1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: This is the perfect collection of college football questions exist.

2
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: I think in the next hour or so, I could argue, yes,

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: we've got a really good mailbag here. It's the Lake

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: where you have to be now. I know it sounds

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: like I'm talking like an auctioneer. Is there somebody in

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: the back? See somebody in the back, But that's just

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: because we have a busy, busy day ahead of us.

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: We're headed to Miami today, looking forward to getting down there.

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Late Caick Live will be from Coral Gables on the

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: campus of the University of Miami Thursday. So we got

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: a busy week. There is no off season, and we're

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna have a really good addition to the Peate State

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Speaker series. But that's all Thursday. What about Today? Well,

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: Today producer Jesse and direct Colin and Bradley the associate

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: and I we mined the mail bag all the way

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: down to the bottom, and we got some really, really

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: good questions here, So let's start it off. Digital Spittle,

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: who hails from Oklahoma City, hit us up and said,

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: what teams are the biggest question marks heading into this season? Well,

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: I think we should start right there in your backyard.

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Let's just go to Norman Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a really

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: big question mark team. Now I got my feel on them,

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sure everyone listening to this or watching this

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: has their feel on Oklahoma. How confident are you in

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: your feel? And I'm excluding Sooner fans for a second,

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: because of course you have every possible reason. You've seen

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: every possible way that the glass can be half full

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: instead of half empty. You know, But if I talk

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: to you, guys, and I were to inject truth serum

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: in you, or maybe you're just a real one who

37
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: can see past the crimson and cream colored glasses and

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: you can see your team for what it is. You

39
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: know that there is some element of the unknown there.

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: They overhauled their defense, and they had to because their

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: defense was woeful last year. Still, to my feel, don't

42
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: have a true number one receiver on that team. Now

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they can't have one. This is college football.

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Guys emerge all the time. But I'm looking at how

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: much they overturned, and I'm looking at how subpar they

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: were last year relative to everyone's expectation level. And you

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: can tell yourself that Vegas is right. You can tell yourself, hey,

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: nine and a half as an over under win total

49
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: for a team that barely made a ball game last year, Like, Wow,

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: they believe in us, Yes they do, and those people

51
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: aren't stupid, and I believe in you too. And it's

52
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: questionable day to day whether I'm that s word that

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: I just mentioned, But Oklahoma is an absolute question mark

54
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: team this year. It's just a team that could go

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: one of two ways. You know, I got confidence, but

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: even I have to admit they could go one of

57
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: two ways. Another team that I think bears including in

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: this particular conversation is Texas A and M for basically

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: all the same reasons that we just listed with Oklahoma.

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. They got an over underwent total

61
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: of eight and a half after they just missed a

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: bowl game last year, And so again odds makers are looking.

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: And here's basically all that comes down to. If you're

64
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: out there and you don't bet, or you don't really

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: care about it, but you're kind of curious how those

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: odds are formulated. A lot of it just has to

67
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: do with roster talent. A lot of it has to

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: do with the skill level you have on your team

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: and the understanding based on history, that more times than not,

70
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: teams full of really talented players tend to have better records.

71
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: I know it's crazy concept, but it does normally work

72
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: out that way. However, I hear some of you yelling already.

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: There's somebody out there listening right now on an elliptical

74
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: machine at a gym somewhere in the US OFA. And

75
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: you're saying, Hey, they had a lot of talent last year,

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: didn't they? Yes, they did well. Then anyway, a Bowl

77
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: game last year? Did they know? They did not? What

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: say you? I say I saw it just like you did.

79
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: That's an exception to the overwhelming rule. But here's the problem.

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: Let's just say the detractors are right. Let's just say

81
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: the haters are right, and it was on Jimbo. Well,

82
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: Jimbo's still the head coach there, you know, so if

83
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: it was on Jimbo, he better have made some changes now.

84
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: We all know he did, at least from what we

85
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: can see, he did make changes. A lot of guys left,

86
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: He brought in some influential pieces, namely an offensive coordinator.

87
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: He brought them in. And at this point, I'm just

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: kind of telling you a lot of what you already know.

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: That's the point, Like everyone knows that, the Vegas oddsmakers

90
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: know that A and M fans know that still a

91
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: big question mark team. And with both of these teams

92
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: I've talked about so far, Oh you and A and M.

93
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: You picture getting into October and then early November if

94
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: they've already lost a handful of games. Man, think about

95
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: the conversation. Think about how uncomfortable that starts to get.

96
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: There's always a handful of teams where there's a lot

97
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: of optimism, but there's also no room for error because

98
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: you've used up a lot of your equity. And I

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: think that absolutely fits Jimbo Fisher. What about Miami, We're

100
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: gonna be down there later this week. What about the Canes?

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: Bad last year? Really bad last year? So much as

102
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: is normally the case when you have a new staff

103
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: that comes in. This is kind of like the Oklahoma vibe.

104
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: New staff comes in, you immediately have high hopes. Sometimes

105
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: it pans out. Other times, like with Miami, it doesn't.

106
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: You're not happy about it. However, you're able to convince yourself, okay,

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: sometimes things have to get the darkest before dawn. You

108
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: can tell yourself those sorts of things. You can say,

109
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: maybe we just had a little bit more of a

110
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: rebuild than I thought. Maybe we had to hit the

111
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: dump button on a little bit more of the program

112
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: than I thought. You know that every one of us

113
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: has been through that at some point with teams we

114
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: root for, and it's not always just college football, but

115
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: especially in college football. Well, anyway, they did all that,

116
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of roster turn two new coordinators. We're

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: going to talk to those guys later this week. Tyler

118
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: Van Dyke is back, and there was some concern that

119
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: maybe he would be moving on, and so that was

120
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of the off the field drama. Well, they've

121
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: recruited pretty well, they have portaled pretty well. They're over

122
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: underwent total seven and a half, so a little bit

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: lower than the other two I just mentioned. But with

124
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Miami it's the same thing. If they get off to

125
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: a hot start, let's just say a and M comes

126
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: in there early in the year and Miami beats them,

127
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: that'd be a really really big win for them, really

128
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: big win, because this is a team with the fifth

129
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: best odds to win the ACC even now fifth best odds.

130
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: I didn't just mention a conference game, but if they

131
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: beat A and M, that should boo your confidence quite

132
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: a bit for how you may fare in the conference slate. Now,

133
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: they do have to play Clemson, they do have to

134
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: play Florida State, like they they draw most of the

135
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: high odds teams in the ACC, So it's not going

136
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: to be easy. That Louisville game right after a trip

137
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: to Florida State's not easy towards the end of the year.

138
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: Either could go one of two ways. So that's a

139
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: big question mark team for me. And the last one

140
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: is about thirty five or forty minutes to the west

141
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: of where I grew up. Auburn not as much as

142
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: expected of Auburn. Auburn's over underwent total is barely above

143
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: the bowl line of demarcation. They're like six and a

144
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: half I think is they're over under seven. So it's

145
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: up to seven now and that's been bet up. It

146
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: wasn't six and a half earlier in the market cycle,

147
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: so famously at this point, I think if you've been

148
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: paying attention, if you're one of one of us who

149
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: does not take an off season, you've been paying attention.

150
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, Auburn has portaled really hard themselves. They have

151
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: basically brought an entire offense in. They've brought two, maybe

152
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: three starting receivers in. They have addressed pretty much every

153
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: position up to an including quarterback. And so they bring

154
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: in Peyton Thorne from Michigan State. That's probably your starter,

155
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: probably several pieces defensively, it's just a bunch of newness,

156
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: and that includes head coach. And so you know, when

157
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze gets hired, I think the first reaction from

158
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: a lot of us listening right now and the one

159
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: guy here talking is what Hugh Freeze does offensively is

160
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: not the most complex system in America. So it doesn't

161
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: take a bunch of guys struggling and like barely keeping

162
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: their head above water to try and grasp the concepts

163
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: in year one. If you've got players, especially if they've

164
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: been underutilized by the previous staff, Hugh Freeze is the

165
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: kind of guy who can come in and squeeze a

166
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: lot more immediately out of a team offensively, at least

167
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: than you thought could be squeezed out. But you have

168
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: to have those players, to put it bluntly, they didn't

169
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: when he first got on campus. They are closer to

170
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: being that now. That's what makes them a question mark team,

171
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: because they could absolutely go six and six, or they

172
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: could pull some random upsets and go nine and three.

173
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: And then if they go nine and three, I can't

174
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: even I can't even begin to tell you how egregious

175
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: the hype machine would be this time a year from now.

176
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Good questions, though, So my question mark teams, and this

177
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: was kind of off the top of my head. I'm

178
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: going to go owe you. I think a and m

179
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: I think Miami, and I think Auburn. I didn't do

180
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: a single pack twelve team, and you know, good and well,

181
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: I could do half the PAC twelve In that segment too,

182
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: I did a little bit different. I did a little

183
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: bit different routine today. You can probably hear it in

184
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: my voice. So there's a mixture of caffeine and exhaustion.

185
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: And that's because I went to the gym. You know.

186
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: We got to fly out of here in a little

187
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: while as you're listening. We got to fly out of

188
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: here a little while to go to Miami, and so

189
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: already went to the gym. We had to postpone recording

190
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: the pod for a little while because I couldn't stop sweating.

191
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: So that's what happens when you do legs and you

192
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: come right over to the studio hoopsed amongst us, by

193
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: the way, hasn't done that a time or two, and now, irresponsibly,

194
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: I've got coffee in my hand, not colbrew. And I

195
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: said that about two weeks ago on the extra pod,

196
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of you came in my DMS and said, careful,

197
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: you'll go blind again. And I realized it's been a

198
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: little while since I told that story. Maybe not all

199
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: of you get that. It's really a pretty quick story.

200
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: I was pounding way too much Starbucks colbrew this time

201
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: last year, and it culminated with me having partial blindness

202
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: and light sensitivity by the time the season got here.

203
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: So your boy was just randomly wearing sunglasses on air.

204
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: Management didn't like it. They thought I was trying to

205
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: make a statement. The statement was I can't open my

206
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: eyes without these sunglasses on. That was the statement. So

207
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: we have backed off the cold brew. We're just going coffee.

208
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: Here's the problem as we get set to go to Miami,

209
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: that entire coaching staff inhales Cuban coffee all day. Christ

210
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: of all does it. He's done it since birth. The

211
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: rest of them do it, I think via peer pressure.

212
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: And we went down there a couple of weeks ago.

213
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you about this, but we went down

214
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: there and hung out a couple of weeks ago, and

215
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: I had some for the first time and I just

216
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: went to sleep like two days ago after drinking that.

217
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: So I assume some of that is in our future.

218
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: So I honestly, I don't know what the future holds

219
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: for any of us. I may not be able to

220
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: see the camera by the time we get back Sunday. Okay,

221
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: next question here, Trevor from Dune, Iowa. Is a fall

222
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: wedding on a Friday? Okay? I do think I need

223
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: to take the gavel in my hand and I need

224
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: to come down on this one way or the other. Yes,

225
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: it's okay. That's why I stopped short. When you guys

226
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: come at me and you say fall weddings, ban fall weddings,

227
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: it's not ban fall weddings, although that sounds a lot

228
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: better than ban Saturday fall weddings. Saturdays in the fall,

229
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: that's our time, not Thursday, not Friday, although I could

230
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: see if you need to travel Friday it could be

231
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: a great, big hindrance for you. But look, let's just

232
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: let's be real about this. You and I probably are

233
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: not getting married on a Saturday. But we do have

234
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: buddies who have been dragged, kicking and screaming into that world.

235
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: And you know, embarrassingly, some of them aren't even kicking

236
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: or screaming. They just walk into that world. And that's

237
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: something you'll never be able to explain to me. But whatever,

238
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: So in the world, the real world and whence we live,

239
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen. You're eventually going to have to

240
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: be invited to this. Not all of you can be

241
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: me and say I have to work on Saturday. It's

242
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: the greatest cop out that I have professionally. Its being

243
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: able to say I got to work on Saturday. So

244
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: for those of you who find yourself in this predicament,

245
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: dare I say this conundrum? Ask yourself? Would you rather

246
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,479
Speaker 1: be stuck somewhere? We're in a chapel on a Saturday

247
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: in a suit that you never like to pull out

248
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: of the closet at a venue you only really want

249
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: to be out on Sunday morning. You definitely don't want

250
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: to be there on Saturday afternoon participating in a ceremony

251
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: that's not for you and it's not made for you,

252
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: and it is not your scene. Do you want to

253
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: do that on Saturday, or if it's gonna happen anyway,

254
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: do you want to do it on a Friday? Personally,

255
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: I've had many people come to me who got dragged

256
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: into Saturday weddings themselves, and they said, well, we couldn't

257
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: do it on a Friday because people don't want to

258
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: burn a vacation day to come to the wedding. You're

259
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: dead wrong about that. You're absolutely wrong about that. They

260
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: don't want to come to the wedding period in the fall.

261
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you the truth because they can't tell

262
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: you that because they're too good a friend to you.

263
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm real with you. They don't want to

264
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: come to your wedding at all. But if you're going

265
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: to have your wedding in the fall, I promise you

266
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: knowing our audience like I do, I promise you there's

267
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes in Macon, Georgia, or Charlotte, North Carolina,

268
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: or Cody, Wyoming. Even right now listening saying I would

269
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: ten times rather burn one of my vacation days, get

270
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: that thing over with Friday, and get home so I

271
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: can have one of my twelve Saturdays per fall to myself,

272
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: I'd much rather do that then keep the vacation day

273
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: but burn a Saturday. You make the mistake of thinking

274
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: the vacation day to them is more valuable than the Saturday,

275
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: and it's not. I say them, the saturdays are more

276
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: valuable to us than the vacation days. Now look full disclosure,

277
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: you're listening to someone here who never has to worry

278
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: about this. And also, even if I did, I don't

279
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: take vacation anyway, and so I got all the vacation

280
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: time in the world. So gladly, will I let you

281
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: take my vacation and burn it if it means that

282
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: I get to get to be free on a Saturday.

283
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: Saturday freedom Tour could very well be what we call

284
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: this falls Tour trademark TM. That's ours now, just in

285
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: case I like it. After we record and I think

286
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: about it later tonight. All right, let's move it along.

287
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: Adrian from Kingwood Tech Sis asks which format would be

288
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: in the best interest of the SEC in the sport

289
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: overall when accounting for the changes made to the playoff,

290
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: the current eight game conference schedule, or the nine game

291
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: conference schedule with three annual opponents. Adrian, I'm going to

292
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: answer in my perfect case because we've talked about this

293
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: a lot, so I'm not going to do the whole

294
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: rehashing of whether they should play eight, whether they should

295
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: play nine, Is it fair, is it unfair. We've all

296
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: spoken our mind on that, no one's changing their mind,

297
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: and so you know, my stance was, I prefer them

298
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: play nine. I guess, but I get some of the

299
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: reasons they cited why they're not going to nine at

300
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: least yet, although I think ultimately they're going to go

301
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: to nine. But his question was, Okay, what's the best format? Well,

302
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: on Late Kick Live Sunday night, I chowed you some

303
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: tweets from a pair of our buddies at College Football

304
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: Nerds on Twitter. They have a really, really good show.

305
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: They mainly do it in the fall, a lot more analytical,

306
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: a lot more numbers based than we are, so it's

307
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of a good partner product. Cole Kubulicks show, College

308
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: Football Nerds, our show. That's a nice little three pack

309
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: if you want to kind of get every angle. You

310
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: got Cole, who's an actual ex's and those guy played

311
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: the game. He's he's with a coaching staff every week.

312
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: You got us over here doing what we do, and

313
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: then you got the numbers guys. That's a really good

314
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: three pack. So anyway, they put something up last weekend

315
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and I showed it to you on the

316
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Show because it's absolutely how I feel. You

317
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: want to know what my perfect format would be. It

318
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't be nine games. Actually, I would have the whole

319
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: country play eight conference games, and then I would require

320
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: that they play two Power five out of conference games minimum,

321
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: and that is ten obviously, and then your eleventh game

322
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: could be a G five game, your twelfth game if

323
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: you want to keep your FCS game. I don't think

324
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: it's the worst thing in the world. I don't love it,

325
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's the worst thing in the world.

326
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Outside of that, I'll tell you what my real perfect

327
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: case scenario would be. I'd love for everybody to play

328
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: eight conference games and four out of conference Power five opponents,

329
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: So you're getting the quality of schedule that you want,

330
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: and we're all getting entertaining matchups. And there is no

331
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: FCS tomato can cream puff, cupcake, whatever you want to say,

332
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: on any one schedule. But here's what we're also getting.

333
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: We're not getting this incestuous world where you're only playing

334
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: teams in your little bubble, which is kind of what

335
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: we end up with right now. And how many times

336
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: have we seen this At the end of the year,

337
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: we're talking with the playoff committee or you're talking with pollsters,

338
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: and you're listening to the conversation of, well, yes, so

339
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: and so's ten and one, but we really don't know

340
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: how that equates to this nine and two team, because

341
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: the nine and two team, we think is in a

342
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: better conference. But all you're doing is guessing why because

343
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: you haven't had enough cross conference data points, you haven't

344
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: had enough teams from other conferences play each other. And

345
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: if you did, it wouldn't be foolproof, but you'd go

346
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,359
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot further in realizing how conference

347
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: strength stacks up in a given year. So that's why

348
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: I love it. Also, it just gives you. It gives

349
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: you a little breakup of the monotony. I love watching rivalries.

350
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: I love watching conference matchups that we know we're going

351
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: to see every year or every other year. I'm not

352
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: saying take that away. You're playing eight of them. In

353
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: my format, you're playing eight of them. But then you're

354
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: also you're occasionally just I don't know, you're watching Florida

355
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: State go and play Michigan. You're watching Texas A and

356
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: M go and play I don't know, Oregon State. Just

357
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: random matchups we never get to see. Maybe in bowl season,

358
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: but bull season is not akin to a regular season game.

359
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: So that'd be my perfect format. You play four out

360
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: of conference power fives, all power fives, and you play

361
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: eight conference games. That's a perfect world. We'll probably never

362
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: get there, but you wanted my perfect world. That's my

363
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: perfect world. Oh man, how do you guys drink coffee?

364
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: By the way, So I'm not a huge coffee guy,

365
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: so I just drink it black, and I know, I mean,

366
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, my dad used to always drink it like that,

367
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: and I took one sip of it and thought, this

368
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: guy's a psycho. But now that's exactly how I drink it.

369
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: I guess you do get more and more like your

370
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: parents every single day. Huh. This Twitter handles a real thing,

371
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: isn't it. At Pate's pong paddle hit us up from

372
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: parts unknown, probably forts in Georgia, and he said, I

373
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: get not questioning individual play calls, but is it reasonable

374
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: to question a series of plays like Bama calling nine

375
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: straight pass plays for three straight three and outs in

376
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: the second quarter versus LSU. Not to be too specific,

377
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: I have this thing on our show. I hate people

378
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: questioning play calling. I don't hate people who question play calling,

379
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: because that would be a hateful attitude. I don't hate

380
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: the person, but the thing that some people do continuously

381
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: just questioning play calling. I've never been about it. You've

382
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: probably never turned on one of my shows on Sunday

383
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: and heard me question play calling. However, yeah, I've I've

384
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: had a time or two where I questioned an overall

385
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: philosophy or an overall approach. You know, like, if I

386
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: think that you have a definite advantage the interior of

387
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: your offensive line versus the interior of someone's defensive front,

388
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: and you don't exploit that in the red zone, I

389
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: question that if you're continually going to something that I

390
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: don't feel is your strength, I question that individual plays.

391
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't question, and look, half the time, I may

392
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: even be wrong when I'm questioning your philosophy, but I

393
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: don't think it's egregious to do that. The reason I

394
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: personally don't traffic in it a lot is because one

395
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: of the blessings that we get when we go meet

396
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: with coaching staffs is sometimes we'll sit down with like

397
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator, and I will frequently ask those guys

398
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: about a game that happened the year before, still fresh

399
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: in their mind, and I'll ask them, hey, what about

400
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: this play, what about this sequence? Take me through it.

401
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: They could go for an hour, and what they're doing

402
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: is there rarely just pulling up that play and saying,

403
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: all right, here's what happened, Here's why it didn't work.

404
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes yet it's just a lack of execution. But most

405
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: of the time, what they have to do to explain

406
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: a play call, what a college football coach has to do,

407
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: if they're really going to be thorough about it, is

408
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: they have to take you all the way back to spring,

409
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: and they have to take you all the way back

410
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: to their self scouting, and they have to take you

411
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: all the way back to their player evals, and they

412
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: have to take you all the way back to strength

413
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: and conditioning teams showing gains or losses, and where is

414
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: a player relative to where we wanted them to and

415
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: then how does that correlate to what we want to

416
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: do in terms of changing our philosophy and what we

417
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: think would work in this set against this look and

418
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: against this front. And so then you get into spring

419
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: ball and you start working on some opponents for the

420
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: upcoming season, and you see which looks you expect, and

421
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: you see how you're tied end performs against this set

422
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: and out of this bunch set, and it's all recorded,

423
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: and they study that stuff and they hammer it and

424
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: they're running percentages and numbers, and you've got analytics going

425
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: into it. And then you go into the summer and

426
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: you're getting feedback because coaches would never watch those workouts themselves,

427
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: and you're finding out, all right, who's dropping the ball,

428
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: who's catching the ball, whose speed is still where it

429
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: needs to be in terms of our GPS monitoring. Then

430
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: you get in fall camp and you find out who

431
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: can handle the workload mentally and physically, and then maybe

432
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: you're watching the other team's spring games and you're getting

433
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: reports from them, and then you get in the season

434
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: and you're comparing what you expected from your opponents in

435
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: certain looks and situations versus what you're getting. And then

436
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: you get the game week and you're really hardcore on

437
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: installation of that specific game plan, and you have seen

438
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: in practice what you think works and what you percentage

439
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: wise think gives you the best chance to succeed, and

440
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: then it all leads up to that play in that situation,

441
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: and they can tell you plainly, we called it, it

442
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: didn't work, But most of the time they'll tell you

443
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: we'd do it again. We got the look we wanted,

444
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: we got the city situation we wanted, We had the

445
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: guys we wanted in the position we wanted. They just

446
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: out schemed us, They out executed us. Or or maybe

447
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, there was a procedural mishap before the snap,

448
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: or maybe there was a misread by the quarterback. He

449
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: was supposed to check out of this if he saw

450
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: that and he didn't. There are a million and one

451
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: things that go into a play call that a vast

452
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: majority of people on Twitter questioning play calling have no

453
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: concept of It's like you think you're looking at a

454
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: puddle and you're looking at an ocean, and if you

455
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: ever jumped into it, you'd find out quickly that's what

456
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: you'd sound like. Question and play calling. So I don't

457
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: do it because I'm smart enough at least to be

458
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: able to see that's not a puddle. And I don't

459
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: jump in because I'm not qualified to. I welcome you

460
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: to join me. I know it's not as fun, but

461
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: I welcome you to join me. However, that doesn't mean

462
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: that coaches calling plays are immune from criticism. Doesn't mean

463
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: they're perfect. People are making mistakes every drive, every series.

464
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: What I am saying is the guy who are making

465
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: the mistakes are the ones actually doing it at the

466
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: highest level possible. In most cases, you would not be

467
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: able to find someone who's better equipped to do the

468
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: job they're doing. That doesn't mean that they're perfect, far

469
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: from it. It just means the best in the world

470
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: or even gonna make mistakes, no different than a player.

471
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: It is how much can you cut down on those?

472
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: How consistently can you do it the right way? Most

473
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: guys who have a headset on calling plays, most of

474
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: them are there because they've proven themselves to be able

475
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: to do it the right way, and if they haven't,

476
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: they won't be there very long. So that's my take

477
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: on it. We move merrily along good pace here so far.

478
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: Speaking of pacing, Michael asked, really, probably one of the

479
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: burning questions of every spring, and that is why is

480
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: the football season taking so long to get here? I'm

481
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: very curious about this. I know how I feel, But

482
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of you live in a different world than me.

483
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: A lot of you have real jobs you have to

484
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: get to. A lot of you have real world problems

485
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: you have to deal with. We just get to live

486
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: in this little fantasy bubble over here where all we

487
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: do is college football. And so I'm saying that to

488
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: illustrate to you that sometimes this time of year feels

489
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: like it goes by fast to me. And it used

490
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: to not be that way. When I was working down

491
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: in the fabric warehouse, for example, spring and summer felt

492
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: like an eternity. I felt like July was eighty seven

493
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: days every year. And now I swear to you, I

494
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: feel like we were in LA for the National Championship

495
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: Game a month or two ago. That's how January feels

496
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: to me right now. And yet we've already been through

497
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: spring practice. You know, we just got out of Spring meetings.

498
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: Media Days is technically over a month away, like a

499
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: month and a half away. I feel like they're right here,

500
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: like right on the doorstep. And so I don't know

501
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I

502
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: think it's a good thing. It's certainly a good thing

503
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: to be able to be in a position where what

504
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: you're doing keeps you occupied. And it's not that I'm

505
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: working on the space station or anything. I'm actually doing

506
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: what I love to do. Although candidly, now, if anyone

507
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: at NASA's listening, I'm interested. I'm interested in going into space.

508
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of the staff's on board

509
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: here with me. Bradley would never go into space. Bradley's

510
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: only flown once, excuse me, twice there and back. But yeah,

511
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't feel like this time of year, the off season,

512
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: I just don't feel like it goes on nearly as

513
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: long as it used to. But apparently, Michael, a lot

514
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: of you disagree. So while I can tell you, Michael,

515
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: short of cryogenic freezing and don't do that, you'll just

516
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: miss out on life is find yourself a real solid

517
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: legal hobby. So don't do a lot of the stuff

518
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: I do, like train hopping. Make it legal and just

519
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: immerse yourself in it, and then come up for air

520
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: on Sundays and Tuesdays and Thursdays so you can watch

521
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: or listen to the show however however you choose. But

522
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: I can tell you, man, the biggest benefit for doing

523
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: what we do is it does not feel like any

524
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: time goes by from January all the way until August

525
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: and then September kicks off. Time just moves a whole

526
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: lot faster in spring and summer, and it did not

527
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: used to be that way. So I know exactly how

528
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: you guys feel. Trust me, I know exactly how you feel.

529
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: How does the pause feel? Because I don't know how

530
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: you feel about that? How does the pause feel? I

531
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: normally don't have any liquid out here on drinking. Well,

532
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm taking a sip of the coffee between every question.

533
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: And they teach you in broadcasting school, which I didn't

534
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: ever attend, But they teach you in broadcasting school, or

535
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: so I hear, don't let the pregnant pauses happen. But

536
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: I've always thought the pregnant pauses are good because it

537
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: makes you lean in and you think your phone's messed up,

538
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, O, never mind, he

539
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: was there the whole time. See there's another pause, all right?

540
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: Joe from Medford. Next up, Joe said, why are you

541
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: a fan of no divisions? As an Ohio State alum,

542
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: you could have a recruiting scenario where Ohio State and

543
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Michigan playing back to back weeks, which seems ridiculous. Also,

544
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: can't you see the big ten in the SEC getting

545
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: to twenty four so you'll need divisions anyway, Oh, Joe, Okay,

546
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: a lot going on here. Yes, it does seem ridiculous

547
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: to have the concept of Ohio State and Michigan playing

548
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: in back to big weeks. Yes, I agree with you there,

549
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the answer is because I

550
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to move that game off of

551
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: the last weekend of the regular season. That's tradition, right.

552
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: But if you're going to do away with divisions and

553
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: we're just taking the top two teams, yes, you do

554
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: run the risk, like we've seen in the NFL sometimes

555
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: of you playing a team in the last week of

556
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: the season. And then voila, they're your first round playoff opponent,

557
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 1: or in this case, they're your conference championship opponent. And

558
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, there is this crazy, crazy, crazy world out

559
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: there where you play the same team three times in

560
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: a year in the expanded playoff era and the no

561
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: division expanded playoff era. You're not wrong here. Now, that

562
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: doesn't counter the fact that I still think divisionless formatting

563
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: strictly to determine a conference champ in principle, is the

564
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: better format. What is a division? Think about what a

565
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: division is. It's just a little imaginary line someone drawing

566
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: a map. For that matter. That's all conferences are, but

567
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: especially that's all a division is. So your imaginary line

568
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: just happens to suck in the Big Ten because it

569
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: has three not just of the best teams for now,

570
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: but perennially three of the best teams in that conference

571
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: every year. Are on one side, you got Michigan, you

572
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: got Ohio State, you got Penn State, And meanwhile you

573
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: got a bunch of purdues in Illinois and Minnesota does

574
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: over on the other side. Like that doesn't make sense.

575
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: And what Joe's saying is, Okay, well, that sounds all great,

576
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: but you knocked down that wall. Then all of a sudden,

577
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Michigan played the last week of the year,

578
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: and then one of them wins, but they're still the

579
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: two best teams. And then they go play again. How

580
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: would that next weekend's game feel? It feels weird. You're

581
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: not wrong, You're not wrong at all. And then Joe said, hey,

582
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: could you see both of these big conferences just get

583
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: into twenty four teams and if they get there, wouldn't

584
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: you need divisions? Again, I've got a thought on that,

585
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: and I have not marinated on it long enough to

586
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: really present it, but I don't think that's so far off.

587
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: If they go to twenty just even twenty teams a piece,

588
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Joe's so far off. And now I

589
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: think there are two possibilities. I think they may go

590
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: to ten conference games a piece. I think they may

591
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: do that. But I also I don't think it's the

592
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: craziest concept in the world. This is all I'm saying.

593
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the craziest concept in the world

594
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: to look at the Big Ten continuing to expand and

595
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: the SEC continuing to expand and thinking that, yeah, they

596
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: got rid of divisions for a second or two. But

597
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: once they get inflated to twenty or twenty four teams,

598
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: might they go right back to it? And might they

599
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: just kind of recreate their own little power five? Do

600
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: you hear what I've just said there? What if? What

601
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: if the Big ten went to let's say twenty four

602
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: teams and they split twelve and twelve. What if the

603
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: SEC went to twenty teams and they split ten and ten?

604
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: You had like four power divisions there, and really they

605
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: look like conferences. And let me let me break it

606
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: down even further for you. If the Big ten were

607
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: to have twenty four teams and the SEC had twenty teams,

608
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: and then each of them split down the middle and

609
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: there were twelve on each side and ten on each side.

610
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: Does that not roughly sound to you like the AFC

611
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: and the NFC. And what if what if before they

612
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: went to any national championship? What if they had their

613
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: own little mini playoff just right in their conference? You know,

614
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: what if the two best from one side of the

615
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: Big ten played the two best from the other side

616
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 1: and semi final games and then and then, and they

617
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: may be met in a conference championship game, ditto in

618
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: the SEC, and then the SEC is spitting out its

619
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: conference champ to play against the Big ten's conference champ.

620
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: This mirrors the NFL playoff system. It's what I'm saying.

621
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: I am not advocating for this. Anyone who's listened to

622
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: this show for more than ten seconds knows this is

623
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: not my dream scenario, a lot more nightmare. But if

624
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: that's where you're going, that may be what you end

625
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: up with. That's why I'm so fascinated. When we get

626
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: out of this current media deal, this current playoff contract,

627
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: which only runs for two more years, and they have

628
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: to renegotiate this thing again, I'm curious how big is

629
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: the Big Ten at that point, how big is the

630
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: SEC at that point, and how willing are they to

631
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: just carry over the current model that we'll have next

632
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: year where it's six conference champs auto bid and then

633
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: it's six at larges. Are they just okay with that?

634
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see some of you aren't okay

635
00:31:53,960 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: with this, but it's happening anyway. Yeah, we're back. James

636
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: from Woodstock, Georgia asks shortening games is all but guaranteed

637
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: with sixteen to seventeen games in the expanded playoff. As

638
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: college football commissioner, how would you achieve this? Well, James,

639
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: the first thing I would do is nothing, and I

640
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: would actually go in reverse. See, going backwards is not

641
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: always anti progress. If you turn left down a dead

642
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: end road, James, and I'm in the passenger seat saying

643
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: the GPS is wrong, it can't mean this. I'm just

644
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: yelling at you like Dwight Shruit. If I throw it

645
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: in reverse, I'm not killing progress. I'm saving you from

646
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: running into a dead end. And that, in a lot

647
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: of cases, is how I felt about some of the

648
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: changes in the sport. So, yeah, we're headed towards an

649
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: expanded playoff, and yeah we've already got measures being taken

650
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: to shortened football games. When I'm college football commissioner, We're

651
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: not doing a thing more to shorten football games. What

652
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: we may do, what we may do, And this is

653
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: not gonna be popular in the room I'm gonna have

654
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: to be in. As the commissioner is, I may look

655
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: around and I may say, I look at how many

656
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: billions of dollars are on these sheets of paper in

657
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: front of me, and I'm gonna humbly suggest that you

658
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: and you and you. I'm just looking at all the

659
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: networks in the room. At that point, I think you

660
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: guys can do with shaving one thirty second ad break

661
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: per media timeout off of your ad sales. They're gonna

662
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: look at me sideways like I just spoke to them

663
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: in Mandarin Chinese, and I'm gonna say it again. Yes,

664
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: I am saying, leave some money on the table for

665
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: the betterment of the overall product. Two of them fainted

666
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: already before I even finish the sentence, because when it

667
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 1: comes to the best interest of the sport, as far

668
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: as the people in that room are concerned, it actually

669
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: has very little to do with what the best interest

670
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: of the sport is. Like the best interest of college

671
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: football to them is what serves the big meeting companies.

672
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: And they're not evil. I'm not doing the whole thing

673
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: where I wave a torch in front of every major

674
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: media logo, the ESPNS and the CBS's I work for CBS.

675
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. But what I am saying is

676
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: when when they came to us a couple of months

677
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: ago and they said we've got to pass these new

678
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: rules because the games are taking too long, I realized

679
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: they actually thought we were stupid enough to not understand

680
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: what was going on. They thought we were actually so

681
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: stupid as to be convinced college football games have gotten longer,

682
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: like we've added minutes to the clock they've got they

683
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: haven't gotten longer. The run time has gotten longer because

684
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: you've got forty five seconds more of ad break in

685
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: each break than you used to have, And that adds up.

686
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: You're on twelve to fifteen AD spots over a random

687
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon broadcast, and all of a sudden, at forty

688
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: five extra seconds a pop, you're getting over five, sometimes

689
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: closer to seve or eight minutes more run time. And

690
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: that's not even to account for how much longer halftimes

691
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: are and how many AD breaks are sold, especially on

692
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: the bookend, at breaks going into and out of a timeout.

693
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: And they looked at you and they said, we got

694
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: a problem. Oh really, what's the problem. College football games

695
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: are too long. We got to change the clock rules.

696
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: Are you changing anything about yourself? Absolutely not, No, we're

697
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: not changing anything about ourself. What do you want us

698
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: to do? Give up money? We need all this money.

699
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: And then this is the kapper, And this is what

700
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: really gets me. I don't think our audience does this,

701
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: But some of the more casual minded amongst us do.

702
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: Some people actually clap like seals. Whenever those those conferences

703
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: release those staggering new dollar figures and those media deals.

704
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: Some people start beating their Just look at how much

705
00:35:54,280 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: money we're making. Weomst hoopstas we we the SEC? Really,

706
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: could you show me that check when it shows up

707
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: in your mailbox there in Woodstock, Georgia, could you show

708
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: me that. I don't think you can. Hey, down there

709
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: in Meridian, Mississippi, could you screenshot the direct deposit that

710
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: the SEC sent you? No, you don't have it. Why

711
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: do you care? How does it impact you if the

712
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: SEC made thirteen million less dollars a year? How does

713
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: it impact you? Answer? It doesn't. And yet they've convinced

714
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: some of you to hold the shield for him so

715
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: they don't have to take the criticism. I wouldn't shorten

716
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: games at all, is my answer. And if that gets

717
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: me ousted as college football commissioner, whatever, but no, I

718
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't shorten games at all. Somebody was asking. Somebody was

719
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: asking last night, because we're recording this on Monday, even

720
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: though you won't listen to it until Tuesday. Somebody was

721
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: asking about whether I was going to go to an

722
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 1: NBA playoff game when we're down in Miami, and y'all

723
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: were joking, like you think I've never been to an

724
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: NBA playoff game or an NBA Finals game. I give

725
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: you a story. It's about two minutes long. The year

726
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: was twenty thirteen, and your boy had been hired in

727
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: my first ever television job, and I was due to start.

728
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: I think it may be a Monday, whatever day I

729
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: was going to start. This is when I had been

730
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: working at the radio station and the television general manager

731
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: called me and he offered me an opportunity to host

732
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: my own weeknight college football show and also be the

733
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: sports anchor at the news station. I've never been on

734
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: TV before. This is at my big break. Okay, Well,

735
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: I also got tickets to the NBA Finals Game six

736
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: down in Miami. This was Spurs Heat. That's that game

737
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: where Ray Allen hit that three very very late in

738
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to send it to a game seven.

739
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: Heat end up winning. So I'm down there for that.

740
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: I miss my flight the next morning by about eight minutes.

741
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: I don't make it to Columbus to start my first

742
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: day of work, and I can't get another flight out

743
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: of Miami. True story. Now, I had to rent a

744
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: mini van because that's all they had left, And I

745
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: drove straight shot from Miami International Airport all the way

746
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: to Hartsfield in Atlanta just to pick up a car

747
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: and then drive it down. That's another hour, hour and

748
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: a half drive it down to Columbus, and I was

749
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: as angry for an extended period of time as I've

750
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: ever been. I've also never driven that fast before consistently. Well,

751
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: at the point in time, I hadn't. And so yeah,

752
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: I guess I'm telling you that story to tell you

753
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: I've been to NBA Finals games in Miami. So don't

754
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: be surprised while we're down there. If you see me

755
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: over there on on Wednesday night, we'll see time will

756
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: tell Matt from Midland, Michigan. You said college football never

757
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: felt bigger than when Florida and Bama played in the

758
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: SEC title game. What sets that apart from the other

759
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 1: big conference title games that have happened since then? Really

760
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: good question. Talked about this a lot because we were

761
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: we were kind of delving into that new documentary that's

762
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: coming out Swamp Kings on Netflix, and it's about the

763
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: Florida Gators six to nine run under Urban Meyer, and

764
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: I assume that they're going to heavily delve into these

765
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: SEC Championship games that they played in two thousand and

766
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: eight and two thousand and nine. And I said at

767
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: the at the end of the Sunday Night Show, I said,

768
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: those games felt like the pinnacle of college football to

769
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: me that period of time. College football's never felt bigger

770
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: to me than it did when it was Meyer versus Sabin,

771
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: it was t Bow, it was mark Ingram. You got

772
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: two Heisman winners on the field, both of them are undefeated.

773
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: In two thousand and nine. Florida is going for history,

774
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: like Florida is coming off a national title that they

775
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: had to go through Bama to get the year before,

776
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: and they're looking to be coordinated maybe as the best

777
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: team of all time. But the point is it was

778
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: one versus two both years, and this is the BCS era.

779
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: Those teams are the two best in the both years,

780
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: they're the two best in the country, but they're not

781
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: meeting in the national title game. They're going to the

782
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: SEC Championship Game, and the country kind of viewed the

783
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: SEC Title game as the National title game. Both years,

784
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: both winners ended up going on to win the National championship.

785
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: But the stakes were maximum, the environment was maximum. There

786
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: was such urgency, there was no safety net under the game.

787
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: You had legendary head coaches, you had legendary players on

788
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: the field. Future NFL stars littered across both rosters. And

789
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: you were watching an apex predator in the Florida Gators.

790
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: That program had become the apex predator in college football.

791
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: And you had a guy in Nick Saban come into

792
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: Alabama and in no uncertain term, say no, we're about

793
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: to take that from you. And they tried in eight

794
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: and they just missed. And then they got there again

795
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: in nine and they took Florida down. And what you knew,

796
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: so I was in the building that night, what you

797
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: knew what you were watching as you were watching a

798
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: changing of the guard, not just in the SEC but

799
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: in college football. Now, what we didn't know at the

800
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: time is Urban Meyer was not long for Florida after that.

801
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: He in fact, he was out of there after the

802
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: next year. I thought we could very well be setting

803
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: up at the time for like the SEC's on version

804
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: of the ten year war. That was bo Woody up

805
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. I thought we could be setting

806
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: up for that. Think about that, if if Urban Meyer

807
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: does not bolt from Florida, I know, the health concern,

808
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, whatever you think took him away from Gainesville,

809
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: if he just stayed there, if they stayed the course

810
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: and it was Saban Meyer for like another decade, like,

811
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: think about what the SEC would have looked like. Think

812
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: about what that back and forth would have looked like.

813
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: Because when he was gone, the next biggest challenger to

814
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: Bama ended up being LSU, and then those games were

815
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: legendary too. But if it was Saban and Meyer and

816
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: they're on the opposite sides of the SEC, so they

817
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't have always even met in the regular season, that

818
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: would have been legendary. As it was. We got a

819
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: taste of it. And I think what it was was

820
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: this was pre This was pre opt out, like no

821
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: one had ever opted out of anything. This was pre playoff,

822
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: so no one was focused on the playoff. This was

823
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: maximum regular season. It was maximum importance on every game.

824
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: You lose once and you're going to be done, and

825
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: both of them go into the SEC Championship game, won

826
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: two each year and the loser knows we're out. You'll

827
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: never get that again because you can never have teams

828
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: that elite go into a late season game knowing that

829
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: we cannot lose today or we're going to be out

830
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: of here cause the expanded playoff will remove that urgency.

831
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: And so some of you think that's worth it. Some

832
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: of us don't think that's worth it. But whatever it's

833
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: going to happen. I have not felt like college football

834
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: has ever been bigger than that time. And I think

835
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: some of you got a huge college audience that listens

836
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: to the show, So some of you you were alive

837
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: when this happened, but maybe you weren't old enough to

838
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: like really get it. I got it, like I was

839
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: at least old enough at that point to get it.

840
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: And if you got it, think you know what I'm

841
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: talking about. And there's some folks who were on those

842
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: coaching staffs who listened to this show, who I've spoken

843
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: with because we talked about it Sunday night. They echoed

844
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: the same sentiment. Man, everybody was locked into that game,

845
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: those two games. Everybody was locked into amazing times all right,

846
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: next up? Or is that it? Bradley no, we got

847
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: one more. Okay, Nick from Tampa, Florida. How can the

848
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: NCAA be fixed, overhauled, or replaced. It feels like it's

849
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: ran by FIFA's step bladder. Could the Power fives break off?

850
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: Could they force transparency or more competence? And that again

851
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: was Nick down in Tampa, Florida. Careful what you ask for.

852
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: It's what I always get told when I suggest this

853
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: to people in the college football administrative world. Everyone thinks

854
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: they want that. Everyone thinks they want Power five teams

855
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: and leagues to break off from the nc DOUBLEA. But

856
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: when you look under the hood and you look at

857
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: what the NA is good for, it's not their stated mission,

858
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 1: Like there's stated mission and purpose. They're not that great

859
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: at that stuff. But what they are great at doing

860
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: is the same thing Roger Goodell's great at doing for

861
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: NFL owners, and that is protecting them. The NCAA protects

862
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: a lot of these Power five leagues. And what I

863
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: mean by that is it cost money to run college football,

864
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: and it's several tens of millions of dollars a year.

865
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: But I'm not talking about keeping the lights on in

866
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: the stadium or making sure you got new pads or uniforms,

867
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: and the plane trips are paid for it. Not that

868
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: not that you, your own athletic departments are paying for

869
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: that stuff. Liability, those lawsuits that get filed against college

870
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: football that happen all the time. Most of the time

871
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: you don't see them. You know who's litigating those. It's

872
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: not the University of Utah, It's not Tennessee. It's the NCUBLEA.

873
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: You played at Tennessee, you got a sustained neck injury

874
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: that that gives you trouble later in life, and you

875
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: get sucked in. Well, you don't get sucked in, you

876
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: get included in a class action lawsuit. It's not against

877
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: the SEC or Tennessee. It's against the NCAA. And right now,

878
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: the NCAA is the one where the pocketbook opens up

879
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: and those costs come out. Well, are you ready to

880
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: shoulder that? A lot of leagues say no. And so

881
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: when this gets presented, Yeah, you get hamstrung sometimes by

882
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: their lacks of daisical approach to enforcement and then other

883
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: times their aggressive approach to enforcement. And yeah, it's mind boggling.

884
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes while they'll approve one appeal and they won't approve

885
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: another appeal. Takes forever for a coach to find out

886
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: if he's going to have a show cause or not.

887
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: All that is very, very aggravating. However, if you want

888
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: to break away, you got to make sure you're really

889
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: ready to break away. And some leagues think they're ready

890
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: to break away, but they're not actually ready to break away. Now,

891
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,919
Speaker 1: this is boring to college football fans like you guys

892
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: don't care about what's happening in the courtroom. I do

893
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: care about what's happening on a field. I'm just telling

894
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: you part of the hiccup, part of the hold up

895
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: for this happening is what I'm talking about. Liability, liability, liability.

896
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: It costs money to defend college football, and not all

897
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: conferences are ready to do it, despite what some of

898
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: those gigantic media deals would suggest. Now, now I'll come

899
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: back and I'll actually say what those media deals indicate

900
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: is maybe a couple of them are going to be

901
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: equipped to do that. But it is not cheap. It

902
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: ain't cheap to run a college football league or conference

903
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. All right, big week

904
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: coming up. I ask you, guys, humbly, humbly ask you

Speaker 1: subscribe and then go get Mom's phone and subscribe there too.

906
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,040

907
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: harm to her. Don't worry. We love Mom, and I
