1 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: Look, I love all of you guys. In this life, 2 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: in this world that we live in, you can do 3 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: one of two things. You can either run your mouth 4 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: a whole lot and then go back and delete all 5 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: your bad takes, of which you will have many, or 6 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: you can have the kind of show that I'm going 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: to have to have tonight. This is called discipline. We're 8 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: jam packed, We're high atop of cloudy downtown Nashville, Tennessee. 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: It's Tuesday night, October twenty eighth. Fear of Our Lord 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Now, we got week ten predictions on 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: the show, because that's what we do around here on Tuesday. 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: But also this is college football twenty twenty five, so 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: we also have coaching searches, whatever the plural form of 14 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: that is going on in the middle of October, pre 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: Halloween coaching searches. I'm going to talk about that. Some 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: harsh allegations have been thrown our way. Now a couple 17 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: of them are legit, and I'm going to lead the 18 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: show with that one of them. Though, Jesse, did you 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: see that someone had the audacity to claim we were 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: biased towards the SEC on this show. I gasped so 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: hard I almost choked, and I can't let that stand. 22 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: Some of these other allegations, I'm gonna let them ride. 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: That I'm not gonna let ride because if I'm biased 24 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: towards the SEC, I have a sneaking suspicion, so were you, 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: and I got evidence to back it up. I've also 26 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: got the japeepole on the show tonight. But we got 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: a lot to do. We're gonna give away some money 28 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: on the show. You like legit money, how about that? 29 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: So there will be some winners on tonight's show. I 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: just won't be one of them, at least until the 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: end when we do Rominudle Express, at which point we 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: cross our fingers and we all hope to win together. 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: So it takes a mature person to do the kind 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: of show we're going to do tonight, and I hope 35 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: that I am that mature person. They're watching us in Asheville, 36 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: North Carolina, and Arbor, Michigan, Cranford, New Jersey, and Blairsville, Georgia. 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: I looked at our traffic, because I do every morning. 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: I have a data report delivered to me every morning. 39 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: Are our subscription traffic is through the roof. That's because 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: we do the show free and we always have and 41 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: hopefully we always will. And I appreciate you guys for 42 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: keeping it that way. And all I'm asking if you're 43 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: watching the show, and millions of you are now every month, 44 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: make sure you check and see that you're subscribed on 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: YouTube and the podcast feed. That's it. That's it. It makes 46 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: no difference to your viewing experience. It just helps us. 47 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: And trust me, you have no idea how much it 48 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: helps us, and so I appreciate it. It makes me look 49 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: really good in the meetings I attend. And that's all 50 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: I ask, free of charge to enter, free of charge 51 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: to watch, just make me look good in the meetings. 52 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: I need us a tire boost tonight. I need a 53 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: little self esteem boost after what I'm about to go through. 54 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: So what I would like to lead the show with 55 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: tonight is we're about forty eight hours removed now from 56 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: the news breaking during our live show that Brian Kelly 57 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: was getting fired at LSU. And it didn't take me 58 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: by surprise. We had a little heads up that it 59 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: was coming. We just didn't know when it was going 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: to happen, and as it turns, it happened three minutes 61 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: after we went on air, and so we broke the 62 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: news here what we ourselves didn't break it, but it 63 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: broke on our show, and then we discussed it and 64 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: reacted to it and all that stuff. So everyone's had 65 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: an opinion on this. This is one of those that 66 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: affected everyone. I don't care if you're a Washington State 67 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: fan or an FAU fan, you had a take on 68 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. And I have looked at it and I've 69 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: asked myself, what in the world are we learning from this? Like, 70 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: I still think I'll talk about this in a second. 71 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: I still think the way that the ABC broadcast handled 72 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter had a ton to do, not ultimately 73 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: with whether Brian Kelly was going to get fired, but 74 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: the rapid nature of how quickly he got fired the 75 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: next day. So there's been a lot made of whether 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: you have to fit at LSU or not, Oh, he 77 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: wasn't a good fit, And I do agree he wasn't 78 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: a good fit. So that's part one of where maybe 79 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: I whiffed a little bit. But I never really thought 80 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 1: the fit for Brian Kelly at LSU was about what 81 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: most people think fitting at LSU means. If we're just 82 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: calling it like it is most people think fitting at 83 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: LSU means being from the South. That's an outsider's view 84 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: of what it takes to fit at LSU. Let's never 85 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: been what it takes to fit at LSU because Nick 86 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Saban wouldn't have fit there. Nick Saban fit there because 87 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: he was a really hard worker. Nick Saban fit there 88 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: because he leaned into what makes Louisiana great And I 89 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: don't mean great from a cultural perspective, even, I mean 90 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: what makes it a great place to be a college 91 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: football coach. He leaned into that. He hired at an 92 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: elite level. This is going to be a theme throughout 93 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: this coaching search, by the way, So just get used 94 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: to me talking about that. And he recruited, and that's 95 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: not in exact order. Recruiting probably could have been first 96 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: and foremost. He went and got really good players. And 97 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: when you get really good players, then you surround them 98 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: with an elite coaching staff and you work really hard 99 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: and you embrace Louisiana. You tend to win. And if 100 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: you win at LSU or anywhere else, they're going to 101 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: embrace you. And you know what, all of a sudden, 102 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: you find yourself doing fitting you fit, you fit and 103 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: you could use a French accent for all I care. 104 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: You could speak Portuguese down there, and people need subtitles. 105 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: They needed subtitles with Orgeron anyway, and he didn't speak Portuguese. 106 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: You fit if you win at LSU. It helps, if 107 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: you're not a total douchebag to everyone. Yes, yes, that 108 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: greatly helps. But I have a sneaking suspicion that if 109 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly kept his exact personality traits, but he had 110 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: done things other than have Matt House on his initial staff, 111 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: and done things other than hang out in an entirely 112 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: another state on important recruiting weekends, if he had leaned 113 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: into Louisiana, I think he would have worked out okay. 114 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: But he didn't do any of those things, so he's out. 115 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: So I have made a promise on this show. We've 116 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: done this show since twenty twenty. That's when we first 117 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: came to Nashville. We first at the time partnered with 118 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: twenty four to seven Sports, then CBS. Now I own 119 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: the show entirely, and we have partnerships with many different 120 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: people in many different companies. But I've always maintained the 121 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: stance to you guys that I would hold us hold 122 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: the show to a really high standard. And there have 123 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: been a few instances in the past where I just 124 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: had to go on air and I had to admit 125 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: that I was very, very badly wrong about something. Now, 126 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: I was trying to think earlier today, because I normally 127 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: like to wipe this from my memory, so earlier today 128 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: I was thinking, what was the last glaring example of 129 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: when I had to go on air. I don't mean 130 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: predicting a game wrong or anything like that. I mean 131 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: like pounding my fist on the table, ironically, like Brian 132 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: Kelly pounding my fist on the table. I believe something, 133 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: almost speaking down to people who disagree with it, and 134 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: I ended up being wrong. And I think last year, Jesse, 135 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: I was really confident that the Spring Transfer Portal was 136 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: just gonna go nuts because I had been told by 137 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: a couple of people I trusted, Hey, get ready, man, 138 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: spring Transfer portal is going to be crazy, and it wasn't. 139 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't, and I was really emphatic about it, and 140 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: it didn't happen. So I just had to own it. 141 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: And there have been a couple of other times where 142 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: I've had to come on the show similarly, hopefully it 143 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: doesn't happen very all often, but like once or twice 144 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: a year, we really just have to admit that we 145 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: screwed up. So Brian Kelly a few years ago gets 146 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: hired at LSU from Notre Dame, and a few years 147 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: ago I just a little backstory. I had thought Brian 148 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: Kelly would fit in the SEC for a long time. 149 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 1: Back in twenty fifteen, when the Georgia job was open, 150 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: I was rooting for Georgia to go after Brian Kelly. Now, 151 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: of course it was Kirby Smart's job. So Kirby gets 152 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: the job. All's well, that ends well for Georgia. But 153 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: I always looked at Brian Kelly and I always thought 154 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: he feels a lot like what these Southern coaches feel like. 155 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: I wonder how he'd worked done here. So I already 156 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: had that as like this default setting in my mind. 157 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: But then he got so deep into his career I 158 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: just thought the time had passed. So, you know, the 159 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: LSU job comes open, and I think I went on 160 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: an LSU message board and I kind of said, hey, man, 161 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: in my perfect world, you guys would go get Brian Kelly. 162 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: But I don't really think that that's in the cards anymore. 163 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: So you know, you move on, you start throwing around 164 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: other names. Well, it turns out LSU went and hired 165 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. So I was just ecstatic for LSU, folks. 166 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: I was over the moon excited because I thought that 167 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: they had really killed the hire, and I spoke about 168 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: it pretty emphatically, and I said some things back then 169 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one that have recently suspiciously resurfaced in 170 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: the form of screenshots on the Internet. Now a lesser 171 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: man would duck these allegations entirely, but it's kind of 172 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: hard to duck it when it's just right there. It's 173 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: not AI, it's not photoshopped or Adobe photoshop. Just Jordan 174 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Hudson would say, no, it's the real thing. So anyone 175 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: out there trying to defend my honor, thank you, but 176 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: it's not fake. And if you're listening on podcasts, my 177 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: eyes are closed because that's how shamed I am of 178 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: what I'm about to have to do. But we've done 179 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: it three or four times on the show throughout history, 180 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: and I've got to do it at least once more. 181 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: When you do clown things, you have to atone for 182 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: those things and around here on the Pate State campus. 183 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: The way we atone for clown behavior is I've got 184 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: to put on the clown nose like such. And for 185 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: those of you who wonder what this post on the 186 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: message board sounded like, let me take you back to 187 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: November twenty ninth, twenty twenty one, eight h four pm. 188 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm excited LSU has just hired Brian Kelly, and I 189 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: say the following. We discussed this name on this very 190 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: message board several weeks back, and I told you he'd 191 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: be my ideal candidate, but I never believed it was possible. 192 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: Apparently it was possible. If Scott Woodward closes this, it's 193 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: beyond a grand slam hire. I have listened to the 194 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: doubters and have yet to hear a logical reason why 195 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: LSU folks shouldn't be over the moon, excited about the 196 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: over the moon, excited about the higher I continue. I 197 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: cont notice my professionalism and persistence here. Brian Kelly has 198 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: essentially been trying to com no. Brian Kelly has essentially 199 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: been trying to compete in the Daytona five hundred with 200 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: a prius a prius given the limitations at Notre Dame 201 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: relative to college football's Tier one programs. To even have 202 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: them consistently in the college football playoff conversation has been incredible. 203 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: If you want to know how incredible it was, keep 204 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: an eye on the program once he leaves. Can I finish? 205 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: Can I finish? Can I finish? Okay, I'm done. Take 206 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: your screenshots. I deserve it. I said it, I own it, 207 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: and it was what it was, and all I can 208 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: do is learn from it. In retrospect, Did I view 209 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: the situation a little incorrectly? It seems that I did. 210 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: It seems that I missed a thing or two now here. 211 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: Here is what I think about it. I wouldn't have 212 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: done this had there not been anyone warned me, But 213 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: several of my Notre Dame folks warned me. Now at 214 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: the time, I listened to them, and I thought it 215 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: was sour grapes, because truthfully, twenty twenty one, I hadn't 216 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: been doing this very long. I have very little insight 217 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: into the inner workings of Brian Kelly's Notre Dame, so 218 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: I kind of know what the outsiders know and nothing more. 219 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: But there were people on the ground around Notre Dame 220 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: football who knew exactly who Brian Kelly was and what 221 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: he was about, and they talked for quite a while 222 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: about some of the same criticisms they had them about 223 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: him there that folks at LSU started to have about 224 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: him at LSU. I the other night went in on 225 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: him pretty hard, and I was leveling some of the 226 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: same criticism. Some of the Notre Dame folks were listening 227 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: and saying, oh, we were saying that like five years ago, 228 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: six years ago, seven years ago. Yeah, I just didn't 229 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: buy it. So they were right on that I was 230 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: wrong on that. I had to learn it the hard way. 231 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: I mean, there is no harder way to learn something 232 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: than wearing a clown knows on your own show and 233 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: reading posts of yours on message boards from four years ago. 234 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: But I was convinced that. I was convinced he had 235 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: tapped Notre Dame out. And I was convinced of that 236 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: because Brian Kelly did a pretty good job in the 237 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: subsequent years of convincing me other people too that he 238 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: had kind of had Notre Dame redlining. Like the way 239 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly presented his time at Notre Dame, it was 240 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: he had his foot off all the way down on 241 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: the floor, and he was absolutely maximizing the potential of 242 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: that place. And if you looked around, you know, you 243 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: could use certain context clues and you could think to yourself, 244 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: oh wow, man, Now the way recruiting is all the 245 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: southern schools out recruiting a lot of the northern schools, 246 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: and maybe Notre Name's academic admissions requirements and where it 247 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: is geographically, maybe their time has just passed, and maybe 248 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly really is maximizing that place. But then Marcus 249 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: Freeman happened, and since Marcus Freeman has been there, they've 250 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: recruited better, like they've leveled up in recruiting. Now. To 251 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: be fair to me, because I need it right now, 252 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: I said that before Freeman got hired, although I still 253 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: thought it like after Freeman got hired, So I probably 254 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: if I'm thinking back correctly to twenty twenty one, it's 255 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: not like when Marcus got hired or he got named 256 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: the head coach. I said, oh, never mind, I take 257 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: it all back. I didn't do that, but it wasn't 258 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: a shot at Marcus Freeman. It was just my view 259 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: of the Notre Dame program at the time. So my 260 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: view of the Notre Dame program is obviously radically changed. 261 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: Never hated Notre Dame. That's one accusation I'll push back 262 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: on pretty hard because I actually have a very very 263 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: very very fun spot in my heart for Notre Dame. 264 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: They don't believe that, Jesse, I'm going to move on. 265 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: I actually do, though. But it wasn't Marcus Freeman doubt 266 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: it was Notre Dame out. I should have been doubting 267 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, and I doubted Notre Dame instead. So that 268 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: was where I was on that. Now in the subsequent years, 269 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: it took about two years in for me to change 270 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: my tune on this show about Brian Kelly. But I 271 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: didn't do it overnight. I didn't make some proclamation. What 272 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: happened was I started to get feedback about Brian Kelly 273 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: at LSU because I know way more people at LSU 274 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: than I do Notre Dame. So I started to get 275 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: more feedback that led me to take a step back, 276 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: look at the situation and say, hold on, now, I 277 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: thought I was getting a guy that was going to grind. 278 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: I thought I was getting a guy that was going 279 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: to go all in. I thought I was getting a 280 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: guy that took the LSU job because he wanted to 281 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: do the same things there that Nick Saban did, wants 282 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: a generation to go when he took the job, and 283 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: that was not the feedback I started to get at all. 284 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: And I don't really care who you are. If you're 285 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: not doing what it takes to win at LSU, you're 286 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: not gonna win at LSU. It's the most common sense 287 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: standpoint or stance that you could possibly have. And that's 288 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: when I cooled on him. And then, you know, the 289 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: staffing decisions he made at the outset were very bad. Subsequently, 290 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: they're terrible defensively. And then I think there was sort 291 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: of a come to Jesus moment or several moments behind 292 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: the scenes where it was dictated to him and know 293 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: uncertain terms, you're going to make these changes. And then 294 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: changes were made. And then there were guys that came 295 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: back in the building, you know, with a little more 296 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: understanding of LSU, and the nose started to get pulled 297 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: up a little bit. But anyone who watches the show 298 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: or listens to the show closely noticed I never gave 299 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: credit to BKA, I gave credit to LSU. I called 300 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: it organizational moves because they were organizational moves, but it 301 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: really was never gonna happen because the guy was never 302 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: all into the degree that it takes for the head 303 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: coach to be at LSU to win. So that ended 304 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: Sunday night. I still wonder, though I'm gonna talk about 305 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: the coaching search later in the show. We got a 306 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: lot of games to predict. I still wonder because one 307 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: of the great questions I've been asked like twenty times 308 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: since Sunday is do you think if they didn't get 309 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: blown out Sunday night that he would have been fired Sunday? 310 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: Or if they didn't get blown out Saturday night, would 311 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: he have been fired Sunday. I don't know, but I 312 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: will always think back. The lasting image I'll have in 313 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: my mind of that game is how the fourth quarter 314 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: played out. I'm not saying ABC was complicit in this 315 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: at all. ABC put on a clinic on how you 316 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: broadcast a game and you truly capture the moment, like 317 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: I think they did a phenomenal job of capturing the 318 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: actual vibe. They did a great job of documenting the 319 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: critical storylines around the game. And since it's a blowout 320 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, places emptying out and so it. 321 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: It's basically like part infomercial for Texas A and M 322 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: taking place on your field, and all your donors are 323 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: witnessing it in person, and all your fans are having 324 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: to sit through it at home. And then they're like 325 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: ISO shots on Brian Kelly and everyone looks miserable, and 326 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: he looks miserable, and they're ISO shots on the few 327 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: remaining LSU fans in the crowd and they're all holding 328 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: up fire Brian Kelly, Kelly's got to go. And then 329 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: the way the game ended, and you don't have any 330 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: focus on anything for fifteen plus minutes other than how 331 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: bad it is, and that I think that pushed it 332 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: over the topic. It wasn't already pushed over the top, 333 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: not to mention how contentious it reportedly got the next 334 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: morning in the building. So we'll talk about the coaching 335 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: search later in the show. I don't care what coach 336 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: is hired. I have forever changed my viewpoint on hiring 337 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: because of this. I want to know what staff you're 338 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: bringing with you, which is always mattered. I just think 339 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: so often in college football vernacular, we talk about coaching hires, 340 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: and we grade coaching hires based on which head coach 341 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: they landed. I don't care O. Truth be told, they're 342 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: about twenty or thirty head coaches in college football that 343 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: would win at LSU with the right staff and doing 344 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 1: it the right way. And actually that's not the science. 345 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: The science is not hiring the head coach. The science 346 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: is hiring the head coach with the right staff behind him. 347 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: That's the whole secret here, and it's not really a secret. 348 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm paying attention to there. I hope 349 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: that was good for someone because I feel terrible. Let's 350 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: move on quick trip. I need refueling. I don't know 351 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: if they have emotional fuel there. They do. It's called 352 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: cold brew on tap. It's inside every store. I proactively 353 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: appreciate them because I'm going to be on the road 354 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: a little bit this weekend next week, and I will 355 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: I will need to make use of the cold brew 356 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: on tap. Probably need to make use of just some 357 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: good old fashioned gasoline outside as well. They are the 358 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: presenting partner of the show No Less. They also present 359 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: the Fall Don't Lie Tour. We will be in Dallas, 360 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: Texas this Saturday. I'm told that our friends over at 361 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: ACC Network will be gracing us with their presence, or 362 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: maybe we're racing them with our presence since they'll be 363 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: there before we get there and they'll be there after 364 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: we leave. Anyway, Eric McLain apparently duck and working out 365 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: with me again, No big shot. He'll get there one 366 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: day though. The latest edition of the faaldon't La T shirt, though, 367 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: is in the peate State store right now. Peytstate material 368 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: dot com. Short and long sleeves available. People. Let's talk 369 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: about some predictions for this weekend. No one wants to 370 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: look at me where Clowd knows anymore. Vanderbilt is playing 371 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: Texas this Saturday, and I got some numbers for you. 372 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: So this game is a high noon eastern eleven am 373 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: local time kickoff. It's on ABC. And I was talking 374 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: to our friends at FanDuel, and by I I mean 375 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: I had Jesse talk to our friends at FanDuel today 376 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: and they took us back to summer. We sometimes it 377 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: really really pays to look back and just remind yourself 378 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: what you were thinking in the summer and what the 379 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: general narrative was in the summer. So FanDuel hits us 380 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: up and says, hey, do you know what the look ahead? 381 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: No would have been if this game's on a neutral field. 382 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: It's actually being played in Austin. But let's just pretend 383 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: this thing is on a neutral field in the summer. 384 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: Would what would we have made that number? FanDuel said, 385 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: Texas minus twenty one and a half would have been 386 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: the neutral field point spread on these two teams in 387 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: summer Today it would be Vanderbilt minus one a three 388 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: touchdown movement on a neutral field between these two teams 389 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: between then and now. And again, it's not November yet, 390 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: although it will be November first when this game is played. 391 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: So let's calibrate our mind properly here. Let's not start 392 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: talking upset. Let's not throw that word around. Let's not 393 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: use the terms David or Goliath or anything like that. 394 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: Here's the reality. This is an SEC game being played 395 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: and a point spread of two and a half on it. 396 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: This is no different than Bama Georgia playing. It's no 397 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: different than anything else historically. Yes, it's David Goliath. People 398 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: always forget who wins that matchup, by the way, but 399 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: it's not that this year. It's not that Texas has 400 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: just as much challenges and potential hurdles to clear in 401 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: this game as Vanderbilt does so in terms of the 402 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 1: playoff picture, just a reminder, Texas is probably not going 403 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: to be a nine to three team that gets in, 404 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: so I think they need to win out. Vandy's only 405 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: a one lost team right now. Ironically, they have more 406 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: paths right now than Texas does. They can afford to 407 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: lose Saturday and somehow still make the playoff. It's what 408 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. So we don't expect arch Manning 409 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: to go. We're sitting here doing this on Tuesday night. 410 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: I don't expect arch Manning to play in this game Saturday, 411 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: still in concussion protocol. I think it's Matthew Caldwell's game. 412 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: He's thrown like eleven passes all year. He was the 413 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: starter at Troy latter part of last season. Now he's 414 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: not a freshman, so he's been around a while. He's 415 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: a senior. Historically, I have loved teams in this spot 416 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: when everyone else is running away because the starting quarterback 417 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: is out. I'm always running towards those teams. You guys 418 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: know that about me. I love picking team playing backup quarterbacks. 419 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: I love betting on teams that are playing backup quarterbacks. 420 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: And because the theory that I have in college football 421 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: is there is something that happens to a locker room, 422 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: especially like a high level bunch of really good athletes 423 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: in the locker room type place like Texas where the 424 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks out. I think it has a galvanization effect 425 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: that overrides the loss that you have points wise by 426 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: losing the starting quarterback. So everyone knows they got to 427 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: carry their weight a little bit more, and that more 428 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: than makes up for how much you lose in the 429 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: quarterback because it's not like you're not going to have 430 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: a quarterback out there. You'll have your backup out there. 431 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: It's just how big is the fall off and then 432 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: how much that rope can guys pick up just by 433 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: doing their job at a higher level. Oftentimes, in college 434 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: the doing your job at a higher level part more 435 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: than makes up for how much rope is left slacked 436 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: by losing your starting quarterback. And that's why you got 437 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: these results that never make sense all the time in 438 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: college football where backup quarterbacks win games. Also, if you 439 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: want to back Texas in this game, remember their defense 440 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: got exposed for the first time last week. So I've 441 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: got a team knowing they got to pick up the 442 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: slack cause the backup quarterbacks playing. I got a very 443 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: prideful defense that thinks it could be the best in 444 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: the country. And they got some really, really weird looking 445 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: numbers hung on them last week in Startingville, Mississippi. So 446 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: they got to atone for that, and they come home 447 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: and the entire organization gets a whole week to prep. 448 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: Know wing the backup's playing. This is not sprung on 449 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: them Friday, So it's gonna be on Matthew Caldwell because 450 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: Vandy is a top twenty run defense. Now, Texas, you 451 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: could make the argument that Wisner and Baxter combined are 452 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: getting as healthy as they will have been all year, 453 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: and maybe Texas is able to run it conventionally better 454 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: than they have. But I'm not going to assume that. 455 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: If I get that, it's just a nice added bonus. 456 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: Texas is ninetieth running the ball right now. If they 457 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: get that, that's great. Vandy's obviously going to make them 458 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: throw to win and seventieth against the pass. And look, 459 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: you ran it for forty seven yards against Kentucky, you 460 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: ran it for seventy two against Mississippi State. I'm not 461 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: counting on you winning this game running the ball. If 462 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: you do great. Look at Vandy, Diego Pavi a lot 463 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: of Heisman talk right now. I don't care about that 464 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: so much. However, if you do care about it, this 465 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: is your spot, all due respect. I don't think the 466 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: voters were paying much attention to what you did against Missouri. 467 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: They should have been, but that's not how these voters think. 468 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: These are the same people who vote in the ap Okay. 469 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: Some of these people still have LSU ranked, So it 470 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter all that. It matters what you do Saturday. 471 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: They'll be walking you Saturday, and they're gonna have to 472 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: do it with Diego Pavia's arm. Texas's top five run 473 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: defense anyway. They are in the sixties against the pass, 474 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: and we saw last weekend we saw Mississippi State moving 475 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: on him Vanderbilt. Here's the good news. Vandy can hit 476 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: the cap buster plays. Those are the big fifty plus 477 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: yard plays. They can hit them, but they've all been 478 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: explosive runs, so they don't hit them through the air. 479 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: Texas has not allowed a run of forty plus yards 480 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: all season. So if Vandy wins it like they did 481 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: last week against Missouri, they busted like an eighty yard run. 482 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: If they do that against Texas, it's not impossible. It'll 483 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: just be the first time it's happened all season. Pavia 484 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: has not thrown for two hundred yards versus a Power 485 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: four opponent in the last twelve games. So it's pretty 486 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: obvious how this profile is, how Texas is going to 487 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: make them try to beat them. Vanderbilt has weaponized the 488 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: red zone. We watched them do it last week against Missouri. 489 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: They are sixth in red zone touchdown percentage. Texas is 490 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: what eighty percent? I think, Jesse, Yeah, so watch the 491 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: red zone. I have a high suspicion that our paper 492 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: Popper stat will include red zone efficiency in this game. 493 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: Texas just doesn't allow teams to get down there all 494 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: that much. That's the thing about that. They're both in 495 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: the one hundreds in penalties, so that's a total wild 496 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: card in this game. They're both top forty in takeaways, 497 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: so penalties, turnovers, red zone efficiency basically a typical close 498 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: football game. That's what's going to decide this. Here's what 499 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: I want to know as we take a look at 500 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: what the model thinks. What I want to know is 501 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: what did that comeback do for Texas last week? The 502 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 1: FanDuel number right now is Texas minus two and a half. 503 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: Our model has Texas minus five, so it thinks the 504 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: number is too low. And that's including arch Manning being out. 505 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: What did that comeback do for Texas last week? Because 506 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: it could do one of two things. It could just 507 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: delay the inevitable, which is you're just gonna lay an 508 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: egg again eventually, or you learned lessons without having to 509 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: suffer the consequences of a loss. We talked about the 510 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: whole Bluegrass Miracle with LSU CIRCA two. Yeah, they win 511 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: against Kentucky, miracle, come from behind win. They just got 512 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: dunk truck the next week, so it just got delayed 513 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: one week. Is that Texas did another loss that knocks 514 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: them out of the playoff, just get delayed one week? 515 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: Or do they pull the nose up themselves end up 516 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: being a fringe playoff team and having us look back 517 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: and say, WHOA, we didn't realize it at the time, 518 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: but they come back against Mississippi State That meant the 519 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: world to Texas. Hm H, I am going to take 520 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: Texas to win this game and cover. I have to 521 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: think in my heart of hearts that my backup quarterback 522 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: theory has some merit, and I've got to think, in 523 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: my heart of hearts, if there is an ounce of pride, 524 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: if Texas fight really means something, this is absolutely meant 525 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: to be put in the hype video. If Texas fight 526 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: really means something, we'll see it on display Saturday. Sound good, 527 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: sounding good, I think so. I don't have a ton 528 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: of confidence in this game at all. The model does. 529 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: I don't because the model was confident in Missouri last weekend, 530 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: and Missouri they won the box score. But last I checked, 531 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: we don't give out any trophy for winning the box score. 532 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: We just call that a badlock stat. On Sunday, I'll 533 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: be the guy. I'll take Texas to win it and cover, 534 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: and then when they don't, I'll go to Academy Sports 535 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: and Outdoors and I'll buy a bunch of Vandy gear. 536 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: I've been accused of Vandy Homerism all week anyway, including 537 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: today in my very own city on one of our 538 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: very own local radio shows. I didn't even fight it. 539 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors will not fight you. They will 540 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: welcome you in, they will show you around. They will 541 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: probably put products in front of your face that you 542 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: never knew Academy carried. They are a longtime partner of 543 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: the show. It is getting close to that season. It 544 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: is getting close to time for you to start marking 545 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: items off that list. You could be shopping for yourself, 546 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: It's great. I highly recommend it. You could be shopping 547 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: for a niece or nephew, aunt or uncle, sister or brother, mother, father, 548 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: equal opportunity at Academy. You need kayaks, you need a 549 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: baseball bat, you need big league chew. Lets be honest, 550 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: we all do at some point in our lives. Academy 551 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors has it and Academy dot com if 552 00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: you can't get their in person, we got a nice, nice, 553 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: sizable crowd tuned in. Just make sure that you subscribe 554 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: to the channel and then somehow ask five of your 555 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: friends to do the same. That's how we get to 556 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand subs by Thanksgiving, which has been a 557 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: little internal goal of ours around here. How do you 558 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: do it? Click subscribe the end. Oklahoma plays Tennessee Saturday night, 559 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: seven thirty Eastern six thirty local time. Actually that is 560 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: Eastern time, so Bradley, let me start this over again 561 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: for your post show edit. Oklahoma Tennessee, Saturday, seven thirty 562 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: Eastern kickoff on ABC. Last year, this game happened in Norman. 563 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: I was there. It was Niko, Iamaliava versus Jackson Arnold. 564 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: And where do we find ourselves this year? Not even close. 565 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: We've got a guy that was at Appalachian State this 566 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: time last year against a guy that was at Washington 567 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: State this time last year. And I think we may 568 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: have a good old fashioned loser leaves town match setting up. Now. 569 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: If Oklahoma loses this game, technically there's still some paths 570 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: where they could make it in if they went out. 571 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: Tennessee's probably cooked if they don't win this game. So 572 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: it's a very, very big competitive character moment for the 573 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: University of Oklahoma football program. Here and some not so 574 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: great news, a little paper popper of a status we 575 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: get into it. Oklahoma only six and eight under Brinton 576 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: Venable's coming off a loss. We got to be better. 577 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: We got to be better here. I am nervous about 578 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: the pass defense for Oklahoma. Last weekend I picked them 579 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: to beat ole Miss. I'm a little salty about it. 580 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: Last weekend. We're going into that game and ole Miss 581 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: is number eight in the country. So up until that point. 582 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: To refresh your memory, there was no pass offense in 583 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: the fifties or better like I think top sixty. Oklahoma 584 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: had not faced a passing attack in the top sixty. 585 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: So the question was, okay, Ola missus clearly that they're 586 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: in the top ten, how much could they expose Oklahoma. Well, 587 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: Trinidad Chamblers threw for three fifteen. Tennessee's passing offense statistically 588 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: is better than Ole miss And you got to go 589 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: into their building to face them. They're number thirteen in 590 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: explosive passes, Joey Aguilar and crew, and they got more 591 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: than one receiver they can throw to. Although I'll talk 592 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: about what wide receiver ones have done against them. I 593 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: am concerned here. I'm very concerned. Now Here is the difference. 594 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: If I'm looking for a ray of light. It's not 595 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: been much for Tennessee defensively well Oklahoma over the past week. 596 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: For me, at least, Chambliss was only sacked once last week. 597 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: Very very good scrambler. Joey Agilar is not a statue, 598 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: but he's not gonna do to you on the ground 599 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: what Trinidad Chamblis did. So if you can get home 600 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: against him a little bit better. Maybe somehow, some way 601 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: we limit this. But if Oklahoma gets in a situation 602 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: where Tennessee scoring on them, Let's say, for instance, that 603 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: Tennessee's gonna get into the low to mid thirties like 604 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: Ole Miss did last week. Let's say that's gonna happen. 605 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: Is John Matier going to be able to trade points? 606 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: So pre thumb injury, John Mattier sixty three point four 607 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: completion percentage over three hundred and three yards per game passing. 608 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: Since the thumb injury, fifty seven point nine completion percentage, 609 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: about one hundred and ninety two completion yards per game. 610 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: That has also come with a ramp up in competition. 611 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: I do understand all that his rush yards are down too, 612 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: So just the production from the quarterback position has been 613 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 1: a fraction a shell of what it was at one 614 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: point during the season. That's the bad news. The good 615 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: news is you can find yourself against Tennessee's defense. They're 616 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: not really good at anything. They're one hundred and twenty 617 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: fourth and pass yards per game allowed, they're one hundred 618 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: and twenty sixth and explosive passes allowed. Tennessee's run defense 619 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: has been gashed by Georgia one hundred and ninety eight 620 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: by Mississippi State two three by Arkansas two point forty. 621 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: Oklahoma suddenly back to back games with a one hundred 622 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: yard rusher. John Mattier swears it's not his thumb. I disagree. 623 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: I think I may know his hand a little bit 624 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: better than him. But I digress. Hey, if you're healthy 625 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: and you got a run game that's coming around a 626 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: little bit, this is the time where you get right. 627 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: This is where this is a time where if they 628 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: score thirty five, you score thirty eight. You got to 629 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: find yourself against Tennessee's defense or you're not going to 630 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: find yourself. Keep an eye on miss tackles for Tennessee, Pasa, 631 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: Tegna and Burks. Uh, they can turn seven into seventy 632 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: pretty quick. We were rummaging around over on Vaulquest earlier today. 633 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: Great site for Tennessee. If you're not a fan, you 634 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: need to head over there. And uh, we ran across 635 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: a concerning number, and that is that the Tennessee defense 636 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: is averaging twelve miss tackles per game. And if you 637 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: look at the yardage that has resulted from those miss tackles, 638 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: twelve miss tackles per game has accounted for over eleven 639 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: hundred additional yards after catch Kentucky alone had two hundred 640 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: and thirty. There's like a whole games worth of yards 641 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: just after the catch off of broken tackles. Not great, 642 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: and Oklahoma has several guys who can make you look 643 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: foolish in that department. I also don't love Oklahoma being 644 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeenth and turnover margin because Tennessee's top 645 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: twenty five there. Tennessee, though terrible red zone defense, This 646 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: is the one area where Oklahoma can really tilt this 647 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: game because Tennessee doesn't stop anything once you get down there, 648 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 1: and Oklahoma is excellent in that department on offense. So again, 649 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: before we look at what the model thinks, Tennessee's remaining 650 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: road is Oklahoma Saturday. Then you got New Mexico State, 651 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: you go to Florida, and then you have Vanderbilt at home. 652 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: There is a world I don't know if we live 653 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: in it, but there is a world where they win 654 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,959 Speaker 1: their next three games. Vanderbilt wins two of their next three. 655 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: We have a showdown on Rocky Top the last week 656 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: in November, two days after Thanksgiving, with a trip to 657 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,959 Speaker 1: the college football playoff on the line, Vanderbilt versus Tennessee. Again. 658 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of myself. Let's take 659 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: a look at what the model thinks about this game. 660 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: Right now. FanDuel has Tennessee as a three and a 661 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: half point favorite. Our model has Tennessee as a three 662 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. I have lost my trust 663 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma a little bit, and they can get it 664 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: back here, but they're gonna have to get it back 665 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: before I picked them to win a game like this. 666 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't love venables off losses or they're not just 667 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: an automatic bounce back type outfit under him, I'm gonna 668 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: take Tennessee to win the game and cover and continue 669 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: to be on the fringes of the hunt for a 670 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: playoff spot. I think those rankings are released next week, Jesse, 671 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: Is that right? I think the first playoff rankings come 672 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: out next week. If not that, it's the week. Yeah, 673 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: it's next week. So there you go. This is the 674 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: last opportunity to impress the Committee, Ah, the fabled Committee, 675 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: before they released those initial rankings. They're watching us in Denton, 676 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: Texas Big game Saturday. Navy coming to town Rockford, Illinois, Raleigh, 677 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: North Carolina. I was trying to think of something to 678 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: say about Rockford that didn't have anything to do with 679 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: the Peaches. I had nothing. We took a youth mission 680 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: trip up to Rockford in like two thousand, so there's that. 681 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's continue, Okay, now that we worked 682 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 1: a couple of game previews in this LSU coaching search 683 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: is one of the biggest stories of the year, and 684 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: I am monitoring it closely, and I did want to 685 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: talk about it for a couple of minutes because I 686 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: talked to people all day about it, talk to people 687 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: the past couple of days about it. First bullet point 688 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: I have written right here, show me your staff. That's 689 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: what it's going to be about. In the LSU coaching 690 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: search and any coaching search, but especially this one. You 691 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: got to show me the staff. Okay. There is no 692 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: candidate out there that I look at singularly anymore in 693 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: these searches and say, oh, if you land him, ball game, 694 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: if you land him, it's done. It's a rap, it's 695 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: a grand slam. We cannot use that kind of language anymore. 696 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: We got to be better about this, We got to 697 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: be smarter about this. On this campus on this show 698 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: at least, So it is about the staff you can 699 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: bring with you. If I'm gonna hire Lane Kiffin, it's 700 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: Pete Golden coming with him, Charlie West Junior coming with him, 701 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: it is Pete staying to take the job at Old Miss, Like, 702 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 1: how does that happen? How does that work? I need 703 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: to know that I'm using Lane Kiffin's name because Kiffin's 704 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: on the top of a lot of hot boards. But 705 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: if it wasn't Kiffin, if it was Marcus Freeman, if 706 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: it was me, if it was Jesse Feels, whoever, who 707 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: are you bringing with you? And if I'm an athletic 708 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: director man or if I'm making these hires period, I 709 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: got to have a really good indication, especially with what 710 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 1: we just went through here, with what Brian Kelly put 711 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: on the field the first couple of years. Before I 712 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: know you're my guy, I got to know who your 713 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 1: guys are, who you're bringing with you. So Pete Naikos, 714 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: who works in the same building we're doing this show 715 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: in right now, because we do the show from the 716 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: on three building, Pete sits right out there just grinding 717 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: away on the phone, and they're about two or three 718 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: times per day where I look up and our office 719 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: is completely glass, so I can see out of it, 720 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: and you see Pete walking towards you, and I just 721 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: put my pen down, I put my papers down, I 722 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: put my feet up on the desk, I put my 723 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: hands behind my head, I lean back in the swivel chair, 724 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: and Pete walks in and I just smile because I 725 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 1: know we have an update coming. And that's what life 726 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,479 Speaker 1: has been like around here really since the Florida job 727 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: and the Penn State jobs opened up, and it is 728 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: still that way with the LSU job. This is Pete's 729 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: hot boarder right now. I would encourage you to be 730 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: following him if you're not already. I got a couple 731 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: of gifts of Pete then I'm just waiting to drop 732 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: for when he breaks this next bit of news that 733 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: he breaks whenever it is, but right now his hot 734 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: board and I don't think this is in any particular order. 735 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: These are just names to watch. Of course, you got 736 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: Kiff in there. Marcus Freeman's on the list. I know 737 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: that's a hot button issue considering they just took a 738 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: guy from Notre Dame and it failed. Means nothing you 739 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: can take fourteen coaches from Notre Dame. If you think 740 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 1: they're the right ones. Freeman's there now. What we don't 741 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,439 Speaker 1: know is will he have any interest in the job. 742 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 1: But that's why you make the phone call. You gotta 743 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,280 Speaker 1: find out. Kenny Dillingham is on this list. Jeff Brom. 744 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: I've spoken many times, many times about how good I 745 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: think Jeff Brom is, how good he would be anywhere. 746 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: The thing about Jeff Brom is he doesn't really care 747 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: what you think about him. He knows how to win, 748 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: you know, So if you value such things, then Jeff 749 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: Bram's your guy. He's just he is not the most 750 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,879 Speaker 1: equipped to kiss the babies and to take the pictures 751 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,359 Speaker 1: and to make all the appearances. I guess he could. 752 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: He's just not up his alley. He's too busy winning. 753 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: Who wants that he can't win the press conference? Who 754 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,399 Speaker 1: wants that? Eli Drinkwitz is on here, Clark Lee, Brent Key, 755 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: John Sumral, Joe Brady's on there now. The thing about 756 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: some rall that I wonder because some raw would be 757 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,479 Speaker 1: close to the time of any list for me. Right now. 758 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: I've talked about John several times. He's the head coach 759 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 1: at Tulane. For those of you unfamiliar, I was doing 760 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: Blake Raffino's show down in Louisiana yesterday and he mentioned 761 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: something on air. It wasn't private, he said. I just 762 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: kind of wonder this is him speaking, He said, I 763 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: kind of wonder from the political side of things, since 764 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: you have the governor involved on the LSU coaching search, 765 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: what are the optics of being involved in taking the 766 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,320 Speaker 1: head coach at Tulane is that's university in New Orleans 767 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know where Tulane is, 768 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: and moving him over to LSU. And I never thought 769 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: about it, and I have no clue if that means 770 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: something or not, just something to keep an eye on. 771 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: So I think John Sumral has a lot of fans 772 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: in that building. John Somerral's got a lot of fans 773 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: in most buildings. But Lane Kiffin is the name that 774 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 1: has dominated this search so far. So I'll go back 775 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: to the same thing with Kiffin that I've always said, 776 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 1: does he know what he would do if this offer 777 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: was put in front of him. I know what his 778 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: representation would do. His representation would want him to take 779 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: the job. His representation is not him. He is him. 780 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: He's probably gonna use that sound bite. Does Kiffin know 781 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 1: what he would do if this offer were put in 782 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: front of him? I don't know. It could come down 783 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: to a coin flip in the parking lot for all 784 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: I know. Does he value this job over the Florida job? 785 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: A lot of fans out there debating that it's so stupid, 786 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: it's such a waste of time. It doesn't matter what 787 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: you think. It doesn't matter what I think. Matters what 788 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,479 Speaker 1: that guy thinks. What if he thinks the Illinois jobs 789 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 1: better than both of them, Well, then it doesn't matter 790 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: how stupid that sounds to us. It matters what he thinks. 791 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: A highly doubt he thinks that. But you get my point. 792 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: So that's all that matters. There. You're gonna have to 793 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,439 Speaker 1: decide Number one. Are you happy at Ole? Miss? Could 794 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 1: you be happier elsewhere? Have you really meant what you've 795 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 1: said about that being home? If it is home to you, 796 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: do you want to leave home? Does legacy matter to you? 797 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 1: Do you think you could rewrite your legacy at a 798 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: different place? Just all this stuff, all this stuff is 799 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: gonna weigh heavily into this. And guys, that's if he's 800 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: actually number one on these lists. You know, we've gone 801 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: quite a while now where the Penn State job's been open. 802 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: Penn State job comes open. What was the headline, wall 803 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 1: to wall, The headline was Matt Rules their number one guy. 804 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't think Matt Rules their number one guy at all, 805 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 1: but that didn't stop people from reporting it. So Lane 806 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: Kiffin reportedly number one guy at Florida, number one guy 807 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: at LSU. Well, let's just wait and see if that's true. 808 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: Here's how you'll know that's true. If he ends up 809 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 1: taking the job, then you'll know he was really high 810 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: up on their list. But I can tell you quite confidently, 811 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: there are some job searches, there are some coaching searches 812 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: in recent history where Lane Kiffin's name has been floated 813 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: and he was never a candidate. He was never he 814 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: was never on the list for the job that's not 815 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: LSU or Florida. So maybe he is way high up 816 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: on those lists. Maybe lane Kiffin's image is such now 817 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: that it's a lot more palatable than it used to be. 818 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't care about any of that stuff. Frankly, I 819 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,839 Speaker 1: care about who he would bring with him. I care 820 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: about who's on his staff. Just like I care about 821 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 1: who is on Summer All staff or Eli Drinkwitz's staff. 822 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: That's what I care about. That's how you win at LSU, 823 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: That's how you win anywhere else. That's how you fit. 824 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: I will tell you this. You will never convince me 825 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: that the working theory is true, that, oh, the pool 826 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: is so thin right now of quality candidates, quality according 827 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: to who A sports writer, a talk show host, Like, 828 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: when's the last time any of us hired a head coach? 829 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: When's the last time you vetted one? When's the last 830 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: time you looked at the background check of one? What 831 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: are your critical factors? How do you know? Now? I'm 832 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: a big Matt Campbell guy, so like I would use 833 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: Matt Campbell as an example, how do you know how 834 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: to extrapolate the results he's gotten in Ames, Iowa and 835 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 1: how that would translate to anywhere? State College Pennsylvania, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Knoxville, Tennessee. 836 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 1: If the Tennessee job were open, how do you know? 837 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: Do you even know how to calculate that? Do you 838 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: know who to ask about that sort of thing? So 839 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter if you look at a hot board. 840 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: Aside from peten acos. Of course, if you look at 841 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: any hotboard out there and they get to about five 842 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 1: or six names and then say, hey, man, past this, 843 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: there aren't really any quality candidates out there. How do 844 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: you even know who a quality candidate is? And for 845 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: anyone who says that, for me to take you serious, 846 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 1: you have to have been touting Kurt Signetti a couple 847 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: of years ago when the Indiana job was open, because 848 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: if you weren't, you don't know how to spot a 849 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: quality candidate any better than I do, any better than 850 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: anyone else does. And that doesn't make athletic directors experts either, 851 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 1: because they screw this stuff up all the time as well. 852 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: So what's the science here, Well, it's very inexact, and 853 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: I do think there's a lot of coin flip crapshoot 854 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: type dynamics to this. But you greatly tilt the odds 855 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 1: in your favor if you understand how to hire a 856 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 1: staff staff properly. I am a believer that when it 857 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 1: comes to the LSU job, there's so many baked in 858 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: advantages there. There are twenty there are thirty head coaches 859 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: or head coaching candidates that would win at LSU if 860 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: they just staff properly. That's it. That's it. That's as 861 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: easy and as difficult as that. The other part that's 862 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: out of their control, but that they're gonna want is alignment. 863 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 1: An alignment is something that's been oh, I don't know, 864 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,320 Speaker 1: maybe in a state of flux there to say the least. 865 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 1: They don't have a president, the governors swinging the hammer 866 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: right now. Scott Woodward's there today, Is he gonna be 867 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: there next week? What I'm hearing is maybe not. So 868 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: I don't even necessarily know. If he's the one running 869 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: point on this coaching search, that's the athletic director down there. 870 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,359 Speaker 1: For those unfamiliar, I haven't been crazy with the job 871 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 1: he's done there anyway. So if I were an LSU fan, 872 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: that would kind of be music to my ears. Alignment 873 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: in this day and age, in a day and age 874 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,320 Speaker 1: where we are seeing that you can win big at Indiana, 875 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: and if you can do it in Indiana, respectfully, you 876 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: can do it at a lot of other places if 877 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: you staff properly and you have proper alignment and investment. 878 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,919 Speaker 1: No one is just crawling over broken glass to get 879 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: these jobs anymore if they don't have alignment. So your LSU. Yeah, 880 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: are you one of the best jobs in the country. Yes, 881 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: I think so. You better have alignment because it doesn't 882 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: matter what those three letters look like and how great 883 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: Tiger Stadium is at night and all that stuff. The 884 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: cosmetics of the job are irrelevant if the criticals aren't 885 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: in the order they should be in. So the alignment 886 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: piece is something you can't see on the surface, but 887 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 1: a head coach is going to demand it before he 888 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: takes your job, and you'll never win without it. And 889 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: that could just as soon be copied and pasted for 890 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: all these other jobs. I don't know who I would 891 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,479 Speaker 1: bet on right now. I guess if we were doing 892 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: the odds, I guess I would lean Lane Kiffin without 893 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,400 Speaker 1: even knowing if he's going to take the job or 894 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 1: if the job's going to get offered to him. Just 895 00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: full disclosure there. I just it's still early. It is October. 896 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 1: We've got a long runway here. But man, those conversations 897 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: are happening. It's a really interesting time behind the scenes 898 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,919 Speaker 1: down there. It's a really interesting time because I think 899 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: maybe you know, like six months ago, even if you 900 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: told me the job's gonna come open, that would not 901 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: have been the biggest shock in the world to me 902 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: who's running the search. That may be where things have 903 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,240 Speaker 1: changed a little bit for the better for LSU. Let's 904 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:35,360 Speaker 1: continue the game. We will be at Saturday, Miami at SMU, 905 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 1: our first ever game at SMU. The Fall Don't Lie 906 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:44,240 Speaker 1: Tour fueled by quick trip headed into Dallas eleven am kickoff. 907 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: Will we be back by five pm? I think we 908 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:52,439 Speaker 1: may be, but not until we see if Miami's for real? 909 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,720 Speaker 1: Are we really asking that question? All right? So Miami 910 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: is leaving the state of Florida for a football game 911 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,840 Speaker 1: for the first time this year November first. That's the 912 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 1: first time Miami will have left the state of Florida. 913 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: SMU is five and three right now, but they actually 914 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 1: lead Miami in the conference standings because they're both one 915 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 1: lost teams and SMU's got one more win. They are 916 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: coming off the worst offensive performance since Rhet Lashley has 917 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 1: been there. That was a woeful offensive performance last week 918 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 1: and its wake forest. But then with Miami, hey, look 919 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,879 Speaker 1: the Stanford second half win and cover full credit, I've 920 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,399 Speaker 1: still got some trust issues then I'm trying to work 921 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: through with Miami. Okay, I've already been on a roller 922 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,720 Speaker 1: coaster ride with Miami this year. Now, Louisville's a good team. 923 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,439 Speaker 1: It's not the end of the world that you lost 924 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: to Louisville. Some of the issues of the past cropped 925 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 1: up again. Was it a one time thing? Hey, Bama 926 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: lost to Florida State. I'm over that. Miami. You can 927 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: lose to Louisville, although it was at home off of bye, 928 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 1: but I digress. Jeff Brown good coach. So it's time 929 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,800 Speaker 1: to see with Carson Beck because this is the second 930 00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 1: worst pass defense in FBS, second worst pass defense. That's 931 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 1: one thirty five nationally. But they know it. See as 932 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 1: if you suck, but you know you suck, then you 933 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 1: can start taking preventative measures. And I have some preventative 934 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 1: measures here. It's not a topical cream per se. But 935 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: if you have a very very bad pass defense, what 936 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 1: you want to be is you want to be top 937 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: ten in sacks, you want to be number one in takeaways, 938 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 1: you want to be number four in interception. That is 939 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 1: SMU's defense. Is it feast or famine? Oh yes, oh 940 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 1: oh to the furthest and most extreme extent of the phrase, Yes, 941 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: it is. So if you get home against Carson Beck, 942 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: you can tilt this game in your favor. What you 943 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 1: should know is this has come at the expense of 944 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: some big time production days for wide receiver ones who 945 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: have faced SMU. So think Malachi Toni when I read 946 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,760 Speaker 1: these stats to you. Baylor's top wide receiver nine catches 947 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 1: one fifty one two touchdowns, TCUs number one eight catches 948 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: two fifty four three touchdowns, Stanford's seven for one oh 949 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:18,279 Speaker 1: nine one touchdown Clemsons seven one twenty four two. So 950 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,879 Speaker 1: that's the Miami side of things. Kevin Jennings quarterback there 951 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 1: at SMU, You're gonna answer season low in passing yards 952 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: last week, and he's thrown an interception in every game 953 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,319 Speaker 1: but one this year, and he's gonna have to deal 954 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 1: with a top five pressure eight team. So my look 955 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 1: for all the talk about how SMU can get after 956 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback, well Miami can do that too, but Miami 957 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: just does it with a lot more formidable athletic profile 958 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: than you know SMU is gonna have. Also, by the way, 959 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 1: Miami's defense is top ten against the run, so they 960 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 1: are actually good pretty much across the board. Here's the 961 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 1: thing Louisville did to them. Got the ball out quick, 962 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 1: so it rendered some of the pressure rate and having 963 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 1: statistics a little bit moot. That is not SMU's fourte 964 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,319 Speaker 1: that is not Kevin Jennings, at least that's not classically 965 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: been him. So if they're gonna do that, they're gonna 966 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 1: have to incorporate a little different offensive approach than they 967 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 1: have so far this year. SMU has to be good 968 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,320 Speaker 1: on third down. They just got to flip their stat 969 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 1: profile on this because they're one hundred and fourth in 970 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 1: the country on third down conversion percentage. Miami's top fifteen 971 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 1: defensively in that category. So that's the way college football 972 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,319 Speaker 1: happens a lot of times is you take something that 973 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: was on paper and then comes Sunday. That's not the 974 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,399 Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffetts on Let's come Monday, comes Sunday, you're looking 975 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: at it and saying, man, going into this game, SMU 976 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 1: is terrible on third down offensively. Miami was great on 977 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,959 Speaker 1: third down defensively. Yet wouldn't you know it, in this game, 978 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 1: SMU was eight of thirteen on third down. Well, that's 979 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: how you win it. That's how you win it. Just 980 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: because it has been doesn't mean it has to be. 981 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 1: It's like the entire story of A and football this year. 982 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 1: So maybe that could be like a microcosm from a 983 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: third down perspective in this game. This problem SMU has 984 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: had this year on third down that's led to them 985 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: being one hundredth in time of possession, which is a 986 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 1: stat our Buddy Parker Fleming over at Stats of War 987 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: probably values among all other stats is the amount of 988 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,760 Speaker 1: seconds and minutes you possess the football. Points don't matter, 989 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:30,320 Speaker 1: EPA doesn't matter, None of that matters. Just time. Time. 990 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: That's the most precious commodity in football. I believe he 991 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 1: told me that. I believe that was an exact quote 992 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,880 Speaker 1: from him. Those are all lies. He doesn't care. But 993 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 1: normally time of possession correlates to controlling games. Normally it does. 994 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 1: There are exceptions to the rule. Calm down, push your 995 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: glasses back up on your nose. I know there are 996 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 1: exceptions to the rule. But it all comes down to 997 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,919 Speaker 1: Miami protecting the ball. All this that I've just said, 998 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 1: it comes down to Miami protecting the ball. If they 999 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,360 Speaker 1: protect the ball, they should win this game. It is 1000 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,360 Speaker 1: proven easier said than done for game scripts to just 1001 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 1: go how they should. In college football so far, this year. 1002 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: So let's take a look what the model thinks. The 1003 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: FanDuel number right now is Miami minus eleven and a half. 1004 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,319 Speaker 1: Our model degrees right along with FanDuel. Our model is 1005 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,759 Speaker 1: different from FanDuel. It's just I mean, we're pretty much 1006 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: calibrated the same way on this one. Look, it's a 1007 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: warning light game from Miami. If they go in here 1008 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,279 Speaker 1: and dominate, they're up seventeen at the half and they 1009 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 1: win by twenty, great, just just dust your hands off, 1010 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: head back home, and you got this nice little back 1011 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,360 Speaker 1: half of the schedule against teams you'll be favored against, 1012 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,719 Speaker 1: and you should be able to go to work. But 1013 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: it's a warning light in that if they even if 1014 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,280 Speaker 1: they win this game but it's really close, or especially 1015 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 1: if they lose it, even if they win it really close, 1016 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: there's a world where Miami wins this game at the gun. 1017 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,799 Speaker 1: But they're all kinds of flaws that show that it's 1018 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 1: a warning light game. Maybe it's not the game that 1019 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 1: buries you, but it's a warning light game. I have 1020 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,399 Speaker 1: a suspision SMU is going to be very competitive here. 1021 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,240 Speaker 1: I appreciate that program enough to expect a big bounce 1022 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,400 Speaker 1: back performance from what they did last week. Because the 1023 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 1: thing about doing something and it crashing and burning is 1024 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: you have the least incentive imaginable to keep doing that thing. 1025 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take Miami to win the game, but 1026 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,799 Speaker 1: I do think it comes in inside the number. I 1027 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 1: will take SMU plus eleven and a half. I will 1028 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 1: take Miami to win, and we will be there on 1029 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: the sideline to watch it all our first game ever 1030 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:34,319 Speaker 1: at SMU. And as we get there, we'll walk through 1031 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 1: the tailgate scene and I'll look to my left and 1032 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: right and hopefully see flex power generators. It's the key 1033 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 1: to a good tailgate. It is, quite honestly. They didn't 1034 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,320 Speaker 1: ask me to say this. It may just be the 1035 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 1: key to life. Is that strong? It may be a 1036 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 1: little strong. Could you technically survive without a flex power generator? Yes, 1037 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 1: but why would you want to? I don't know. People 1038 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: live without clothes. Guess they could live without a flex 1039 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,760 Speaker 1: power generator. I just ask you when times get tough, 1040 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 1: when storms come your way, when it's time for the 1041 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 1: kiddo's birthday party, and you got a million different inflatable 1042 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 1: things outside, when little Johnny needs to hit and you 1043 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,680 Speaker 1: need to power the pitching machine. When you need to 1044 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: power your tailgate, why not have flex power by your side. 1045 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:30,000 Speaker 1: Myflexpower dot com slash Josh paid extremely quiet. I challenged 1046 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,799 Speaker 1: myself the other night that I think I could fall 1047 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 1: asleep with one running in the bedroom. I haven't tested 1048 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 1: that theory yet, but I'm thinking about it. Really nice 1049 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,080 Speaker 1: promotional idea. Let's continue. I need to take a sip 1050 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:46,359 Speaker 1: from the nondescript water jug right quick. Oh this could 1051 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,280 Speaker 1: be you, this could be us, but they're playing. They're playing. 1052 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: I could turn this water jug around and you could 1053 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 1: see the sticker here. I could do that, but no 1054 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 1: one has paid. So instead, I'm drinking like a hobo. 1055 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 1: Undescript water jug here. It is water though. That is 1056 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,799 Speaker 1: where I differ from many of the hoboes that I've known. 1057 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: And if you don't believe that, you probably need to 1058 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 1: understand what some of my hobbies are or have been 1059 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: in the past. I'm reformed now. But in the past, 1060 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,720 Speaker 1: have I hopped a freight trainer? Two? Yes, I have. 1061 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 1: Have I made some friends along the way, acquaintances, I 1062 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 1: would say, there's some fun YouTube channels to watch. By 1063 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,480 Speaker 1: the way, you get done watching college football on this platform. 1064 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,720 Speaker 1: Train hopping. That's your next stop. Stormchasing in the spring. 1065 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: USC at Nebraska Saturday, seven thirty Eastern kickoff, NBC schedule 1066 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 1: dynamic alert. We should have the lights going off in 1067 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: here right now. Let's triple paper pop us. He's off 1068 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:55,399 Speaker 1: a bye. This is Nebraska's fifth straight game. That's why USC. Well, 1069 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 1: that's one reason why USC is favored by nearly a 1070 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 1: touchdown in link in. Nebraska has twenty eight straight losses 1071 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 1: when facing AP ranked teams. Did you know that? Twenty 1072 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:14,840 Speaker 1: eight straight losses when facing AP ranked teams? Why do 1073 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: I mention that? Well, it's not necessarily because we care 1074 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 1: about the AP pole here, Well, we care about them, 1075 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 1: but we don't really value that number. But in the 1076 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 1: interest of conspiracy and knowing, Nebraska has gone oh to 1077 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 1: twenty eight in their last twenty eight games against AP 1078 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 1: ranked teams. Did you know USC was unranked last week 1079 00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: and they didn't play on Saturday. Yet mysteriously they are 1080 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: now twenty third in the AP pole. Who at the 1081 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:48,440 Speaker 1: AP is anti Nebraska? Hoomst at the AP is anti Nebraska. 1082 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: So we'll get PA state investigates on that. In the meantime, 1083 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 1: I hold in my hand a piece of paper. This 1084 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 1: piece of paper says this is an elite matchup. The 1085 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: paper says it, and it says that USC's got the 1086 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,400 Speaker 1: number one passing offense in the country. It says Nebraska's 1087 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 1: got the number two passing defense in the country. Sounds 1088 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 1: elite to me. That's what we thought about Oklahoma last week. Oh, 1089 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 1: you number one or top five across the board a 1090 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: lot of the critical defensive metrics. Well, we found out 1091 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 1: they also hadn't faced a passing attack in the top sixty. 1092 00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,080 Speaker 1: Nebraska has not phased one in the top fifty. So 1093 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 1: is it about to happen to Nebraska the way it 1094 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 1: happened to Oklahoma last week? Lemon Lane big time names 1095 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,320 Speaker 1: for us. He should have success here, But let's just 1096 00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 1: say they don't. What if they're relatively held in check? 1097 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,200 Speaker 1: Tall task. But what if they're relatively held in check 1098 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,680 Speaker 1: by Matt Ruhle and the guys at Nebraska. Well, I 1099 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 1: would respond with this, do you know what this is? 1100 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,080 Speaker 1: If you're a USC, I mean, Lincoln Riley, do you 1101 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: guys know what you're gotten yourself into here? A Big 1102 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 1: ten football game in November, that's what you've gotten yourself into. 1103 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 1: And you shouldn't be scared about it. You should embrace it. 1104 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago. You guys ran the ball 1105 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,160 Speaker 1: down Michigan's throat in the coliseum. You didn't do it 1106 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 1: on the road, but you did it. You won a 1107 00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 1: Big ten game out Big tenning a Big Ten opponent. 1108 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 1: Why can't you do it again? Minnesota had a one 1109 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 1: eighty six to thirty six rushing yard advantage on Nebraska, 1110 00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 1: Michigan out rushed him two eighty six to forty three. 1111 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: Why can't you do that? What you've got stud receivers. Yeah, 1112 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 1: you got a quarterback that should be able to get 1113 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 1: it done through the air. But if they don't, just 1114 00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,000 Speaker 1: run the ball. Now, I know you're a little deficient 1115 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 1: in the depth department there right now, But this is 1116 00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 1: USC man, this is the Big Ten, this is November. 1117 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,880 Speaker 1: This is when winning happens. Nebraska one hundred and twenty eighth, 1118 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:53,200 Speaker 1: then sacks allowed USC fifteenth. So not only should you 1119 00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,959 Speaker 1: be able to run the ball, you should be able 1120 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 1: to pressure the quarterback as well. So a couple of 1121 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 1: critical game factors there tilt Trojans and IT profiles. Now 1122 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what IT profiles as again, We're 1123 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 1: gonna go back to the piece of paper here. You 1124 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 1: hear that. You know what that sound is. That is 1125 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 1: a game profiling as a plus matchup for Nebraska through 1126 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 1: the air. Here's how I see it. Emmitt Johnson got 1127 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:23,120 Speaker 1: to give him twenty plus carries. In games where Nebraska 1128 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 1: gives that kid twenty plus carries, they are three and 1129 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 1: oh against the powerful. When he doesn't carry it twenty times, 1130 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,360 Speaker 1: they are one and two. And in those two losses, 1131 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 1: Dylan Riola has taken more sacks than in the six 1132 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 1: wins combined. So USC pass defense eightieth in the country. 1133 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,560 Speaker 1: You still need to run the ball. It comes down 1134 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 1: to the run for both teams. Don't get so focused 1135 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 1: on the shiny objects at receiver. Don't get so focused 1136 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,920 Speaker 1: on Ryol and Mayava. Yes they'll end up making plays 1137 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 1: and maybe they decide the games, but it's on the 1138 01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 1: back of hopefully good rushing attacks for each or either 1139 01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 1: one of them. Do I have trust issues with USC 1140 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,439 Speaker 1: travel trust? Yeah? I do. We saw what happened last 1141 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 1: time you went on the road against Notre Dame. We 1142 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: saw earlier in the season they went to Illinois and lost, 1143 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: and this is their next opportunity at Nebraska. It's November, man, 1144 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,520 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what the model thinks. FanDuel 1145 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 1: number right now is USC minus six and a half. 1146 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 1: Model only has USC minus four. Model leans Nebraska a 1147 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,800 Speaker 1: little bit more. I don't have a feel on the game, 1148 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,600 Speaker 1: but I have it as a very tight game. So 1149 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,400 Speaker 1: I am doing what I don't really like to do, 1150 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 1: and I've already done it once in the game. But 1151 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 1: I really do think this is a very very close, 1152 01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,280 Speaker 1: one possession type game. I'm not betting it. I think 1153 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 1: USC's gonna find a way, really really close to win 1154 01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,480 Speaker 1: this game. I'm not laying six and a half, so 1155 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,280 Speaker 1: if I'm betting this game with the points, I'm taking 1156 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 1: Nebraska plus six and a half. But I do think 1157 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: USC is going to win the game outright nose itches 1158 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 1: and that's the bottom Minchael stone Cold said so, but yeah, 1159 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 1: that's a if you can't keep losing these games on 1160 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,600 Speaker 1: the road, man, Like USC is still in this thing too. 1161 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to say Nebraska was, but I think that 1162 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,760 Speaker 1: crashed and burned or maybe it didn't. Who knows, maybe 1163 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,479 Speaker 1: it didn't. I got a very important post it note. 1164 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 1: I need to peel it off and put it right 1165 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 1: here because we have an accusation that we have to address. 1166 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,640 Speaker 1: All Right, Norman, friend of the program in Tampa, he said, 1167 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 1: the AP pole already has SEC bias. After watching the 1168 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 1: Sunday show, I'm starting to think you do as well. 1169 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:40,080 Speaker 1: Don't forget other leagues exist too, Norman. I know other 1170 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 1: leagues exist. I know that because we talk about the 1171 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:46,160 Speaker 1: other leagues on the show. But I assume, Norman, that 1172 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 1: you're referring to how disproportionately SEC heavy the Sunday show was. 1173 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,240 Speaker 1: It absolutely was. Minute by minute, it was probably our 1174 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 1: most SEC heavy show that we've ever done here. But 1175 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,040 Speaker 1: I ask you, Norman, did you look at the Slate 1176 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,560 Speaker 1: last week? Sunday's a reaction show, so we're reacting to 1177 01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 1: the most noteworthy games. Did you look at last week Slate? 1178 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,520 Speaker 1: Remember what we're doing here, We're doing a national college 1179 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:15,400 Speaker 1: football show, and I look, I've told you my perfect 1180 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 1: worldview is the PAC twelve still exists, and I'm talking 1181 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 1: about PAC twelve games, and I'm talking about games all 1182 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 1: over the country. That wasn't the reality of the landscape 1183 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 1: last week. So last week we had ole Miss Oklahoma, 1184 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 1: we had Auburn, Arkansas. We had BAMA, South Carolina, Missouri, 1185 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt A, and MLSU. That was the slate that the 1186 01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 1: SEC offered, and we did reactions I think to all 1187 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 1: those games on Sunday. I've asked several people because I've 1188 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,200 Speaker 1: gotten this feedback a lot this week, where else would 1189 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,320 Speaker 1: you have gone? What you're hosting a college football show, 1190 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 1: It's a national show on a Sunday. Where else would 1191 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: you have gone? Would you really have dedicated eight plus 1192 01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,680 Speaker 1: minutes to UCLA Indiana? If you have done it for 1193 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 1: Brigham Young Iowa State, even as your viewership indicates that 1194 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 1: people didn't really have a lot of interest in you 1195 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:11,040 Speaker 1: talking about that, I'm being honest with you. I don't 1196 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 1: stack the show for me. If I stacked the show 1197 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 1: for me, I talk Iowa State until your ears bled. 1198 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I don't stack the show for me. I format it 1199 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 1: for you. We fall right in line with what your 1200 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 1: interest says you want to listen to. Would you have 1201 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,400 Speaker 1: done something? Would you have done eight minutes on Wisconsin, Oregon? 1202 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 1: Ohio State was on a buy, we couldn't talk about them, 1203 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 1: Northwestern Nebraska? Where else would you have gone? Is what 1204 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: I'm trying to ask. So it was SEC heavy. It's 1205 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 1: not biased. Contrary to semi popular belief out there, I'd 1206 01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 1: much rather spread the peanut butter across the bread than 1207 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 1: have big globs of it in the southeastern corner. It's 1208 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:55,600 Speaker 1: pretty vivid. I reflect your preferences. I don't know what 1209 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 1: else to tell you. And if you don't believe me 1210 01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,760 Speaker 1: on that, if I got SEC bias on this show, 1211 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 1: you do as well. I am not a big TV 1212 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,080 Speaker 1: ratings guy. We hardly ever talk about him on the show. 1213 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 1: But from a viewership perspective. From an interest perspective, the 1214 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,000 Speaker 1: Big Ten has killed this this year. The Big ten 1215 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 1: schedule just sucks this year. It's been terrible. I used 1216 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 1: to work at CBS. We had the SEC Game of 1217 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: the Week contract for a long time, and towards the 1218 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 1: time that I left there, they shifted over to having 1219 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,040 Speaker 1: a Big Ten contract. They don't even get their first 1220 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 1: pick of that game. The CBS three thirty Game of 1221 01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 1: the Week is a historic inventory piece on like a 1222 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,200 Speaker 1: Saturday slate of games. I love it. I think it's 1223 01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 1: second to none production wise. Friend of the program Jenny 1224 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 1: Dell on the sideline, I mean Craig Silver in the truck, 1225 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 1: like love all them love all those guys and girls. 1226 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,760 Speaker 1: This has been their lineup so far this year. Nevada, 1227 01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 1: Penn State, Oklahoma State, Oregon, USC, Purdue. We were at Michigan, Nebraska, 1228 01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 1: Ohio State washing solid game, Penn State at UCLA, Indiana 1229 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 1: at Oregon was a really good game. Ohio State at Wisconsin, 1230 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 1: no one watched it. Minnesota at Iowa. That's for Florida Rosedale. 1231 01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,640 Speaker 1: That's been the lineup. The Big Ten has not held 1232 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 1: up their end of the bargain, which is ironic because 1233 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,680 Speaker 1: as of right now, I think the two best teams 1234 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,520 Speaker 1: in the country are in the Big Ten. Oregon may 1235 01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 1: end up still being one of the best teams in 1236 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 1: the country. It's not a knock on the top of 1237 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 1: the conference, but the depth is not there. Wisconsin has 1238 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 1: not done the job, Michigan State, Nebraska, like these teams 1239 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 1: that should be better than they are, they're not and 1240 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 1: as a result, it does not compare from an audience 1241 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,400 Speaker 1: interest perspective, like does this make sense to anyone? It's 1242 01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 1: not what I want to be, it's what is. I 1243 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,920 Speaker 1: just swear to you guys. If you look at the numbers, 1244 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,560 Speaker 1: I look at our internals, I don't think you do 1245 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 1: the show any differently. This weekend, by the way, is 1246 01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:03,240 Speaker 1: a really good example of this of how the SEC 1247 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,160 Speaker 1: is extremely deep, but it's compacted. So if you want 1248 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,000 Speaker 1: to argue with me, oh dude, Ohio State's better than 1249 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,040 Speaker 1: any team in the SEC, I think you're right. But 1250 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 1: that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about 1251 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,560 Speaker 1: what people are interested in, and we're talking about the 1252 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:20,160 Speaker 1: depth overall of the SEC that things so compacted. Right now, 1253 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,800 Speaker 1: here's a good example. Ohio State plays Penn State this weekend. 1254 01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 1: Georgia plays Florida this weekend. Okay, so, Ohio State and 1255 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,800 Speaker 1: Georgia are two teams very much alive in the national 1256 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 1: championship picture in the SEC and Big Ten championship pictures, 1257 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 1: and Penn State's season is done and Florida season is done. 1258 01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,840 Speaker 1: The spread on Ohio State Penn State is twenty and 1259 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,480 Speaker 1: a half. Do you know what the spread on Georgia 1260 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: Florida is? It's seven and a half. So even the 1261 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:55,439 Speaker 1: games featuring the number two or three SEC team versus 1262 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:59,480 Speaker 1: the number nine SEC team are such that anything could 1263 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 1: happen on that given Saturday, that's not the case in 1264 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,480 Speaker 1: the Big Ten. It's just not the case. Ohio State's 1265 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 1: a great team, probably the best in the country right now. 1266 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, like when's the last time we even 1267 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,680 Speaker 1: did a game breakdown on their game. So also, like, 1268 01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 1: if you look at the depth of those leagues, the 1269 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:21,400 Speaker 1: SEC number eight through thirteen is Missouri, Oklahoma, Florida, LSU, Auburn, 1270 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:25,200 Speaker 1: South Carolina. South Carolina's the tail in there. I just 1271 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,840 Speaker 1: watched South Carolina play Alabama. I think South Carolina may 1272 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,960 Speaker 1: have had the three best athletes on the field. Dylan 1273 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,439 Speaker 1: Stewart is on South Carolina's team, Eleonora Sellers is over there, 1274 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 1: Nick Harbor's over there. I'm not saying that about Rutgers. 1275 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,640 Speaker 1: That's the thirteenth best team in the Big Ten, or 1276 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 1: Maryland or Illinois or UCLA or Washington or Northwestern. That's 1277 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,200 Speaker 1: eight through thirteen in the Big Ten. So it's not 1278 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 1: really comparable. And when you've got matchups and the SEC 1279 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 1: has not or the Big Ten rather has not developed 1280 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,880 Speaker 1: better depth of interest, I don't know what we're supposed 1281 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,120 Speaker 1: to do. It's not just a Big Ten problem alb. 1282 01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:04,759 Speaker 1: The ACC's just as much to blame. So conference expansion 1283 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,080 Speaker 1: is really to blame. More so than anything but dynamic rosters, 1284 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 1: engaged fan bases, organic interest. That's how we're stacking the show. 1285 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,479 Speaker 1: So if there's bias there, that's bias. I've already told 1286 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,880 Speaker 1: you what my dream world in college football is. My 1287 01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 1: dream world is USC's on fire, Oregon's on fire, Washington's 1288 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,639 Speaker 1: on fire, Arizona State's rolling, Nebraska's a national title contender, 1289 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 1: Miami's got their act together, so does Florida State, so 1290 01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: does Clemson. Virginia Tech is back, Michigan State is doing 1291 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,760 Speaker 1: what they're supposed to, Wisconsin's doing what they're supposed to, 1292 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,880 Speaker 1: Penn State's doing what they're supposed to do. That's not 1293 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,240 Speaker 1: the world we live in right now. It's just not 1294 01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. That's not the world we live in 1295 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:47,560 Speaker 1: right now. So I'm gonna I'm gonna say this. I 1296 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,880 Speaker 1: don't mean it to be like negative or rude or anything, 1297 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:56,439 Speaker 1: but this platform is free for anyone to do any 1298 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,320 Speaker 1: kind of show they want. You can start yours today 1299 01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 1: if you want, and you want to start one, and 1300 01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,240 Speaker 1: you want to go cover the games that you want 1301 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 1: to cover, the teams you want to cover, have at it. 1302 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:07,439 Speaker 1: I may even go subscribe and listen to it. But 1303 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 1: the way we do this show is I follow you, 1304 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,080 Speaker 1: I follow you, and when you show me that you're 1305 01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,839 Speaker 1: not really interested in something, I'm not going to continue 1306 01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,360 Speaker 1: to put it in the show. What we do do 1307 01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 1: on Sunday nights is we take the games that we're 1308 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,840 Speaker 1: not going to give individual breakdowns to and I do 1309 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 1: like added takeaways, and we we'll just hammer through them 1310 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,600 Speaker 1: because we hit a lot of stuff on Sunday. Like, 1311 01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:29,800 Speaker 1: anyone who says we don't talk about anything other than 1312 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,360 Speaker 1: SEC is just lying. They're just lying, and so I 1313 01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 1: don't really need to defend us against that. But yeah, 1314 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,240 Speaker 1: it was a very SEC heavy show Sunday. I don't 1315 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:39,680 Speaker 1: know how I would have done the show any other way. 1316 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 1: If you're looking for tickets to non SEC games, then 1317 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,839 Speaker 1: I have good news for you. We can get your discount. 1318 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,439 Speaker 1: You can use this for SEC games too, though. You 1319 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,120 Speaker 1: can go to seat geek if you guys are looking 1320 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 1: for it. I had someone DM me today and ask 1321 01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,800 Speaker 1: what was the promo code for the discount at seat geek. Well, 1322 01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:01,320 Speaker 1: it's pay ten pat E one zero, So I'm gonna 1323 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 1: get you ten percent off orders I think up to 1324 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,960 Speaker 1: two hundred dollars yeah, and then any order over two 1325 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,519 Speaker 1: hundred dollars, I'll just get you twenty dollars off. So 1326 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:12,960 Speaker 1: I know, I know tickets aren't cheap for these big games, 1327 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,760 Speaker 1: but they can be a little bit more affordable if 1328 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 1: you go to seat Geek and you use Pat one zero. 1329 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 1: JP poles out. I'm waiting, Bradley, hold on a second. 1330 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:26,479 Speaker 1: All right, here we go, JP pole is out. These 1331 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,599 Speaker 1: are not rankings. We do those on Thursday. This has 1332 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the AP. These are not teams 1333 01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,439 Speaker 1: that are ranked. These are not rankings. These are power ratings. 1334 01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: So this absolutely is the model telling us what order 1335 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 1: it would favor these teams against each other on a 1336 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:46,040 Speaker 1: neutral field. So a couple of things to note before 1337 01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:50,200 Speaker 1: we get into it here. There is some separation starting 1338 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,639 Speaker 1: to happen at the top of the SEC. We thought 1339 01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,439 Speaker 1: that in the preseason. Remember in the preseason, everyone told 1340 01:11:56,520 --> 01:12:00,840 Speaker 1: you at media days and stuff, Georgia Texas out, Labama, LSU, 1341 01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 1: those were going to be the top four and there 1342 01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,360 Speaker 1: was gonna be a little separation, which I thought was 1343 01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 1: kind of foolish, but that's what people said. Well, it 1344 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: turns out we do have a top four and then 1345 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a separation, but the top four 1346 01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,360 Speaker 1: is A and M and Alabama and Ole Miss in Georgia. 1347 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:18,560 Speaker 1: Those are the top four. We'll get to that in 1348 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,920 Speaker 1: a second. Also very interesting to note as we head 1349 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 1: into this weekend, Vanderbilt's playing Texas. Very interesting to note. 1350 01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:31,800 Speaker 1: Texas has they're down ten points in the model off 1351 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:37,040 Speaker 1: of their preseason power rating. Vandy is a plus seven 1352 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:41,240 Speaker 1: I think off of their preseason rating, so in the 1353 01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:45,639 Speaker 1: net we have a seventeen point adjustment in that particular 1354 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 1: matchup over what the number would have been on a 1355 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,679 Speaker 1: neutral field in the preseason. So let's dive in. Iowa 1356 01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,200 Speaker 1: is number twenty, which is important to note because they're 1357 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 1: not ranked in the AP poll right now, which is 1358 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,360 Speaker 1: pathetic and although this is not meant to be a 1359 01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 1: ranking I wish should be ranked in the A people 1360 01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:11,759 Speaker 1: LSU is nineteen, Vanderbilt's eighteen. Louisville is seventeen, so Missouri 1361 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,560 Speaker 1: at sixteen is not With the quarterback injury factored in, 1362 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,719 Speaker 1: we do need to adjust that because sometimes when guys 1363 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,439 Speaker 1: are out but they're going to be back soon, we 1364 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:24,719 Speaker 1: don't remove them, and quarterback sometimes is worth a few points. 1365 01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:27,840 Speaker 1: We still have Boprabula in there. I didn't notice that 1366 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,719 Speaker 1: until too late today. There's not a huge gap between 1367 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,599 Speaker 1: him and the backup there. Maybe a couple of points, though, 1368 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,599 Speaker 1: so I would venture to think Missouri, once we make 1369 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,000 Speaker 1: that adjustment, may fall out of the top twenty. But 1370 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 1: right now they're number sixteen, USC is fifteen. Some interesting 1371 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,680 Speaker 1: movement in the Big twelve here, Texas Tech is fourteenth 1372 01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:53,679 Speaker 1: and Oklahoma's thirteenth, in Utah is twelve. The Model actually 1373 01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,799 Speaker 1: has Utah's the highest power rated team in the Big twelve. 1374 01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:01,960 Speaker 1: That is a change. Utah's up four spots from last week, 1375 01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:07,360 Speaker 1: and they overtook Texas Tech. Now you may think to yourself, wait, 1376 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 1: didn't they already play? Yes? They did, and didn't they 1377 01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:16,599 Speaker 1: play in Utah's home building? Yes, and didn't Texas Tech 1378 01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:20,680 Speaker 1: roll them? They did? So what does this mean? It 1379 01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,320 Speaker 1: means the model would favor Utah against Texas Tech if 1380 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,639 Speaker 1: they played in the Big twelve title game right now, 1381 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 1: And I'll have to hit FanDuel up and see what 1382 01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 1: they think about that. But yeah, just a little interesting 1383 01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,000 Speaker 1: thing to note. That's been a trend for a few weeks. 1384 01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 1: I've been telling you for a few weeks if those 1385 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,360 Speaker 1: two teams play, that spread's not going to be nearly 1386 01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 1: as big, at least in the model as you think 1387 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:47,920 Speaker 1: it may be. Texas is at eleven. Whoo. So here 1388 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 1: we are. We're at the week of this game between 1389 01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,599 Speaker 1: Texas and Vanderbilt, and everyone's been wondering, Oh, what would 1390 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,200 Speaker 1: the spread be? What would the spread be? Well without Arch? 1391 01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 1: Now this is with Arch, but without Arch. Texas a 1392 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:04,400 Speaker 1: short favorite at home, but Texas is an implied one 1393 01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 1: point dog on the neutral field. That shows you the 1394 01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 1: model shocker of the year here is a little bit 1395 01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:18,800 Speaker 1: higher on Texas than FanDuel is. I know it's not 1396 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:20,920 Speaker 1: like the model to be drunk on Texas, but it 1397 01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,000 Speaker 1: is just this. Once we continue shame on the model. 1398 01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee is in the top ten. Tennessee's at number ten, 1399 01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 1: Miami is at number nine. Miami dropped two spots. I 1400 01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,960 Speaker 1: think the model looked at that first half performance last 1401 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,639 Speaker 1: week and set home on a second. I think that's 1402 01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:41,080 Speaker 1: all it said. We've got Notre Dame at number eight, 1403 01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:44,200 Speaker 1: So Notre Dame's ahead of Miami where I think they 1404 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 1: should be. Oregon's number seven. Oregon is down four spots. 1405 01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,360 Speaker 1: They struggled against Wisconsin. It was in a rainstorm. I 1406 01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:53,640 Speaker 1: know a lot of you didn't see that. It was 1407 01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:57,519 Speaker 1: gross weather. They beat Wisconsin. The Model did ding them 1408 01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:02,160 Speaker 1: because they performed well below expectation. They play at Iowa 1409 01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,400 Speaker 1: next week. Iowa's number twenty. That's gonna be a tough 1410 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 1: game for them. Don't just overlook that. People keep saying, Oh, Oregon, man, 1411 01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 1: they've got a two game season left. They got USC 1412 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,360 Speaker 1: and Washington at the end of the year. They got 1413 01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,719 Speaker 1: Iowa next week. Let's keep an eye on that. Georgia 1414 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,599 Speaker 1: is at number six Top five. Ole Miss has cracked 1415 01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:23,560 Speaker 1: the top five. They're up four spots. Ole Miss is 1416 01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:26,880 Speaker 1: number five. Believe that's the highest they've been in the 1417 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,760 Speaker 1: power rating. Bama is four. A and M is up 1418 01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:33,519 Speaker 1: five spots two three, and then it's Indiana to Ohio 1419 01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:38,120 Speaker 1: State one. The gap between Ohio State and Indiana is 1420 01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,599 Speaker 1: two and a half points right now. The gap between 1421 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 1: Ohio State and the next closest team, which is A 1422 01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,599 Speaker 1: and M, is five points right now. So we got 1423 01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,720 Speaker 1: a gap. We got a gap between Ohio State and 1424 01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 1: not a huge one between them in Indiana. But the 1425 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 1: important thing to note is the Model is sitting there 1426 01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,720 Speaker 1: solidly telling you two best teams in the country in 1427 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:08,959 Speaker 1: the Big ten right now, and then third, four, fifth, sixth, tenth, eleventh, sixteenth, eighteenth, nineteenth. 1428 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,160 Speaker 1: It's just a bunch of SEC teams, but there's not 1429 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 1: a great one. They're just a bunch of pretty good ones. 1430 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 1: We'll see what that means come playoff time, because if 1431 01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:21,680 Speaker 1: that holds steady, it doesn't matter how deep the SEC is. 1432 01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:24,040 Speaker 1: Ohio State's just gonna win a national title and it 1433 01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 1: don't really matter how many SEC teams they gotta go 1434 01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,960 Speaker 1: through to do it, or do we have a situation 1435 01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 1: where Ohio State doesn't get tested nearly as much as 1436 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:33,639 Speaker 1: those teams do, and then it pays dividends for those 1437 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,760 Speaker 1: teams in the playoff. Don't know. That's why we're gonna 1438 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,679 Speaker 1: play the playoff. But the gap between number three and nine, 1439 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,120 Speaker 1: which is the gap between Texas A and m and Miami, 1440 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 1: is two and a half points. So there's a wider 1441 01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,560 Speaker 1: gap between number one and number three than there is 1442 01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:51,560 Speaker 1: between number three and number nine right now. Just some 1443 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:55,720 Speaker 1: interesting math there. I thought, let's move on. I've got 1444 01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:58,599 Speaker 1: great news. We're gonna give away some money. I always 1445 01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 1: push fan duel for this. They're all like, hey, man, 1446 01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 1: we care about the customers. And I said, are you 1447 01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:06,600 Speaker 1: serious about that? Yes, give them money. And eventually they 1448 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,880 Speaker 1: were like okay, and I said really and they said yes. 1449 01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:12,880 Speaker 1: So about a month ago, we gave away one thousand 1450 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 1: dollars in bonus bets and I said to FanDuel, that 1451 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:21,200 Speaker 1: went very well. They agreed, So I said, let's dial 1452 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 1: it up a notch. Let's increase our unit size. If 1453 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 1: you will, no immunity, know your betting terminology. So tonight 1454 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,599 Speaker 1: we're giving away twenty five hundred dollars in bonus bets 1455 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: over the next twenty four hours. We're doing this all right. 1456 01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,479 Speaker 1: So here's what you need to do. There's no strings 1457 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: attached here.
