Tuesday night we were. 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: About one or two results away from a cataclysmic coaching 7 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: carousel kicking into gear. Well it's kicked into gear. James 8 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: Franklin has lost his job. He is out as Penn 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: State head coach. Trent dil For also out at UAB. 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: I'll let you guess which one we're going to lead 11 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: the show with.

A ton 13 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: happened yesterday, so we got to talk about all that 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: on top of James Franklin being fired. The AP pole 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: is out, and that's about as much as I can 16 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: say for the AP pole. But you know what, they're 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: starting to get their act together. I cannot say the 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: same for SEC officiating. It is a disaster the likes 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: of which I don't know that I've seen in a 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: long time.

Subscribe to the channel in the podcast. That's it, Okay, 60 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: let's dive into the show. 61 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: Huge news. 62 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: James Franklin is out as of about lunchtime today as 63 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: head coach of Penn State. Fifteen days ago, James Franklin 64 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: was the head coach of a top five team up 65 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: seven in overtime against Oregon. Today he is out of 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: a job. He is unemployed as of today. I told 67 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: you at the conclusion of that game the following night 68 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: that Oregon loss was more than one game, and I 69 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: know the glass half full approach to that was, oh, 70 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: it's just one conference loss. 71 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: Well it wasn't. It wasn't. 72 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: If you know Penn State football, you know that was 73 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: a lot more than just one loss. The reason it 74 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: was a lot more than one loss because that team 75 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: was on the brink. It was built in such a 76 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: way they hoped that it could compete for the richest 77 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: prize that this sport has to offer. The problem with 78 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: that in the modern age is if that's how you're geared, 79 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: that's how you're engineered your team, and then they realize, uh, 80 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: oh we're going to fall short of that. They really 81 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: could just take the foot off the gas permanently. And 82 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 1: that's what happened to Penn State football this year. Long 83 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: story short, much longer story told. They never should have 84 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: gone and higher gym knowles Andy Colet and Nicky married 85 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: up and Drew Aler was oil and water offensively, but 86 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: that's the longer story. The shorter version is James Franklin 87 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: in his twelfth season as the head coach at Penn State, 88 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: double digit win seasons the last three years, thirty four 89 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: and eight, the last three years, two college football playoff 90 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: wins last year, one play away from the national title 91 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: game last year. 92 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: Is no longer good. 93 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: Enough to be the head coach at Penn State. That's 94 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: the short version of that. In fact, James Franklin was 95 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: so out of place, was so ill qualified to be 96 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: the head coach of Penn State now and moving forward, 97 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: that they were willing to pay him somewhere along the 98 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: lines of fifty million dollars not to coach there anymore. 99 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: That's how certain they are. They think they can do 100 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: better than James Franklin. I think they're insane, but that's 101 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: how much better they think they can do than James Franklin. Now, 102 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: I'm old enough to have remembered when Florida was ignorant 103 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: enough to feel the same way and got rid of 104 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: Dan Mullen. I'm old enough to remember when Auburn was 105 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: ignorant enough to think the same way and they got 106 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: rid of Gus Malzan. Now there were moments in both 107 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: of those respective tenures when I looked and said, I 108 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: don't know if Dan Mullen's ever going to win a 109 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: title at Florida. 110 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if Malzan's ever going to win a 111 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: title at Auburn. 112 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: I have since realized that it is not ten or 113 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: trash in college football. It's not the top rung of 114 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: the ladder or the bottom rung of the ladder. There 115 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: happened to be several rungs on the ladder. That's the 116 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: nature of a ladder. And in the coaching profession, you 117 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: got the best, you got the worst, and most guys 118 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: are somewhere in between. And James Franklin, by my estimation, 119 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: was way closer to the top than the bottom. But 120 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: Penn State is sure that they can do better than him. 121 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: So they're going to pay, in this economy, fifty million 122 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: or so dollars to prove it to themselves. That's not 123 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: to mention what they're going to have to pay the 124 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: new staff, and we don't even know who that's going 125 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: to be. I've got thoughts on it. In a second, 126 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: I have listen, I need to be very respectful here. 127 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: I've got one in my midst right now, and I 128 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: got thousands upon thousands watching and listening. I know Penn 129 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: State fans were tired of him. I know what your 130 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: standard is for your program. 131 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: I get it. 132 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: I'd feel the same way. I'm up there a lot. 133 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: I love Penn State. 134 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: I get it. 135 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: You think you should be competing for national championships because 136 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: you invest every bit emotionally and financially to the same 137 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: degree that Ohio State does. Ohio State just won a title. 138 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: Ohio State's won multiple titles in most of your lifetimes. 139 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: Why can't you I get that logic, completely understand it. 140 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm also respectful that this is your program. This is 141 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: not my program, so really your opinion matters more than mine. 142 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: But the sign says it's my show, so that's why 143 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm on my show. Given my opinion, I think firing 144 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: him is insane. I think Penn State firing him right 145 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: now off of thirty four and eight the past three years, 146 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: one play away from a National Championship appearance last year 147 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: is insane, and thinking you can do better, to the 148 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: tune of paying fifty million in buyout money to prove 149 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: it is insane to me. I don't think people have 150 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: recalibrated their college football worldview to account for the modern. 151 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: Age of college football. 152 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: It's what I'm saying, You're still living in a world 153 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: and you're not the only ones where nine wins is 154 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: the floor. The best programs, the top ten or so 155 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: programs in the country. You're still living in a world 156 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: where you think nine wins that's worst case. It's not 157 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: worst case. That ain't worst case anywhere anymore. And that 158 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: even includes Ohio State or Georgia or Alabama, not necessarily 159 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: this year. I'm saying, when the worst happens, and maybe 160 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: it'll be twenty twenty nine, or maybe it'll be twenty 161 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: twenty six, or maybe for Penn State it was this year. 162 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: Nine wins is no longer the floor. The rosters are thinner, 163 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,559 Speaker 1: the motivation is different for a million day, different reasons. 164 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: The dynamics have changed to college football, and you have 165 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: got to bake in the possibility of a dead season. 166 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: The best of the best have to bake in that possibility, 167 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: and I don't think they have. I don't think fan 168 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: bases have, I don't think donors have in some cases, 169 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: I don't think administrative types have. And they have a 170 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: dead season on their hands at Penn State. Now, my 171 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: belief is what would have happened had they kept him 172 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: in places, They would have lost several more games this year, 173 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: because a dead team's a dead team. They don't become 174 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: any less dead the weeks go by, and it would 175 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: have been a really, really ugly record, and then they 176 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: would have taken drastic steps after the season to try 177 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: and change the outcome next year. Next year was already 178 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: going to be kind of a rebuild for them. 179 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: Anyway. 180 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here trying to tell you it went 181 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: the way it was supposed to go this year. It didn't. 182 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: They made calculated moves. He made calculated moves and decisions 183 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: they missed on them, and you're paying the price. What 184 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying is, you can admit all that and also 185 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: admit this guy's been really good in his twelve year run. 186 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 2: Here. 187 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: Mind you, that twelve year run is coming not too 188 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: far on the heels of some of the most scandal 189 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: plagued eras in college football history, and this guy didn't 190 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: have a whiff of it. I've been around a lot 191 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: of head coaches. I will tell you there are a 192 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: few that I have ever observed from a distance and 193 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: up close that I was convinced had the overarching best 194 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: interest of college athletics and doing it the right way 195 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: at the forefront of their decision making, more than James Franklin. 196 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: And that's not to paint him as a boy scout. 197 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is I thought he had a lot 198 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: more equity built up than this. That's what I'm saying. 199 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: So just I know where fan sentiment was. I know that, 200 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: just like with Auburn and Malson, I know how fan 201 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: sentiment had turned there. I remember it with Dan Mullen. 202 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: I know how fan sentiment had turned. But see, you 203 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: know what no one wanted. No one wanted during the 204 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: Brian Hart year to be reminded that they asked for this. 205 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: No one up to an including this moment in Gainesville, Florida, 206 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: wants to be reminded of their posts on message boards 207 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: or their calls into talk radio shows. Hey you wanted this. No, 208 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: I didn't ask to hire Billy. I didn't ask to 209 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: hire Brian Harson. 210 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no. 211 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: You asked for the previous guy who was doing a 212 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: better job to be fired. And at that point a 213 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: million variables are in play that goes for Penn State. 214 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: You don't know who you can hire. You know, you 215 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: got a lot of money up there, and you think 216 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: your job's among the best in the country, And for 217 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: the record, I do as well. But I'm not in 218 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: the job market right now. I'm happily at Pate State, 219 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: and I've told my agent do not take calls. But 220 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: are you really going to do definitively better than that? 221 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: You were the eighth throng on a ten rung ladder. 222 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: I'd love to be rung ten as well. I'd love 223 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: to have Kirby or Ryan Day or Nick Saban or whoever. 224 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: I'd love to have Dan Lanning. I'd love to have 225 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: those guys as well. How many of them are there 226 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: out there? You better have one. That's the only thing 227 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: that makes this kind of decision worth it. And I 228 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: understand the principle also that what must be done eventually 229 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: must be done immediately. I actually believe in that. I 230 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: don't think this had to be done eventually. Therefore, I 231 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: think it's insane that it was done immediately. But I'm 232 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: not the decision maker up there, So if the athletic 233 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: director or board of trustees or hoopstever in the Penn 234 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: State circle is ultimately the one that pulls the lever. 235 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: Decided we're going to pull the lever eventually. Yes, even 236 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: if I disagree with it, you do need to pull 237 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: it immediately. It's very tough for me, and now I'm 238 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: gonna speak personally, it's very tough for me to remove 239 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: the human element on this one of the one of 240 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: the There are two reasons why I don't do hot 241 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: seat talk a whole lot on the show. The first 242 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: is because it's most always speculative and clickbait ish, and 243 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: despite the fact that they call me clickbait pait, sometimes 244 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: I actually don't trafficking that a whole lot. Secondly, I 245 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: know a lot of these guys, and the reason I 246 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: never call myself a journalist is because I'm not a journalist. 247 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: I'm just a person who gives my opinions. Another reason 248 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't call myself a journalist is because I have 249 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: bias baked in all the time. I've got guys that 250 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: I disproportionately root for. The accusation we get a lot 251 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: in our business is oh, you root for teams, you 252 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: root for this team, you hate that team. Well, that's 253 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: never the case with me. I got coaches I root for. 254 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: James Franklin was one of them. I love James Franklin. 255 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: So it highly pisses me off that this happened today, 256 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: and it really kind of went down the way it 257 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: went down, all the while acknowledging it's your program, it's 258 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: not my program. But here's the third part. I guess 259 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: there are three reasons why I don't do the hot 260 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: seat talking. I don't take to it very well. There's 261 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: this belief in society that if you make millions of dollars, 262 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: you're different. If you make millions of dollars, then the 263 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: human element is ok to be removed, and fundamentally, I've 264 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: never felt that way. I don't feel that way if 265 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: you make ten million dollars a year, ten billion dollars 266 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: a year, or ten dollars a year, although the third 267 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: would be a violation and we do need to talk 268 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: to a legal type about that. 269 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: But I've never been this. 270 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: Guy that thinks, hey, if you're bringing home fifty two 271 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: and change a year, you're just like the rest of us. 272 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: But if you're making ten million dollars a year, I 273 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: don't really care how things affect your family. You know, 274 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: I don't really care personally how you feel about this 275 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: or that because you've got a lot of money. 276 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care. 277 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: I've been in both positions in life, so I kind 278 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: of have experienced it a little bit. And I understand 279 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: whether you're broker a billionaire, human emotions, human emotion, and 280 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: I do understand the fact that this guy's going to 281 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: land somewhere in the range of fifty million dollars hardens 282 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: you a little bit. If you're just a normal person, 283 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: It hardens you a little bit to feeling sorry for 284 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: someone because you look in the mirror every morning and 285 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: you know what real problems are. I can relate to that. 286 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: I know good and well what you're talking about. What 287 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: I'm also saying is if I think if I could 288 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: take you guys just around the country with me, take 289 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: you to Penn State, sit you down for a day, 290 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: spend a day with James Franklin, observe the family dynamic 291 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, watch how all in that guy is 292 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: on doing it the right way. See, it's one thing 293 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: if you find out there's all this stuff going on 294 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: behind the scenes and he took advantage of our program 295 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: or he did this wrong. He ran a foul of that. 296 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: That's a little bit different James Franklin. They don't paint 297 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: him like that because he's not like that. So the 298 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: guy just fought as hard as he could. He tried 299 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: as hard as he could. It ends up not being 300 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: good enough, and so he gets fired. That's what happens 301 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: in the adult world. A lot of us have experienced 302 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: that before. He's experiencing it. I mean, he's going to 303 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: be out of football professionally for the first time. At 304 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: at least it's the mid nineties, Jesse. We were looking 305 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: at his Wikipedia page. I can't tell if he's ever 306 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: been fired before. So all that, you know, you can 307 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: either feel sorry for it to not feel sorry for it. 308 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: I've always had a problem removing the human element. Like 309 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: I watch his daughter walk off the field, and some 310 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: people will say, oh, he does that theatrically, he does 311 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: that for show. Well, let me tell you something. I've 312 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: been in that building on a Tuesday afternoon when she's 313 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: there as well. There are no cameras around. So no, no, 314 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: it's not all like that. It's just kind of the 315 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: dynamic around Penn State. Around James Franklin I've always had 316 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: problem removing myself from that. So I always feel for 317 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: these guys because I know they're football lifers, and so 318 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: at a certain point, it doesn't matter how much money 319 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: I give them. You're working like a sixteen hour day. 320 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter your family's spending the money. You're 321 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: not really spending the money. Ironically, this is when you 322 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: spend the money when you get fired. Who are they 323 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: going to hire? Where's Penn State gonna go? I can 324 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: tell already by looking at some of the lists out 325 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: there and hearing some of the chatter, some folks are 326 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: gonna overthink the room. Penn State is open now. The 327 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: Penn State head coaching job is open right now. Penn 328 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: State is not the only major job that's gonna come open. 329 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: And I can already tell by putting my ear to 330 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: the ground, people are going to overthink the room on this. 331 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: So I'm going to do you a favor.

If you're 339 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: looking for a stud football coach, he's just in plain sight. 340 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: He's right there at Iowa State. Iowa State was in 341 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: a conference title game last year. Iowa State is horrible historically, 342 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: and Matt Campbell's won consistently there. What Matt Campbell's done 343 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: at Iowa State is right on par with what some 344 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: other coaches have done in literal national championship runs at 345 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: more major programs. 346 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: And I suggested it to someone today. Let me tell 347 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: you why. 348 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: I know there's so much ignorance in this process. I 349 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: suggested it today to a person at a place, not 350 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: Penn State, but at a place that will be soon 351 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: in the market for a new head coach. Guys, I'm 352 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: telling you it's about to be crazy. Just get ready 353 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: for it. Some of them you can tell, are going 354 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: to come open. There are a couple of major ones 355 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: that are going to come open. They are not on 356 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 1: your radar right now, so just get ready. Anyway, I 357 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: was talking to someone and it will be involved in 358 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: one of those coaching searches. They asked, who do you think, 359 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: I said, Campbell like, are you an idiot? 360 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: Campbell? 361 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: He said, own, Man, they lost Colorado last night. At 362 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: that point, I just throw my hands up. You are 363 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: not quality. You are the reason why so many schools 364 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: are tied up in buyouts being paid. You have no 365 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: idea how to properly qualify candidates, how to properly vet candidates, 366 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: how to properly filter candidates. You're looking at Matt Campbell 367 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: right now, and if the first question in your mind is, oh, 368 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: is he really the right guard for the job? I mean, 369 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: they lost to Colorado last night. I happened to watch 370 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: a lot of Iowa State, so yeah, they sure didn't 371 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: lose to Colorado. Down a starting tailback, lost their nose 372 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: guard in the game, down two starting corners for the year, 373 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: just sent two wide receivers to the draft again from 374 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: Iowa State. I believe they were down to their thirst 375 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: string kicker. Yeah, man, Iowa States sure did come up 376 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: short last night. Coaching season, coaching carousel season, man insanity. 377 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: I will say this again, and I will move on, 378 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: because we got a lot of show. 379 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: To get to. 380 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: You have never been more underwhelmed than you would be 381 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: if I could take you behind the curtain and you 382 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: could watch how coaching searches actually operate. And if you 383 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: want evidence of that, look no further than Chapel Hill, 384 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: North Carolina, where Bill Belichick is inexplicably the current head 385 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: coach at North Carolina. How did that happen? Because all 386 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: the wrong people get involved in coaching searches. And just 387 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: as sure as I say that, I'll go look at 388 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: the live chat later, I'll look at comments. I'm using 389 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: Campbell as an example because I think you'll win. Anywhere 390 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: he goes, there will be people who look at Matt 391 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: Campbell and just oh, Matt Campbell. They'll dismiss it like 392 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: you had no clue what actually wins in college football. 393 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: So whatever, I'll keep him an Eyewa state. I'm just saying. 394 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: So many people are gonna ask who I would hire. 395 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: I'd hire Matt Campbell in a nano second, if you 396 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: can get him, if you can get him quick trip 397 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: fueling us no matter where we go. I mean, look, 398 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 1: James Franklin, I picture him like Andy Dufrain. Now, he 399 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: didn't want to break out of Penn State, so it 400 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: wasn't Shawshank in that way. But he's free now, and 401 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: so maybe you know his wind. His hair certainly not 402 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: blowing in the wind like Andy Dufrain. And it's not 403 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: the Pacific in his rear view mirror. Maybe like the 404 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: Gulf of Mexico or something like that. But I picture 405 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: him just cruising. Maybe he pulls into a Quick Trip tonight. 406 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: Maybe who knows? 407 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 2: You can? 408 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: Though we did, I know goodwell we did. Over the 409 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: weekend we were up in Missouri and a lot of 410 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: you were all over the place had a grand opening 411 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: or a reopening in Westchester, Ohio. Several Chalaive Supremacy will 412 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: be on the way five. 413 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 2: To be exact. For those of you who tagged us. 414 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: Make sure, by the way, when you stop at Quick Trip, 415 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: like dozens and dozens, if you tag me every day, 416 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: make sure you tag them Quick Trip. Joe's phone should 417 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: be inundated with people tagging me and Quick Trip in 418 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: your visits. But where we going this week? It's what 419 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: everyone wants to know. Eh, it's a little pretentious. Some 420 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: people probably want to know where we're going this week. 421 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: Well let me tell you where the fall don't lie 422 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: to her is going this week right down the street 423 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: to Vanderbilt. Because I promised to those people at Vanderbilt 424 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: if you win, we will be there. And they have 425 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: started winning, and we went to a game last year 426 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: and they're still winning, and we're going to go to 427 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: a game this year. LSU's in town this week. LSU's 428 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: in town. LSU off a win against South Carolina last 429 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: night that we'll talk about later. Vandy's off a bye. 430 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: I happen to believe Vandy is a very good team 431 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: that has another run in them. 432 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 2: But we'll see. 433 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: They're a slight favorite at FanDuel. Yes, you heard me right, 434 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is favored slightly against. You will be there Nashville, Tennessee. 435 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: We're going all the way to Nashville, Tennessee. Good people 436 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: in Nashville, Jesse. You got some people in Nashville, don't you. 437 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's roll on. Got a lot of people 438 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: watching live, guys, Thank you. 439 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: It's free. 440 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: You don't have to pay a dime. Just make sure 441 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the channel. That's all you need to do. 442 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: We have actual games to talk about. Not everyone's been 443 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: fired around here yet. Texas put it on Oklahoma yesterday 444 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: twenty three to six. This game was presented by Academy 445 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: and Steve Sarkisian. They're not associated with each other. Legally, 446 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: I have to say that I would give this game 447 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: to Chalai. It's a five Chalai classic if you're a 448 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: Texas fan. But if you're a fan of aesthetically pleasing games, no, 449 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: this one wasn't necessarily for you. And no, I also 450 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: want to confirm we did not get the game script 451 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: ahead of time. Although you wouldn't be able to tell 452 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: by how we predicted this game. I will go on 453 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: record of saying this, Steve Sarkish himself does not know 454 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: Texas as well as I know Texas this year. I 455 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: predicted these folks to go lose at Florida a couple 456 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: of weeks ago and got labeled a Texas hater. I 457 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: then turned right around and say, now, now, way, do 458 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: you see what happens Now, now they lost to Florida, 459 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: they will go win Red River shootout. 460 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 2: I never hesitated, did I? Jesse. 461 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: I walked into the building Sunday and I said, they're 462 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: gonna beat ou. Never change my mind, and we told 463 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: you the exact way they do it. So this is 464 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: the way college football works. 465 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 2: Guys. Why did we have Texas over Oe? 466 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: You and the JP poll that was the first that 467 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: was the first slight alarm bell that should have gone off. 468 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: How did Texas open as a favorite in this game? 469 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: A lot of people thought it was because John Matteer 470 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: wasn't going to start. Buddy, I like John Mattier starting 471 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: or not starting still to lose to Texas. Not because 472 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: I doubt John Matteer. It's because I looked at the 473 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: two teams. Hey, this was my Heisman Trophy winner, so 474 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: I certainly doubt John. I didn't doubt John mattere But 475 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: the world had already seen Texas struggle on the offensive line. 476 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: They had seen Texas struggle to run the ball. And 477 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: you know what they did. They completely ignored Oklahoma struggling 478 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: the exact same way because Texas had faced better competition. Well, 479 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: I looked at OU's tailbacks and Jay Not's been a 480 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: crushing disappointment. I really thought he'd do big things this 481 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: year and he just hasn't so far. But outside of 482 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: John Mattiir running the ball, I looked and I said, man, 483 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: they're tailbacks against power four teams are under three yards 484 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: per carry. That's not going to change against Texas? 485 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: Is it? 486 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: A very desperate, wounded animal mode styled Texas, and it didn't. 487 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: Their tailbacks had fifteen carries for forty two yards in 488 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: this game. This was about knowns versus truths. People knew 489 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: Texas's struggles, but the truth was, oh, you struggling just 490 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: as much. It's just they hadn't been exposed yet. They 491 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: were still undefeated. Well they're not undefeated anymore. And you 492 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: know what else came in play here that I was 493 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: hopeful about, but I still had to see it, the 494 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: pride and performance factor. I used that phrase a lot 495 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: last week towards Texas, purposefully number one, because I hope 496 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: folks in the building heard it. Number two, it's called 497 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: how I felt it's inexplicable for Texas to be out 498 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: of contention before Halloween. That roster's too good, that building 499 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: is too full of what I think are very high 500 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: level football people, and there's no reason they should be 501 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 1: toting a third l coming out of Dallas. Firstly, arch 502 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: Manning ended up being the better quarterback in this game. 503 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: Here's what I didn't say. Arch Manning shined in this game. 504 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: I didn't say that what I think is happening with 505 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: Arch is week over week. It's just a slow build. 506 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: He is not an elite quarterback. He did not have 507 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: an elite game yesterday. What he had was an efficient game. 508 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: There's a goose egg in THET column there. His counterpart 509 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: cannot say that he was a nearly a seventy eight 510 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: percent completion guy yesterday. It's really weird because you complete 511 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: twenty one balls for one hundred and sixty six yards. 512 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: You didn't have to push it down the field a 513 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: whole lot. Note you probably weren't going to be able 514 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: to if you needed to, but you didn't need to 515 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 1: because Texas has got an all world defense they can 516 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: lean on. It's a very complimentary game if you play 517 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: it the right way. Mateir was pressured on twenty five 518 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: or forty eight drop backs yesterday. The pride and performance 519 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: is a little something like this. Arts Manning and the 520 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: team overall kind of get stuffed in a locker at 521 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: Florida and you can either fold or you can really 522 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: emerge from that with a new mentality. And I think 523 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: the latter happened. And what happened here is the first 524 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: thing was Archs just played good enough to win. Number 525 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: two is that defense clamp down? Oh you had one 526 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: point six yards per rush? They threw three and T's 527 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: are I INT's They turned it over on downs twice. 528 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: Texas had five sacks. They just got after them all afternoon. 529 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: That shouldn't be a shock if you've watched Texas. But 530 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: people haven't really talked about Texas. The casual public has 531 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: just talked about Texas like it's tennis. It's one person. 532 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: They just say Arch. It's like Oklahoma versus Arch. 533 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 2: No. 534 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: I think Sark actually said this in the postgame. 535 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: It's not Arch. Arch is one player on that team. 536 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: This is Texas. 537 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,719 Speaker 1: It's not like he's playing at Wyoming where elsewhere on 538 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: that roster. There are no athletes like that. Texas has 539 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: other athletes like that. The answers for Texas have been 540 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: in the building. Their answers are in their building. The 541 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: players are in the building. It's just you gotta squeeze 542 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: the sponge a little harder than you thought you were 543 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna have to squeeze it to get the juice out. 544 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: But there's enough in there. 545 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: They're good enough coaches on that staff, they're good enough 546 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: players on that team. You just gotta suck it up. 547 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: Do you gotta find answers. That's what you're paid to do. 548 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: Players and coaches, the biggest inflection week of the week, 549 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: though this upcoming week will be Oklahoma. Because it sounds 550 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: like I'm dumping on Oklahoma, I'm not. I just took 551 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: a fair amount of criticism last week for pointing out 552 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: what I thought were just obvious truths, and it painted 553 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: as whatever. So now that the truth is out there 554 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: a little bit now that the book is out there 555 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more publicly on Oklahoma, Okay, Now, same 556 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: questions for Oklahoma. What are you gonna do? You notice 557 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: if you're looking at the schedule here, there is no 558 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: bye this week. They go into Columbia South Carolina this 559 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: week during October no less. And I think it's the 560 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: inflection point moment of this week for any team because 561 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: they're right now sitting there at five and one. They 562 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: play at South Carolina, then they got Ole miss at Tennessee, 563 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: at Bama, Missouri, LSU. They closed the season with five 564 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: more ranked teams, and the one that's not ranked is 565 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: this week on the road. And if you don't think 566 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: South Carolina is every bit in wounded animal and back 567 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: against the wal Mote As Texas was you're crazy and 568 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: you got to go into their building. Now you got 569 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: an early kickoff. You got lucky there. But it's October, 570 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: so anything can happen there. The run game is not 571 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: showing up, and I don't think it's gonna magically appear. 572 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: So you kind of got what you got there. The 573 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: offensive line, their ceiling is above average. It's not gonna 574 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: be a great offensive line. You got what you got there. 575 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: This is Oklahoma's pride and for in performance spot. So 576 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: yesterday was not a surprise to me. Texas is now 577 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: one of ten teams with zero or one losses in 578 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: SEC play. The SEC is a bloodbath because pretty soon 579 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: the stat's going to be one or two losses. Mathematically 580 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: that has to happen. I'm still standing still on Texas, 581 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: so a lot of people were all the way over 582 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: there now they saw Texas when they're going to be 583 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: all the way over here, and I've just been standing 584 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: still for two weeks, and I'm like, guys, it doesn't 585 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: have to be this way. It does not have to 586 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: be this violentist swing week to week. So now I 587 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: think we may be on the precipice of another week 588 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: of me having to pull people back to earth on 589 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: Texas and they're going to go to Kentucky Saturday. 590 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: And they'll probably win. 591 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you, this offense does not have 592 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: the explosivity enough to just assume Texas is going to 593 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: go roll. They do not have that. One game against 594 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: Oklahoma does not all of a sudden absolve my memory 595 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: of knowing what it knows. So you cannot assume back 596 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: to back road stretches here at Kentucky at Mississippi State. 597 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: Everyone will chalk it up as a win. 598 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 2: And do not do that. Please. 599 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: I had I had the stones to have faith in 600 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: you this week, and you made me look good. Now 601 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: make yourself look good. But remember you see, Texas is 602 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: a little different. Texas is a team that hadn't hit 603 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: its stride yet, and who knows, maybe their stride is 604 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: beneath that of a national championship caliber. But I just 605 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: want to remind people before you start talking definitively about Texas, 606 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: and I'm talking to myself as well, what did you 607 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: think about Ohio State at the end of the Michigan 608 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: game last year? The Michigan game was the last game 609 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: of the regular season. What did you think? What you 610 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: didn't think was national champion That's not what you thought. 611 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: Now you fast forward a month and a half and 612 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: you're talking about Ohio State like they're one of the 613 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: best teams ever. Why, well, they peaked in December, that's why. 614 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: So when is Texas gonna peak? What is their peak? 615 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: The reason I'm careful writing off Texas is because I 616 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: know the kind of dudes walking around that building. 617 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: Now. 618 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: It may never peak to the degree of national champion 619 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: this year, but I'm not writing them off. I'm not 620 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: writing that staff off, I'm not writing arch Manning off, 621 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm not writing them off. Let's move on, Nonder. We 622 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: got a lot of folks watching live. Fifteen thousand people 623 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: in here watching live. Appreciate it. Make sure you subscribe. 624 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: Indiana thirty, Oregon twenty. This was the surprising result of 625 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: the day for me. Well, Troy came back against Texas State, 626 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: but on the glarger scale, this was the surprise of 627 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: the day for me. This is a result I had 628 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: to see the belief. I give this game three chili 629 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: on the one to five Chili rating scale. Indiana went 630 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: in and not only did they win in Austin Stadium, 631 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: which I'm told you're not supposed to be able to do. 632 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: I think I told myself that not only did they 633 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: do that. They went in there and kind of gave 634 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: themselves breathing room. Imagine telling yourself Friday, Indiana's gonna go 635 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: up there and they're gonna win, and honestly they're gonna 636 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: throw a pick six and it's still really not gonna matter. 637 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: They're still gonna kind of just sort of win by 638 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: double digits, like what. So I was flying back to 639 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: Nashville as this game was wrapping up, and I had 640 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: intermittent Wi Fi, so I was kind of seeing bits 641 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: and parts of it and pieces of it, but I 642 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: didn't really get to watch the full game, or I 643 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: didn't even get the story on the full game until 644 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: I landed, and when I landed, it was wrapping up. 645 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 2: So here's what happens. 646 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: When you think you know about two teams, and I 647 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: thought I knew about these two teams, and then you 648 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: see a result that surprises you. Your instinct is to say, oh, man, 649 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: thirty to twenty, All right, well what happened? You know, 650 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: what's the context. In other words, it's disrespectful to Indiana, 651 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: I admit that. But you're thinking, for Oregon to have 652 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: lost period to Indiana, there has to be something where 653 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: they minus four turnovers, Did Dante morg get hurt? Did 654 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: special teams provide like twenty one points for Indiana? And 655 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: then you find out what happened. They just stuffed Oregon 656 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: in a locker in their own building. That's what happened. 657 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: There was a pick six in this game. There was 658 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: a forty four yard sort of busted coverage touchdown that 659 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: Oregon had in this game. So that's fourteen of Oregon's points. 660 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: Outside of those two, Oregon had six points on eleven drives. 661 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: Outside of those two moments, one of them defensive and 662 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: one of them credit where credits do is just a 663 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: busted play? Outside of those, Oregon had nothing. The red 664 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: zone paper popper stat of this game Indiana five for 665 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: five for twenty seven points down there, Oregon two of 666 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: three for six points. At halftime, Indiana led this game 667 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: thirteen to ten. So even if we got to that point, 668 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: or we're on Fridays, We're on Friday's look Ahead, and 669 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: I tell you what if I let you know how 670 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: the first half of this game's going to go, oh really, okay, 671 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: deal all right, Indiana is going to be up thirteen 672 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: to ten. How do you think that second half is 673 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: going to play out. I'm still betting Oregon. Even then, 674 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: I would have doubted Sig. I would have doubted Indiana. 675 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: Even if you told me how the first half went, 676 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: I would have said, Organ's about to pour it on Aunson. 677 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: Oregon coming out of the half without the lead, superior roster. 678 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: This is where they lean on them. This is where 679 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: Austin sort of sinks its teeth in. Oregon had sixty 680 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: four total yards in the second half. Just brutal, just 681 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: absolutely brutal. Indiana had two scoring drives in the second half, 682 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: longer than Oregon's total yardage. 683 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 2: Lockered. They just got stuffed in there. Just hmmm, that's 684 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 2: Oregon in the locker, could not believe it. What is Indiana? 685 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: By the way, They're a team that's going to be 686 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: favored the rest of the way. We all know that 687 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: point spread crowd loves that anti point spread crowds like, well, 688 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: games aren't played on paper. Okay, well, this game was 689 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: played on a field. I watched Indiana. They look incredibly impressive. 690 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: I did have one theory validated, and that one theory 691 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: is I have felt all year like this team is 692 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: a I won't say way better, they are a better 693 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: version of Indiana than last year was. Last year's Indiana 694 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: never scared me once they got to the playoff. This 695 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: Indiana team would scare me if they got in the playoff. 696 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: But even then, man, I just thought Oregon would take 697 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: care of business here. The model did, and the model 698 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: had Indiana as its favorite play of the week, and 699 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: I overrode the model. We see how that turned out. 700 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: They're strengthening. They are in weather terms, one of those 701 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,439 Speaker 1: sort of category two category three hurricanes that gets into 702 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico. It doesn't get sheered apart in 703 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: the Caribbean, you know, doesn't get torn apart by the 704 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: topography of the islands, and it just gets into the Gulf. 705 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 2: Golf is like bath water. 706 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: It's like ninety degrees on the surface, and there's no 707 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: other storms that have come through prior to that and 708 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: creating upwelling, which is when previous storms pull up the 709 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: cooler water. Therefore it serves to weaken the subsequent storms 710 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 1: that come through. 711 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 2: None of that's happened. 712 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: We went way more in depth there than I needed 713 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: to on hurricanes. But Indiana is they're the Cat three 714 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: hurricane that's loosing the Gulf and there's nothing standing in 715 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: its way. What keeps it from becoming a Cat five? 716 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 1: What keeps Indiana from continuing to roll. They haven't accomplished anything, 717 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: they haven't won anything. There's no thread of complacency here. 718 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 1: Signetty hates the world, there's no thread of him losing focus. 719 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza may end up playing himself into being the 720 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: top overall picking the draft, like he's got every reason 721 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: to be dialed in. That roster is full of a 722 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: lot of guys who, in many cases were told they 723 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,800 Speaker 1: couldn't play for the very teams they're fighting for the 724 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: right to play against the playoff. They're locked in, they're 725 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: zoned in, and they're not a mirage. 726 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 2: They're real. 727 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: Indiana also has this fairal group. It's about ten or 728 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: fifteen people deep that roam the internet looking for anyone 729 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 1: who picked against them, which is basically the entire world 730 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: outside of I think McAfee. And then they started trying 731 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: to flex last night like everyone saw this coming, like 732 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: they saw this coming. 733 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 2: Calm down, No you didn't. I mean, I don't doubt. 734 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: You predicted your team to win the game. But in 735 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: a general sense, the audacity of someone in this case me, 736 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: to need to see Indiana go into literal Eugene Oregon 737 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: and win a game before believing they were a legit 738 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: title contender is not the craziest idea in the world, 739 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: especially when you had a shot at Ohio State last 740 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: year and you got buried because it's Ohio State, and 741 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: then Notre Dame did the same thing to you in 742 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: the playoff. It wasn't the craziest thing to require proof 743 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: of concept from Indiana. So calm down. Now we have it. 744 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: Now we have it, So maybe I don't need the 745 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: doubt Kurt Signetti. It's not that I doubted him. I 746 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: just believed in Oregon. Maybe I believed in Orgon a 747 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: little too much. Oregon has to reevaluate here now. They 748 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,479 Speaker 1: did taste their blood early enough in the season, unlike 749 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: last year, where maybe you taste the blood early and 750 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: you taste the champagne later. Maybe that's the way it 751 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: works for them this year because they went wire to 752 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: wire in the regular season. Last year they won the 753 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: Big Ten. Then they get in the playoff, they're the 754 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: one seed. Bam done, Ohio State done, and by the 755 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: time you taste your blood there, it's too late. So 756 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: maybe Maybe this course corrects them a little bit. Maybe 757 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: this has the kind of effect on them that FSU 758 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: loss had on Alabama. Stuff happens every year. Maybe that 759 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: does happen. But they got out coached here. I'm not 760 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: telling you that, like I took the projector in the 761 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: kitchen and put it up on the fridge and broke 762 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: it down frame for frame. Dan Landing and his staff, No, 763 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:47,760 Speaker 1: they got kind. 764 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 2: Of worked here. 765 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: I think that's happened a couple of times. It's happened 766 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: two or three times since he's been up there. And 767 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: they take it ultra personal. 768 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 2: They should. 769 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: You should when someone's better than you at your job 770 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 1: and you're building, you should take it personal. I think 771 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,439 Speaker 1: they will. It's not to say if they don't face 772 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: them again in Indianapolis, they don't turn the table on them. 773 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 1: You just got to earn the right to do it. Now, 774 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: you just got to earn the right to do it. 775 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: But Kurt Signetti, the thing about him is he is 776 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: the worst enemy of many coaches out there. Not because 777 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: of his demeanor, not because of his sound bites. It's 778 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: not that at all. It's that there are a lot 779 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: of coaches out there at programs much more well resourced 780 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: than Indiana historically that are trying to sell their donor 781 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 1: base and their fan base and their administration on having 782 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 1: patients and this is a multi year process. And here's 783 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 1: what's tough. That used to fly and reality is that 784 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: is the truth. But Kurt Signetti's in Indiana doing what 785 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: he's doing, and all those fans and boosters and administrators 786 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: now look at their coach and say, wait a minute. 787 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: If it's so hard, if it takes as long as 788 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: you're trying to tell us it takes, why is that 789 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: guy doing what he's doing. Can you imagine Mike Norvel's 790 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: reality right now in Tallahassee, Florida recently reworked contract and 791 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: he's delivering the results he's delivering, and Sig is in 792 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: Bloomington in football delivering the results he's delivering. Can you 793 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: imagine trying to explain to your administration, I just need 794 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: some more time, guys, It's not that easy. 795 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 2: Boy. 796 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: There's a guy in Indiana who makes it look easy, 797 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: and that is not a good thing for other coaches 798 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: out there. Let's march on jam packed Show my Goodness. 799 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: Alabama twenty seven, Missouri twenty four. You know we were 800 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: at this game yesterday. We were on the sideline there. 801 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: I'd give this one three and a half tili. This 802 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: is a good game. I'd be interested to see the 803 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: TV number it got. It was fueled by quick Trip, 804 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: That's how we got there. We appreciate quick Trip for that. 805 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: This is a really interesting dynamic because I did not 806 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: see this game the way apparently a lot of Bama 807 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: fans saw it. I didn't see this game maybe the 808 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: way most of the world saw it. Saw it up close, though, 809 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: So that's good. Bama's the fifth SEC team ever to 810 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: defeat three ranked conference opponents in a three week span. 811 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: That according to statistician Cole Kublick. So we appreciate him. 812 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: He is now parts of stats and info for us. 813 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 1: We appreciate that. 814 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 2: You know what this was. 815 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: This is a classic Kaitlin Deboor Washington game. You remember 816 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: that twenty twenty three season when he was up at 817 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: Washington and they kept on having one possession games, and 818 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: some people me kept on thinking it would come to 819 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: an end, and some people again me kept picking Washington 820 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: to lose, and they just kept winning, and eventually you're 821 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: thinking his luck's got to run out. But then he 822 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: keeps winning. They were eight and oh in one possession games, 823 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: and eventually you just got to look at yourself and say, 824 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: maybe it's more than luck. That was that kind of 825 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: game for Alabama yesterday. And I got to tell you, 826 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: I don't get this sentiment from some Alabama fans who 827 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: I have heard complaining about this thing. They're like, we're 828 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: we're happy we won, but you have got to properly 829 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: calibrate your viewpoint and your worldview on this stuff and 830 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: your team. I looked at Alabama yesterday. I thought this 831 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: was a nightmare spot for them. We said it last week. 832 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: I looked at Alabama and I'm like, hold on, You're 833 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: off back to back really emotionally charged games at Georgia 834 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: home versus Vanderbilt. You not got to go on the 835 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: road someone else's building. They're off a bye. It's a 836 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: good team too. It's not like a poverty team that 837 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: you're overlooking. Ryan Williams best receiver talent wise, is far 838 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: below one hundred percent. Jim Miller gets concussed during the game, 839 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: he's out, and you got all that working against you, 840 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: and you still end up winning the game and kind 841 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: of controlled it most of the way. Took the guy 842 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball that you needed 843 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: to take out out of the game, and you win it, 844 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: and because it's closer than you thought it should be, 845 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,439 Speaker 1: you're unhappy with it. Guys, the line on the game 846 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: was three. For that matter, the totals fifty one. Do 847 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: the math twenty seven to twenty four. 848 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 2: Final there. 849 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure it was just a guest from FanDuel, though. 850 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: I'll give you a bad luck stat on this game. Look, 851 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: all I'm trying to say is be a little more 852 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 1: appreciative of wins. Not all of you, some of you. 853 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 1: My goodness. I looked at my inbox, I thought Bama 854 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: had lost, and then I was like, did we not 855 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: just fly back from that game? Did I not just 856 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 1: watch them win? So I'll give you a bad luck stat. 857 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 1: Bad luck stats are for the new viewers and listeners 858 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: to the show. The thing that if I told you 859 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: on Friday this stat, you would have guessed wrong. If 860 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: I told you Bama was going to run it for 861 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: under three yards per carry but Missouri was going to 862 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: be at five point eight yards per carrey, you probably 863 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: think they won the game. I would have I would 864 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 1: have thought that Missouri won the game and they didn't. 865 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: Bama found a way. This was an all hands on 866 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,959 Speaker 1: deck type of situation for them. I'm telling you they were. 867 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,240 Speaker 1: There was some adversity in this one that Alabama experienced. 868 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: There were nine different guys that caught a pass for Alabama. 869 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: Now one of those was deflected to the center. So 870 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 1: let's say eight pass catchers got involved, and none of 871 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: those were Ryan Williams. He didn't catch a ball yesterday. 872 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,479 Speaker 1: He played, but he was far less than one hundred 873 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: percent and didn't catch a ball outside of the opening 874 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,479 Speaker 1: drive and that short field that got set up because 875 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: Missouri forced to turn over early in the second half. 876 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: Bama's defense did what they. 877 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: Needed to do. 878 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: It's so funny, though, again, you got to understand who 879 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about here. 880 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 2: We're talking about Bama. 881 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: These people have watched some of the best defenses and 882 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 1: best defensive talent in the history of this game roll 883 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: through their program, so they've got an idea of what 884 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,840 Speaker 1: elite defense looks like. And this is not an elite defense. 885 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: It's just a defense that keeps the other team from 886 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,800 Speaker 1: scoring too many points. Which you may be driving around 887 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: listening to the show, you may be watching it and 888 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: you may be thinking to yourself, is the whole point 889 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 1: of the game, right, that's the whole point of defense 890 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: keep the other team from scoring. Yeah, but it's more 891 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: complicated than that. No, No, but it's really not. It's 892 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: really not more complicated than that. Missouri was one of 893 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 1: ten on third down. There's your paper popper. There's your 894 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: paper popper. Matt Hardy was under fifty yards I think 895 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: total on the day. 896 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:12,919 Speaker 2: That's it. 897 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 1: That was the guy you couldn't let take over the game, 898 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: and they didn't let him take over the game. 899 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 2: I will tell you this. 900 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: I was watching on the field and that opening touchdown 901 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: drive of Missouri was a knife through soft butter, and 902 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: you think to yourself, man, they're in for it. Kind 903 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: of reminded me the way Vandy opened against them. Bama 904 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 1: defensively notoriously poor against the opening script. Then they get 905 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: in the flow of things, and it's fine if anyone 906 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: out there wants to tell me what Demani Jackson was 907 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: doing on that opening touchdown drive and that pass feel free. 908 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: We got some very very bright defensive minds that watched 909 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: this show, and we got a lot of coaches that 910 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: watched the show. Some of them maybe even on that staff. 911 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: You want to let me know what number one in 912 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: white was doing, I would be happy to be educated. 913 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: I've watched a fair amount football. I have no clue 914 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: what he was doing. No, I mean, I'm just saying, 915 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: if I'm a defensive coordinator, I'm gonna get wrong. Like 916 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: if I'm Kane Warmack, I'm getting wrong because I'm giving 917 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 1: up an opening drive touchdown. And meanwhile, I'm thinking to myself, 918 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,879 Speaker 1: if I'm kde Walmack, I could not X or oh, 919 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: this dude into a better position. 920 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 2: He's got to make a play. One ended up. 921 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: On the sideline somewhere. He was over there where the 922 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,839 Speaker 1: photogs are. The photographers are anyway, they are. 923 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 2: Kids after all. 924 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: Ryan Williams not one hundred percent. Jam Miller out. Yeah, 925 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 1: this could have gone bad for Alabama and it didn't. 926 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 1: So what is jam Miller's status. I don't think that 927 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 1: we've gotten a public update on that. But it's gonna 928 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: be tough. I mean, it's another game week. They got 929 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee coming up. Its third Saturday in October. Week Down there, 930 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: it's cigar week for them. Ryan Williams, does he get 931 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: back to one hundred percent this year? Don't know that 932 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 1: hit Meadows took was brutal, that was right in front 933 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: of us. Don't know, and he hasn't been like a 934 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: complete focal point of their offense. But you never want 935 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: to be down guys when you're facing Tennessee or which 936 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 1: is when you're in conference play period. I thought Missouri 937 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: played like they were down three scores in this game. 938 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: Did this strike you as weird when you know their 939 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: personnel and you know their identity? They had what was 940 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,479 Speaker 1: it Jesse in the second half of this game, where 941 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 1: it was largely a one possession game, the game's well 942 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:24,879 Speaker 1: within reach. 943 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 2: They ran the ball nine times. 944 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: Bama ran it twenty five times by comparison in the 945 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: second half. Drinkwitz and his staff know way more about 946 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,240 Speaker 1: play calling than I do. I'm not questioning to play calling, 947 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm questioning. 948 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 2: Strategy there though. 949 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: I really wonder if they had it to do over again, 950 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:45,320 Speaker 1: how differently they would manage that Their tailbacks the running 951 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: back position had seventeen total runs all game. That's just 952 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 1: not the way I draw it up. Knowing what you 953 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 1: know about your guys and their guys, that's not the 954 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: way I would have drawn it up. But I will 955 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: tell you this, I would draw up the trip exactly 956 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 1: how it went. Hitting aside last week and there was 957 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,800 Speaker 1: a lot of it. I mean, we pretty much participated 958 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: and sparked a bullying campaign against Eli Drinkuitzs, and we 959 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: bullied them online because they shut the weight room down 960 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 1: for Tebau on Friday. And all I'm saying is, how 961 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: come Tim Tebow gets to do something in life I 962 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,240 Speaker 1: can't do that was my question. And to his credit, 963 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: I looked at my phone like four forty five the 964 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 1: next morning and he had texted me drink not Tebow, 965 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: and he had made it right. Truthfully, I did not 966 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: know Pres was going to run this footage, so do 967 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: not call me names. I'm not running this footage myself. 968 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 2: This is Pres. Good job. Pres. We had a great 969 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 2: workout there at Missouri, empty weight. 970 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 1: Room, best kind of weight room, and they showed us 971 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: a great time. I got to say, just like Florida State, 972 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: the week before, we take we take we take fire 973 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 1: all week from the one percent of fan base that's bad, 974 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: and we did last week from Missouri. Then you go 975 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 1: to Missouri and everyone's awesome. Just like the week before 976 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: at Florida State, everyone's awesome. So hats off to Missouri folks. 977 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 1: I cannot thank you enough. Josh Maxon, an old friend 978 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 1: of the program up there running things for him and 979 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 1: Eli Drinkins and his staff. We appreciate it. We appreciate it. 980 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. They're at Auburn this week. Like BAM's 981 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 1: at home against Tennessee Man, Missouri is at Auburn this week. 982 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 2: It just it is such a crazy league this year. 983 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: There are so many teams capable of winning the league 984 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: but also losing four games if a few bounces go 985 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 1: a certain way, and Missouri is just another one. 986 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 2: Of those teams. 987 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: Man, who if you are looking to get to any 988 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,879 Speaker 1: of these games and it is the year to do it, 989 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 1: just a quick reminder, a lot of you asked me 990 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 1: for this promo code on Saturday mornings.

Let's move on. 1021 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: We got a lot of show left to get to, 1022 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,879 Speaker 1: a lot of show. A and M handled Florida last night. 1023 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 1: Thirty four to seventeen was the final. Now, this is 1024 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,439 Speaker 1: a two and a half chali game, not the most 1025 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 1: amazing fireworks show known to man. But that's okay because 1026 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,400 Speaker 1: that's exactly how they wanted it in College Station. I 1027 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 1: think this game did a lot in a not so 1028 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 1: good way for Billy Napier. I will get to that 1029 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: in a second, but we do talk winners first around here. 1030 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Bradley kind of threw them off with 1031 00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 1: the b roll there. America is gonna overlook this game, 1032 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 1: I really think because America thinks Florida sucks because the 1033 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: record's terrible. And I just I couldn't have been more 1034 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: impressed with Texas A and M. If no one else 1035 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 1: says it, noted Aggie Homer, I am bought and paid 1036 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:38,879 Speaker 1: for by TexAgs money. 1037 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 2: Everyone knows that. Bradley. 1038 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you time. I'm gonna give you time 1039 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 1: if you're listening, if you're watching live. There's a little 1040 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 1: power hit there. So in the interest of Bradley being 1041 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,759 Speaker 1: able to cut the video later, I'm just gonna say 1042 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:53,800 Speaker 1: what I was saying again. 1043 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,839 Speaker 2: If you're watching live, just pretend like this is take two. 1044 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 1: I think America is going to totally overlook this result 1045 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 1: because A and M's playing a Florida team that no 1046 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,960 Speaker 1: one thinks is any good and the record's bad and 1047 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I'm just telling you, if no one 1048 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: else gives credit, I am. It's documented, I am bought 1049 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 1: and paid for by tech SAgs money. So I am 1050 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 1: a shill. So I'll be the one who says I 1051 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 1: couldn't have been more impressed. You know why, because they 1052 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: out rushed him one eighty three to seventy four. And 1053 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,799 Speaker 1: that's something Florida had to do in this game and 1054 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. Also, ANM owned third down. I 1055 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: would call this the paper popper of the game. Nine 1056 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 1: or seventeen on third down. Other dude one and eleven, 1057 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 1: So you limited Florida on third down. They couldn't run 1058 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,000 Speaker 1: the ball. Marcel Reid still missed some open throws. So 1059 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 1: as good as they looked offensively, like, there's still meat 1060 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 1: on the bone offensively for A and M. Now maybe 1061 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: that is just Marcel Reid. Maybe he's always going to 1062 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: have those one or two or three moments per game. 1063 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 1: But you know what caught my eye more than anything. 1064 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: You know what's more encouraging to me than anything. They 1065 00:51:55,760 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 1: weren't stupid three penalties all night boy. 1066 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 2: I'll take that. 1067 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,279 Speaker 1: Given what A and M has been so far this year, 1068 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 1: I will take that. Florida had five sacks against Texas 1069 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: the week before Goose Egg against A and M. If 1070 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 1: you're looking at how this team is taking shape, they've 1071 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 1: already won multiple kinds of games. We've talked about that before. 1072 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,759 Speaker 1: They won a shootout. They've won slugfests. This one was 1073 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 1: somewhere in between. They are a multifaceted team. They are 1074 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: a toolbox team, as we call them. They are a 1075 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,280 Speaker 1: dangerous team, and they haven't peaked. They're continuing to improve. 1076 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 2: More on them. 1077 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,879 Speaker 1: In a second, this felt like a last gasp sort 1078 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: of game for Florida. I don't know how it felt 1079 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,799 Speaker 1: to you, but they had one hundred and fifty seven 1080 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 1: yards in the first quarter of this game. They had 1081 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two the rest of the way, 1082 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,839 Speaker 1: so they just ran out of gas. And my great 1083 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,839 Speaker 1: unknown coming out of the Texas game was is that 1084 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 1: the new Florida. So did they hit another gear or 1085 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 1: was that just a one off? 1086 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 2: They didn't play. 1087 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: Terribly last night, but it looks like it was a 1088 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,920 Speaker 1: one off. And I don't know that Billy's going to 1089 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 1: be around much longer. Again, I love Billy and Apiers, 1090 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 1: so I don't like talking about that, but I did 1091 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,399 Speaker 1: wonder what the effort would be. They fumbled the ball 1092 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 1: four times last night. They recovered two of them. It 1093 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 1: could have been worse second half drives. This is not 1094 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: the Sarah McLaughlin special. We're saving that for later in 1095 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 1: the show. But their second half drives went minus three, 1096 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: minus three, fourteen eleven, minus one, forty seven, minus three, 1097 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 1: thirty one minus two thirty two. Yeah, it's not good enough. 1098 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 1: And now Florida's two and four and there are more 1099 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 1: losses coming. A and M has it all in front 1100 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,319 Speaker 1: of them like they're undefeed. They're undefeated. Does Marcel read 1101 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 1: keep progressing? Okay, that's the first question. Number two. Is 1102 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 1: their defense consistent enough? Now there could be a week 1103 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: where defense gives up thirty one, but that's okay because 1104 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,439 Speaker 1: offense hangs thirty eight. They are that kind of complimentary team. 1105 00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,360 Speaker 1: They are that this is not LSU to this point, 1106 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,800 Speaker 1: like LSU is known, we need we need standout defensive 1107 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 1: performances because we're probably not going to score enough. Well, 1108 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 1: that has not been A and M. 1109 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 2: Now. 1110 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: Teams evolve, some teams progress, some teams regress. That's the 1111 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,320 Speaker 1: big test for Mike Elco year two. Every time you 1112 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,719 Speaker 1: got a returning coach, a returning staff year one to 1113 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:24,240 Speaker 1: year two, that's the great hope that the mortar between 1114 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,839 Speaker 1: the bricks hardens to where, hey, a lot of these 1115 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,759 Speaker 1: are the same guys we had last year, but boy, 1116 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:34,359 Speaker 1: we looked better and we infused this team or this 1117 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: wall of bricks with some good bricks. Yes, yes, you 1118 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: did all that. That's what a major program does. Now, 1119 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 1: as we all know, the internet has taught us Texas 1120 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 1: A and M cannot win a national title. We all 1121 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 1: know that why they never have And what's the other evidence. 1122 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,399 Speaker 1: We don't have any other evidence. That's all you need. 1123 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 1: That's the only evidence you need. Like, Okay, how much 1124 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,080 Speaker 1: gas was in the tank for Florida was what I 1125 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 1: I wondered, Not enough. I think Napier is likely out. 1126 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 1: That's not my opinion. That's talking to people around Florida today, 1127 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,320 Speaker 1: I think billiy Napier is gonna be out it maybe 1128 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: after this upcoming game and they've got to buy. 1129 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 2: But I do believe that. 1130 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:15,840 Speaker 1: He's gonna be out and I do believe the Florida 1131 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:16,840 Speaker 1: job is gonna come open. 1132 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 2: I don't like it. 1133 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,920 Speaker 1: I think it makes sense though, like you're if you 1134 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 1: don't have to sell me on the logic behind it. 1135 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,799 Speaker 2: I get it. He's had time. The result's not good 1136 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 2: enough for you. I get it. 1137 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 1: This one would be infinitely less egregious than James Franklin 1138 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 1: to me. So if that's the way it goes, that's 1139 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,279 Speaker 1: the way it goes. I love billiy Napier, so I'm 1140 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,439 Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not gonna trash him. Do I play 1141 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 1: favorites on the show? Absolutely, I do, and that's one 1142 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 1: of my guys there. But it is a bottom line business, 1143 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 1: and the bottom line there is it has not been 1144 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:46,720 Speaker 1: good enough. 1145 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 2: So I understand it. 1146 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 1: I do get it, and I think you'll see action 1147 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 1: on that front in the not too distant future. 1148 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,239 Speaker 2: Let's continue to move lips chopped. Do we have a 1149 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 2: dehumidifiring here or something that's ridiculous? 1150 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,720 Speaker 1: Gotta be careful with the way I parsh the lips 1151 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,280 Speaker 1: because I get made fun of on the home front 1152 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: by how my mouth looks when I put lipbam on ridiculous. 1153 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,320 Speaker 1: I just want support, That's all I want. Oh, buddy, 1154 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 1: Oh this next game? Okay. Georgia beat Auburn last night, 1155 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 1: Sorry for Bradley. Georgia beat Auburn last night, twenty to ten. 1156 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: And this is a one chali game. And I apologize. 1157 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,840 Speaker 1: And there's so many different angles to take on this game. 1158 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: Somewhere out there, someone made this game the first college 1159 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 1: football game they've ever watched last night, And to you, 1160 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:38,319 Speaker 1: I apologize. We are better than this. I'm better than this. 1161 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 1: Aren't we better than this? College football is better than this. 1162 00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: It's not always this way. I promise you. It's not 1163 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 1: always this way. Officiating, before you even mention it to me, 1164 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 1: is its own story in this game. Sometimes officiating is 1165 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: so horrendously bad in a game that we give its 1166 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: own segment to officiating. So officiating, after I get done 1167 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 1: talking about the game, we're going to just talk about 1168 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: officiating on its own. That's how bad it is, that's 1169 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 1: how far beyond the pale officiating was in this game. 1170 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 1: But I promise you actually it sucks a lot. Rarely 1171 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 1: is it this bad. So if you're new to college football, 1172 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 1: please give us another chance. Please don't make this be 1173 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 1: what you go back to your soccer friends or your 1174 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 1: basketball friends and tell them is college football. This is 1175 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,560 Speaker 1: not college football. This is a clown show. And then 1176 00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: there was college football game mixed in. And it's not 1177 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 1: Auburn's fault or Georgia's fault. They just happen to be 1178 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 1: the two teams involved. Speaking of two boy, it was 1179 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 1: a tale of two halves. I don't know if that's 1180 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 1: a book that's been written, but it was a tale 1181 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 1: of two halves. And I gotta tell you, man, I 1182 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 1: thought Georgia was cooked. Hugh Freeze put on a clinic 1183 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 1: coming out of the bye week. Here, I want to 1184 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 1: take you to a moment in time. This seems like 1185 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: so long ago. The moment in time is there is 1186 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: one minute, thirty nine seconds remaining in the first half. 1187 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 1: At that moment in this game, Auburn had a two 1188 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,760 Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty yardage advantage. They had a forty 1189 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 1: four to twelve plays run advantage. Auburn at a time 1190 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 1: of possession edge of like fourteen minutes and they are 1191 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,960 Speaker 1: one inch away from making the game seventeen to nothing 1192 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,520 Speaker 1: and probably closing the door on Georgia. Probably can't prove 1193 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:28,920 Speaker 1: that definitively. Instead, the thing ends up being ten to three. 1194 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 2: We all know. 1195 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 1: Well, if you watch the game, you know the circus 1196 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,440 Speaker 1: that ensued down there on the goal line. Again, I'm 1197 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: going to talk about that separately in a few minutes. 1198 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,440 Speaker 1: Georgia flipped everything. As bad as you think calls went 1199 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: against you, you cannot allow this game to turn like 1200 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 1: Auburn did. This is not the playground, man, this is 1201 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 1: high level college football. I'm talking about coaches, I'm talking 1202 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 1: about players from the neck up. I mean, the reason 1203 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 1: so much is invested in the mental side of this 1204 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 1: game is because you should have a mental edge about yourself. 1205 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 1: He may not always have a mental edge against the competition, 1206 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: but at the very least you need to match them mentally. 1207 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 1: Georgia was mentally superior to Auburn in this game. And 1208 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: that's a product of culture. And that's a big indictment 1209 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 1: on Hugh Freeze. Frankly, I mean, a guy that I 1210 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 1: thought put on a masterclass in the first half here. 1211 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 1: But to allow your entire group, your entire locker room, 1212 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 1: your entire sideline. To be that disproportionately put on tilt 1213 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,720 Speaker 1: by things not going your way in a game was 1214 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 1: pretty inexcusable. So I'll get back to that in a second. 1215 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton got lit up. He got Aaron Murray last night. 1216 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 1: He had things done to him physically that frankly don't 1217 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,160 Speaker 1: happen in the sport of football anymore, cause it's against 1218 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 1: the rules to just hit quarterbacks like that. But Auburn 1219 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: got after him last night, and you know what happened. 1220 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton was in like three or four car wrecks 1221 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 1: last night and just kept getting better. And he's not 1222 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 1: going to go to win a Heisman Trophy and he's 1223 00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: not gonna be some first round draft pick. But man, 1224 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 1: I remember games like that when you're talking about him 1225 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: ten years down the road. I don't know where he 1226 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,440 Speaker 1: is at that point. For all I know. He's got 1227 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,919 Speaker 1: his own show, he's doing his own thing. But man, 1228 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 1: he got lit up last night. Auburn had eight quarterback hits, 1229 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 1: they had two sacks, plus he ran the ball nine times, 1230 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 1: so he got hit more than and he just kept 1231 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 1: getting better. Twenty four to thirty seven he ended up 1232 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 1: being sixty five percent completion last night, one touchdown, no picks, 1233 01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 1: ran it for twenty six yards. 1234 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:32,600 Speaker 2: Just he is such an embodiment of what that team is. 1235 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 1: If you've watched Georgia football for a long time, you 1236 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 1: watched Kirby smart for a long time. I'm going to 1237 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: ask you, do you notice something a little bit different 1238 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:45,160 Speaker 1: about Kirby and his demeanor this year? I do, and 1239 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 1: I think I know what it is. I think he 1240 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 1: knows this team has a lower ceiling than his usual 1241 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 1: teams have. I don't know what they'll go on to do. 1242 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: They may lose three or four games, they may win 1243 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 1: the national title. I don't think this is a national 1244 01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 1: title caliber team. 1245 01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:57,959 Speaker 2: I just don't. 1246 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty good Georgia team. I think 1247 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 1: it's reflected in the attitude Kirby has. And the reason 1248 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he looks bent out of shape and 1249 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 1: outside his mind and apoplectic every week is because I 1250 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,160 Speaker 1: think he understands his team. And here's what he understands. 1251 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 1: He understands what he has is what a lot of 1252 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 1: guys will call a coaches team. A coach's team is 1253 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: not always the best team you've ever had talent wise, 1254 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: it's not always the best team you've ever had in 1255 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 1: terms of ceiling. A coach's team is a team that 1256 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,960 Speaker 1: you're happy to coach, You're happy to be around him. 1257 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 1: It is a pleasure to take the practice field with 1258 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:35,200 Speaker 1: him every day because they fight and whatever they're all is, 1259 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,600 Speaker 1: they give it. It could be seventy percent of your 1260 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: best teams, but they give their all, so they're given 1261 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And what happens sometimes is you've had 1262 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 1: groups with higher ceilings, but they never hit their ceiling. 1263 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,920 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of confidence in thinking, whatever the 1264 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,200 Speaker 1: version of this year's Georgia. 1265 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 2: Team's ceiling is, they'll hit. 1266 01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 1: And it's a pleasure to be around guys like that, 1267 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 1: and I think that's reflected in Kirby Smart's attitude. Now, 1268 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,640 Speaker 1: I will say the trade off there is maybe they 1269 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 1: don't go on to win a national title. I don't 1270 01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 1: even know if they'll make the playoff. I think they will, 1271 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if they will. I still think they're 1272 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:13,800 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the country. Don't get 1273 01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 1: me wrong now, I'm not telling you this some woe 1274 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,600 Speaker 1: be gone eight and four hopeful for the Pop Tarts 1275 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,280 Speaker 1: Bowl kind of team. No, they're still very dangerous. But 1276 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 1: if they don't go on to win a national title, 1277 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: I think Kirby knows in the back of his mind 1278 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,640 Speaker 1: he'll remember this year as an enjoyable year. But what 1279 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 1: you got to make sure you do is in a 1280 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 1: game like Auburn, that's a rivalry game on the road, 1281 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 1: that's a place that's giving you nightmares. If you're Kirby 1282 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:39,640 Speaker 1: smart throughout your coaching career. 1283 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 2: You make sure you soak it in. And he did. 1284 01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,480 Speaker 1: He hopped up on that table last night and celebrated. 1285 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 1: And I guarantee if they go beat Florida down in Jacksonville, 1286 01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 1: that's a game the rest of the country will overlook. 1287 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,400 Speaker 1: I guarantee he's very demonstrative celebrating that one as well. 1288 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 1: And I guarantee you, as the fan base and the 1289 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 1: message boards are all up in arms about this and that, 1290 01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 1: I guarantee you he'll strike a lot more somber tone, 1291 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 1: a lot more measured tone at the podium because he knows, 1292 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,200 Speaker 1: first off, his legacy is set, and secondly, he can 1293 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,480 Speaker 1: coach as long as he wants to. But he's got 1294 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 1: one year with this group and he just strikes me 1295 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 1: as a guy who's around an enjoyable group, a kiss 1296 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 1: to coach. So that's what I'm picking up. That's the 1297 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:20,880 Speaker 1: vibe I've gotten from them. As for Auburn, I assume 1298 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:25,280 Speaker 1: this was Auburn's fastball. Jackson Arnold was their leading rusher 1299 01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 1: in this game. Their longest pass play was eighteen yards. 1300 01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 1: Now they tried a couple of more times to push 1301 01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 1: it down the field, but they still really can't do it. 1302 01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Arnold had more time, relatively speaking, but he was still 1303 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 1: pressured on fourteen of thirty eight dropbacks. If there was 1304 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 1: going to be a moment, in other words, for the 1305 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 1: Auburn offense to click, to find itself, to find something, 1306 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 1: it would have been this game. George is one of 1307 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,360 Speaker 1: the worst pressure teams they'll see the whole year. It's 1308 01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 1: ironic cause that's Georgia, but that's what they are this year. 1309 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 1: And Auburn had the bye week to get ready and 1310 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,560 Speaker 1: to self scout themselves and do a thorough internal review, 1311 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: and this is what they came out of the gate with. 1312 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,479 Speaker 1: This was their fastball. They hung ten points at home, 1313 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 1: and now Missouri's coming in this week, and I will 1314 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 1: say I have written on my piece of paper here. 1315 01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 1: Missouri game is very big. The word vary is in 1316 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:20,680 Speaker 1: all caps. I'm not just telling you the Missouri game 1317 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 1: is big in terms of league standings. If you're picking 1318 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 1: up what I'm putting down, there so lot going on, 1319 01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: a lot going on at Auburn. The officiating in this 1320 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 1: game was a travesty. Okay, The officiating in the Georgia 1321 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:39,920 Speaker 1: Auburn game was as bad as college football officiating has 1322 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 1: been in a long time. And college football officiating has 1323 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 1: been very inconsistent and largely a joke for quite a 1324 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,720 Speaker 1: while now. Not just bad calls being made. Bad calls 1325 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,840 Speaker 1: are acceptable, I mean, to a certain degree. Bad calls 1326 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,680 Speaker 1: are going to happen as long as humans are involved. 1327 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: Mistakes are going to happen as long as humans are involved. 1328 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 1: The lack of transparency, the lack of accountability, the lack 1329 01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 1: of a basic understanding at certain points of what's going on, 1330 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,040 Speaker 1: and the lack of answers that you get afterwards is 1331 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,400 Speaker 1: so inexcusable. Again, this is not a government operation. Kubli's 1332 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 1: calling me while I'm on air. That's also inexcusable. This 1333 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 1: is not classified intel. These are not clandestine government operations. 1334 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 2: This is not a black op. 1335 01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 1: This is a college football game that you're paying money 1336 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 1: to attend, that you're paying money in rights fees to watch, 1337 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 1: that you're being paid to coach. But it's a game 1338 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's a game, and 1339 01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 1: it is a billion dollar brand, the SEC, and it 1340 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,640 Speaker 1: is the greatest sport on the face of the earth. 1341 01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,919 Speaker 1: And it is the most ridiculous nickel and dime officiating 1342 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 1: mechanism that billion dollar brand could possibly have. You could 1343 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,280 Speaker 1: not screw up how this stuff works anymore than major 1344 01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,920 Speaker 1: college football currently screws it up. So last night, in 1345 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 1: this game, from the time the two minute warning hit 1346 01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 1: to the time it was real halftime was thirty six minutes. 1347 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 1: Thirty six minutes of real time went by from the 1348 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: two minute warning to halftime. There were no injuries, there 1349 01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: were no weather delays, the clocks didn't stop, and they 1350 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 1: had to go to commercial break to reset it. It 1351 01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 1: was just egregiousness left and right. And here's the great 1352 01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 1: irony in all this, the call that was the most debated. 1353 01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 2: I think they got right. That's the irony of it all. 1354 01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:27,080 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are up in arms 1355 01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,440 Speaker 1: about the call down near the goal line where some 1356 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 1: people thought Auburn had scored, but they ruled it a fumble, 1357 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,360 Speaker 1: and then they reviewed it forever and they didn't overturn it. Guys, 1358 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 1: I thought they made the right call. What I don't 1359 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 1: want you to do is one of the big pet 1360 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,439 Speaker 1: peeves of mine in life, when there's a close call 1361 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,800 Speaker 1: in a football game. First off, stop saying it wasn't 1362 01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: even close. Obviously, at the very least, it was close. 1363 01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I think they got the call right. 1364 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,320 Speaker 1: But it was close. Of course it was close. There's 1365 01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 1: nothing indisputable here. And the second pet peeve, please stop 1366 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 1: using still frames of football games to present what you 1367 01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:09,720 Speaker 1: think is definitive proof of a spot or a possession 1368 01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,439 Speaker 1: or anything like that. That's not proof of anything. I've 1369 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,320 Speaker 1: seen the still image you're passing around. 1370 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 2: I know the. 1371 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,880 Speaker 1: Imaginary red line you've drawn on it. You're not proving anything. 1372 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,200 Speaker 1: You've got to look at it frame by frame as 1373 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,080 Speaker 1: it's moving, and the ball was probably coming out before 1374 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 1: it crossed the goal line. But at the very least, 1375 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 1: at the very least, it's not indisputable, So stop talking 1376 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,640 Speaker 1: like that. Here is what is also not in dispute. 1377 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 1: The officials lost control of the game. The officials totally 1378 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,240 Speaker 1: lost control of the game. There were several other moments 1379 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 1: that were beyond the pale egregious in this game that 1380 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 1: I could take the goal line spot out entirely. Let's 1381 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,880 Speaker 1: just pretend it never happened. Here's how terrible this game 1382 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:51,520 Speaker 1: was officiated. 1383 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:52,600 Speaker 2: Take the rest of. 1384 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,919 Speaker 1: The game, and it was still the worst I've seen 1385 01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,919 Speaker 1: in a long time. They lost control of the game. 1386 01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:59,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how else to present it. If you 1387 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 1: watch that, you know what I mean. If you didn't 1388 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 1: watch it, if you still have it on your to 1389 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: do list, don't go watch the condensed game. Carve out 1390 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,360 Speaker 1: about five hours, because that's how long it's going to take. 1391 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 1: You put yourself through this game. You will not believe 1392 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,840 Speaker 1: it until you see it. How horribly it was officiated. 1393 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,679 Speaker 1: They lost control of the game. I had, I kid 1394 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 1: you not. I cannot name names. I cannot do it. 1395 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 1: Members of both coaching staffs texted me during the game 1396 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:32,719 Speaker 1: from the sideline because there were so many stoppages in play, 1397 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 1: and they were so incredulous, like both sides so incredulous. 1398 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,920 Speaker 2: I had members of both staffs text me during the game. 1399 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 1: I've never had that happen before ever, and it happened 1400 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 1: both sides of the field. I wasn't sending them anything, 1401 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 1: they sent me something during the game. And the worst 1402 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:51,960 Speaker 1: moment I thought of the night was not the goal 1403 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,640 Speaker 1: line stuff. The worst moment was Kirby clearly trying to 1404 01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 1: call a time out and then play being stopped, then 1405 01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 1: them not charging a time out but also not calling 1406 01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,280 Speaker 1: de lay of game. And what happened there is what 1407 01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 1: would happen if you elevated an official too quickly. 1408 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 2: If I took an official who's pretty good at his 1409 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:12,639 Speaker 2: job but. 1410 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 1: Is only officiated junior high or high school ball, and 1411 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: I put him on the field Jerdenhair Stadium, eighty seven 1412 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 1: thousand and change, millions watching at home, and it's a 1413 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,880 Speaker 1: key third down and you cannot hear yourself think that's 1414 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 1: how an inexperienced official would allow the circumstances to impact him. 1415 01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:32,559 Speaker 2: You would be shell shocked. 1416 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 1: That's why they don't hire newbies and put him on 1417 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:41,200 Speaker 1: the field in the SEC on a Saturday night. No 1418 01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,880 Speaker 1: believe it or not, these guys have done this several 1419 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:48,680 Speaker 1: times before, but since nothing ever changes in SEC officiating 1420 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:51,439 Speaker 1: and trust me, the SEC is far from the only 1421 01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:55,000 Speaker 1: conference that has its officiating issues. There is someone in 1422 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,640 Speaker 1: the Illinois Ohio State game yesterday with no business on 1423 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,840 Speaker 1: this planetial ciating a high level college football game that 1424 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:04,360 Speaker 1: was on the field yesterday. 1425 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:05,759 Speaker 2: You want to know why. 1426 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,040 Speaker 1: That PI didn't get called for Illinois, will go check 1427 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,000 Speaker 1: out who the field judge is there. Again, there's inexplicable 1428 01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 1: stuff happening all over the country. You have no transparency, 1429 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,679 Speaker 1: you get no answers. Just deal with it. Why because 1430 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 1: no one's there to force the issue. There's no central command, 1431 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,600 Speaker 1: there's no commissioner, there's no oversight in college football. So 1432 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 1: it's just allowed to be the train wreck that it 1433 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 1: is every single week. But when that happened in that game, 1434 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 1: that was what had me stunned. That's the moment that's 1435 01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,640 Speaker 1: beyond the pale. That's the moment where there are no 1436 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,160 Speaker 1: guardrails and you're off the road and you're tumbling down 1437 01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,200 Speaker 1: the hill and you're thinking to yourself, how is this 1438 01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 1: an SEC football game? How is this conference that prides 1439 01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,160 Speaker 1: itself on being the best and on the cutting edge 1440 01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:52,600 Speaker 1: of everything allowing this to be how it's represented? Like, 1441 01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 1: can you imagine someone who's new to college football watching 1442 01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:01,480 Speaker 1: that garbage and thinking, oh, this is an see football game. Huh, 1443 01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,680 Speaker 1: this is insane. Yeah, it sure is, It sure is. 1444 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 1: In no world does the game just stop. In no 1445 01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 1: world is Georgia or Auburn in a situation where technically 1446 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 1: you should be running two minute offense, but because the 1447 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:19,040 Speaker 1: play stops every time, defense just gets to reset after 1448 01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,719 Speaker 1: every plane, because officials don't have control of the game. 1449 01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,920 Speaker 1: Unbelievable that it could be that bad. I saw John Cohen, 1450 01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,640 Speaker 1: who is the athletic director at Auburn, take in a 1451 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,120 Speaker 1: lot of fire because when they were walking off the 1452 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:35,120 Speaker 1: field before halftime, he was ripping an official to shreds. 1453 01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:38,559 Speaker 1: He was ripping the white hat to shreds. And people said, 1454 01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:42,320 Speaker 1: that's unbecoming an athletic director. You cannot do that. You 1455 01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,120 Speaker 1: can't allow that to happen publicly. You know, ninety nine 1456 01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 1: times out of one hundred, I'd agree with you. But 1457 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,680 Speaker 1: let me ask you something. Why can't John Cohen do that? 1458 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:55,479 Speaker 1: He's not gonna get answers otherwise. Why can't Auburn fans 1459 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: applaud their athletic director for ripping an official publicly on 1460 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,280 Speaker 1: the feet? Why is that not his play. 1461 01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:04,840 Speaker 2: You'd have a much better point. 1462 01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,560 Speaker 1: There would be more merit to your argument if I 1463 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,840 Speaker 1: knew that white Hat was gonna go to a press 1464 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,479 Speaker 1: conference podium afterwards and have to answer, you know, like 1465 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:14,600 Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze has to answer when he screws up, or 1466 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,919 Speaker 1: Kirby has to answer for that matter, the college football 1467 01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,479 Speaker 1: players have to answer. They got to go sit in 1468 01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,519 Speaker 1: front of the media when they screw up. The white 1469 01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,320 Speaker 1: Hat and his crew they're down the road. 1470 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 2: Police escort to. 1471 01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 1: The airport, and you'll never hear from them. And the 1472 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,639 Speaker 1: best you'll get, the absolute best you'll get, if you're lucky, 1473 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 1: is the league office will send you a memo forty 1474 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 1: eight hours later saying, yeah, we screwed up. We're not 1475 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,519 Speaker 1: gonna give you a win. Oh, by the way, we're 1476 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,040 Speaker 1: not even gonna find ourselves. We don't even owe you 1477 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,479 Speaker 1: any money like you'll owe us if you question us publicly. 1478 01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 2: No, it's just the way it'll be. 1479 01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,040 Speaker 1: So. I saw John Cohen running off the field. I 1480 01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:51,479 Speaker 1: had a lot of my buddies text me and say, 1481 01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 1: that's a terrible look. I texted every one of them back. 1482 01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: I'd do the same thing. The league created this because 1483 01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 1: the league allows this to be how it is officiated, 1484 01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,800 Speaker 1: how its game is officiated is a joke. The lack 1485 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 1: of transparency is a joke. If you just give more transparency, 1486 01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:14,080 Speaker 1: if just that changed, people would have less a problem 1487 01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:15,920 Speaker 1: with it. They still have a problem, but it would 1488 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,439 Speaker 1: be less a problem. But I want you to watch, 1489 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,799 Speaker 1: you watch and see what happens to that crew. 1490 01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:23,439 Speaker 2: Because this is twice now. 1491 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 1: If the league has any sense about itself, and it 1492 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 1: did after the Oklahoma game, the league is going to 1493 01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 1: have to tell Auburn and Georgia in this case, we 1494 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:39,040 Speaker 1: fundamentally torpedoed your football game. What happens to the crew, 1495 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,880 Speaker 1: what happens is there is there is there. Don't be 1496 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,160 Speaker 1: telling me that you pull them off the road for 1497 01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,240 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Don't be telling me that. Tell 1498 01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:49,559 Speaker 1: everyone that. So when I do these segments, sometimes people 1499 01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,960 Speaker 1: from the league office will say, you're wrong about what 1500 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:52,400 Speaker 1: you said. 1501 01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 2: We did take action. First off, your action is very 1502 01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,160 Speaker 2: very cosmetic. That's not action. 1503 01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,840 Speaker 1: Action is take people who aren't qualified to do their 1504 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 1: job out of the job. That's action Number one. Number 1505 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:10,080 Speaker 1: two is stop telling folks you screwed up and do 1506 01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,479 Speaker 1: something about the screw up. And part three is stop 1507 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:17,240 Speaker 1: just texting me. Why don't you answer to the public. 1508 01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:21,120 Speaker 1: The entire reason this sport gets to exist at the 1509 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:24,800 Speaker 1: level it does is because of fan interest. And then 1510 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 1: you just piss all over them and tell them it's 1511 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,760 Speaker 1: raining when you put that kind of officiating product on 1512 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 1: the field and expect them to just swallow it. Why 1513 01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 1: what else can they do? Oh, they'll show up no 1514 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:38,000 Speaker 1: matter what. It's so pathetic, and like, the people in 1515 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 1: charge of college football right now are not remotely responsible 1516 01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:45,559 Speaker 1: for how successful it is. They just happen to be 1517 01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,479 Speaker 1: next in line, you know, they just happen to slither 1518 01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,639 Speaker 1: their way up the administrative ladder, and so now they're 1519 01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 1: in the decision making position. They didn't create this game. 1520 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,600 Speaker 1: They're not the reason this game's great. They're not the 1521 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,439 Speaker 1: reason Georgia Auburn is the game it is, or the 1522 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 1: reason why millions of people are watching it. And yet 1523 01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,680 Speaker 1: for some reason, people that ill qualified to handle the 1524 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 1: moment get put in the moment. And it's very aggravating. 1525 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 1: So yes, to answer your question, I was every bit 1526 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,240 Speaker 1: as beside myself watching that last night as you were. 1527 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:15,680 Speaker 2: You. 1528 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,080 Speaker 1: And I'll calm you down though, a onesie from the 1529 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,960 Speaker 1: Peate State Store.

Okay, let's continue. We are an hour fifteen 1553 01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,439 Speaker 1: in and we still have a jam pack show. We 1554 01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:24,360 Speaker 1: still have a jam pack show. I gotta itch on 1555 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,040 Speaker 1: my nose. I apologize. 1556 01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,679 Speaker 2: Is Mike Norvel done at Florida State and they. 1557 01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,719 Speaker 1: Got beat again yesterday by Pitt And this is Florida 1558 01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,120 Speaker 1: State's eight straight conference loss. 1559 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:37,920 Speaker 2: And it's not a good conference. Guys. 1560 01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,679 Speaker 1: They are five and fourteen over their last nineteen games. 1561 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:47,280 Speaker 1: I saw Corey Clark over at war Chant just put 1562 01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,720 Speaker 1: a stat that kind of puts it in perspective in 1563 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,639 Speaker 1: one of his articles. Do you know that Mike Norvel 1564 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,600 Speaker 1: has six losing streaks of at least three games in 1565 01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:00,479 Speaker 1: his time in Tallahassee six. That's half a dozen according 1566 01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 1: to stats and info. So Jimmy Sexton, as he is 1567 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,679 Speaker 1: known to do, fleeced Florida State this last coaching cycle 1568 01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:10,920 Speaker 1: when he let it be known that Mike Norvell could 1569 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 1: be headed to Alabama and got a new buyout structure 1570 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 1: put in place. And so now, I mean, I don't 1571 01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:18,519 Speaker 1: think they can afford to buy him out. 1572 01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 2: It's fifty nine million. 1573 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:24,760 Speaker 1: Dollars if they want to fire him. Fsu Fell for it. 1574 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how else to put it. They fell 1575 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 1: for it down there. I mean it was the right place, 1576 01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,040 Speaker 1: right time, and they fell for it. So here's the 1577 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:32,679 Speaker 1: fifty thousand foot view as I see. 1578 01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:33,280 Speaker 2: At a Florida State. 1579 01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:38,320 Speaker 1: Portal reliance does not work long term. This is what 1580 01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,479 Speaker 1: I always come back to with Mike Norvel, who again 1581 01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 1: is a dude. 1582 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:41,479 Speaker 2: I love. 1583 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 1: They welcomed us down there in the spring. 1584 01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 2: I talk to him all day. 1585 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:46,799 Speaker 1: I'm going to get back to that in a second, actually, 1586 01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 1: because there's some things that he told me during the 1587 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 1: spring that I think apply right now. Portal reliance will 1588 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 1: never pay off long term. You cannot build through the portal. 1589 01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,679 Speaker 1: You can supplement through the portal. But I think twenty 1590 01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,880 Speaker 1: twenty three poison the well down there because twenty twenty 1591 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 1: three they went and got guys out of the portal 1592 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,680 Speaker 1: and there were difference makers, and they probably should have 1593 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,320 Speaker 1: gone to the playoff if the playoff committee hadn't changed 1594 01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,639 Speaker 1: the criteria on the fly. They won the acc great team. 1595 01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 1: Great team, and you probably convinced yourself that we got 1596 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:20,599 Speaker 1: a new way of doing things. 1597 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:21,160 Speaker 2: You don't. 1598 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 1: You've got to recruit, you've got to develop, you got 1599 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,160 Speaker 1: to have a foundation of your guys. And then if 1600 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,880 Speaker 1: there are some of your guys, and by your guys, 1601 01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:31,439 Speaker 1: I mean people who fit your way of doing things 1602 01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:34,559 Speaker 1: in the portal, go get them supplementally, go get them. 1603 01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 2: Don't build through the portal, because then what happens. 1604 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,160 Speaker 1: What happens is you got to keep taking through the portal, 1605 01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:41,800 Speaker 1: so you end up not having something of your own. 1606 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,800 Speaker 1: You're just taking a bunch of someone else's. That's where 1607 01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 1: they are right now. In twenty twenty three, ended up 1608 01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:49,840 Speaker 1: lying to a lot of us and ended up lying 1609 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,559 Speaker 1: to them, and they had enough hubris about themselves. Last 1610 01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 1: year they thought they could take unproven guys in the 1611 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,479 Speaker 1: portal from somewhere else, like take the number two over 1612 01:18:58,520 --> 01:18:59,840 Speaker 1: here and the number two over there, and they'll be 1613 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,040 Speaker 1: come ones here and will win with them. 1614 01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:02,639 Speaker 2: No, you won't. 1615 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 1: Turns out there was a reason those guys weren't starting. 1616 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,639 Speaker 1: So then this year they tried to go proven production 1617 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,559 Speaker 1: again in the portal. It's a total crapshoot. Two new 1618 01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 1: coordinators as well. So they're in a no man's land 1619 01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:18,960 Speaker 1: right now at Florida State because it's another lost season 1620 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,759 Speaker 1: or they're on the presipoe of it being another lost season. 1621 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 2: What are they three and three? Jesse? 1622 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,320 Speaker 1: I think they're a three loss team right now. And 1623 01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 1: they got several more losable games. I mean, when you're 1624 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,960 Speaker 1: losing like this, every game's a losable game. They've been 1625 01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,479 Speaker 1: close games, so we can say that at least on 1626 01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:38,240 Speaker 1: the scoreboard. The Miami game was close too. But there's 1627 01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:42,200 Speaker 1: another lost season. And here's what bites me so bad. 1628 01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:46,599 Speaker 1: If I'm a Florida State fan. Clemson has been mortal 1629 01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: in this little stretch here. Clemson has been vulnerable. It's 1630 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:52,599 Speaker 1: one thing if Clemson's still running roughshot the way they 1631 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:53,479 Speaker 1: did a decade ago. 1632 01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:55,880 Speaker 2: It's not the entire conference. 1633 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,200 Speaker 1: Crown has never been more up for grabs, and we 1634 01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:03,639 Speaker 1: can't get out of our own way, and it's a shame. 1635 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 1: So they go to Stanford. Next, they go to Clemson. Still, 1636 01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,040 Speaker 1: they go to NC State, they go to Florida, Like, 1637 01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,040 Speaker 1: what is there to look forward to? That's what I'm 1638 01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:16,080 Speaker 1: coming back to, and that's what I come back to 1639 01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 1: With Mike Norvel. We went down there in the spring 1640 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,200 Speaker 1: and I sat down with him and he was very candid. 1641 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:21,439 Speaker 2: Man. 1642 01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:23,200 Speaker 1: I give him a ton of credit, and we loved 1643 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 1: our visit there, and he was very honest about where 1644 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:30,040 Speaker 1: they went wrong last couple of years, really where they 1645 01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 1: went wrong, the course correction they were trying to make. 1646 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:37,760 Speaker 1: But he was very honest in saying, this may be 1647 01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,640 Speaker 1: more than a one year thing. You cannot be in 1648 01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,479 Speaker 1: the ditch they were in last year and have some 1649 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,880 Speaker 1: blueprint that just get you right back to the top 1650 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,280 Speaker 1: of the mountain in one year. That doesn't happen. I 1651 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,720 Speaker 1: don't think that exists now. I don't think they were 1652 01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:53,880 Speaker 1: foolish enough to believe it existed down there. 1653 01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:54,080 Speaker 2: Now. 1654 01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:56,360 Speaker 1: When the Bama game happened, it was kind of ooh, 1655 01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,559 Speaker 1: all bets are off. Maybe they totally course corrected. And 1656 01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 1: I had a little bit of that about myself after 1657 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 1: Week one, like I didn't know what I just watched. 1658 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,639 Speaker 1: It's week one. I got no clue. After week one, 1659 01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 1: no one does. The jello has not geled yet. It's 1660 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 1: still slotching around in the college football fridge. After week one, 1661 01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:14,719 Speaker 1: well now it has started to congeal. 1662 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:16,720 Speaker 2: I guess is the right word. Not a big jello guy. 1663 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 2: And I don't like. 1664 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't like what has settled in the fridge here. 1665 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 1: But what I took from Mike in the spring, is he? 1666 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he must have laid out like half a 1667 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:32,360 Speaker 1: hundred different bullet points over the morning that I spent 1668 01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:34,680 Speaker 1: down there. That was the day we flew from Tallahassee 1669 01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:37,720 Speaker 1: to go Stormchase in Missouri, by the way, got a 1670 01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,120 Speaker 1: tornado that day, and back on. 1671 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,839 Speaker 2: Track here, back on track. He laid out. 1672 01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 1: So many things, And what I walked away from thinking 1673 01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 1: was he fully believes everything. 1674 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:47,840 Speaker 2: He just told me. 1675 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,320 Speaker 1: There was no trying to sell you on anything. There 1676 01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,960 Speaker 1: was no trying to convince himself of something like. 1677 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:55,240 Speaker 2: He was very resolute. 1678 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,160 Speaker 1: You could tell there were a lot of sleepless nights 1679 01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,519 Speaker 1: that had gone into that, and they had pulled every 1680 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 1: lever they knew to pull, but it was going to 1681 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 1: take more than one year. So then I think to myself, technically, 1682 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:10,560 Speaker 1: that's acceptable to me. I don't know if it's acceptable 1683 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,840 Speaker 1: to a Florida State fan, but as an outsider, okay, 1684 01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,559 Speaker 1: I'm the same way with Lincoln Riley at USC. Okay, 1685 01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:18,479 Speaker 1: if you admit to me you got yourself in a 1686 01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 1: ditch because of poor hiring or poor recruiting or whatever, 1687 01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 1: as long as you present a coherent plan to get 1688 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,639 Speaker 1: out of the ditch from that point forward, like I'm 1689 01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,000 Speaker 1: willing to hit reset, I'm willing to give you a 1690 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 1: couple of years. The thing I kept coming back to 1691 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,920 Speaker 1: and the thing I will come back to now is 1692 01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:40,280 Speaker 1: even if go back to Spring, even if I resolved 1693 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,280 Speaker 1: in my mind to give Mike Norvel and his staff 1694 01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:46,920 Speaker 1: multiple years from that point moving forward to get it right, 1695 01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:49,880 Speaker 1: even if I resolved in my mind to do that, 1696 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,200 Speaker 1: I would have to answer first the question what are 1697 01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,640 Speaker 1: we building towards? I don't know what they're building. I 1698 01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:58,680 Speaker 1: don't know what the identity of the team's going to be. 1699 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:00,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what the identity of the programs going 1700 01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 1: to be. I know what they want it to be. 1701 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:06,639 Speaker 1: I'm asking what it's gonna be. What is the bedrock 1702 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:10,200 Speaker 1: of this program? Are they gonna recruit well enough? Are 1703 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,519 Speaker 1: they gonna develop well enough? These are things you're still 1704 01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,160 Speaker 1: having to ask about. I don't think that's an unfair 1705 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:15,720 Speaker 1: take at all. 1706 01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,320 Speaker 2: Man. I love Mike Norvel, but you gotta be real. 1707 01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:23,720 Speaker 1: I don't think that's an unfair take, and honestly, I 1708 01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:25,720 Speaker 1: would love to get some truth serum in him. You 1709 01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,200 Speaker 1: can't ask these questions during the season but you know, 1710 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:29,440 Speaker 1: January February. 1711 01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:31,240 Speaker 2: I'd love to know what he thinks about that. 1712 01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 1: And then the follow up question is is he gonna 1713 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,760 Speaker 1: be there in January of February. I am of the 1714 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,400 Speaker 1: opinion that Penn State was crazy to pay the buy 1715 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 1: out for Franklin. Florida State would have to pay more 1716 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 1: than that to fire Mike Norvella. I just don't know 1717 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 1: that they're going to be there, But it's not a 1718 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,880 Speaker 1: one year fix. As it turns out, they're watching us 1719 01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:53,000 Speaker 1: in Charlestown, Rhode Island, big college football town up there. 1720 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know about Arland, Texas, Panama City, Florida. We 1721 01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:00,559 Speaker 1: appreciate you guys so much for being tuned in and 1722 01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 1: let me just quickly put that in the chat so 1723 01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,600 Speaker 1: people know I'm looking. We still got a ton of 1724 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 1: show to get to. We still got the Sarah maclaughlan' special. 1725 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,439 Speaker 1: We haven't done usc Man. 1726 01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:12,920 Speaker 2: Good for you. 1727 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:19,360 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley thirty one to thirteen over Michigan two. Chalai game. Okay, 1728 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,479 Speaker 1: it's not a game again that I think the public 1729 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,720 Speaker 1: will talk about weeks and weeks from now. It was 1730 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,480 Speaker 1: a helmet Game of the Year candidate, though, how beautiful 1731 01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:26,840 Speaker 1: was that? 1732 01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,479 Speaker 2: What a blessing to have four K? 1733 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,200 Speaker 1: Some of you're up to eight K and you got 1734 01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:35,120 Speaker 1: color TV there and just biggest screen in the house. 1735 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,200 Speaker 1: Put it on, and you got Michigan in the coliseum 1736 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:42,040 Speaker 1: against Southern cal on a Saturday afternoon, bright sunshine. 1737 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:43,280 Speaker 2: Awesome. 1738 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:47,160 Speaker 1: If you were watching a college football game yesterday, that's 1739 01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 1: the one I kind of wanted you watching to get 1740 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,000 Speaker 1: a taste of what it's supposed to look like and 1741 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:55,000 Speaker 1: feel like. Lincoln Riley needed this game so bad. You 1742 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,599 Speaker 1: know it, I know it, he needed it so bad. Question, 1743 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:01,200 Speaker 1: do you remember what are those stats that were floating 1744 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:04,920 Speaker 1: around last year about USC and one possession games and 1745 01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:06,040 Speaker 1: how many one possession games? 1746 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:06,760 Speaker 2: What was it, Jesse? 1747 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,320 Speaker 1: Like four or five one possession games? They led in 1748 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter they ended up losing the game. And 1749 01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 1: then I remember we had Lincoln on the show in 1750 01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:19,320 Speaker 1: the spring and he said, we're close, We're close, We're close. 1751 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:20,720 Speaker 1: And I said, you know a lot of people think 1752 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 1: you're full of it. I said this to him. I said, 1753 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,200 Speaker 1: what would you say to them? And he said, well, 1754 01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:26,920 Speaker 1: I would ask them if they watched our games last year. 1755 01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,920 Speaker 1: We were close in every game, so we're not where 1756 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,599 Speaker 1: we want to be, but we're not far away. Okay, 1757 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,519 Speaker 1: So now you hit pause at that moment, you just 1758 01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:37,599 Speaker 1: bookmark that because you know the season's going to come. 1759 01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,599 Speaker 1: And I remember we had a subsequent show and I said, 1760 01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:43,880 Speaker 1: you know what would absolve that stat from even being 1761 01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:48,840 Speaker 1: necessary to be quoted? Win games by multiple possessions. So 1762 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 1: how do you keep the one possession stat at Bay 1763 01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,360 Speaker 1: Paper popper of a stat the best stat of all 1764 01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:56,120 Speaker 1: the scoreboard. 1765 01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:57,679 Speaker 2: Just win the game by eighteen. 1766 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,559 Speaker 1: That's how it's a great thing they figured out out there. 1767 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,320 Speaker 1: There is a difference, though, This is where I'm gonna 1768 01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:07,000 Speaker 1: draw some criticism. Probably there is a difference between an 1769 01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,640 Speaker 1: impressive win and a statement win. This was not the 1770 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 1: statement win for Southern Cal, but it's a very impressive win. 1771 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,559 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the statement would be in just 1772 01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,719 Speaker 1: a second. But it's impressive cause Mayava gave us exactly 1773 01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 1: what we needed at quarterback twenty five thirty two, two 1774 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:25,080 Speaker 1: sixty five, two touchdowns, one pick. But I'll tell you 1775 01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,759 Speaker 1: what was more impressive mayavas seventy eight percent completion. 1776 01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:29,559 Speaker 2: Yes, that's good. 1777 01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:33,679 Speaker 1: What's more impressive is USC did what Michigan was supposed 1778 01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:35,720 Speaker 1: to do. And that's a sentence that I want to 1779 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,440 Speaker 1: just take some time to resay, to restate. 1780 01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:42,600 Speaker 2: USC played the game Michigan is supposed to play. 1781 01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:44,519 Speaker 1: Because if there's a team that's going to carry it 1782 01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 1: thirty six times for two hundred and twenty four and 1783 01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:50,799 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, if they're going to have runs of forty 1784 01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:54,720 Speaker 1: nine yards, forty seven yards and twenty nine yards, that 1785 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:59,240 Speaker 1: is supposed to be Michigan. And it was USC. And 1786 01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm golf class happen them all night for that. And 1787 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,720 Speaker 1: they also, for good measure, held Michigan to three and 1788 01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,320 Speaker 1: a half yards per carry and Michigan's longest run was 1789 01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:10,240 Speaker 1: thirteen yards, and that right there is something USC football 1790 01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,000 Speaker 1: is not done in a long time. So that is 1791 01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,280 Speaker 1: very impressive. It's not the statement. It is not the statement, 1792 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,280 Speaker 1: not quite yet. I'll tell you what the statement would be. 1793 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 1: I think it's coming together on defense though, and it's 1794 01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:24,760 Speaker 1: better late than ever, and it still got a little 1795 01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:27,719 Speaker 1: ways to go. Make no mistake, all right, Michigan cannot 1796 01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,639 Speaker 1: throw the ball very well. You will be tested more thoroughly, 1797 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,800 Speaker 1: maybe as soon as this week. But the defense is 1798 01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,240 Speaker 1: coming together. They held Michigan to two of eleven on 1799 01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 1: third and fourth down, they had three sacks. They had 1800 01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,679 Speaker 1: two picks. Again, these are numbers that we haven't seen 1801 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 1: USC defense put up in a long time. Michigan's sort 1802 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 1: of in a weird spot, are they not. Michigan is 1803 01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,760 Speaker 1: four and two. They could go nine and three, they 1804 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:58,000 Speaker 1: could go eight and four. I'm gonna say this, that's 1805 01:27:58,040 --> 01:27:59,640 Speaker 1: not going to be good enough for some people at 1806 01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,320 Speaker 1: Michigan if it's a nine and three or eight and four. 1807 01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm not telling you how I feel about it, because 1808 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 1: you know that coaching changes are always a last resort 1809 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:12,200 Speaker 1: for me this day and age, more than ever. I 1810 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:15,240 Speaker 1: don't think that's where Michigan's had that. I think there 1811 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 1: are some people around the Michigan program that would look 1812 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,080 Speaker 1: at nine and three and certainly would look at eight 1813 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,760 Speaker 1: and four and say, we're making a change. And I'm 1814 01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 1: telling you that if that happens, not to be too 1815 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:31,240 Speaker 1: surprised by it, so they can control that by winning. 1816 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,800 Speaker 1: If they don't run the table and they go nine 1817 01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,479 Speaker 1: and three or worse, there's going to be some noise. 1818 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:41,240 Speaker 1: And it's not noise that I necessarily think the entire 1819 01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,920 Speaker 1: country's focused on right now, because they're looking elsewhere. Just 1820 01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,760 Speaker 1: keep Michigan on the back burner there. Now a lot 1821 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:49,639 Speaker 1: can happen there, trust me, a lot can happen there. 1822 01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:54,240 Speaker 1: Statement win, that's what they're calling this for USC. I 1823 01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:57,200 Speaker 1: want to be respectful. This is a very impressive win 1824 01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,880 Speaker 1: for USC, extremely impressive for all the reasons I just detailed. 1825 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:05,680 Speaker 1: It is not a statement. When the statement is going 1826 01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:08,120 Speaker 1: to have to be made this Saturday, you don't make 1827 01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:11,760 Speaker 1: a statement again, all due respect to the performance, by 1828 01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:13,520 Speaker 1: beating a team you're favorite. 1829 01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:14,000 Speaker 2: Against at home. 1830 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,160 Speaker 1: You make a statement by going on the road multiple 1831 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:22,320 Speaker 1: time zones away to South Bend, Indiana this Saturday and 1832 01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:25,680 Speaker 1: facing a very resurgent Notre Dame team, a team that 1833 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:29,920 Speaker 1: thinks it's going to outclass you physically, and beating them. 1834 01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,840 Speaker 1: That's how you make the statement. That's when you know 1835 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,880 Speaker 1: USC is a prime playoff contender because they're on the 1836 01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:39,120 Speaker 1: fringe of being that right now. You make the statement 1837 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:43,200 Speaker 1: this weekend. You just were impressive yesterday. The statement comes 1838 01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:46,519 Speaker 1: in six days. The opportunity to make the statement comes 1839 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:48,280 Speaker 1: in six days. Because I'm telling you, if they go 1840 01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,120 Speaker 1: to USC and they beat us, or if they go 1841 01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 1: to Notre Dame and they beat Notre Dame. That removes 1842 01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:56,840 Speaker 1: Notre Dame from the playoff. So, first off, you beat 1843 01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 1: a rival. Secondly, you knocked them out of the pl layoff, 1844 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,559 Speaker 1: which frees up a playoff spot for you or anyone 1845 01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 1: else and is fourth ly, fourthly, you solidified yourself as 1846 01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:12,559 Speaker 1: a playoff contender. Can you imagine what the USC Oregon 1847 01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:15,479 Speaker 1: game looks like? If the dust settles this Saturday night. 1848 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:18,599 Speaker 1: USC has won on the road in South Bend. Can 1849 01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:22,960 Speaker 1: you imagine the ghosts and the demons that are vanquished 1850 01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:25,720 Speaker 1: over there in Los Angeles on that plane ride home 1851 01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:29,519 Speaker 1: if they do that, Chad Chad Bowden, by the way, 1852 01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,519 Speaker 1: left Notre Dame as the GM to be the GM 1853 01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:34,320 Speaker 1: at USC. Can you imagine what this week is like 1854 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:35,000 Speaker 1: for him? 1855 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:35,960 Speaker 2: Big week? 1856 01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:39,080 Speaker 1: This is the statement week, Make no mistake about it. 1857 01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:43,800 Speaker 1: This is the statement week, one way or another. I've 1858 01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 1: got more added takeaways. 1859 01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:49,760 Speaker 2: What do we add? An hour thirty hour thirty. 1860 01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:56,400 Speaker 1: Let's see one of my favorite quotes. I don't okay. 1861 01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 1: So Cameron is in the live chat. This is no 1862 01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:03,920 Speaker 1: knock on Cameron. Cameron is making a statement about Notre Dame. 1863 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,880 Speaker 1: He said, Notre Dame is so mid from my forty 1864 01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 1: and overcrowd. That just means average blooh, Notre Dame. There's 1865 01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:13,400 Speaker 1: nothing special about it. Notre Dame would be favored against 1866 01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 1: all but like five teams in the country. Right now, 1867 01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,479 Speaker 1: just give you an idea. We'll talk about the ap 1868 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:23,040 Speaker 1: pole later added takeaways. LSU beat South Carolina twenty to ten. 1869 01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:25,639 Speaker 1: Now I saw some of the college football public calling 1870 01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:30,200 Speaker 1: this an ugly win. I saw this one a little 1871 01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:33,680 Speaker 1: bit differently. I've been critical of LSU. I thought this 1872 01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:36,720 Speaker 1: was an extremely important week for that offensive staff, and 1873 01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:40,880 Speaker 1: I got to tell you, man, this was an ugly game. 1874 01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:44,800 Speaker 1: I was encouraged by LSU last night. They won twenty 1875 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 1: to ten. They had five point five yards per carry. 1876 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:51,160 Speaker 1: They had three explosive carries, so they came out of 1877 01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:55,519 Speaker 1: this game last night. There were two turnovers inside the five. 1878 01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:58,040 Speaker 1: It kept it from being a blowout. There was a 1879 01:31:58,040 --> 01:31:59,680 Speaker 1: lot of promise in this game. I don't know how 1880 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:01,799 Speaker 1: most people watch this because there were so many games 1881 01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:05,720 Speaker 1: on The work that offensive staff put in over the 1882 01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 1: bye week was very obvious to me, and I got 1883 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:08,800 Speaker 1: to credit them. 1884 01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:10,719 Speaker 2: I got a hat tip them because I've. 1885 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:13,400 Speaker 1: Been critical of them, because they should have been criticized 1886 01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:15,639 Speaker 1: so far this year. Those are big boy jobs down 1887 01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:19,120 Speaker 1: at LSU, and they hadn't been good enough. The answers 1888 01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:21,640 Speaker 1: to LSU's problems are in their building. I feel the 1889 01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,600 Speaker 1: same way about them as I feel at Texas. You 1890 01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 1: are good enough. You just gotta angle it just the 1891 01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 1: right way, and you got to squeeze every ounce of 1892 01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:32,000 Speaker 1: potential out of this team. You're good enough get the 1893 01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:34,640 Speaker 1: job done. They got the job done last night, and 1894 01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:36,840 Speaker 1: they left meat on the bone. They were missing Aaron 1895 01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:40,840 Speaker 1: Anderson too, So I credit them. Man, that was a 1896 01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:43,519 Speaker 1: good game. That was a good performance on the ground 1897 01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,360 Speaker 1: from them. Defense is always going to be there. You 1898 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,160 Speaker 1: don't need to score forty a game. Special teams is 1899 01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:53,320 Speaker 1: outstanding for them. So play a complimentary enough style of football, 1900 01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:58,480 Speaker 1: be multifaceted enough, and that team can still be very dangerous. 1901 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:01,320 Speaker 1: That's not a team that's hit peak yet. Now I 1902 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,799 Speaker 1: say that we're gonna see him in person this Saturday 1903 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:06,360 Speaker 1: in Nashville. They're going to Vandy. They are a point 1904 01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:09,760 Speaker 1: spread underdog against Vanderbilt. And they still got A and M. 1905 01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:11,680 Speaker 1: And they got Bama and they got Oklahoma. They got 1906 01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:13,720 Speaker 1: a lot of tough games left. But you know what, 1907 01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:15,920 Speaker 1: LSU can be a pretty tough out as well if 1908 01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,400 Speaker 1: they play the style of ball. I still think they're 1909 01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 1: capable of playing. Ohio State is playing that style of ball. 1910 01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:25,840 Speaker 1: Thirty four to sixteen, Ohio State over Illinois. Illinois never 1911 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,599 Speaker 1: had a prayer here. This point spread was amazing to 1912 01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:31,439 Speaker 1: me that it was that low. And it's not like 1913 01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:36,600 Speaker 1: Ohio State one pulling away, but they just they just suffocated. 1914 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,160 Speaker 1: Illinois box score is gonna lie to you here. Don't 1915 01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:42,040 Speaker 1: look at the total yardage. Ohio State was perfect in 1916 01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:45,839 Speaker 1: the red zone defense, force three turnovers. They held Illinois 1917 01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:47,479 Speaker 1: under two yards per carry. 1918 01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:48,759 Speaker 2: They're just so good. 1919 01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:51,240 Speaker 1: Ryan Day's putting on a clinic right now. Man, This 1920 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:53,920 Speaker 1: is it could end up being his best coaching job 1921 01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:57,000 Speaker 1: for reasons. We'll probably end up talking about down the stretch, 1922 01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:58,400 Speaker 1: so I'm not going to talk your ear off about 1923 01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:02,719 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Tennis See edged Arkansas thirty four to thirty one. 1924 01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:06,679 Speaker 1: You know, the Model circled Indiana as its favorite bet 1925 01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:09,479 Speaker 1: last week, and we did not end up betting Indiana, 1926 01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:13,080 Speaker 1: and for that I apologize. The Model's second favorite bet 1927 01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:17,160 Speaker 1: was Arkansas plus the points, and I waited too late 1928 01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:18,560 Speaker 1: in the week. And that line moved from twelve and 1929 01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,200 Speaker 1: a half to ten and a half, and I state 1930 01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:24,600 Speaker 1: my regret there as well. But I talked about it 1931 01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,160 Speaker 1: a lot on the show Upset Alert Concern on Thursday. 1932 01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:28,519 Speaker 1: I put it like an eight or an eight and 1933 01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:30,120 Speaker 1: a half. In this game, I had a lot of 1934 01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:33,120 Speaker 1: people that I thought were friends of mine trash me 1935 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,519 Speaker 1: privately at least and say, how in the world do 1936 01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:39,559 Speaker 1: you think Tennessee coming off a bye at home is 1937 01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:42,599 Speaker 1: going to struggle against an Arkansas team with an interim 1938 01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:47,200 Speaker 1: head coach. You saw how you saw how there's not 1939 01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:50,080 Speaker 1: that much separation in the SEC this year. I'm just 1940 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,639 Speaker 1: telling you Tennessee's defense is a real liability, and Bobby 1941 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:57,000 Speaker 1: Petrino and that staff and that quarterback are really capable 1942 01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,519 Speaker 1: of exposing it, or at least taking enough advantage of 1943 01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:01,439 Speaker 1: it to make it a game. And here's how crazy 1944 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:05,519 Speaker 1: the SEC is. If Tennessee makes a field goal against Georgia, 1945 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,559 Speaker 1: they're undefeated, they're in the top five. So we're sitting 1946 01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:12,360 Speaker 1: here talking about them having this vulnerability. And they've listen 1947 01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,720 Speaker 1: their last two conference games Mississippi State in Arkansas, that 1948 01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:18,960 Speaker 1: defense has given up points and then Mississippi State goes in, 1949 01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:23,120 Speaker 1: gets shut down by A and M and Georgia. They 1950 01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,400 Speaker 1: gave up forty four to Georgia earlier in the year. 1951 01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:28,760 Speaker 1: Georgia got clapped down on pretty hard against Alabama. They 1952 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,040 Speaker 1: struggled against Auburn last night. So we have seen several 1953 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:36,839 Speaker 1: examples of teams flourish offensively against Tennessee and then struggle 1954 01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:39,599 Speaker 1: elsewhere to know this defense is going to be a problem. 1955 01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,080 Speaker 1: It's just the same with Tennessee as everyone else in 1956 01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:47,200 Speaker 1: the SEC. No one's perfect in that league. Everyone's got flaws. 1957 01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:50,519 Speaker 1: Everyone's dam has at least eleven holes in it, and 1958 01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:53,840 Speaker 1: every team has no more than ten fingers, So everyone 1959 01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:56,040 Speaker 1: has more holes to plug than they have fingers to 1960 01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:59,040 Speaker 1: plug them. Who does it best, that's who's going to 1961 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:01,840 Speaker 1: win the league. And Tennessee's just another one of those teams. 1962 01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,280 Speaker 1: They go to Bama this Saturday. They are over a 1963 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:08,240 Speaker 1: touchdown underdog. Third Saturday in October. Hypel has won that 1964 01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:11,240 Speaker 1: game two of the last three years, so there you go. 1965 01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:17,240 Speaker 1: Texas Tech sort of embarrassed me yesterday. Well they made 1966 01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:21,559 Speaker 1: me embarrass myself. They beat Kansas forty two to seventeen, 1967 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:25,760 Speaker 1: and I doubted them. Last week I took Kansas plus 1968 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:28,920 Speaker 1: the points. I doubted that they'd be up for this game. 1969 01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:31,720 Speaker 1: I thought, going to Houston the week before and dominating, 1970 01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:34,439 Speaker 1: having a trip to Arizona State on deck, and having 1971 01:36:34,479 --> 01:36:36,880 Speaker 1: this little sleepy game against Kansas at home, I thought 1972 01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:42,000 Speaker 1: it may bite them. And I even have received confirmation 1973 01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,800 Speaker 1: from inside the building out there that my words were 1974 01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:49,759 Speaker 1: used as a weapon inside the building, which really puts 1975 01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,040 Speaker 1: us in a no win position. Because if I predict 1976 01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,120 Speaker 1: upset alert and then the team that we're predicting to 1977 01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:58,679 Speaker 1: be on upset alert takes our words and uses them 1978 01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:01,480 Speaker 1: to fuel the team, We're in a no win situation. 1979 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:04,160 Speaker 1: We're really in a no win situation. The Joey maguire 1980 01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:06,080 Speaker 1: has put us in a no win situation. He has 1981 01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 1: put his team in a multi win situation though, so 1982 01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:11,600 Speaker 1: I guess that's really what counts, because they won the 1983 01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:14,200 Speaker 1: second half twenty one to nothing. They oh this is 1984 01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:18,280 Speaker 1: paper popper. Texas Tech ran for more yards than Kansas 1985 01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:22,800 Speaker 1: had total yards, three seventy two. That's how many yards 1986 01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:25,599 Speaker 1: they ran for. Throw the tortillas, by the way, keep 1987 01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:27,960 Speaker 1: throwing the tortillas. They are a ten and a half 1988 01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,080 Speaker 1: point favorite. At least as of a couple of hours 1989 01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:33,960 Speaker 1: ago at Arizona State this weekend. They are now a 1990 01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:36,639 Speaker 1: huge favorite to win the Big Twelve. They are minus 1991 01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:38,800 Speaker 1: one seven five to win the Big Twelve. The next 1992 01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:42,080 Speaker 1: closest team is Utah Hoops, they throttled with their backup 1993 01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,439 Speaker 1: quarterback on the road a couple of weeks ago at 1994 01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:49,040 Speaker 1: plus seven hundred. The Big Twelve and the SEC have 1995 01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:53,280 Speaker 1: totally traded places. The SEC is now the league that 1996 01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:55,360 Speaker 1: anyone could win, and the Big Twelve is now the 1997 01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,519 Speaker 1: league where it's someone and everyone else, and the someone 1998 01:37:58,600 --> 01:37:59,719 Speaker 1: is Texas Tech. 1999 01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:05,880 Speaker 2: We continue. It was bad. It was bad. It was bad. 2000 01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:12,280 Speaker 1: Iowa beat Wisconsin thirty seven to nothing. Hold on just 2001 01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:14,479 Speaker 1: a second, press, hold on just a second, Bradley, We're 2002 01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:15,760 Speaker 1: on the precipice of something here. 2003 01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:18,760 Speaker 2: I can't believe it's this bad. 2004 01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:22,360 Speaker 1: I took under five and a half wins on the 2005 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:25,360 Speaker 1: season for Wisconsin, so suffice it to say, I thought 2006 01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:28,320 Speaker 1: it would be bad. It's worse than I thought it 2007 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:29,880 Speaker 1: would be. You want to know how bad it is? 2008 01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:35,920 Speaker 1: This week's Sarah McLaughlin special the Wisconsin Badgers. They were 2009 01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:39,360 Speaker 1: shut out thirty seven to nothing by Iowa. That Iowa 2010 01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 1: thirty seven to nothing. They had eighty two passing yards. 2011 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:46,600 Speaker 1: They had eight completions, two picks. They were six of 2012 01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:51,639 Speaker 1: sixteen on third and fourth down. Here is ear muffs kids. 2013 01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:58,360 Speaker 1: The Wisconsin drive chart. Punt interception, interception, three and out, fumble, 2014 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:04,120 Speaker 1: turnover on down, punt three and out, turnover on downs, 2015 01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:07,680 Speaker 1: punt punt. 2016 01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:07,880 Speaker 2: End of game. That was it. 2017 01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:12,160 Speaker 1: People paid money to watch this performance. Iowa scored more 2018 01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:14,720 Speaker 1: points in this game than Wisconsin has scored their last 2019 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:20,920 Speaker 1: three games combined. Again that Iowa offensively inept. Iowa scored 2020 01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:23,479 Speaker 1: more on you than you've scored the past three games combined. 2021 01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:26,360 Speaker 1: It's the first time Wisconsin's been shut out at home 2022 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:32,360 Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty Luke Fickle fifteen and seventeen. And the 2023 01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:35,080 Speaker 1: offense this year one hundred and twenty nine total points, 2024 01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:38,559 Speaker 1: yards per game, one hundred and thirty, first in points 2025 01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:40,719 Speaker 1: per game one hundred and thirty, fourth. 2026 01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:45,599 Speaker 2: And explosive plays. They are headed towards their first back 2027 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 2: to back. 2028 01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:50,120 Speaker 1: Losing seasons since nineteen ninety one and nineteen ninety two. 2029 01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:53,200 Speaker 1: There is no relief in sight. I can't believe it's 2030 01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:55,960 Speaker 1: this bad. And I'm the guy who took under five 2031 01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,400 Speaker 1: and a half total wins on the season. You're Sarah 2032 01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:03,200 Speaker 1: McLaughlin special. It pains me to say the Wisconsin. 2033 01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:08,519 Speaker 2: Badgers, man, it's bad. People are asking are they going 2034 01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:10,280 Speaker 2: to make a coaching change. I don't know. 2035 01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:15,679 Speaker 1: I don't really know anyone at Wisconsin. I know Wisconsin, though, 2036 01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:18,280 Speaker 1: and it's not supposed to look like that. In the 2037 01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:23,599 Speaker 1: interest of how good teams are, the AP pole has dropped. 2038 01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:28,360 Speaker 1: The AP pole is upon us, generated by flex power. 2039 01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:30,599 Speaker 1: I have it in my hand right now. We have 2040 01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,519 Speaker 1: some movement. Some teams are moving. Some teams are moving 2041 01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:36,160 Speaker 1: a little close to where the Commissioner's pole already had them. 2042 01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:37,960 Speaker 2: But I digress. Let's take a look. 2043 01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:42,560 Speaker 1: Number twenty five is Nebraska and number twenty four is Cincinnati. 2044 01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:46,280 Speaker 1: Now where have I heard that before? Cincinnati? Let me 2045 01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:49,680 Speaker 1: remind you lost to Nebraska head to head on a 2046 01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:52,439 Speaker 1: neutral field in week one, and yet the AP has 2047 01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:54,920 Speaker 1: taken a line from the Commissioner's pole and they have 2048 01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,719 Speaker 1: put Cincinnati ahead of Nebraska. Why. Well, because the deeper 2049 01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:03,040 Speaker 1: you get into the season, obviously, the more filled out 2050 01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:06,160 Speaker 1: the resume becomes, and the body of work includes so 2051 01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:08,280 Speaker 1: many data points that you got more to go on 2052 01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:10,479 Speaker 1: than just head to head, although head to head is 2053 01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:14,320 Speaker 1: still important. So I actually agree with Cincinnati being ahead 2054 01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:15,960 Speaker 1: of Nebraska, albeit slightly. 2055 01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:16,920 Speaker 2: I'm okay with it. 2056 01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:21,400 Speaker 1: Surprisingly Utah twenty three, Memphis twenty two. Okay, Texas is 2057 01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:23,360 Speaker 1: at twenty one. I just want you to earmark that 2058 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:27,440 Speaker 1: two lost. Texas is at twenty one. Very impressive win yesterday. 2059 01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:32,040 Speaker 1: We'll come back to that. USC is number twenty ahead 2060 01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:35,559 Speaker 1: of their showdown on the road against Notre Dame. Notre 2061 01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:39,160 Speaker 1: Dame's at thirteen. By the way, USF jumped five spots. 2062 01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:42,280 Speaker 1: We already had him up a little higher than the 2063 01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:46,200 Speaker 1: AP did, so the Commissioner's poll agrees with this. USF 2064 01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:48,960 Speaker 1: was at one point I think, minus three turnovers the 2065 01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:52,760 Speaker 1: other night and still just dump trucked North Texas on 2066 01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:56,280 Speaker 1: the road. Alex Golish, by the way, as these jobs 2067 01:41:56,280 --> 01:42:00,559 Speaker 1: start opening up, make sure you have his number. I 2068 01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,160 Speaker 1: know everyone wants to look far and wide and you 2069 01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:06,080 Speaker 1: want the flashy name, and Frankly Alis Schleiss is a 2070 01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:09,080 Speaker 1: little flashy. I don't think he's all that flashy a person, 2071 01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:11,439 Speaker 1: nor does he try to be. But I mean they 2072 01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:14,560 Speaker 1: hung sixty three in Denton and Denton, how many of 2073 01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:17,320 Speaker 1: you could say that you think Ohio State's ever gone 2074 01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:18,519 Speaker 1: into North Texas and done that. 2075 01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:19,160 Speaker 2: I think not. 2076 01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:23,720 Speaker 1: Vandy is number Let's see Virginia's eighteen. Vandy is seventeen. 2077 01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:26,880 Speaker 1: That is still too low. Vanderbilt is still too low. 2078 01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:29,080 Speaker 1: We will be there, Faul don't lye tour at a 2079 01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:32,320 Speaker 1: Vandy game second year in a row. This Saturday, Missouri's 2080 01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:35,479 Speaker 1: at sixteen. They only drop two spots, which I'm okay with. 2081 01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,880 Speaker 1: If you have Bama ranked where they're ranked in Missouri 2082 01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:40,439 Speaker 1: loss to him, they shouldn't drop that much. 2083 01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:41,200 Speaker 2: All right, here we go. 2084 01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,640 Speaker 1: Brigham Young is fifteenth. They're undefeated, and everyone's trying to 2085 01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:47,400 Speaker 1: figure out where do we put them. They don't have 2086 01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:49,680 Speaker 1: a high quality win, but yet they've won all the 2087 01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,880 Speaker 1: games they've played. Fifteenth is about right to me. That's 2088 01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:55,840 Speaker 1: maybe where the Commissioner's poll even will have them. I 2089 01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:58,160 Speaker 1: do need to bump Brigham Young up a little bit. 2090 01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:00,839 Speaker 1: I doubted them last night. I thought that to Arizona 2091 01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:04,200 Speaker 1: they did not. I can't predict that, obviously, so I 2092 01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:06,120 Speaker 1: have to wait till the game happens to react to it. 2093 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:11,160 Speaker 1: Oklahoma dropped eight spots, and here's notre Dame at thirteenth, 2094 01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,000 Speaker 1: So I want to talk to you for a second. 2095 01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:17,040 Speaker 1: Notre Dame thirteen, Texas twenty one. They're both two lost teams. 2096 01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:19,439 Speaker 1: Does it make sense to you that Notre Dame is 2097 01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:20,720 Speaker 1: not much higher than Texas? 2098 01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:21,720 Speaker 2: Because I was. 2099 01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:24,479 Speaker 1: Looking at it. Texas beat Oklahoma yesterday. That's a way 2100 01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:27,920 Speaker 1: higher quality win than Notre Dame has. So Texas has 2101 01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:30,880 Speaker 1: the way better win. They both have two losses. 2102 01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:34,599 Speaker 2: I think that. 2103 01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:38,720 Speaker 1: Notre Dame having the p four wins is floating their 2104 01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:41,799 Speaker 1: boat a little higher because they've got wins. But it's Purdue, 2105 01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:45,599 Speaker 1: it's NC State, it's Arkansas. So I guess it just 2106 01:43:45,720 --> 01:43:48,040 Speaker 1: kind of comes down to what you believe in more, 2107 01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:49,640 Speaker 1: what you value more. But I'll tell you what I 2108 01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:52,040 Speaker 1: think people are really doing, which you're not supposed to do, 2109 01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:54,880 Speaker 1: and the commissioners pull certainly wouldn't do. I think people 2110 01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:57,799 Speaker 1: are projecting with their Notre Dame ranking. I think people 2111 01:43:57,840 --> 01:43:59,760 Speaker 1: believe Notre Dame has gotten its act together for the 2112 01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:03,200 Speaker 1: rest rec I do as well, but that doesn't matter. 2113 01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:05,360 Speaker 1: They'll play the games and they'll prove it. So people 2114 01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:07,519 Speaker 1: think Notre Dame has gotten its sact together, and since 2115 01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:10,800 Speaker 1: they had Notre Dame top ten preseason, and they believe 2116 01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,000 Speaker 1: Notre Dame has gotten its act together. They think Notre 2117 01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:16,200 Speaker 1: Dame has reverted to the form they thought they were 2118 01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:18,679 Speaker 1: going to be in the preseason, which means they're ranking 2119 01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:20,840 Speaker 1: them a lot more in line with what they think 2120 01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:24,439 Speaker 1: they are moving forward, which I've got a problem with 2121 01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:27,760 Speaker 1: because that is predictive. That's called power ratings, but that's 2122 01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:29,879 Speaker 1: not what this claims to be. This claims to be rankings. 2123 01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:32,160 Speaker 1: So Notre Dame at thirteen's a little strange to me. 2124 01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:36,200 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech's at twelve, Tennessee is at eleven. LSU is 2125 01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:38,400 Speaker 1: in the top ten, and I'm keeping my eye peeled 2126 01:44:38,439 --> 01:44:40,400 Speaker 1: on LSU because out of all these teams, like I 2127 01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:42,679 Speaker 1: think LSU may have a higher ceiling than Georgia. 2128 01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:44,080 Speaker 2: Higher ceiling. 2129 01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:48,000 Speaker 1: Now that assumes that maybe one day Garrett Nussmeyer is 2130 01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:50,840 Speaker 1: going to be all the way fully healthy, get Aaron 2131 01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:55,679 Speaker 1: Anderson back at wide receiver, get your ground game going enough. 2132 01:44:56,160 --> 01:44:58,839 Speaker 1: There may be a little higher potential about that LSU 2133 01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:02,679 Speaker 1: team because they play better defense. They have a more dynamic, 2134 01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:06,560 Speaker 1: more athletic defense, So there is a potentially great aspect 2135 01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:09,240 Speaker 1: to that LSU team. They're at ten right now, I'm 2136 01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,680 Speaker 1: okay with that. Georgia's at nine, I'm okay with that. 2137 01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:15,400 Speaker 1: Oregon dropped to eight. They drop five spots. You always 2138 01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:18,559 Speaker 1: wonder if you're ranking, if you're a polster, if you're 2139 01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:20,920 Speaker 1: filling out a ballot, or you got Oregon at eight. 2140 01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:23,840 Speaker 1: Penn State clearly is not ranked. Oregon's best win is 2141 01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:26,160 Speaker 1: over Penn State. How do you look at that game? 2142 01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:28,439 Speaker 1: Because I look at games and the way I ranked 2143 01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:31,800 Speaker 1: teams is I try and crystallize the value of a 2144 01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:35,640 Speaker 1: game when it happens, and very rarely do I like 2145 01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:39,400 Speaker 1: to reassignate value or remove value all that much. Here's 2146 01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:41,479 Speaker 1: why Penn State's a disaster. 2147 01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:41,880 Speaker 2: Now. 2148 01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:46,719 Speaker 1: I can't know for sure how big an impact Oregon 2149 01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:48,840 Speaker 1: had on Penn State, but I think it's a ton. 2150 01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:52,320 Speaker 1: So my point there is Oregon goes and they beat 2151 01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:54,720 Speaker 1: Penn State. Penn State season goes off the rails, Penn 2152 01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:58,479 Speaker 1: State looks terrible, and it devalues the Oregon win over 2153 01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:00,720 Speaker 1: Penn State more and more. The way I look at 2154 01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:05,360 Speaker 1: that is, why should I remove credit from Oregon for 2155 01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:08,360 Speaker 1: something they're responsible for? Because what I think happened is 2156 01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 1: Penn State loses to Oregon, and that's the reason they 2157 01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:14,200 Speaker 1: go to UCLA and lose, and that's the reason they're 2158 01:46:14,240 --> 01:46:16,559 Speaker 1: terribly in It's northwestern and there's no way to prove 2159 01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:20,599 Speaker 1: that for sure. But I'm careful dropping Oregon. I'm all 2160 01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:23,639 Speaker 1: dropping cause they lost a game against Indiana. But I'm 2161 01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:27,240 Speaker 1: also not doing that thing where I'm retroactively removing value 2162 01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:30,040 Speaker 1: from a win that I still think is pretty high caliber. 2163 01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:32,639 Speaker 1: That's what I'm not doing. I don't know how many 2164 01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:36,360 Speaker 1: voters are doing that. Texas Tech is at seven, Bama 2165 01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:42,120 Speaker 1: is at six, Ole, miss A, and m Indiana, Miami 2166 01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:45,840 Speaker 1: and Ohio. That is your top five in descending order. 2167 01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:49,200 Speaker 1: Ohio state number one, as they should be. If you 2168 01:46:49,240 --> 01:46:52,320 Speaker 1: want to go better body of work, probably Miami would 2169 01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:54,080 Speaker 1: be ahead of them. You could probably make a case 2170 01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:57,400 Speaker 1: for Indiana as well. I mean they do have a 2171 01:46:57,439 --> 01:46:59,439 Speaker 1: better win, Yes, they do have a better win. I 2172 01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:01,639 Speaker 1: saw a lot of people thinking Indiana maybe number one. 2173 01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:04,519 Speaker 1: That was never going to happen. But if you wanted 2174 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,439 Speaker 1: to argue it, okay, Indiana's up. That's the highest I 2175 01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:09,360 Speaker 1: think they've ever been ranked, by the way I thought. 2176 01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:11,639 Speaker 1: I heard fourth was the highest they've ever been ranked. Look, 2177 01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:14,080 Speaker 1: I got to give an ap credit. They have started 2178 01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:16,160 Speaker 1: to get their act together. I think in the aggregate 2179 01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:17,880 Speaker 1: they have started to pay way more attention to this 2180 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,360 Speaker 1: stuff because a lot of them had their trees shaken 2181 01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:22,320 Speaker 1: earlier in the season and they don't want to be 2182 01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:25,519 Speaker 1: caught not paying attention. And that's not a bad thing. 2183 01:47:25,800 --> 01:47:28,760 Speaker 1: That is a very good thing, as is the fact 2184 01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:30,360 Speaker 1: that you can go over to FanDuel right now. 2185 01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:33,280 Speaker 2: I don't think you can. You can bet on the 2186 01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:34,679 Speaker 2: A people. 2187 01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,559 Speaker 1: I don't think we do that quite yet, but I 2188 01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:39,759 Speaker 1: do want to tell you that pretty much anything else 2189 01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:42,960 Speaker 1: that exists under the sporting sun you can bet on now, 2190 01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:45,640 Speaker 1: as you know, or maybe you're new around here and 2191 01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:48,400 Speaker 1: you don't know. When we started the show, we went 2192 01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:52,080 Speaker 1: a long time without a betting partner. We had overtures, 2193 01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:55,519 Speaker 1: but we we just declined. When we met with FanDuel 2194 01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:59,360 Speaker 1: two years ago, we heard the pitch again. And I 2195 01:47:59,560 --> 01:48:02,639 Speaker 1: use fans like I personally have bet for a long time, 2196 01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:05,240 Speaker 1: but I was hesitant to let a betting partner come 2197 01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:07,800 Speaker 1: on the show. Here's why I wanted to do what 2198 01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:12,280 Speaker 1: are called RG reads pretty frequently responsible gaming reads, and 2199 01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:16,280 Speaker 1: most partners said no, FanDuel. Their tune was totally different. 2200 01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:18,040 Speaker 1: That is why they're a partner of ours. That's the 2201 01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:21,160 Speaker 1: only reason I would ever partner with FanDuel. And not 2202 01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:23,720 Speaker 1: only did they embrace it, they actually said, you know 2203 01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:25,519 Speaker 1: what we're working on. We're working on tools that we 2204 01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:29,080 Speaker 1: actually want you to promote. So the responsible gaming part 2205 01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:31,880 Speaker 1: of this is important to me because I have watched 2206 01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:34,880 Speaker 1: the downside of what gambling addiction can do to people, 2207 01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,200 Speaker 1: and so I have taken it upon myself, since this 2208 01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:40,479 Speaker 1: is my show, to make sure every now and then 2209 01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:44,800 Speaker 1: we weave in reminders to back away if this is 2210 01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:47,200 Speaker 1: getting a little out of control for you. To put 2211 01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:50,240 Speaker 1: another way, if you have any doubt that you can 2212 01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:53,120 Speaker 1: afford or not afford to bet on a game, you 2213 01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,840 Speaker 1: can't afford to bet on that game. You cannot be 2214 01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:58,360 Speaker 1: betting money that you can afford to lose on games. 2215 01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:00,479 Speaker 2: Shouldn't do it bit. 2216 01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:03,360 Speaker 1: As dangerous and addictive as anything else that you always 2217 01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,080 Speaker 1: get warned about. So on this show occasionally I want 2218 01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:08,519 Speaker 1: to remind you just step away. If you need to 2219 01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:10,840 Speaker 1: step away. You can have a mat game on on 2220 01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:13,040 Speaker 1: a Tuesday night without you having ten dollars on it. 2221 01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:15,840 Speaker 2: That's Okay, it will go on. You will go on. 2222 01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:16,639 Speaker 2: It'll be fine. 2223 01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:22,120 Speaker 1: But at FanDuel they have several responsible gaming type tools 2224 01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:23,800 Speaker 1: to help you out. One of them is the know 2225 01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:27,240 Speaker 1: your Play tool, and I would encourage you if you 2226 01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:29,600 Speaker 1: go to FanDuel, find that, find that section, find the 2227 01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:32,879 Speaker 1: know your Play section. There there are tons of tools 2228 01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:38,120 Speaker 1: there that work in conjunction with responsible gaming if you 2229 01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:42,040 Speaker 1: will utilize them. That helps you basically make sure to 2230 01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:44,840 Speaker 1: set your parameters and then remind you when you're close 2231 01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:47,679 Speaker 1: to them or you're exceeding them. And it's a really 2232 01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:49,800 Speaker 1: good fail safe. Again, you got to use them. If 2233 01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,160 Speaker 1: you don't use them, they don't work. So I credit 2234 01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:54,679 Speaker 1: FanDuel for doing that. They've been very proactive on that front. 2235 01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:58,840 Speaker 1: And they give us carte blanc. I mean, that's that's 2236 01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:02,519 Speaker 1: what the paper said set FanDuel. So there is no 2237 01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:04,920 Speaker 1: copy they put in front of me. They trust me 2238 01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:07,960 Speaker 1: to disseminate that stuff, and I trust them to be 2239 01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:09,720 Speaker 1: true to their word. And sure enough, there it is. 2240 01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:11,320 Speaker 1: You see it on the screen right now, and if 2241 01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:12,760 Speaker 1: you go to FanDuel you'll see a lot of that. 2242 01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:13,479 Speaker 2: Also. 2243 01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:16,519 Speaker 1: I know goodwell, there are people probably watching this show 2244 01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:19,639 Speaker 1: that that may not apply to but maybe it applies 2245 01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:21,639 Speaker 1: to a buddy of yours.

I've got two games that I'm gonna 2265 01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:19,479 Speaker 1: put on the Roma Noodle Express as best bets of 2266 01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:22,599 Speaker 1: this week, and one of them is Syracuse plus eleven 2267 01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:25,760 Speaker 1: and a half. They are playing Pitt Big do down 2268 01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:29,240 Speaker 1: spot for Pitt. I still think there's a little bit 2269 01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:31,240 Speaker 1: of value to be had in Syracuse. Now. You know, 2270 01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:34,160 Speaker 1: I love betting backup quarterbacks. Just because it bit me 2271 01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:37,160 Speaker 1: with Arizona State last night doesn't mean I'm not going 2272 01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:39,439 Speaker 1: right back to the well. We have made a small 2273 01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:42,320 Speaker 1: fortune betting backup quarterbacks in this game, and we'll do 2274 01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:45,639 Speaker 1: it again with Syracuse actually back up versus backup, and 2275 01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:48,320 Speaker 1: we will go with Mississippi State plus nine and a 2276 01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:50,800 Speaker 1: half at Florida. 2277 01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:52,559 Speaker 2: Guys, there are. 2278 01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:54,160 Speaker 1: Too many points being given in that game.

One organization is extremely highly motivated 2280 01:51:57,760 --> 01:51:59,160 Speaker 1: and the other one I think may have run out 2281 01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:02,040 Speaker 1: of gas yesterday. And there's a lot of talk around 2282 01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,559 Speaker 1: Florida football right now and Mississippi State just to sneak 2283 01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:08,559 Speaker 1: down in there, and I think hang with Florida.
