1
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to lakekig is Live. It is Tuesday Night, Yes, kids,

2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: Tuesday Night, August ninth. You have our lower twenty twenty

3
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: two from now until about Vallentine's Day. When you think

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: of Tuesdays, I think of us. We are jam packed

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: high a top an extremely volatile in stormy downtown Nashville,

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee right now, whispers and intel from coast to coast.

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: This is the show to come to if you want

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: to scoop and the juice on the very latest going

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: on in camps all across the country. Also several thoughts

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: on sort of an evolving and developing situation when it

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: comes to the Big ten media rights steal, which is

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 1: something that I will admit sounds boring to a lot

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: of you, but as I've told you over the past

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: three months, it shouldn't be it. It involves every one

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: of you and every one of the teams that you

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: root for in the overall landscape of college football. I'm

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: going to tell you tonight why this is gonna probably

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: end up being a good thing for all of us.

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: We've taken some l's, we've caught some strays as hardcore

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: college football fans over the last few months. You gotta

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: enjoy the wins and take the wins when you can

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: get them. I think all of us are getting a

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: win here, and I'll tell you why. Bold Predictions wraps

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: up tonight. It culminates tonight, and it's gonna be a

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: double feature. We're going too deep on Bold Predictions this evening.

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: And also, I am going to answer a question that

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: I think thousands of you at this point have asked me,

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: and that is which of the preview magazines out there

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: do I rely on? Which one do I like the most?

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: I sometimes mockingly refer to this time of year's preview

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: magazine season, But that doesn't mean I don't crack open

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: a preview mag and I've got my favorite, You've got

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: your favorites. I'm gonna point some out tonight though, that

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: I think you need to really have as part of

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: your preseason. Arsenal, they're watching us in Orange, Texas, Salt

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Lake City, Utah, laj Georgia, Rigby, Idaho is tuned in.

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: I Am not going to spend a lot of time

38
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: on this, but I will tell you there are new

39
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: idea coming to the Late Kickstore, possibly as early as tonight.

40
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Definitely as late as tomorrow at the latest paystatemterial dot com.

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: Keep an eye out, kids, keep an eye out. Let's

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: dive into Camp Whispers and Intel. There's a lot going on.

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: You got to stay up to date on this stuff.

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: If you're going to be a casual fan, if you're

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: going to be a passive fan, it may not be important,

46
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: but it's not the clientele we have on this show.

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: So Camp Whispers and Intel, what's the very latest we're hearing.

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: Let's start in Baton Rouge. Let's talk about that quarterback situation.

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: If you tuned out after spring and you're just coming back,

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how to put this. You really haven't

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: missed anything. We don't endorse that sort of behavior, but

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to the LSU quarterback situation, you really

53
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: haven't missed anything. When we last left off, For those

54
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: of you who did check out after spring and wanted

55
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: to live your life in the summer months, you had

56
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Miles Brennan there, healthy again. He started for LSU a

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: few times before, Garrett Nussmeier, the young up and comer,

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, the Arizona State transfer comes in, and we

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: didn't really have any kind of conclusion coming out of

60
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: spring did we We still don't have conclusion. I set

61
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: three feet from Brian Kelly at SEC media Days and

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: asked him on the record, what's the quarterback situation? Ask

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: them off the record, all right, what's really the quarterback situation?

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: The quarterback situation is as it appears. They've gone through

65
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: a few days of camp down there. I know that

66
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: there have been some wheels turning, and you've heard a

67
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of whispers. Maybe if you're paying

68
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: close attention out of LSU about how Garrett Nusmyer was

69
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: taking reps with the ones, I would not say that's nothing.

70
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: I would not draw conclusions from it at all. Brian

71
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: Kelly's been pretty open and fourth right, I'm telling you,

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: I keep emphasizing that for a reason, there's nothing to hide.

73
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Some places they're trying to manufacture the illusion of quarterback battle.

74
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: That's not LSU. What I do think is going to happen,

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: and this is a theme obviously throughout Fall camp, is

76
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: when you start to get into a scrimmage setting, and

77
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: really at LSU, just when they start to get into

78
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: full eleven on eleven, you scrimmage in some shape form

79
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: or fashion multiple times a week. When they start to

80
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: get into that and they start working the full gamut,

81
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, third down looks for example, I don't even

82
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: think they've got deep into that yet. That's when the

83
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: reps start to matter. That's when who's running with the

84
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: ones starts to matter. And ultimately, you do not go

85
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: three deep in a quarterback battle for any length of

86
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: time in fall camp. Think most of us know that. However,

87
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: as I've shot down all of the speculation, let me

88
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: ramp it right back up. It's been a familiar theme

89
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: on this here program that we believe in Garrett Nusmeyer.

90
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: I think he is the highest upside guy there. And

91
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: when you've got a fresh start and you've got a

92
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: new offensive staff coming in, there are no preconceived notions,

93
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: and even if there were, I would still halfway like

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: Garrett Nusmeyer's chances. I think he's going to end up

95
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: starting for them at some point this year. What I

96
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: don't know, nor does anyone else down there know, is

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: whether it's going to be against Florida State in Week one.

98
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: So yes, there's a lot of legitimacy to Garrett Nussmeyer

99
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: and his shot at the starting LSU quarterback job. It's

100
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: not because he's been running with the ones. In fact,

101
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't really make much of that. His performance and

102
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: his ability level, that's what's going to get him there ultimately,

103
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: not how practice reps have been divvied ups. Let's go

104
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin. I'm gonna say a sentence right now that

105
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: you don't hear me say a lot. Let's talk about

106
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin passing game. Bottle that up, Jesse. We may

107
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: out hear it again this year. I am jaded. That

108
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: is my default position towards Wisconsin offensively and ultimately therefore

109
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: their ceiling as a team any given year, because they're

110
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: never going to be bad. They're always a really good team.

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: But you know, they are what they are. I guess

112
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: it's the best way to describe them. Offensively, they are

113
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: what they are. They can really brutalize inferior rosters and

114
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: they let's be real, now, we've watched Wisconsin go toe

115
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: to toe against superior talent rosters and hold their own.

116
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: But they're not going to get into any kind of

117
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: Big Ten championship situation or playoff setting and have any

118
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: success because they haven't been able to stretch the field

119
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: and then there was this little ray of sunshine named

120
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: Graham Mertz that comes in a couple of years ago,

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: and we think it's going to be different, and it

122
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: really hasn't been different to this point. Enter the name

123
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Skyler Bell. Skyler Bell. I know it's early, Okay, we

124
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: can say that about every update I'm gonna give you.

125
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Skyler Bell has been a standout. He was a standout

126
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: in the Spring for them. So this is not a

127
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: new name to those of you and around Madison. It

128
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: is a new name because I haven't spoken about him

129
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: on the show yet. But Skyler Bell is a wide

130
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: receiver and he is a guy who shined for them

131
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: in spring, and so it was kind of one of

132
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: those all right, let's see if he can carry it

133
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: over into fall camp. Well so far, I mean Monday,

134
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: for example, everyone was talking about him. I got text

135
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: about him, I got text about the Wisconsin Wide Receiver Corp,

136
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: namely Skyler Bell, the other day. That was very it

137
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: was very well encouraging. However, knowing my jaded position on

138
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin passing game, I will admit to you I

139
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: am still in a remains to be seen. Got to

140
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: prove it to me, sort of camp. That's fine. What's

141
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: the impact ultimately here? Because I don't really care if

142
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: I hear names. I want to see a tangible difference

143
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: in the overall offensive output. That's where I got to

144
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: wait a few games in and I gotta see box scores.

145
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: We got to see day I mean, we've got to

146
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: have our eyeballs on football games. If all of a sudden,

147
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Wisconsin and I'm saying, you know what,

148
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: they can do, everything they've been able to do, And

149
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: then there's that ellipsies, as my eleventh grade grammar teacher

150
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: told me, that was called. And then you're saying, and

151
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: that's sky La Belkip that passing game, you know, Graham Mertz.

152
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: After all, wouldn't that be fun to say? Wouldn't that

153
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: be wouldn't that be a little shot of adrenaline in

154
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: the Big ten Western Division picture. Let's fly down to Austin, Texas,

155
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: but not to talk about the quarterback position. No, no, no,

156
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: Let's dive a little deeper with the Longhorns, shall we.

157
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: What are the hopes of the twenty twenty two Texas

158
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: Longhorns really built on As is usually the case with

159
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: any team with high expectations. The lines of scrimmage, pass rush,

160
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: and offensive line are two critical factors that were in

161
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: relative states of disarray last year. And that was a

162
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: fancy way of saying they just kind of sucked in

163
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: both areas. And this year there is reason for guarded optimism.

164
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: But it's not like someone flipped a magical switch down

165
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: there and all of a sudden they got all Americans

166
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: from left to right across the O line and they

167
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: got four different will Anderson's in Austin. It's still a

168
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: work in progress. And that's why even if quinn Ewers

169
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: is a guy who pans out this year, that doesn't

170
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: automatically solve all of Texas's problems. Well, now we start

171
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: to get into fall camp, and now we start to

172
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: hear how they're rotating guys. And here's what we did know.

173
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: We knew even in spring when they could not even

174
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: practice like they wanted to because that true freshman class

175
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: had not come in yet. You can put two and

176
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: two together and reasonably assume, well, that means true freshmen

177
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: are going to have to play on the offensive line

178
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: at some point this year. And Kal Hudson, who is

179
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: ur Cole Hudson, I can't remember. Kayla Cole Hudson is

180
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: a guy who was there. He's one of the true

181
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: freshman offensive woman who was there in spring, and he

182
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: is taking reps with the first team at right guard.

183
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: Another guy named Kelvin Banks, you remember because he once

184
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: committed to Oregon and then backed out of that and

185
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: ended up committing to Texas. He's an end State product.

186
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: He's running with the two left tackle. This is before

187
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: they've really gone full pads out there. This is definitely

188
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: before they've scrimmaged so far. You're gonna see true freshmen

189
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: on the offensive line for Texas at some point this

190
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: year because the true freshmen, even though they are just

191
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: that true freshmen, are going to bypass guys who have

192
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: tenure about themselves. That's the nature of the athlete they

193
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: just recruited in this past class, and it's also a

194
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: nature it's the nature of the athlete they currently have

195
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: on campus. That is what it is. You're gonna end

196
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: up taking your lumps. That's why Texas has no big

197
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: threat to go undefeated this year. But if those guys

198
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: do end up maybe a little bit surpassing expectation, well

199
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: you know who you've gotten the backfield at running back,

200
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: and you know who you could have a quarterback, and

201
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: you definitely know who you've got out wide. So hopefully

202
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: those tumblers kind of start fall into place, but I'd

203
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: keep an eye. We will be keeping an eye on

204
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: those Texas practice reports, especially when they get on the

205
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: field and they go, you know, full scrimmage mode. Who

206
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: is starting there and how many how many true freshmen

207
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: are running in that too deep. I want to go

208
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: to Auburn quick, and I want to just talk about

209
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: the offense here for a second outside of Tank Bigsby.

210
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: Tank Bigsby, pound for pounds, one of the best running

211
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: backs in the country, regardless of program. But at quarterback,

212
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, they had sort of a three headed I

213
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know in the spring. Zach Calzada has transferred here

214
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: from Texas A and m was not able to practice

215
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: in the spring. TJ. Finley played for him at various

216
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: points last year. Kind of have what you have with TJ.

217
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: Finley and Robbie Ashford was the Oregon transfer who's also

218
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: in the mix there. And it's kind of the opposite

219
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: of some of the other quarterback situations in America where

220
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: you may look at some of them and say they

221
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: got multiple guys they probably think they can win with.

222
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: At Auburn, we've been trying to figure out whether they

223
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: have one guy they can win with. Now what's fun is,

224
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm from down there, so I know some

225
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: folks close to the program, not as many as I

226
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: used to because the new staff's in there. But you

227
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: hear such mixed reports, and then you go over to

228
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: Auburn Undercover or Auburn twenty four to seven side and

229
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: you reapractice reports. And it's early in camp obviously, but

230
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: already I've noticed a theme, and that is you'll see

231
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: wide receivers struggling with drops. But then you'll listen to

232
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: Brian Harson on that same day after the media viewing

233
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: period is over, talked about how it's one of the

234
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: best days we had, and it's just basically saying all

235
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: that to say consistency is not necessarily where it needs

236
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: to be. It's first week camp, so that's not the

237
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: biggest shock in the world. But they have to have

238
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: more to this offense than Tank Bigsby. You know, it

239
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: has to be at least has to be at least

240
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: a couple of guys out wide they have candidates. Now,

241
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: they got some surprising size actually in that wide receiver stable.

242
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: But to answer the question, who's throwing them the ball,

243
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: that's something we still haven't arrived at. And I think

244
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: that scrimmages are going to be vitally important at Auburn.

245
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: I think they've got one coming up this week where

246
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: there are people around that program who expect this guy

247
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: on your screen, Zat Calzada, to eventually separate himself. That

248
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: hasn't happened so far. But then again, the assumption I

249
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: think from a lot of folks around the Auburn program

250
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: is based on that scrimmage setting, a full football setting

251
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: being tailor made for Zach Calzada to make his move.

252
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: I've watched him play, you all have watched him play.

253
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty safe assumption. Zach Calzada plays

254
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: in such a manner that's gotten himself injured a couple

255
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: of times, so he does not have any problem putting

256
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: the pedal all the way down on the floor. I

257
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: just wonder if the pieces will develop around whoever that

258
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: quarterback is Calzada or otherwise. Last stop and we're going

259
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: to have, obviously this as a theme the entire month

260
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: of August. But at Tennessee they had problems defensively last year.

261
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: That's not the breaking news. I also don't think it's

262
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: breaking news to tell you defense has left a little

263
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: bit to be desired so far through fall camp. They've

264
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: got several scrimmages still to come to. But you know,

265
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: we're not sitting here talking about Hndon Hooker. We're not

266
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: talking about their ability to run fast tempo. I saw.

267
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it a little bit later.

268
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: But I saw in one of my favorite preview publications

269
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee was the fastest paced offense last year in terms

270
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: of plays per minute. They ran two point nine to

271
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: nine plays per minute last year, so three plays every minute.

272
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: That's moving pretty quick. But the reason sometimes they had

273
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: to do that is because they were playing catch up.

274
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: The other reason they had to do well, that's how

275
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: they run their offense. But then there's a third reason,

276
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: and that's because they know showing up when their defense

277
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: is in the kind of state it was last year,

278
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: we probably need thirty five. You just go into every

279
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: Saturday off the bus knowing we probably need thirty five today.

280
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: Does it always pan out that way? No? But we

281
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: probably need thirty five to feel comfortable, maybe even more

282
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: than that, and that's because defense, especially at linebacker last

283
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: year was just so woefully thin. Now you can do

284
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: a little bit directify that, and they did, but they

285
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: could not perform miracles up there. And as a result,

286
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: it's not surprising, as I said to hear that the

287
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: early defensive returns from Knoxville have not been glowing in nature.

288
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: They have had a lot of injury concern at corner

289
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: so far, so they really haven't been able to work

290
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: their full defensive back rotation like they want to. They

291
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: also lack quality depth, let's just call it like it is,

292
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: and that's something that's gonna take multiple recruiting classes and

293
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: portal classes directify. So that's not to rain on the parade.

294
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: It's to paint a reality based picture and to understand

295
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: that again this year, if you are one who is

296
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: going to back that power tee, you're backing them understanding,

297
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, third down stops may be a little less

298
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: few and far between than you want them to, but

299
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to score. So Hendon Hooker is gonna

300
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: have to be everything that you thought he was last year,

301
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: and you're expecting to be this year. Just the style

302
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: of play they're gonna have to have this year. It's

303
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: been done before. That's the way it's going to have

304
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: to be done this year. It is today, August ninth, right,

305
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: So we still have three saturdays too, if you're let

306
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: me straighten this microphone up two of them. If you

307
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: are a week zero, which we are, you know, so

308
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: we're already locked in though. But if you've got free

309
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: saturdays coming up, if you've got free weekends coming up,

310
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: like in Nashville, if you can dodge these rain drops,

311
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors they're calling. Do you hear them?

312
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: They're calling you. You need that outdoor gear, you need

313
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: those sporting goods. You also, I mean, I had one

314
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: of our buddies in Arkansas yesterday. Go get some steak rub. Yeah,

315
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: they've got it at Academy. I try and explain to you, guys,

316
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: if you live the sort of lifestyle that those of

317
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: us around this show tend to live, they've got everything

318
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: you need from sporting goods, equipment and beyond. And if

319
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: you can't get there in person, Academy dot com they've

320
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: got the hook up and the reason. And I try

321
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: and remind you because I know we got new listeners

322
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: and viewers every single week. The reason you're getting this

323
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: show for free is not the kindness of the company's heart.

324
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: It's not because I've got a rich uncle who has

325
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: fully subsidized this operation. It's Academy Sports and Outdoors. They

326
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: have appreciated us enough to be our exclusive partner, and

327
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: therefore we appreciate them enough to tell you that's the

328
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: place nowhere else, all due respect, that's the place to

329
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: go for all of your outdoor sporting goods needs. Academy

330
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors or Academy dot Com. We are going

331
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: part three tonight of a series that we are calling

332
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: just most important names. Who are these names that are

333
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: not just going to impact their teams, but then they're

334
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: going to have a disproportionate impact on the teams around them,

335
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: their conference, division, the entirety of the sport. Dare I

336
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: say so, let's dive into this tonight. Most important names

337
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: in college football this year. I'm going to go to

338
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: college Station. Devon Ah Chang is a He's a guy

339
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: I love to listen to Jimbo Fisher talk about Jimbo

340
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: Fisher when he talks about Devon a Chang. He almost

341
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: talks about him as if he has taken it personal

342
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: that he has not gotten more push nationally. And I

343
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: get why he's saying it, because he knows what caliber

344
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: a player he is. I also get why he has

345
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: not gotten more national push. It's because he hasn't been

346
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: a feature back there. He will, you know, theoretically, he's

347
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: got that opportunity to be this year. He split time

348
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: with Isaiah Spiller last year, and so when you look

349
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: at his numbers, you could either be a casual who

350
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: says he didn't even rush for one thousand yards, or

351
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: you can pull out you calculator and see, let's see

352
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty carries nine hundred and ten rushing yards. Wow,

353
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: that's like seven yards per carry, isn't it? And like,

354
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: yeah it is. So it doesn't take a rocket scientist,

355
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: trust me. We can do it to extrapolate those numbers out.

356
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: And what happens if we add another one hundred carries

357
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: to that workload. He also happens to be able to

358
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: run like a three eight forty, so he doesn't hurt.

359
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: If you want to get him the ball out of

360
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: the backfield, he can really hurt you in that department too.

361
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: He is as poised. Devan A. Chain is as poised

362
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: for a breakout season at the tailbag position as anybody

363
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: at that position in college football. He is a guy

364
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: I don't really have much doubt about. I am able

365
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: to freely speak confidently about him because if he avoids injury,

366
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: everything about how they're set up this year, everything about

367
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: how their depth chart is set up this year, lends

368
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: him to really flashing on the national radar. And think

369
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: about it. He's in the SEC West, So you're gonna

370
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: get Zach Evans at Ole Miss. You're going to well,

371
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: let's see what LSU does. But you're you're going to

372
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: get Jamior Gibbs, for example, at Alabama. Let's see. We

373
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: know we got about half a dozen running backs up

374
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: at Arkansas. Let's see how a Chain kind of kind

375
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: of fits on that national radar. He'll be a standout

376
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: at A and M. I want to see how he

377
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: fits on the national radar. Let's go to Nebraska for

378
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: a second. Here's a really important name, really important, Casey Thompson,

379
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: former quarter back at Texas. He's now the starting quarterback.

380
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: Presumably we're going to presume that he is the starting

381
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: quarterback at Nebraska. I'm going to read you some numbers here.

382
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: In fact, you're looking at him on your screen right now.

383
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, Casey Thompson at Texas he played

384
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: twelve games. You know, he was kind of in and out.

385
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: They had some some rotation at the quarterback position. But

386
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: he was a sixty three point two percent completion percentage guy.

387
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: He threw twenty four touchdowns, nine interceptions. All right, So

388
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: here's the question. If I just take that number, if

389
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: I take that kind of statistical output and I drop

390
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: it at Nebraska, what happens. I know, one year does

391
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: not automatically carry over to the other, So we can't

392
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: just magically say if he does that this year, they

393
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: win all those close games they lost. I know that

394
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: real football doesn't play out like that, but let's just

395
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: humor each other for a second. If we get that

396
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: kind of production what they had last year at Nebraska

397
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: and Adrian Martinez was a fourteen to ten touchdown to

398
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: interception ratio, which is really what killed him because I

399
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: mean he had to through twenty eight hundred yards last year.

400
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: So martinaz had more passing yards than Casey Thompson did.

401
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: He was not as good in terms of completion percentage,

402
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: but just turning the ball over that's what hurt them

403
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: a lot last year. I think if they get Casey

404
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: Thompson at his reasonable best, I think that, well, they're

405
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: winning more than three games. This is the first thing.

406
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: I think. The second thing is what does that do.

407
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: We're talking important names outside of just their own little

408
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: personal space there. If Casey Thompson performs admirably this year,

409
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: well he resurrects the Bowl hopes of the Nebraska program.

410
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: He probably saves Scott Frost's job. It greatly shakes up

411
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: the Big ten Western Division race. And of course you

412
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: look at the opposite sides of those respective coins. If

413
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't pan out this year, then you're probably looking

414
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: at a different head coach at Nebraska come twenty twenty three.

415
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, no pressure or anything, but that's a really

416
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: important name at Nebraska at quarterback in Knoxville. This is

417
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: why I didn't touch on him a whole lot of

418
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: second ago. Hendon Hooker really important name. Remember what I

419
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: just said, defensively, you got what you got with Tennessee.

420
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: So you've got to come into every Saturday expecting that

421
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: you probably need to be in that mid thirties range

422
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: to at least feel like you're giving yourself a really

423
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: good shot to win. It's one of the most high

424
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: leverage quarterback positions in America because of the tempo they

425
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: work at. I know this kind of serves as its

426
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: own individual segment on our YouTube channel. So I'm gonna

427
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: repeat what I just said on the Live show. Two

428
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: point nine to nine plays per minute. They're gonna run

429
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: a ton of plays. He's gonna touch the ball a

430
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: whole lot. So they're just more decisions than Hennon Hooker

431
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: has to make on an average Saturday. And then you

432
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: extrapolate that number out over hopefully for him twelve games.

433
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: You see how his name, even in that column of

434
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks is just a little bit more important. Also, there's

435
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: more weight on his shoulders. Offense has to carry more

436
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: of the load at Tennessee than it does elsewhere. He'll

437
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: be asked to do way more. They think he's fully

438
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: capable of it. Thirty one to three touchdown to interception

439
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: ratio guy last year. Also, and here's where he impacts

440
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the sport. They play pitt in week two,

441
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: So he could go up there and he could not

442
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: only shake Pit in terms of and I know this

443
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: is a stretch in terms of any playoff resume the

444
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: Panthers may have, but it also serves to give us

445
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: a good taste of what Pit is this year. You know,

446
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: it serves to give us a nice preview of how

447
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: they may fare in ACC play by watching what they

448
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: can or can't do against Hendon, Hooker and Tennessee. But also,

449
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: this is a team in Tennessee every year. You know,

450
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: they play Bama. You know, they played Georgia, one of

451
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: only a precious few teams who play both of them.

452
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: But also Tennessee goes to LSU this year, so there's

453
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: a really good chance to do some things in the

454
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: ACC or to an ACC team. You got a couple

455
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: of shots at SEC Western Division teams high profile in nature.

456
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: You got the Georgia game. It's you also got Heisman conversation.

457
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: If you start to get deeper in the season and

458
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: those numbers start to rack up in a pinball manner,

459
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: then I want to go to Waco, Texas. Now, the

460
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: last time I was in Waco, I was broken down

461
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: on the side of the road. Not the fondest of memories.

462
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: But you know what else we got to do. We

463
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: got to see a field storming, and we got to

464
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: see Baylor take down Oklahoma, and we got to really

465
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: learn a little bit more about Dave Randa. Dave Randa

466
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: one of the most important names in college football this year.

467
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: We may be seeing a new model form. You realize

468
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: that you never know it as it's happening, do you.

469
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: You only look back years later and say, oh, that

470
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: was the A model, or the B model, or the

471
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: C model. Frank Biemer at Virginia Tech, that was the

472
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech model. Well, we may be seeing one form here.

473
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: Everyone knows the Tier one model. Everyone knows the Bama model.

474
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: Just go get the best players in the country, hire

475
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: the best coaches in the country, fill your staff up

476
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: with an army of analysts, and just get the best

477
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: of everything. Yeah, it's one way to go about it.

478
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: It's pretty full proof. Not everyone can do that. So

479
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: Dave Randa realizes that and at Baylor think they're developing

480
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: their own model. And one of the biggest compliments that

481
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: you can get as a coach is the product you're

482
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: putting on the field, the results that your program is yielding.

483
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: Constantly outpace the sum of the parts. That's what we

484
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: could reasonably say about Baylor last year. I expect we're

485
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: going to be able to say it about them again

486
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: this year. And then all of a sudden, you don't

487
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: get to look at last year as being some fluke anymore,

488
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: which I think some people are still prone to do.

489
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: Anybody can just pull off a shaker for one year.

490
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: You know, if Oklahoma would have had six more inches,

491
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be talking about you as a conference champ.

492
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: You know how all that goes? Well, If they turn

493
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: that trick again this year, all of a sudden, you

494
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: don't get to use that F word, that fluke word anymore,

495
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: nor any other f words around here. Let's make it

496
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: a family friendly program. It's not Brandon Walker. We're not savages.

497
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: And also, you get the rest of the country if

498
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: that happens, if Baylor's successful again this year, you get

499
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the country that's not named Ohio State

500
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: or Georgia or Clemson, that doesn't have a Tier one

501
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: or even a Tier two budgetary advantage or resource advantage.

502
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: And they say, okay, well, we got to find ourselves

503
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: a different way to do it too. Let's start to

504
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: look at what this random guy has been doing at Baylor. Now,

505
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm not ignorant. I know most people have already long

506
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: since taken note of what he's been doing. But some

507
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: people who are more result oriented still need that year

508
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: over year proof of performance. If they get it this year,

509
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, not to mention what that could do with

510
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve race. If Baylor is to standing there

511
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: as a Big Twelve champ again and it's not Oklahoma again,

512
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: and Texas is not there again, you talk about some

513
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: patients wearing very thin. They may be prepared to deal

514
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: with a lot of things in the Big Twelve. What

515
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: they're not prepared to deal with is Baylor owning the conference.

516
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: That's not what they're prepared to do with. They watched

517
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: that happen. They watched a Baylor program rise to prominence

518
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: once upon a time, and then when it got taken

519
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: apart for the reasons and in the manner in which

520
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: it got taken apart, which I don't think we need

521
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: to rehash, most of the folks up and down the

522
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: Big Twelve said that's the last we'll hear from them.

523
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: You were wrong, As it turns out, you were dead wrong.

524
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: And you got a guy out there running things the

525
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: right way, and I happen to be a big fan

526
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: of his. We're not reporters here, so we can say

527
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: whatever we want. I'm a big fan of David, so selfishly,

528
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for this to be true. Last name for

529
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: tonight in honor of producer Jesse Sean Clifford. Sean Clifford

530
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: has made the list. Sean Clifford, quarterback at Penn State.

531
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: Who even the most casual non college football fans know

532
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: who Shon Clifford is at this point, He's just He's

533
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: a veteran college football player. He is the definition of

534
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: the veteran college football player. You know. One of the

535
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: most anemic and sad pitiful stats from the twenty twenty

536
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: one college football season was the fact that Penn State

537
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: did not have a one hundred yard rusher in any game.

538
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: They were badly banged up early on at the running

539
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: back position, so that you know, yielded that result. But

540
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: also when we look at twenty twenty two, if we're

541
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: going to rectify that, it doesn't just start at tailback,

542
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, it starts at quarterback. Because they also lost

543
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: their quarterback last year in the Iowa game. I think

544
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: we all remember how that panned out. But if you

545
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: look at their offensive output, they were eightieth or one

546
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: in every key total offensive metric, every key running statistic.

547
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: I mean, they're eighty ninety one hundred and five. So

548
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough. Sean Clifford holds the keys to

549
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: all that, because the bottom line is, you can get

550
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: me excited about Nick Singleton, you can get me excited

551
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: about the prospects of this run game, but you can't

552
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: get me excited about it if you haven't replaced Johan Dotson,

553
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: if you don't have precision at the quarterback position, and

554
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: if I'm just able to stack the box against you

555
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: every Saturday, and right or wrong, I think a lot

556
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: of people feel like they can do that against Sean

557
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 1: Clifford and Penn State. So all you have to do

558
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: is prove them wrong. That's all you have to do.

559
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: If he's able to do that, you know, if they're

560
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: able to operate at a high enough and an efficient

561
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: enough level offensively, well then what does that do? Because

562
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, right now, if we're looking at their schedule,

563
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: you know they play Ohio State on the twenty ninth

564
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: of October. You know that you probably aren't paying a

565
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: lot of attention to it though, because you think to yourself,

566
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: even with the home field advantage, they just can't score enough.

567
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: You know, they can't keep up with Ohio State. Well,

568
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: all the sudden, you know, Sean Clifford's plant at the

569
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: highest level of his career, if that young talent, especially

570
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: at Tailbag, is panning out a little earlier than expected,

571
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: if that transfer receiver talent, and Parker Washington is elevating

572
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: his game already on campus as well. If all that's

573
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: kind of happening simultaneously, Well, all of a sudden, there's

574
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: a long way between September one and October twenty nine.

575
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: And also they got a trip to Michigan a couple

576
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: of weeks before that. All of a sudden, that big

577
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: ten race looks a whole lot different, doesn't it. So

578
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot, I mean, there's a lot to be

579
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: decided based on how Shan Clifford plays this year. They're

580
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: watching us in Plant City, Florida, Auckland, New Zealand, and

581
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: Shell Beach, California. I need a big favor, probably the

582
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: biggest favorite we ask for around here. You know what

583
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: I really need I know this bothers others you hold on.

584
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't like our mics around here right now. I'm

585
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: not a fan of them. I need you to just

586
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: like the video click that thumbs thumbs up button you're

587
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: watching live, which about fourteen hundred of you are right now,

588
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: just the thumb up video. Jesse told me when I

589
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: asked you to do that the other night, Like five

590
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: hundred of you hit that light button simultaneously, which I appreciate.

591
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: It just means we need to form better habits around

592
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: here because I'll forget to ask you. So let's just

593
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: let's do it without me even asking, and subscribe to

594
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: the channel while you're at it. Okay, this is what

595
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: I've gotten asked about more than anything else over the

596
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: past twenty four hours. So let's dive into this for

597
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. It concerns everybody, I promise you.

598
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: If you're even a passive college football fan, this concerns you.

599
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: The Big ten media rights situation. What's the very latest. Well,

600
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: it looks like we are on the precipice of an

601
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: official announcement coming down, and it seems eminent everyone in

602
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: our industry thinks it's eminent full disclosure. Obviously, I am

603
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: employed by CBS. Our company is knee deep or neck

604
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: deep according to reports in this whole thing. So we're

605
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: not here to share any industry information. We're not here to,

606
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, divulge any company secrets. What I do want

607
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: to do is talk on a very surface base level

608
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: and then dive in in the future about what this

609
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: means for all of you, not just Big ten fans,

610
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: but what this means for all of you, because I

611
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: want to forget the numbers for a second. We'll have

612
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: time to chop up numbers, who paid what for how

613
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: many games and what time a day are they going

614
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: to air. You can read about all that, and you

615
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: probably already have. But I want to ask you something.

616
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: You notice how a lot of people in college football disagree,

617
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: and even you and I disagree sometimes. I've noticed that

618
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: there's one thing ninety plus percent of you agree on

619
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: with me, and that is that you don't want any

620
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: one network having a disproportionate choke hold on the sport.

621
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: No one thinks that's good for college football. There is

622
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: no network out there that is run by so many angels.

623
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: As to you saying yeah, give them the entire package. No,

624
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: everyone's got their faults, everyone's got their flaws, us included.

625
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: No one wants one network to own all of this inventory.

626
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: And if you feel that way, then we agree. And

627
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: if you feel that way with me, I got some

628
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: really good news for you. So let's dive in. Let's

629
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: let me remind you. If you haven't been glued to this,

630
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: because I know it's kind of a thing that we

631
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: nerd out on, you may not care about it as much.

632
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: John Oran, a sports business journal reported last night and

633
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: then again this morning, ESPN is out of the bidding.

634
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: They're out of the running for the Big ten media

635
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: rights deal. Now let me also remind you of this.

636
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: Here's how this is going to work. Fox will keep

637
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: that noon game, that Fox will have the number one

638
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Big Ten game every week. That's not what we're talking about.

639
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: It's not the entirety of the Big Ten package that's

640
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: gone to market. It is parts of the Big Ten package.

641
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: And so what you have is you have bidding taking

642
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: place for who's going to get the number two Big

643
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: Ten game and maybe number three Big Ten game when

644
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: a given Saturday, and we've got basketball included here too.

645
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: We're talking about football, and so, according to John Oran

646
00:31:54,920 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: of Sports Business Journal, ESPN out their bid not good enough.

647
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the numbers down the road. CBS is

648
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: in prime position, as is NBC. That accorded is John Oran.

649
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: That's not anything that we shared on a company meeting

650
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: earlier today. Here's the follow up quote. Okay, so think

651
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: about so far what I just told you. The Big

652
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: ten they already got Fox. You're looking at potentially CBS

653
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: and NBC. That's all the big ones. That's the three

654
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: that your dad and mom used to watch when they

655
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: were kids. So you got them all in the room,

656
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: and then and you know what it's time to do.

657
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: Time to pop the paper. I want to also add

658
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: this little cherry on top, and then I'm gonna hit

659
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: the rewind button. About three weeks for you. This also

660
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: from John Oran yesterday, ESPN presumably out of the bidding

661
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: for the Big ten media rights, and then quote ESPN

662
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: is expected to aggressively therefore go after the Big twelve

663
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: and Pack twelve media rights director Colin I think you

664
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: have a piece of video from three weeks ago. I

665
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: want to remind you guys, you are not wasting your

666
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: time when you're watching this show, and here is once

667
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: again proof. Well, here's where it concerns the Big twelve.

668
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: In the PAC twelve, there're gonna be some other big

669
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: players at the table who are told you lose, and

670
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: you know what they're gonna do. They're going to look

671
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: in front of them. They've just got this huge mountain

672
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: of cash that they've allocated to spend on Big ten

673
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: football and basketball, mainly football, and they were told, your

674
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: money is no good here, but your money's still here,

675
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: and so what are they going to do with it? Well,

676
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: they can do one of two things. Either they can

677
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: just say, well, there goes the SEC, there goes the

678
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: Big Ten. They're locked up forever. The ACC is not

679
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: coming on the line anytime soon. I guess we're just

680
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: not going to have college football on our airwaves. Spoiler alert.

681
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: That's not the route they're gonna go. Or they could

682
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: go Route B and they could say, all right, what

683
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: else we got? There's the PAC twelve. Now, the PAC

684
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: twelve is not going to be nearly as attractive a

685
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: product as the SEC, will not be nearly as attractive

686
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: a product as the Big Ten, but they will be

687
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: a product and someone, in fact, multiple someone's out there

688
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: are going to have a ton of money and a

689
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: ton of shelf space that they need to fill. You're

690
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: not in as bad a position if you're the Pac

691
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: twelve or the Big twelve. I think it's kind of

692
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: a one of the other scenario right now. They're not

693
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 1: in nearly as dire a position as it seems. John

694
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: asked in the live chat, why did I just turn gray?

695
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: I think it's a good touch. I think when we

696
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: play sots, which is a SoundBite, I think we do

697
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: need to do that kind of coloration to it to

698
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: basically show you that's from the past. This more bright,

699
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 1: vibrant color. This is present, this is live right now,

700
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: but that was from the past. Well, did you notice

701
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: we kind of nailed that. It's almost like we knew

702
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: something because we've been talking to someone sources as they

703
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: call them. Not only did we have the right feel

704
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: on that, but now I want to tell you where

705
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: it gets even better. A lot of good news in

706
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,479
Speaker 1: the segment for all of you. What I said there is, Hey,

707
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: a lot of folks are gonna bid on the Big ten.

708
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: Someone's not gonna land it. That money is still going

709
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: to be in their lab and then it's like you

710
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and you go to the

711
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: car a lot and you planned on spending on a car,

712
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: and they're all out, and you're just sitting there with

713
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: all that money. What are we gonna do with it?

714
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: A responsible person would just go invest it, put it

715
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: back in the bank. We're not responsible people, so we've

716
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: got to spend it somewhere. Oh and by the way,

717
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: your wife has demanded that you come home with groceries,

718
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: that you come home with a car. And it's the

719
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: same way here. Whoever it is, if it's ESPN, if

720
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: it's whoever it is, they got to have stuff to

721
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: put on that shelf, namely live college football, and there

722
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: is not an endalyst supply. Scarcity has entered the chat,

723
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: and scarcity is suggesting that you better go grab the

724
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: Big twelve, You better go grab the Pac twelve. You

725
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: better get whatever you can. And here's the added bonus.

726
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: If you'll notice in John Oran's reporting, not only is

727
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: ESPN with ing on the Big ten and therefore back

728
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: on the market. I haven't heard a single mention of Apple.

729
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: I haven't heard a single mention of Amazon. If those

730
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: three or really just even two of the three. But

731
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: if all three are still in the room and they

732
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: haven't dropped a dime on live media college football rights yet,

733
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: then it's a heyday for the Pac twelve and the

734
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: Big twelve. They are not going to get Big ten money,

735
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: they're not going to get SEC money. They're not going

736
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: to be poverty conferences, though, they're going to get probably

737
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: well above and beyond what traditional market rate would be

738
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: because the market's changing, and that's good for all of us.

739
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: It's good if you're an an Auburn fan, it's good

740
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: if you're a Michigan State fan, because unless you want

741
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: to see the rest of the sport fall off the

742
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: proverbial cliff, then you have to be able to have

743
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: those conferences subsidized. And in a perfect world, you don't

744
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: have to subsidize them. The good old fashioned market does

745
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: it for you. And I think that's about to happen.

746
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see ESPN move aggressively for

747
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: one or both of those properties. And there's also an

748
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: understanding in our business right now because no one has

749
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: taken the full dive in with any streaming service. That

750
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: means no conference has said we're signing with Apple no

751
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: conference has said we're signing with Amazon. Why because they're

752
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: terrified that audiences aren't going to follow them there. They're

753
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: terrified that you and I are married to the concept

754
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: of holding that remote control and watching traditional programming on Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC,

755
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: and we're not gonna We're not going to pull up

756
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 1: our smart TV and go to Amazon to watch Washington

757
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: State versus Arizona. Look, maybe we will, maybe we won't.

758
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: But what if one of those streaming giants comes to

759
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: you and says we're willing to pay two hundred and

760
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: thirty percent in market value for your media rights package.

761
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. It's just not an if, but a win.

762
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's very close to happening. I think

763
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: especially attractive would be the connection between the PAC twelve

764
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: and Apple for obvious reasons, so that that's all on

765
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: the table. So I think they're gonna get a lot

766
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: of money. And they've been written off for dead and

767
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right now. But here's my

768
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 1: message to Big ten fans. You one, if this goes

769
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: down like this, you're the huge winner in this room.

770
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: I like the Big Ten's position above and beyond the

771
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: SEC's position. But here's the other thing to think about,

772
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: because I guarantee you you've either thought this or you've

773
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: heard someone say this over the past twenty four hours.

774
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: The huge industry takeaway is if this ends up panning out,

775
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: it'll be the first time in like four decades that

776
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: Big Ten football and basketball it's not airing on ESPN.

777
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: That's a huge deal. I don't want to overlook that.

778
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: That's a huge deal. Here's the follow up. My message

779
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: to Big Ten fans on this is relax when it

780
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: comes to worrying about ESPN. There's a lot of concern

781
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: out there right now. I've heard it a dozen times

782
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: a day already. Oh man, the SEC they've got exclusivity

783
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: with ESPN. ESPN owns the College Football Playoff. Could we

784
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: be about to get screwed out of spots because we

785
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: don't get proportionate coverage, proportionate proportion coverage to the SEC.

786
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: Could ESPN be about to box us out? Well, no,

787
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: they're not going to, but if they do, it's going

788
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: to largely be irrelevant. And I'm going to tell you why.

789
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: That contract between ESPN and the College Football Playoff expires

790
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. And here's what else you need

791
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: to realize the structure. The landscape of our sport is

792
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: shifting radically. In case you haven't noticed, there is no world.

793
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: I would bet you a ton of money on this.

794
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: There is no world I see where you get an

795
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: expanded playoff and you get the Big Ten and the

796
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: PAC twelve and whoever else you need to sign off

797
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: on that media rights deal. To sign off on a

798
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: playoff media rights contract that gives one network the entire playoff,

799
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: there's no way that's going to happen. No way, even

800
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: if it stays at four teams, that's not the way

801
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: they're going to let it happen. But imagine this thing

802
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: move into eight or twelve or sixteen team almost dry

803
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: heave even saying it, But imagine the playoff moving to

804
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: twelve teen means so you've got added inventory, You've got

805
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: more games. You're insane if you think that the Big

806
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: Ten or the PAC twelve are about to sign off

807
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: on saying yeah, yeah, we'll let ESPN buy that entire thing.

808
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: There's no way. Some of these conference commissioners have expressed

809
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: that already. George Klakoff in the PAC twelve, I don't

810
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: think took more than two or three breaths on his

811
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: first down the job before he said, I want to

812
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: take the playoff contract to market. Don't let ESPN buy

813
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: the rights to that thing again before we take it

814
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: to market and see what the networks are going to

815
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: be willing to bid on it. Here's what your playoff's

816
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna end up looking like after twenty twenty five. Whatever

817
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: they agree on, I will pound my fist on this

818
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: table and anger, and then that'll subside and it'll be

819
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: what it is. But your future college football playoff is

820
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: going to look strikingly similar to the NFL playoffs now

821
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: within the context of an expanded playoff. This is good news.

822
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: If you don't like it like I do, put that

823
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: to the side. If we have to go down that road,

824
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: this is the only way to do it. Absolutely do

825
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: it like the NFL's done it. I'm not for the

826
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: professionalization of college football, but there are some aspects that

827
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: the NFL pulls off in terms of their structure that

828
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: I do think would be very advantageous for college football

829
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: to mirror, and one of them is the way, from

830
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 1: a television standpoint, they structure their postseason. You don't tune

831
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: into one network to watch the NFL playoffs. You catch

832
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: the early game, the AFC game over there on CBS,

833
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: and then you got the NFC four to thirty game

834
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: over here on Fox, and then you may have a

835
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: primetime game on NBC in the Super Bowl. What does

836
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: it do? It rotates networks every year. I think that's

837
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: exactly what your college football playoff's gonna look like. One day.

838
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: You'll have semi final games on one network, and you

839
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: may have conference tie ends, or you may have specific

840
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: bowl location tie ends, and that's its own spider web,

841
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: and then you may very well see the National Championship

842
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: game hop network to network. I don't see sign off coming.

843
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: If they all don't agree to do that, there's no

844
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: way that's going to happen. That'll be your next big stalemate.

845
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna sit in at room, and of course I

846
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: would imagine Greg Sinki and the SEC are going to

847
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: want to lobby as hard as they can for ESPN

848
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: to land that thing. Well, there's no interest in anyone

849
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: else outside of the SEC, maybe the ACC, but outside

850
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: of those two for letting that happen. There's there's no

851
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: advantage to that. And so you know, for obvious reasons,

852
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: I think it's going to go to market anyway. I'm

853
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: saying all that to say, you got to take your

854
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: wins when you can get them. This is a win

855
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: for us. The more that you can pull the majority

856
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: of the sport away from a certain network in the Northeast,

857
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: and the more that you can divide that thing up

858
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: amongst all of the bigger media entities in the country,

859
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: the better the sport is for it. You know, I

860
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: listen to you guys constantly. I've got my own gripes

861
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: about ESPN and certain aspects of their coverage of our sport.

862
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: No one's perfect, but there are certain aspects of the

863
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: coverage of the sport that I think have grown either

864
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: very stale or very tired. Well, the only answer to

865
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: that is take some of it away from them. And

866
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: in the big ten, you just got your wish. You

867
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: took a lot of you took all of it away

868
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: from them. We'll see how this ultimately pans out. This

869
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: is probably news that will be finalized either this week

870
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: or next week. But I do think my professional opinion

871
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: is it's good news for all of us. There you go,

872
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: we gotta win Okay, big night for us tonight on

873
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: Lake kick Here, really big night because it is the

874
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: end of an era, the end of a multi month era.

875
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: Now of Bold Predictions, Chapter thirty and Chapter thirty one

876
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: of Bold Predictions tonight. Why are we not stopping at thirty?

877
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 1: Why are we going to thirty one? You may ask, Well,

878
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: for the most legitimate reasons. The Undertaker's undefeated streak at

879
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: WrestleMania ended at thirty and we want to top the Undertaker,

880
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: so we're going double feature tonight. Bold Prediction Time, Chapter thirty.

881
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: First stop in South Bend, Indiana. Marcus Freeman and the

882
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Fighting Irish. What's the record going to be

883
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: this year? Their preseason over underwin total is nine. Well,

884
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: Joseph says, Marcus Freeman's going to go through his first year,

885
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: gonna have some growing pains, and an eight and four

886
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: record is on tap. But be not, he dismayed, a

887
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: top five recruiting class at the end of everything, It's

888
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: not out of the realm of possibility. This is a

889
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: six for me. This is not the wildest prediction. I

890
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: like the over under at nine. I like where Vegas

891
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: has set this number. But there are five noticeable games

892
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: on the schedule at Ohio State, at North Carolina. They

893
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 1: got Brigham Young out in Las Vegas. They got Clemson

894
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: at home at USC Boston College could sneak up on him.

895
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: It's not out of the roma possibility. They dropped some

896
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: games this year. We don't know what Tyler Butner is

897
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: going to be at quarterback. But at the same time,

898
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: you know those are all winnable games too. The one

899
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,479
Speaker 1: at Ohio State is the toughest, obviously, But eight and four,

900
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: nine and three, I could see that. I would lean

901
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: over if you put the number at eight nine I

902
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: think is the right number there. But the second part

903
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: of that is Notre Dame is gonna land a top

904
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: five class to make up for it all that that's

905
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: gonna happen, you know, To give you any idea of

906
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: how sure I am of that. Right now, Notre Dame's

907
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: recruiting class not a signing class yet. Right now, Notre

908
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: dames recruiting class is sitting number one in the country

909
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: in the twenty four seven Sports Team Rankings. Two ninety

910
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: two point zero three. That's the class ranking. If you

911
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: stopped today, if you just made Marcus Freeman sign that

912
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: class today. That would be the fifth ranked class in

913
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: last year's cycle. The fifth ranked class at the end

914
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: of it all was Texas last year and their signing

915
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 1: class was two eighty nine point oh four. So Notre

916
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 1: Dames class right now with months to go, is already

917
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: higher rated than the Texas class, which finished number five

918
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: last year. Could you have de commitments? Yeah, you know what,

919
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: it could also happen. They could get some more commitments.

920
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: I think they're at like twenty or twenty one right now,

921
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: so I put it at a six. It's not bold

922
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: at all to say they're going to finish top five

923
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: in recruiting. That's like a one or a two. But

924
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: to say they go eight and four, I would have

925
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 1: preferred nine to three. So I put that at a sixth.

926
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: How about the next one? Texas A and M and

927
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: Alabama will both make the playoffs. Ironically, from Austin, I

928
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: have never seen, nor have you, two teams from the

929
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: same division make the playoff. Seems like it's happened, but

930
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: it hasn't. From the same conference. Yes, from the same division. No,

931
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 1: it does not matter who beats who here. I really

932
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: believe that they play on October eighth. It's gonna be

933
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: a ton of There's gonna be a ton of attention

934
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: on that game when Jimbo Fisher faces Nick Saban. I

935
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: don't know how many times will hear people say that,

936
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: even though they will never appear pad it up on

937
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: the field. At the same time, but I don't think

938
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: it matters who wins that game with this scenario, because

939
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: you would think typically if Bama loses at home, they

940
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: got far more ground to make up than if Texas

941
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 1: A and M drops a close one on the road.

942
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: Technically that's true, but look at Alabama's schedule. They would

943
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,919
Speaker 1: have so much makeup ground, They would have so much

944
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: territory on this schedule to make up for a loss.

945
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who they lose to, because they got

946
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: at Texas, at Arkansas, at Tennessee, at LSU, at ole Miss.

947
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: They've got so many more games where it wouldn't matter

948
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: if they lost by ten points to A and M

949
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: at home. If they don't lose again, that probably need

950
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: to go win the SEC championship. But even if they didn't,

951
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: even if A and M ran the table and went

952
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: to Atlanta and won, you think a one loss Alabama

953
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: sitting there with their only loss to the SEC champs

954
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: not going to go. Of course they're going to go.

955
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: And of course if you invert that and amm's only

956
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: loss is to SEC champion Alabama, they would go. It's

957
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: just that it's tough to do because both of them

958
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: play really really heavy schedules. Right now, Bama their odds

959
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: to make or miss the college football playoffs an interesting

960
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: new prop bet there at Caesars. Bama is minus two

961
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: twenty five to make the playoff. A and M's plus

962
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: six fifty. So A and M won two, three, four, five, six, seven,

963
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: eight nine. I think they are ninth, and they're tied

964
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: with Texas, by the way, in terms of odds to

965
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: make the playoff. This is an eight point five for

966
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: me because any time you call two teams from the

967
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: same conference, much less the same division making it, it

968
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: is an eight minimum. But if it's going to happen,

969
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: this pairing may very well be the most likely for

970
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: it to happen. Next up, let's go to Michigan. Ben said,

971
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: Michigan at the end of this twenty twenty three recruiting

972
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: cycle will have a top ten class. I don't think

973
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I don't think that there is enough

974
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: for them to make up this ground. Right now, they're

975
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: twenty eight, and I don't really care what you're rated

976
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: right now or ranked, but I do look at what

977
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: stands between Michigan's current class at twenty seven sandwich between

978
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: Stanford and West Virginia, and what it would take for

979
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: them to rocket their way up the board all the

980
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: way into the top ten. And the fact of the

981
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: matter is, I just don't think that they're in it

982
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: for enough kids highly rated enough for them to propel

983
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: themselves into the top ten. Top twenty, yeah, top fifteen

984
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 1: I think would be a successful class. They may push

985
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: for that, but top ten, I mean, just to give

986
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: you an idea, I was looking through the top twenty

987
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: four to seven earlier today. They only have a crystal ball.

988
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: They are the they're the crystal ball favorite. Let me rephrase,

989
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: They're only a crystal ball favorite for one player in

990
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: the top two hundred right now. Now. You could play

991
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: Devil's Advocate all day long if you want to with me,

992
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: and you could say, oh, it's still early. Well, it's

993
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 1: not that early. It's not that early, especially in the

994
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: modern age of recruiting. It's not that early at all.

995
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: And secondly, yes, you could argue that with me, but

996
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: what you would need to be selling me on is

997
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: this Michigan staff is going to flip multiple recruitments during

998
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: the football season, and if they do, my hat's off

999
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: to them. It's not like we're pulling against them. I

1000
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: just don't think that it's reasonable to expect enough for

1001
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: them to vault into the top ten. So I'm going

1002
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: to call this a nine on the boldness scale. Next up,

1003
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: this is really getting personally close to home here. Josh

1004
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: Strauth said, the Every Given Saturday Tour will be in Lexington,

1005
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: Kentucky in week twelve. That is our tour. We go

1006
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: to a game. We hand pick a game to go

1007
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: to every week. We want it to be the biggest one,

1008
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: the most intrigue. We want it to be close. We

1009
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: don't want to see blowouts. We want to see as

1010
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: many venues and teams in person as we can. First

1011
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: thing we got to do in week twelve, Hey, a

1012
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,479
Speaker 1: look at the slate. Who else is playing that week?

1013
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: So we've got Georgia at Kentucky. That's what he's talking about.

1014
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: He thinks we're going to be at the Georgia Kentucky

1015
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: game in week twelve. Who else plays that day? We've

1016
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: got Georgia Kentucky, obviously, we got Ole Miss at Arkansas,

1017
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee at South Carolina, Utah at Oregon, USC at Ucla,

1018
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State at Oklahoma, Miami at Clemson. Do you notice

1019
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: something about this list? Nothing stands out There is no

1020
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: game on there where you go, yep, that's it. A

1021
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: lot of weekends have that, this one doesn't. You're talking

1022
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: about the two favorites, the number one and number two

1023
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: in the SEC East in terms of preseason odds, and

1024
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: you know something else, Colin, if you have Georgia's schedule,

1025
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: could you throw that up for just a second. I

1026
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: want you to notice something. Georgia fans already know what

1027
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Look at how Georgia's schedule plays out here.

1028
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: They got a four game stretch that will define their

1029
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: regular season. They play Florida in Jacksonville on October twenty ninth. Okay,

1030
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: so Florida and Jacksonville Tennessee at home the next week,

1031
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: at Mississippi State the following week, at Kentucky the week

1032
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: after that. So this game presumably the biggest game in

1033
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 1: the SEC East this year. If oddsmakers are to be believed.

1034
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: Comes at the end of the toughest four game stretch

1035
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: of Georgia season. It is the second leg of a

1036
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: back to back road swing. It will be their third

1037
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: time on the road in a four week stretch. So

1038
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: I think this is a lot more possible, frankly than

1039
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: it sounded when I read the question. I'm only gonna

1040
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: put a six on this. I think this may actually

1041
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: be the game we get to. And if it is,

1042
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: it's our first trip to Lexington. We have not seen

1043
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: Kentucky in Kentucky, we have not done that, so that

1044
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: would be a big deal. So let's keep an eye

1045
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: on that. Still a long way away, Let's keep an

1046
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: eye on that. Let's go with the last one for

1047
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: chapter thirty. At least hey D said Ohio State gonna

1048
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: have a similar season of last year. They missed the

1049
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: playoff because of defensive issues. Again, Ryan days in the

1050
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: hot seat next year. Well, that's second part. No, so

1051
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 1: we're gonna just exclude the second part. Let's talk about

1052
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: the first part. Certainly, if Ohio State misses the playoff,

1053
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: that's what has happened. If they missed the playoff this year,

1054
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: it is because of defensive ineptitude. The goal up there,

1055
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: as stated by head coach Ryan Day, top ten defense,

1056
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: went and hire Jim Knowles top ten defense. I have

1057
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: told you sheepishly just top twenty. Top twenty is good enough.

1058
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,479
Speaker 1: I lean heavily towards the know here. I think they'll

1059
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: be in the playoff and therefore I put this at

1060
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: an eight. But the only reason that I didn't go

1061
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 1: higher is because I would be remiss if I didn't mention. Yeah,

1062
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: I've still got concern. It's not you don't hire miracle workers.

1063
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: I've said that a couple of times tonight. When you

1064
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: make these coaching changes, it's sometimes it is a night

1065
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: and day difference, but more times than not, what you

1066
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: see is you see some promise in year one, and

1067
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: then maybe if he's the real deal and Jim Noles is,

1068
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: then in year two, that's really when you see rubber

1069
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: meat road. How realistic is it to just expect this

1070
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: thing to completely be overturned in one year? I don't know. Now.

1071
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: The good news for Ohio State is it doesn't have

1072
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: to be totally overturned. That's why I keep trying to

1073
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 1: be realistic. I mean, what if they're ranked twenty third

1074
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: defensively this year. I look at their schedule first off,

1075
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,959
Speaker 1: and look at who they have on their offense second off,

1076
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: and they could very well run the table with the

1077
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: twenty third best defense in the country this year. So

1078
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: if they don't make the playoff, then it means, well,

1079
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 1: someone's beating them. Maybe a couple of teams have beaten them,

1080
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: and it's because of that defense. And at that point

1081
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: there would be questions about Ryan Day. There's two kinds

1082
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: of pressure. We talk about it on the show all

1083
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: the time. You got competitive pressure and then you got

1084
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 1: job security pressure. There would be no job security pressure

1085
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: on Ryan Day. There would have to be off the

1086
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: field scandal this year for there to be any kind

1087
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: of job security pressure on him. But competitive pressure. You know,

1088
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 1: if you saw CJ. Stroud play back to back years

1089
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: for you and you never made the playoff with him,

1090
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: If you saw all those racehorse wide receivers and you

1091
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 1: never made the playoff with them, Yeah, that's unacceptable. They'd

1092
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: all say that. He would say that, So it would

1093
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: be a tough conversation. It wouldn't be job security though.

1094
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna call that an eight because I think

1095
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: Ohio State will make the playoff. Now what we're gonna do.

1096
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna call our first and final time out just

1097
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: long enough for Colin to rerack the elements there and

1098
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: a reminder, ooh nasty. We're at six hundred and sixty

1099
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: six likes. That's just gross. So please like the video.

1100
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: If you haven't went down one, thank you, So like

1101
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: the video please, because that's not a good number to

1102
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: look over at. We got a thousand live the other night,

1103
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: and there's no reason why we can't have that now

1104
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: since there's way more than a thousand of you watching

1105
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: live right now. All right here we go, diving right

1106
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: back in bold predictions, the final chapter, thirty one chapters.

1107
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: And what a run it's been. What a streak, unlike

1108
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: anything even the Undertaker was able to put up. Let's

1109
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,280
Speaker 1: go to the PAC twelve. Someone's gonna make the playoff

1110
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: out there, according to Ion, and it's not Utah. A

1111
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: PAC twelve team makes the playoff not named Utah. There

1112
00:54:55,239 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 1: are three candidates, Max in this conversation, USC, UCLA, and Oregon.

1113
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: If it's not gonna be Utah, and this conference is

1114
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: gonna spit a playoff team at US, it's got to

1115
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: be either Southern cal or Oregon or UCLA. This one

1116
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: involves a couple of things. It obviously involves whoever makes

1117
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 1: it beating Utah. I would imagine all three of them

1118
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: play Utah in the regular season. You may even have

1119
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: to double dip them and beat them in the PAC

1120
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: twelve championship game. Or maybe they got you in the

1121
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: regular season and then you return the favor in the

1122
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: PAC twelve championship game. Either way, someone's got to beat them.

1123
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,919
Speaker 1: That's not unrealistic. I just look at who the most

1124
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: balanced team out there is, the most trustworthy team out there,

1125
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: is It certainly Utah. Therefore, I'm calling this a nine

1126
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: because also think about what we're talking about. It even

1127
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: if you include Utah, we're talking about the PAC twelve

1128
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: giving us a playoff team, and that hasn't happened in

1129
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: quite a few years. Believe Washington was the last one.

1130
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: So regardless of who it would be, it's lofty. If

1131
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,280
Speaker 1: you take Utah out of the mix, it's even more lofty.

1132
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put that one at a nine. Next up,

1133
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 1: we're going to the SEC East. This was a very

1134
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: popular prediction really throughout the entirety of us doing this.

1135
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: Jack maguire, who co hosts Unnecessary Roughness with Casey, excuse

1136
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: me with Katie. Casey's fine. We don't even acknowledge anyone

1137
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: else on that show. So Jack said, Tennessee's gonna win

1138
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: the SEC East. Okay, I ask him if you bet

1139
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: money on it, he said he has. I would love

1140
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: to get on board with this, I really would. I

1141
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: put it at an eight and a half. There are

1142
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 1: several reasons why. The first is this could be an

1143
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: any given Saturday team. We've got the every given Saturday

1144
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: tour coming up. This fault Tennessee could very well be

1145
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:46,479
Speaker 1: in any given Saturday team, meaning they possess the right

1146
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 1: ingredients to any given Saturday cattle prod you to the net.

1147
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: The problem may be defensively, they do not have the

1148
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: ability to be consistent enough to do what you have

1149
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: to do to win the East, which is bring it

1150
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: every week. And so outside of some clunkers showing up

1151
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: on their schedule, and you may be right, I just

1152
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 1: don't think they're clunker proof. Vegas put the over under

1153
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: win total at eight. Right now. They have an early

1154
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: season test at Pitt, which is not a conference game,

1155
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: but Pitt is going to be a really good test

1156
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: for them. And then they got Florida in Week four.

1157
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: That's really when conference play starts. Keep in mind, they've

1158
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: got Bama, Georgia doesn't. They've got Bama, Kentucky doesn't. They've

1159
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: got Bama, Florida doesn't. So they draw the unenviable task

1160
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: of playing Saving and Bama every year. That gets in

1161
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: their way. I also, I know what the path is. Okay,

1162
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: you could sell me on this whole Georgia stumbles coming

1163
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: off the national championship year. It's happened before you could

1164
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: sell me on Will Levis. I mean, Kentucky banking disproportionately

1165
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: on a high level quarterback. When is that going to

1166
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: work out for them? I know how it sounds. I'm

1167
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: just saying some stuff also has to happen on the

1168
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee side of things, and I'm not ready to push

1169
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: all those chips in yet. So I'm calling that an

1170
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: eight and a half. They also played Kentucky and Georgia

1171
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: back to back. If anyone's keeping track on schedule, let's

1172
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: go to the Big twelve. This one got a nine

1173
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: and a half because this is trying to predict a

1174
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: conference championship matchup, and that's just hard. West Virginia makes

1175
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: it to the Big Twelve championship game against Texas, all right,

1176
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: So predicting specific matchups never ends well. JT. Daniels starting

1177
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: quarterback for West Virginia. How many games you think he's played?

1178
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: He is. We're asking him to play twelve this year.

1179
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: He has played ten games over the past three seasons.

1180
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to doubt him. I'm just trying to

1181
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: let you know what the odds are here. There are

1182
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: what ten teams in the Big Twelve right now, West

1183
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: Virginia has the eighth best odds to win the conference.

1184
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about making the Big Twelve championship game.

1185
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: They play seven straight games to end their season. This

1186
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: is one of those little scheduling quirks that's especially relevant

1187
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: for West Virginia because they've got the longest road trips

1188
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: in the conference. Their shortest road trip in conference plays

1189
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: over one thousand miles. Welcome to the non regionality of

1190
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: college football. So starting on October thirteenth against Baylor, they

1191
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: go Baylor at Texas Tech, TCU at Iowa State, Oklahoma

1192
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: k State at Oklahoma State to end the year. There,

1193
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: that's tough. It's just tough. Notice I haven't even talked

1194
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: about Texas because I wanted to zero in on West Virginia. Now,

1195
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: I took the over on the win total for West Virginia,

1196
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: but I want to remind you that just basically means

1197
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,439
Speaker 1: they got to make a bowl game. They're over under

1198
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: win totals five and a half. So I'm a believer

1199
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: in West Virginia exceeding expectation. But they could do that

1200
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: and win six games. I don't think they're going to

1201
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: be in the Big twelve championship game. So I called

1202
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: this one a nine and a half. Next up, we

1203
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: have two ratings on this prediction. First and only time

1204
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: we've done that. Kelly Ford, friend of the program, said

1205
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: Lake Kick will pull off a doubleheader and attend two

1206
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: games in a single day. Famously, we had an opportunity

1207
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: to do this li last year and I let it

1208
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: slip through our fingertips. We were at the Red River Rivalry.

1209
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 1: I just cussed, we were at the Red River shootout

1210
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: and we saw that game. This is eye Josh footage.

1211
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: I shot this with this little contraption in my hand,

1212
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: and then we had an opportunity after that game wrapped up.

1213
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: We had hours to spare. We could have driven down

1214
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: to College station. I was credential for both games, and

1215
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: we could have gone to Bama. A and M Bama

1216
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: was favored by three touchdowns. I didn't see the need.

1217
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: I got on a plane, I watched A and M

1218
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: upset Alabama somewhere high over Arkansas. And I've regretted it

1219
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: ever since. And so we're looking at the schedule and

1220
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out which Saturday can we make

1221
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: it to two games in one day. I'll give you

1222
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: an example. Week seven, Penn State is at Michigan. Presumably

1223
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: that would be the big noon kickoff on Fox. So

1224
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: if we get that one and then one of those

1225
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: networks is so kind as to put Wisconsin in Michigan

1226
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: State in the nightcap, we could do that one. There's

1227
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: sixty three miles between ann Arbor and East Lansing. We

1228
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: could make that happen. But it's still a nine because

1229
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: everything has to pan out right. However, I told you

1230
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: there are two ratings on this. This rating goes from

1231
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: a nine to like a one. If someone with access

1232
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: to private aviation steps up and helps us out at

1233
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: wheels up at net jets at just some random viewer

1234
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: who happens to have private aviation at their disposal. You guys,

1235
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: you know you want to spare a seat on those planes.

1236
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: We'll be more than happy to take you up on it.

1237
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:39,919
Speaker 1: And then it wouldn't be bold at all. We could

1238
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: easily make it happen. I may be able to pull

1239
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: a string or two and get you into a game.

1240
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: If you're able to do that. Next up Baylor. Dare

1241
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: I say my Baylor Bears repeating as Big Twelve champs.

1242
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: That's what Jackson says. He said, Black Chapin takes Baylor

1243
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: back to the Big Twelve title game and the Bears

1244
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: win it again. Jesse is a Baylor hater. I want

1245
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: to stress produce Jesse, not me. Jesse said this is

1246
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: too bold. I did, and I said it's a six.

1247
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: I may pick Baylor to win the Big Twelve, but

1248
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Jesse does send me a stats and info packet every day,

1249
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: and he was very quick to point out that they

1250
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: are one hundred and twenty sixth in returning production this year,

1251
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: which is sixth worst in the country. I told Jesse,

1252
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: they've got a model, they've got a formula. Your stats

1253
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: are no good here, and he said, okay, well you

1254
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: asked me to do that, so I did it. Thank you, Jesse.

1255
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: Their over underwent total is eight. It's a wide open

1256
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: Big twelve. Now you can look at it one of

1257
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: two ways. You could look at it being a wide

1258
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: open Big twelve and say, ooh, anyone can beat anyone. Yeah.

1259
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: I could also look at it and say that and say,

1260
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: that's exactly why I like Baylor this year. So Baylor

1261
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: repeating as Big twelve champ. I'm not calling it that bold.

1262
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm calling it a six because it is that wide open.

1263
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's bold to suggest that any of

1264
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: those top four or five teams could win it. Now

1265
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: you get into the West Virginia territory. Yeah, it's a

1266
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: little bolder, though not impossible. So I'm calling that a

1267
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: And with that, the curtain dropped on Bold Predictions. Now

1268
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: does not over. I got one more thing to talk about.

1269
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: But here's what we're going to do at the end

1270
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 1: of the year. At the end of the year, presumably

1271
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: sometime in mid December, we have saved and archived every

1272
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: one of those. It has its own playlist. Bold Predictions

1273
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: has its own playlist on our YouTube channel. We will

1274
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: comb through those, but I know good and well some

1275
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: of you have nailed predictions, even though I put like

1276
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: a nine on them, and we will have a lot

1277
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: of fun with that in December. Okay, last question. We

1278
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: had a question about preview magazines. So let's get to

1279
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: the question here. Ashton, very simple, very straight to the point.

1280
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Ashton asked, what is the best preview magazine out there?

1281
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: If you grew up as a college football fan, I

1282
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: assume most of you did, there is no better feeling,

1283
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: including Christmas morning, than walking down the aisle at your

1284
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: favorite grocery store Barnes and Noble, or some of you

1285
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: like to call it Barnes and Nobles, like you go

1286
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: to more than one of them, and seeing that preview

1287
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: magazines arrived on the shelves, and you, of course, unless

1288
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: you're a sadist, you pick up the magazine, you smell

1289
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: the magazine, and then you crack open the magazine in

1290
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: that order. I can't stress that enough. And you check

1291
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: out what's gonna happen with your team this year, what's

1292
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: Antlon saying, what's Lindy saying, what's Uncle Phil saying? And

1293
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: so I buy all of those I have for a

1294
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: long time. So here's what I'm not gonna do tonight.

1295
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm not here to knock any magazine. I'm not here

1296
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: to say, don't go buy this one, don't go buy

1297
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: that one. By all means it's a great little cottage industry.

1298
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Go buy all the magazines. But I am gonna stump

1299
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: for one above the rest. And I don't think you

1300
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: guys are as familiar with it because it's a newer product.

1301
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: I've actually got it here. It arrived at the office today.

1302
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: So this is and I got to pull his name

1303
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: back up. I asked Brett, how you say your name?

1304
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: And Jesse and I were trying to guess. Okay, so

1305
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: this is Brett c and SA's magazine. It's Pick six Previews.

1306
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: This is a really good product, guys. And it's the

1307
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: first year that he's done an actual physical copy. So

1308
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: normally this is a digital copy, and you can, of

1309
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: course still get it in digital form, but he wanted

1310
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: one that when we dropped it on the table it

1311
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: sounded like that. Also, he knows I like to smell

1312
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: the pages. Pages smell pretty good. Let me tell you

1313
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: what you've got here. You've got essentially the preview magazine

1314
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: version of what we've done with our show. For a

1315
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: long time, you grew up and you had, you know,

1316
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: big network studio college football shows, right, and then a

1317
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: few years back, we saw Facebook Live emerge and we

1318
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: saw YouTube Live emerge, and shortly thereafter what happened, some

1319
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 1: products like our show started popping up, and over time

1320
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: the big networks took notice, and you know, we got

1321
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: to elevate to this level and we're very blessed to

1322
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: be able to do that. But there is an independent

1323
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: spirit behind what we do. There's an independent spirit behind

1324
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: what guys like Brett do. I'm a huge fan of

1325
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: it because also what you'll notice in the independent game,

1326
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: you don't have the bells and whistles, So you just

1327
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: got to grind and grind and grind. You got to

1328
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: do your own work. But what ends up happening is

1329
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: you get a product that is more thorough and more authentic,

1330
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: and more well sourced and vetted and thought out than

1331
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of those more traditional and established publications that

1332
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: you get on your shelves. I'm not knocking them. I'm

1333
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 1: telling you go buy all of them, but I'm also

1334
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: telling you i'd go to pick six Previews, and I'd

1335
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: pick up a copy of this Bad Boy today. They're

1336
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Pick six Previews. You can get the

1337
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: digital copy, you can get the physical copy. But I

1338
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: just I want to remind you, guys, what this time

1339
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: of year is all about. It's not time to marry

1340
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: these things. It's not time to marry any preview magazine.

1341
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: These are good pieces of source material, they're really entertaining.

1342
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: But what you want to do is you want to

1343
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 1: use it as a guide. If you're someone who loves

1344
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: to gamble, use it as a guide. If you want

1345
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: something sitting next to your chair on Saturdays in the

1346
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: fall to remind you of what depth charts look like,

1347
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: that's your guide. If you just want a general sense

1348
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: of where a teams stand, that's your guide. But what

1349
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: I value the most is do I pick up your

1350
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: preview magazine and read your thoughts? Do I see something

1351
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: that was not aggregated from other sites or other sources

1352
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: or other magazines. That's this magazine Pick six Previews. You

1353
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: know you're reading something authentic. You know that you're you're

1354
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: reading Brett's thoughts. It talks to a number of coaches.

1355
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: He's very very open about that puts the coaches names

1356
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: that he spoke to in the magazine. So I would

1357
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: encourage you guys support publications like Pick six previews. That's

1358
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: not the only one, but Pick six is one that

1359
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: just happened to arrive at the office today, So it

1360
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: just so happens to be when I'm holding up here.

1361
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: Didn't pay me a dime for that either. Some of

1362
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: you in the future may have to a reminder. We

1363
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: are back on Tuesdays. We're here and we're not going anywhere.

1364
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,919
