was insane. It seems a lot of people cared 233 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: about it, and there were a lot of guys who 234 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: had nothing to gain supposedly from playing in the game, 235 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: who played in it. So who does the game not 236 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: mean anything to? I just always just because something gets 237 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: repeated a lot, I don't know if it's always true. 238 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: Now it may be that bowl games mean less in 239 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: relation to what they used to mean. But I don't 240 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: think that you can add a playoff and keep the 241 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: same significance in the bowls. You got to You can't 242 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: just keep and get. You got to give to get. 243 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes that the nature of the world. It's the nature 244 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: of the universe, and so why should college football be 245 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: any different? So I think probably my ideal setup is 246 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: here's one fairly, I guess I would call it a 247 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: radical idea that I've heard. I don't know how this 248 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: would work, so don't ask me to think it through 249 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: to a logical conclusion. But the way to keep the 250 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: playoff and also maintain the integrity of the bowl structure 251 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: has been keep the regular season and then play the 252 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: bowl season out, and then select the playoff using the 253 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: bowl season as part of the metrics that you use 254 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: to determine the playoff field. I know you just came 255 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: up with forty seven questions. I've got them too, But 256 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: if you can figure that out hypothetically, that maintains the 257 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: sanctity of your bowl season before we ever know who's 258 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: going to make the playoff. So again, don't ask me 259 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: to go any further into details. Not my idea. Hunter. 260 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: How would you rank the SEC football uniforms. I'm not 261 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: going one through fourteen because that'll just make people mad. 262 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to go one through three. This is not scientific. 263 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: I like Alabama for the same reason I like Penn State. 264 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: I like Tennessee for the same reason I like Penn State. 265 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: I like Georgia for the same reason I like Penn State. 266 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: They look the same today as they did in sixteen 267 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: thirty two. And that's what I like about college football, 268 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: at least when it comes to uniforms. Let me be 269 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: very clear, at least when it comes to uniforms. Some 270 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: other things I'm okay with change, but uniforms keep them 271 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: the same. Mike on Twitter, I had a question about 272 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: Ohio State. I hope you can answer in one of 273 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: your future VIDs or podcasts. Well, you come to the 274 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: right place, Mike. It seems few teams have as much 275 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: hype surrounding them heading into twenty twenty as Ohio State, 276 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: understandably so following a great twenty nineteen. But if we 277 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: somehow fall short of expectation this year, what do you 278 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: expect the downfall to be? What weaknesses or flaw do 279 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: you see? Well, Mike, you don't have to have weaknesses 280 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: or flaws to not win a national championship. I don't 281 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: think Ohio State had many flaws last year, do you, 282 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: I just think they it's the margins are so thin 283 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: when you get into the playoff, you could be a really, 284 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: really good team and lose. If you're asking me, maybe 285 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: what areas Certainly, running back depth comes to mind, JK. 286 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: Dobbins was a phenomenal player for them, masteratigue. You got 287 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: the injury there, and so Trey Sermon transfers in from Oklahoma. 288 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: Behind him, there aren't many proven names. Maybe defense takes 289 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: a step back losing guys like Chase Young and Okudah, 290 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: but they've got tons of guys to step in now. 291 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: Having a ton of names versus having proven production we 292 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: all know is two separate things. So you lose you know, 293 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: a coaching presence on the defensive side too, but you 294 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: add one that you really feel good about. We'll see. 295 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you have to have a weakness to 296 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: not win a national championship. I mean maybe you're a 297 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: strong team and another strong team beat you. Daniel on Twitter? 298 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: Who do you think will be LSU's front runner for 299 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: the running backs this year? Chris Curry is the most 300 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: experienced of this group. Remember he started the Peach Bowl 301 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: over Edwards Hilaire and it kind of raised an eyebrow 302 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: or two, but it really didn't because you had injury 303 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: concerns there. Now, Tyree and Davis Price is the guy 304 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: with the most production and the guy I think is 305 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: most impressive to see run because He's terrifying, and John 306 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: Emery is the most talented now. Emory mentioned it a 307 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: few minutes ago, struggled in pass pro last year, not 308 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: the best receiver out of the backfield. He was the 309 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: guy I thought was going to take over as a 310 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: true freshman, and he didn't. Well, LSU fans know this. 311 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if nationally you guys know he was 312 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: blind in one eye. Essentially, he was legally blind in 313 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: one eye. So they get him Lasik surgery in the 314 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: off season. Now, people at LSU say that this has 315 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: been a night and day difference. And I mean, I 316 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: listen if I turn on the TV and all of 317 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: a sudden, John Emery is running for one seventy a 318 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: game and adding on another forty five receiving yards per game. 319 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: Lasik surgery is something that maybe even I'll pull the 320 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: trigger on. I have avoided a Lasik surgery. I have 321 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: terrible vision. I am borderline legally blind in each eye. 322 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: Thank goodness for contacts. Like what if I lived in 323 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: thirteen eighty what would I do? I don't know. I 324 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: think about that stuff way too often, so I have 325 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: not gotten Lasik. Here is my general thinking on Lasik 326 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: when it comes to something as important as your eyesight. 327 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: I want to give corrective surgeries at least thirty years. 328 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: Just get them thirty years, get all the kicks worked out, 329 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: and then I'll get it. Because I don't have a 330 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: problem right now. I can put contact lenses in in 331 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: probably borderline Guinness World Record amounts of time. I can 332 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: take them in put them out with one finger, so 333 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: it's not a hindrance to my lifestyle. I don't feel them, 334 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't care. But if I want to save like 335 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: a combined forty nine seconds per day, yeah, Lasik. Probably 336 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: eventually we'll see. Let's move on Metcalf twelve on the 337 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: YouTube channel. Who do you think will be the best 338 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver in college football in twenty twenty? The answer 339 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: is Jalen Wattle at Alabama. That's my answer there. I 340 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: think that Wattle may be the best college football player 341 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Having said that, the quarterback position being 342 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: what it is, maybe I need to say the best 343 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: non quarterback in college football in twenty twenty. I think 344 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: it'll be Jalen Waddle. You know, I also think about this. 345 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about it more as the season 346 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: gets closer. I wonder. Let's say Mac Jones is the 347 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: starter for Alabama, which takes away a lot of the 348 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: mobility threat that you may have there with Bryce Young. 349 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: I would love to see a prop bet in Vegas 350 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: of an over under of direct snaps to Jalen Waddle. 351 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: Wattlecat has a nice ring to it, and he certainly 352 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: has enough explosiveness, and I think that would be a 353 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: part of their offense to get the ball in his hands. 354 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: That was what always frustrated me about up until the 355 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: very end of his career. The way they handled Kenyon 356 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: Drake is like, you look at Kenyon Drake before his injury, 357 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: and you look at how talented he is, and it's 358 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: why in the world does he not have the ball 359 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: in his hands more? Well, then they put the ball 360 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,239 Speaker 1: in his hands and he ran all over people. All right, 361 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: let's move on here, oh Bud Elliott reference, Here we go, 362 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: and I know for a fact he listens, Hello, Budrick. 363 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: Recently I heard Bud Elliott comment he thought no team 364 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: would score thirty on Georgia's defense in the entire twenty 365 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: twenty regular season. Do you agree or would you take 366 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: the field and which teams in your opinion could score 367 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: thirty on George's defense. I agree with him. Actually, the 368 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: only shot I see of someone scoring thirty on Georgia's defense. 369 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: Notice he didn't say scoring thirty points. Scoring thirty on 370 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: Georgia's defense. The only team in their regular season has 371 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: got to show of doing that to me is Alabama. 372 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: That's Week three, that's on the road at Tuscaloosa. Outside 373 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: of that, someone may score thirty one on Georgia, they 374 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: are going to be thirty one offensive points unless there 375 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: is a rash of injuries the likes of which no 376 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: one could foresee coming. Georgia's defense, I believe will be 377 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: the best in the country this year. That's my feeling 378 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: on them. So I don't know. But then, by the 379 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: same token, do you need to score thirty on them 380 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: to beat them? What are they going to be? Offensively? 381 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: Everyone's got a question or several questions here, Uh, how 382 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: do we do this? Yeah? There we go? Okay, how 383 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: much time do you take to prep for your Q 384 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: and a's or is it all off the cuff? And 385 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: if it's not off the cuff, would a live Q 386 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: and a podcast be something most or a few insiders 387 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: such as yourself would entertain well. I would love that. 388 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: I believe live podcasting is sort of the next wave 389 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: in this medium, not that it doesn't exist already. I 390 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: think it's going to be huge soon, just like the 391 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: ability to go live on YouTube is huge now Facebook Live. 392 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: Those are big. That something that didn't exist a decade ago. 393 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: As for prep zero prep, it's one hundred percent off 394 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: the cuff. I've you know, the way I look at 395 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: it is if I were to go Jay is next up, 396 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: Jay has the next question. If Jay and I were 397 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: to go to lunch, would I prepare to go to 398 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: lunch with him? Like would I prepare? Would I ask 399 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: him for his comments in advance and prepare. I feel 400 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: the same about interviews. By the way, I don't prepare 401 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: for them. I know that sounds irresponsible, That's not what 402 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: I mean. I am prepared. I make sure I am prepared. 403 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: I make sure I'm well read on things. I don't 404 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: have a skeleton full of bullet points and notes and 405 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: everything that I want to say in every question. I 406 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: don't do it that way. And the reason and the 407 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: reason why I asked if I would go to lunch 408 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: with you that way, because all I'm doing is having 409 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: a conversation. Do you feel like right now, do you 410 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: feel how relaxed this is? If you're riding around in 411 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: your truck, or you know, you're on your lawnmower, you're 412 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: laying in bed, I don't know what you're doing, and 413 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: you're listening. Does it sound like I'm talking to you 414 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: or with you? I know you can't talk back. Oh 415 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: some of you probably do yell back at me, but 416 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: that's how it should feel. We are not solving nuclear equations. 417 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: We're talking about college football. So to me, I've always 418 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: been more comfortable with less preparation. I want to give 419 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: you as authentic a response as I would like. I said, 420 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: if you and I were sitting at lunch together, and 421 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: if you're not capable of doing that, what are you doing? 422 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: In this line of work? Has been my retort to 423 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: anyone who says you need to prepare more. As long 424 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: as you guys like the content, I'll keep doing it 425 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: that way. And as for interviews, you know, it's the 426 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: same general philosophy. Do I want to be tossing a 427 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: bunch of questions to someone or do I want to 428 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: be talking to someone? And I've always you know, I 429 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: think this week in our Social Distance series. I think 430 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: Brandon Marcelo did a great job of this. You go 431 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: and listen to his interview with Paul Finbaum. Take how 432 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: you feel about finebaumb out of the equation. Go watch 433 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: the conversational tone and tenor that that interview took. That's 434 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: not having a list of questions in front of you. 435 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: He may have had an idea where he wanted to go. 436 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: That was just conversation that you happen to voyeuristically be 437 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: able to watch. Those are the best interviews and to me, 438 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: those are the best sort of mailbag podcast formats. So 439 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: that's how we do that, and that's why we do that. Jay. Also, 440 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: I know recruitment and skill development of elite players are 441 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: both vital to programs becoming elite. But for conversation's sake, 442 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: which would you put more stock in as it relates 443 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: to programs winning championships recruiting and it's not all recruiting. 444 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: But you tell me what you would rather take your 445 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: chances with. Would you rather load up a roster full 446 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: of high four star and five star talent and take 447 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: your chances on whether you can develop them, or would 448 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: you rather load up your roster on third and fourth 449 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: tier options and then maximize their potential. What do you 450 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: think gives you a better chance to win at a 451 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: high level. I think the option A probably gives you 452 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: a better chance. So they're both important. They're both. You can't, 453 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: in fact, you're not going to win a national championship 454 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: with all of either of these. You got to be 455 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: able to do both. I would lean seventy percent in 456 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: the recruiting department and then thirty percent in the development department. 457 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: If I have to skew one way or the other. 458 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: Braid email. How big of a gap is there between 459 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: Oregon and the rest of the PAC twelve? Do you 460 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: think it'll continue for multiple years? Who's the biggest challenger? 461 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's Poppy Spence. Don't excuse me, Yeah, Poppy Spence. 462 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a huge gap, but I think 463 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: that Oregon is in the process potentially of emerging. They 464 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: have to. Like we said earlier, you cannot have a 465 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: big gap between you and anyone. If you don't have 466 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: a star quarterback, you can have a gap. You're not 467 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: creating a wide gap by default unless you have a 468 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: stud quarterback. You know, if you take Trevor Lawrence away 469 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: from Clemson. Clemson is still the best team in the ACC. 470 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: They're not ten miles ahead of everyone. If they're average 471 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: at quarterback. If your average at quarterback, you're vulnerable. So 472 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: the margin for error greatly decreases, you're vulnerable. Having said that, 473 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: and I've talked about this before, the style that Oregon 474 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: is going about building their roster with is different than 475 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: anyone else in the Pac twelve. That's what stands out 476 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: to me about them. Their biggest challenger is either, well, 477 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: depending on how you feel about Jimmy Lake at Washington, 478 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel yet. I do know 479 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: that they've got a high caliber quarter back of their 480 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: own coming in in mister Hewart, and let's keep an 481 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: eye on him. But outside of that, you've always got 482 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: to have your eye on USC. And if it's not 483 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: with Clay Helton, then it's with whoever comes in after 484 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: Clay Helton. And then as soon as you say that, 485 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: like Kyle Whittingham comes out of nowhere and probably wins 486 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: the Pac twelve at Utah. Now we go to braid 487 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: in the email inbox. How do you feel about Miami football? 488 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: Here's the question. Is the swag back well no, it's 489 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: not back braid. That's the answer to the first question. 490 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: Then he continues, there's a mid season stretch this year 491 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: where they have like six straight games that could easily 492 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: be one possession. They could go five and seven or 493 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: eleven and one. Which do you think it will be. 494 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: I think it'll be somewhere in the middle. I thought 495 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: they had a great chance last year, even if it 496 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: was early, very early, obviously, and men dia as his tenure. 497 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: I thought they had a good chance with the way 498 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: their schedules set up last year. Remember they had Florida 499 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: in that Week zero game in Orlando and it was 500 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: a turnover fest, Like they had a shot to win 501 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: that if they won that game, there was a chance 502 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: looking at their schedule, they could run off a string 503 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: of games and they could probably not be as good 504 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: as their final record would indicate, but their final record 505 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: could be really good. Like they could have pushed double 506 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: digit wins last year, except that they didn't and they 507 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: let the wheels fall off. And I don't know now. Granted, 508 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: you have a much different presence at quarterback when you're 509 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: at King this year, but that roster has to come 510 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: a long way too, And so eleven and one, five 511 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: and seven, probably seven to five. I mean that's probably 512 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: where I land. But understanding, Yeah, there's a lot of 513 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: Seesaw games there. Dan in the email inbox, who has 514 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: the best and worst fight song? Now I have no 515 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: clue who has the worst fight song. I've always been 516 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: partial to USC's fight song. I also, depending on which 517 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: day you catched me on, like Tennessee's fight song. I 518 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: just wish they wouldn't play it so much. Like Dreams 519 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: by Fleetwood Mac is my favorite song of all time, 520 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: but I don't play it seven times a day because 521 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what that would do to my perception 522 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: of Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. And if you look that 523 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: song up, by the way, listen to the two thousand 524 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: and two remastered version on YouTube. For those of you 525 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: who are younger than being born in the eighties like me, 526 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: just go to Spotify and you'll get the right version. 527 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, USC, and I'll tell you what, not even 528 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: the USC fight song. The song they play I don't 529 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: know what you call this, but the song they play 530 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: on the field pregame. You know, when the Trojan mascot 531 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: puts the sword in the ground, then they turn they 532 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: start their march. That song du du Dun Dun du du. 533 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: That one, that's my favorite one. I don't think that's 534 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: the fight song, isn't, but I really like that one. 535 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: The funny thing about fight songs, obviously they don't have words. 536 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: So for those of you who used to play the 537 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: video game, you have all of them in your head. 538 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: Like if you're like me and you just said Michigan 539 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: fight song, I could not tell you what Michigan's fight 540 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: song is. But if as soon as you start it, 541 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: I can hum every part of it, Ohio State, Alabama, 542 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: like it's all the same. I know all of them, 543 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: but I don't know which compartment they go in in 544 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: my mind until you start them, because I don't know 545 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: how to classify them. That's how my mind works with 546 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: fight songs. I'm trying to scroll back up because there 547 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: was a really long question I skipped over and there 548 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: it is. Okay, this is David in the email inbox. 549 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: Contrary to the predictions and hopes of many in the 550 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: college football world, I believe we may be about to 551 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: see another wave of Alabama dominance. I don't see the 552 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: Tide settling into a role as one of the best 553 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: I feel even less likely that they'll decline as a program. 554 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: How let's see, how would a team like Bama improve 555 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: through groundbreaking innovation and feels like sports science. Check by 556 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: creating a new type of defensive roster where players are 557 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: recruited and trained based more on their athleticism than on 558 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: field position. Check. I'm going to come back to that. 559 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: And by reintegrating their old school multi pronged running attack 560 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: on a dynamic quarterback who can accurately spread the ball 561 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: to highly skilled receivers. To be determined, but all signs 562 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: point to check. Yeah, all the stuff you're saying I 563 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: agree with. Like, I think Alabama's going to be insane 564 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: this year, and I think they're going to be insane 565 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: the next couple of years. The sports science aspect of this, 566 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning aspect of this. It's still early, 567 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: but talking to some people at Alabama, I don't think 568 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: I've heard reviews as good universally about replacing an institution 569 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: there like Scott Cochrane in a long time as I 570 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: have about the combination of doctor Matt Ray and David 571 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: Belue there. Now, what do you know, they haven't even 572 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: put on pads yet. I know all that. Ultimately, I 573 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,959 Speaker 1: want to know how healthy they can remain. But just 574 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: the ways that LSU sort of garnered an edge in 575 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: the SEC West, I'm not going to say LSU is 576 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: losing that ability. I'm saying it's no longer going to 577 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: be an edge that it was for a year at 578 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: least Alabama. Man, what they're doing is string science and 579 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: conditioning is about to be right back at the forefront 580 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: of the game, and it had dipped precipitously for quite 581 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: a while there. But the second thing is Bryce Young 582 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: comes in at quarterback. I don't know if he starts 583 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: this year, but he's there. He will be a superstar. 584 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: He will do for them what Tu a tongue of 585 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: Bailoa did. He'll give them that ability level. Let me 586 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: say that, he'll give them that ability level at quarterback. 587 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: They're loading up again on receiver in this recruiting cycle. 588 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: They loaded up on dynamic edge rushers, and last recruiting 589 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: cycle along with a guy like Tim Smith, it was 590 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: a five star option from out of Florida. So they're 591 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: loading up at linebacker this cycle. They will have a 592 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: very good defensive back haul this cycle. I don't know 593 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: where anyone's looking and saying, Oohbama slipping. The only place 594 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: that you could be looking at Alabama realistically and saying 595 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: they're slipping is in your treasure chest of wishes. Now 596 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: you may be comparing Alabama to a different standard saying 597 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: they're slipping. We're comparing them to the rest of the sport. 598 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: That's how this works. It's college football. I mean, you're 599 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: not Alabama's not playing themselves from twenty twelve or whatever. 600 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't think they're going anywhere. I think 601 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, David. I think it's far more likely 602 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: that they are going to contend for championships the next 603 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: several years than the fact that they're not or the 604 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: idea that they're not going to. All right, let's move 605 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: on here, Dylan and the email inbox. There's a lot 606 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: of competition in the Big Ten. Now, we Ohio State 607 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: have been pretty dominant for the past couple of years, 608 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: with Urban at the head and with Ryan Day now 609 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: stepping up and Michigan State losing D'Antonio. With that happening, 610 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: what is your assessment on the competition in terms of coaching, 611 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: roster and recruitment. You've mentioned a couple of times about 612 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: Franklin and Penn State being right there with Ohio State, 613 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: Michigan struggling with quarterback recruitment. Could you expand on some 614 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: of those thoughts, Well, let me if I said Penn 615 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: State's right there with Ohio State. What I'm in is 616 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: they've been more competitive. There's a gap the rosters, that 617 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: much is apparent. There is a gap in the coaching 618 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: staffs Now, this is where it gets a little tricky. 619 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: I think Ryan Days a star. Pretty much everyone of 620 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: reputable opinion thinks Ryan Day is a star. However, do 621 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: we definitively know that. I guess we don't until he's 622 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: got five years under his belt. So okay, I'll give 623 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: you that, like if you want to do one of 624 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: those for argument sake sort of deals. James Franklin's got 625 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: a more proven track record than Ryan Day. The only 626 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: reason we're saying that is because we can't hit the 627 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: fast forward button to five years from now. Five years 628 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: from now, I think there's no question Ryan Day's one 629 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: of the best head coaches in America. I don't think 630 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: there's a question now, but you'll have the resume to 631 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: back it up them As we always say, the sport 632 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: does not sit still, and so people will adjust, Penn 633 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: State will adjust, Michigan will adjust. And again I say, 634 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: when you look at the world of recruiting, I'm going 635 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: to get into this a lot more. But there is 636 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: something on the horizon in the in the department of name, 637 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: image and likeness and what it's going to do in recruiting, 638 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: And there is the idea that it is going to 639 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,720 Speaker 1: take Ohio State, which is already in a level above 640 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: anyone else in their conference, and it's going to put 641 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: them on a rocket ship that takes them into an 642 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: orbit that no one else can ever approach because of 643 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: the built in advantages that they'll have once it's legal 644 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: for a law firm to partner with a recruit and 645 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: pay them thirty thousand dollars a semester, once a shoe 646 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: company can do this, or that it's going to be 647 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: good for Ohio State. Trust me, it's going to be 648 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 1: great for him. I don't think that's the only program. 649 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: It's going to be great form, That's all I'm saying. 650 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: And so ironically, some programs that are struggling to close 651 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: the gap with Ohio State. Now, what if I told 652 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: you that the name, image and likeness legislation that is 653 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: coming down the pike, and the doors that that's going 654 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: to open. What if I told you it's going to 655 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: make the sport more competitive instead of less competitive. I 656 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: think that's a good place to wrap things up this week, 657 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: don't you again. I thank you guys so much for 658 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 1: these five star reviews. If you haven't already given us one, 659 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: it's very easy.
