1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Did you guys see this? Were you paying attention this

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: morning like I was, when all of a sudden out

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: of note where just we get kickoff times dropped on us.

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: I think they coincide with the upfronts, which is something

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: you don't need to know anything about. It's what big

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: media companies do to attract advertisers this time of year,

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: and I think they choose these dates to release kickoff

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: times and windows and whatnot. Irrelevant point being, we found

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: out today things like, oh, I don't know, Miami and

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: Florida are going to kick off at three thirty Eastern

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: time in August in Gainesville, which just basically translates to

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: if they die, they die. But we got to get

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: a good TV product, don't we. This is the Late

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Kick Extra podcast. I'm Josh pay Walldawall College Football. I

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: posted this on Twitter this morning. I'll reiterate it here.

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: We are doing insane numbers the podcast and the podcast

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: is not even our primary source of traffic YouTube numbers

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: dwarf our podcast numbers, but even our podcast numbers are

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: off the charts. We are the most consumed college football

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: show in the world now thanks to you, and I'm

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna waste no time because of you. I've got a

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: loaded mail bag this morning slash early afternoon. Whenever you're

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: listening to this, just make sure you subscribe as you

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: listen to it. That's how we keep the show free. So,

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: as I said, schedules starting to get released, kickoff time

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: starting to be announced. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. I

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: don't know if looking at schedules does to you what

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: it does to me, but it gives me what me

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: mal would call the goosies, and the goosies are almost

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: always a good thing as it relates to this sport.

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: So yes, we will discuss that later. But let's see

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: what Pate State has to offer this morning in the

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: very very very chock full mail bag full of college

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: football questions and beyond. First up, this is from Christian

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: in Murphysboro, Tennessee. What will be your definition of a

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: successful first year of a twelve team playoff? I don't

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: even know how to answer this Questian. I guess one

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: of my big concerns is that teams could play two

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: or three times, which I'm not a big fan of,

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: especially when we're doing away with divisions. Please keep this

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: in mind, guys, we're not just getting a twelve team

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: playoff this year. That's not the only thing that's changing.

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: We're also seeing conferences. Big conferences like the Big Ten

44
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: and the SEC have divisions no longer, so it's just

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: the top two teams from the conferences, which you may

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: listen to and you say, oh, great, the top two

47
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: teams play for the conference title. Well I feel that

48
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: way as well. However, we have situations that could exist.

49
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: For example, in the Big Ten, Ohio State and Michigan

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: have been the best two programs in that thing for

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: a long time. They still are. They're going to play

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: the last game of the season, and then they could

53
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: turn right around and play six days later in the

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Big Ten title game, and then they very well could

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: face off a third time in the College Football Playoff.

56
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: And to me, I know this sounds very antithetical because

57
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: I love that game. In the peroit of that game,

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: it sucks that it could happen three times more. Of

59
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: a good thing is not always a good thing. That's

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: bumper sticker logic. It's not real life. So I'm caught

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: here because you know, I wasn't really a big fan

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: of expansion anyway. You asked, what is my definition of

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: a successful season, do I root for that not to happen,

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: or since I know rules need to change and something

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: needs to happen to make that less likely, I should

66
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: I just root for chaos basically in year one, to

67
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: bite the bullet and maybe bitter pill it and make

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: sure we have a better way tomorrow. I don't know.

69
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't really know how I feel about that. I

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: guess in a more broad sense, I would think a

71
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: successful first season for an expanded playoff is just making

72
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: sure knowing you've got a safety net under you doesn't

73
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: delegitimize the regular season, which is my other probably bigger fear,

74
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: and that is you're playing a game in early November,

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: and the attitude used to be we cannot trip up,

76
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: we cannot lose. Here are seasons on the line, and

77
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, it's well, we'd love to

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: win today, but if we don't, it'll be okay, We'll

79
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: still make the playoff. Well that's not how college football

80
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: is supposed to feel, at least to me. I know

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: everyone has their own opinion there, so I don't know

82
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: what a successful first year would be, but we will

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: all experience it together. Isaac from Augusta, Georgia. What's the

84
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: appropriate age to take a child to their first college

85
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: football game? Well, I'm glad you asked this. Isaac Mehma

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: prepared a very helpful guide for me early in life,

87
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: knowing that one day I may have little ones of

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: my own, and she said, here, just open to page

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: one and it has a question. And the question says,

90
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: is the child breathing? And if yes, they are old

91
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: enough to attend a college football game. There you go.

92
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: That's the end of the guy. So thank you, Mema,

93
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: always there in a pinch. Next up, whyse in Columbus, Ohio?

94
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: If Dabo and Clemson missed the playoff this year, is

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: his seat officially warm? It seems like he's not willing

96
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: to evolve whatsoever. I can't know that without knowing how

97
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: badly the season went. If they're ten and two or

98
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: something like that and for whatever reason they miss out,

99
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: I don't think his seat's warm. If they go eight

100
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: and four, I don't know how it would be handled there,

101
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: because Dabo is such a legacy name that honestly, I

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: think the Clemson ecosystem may have its own unique way

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: of dealing with him. I feel the same way about

104
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Pittman and Arkansas. Actually, if things were to go bad

105
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: for Pittman, I actually think Sam Pittman would just retire

106
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: before he was ever fired, And I think maybe Dabo

107
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: would feel the same way. Maybe I don't know. He's

108
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: not certainly in the same boat as Sam Pittman or

109
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: anything like that. The program's still very good at Clemson.

110
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: But as for the lack of willingness to evolve, we

111
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: talked about it the other night on the show, and

112
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna have a lot of agreement

113
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: from Clemson fans, but I was also going to have

114
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: a sliver of the fan base that got really mad

115
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: at what I said. And that's completely fine, because that's

116
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: a representation of the fan base. There. There are some

117
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: who will ride or die with the guy that won

118
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: you a couple of national titles, and I totally get that,

119
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: and his way is the way. Everything else be damned.

120
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: There is another, probably growing portion of the fan base

121
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: that looks around and says, we love Dabbo, we love

122
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: the tradition here, we love our values and principles. We

123
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: do think Clemson is a special place, but we also

124
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: think that there are ways that we could do things

125
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: that we're choosing not to do, and it may come

126
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: back to bite us. So I look at it and

127
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I call it like it is, or I try to

128
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. It makes people feel

129
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: the way they feel. But the results are ultimately what matter.

130
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: That's what I'm getting to. If they were to go

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: eight and four this year, you would see more and

132
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: more people start to sing the different tune, you know,

133
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: the more modernized tune. We got to use the portal.

134
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: We've got to take advantage of this. And so I

135
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: don't know if he'd be on the hot seat. I

136
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the way it would work there,

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: but it certainly would become more of a conversation. Really

138
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: is next up. I do not see a hometown which

139
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: minimizes your opportunity to get on the Podroly, you snuck

140
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: in here, but adding the hometown is what maximizes your

141
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: chances of getting on the pod. Nevertheless, Rowley asks, what

142
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: do you think of college game Day? Going to College

143
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: Station week one Texas A and M welcoming in Notre Dame.

144
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a bonker's environment. It's

145
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: a night game, won't matter, it's going to be hot,

146
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: but it's a night game. I was talking about this

147
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: when we first started the pod. A lot of the

148
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: networks are starting to release their not just week one,

149
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: but their first games of the season period. Fox, who

150
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: has big new kickoff, something I have great affection for.

151
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: They announced they've got Texas, Michigan, They've got Alabama, Wisconsin,

152
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: and of course they got Michigan Ohio State. Those are

153
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: all going to be noon eastern eleven AM kicks. That's

154
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: I think week two, Week three, and the last weekend

155
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: of the season respectively. Well, ESPN and ABC they've got

156
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: a really ridiculous triple header to open the season. So

157
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: they've got the noon game, which is Clemson in Georgia

158
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, seventy two degrees for kickoff there no matter what,

159
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: because it's indoors unless they open the roof, which I'd

160
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: have no problem with. Then you've got Miami, Florida at

161
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 1: three point thirty that's in the swamp. That is three

162
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: thirty in the afternoon. Can you imagine just the brisk

163
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: ninety six degree conditions, humidity which makes you sweat just

164
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: to think about a lot gross, just incredibly gross, Not

165
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: to mention how toxic, the environment will be for the loser.

166
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,359
Speaker 1: So you got that, and then you got the nightcap,

167
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: which is Notre Dame at Texas A and M. How

168
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: about that for a triple hitter in week one? And

169
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: Game Day has chosen the latter of those as their destination.

170
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: We have not announced where we're going yet. We go

171
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: to a handpicked game every week. We've got a tour

172
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: every year, which I have not decided on the name

173
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: of yet, but we will be somewhere. We will be

174
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: at one of those games, I can assure you. And

175
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: when I know, you will know. Next up, Damien said,

176
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: what's up with players opting out of spring football? Yeah, Damien,

177
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: what is up with that? Did anyone else take notice

178
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: of this? Or here's another question? Are you even aware

179
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: of when it happens? It's far enough removed from spring

180
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: that you won't be able to guess who this is now.

181
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: But I was talking to a head coach behind the scenes,

182
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: kind of off the record this past spring. He was

183
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: talking about their roster, and he was laying out their

184
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: nil approach and who gets paid what, And of course

185
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I can't share that with you, But what I can

186
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: share is he said wouldn't you know it, Like four

187
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: of my top eight highest paid players just decided they

188
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: were injured this spring, just decided they couldn't quite tough

189
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: it out this spring. And he looked at me, and

190
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: he shrugged and as if to say, Hey, what are

191
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: you going to do? What can you do? Uh? Yeah,

192
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: what can you do? We're not in a world where

193
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: we collectively bargain. We're not in a world where guys

194
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: are employees. We're not in a world where you can

195
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: really enforce anything. And so if guys are getting paid

196
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: and then they decide, I think, I'm not gonna risk

197
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: it in spring. I'll be back in the fall. I'll

198
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: see you them. Until then, I'm just gonna take some

199
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: mental reps. What can you really do? And before anyone

200
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: suggests it, this is not a losing program. The coach

201
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking about is not leading a losing program by

202
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination. So it's a tightrope walk

203
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: these days. Joe is next up. He said, what if

204
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: the Twister movie doesn't live up to the hype, Yeah, Joe,

205
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: truly the stuff of nightmares there. The trailer has come

206
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: out and it's a big deal. I'm not gonna beat

207
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: around the bush. I'm gonna make myself vulnerable for you.

208
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: A lot of my summer emotion is riding on the

209
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: outcome of this movie. All I've got is that, and

210
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: then college football season coming. That's all I've got. That's

211
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: what my emotions are hinging on. And college football won't

212
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: let me down. Man. I hope Twisters does not let

213
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: me down. Here's the thing. You've got to nail the nuance. Twister,

214
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: the original nailed the nuance. I don't care. I'm willing

215
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: to sacrifice the rediculousness of a cow flying through the air, which, ironically,

216
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: for many of you, is what you remember when I

217
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: say Twister. I hate that scene. It's just added in.

218
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: It's Hollywood's touch on an otherwise beautiful movie about storm chasing.

219
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: But I get it, because they have to attract the

220
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: mass crowd. It can't just be made for those who

221
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: are passionate about storm chasing. I get all that. I'm

222
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: fine with it. So likewise, with Twisters, I saw the trailer,

223
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: and I saw a lot of the sensationalistic build up,

224
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: and I saw a lot of the stuff injected that

225
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: it probably doesn't show up when we actually go storm chasing,

226
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. If they nail the nuance,

227
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: if they nail the vibe that is storm chasing. And

228
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: here's an underrated aspect. If they nail the soundtrack, then

229
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: it will have lived up to the hype. The Twister soundtrack,

230
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: and this is my opinion but also a scientific fact,

231
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: is the most underrated movie soundtrack in the history of soundtracks,

232
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: just star studying. Absolutely, It's got every genre, it's got

233
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: every theme, it's got every mood. It's great, it's awesome,

234
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. Everything short of Kenny g is on there,

235
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: and I'm probably sure they talked to him. He just

236
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: didn't quite make the cut. But this has been a

237
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: really active spring. We've been chasing tornadoes all spring. I

238
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: had one yesterday at a golf course up in Branson, Missouri.

239
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of you guys saw that on socials,

240
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to it. I am going to

241
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: allow myself to be hurt. I'm not going into this guarded.

242
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: I know I said that before, but I am removing

243
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: the chains. I am going to expose myself to the

244
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: possibility of this being a crushing disappointment. And I haven't

245
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: done that since the Dumb and Dumber prequel came out,

246
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: and that was just a crushing disappointment, And ever since then,

247
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: I've said, I'm not allowing movies to get built up

248
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: in my mind. They're just going to be whatever they are.

249
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: But I'm allowing twisters to get built up in my mind.

250
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: How about the quote from Glenn Powell and the trailer

251
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: by the way, you don't face your fears, you ride them. Unbelievable.

252
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: That's bumpers sticker logic right there. That's good bumper sticker logic.

253
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: You are what your record says you are terrible sucks

254
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: bumper sticker logic of the worst variety. You don't face

255
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: your fears, you ride them. That's awesome. Let's go to

256
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Greg in Athens, Alabama. He said, under the current environment

257
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: of the Portland NIL, coaches don't get hired with a

258
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: five year plan anymore. How many years does a coach have.

259
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: I think it varies programmed to program, But at the

260
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: big programs, I think you can get three years if

261
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: you sell everyone on the fact that you inherited a mess,

262
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: and the third year you better show really, really tangible results.

263
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: I think, really more realistically, it starts in year two.

264
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: You start to really feel heat in year two. So

265
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: there are some examples of that right now. That's why

266
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: that Week one game with Miami and Florida is so pivotal.

267
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Both of those guys, Mario and Billy are entering year

268
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: three and both, to varying degrees, still have a lot

269
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: to prove to most of the world and their fan bases.

270
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter if both of them have made

271
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: a lot of progress. One of them's got to lose

272
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: in week one after all the build up. We've had

273
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: both of them on the show, We've gone to both

274
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: of those campuses this spring and seen under the hood

275
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: at both programs. I have no doubt both are going

276
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: in the right direction. One of them's got to lose

277
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: in week one, after all the build up, one's got

278
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: to lose. And so you can have all the conventional

279
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: wisdom you want, but once you get into the season

280
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: and live bullets are flying, convention goes out the window.

281
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: It's all emotion at that point. Even the decision makers

282
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: sometimes throw logic in the blender once real life results

283
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: start rolling in in the fall. Let's go with Dylan's

284
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: question next, he's got a good one here he said

285
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: Brent Vinables had a better record in year two than

286
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: Sark did in year two. He improved from year one

287
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: to year two. He recruits at a top ten level.

288
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: But yet Sark is considered a top five coach and

289
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: Brent Venables is an afterthought. Why if he makes the

290
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: playoff this year, will he jump up one hundred spots

291
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: on everyone's list. Yes he will, Yes, he will. There's

292
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: a lot of validity to this. I think a lot

293
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: of it is in perception and marketing and messaging. And

294
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: that's not that that's a bad thing. But here's a

295
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: couple of things to consider. Number One, Sark is a

296
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: year ahead of where Brenton Venables is. And even though

297
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: we should be comparing year one to year one and

298
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: year two to year two like you did, Dylan, that's

299
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: not the way the general college football fans mine thinks.

300
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't think till all they see is Texas just

301
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: made the playoff and they're about to contend for a

302
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: title again, and your over underwin total is like seven

303
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: or eight or whatever it is, and your offensive line

304
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: is a mess. And this is what the public thinks

305
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: about Oklahoma. And so everything you said is true, though

306
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: they did improve. He did have a better year two

307
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: than sarkd In they are recruiting at a very high level,

308
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: they're portaling at a very high level. I think a

309
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: couple of things come in play here. I believe that

310
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: offensive minded head coaches get benefit of doubt over defensive

311
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: minded coaches. And that's a general rule I have. I

312
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: see it a lot. And so Sark is an offensive

313
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: guy and one of the best in the country. I

314
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: believed that for quite a while. Actually, he just happens

315
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: to be the head coach at Texas now, whereas Brenton

316
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Vinnables is a defensive guy. And that's dumb, but it is.

317
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: It just is. And you ask me, why does the

318
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: public think this way? Well, that's one. Number two, Sarks

319
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: a year ahead of him. Like I said, number three,

320
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: I think that Texas and Sark do a better job

321
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: messaging than Oklahoma. Now, if I were an Oklahoma fan,

322
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't care about that, because messaging doesn't win football games.

323
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: I think it can affect recruiting a little bit. I

324
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: think it can affect donor investment a little bit, and

325
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: it may affect the portal a little bit, but not much.

326
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: And You could make the argument it doesn't matter at all,

327
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: but I will make the counter argument, it certainly doesn't hurt.

328
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: Texas just had us down there in Austin last week.

329
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: We had Sark on the show for forty minutes. We

330
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: did an entire show from Texas. That does not hurt.

331
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: I've not heard from Oklahoma. Got nothing against Oklahoma. Love Oklahoma,

332
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: but I haven't heard from them. That's purposeful on Texas's part,

333
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: at least that's purposeful. They do a really good job

334
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: of making sure the things that are said about Texas

335
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: and the way Texas is seen is tailored to the

336
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: way they want it said and the way they want

337
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: it seen. And Oklahoma, I don't think they don't care

338
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: about that, but I don't think they care as much

339
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: about it, at least from my experience. I could be

340
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,239
Speaker 1: wrong about that, but I haven't dealt with Oklahoma and

341
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: I've dealt with Texas, and so I know how they

342
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: go about their business. Both of them are recruiting well.

343
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma just beat them on the field last year and

344
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: they were a point spread underdog that day. So that

345
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: shows you what expectations are worth. Speaking of expectation, no,

346
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: it's not the surprise ad toss yet. But speaking of expectation,

347
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: Orange cool A had hit me up from Newark, Ohio.

348
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: He said, I'm going to give you a chance to

349
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: explain yourself. How is chewy bacon not better than crunchy bacon? Buddy,

350
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: I don't need to explain myself. Here's a little back story.

351
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: So waffle House, which is an institution in the South,

352
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean waffle house is period. That's the sentence waffle

353
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: House is. Well, they decide, unprompted, to go on Twitter

354
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: the other night and just talk about how crispy bacon's

355
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: not as good as chewy bacon, soggy bacon, limp bacon.

356
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: As me Mal would say, ain't nobody looking for limp

357
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: bacon in this house? Again, as she would say, I

358
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: don't have to prove anything. I don't have to defend

359
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: my point. My point is sound, yours is insane. What

360
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: kind of psycho runs around deciding to defend chewy bacon

361
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: over crispy bacon. I'm the default position. Okay, Liking crispy

362
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: bacon is normal. You have the freak show opinion of

363
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: preferring soggy bacon limp bacon. That is a nightmare fuel.

364
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: That's horrific. That's terrible. That is not what breakfast streams

365
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: are made of. Chewy bacon is worse than that Pop

366
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: Tart movie. And the Pop Tart movie is an abomination

367
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: of cinema. I turned it off. Have you guys, I'm

368
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: switching gears a little bit. Have you guys watched that

369
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: movie yet? Don't? Would be my piece of advice, but

370
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: some of you already have, and those who have gone

371
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: on before me off that cliff. I apologize. I hate

372
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: you had to go through that. I went through half

373
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: of it and I turned it off. It's star studded,

374
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: it's very well shot, it's very well produced and edited.

375
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: Is just terrible. It's bad, which is a shame because

376
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: pop Tarts had been on a roll. Remember we're less

377
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: than five months removed from a pop Tart sacrificing himself

378
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: on live television so Kansas State could eat him as

379
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: a reward for winning the Pop Tart Bowl. And you're

380
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: telling me we follow that up with this wet bag

381
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: of trash, the Pop Tart movie. It's called Unfrosted. I

382
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: don't even care that I'm giving it free publicity. It's

383
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: beyond help. It does not matter. I could fly a

384
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: banner behind one of those planes on every beach in

385
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: America the rest of the day. It would not save

386
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: that movie. Bloo, what are we doing? So we've already

387
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: got some rules on this show. Here are a few new ones.

388
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: Number one say no to Saggi Bacon, Number two say

389
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: no to the movie Unfrosted, and number three say no

390
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: if anyone asks if you saw this coming, got him

391
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: nailed it? Chris from Atlanta, Georgia asks how quickly could

392
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: the conversation turn sour? In Knoxville? With four to five

393
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: losses this season, it feels as if they missed their

394
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: window in twenty twenty two. I kind of sort of

395
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: disagree here. I think this is their best shot. I

396
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: think they've got their best team at Tennessee this year.

397
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: I think Hypel has his best quarterback he's had to

398
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: date this year. Now, that doesn't guarantee anything, so maybe

399
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: they go eight and four. I also think that if

400
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee goes eight and four, it's probably some situation where

401
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: they lost three games by seven points or fewer. They

402
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: just didn't have the one possession games go their way.

403
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: So in that kind of scenario, you are eight and four,

404
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: but you're also really close to being ten and two.

405
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: Like there's a path where that same team goes eleven

406
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: and one if we just replay the games, which you

407
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: don't get to do. But I always say that to

408
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: illustrate how narrow the margins are in this sport and

409
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: how similar a seven and five and a ten and

410
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: two season could be for the same team, same team

411
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: could have that happen. Now having said that, yeah, if

412
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: they do go seven and five, conversation would change. Bloom

413
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: would be off the rows. The entire following winter and

414
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: spring would be spent discussing what Hypel has to do

415
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: to save his job, what Tennessee has to do to

416
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: turn it around. Is it time to start considering this

417
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: a failed experiment? Is Nico really the guy? Or maybe

418
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: they went seven and five because he got injured or

419
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't know. I don't never even

420
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: like to talk about that, because then if guys get hurt,

421
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: people pull the clip and say you jinxtuss. But it

422
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't be good. Obviously it wouldn't be But my expectations

423
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: for Tennessee are really high this year, so I'm not

424
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: even going down that road of expectation. Next question, Oh,

425
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: we got this one again. Cameron from Tallahassee. Guess what

426
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: he asked? He said, are you ever going to interview

427
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: the coach of the Florida team with the most success recently?

428
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: I'd love to, Cameron. I've said this a few times,

429
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: so I'll say it again. We have not heard from

430
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: Florida State. If we did, we'd go down there. So

431
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: it's not up to me. I can't just walk up

432
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: and knock on the door. If you want us to

433
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: go down there, hit them up, tag them and maybe

434
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: they don't want us to come. Maybe that's why they

435
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: haven't reached out. Don't know that for sure, but that's

436
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: always a possibility. Nevertheless, I'd love to go down there.

437
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: We have not been invited. So that's the long and

438
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: short of it. Here's a good one from Dan in Jarrettsville, Maryland.

439
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: He said, which Week one result will be the most

440
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: overblown reaction by the end of the year, Think twenty

441
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: sixteen Texas being back after they beat Notre Dame er

442
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: Colorado over TCU last season. Hey, I'm going to go

443
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: back to the well with Colorado. You know they play

444
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: North Dakota State on Thursday night in Week one, so

445
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: that's going to have the whole standalone, worldwide primetime audience treatment.

446
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: And if they beat North Dakota State, I think a

447
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: lot of the same vibe would be around the team

448
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: because it's gonna get built up. I promise you between

449
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: now and then, all people have time to do is talk,

450
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: and they're going to build up the possibility of an

451
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: upset North Dakota State beats Colorado, that's the upset special.

452
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure what the number on the game

453
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: will be from FanDuel's perspective, but if Colorado wins that game,

454
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: it will be sold as they just accomplish something really

455
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: big and it will be overblown probably, And if they lose,

456
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: you'll have people acting like it's the end of the

457
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: world because they lost to an FCS team. I also

458
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: think that Miami Florida game. I already talked about that

459
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: one a little bit earlier. That's a very solid candidate

460
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: because you have the possibility at the end of the

461
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: year for both teams to have disappointed you. And what

462
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: happened is you have Week one results. Notre Dame A

463
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: and m could be another one Week one. Those feel

464
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: very very significant, cause they are, and you can make

465
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: a big deal out of them. But what the question

466
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: was is which one feels the most overblown by the

467
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: end of the year. Well, how dumb would you feel

468
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: if you made a huge, huge to do about a

469
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: game where each team goes on to lose five more?

470
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: You know? So that's what we're trying to scan the

471
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: radar for Georgia Clemson. I don't think qualifies as that

472
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: because I think, come what may, on the outcome, both

473
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: teams are going to be pretty good. I just side note,

474
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: imagine a world where Clemson beats Georgia. Can anyone picture it?

475
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Can you really conjure that in your mind? Because the

476
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: points spread is going to be under two touchdowns, like twelve,

477
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: twelve and a half thirteen something like that, which is

478
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: a big number on a Clemson game, but it's not

479
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: like it it's the most monumental upset in the world.

480
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: And yet some games take on these fields where even

481
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: though the number on the game is not huge, it

482
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: is harder for me. There will be games this year

483
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: where the points spread is the favorite minus nineteen that

484
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: feel a whole lot more upset worthy. And I feel

485
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: a whole lot more upset potential than Clemson over Georgia.

486
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if you feel that way from looking

487
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: at it in May. That's how I feel about that game.

488
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: I also, really, really, really am fascinated to see what

489
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: the whole feel is on LSU versus USC because that's

490
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game. That's the kind of game where

491
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: we have to move the start of our show for

492
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: that Sunday night. I hate the Sunday game, hate it,

493
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: absolutely despise it, but I get it. Doesn't mean I

494
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: have to like it, but I get it. Yeah, there

495
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: will be overreaction. That's something that is never in short

496
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: supply in college football this time of year, and it

497
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: is a beautiful thing and we will willingly participate. I

498
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: don't know if you could tell, but I just paused

499
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: the recording for like ten minutes to eat. But I'm

500
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: back now. Don't worry toothpick in mouth. I'm back. Clayton

501
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: is in Jackson, Tennessee. He said, what's your favorite college

502
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: football environment you've experienced? And why was it the third

503
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: Saturday in October in Knoxville in twenty twenty two. Well, Clayton,

504
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: I think you're actually right. I think that was the

505
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: best I've experienced. That was Tennessee taken down Alabama. I

506
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: cannot put into words what it was like. I can try,

507
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: I have tried. I fail miserably. I guess I'm just

508
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: not that good with words. But it was an amazing, amazing,

509
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: amazing atmosphere. That's the night where the eye, Josh thankfully

510
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: was charged enough to where I could record footage from

511
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: the field, got some smoke inhlation issues because the cigar

512
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: smoke was so thick on the field. I got up

513
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: on one of the team benches in time to record

514
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: the goal posts that had been torn down, and it

515
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: slowly sunk into the sea of humanity like it was

516
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: a sinking ship. And I put the Titanic music to that,

517
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: and that was a really good piece of content. Then

518
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: I participated in taking the goal post out of the stadium.

519
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: Now I didn't go all the way to the river

520
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: because I had to go to a press conference. But man,

521
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: there's just stuff. There are times, there are situations you

522
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: find yourself in in college football that you're thinking to yourself,

523
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: even in the moment, is so authentically college football, like

524
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: you could never in a million years be in that spot.

525
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: I could never in a million years go to a

526
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: pro football game, go to an NFL game as great

527
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: as the NFL is. And after the Commanders beat the Browns,

528
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm watching a seventeen year old

529
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: kid surf on top of a goal post with a

530
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: cigar in his mouth, hat on backwards as it's being

531
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: carried by hundreds of other people out of the stadium

532
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: and thrown into a body of water. When am I

533
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: ever going to see that? When am I ever going

534
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: to see underage children toasting beer with cops? Actually that

535
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: sounds like every day in Boston, but you get the point. So, yeah,

536
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: that one was I don't think that one gets topped.

537
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: I think that's number one. The Cotton Bowl games I've

538
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: been to are like two of the most historic ever

539
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: this past year and then a couple of years ago,

540
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: and those were right down to the wire both times.

541
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: Those were incredible, man, And I've told the story, but

542
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I can ever tell it enough. That

543
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: that game for me is so special because it's the

544
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: eleven am kickoff, which I love. We've had great weather

545
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: both times, which I love. It's been packed, obviously, very few,

546
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: if any luxury suites in the Cotton Bowl. I love

547
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: old stadiums. It was such a big deal to me

548
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 1: when they announced the extension of the contract for that

549
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: game to remain in the Cotton Bowl this past year.

550
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: Just love it, Love everything about it. You know, whenever

551
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: we enter into debates about stadiums, let the Rose bowls

552
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: the same way people start talking about how, oh, it's

553
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: not modernized enough, all the seats are too small, all

554
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: the concessions could use some work, all the bathroom literally

555
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: just suck it up, suck it up. I love those places,

556
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: love them. I have a little privilege about that, though,

557
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: And I know what you're thinking. Yet it's easy to

558
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: say suck it up when you don't have to sit there.

559
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: But guys, I have sat there. What did you think

560
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: I was doing before I was able to be credentialed

561
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: to these games? I was scrounging up every dime I had.

562
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: I went out to the Rose Bowl one time and

563
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: sat between two folks who were easily combined weight five

564
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: point fifty maybe six bills, and I sucked it up. Man.

565
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: I have never sort of sitting in the middle seat

566
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: on a Southwest flight. I've never felt that confined before

567
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: but the trade off was I was watching a National

568
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: title game in the Rose Bowl, so it was okay.

569
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: It's okay at the end of the day anyway. So

570
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: at the Cotton Bowl you get that, and I think

571
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: some of you who have been there and know this.

572
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: But what makes it even better is, of course you've

573
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: got the halftime where I could walk out the stadium

574
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: and go to the Texas State Fair, and we did

575
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: that this past year, and I shot video of it,

576
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: and I won a chicken head out of the flip

577
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: of chick and I ate a funnel cake and I

578
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: came back for the third quarter. But after the game,

579
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: I can't remember if I told this story, so I'll

580
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: tell you once more. The Cotton Bowl, as we know,

581
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: is nine hundred and thirty seven years old, and so

582
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: it's been sitting there forever, and like swarms of locusts

583
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: have just decided to make the stadium home. So I'm

584
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: in there before they open the gates to the public,

585
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: and you can walk around and it's been pressure washed

586
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: and it's pristine, and all the coolers are stocked and

587
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: the concession stands are stocked. But every now and then

588
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: you just see massive grasshoppers and you see one, then

589
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: you see five, then you see fifty over the course

590
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: of your morning as you're doing your pregame coverage and

591
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: you realize, wow, there's like a whole family of locusts

592
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: and very large insects that live in here. So then

593
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: the game happens. It's not a huge deal, like people

594
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: will see it every now and then. After the game,

595
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: we'll be on the field and they have those press

596
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: corrals that go up and down the yard lines. You've

597
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: seen them before. They have advertisements on the side of them.

598
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: They're made of foam, so like if a player lands

599
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: on it, he just folds up. In high school games

600
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: they use those to put the yard markers out. Well,

601
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: after the game, we'll be doing live hits for CBS

602
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: and they'll be taking those things up. And what's happened

603
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: is those things have sat there in the sun, providing

604
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: the only ship in that stadium for six or seven hours,

605
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: and a bunch of those locusts, thousands of them, have

606
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: made their way under those press corrals and then they

607
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: peel them up and it is like it's a biblical scene.

608
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: I know what the Egyptians must have felt like, because

609
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: the second that they move those things. Those locusts go

610
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: everywhere and they die shortly thereafter. It's like they get

611
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: cooked because I don't think they can stand the extreme

612
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: like adjustment from dark and cool to sun and hot.

613
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: But wow, before they go, they go with a bang immunity.

614
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: It's really incredible to watch. And you're trying to do

615
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: a live shot and I am not making this up.

616
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: I promise you Coach Quinn and Gelbi can attest to this.

617
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: This past year, one of them ended up in my shirt.

618
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: In my shirt during my live shot. I never flinched,

619
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: never flinched, And I think these are big enough to

620
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: eat a small human being. These are mega locusts and

621
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: they've just fed on like carnival food all day, so

622
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: they're really really hopped up on powdered sugar and shade.

623
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: And then they get exposed and as they go, they

624
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: go very loudly, and they go very aggressively. So how

625
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: could you not love that? My point is the cotton

626
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: bowlt Ou, Texas Third Saturday in October, Bama loses to Tennessee.

627
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: This past year, Oregon at Washington was insane. That's one

628
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: of the best I've ever experienced. Washington an amazing, amazing

629
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: home field environment, just unbelievably underrated. And you know what

630
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: hurts my heart is I haven't been able to go

631
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: to an LSU game in a couple of years. Somehow

632
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: the schedule hasn't worked out. But I've been down there

633
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: several times at night when Bama comes in there with

634
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, that is so otherworldly. It is so uncomfortable

635
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: for people who aren't wearing purple and gold to travel

636
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: in there. And I remember going down there the first

637
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: time and I was just working local news at the time.

638
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: I was with someone. I was dating this girl at

639
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: the time, but she worked at the news station, and

640
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: I remember, I mean, they're as friendly as can be

641
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: to us, but you could tell the general hostility to

642
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: anyone who's not wearing purple and gold. So I didn't

643
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: feel comfortable until we got in the building, Like, I

644
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: did not really feel totally comfortable, And I thought to myself,

645
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: I wonder what it would feel like if I was

646
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: actually wearing Crimson, Like if I was actually a Bama

647
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: fan coming in here with a ticket to the game.

648
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: And if you want to know what that's like, search

649
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: the internet. There are plenty of stories about what it's

650
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: like for traveling fans in the friendly confines of Tiger Stadium.

651
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: Now Bama goes down there this year, maybe that tonight game,

652
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: maybe I get to get back. It doesn't have to

653
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: be a Bama game. That's always their biggest game of

654
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: the year, though, So I'm working on it. LSU, I

655
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: am working on it. Trust me, I want to be back.

656
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: I need to be back. Must be twenty one or

679
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: Next up, why do you hate USC so much? I don't.

680
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: I should end it there, but I really should end

681
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: it here. Here's thirty seconds, Kelly. I don't hate USC,

682
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: I've said repeatedly. I would actually prefer for you guys

683
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: to be a double digit win program annually. It would

684
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: be good for me, It would be good for college football.

685
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: Not the college football needs it, but it would be

686
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: good for it. I would greatly enjoy being able to

687
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: add USC games into our annual rotation. I've never been

688
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: to the Coliseum, never been able to go to a

689
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: game there. I love the history of this sport. Therefore,

690
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: I love the mystique of the USC brand. I love

691
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: the fact that, to my knowledge, the USC Marching Band

692
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: is the only to ever have performed with Fleetwood Mac. Yes, kids,

693
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: that's a fact. Look it up. It's happened more than once.

694
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: By the way, I just don't sing the praises of

695
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: the program. I don't serve as a marketing arm of

696
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: the program, and because of that, I tell the truth

697
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: as I see it about the program. It's not always flattering,

698
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: and some people who otherwise just live on USC message

699
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: boards take that to me, and I don't like USC.

700
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: It's quite the opposite. I think it's good to have

701
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: voices doing that. I think it's very good to have

702
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: someone who'll call your program into account because your program

703
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: has fumbled the bag fantastically over the past ten to

704
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: fifteen years, and I would love for that not to

705
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: be the case. Therefore, I'll call it out until it

706
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: is the case. How about that? Is that hate? If

707
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: that's hate, I hate USC. I don't hate USC Steve

708
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: from Millersburg, Ohio. Will you ever do a live TV

709
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: pregame show on Saturday mornings early kick pregame show. I

710
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: don't think there's really a market for it, Steve. I

711
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: think Saturday morning is saturated enough. I do some live

712
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: stuff on CBS on Saturday mornings. If I were a

713
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: part of one of those big Saturday morning shows, if

714
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: I was a part of Game Day, if I was

715
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: a part of a big noon kickoff, I would gladly

716
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: participate in that. But trying to add something else onto

717
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: the when you have Saturday mornings, I think would be

718
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: a waste of time, And to be honest, I'm not

719
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: I'm not all that interested in doing it now. There

720
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: may be other windows of the week Steve, where we

721
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: are actively engaged in negotiations behind the scenes, because I

722
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: do think there are some very underserved chunks of the

723
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: weekly schedule that aren't taken advantage of that we may

724
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 1: take advantage of Saturday mornings not really one of them, though,

725
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: Now this is a good one. Remington hit me from Pace,

726
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: Florida said, Hey, where does the newly revived Texas versus

727
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: Texas A and M game sit on your bucket list

728
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: of games you want to go to this fall. It

729
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: is way up there. If that game we're in week one, two,

730
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: or three, it would be the talk of the sport.

731
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: Right now, we've got this game back. Does everyone hear me? Clearly,

732
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: it's not like in twenty twenty seven. It's coming. It's here.

733
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: It's in the words of Philip Seymour Hoffman, it's coming.

734
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: It's headed right for us, Bill Patston, it's already here.

735
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: That's from Twister for those unfamiliar, it's here. Texas goes

736
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: into Kyle Field. I think the day after Thanksgiving, and

737
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: scratch that, because I just paused the recording to go check.

738
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: It is not the day after Thanksgiving. It is the Saturday,

739
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: same day as the Iron Bowl, same day as Ohio

740
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: State and Michigan. Yeah, who knows where those teams are.

741
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: Obviously I can't predict where we'll be, but man, can you.

742
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: And that's one of the games, by the way, I

743
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: was talking to someone about this the other day at CBS.

744
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 1: That's one of the games where the environment will be electric.

745
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: No matter what, it won't matter. A and M could

746
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: have four losses. A and M could be undefeated. I

747
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: think Texas will have a good record. I think they'll

748
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: be in the playoff mix A and M. Whether they

749
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: are or they aren't. Either a playoff trip is on

750
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,959
Speaker 1: the line and it's Texas or it's just Texas coming

751
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: in for the sake of rivalry. Texas went to Arkansas

752
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Now, I don't know if you

753
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 1: guys remember this. Arkansas folks are still talking about the game.

754
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: Texas got stunned like cattle pride to the neck. They

755
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: weren't ready for it, and it was just walking into

756
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: a hornet's nest on steroids, and Arkansas undressed them on

757
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: national TV that environment. You turn the volume, knob up

758
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: another notch or two, that'll be Kyle Field. They have

759
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: been waiting. They didn't want Texas in this conference. They

760
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: were happy to get away from them. And Texas found

761
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: a way into this conference anyway. And now the rivalry

762
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: is back, and it's in rivalry week, and it's at

763
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 1: the end of the year, and who knows what else

764
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: is on the line in terms of postseason implication, Oh,

765
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: right after Thanksgiving too. One of my gripes about college football,

766
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful sport. It's my favorite sport. It's the

767
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: best in the world. One of my gripes is I've

768
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: always hated that Rivalry week is the week of Thanksgiving,

769
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: just like I've always hated that our biggest games, like

770
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: the Big Bowl games, in the playoffs and whatnot, they

771
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 1: overlap with Christmas and New Year's. And I don't mean

772
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: that it's not a good tradition. I mean it just

773
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: feels so clunky, like the week of Thanksgiving. In a

774
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: perfect world, I'd love to just check out totally, you know,

775
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: be with fam league go home. Instead, my past few

776
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: years have been let me go home for twenty four hours,

777
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: get some Thanksgiving dinner, you know, spend five minutes with family,

778
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: see nieces and nephews, and then I get on a

779
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: plane to either Columbus, Ohio or Detroit, Michigan, and I'm

780
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: going to you know, a rivalry game, which is great.

781
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Please don't feel sorry for me. I just

782
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: wish those weeks didn't overlap, That's all I'm saying. So

783
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: outside of that perfect sport, no complaints. Well I have complaints,

784
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: but they are greatly outweighed by the compliments that I

785
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: have about the sport. I appreciate you guys listening, I
