00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: Tech with the big upset my brother, but last night

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: that was familiar to me watching my Alma Mater get

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: their teeth kicked in. Where have you gone that rule?

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 4: You know what you're sitting there saying watching your alma

24
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: mater get their teeth kicked in a because I'm a

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: beacon of light in the dark, dark world, is saying,

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: think of the paycheck the Temple just got, you know,

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: look a look at it. Look at the right side there.

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: You know, Temple just got themselves a little bit cash

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 4: to get that butt kicked. At least at least they

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: can say they got the payday for I'm just I'm

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: so happy watching football. I found myself like, I was

32
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: sitting there with some buddies having some dinner, and I

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: saw Temple on in the background, and my heart broke

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 4: a little bit for you, and I was like, you

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 4: know what, you know what, as much as it stinks,

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: this is football, meaningful football. I was sitting there Thursday night, right,

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: I had some buddies come over. We were playing the

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: college video game early and then we're all of a sudden,

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 4: we're sitting out of the couch and I was like, guys,

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: there's meaningful, real college football on right now. We were

41
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: sitting there just absolutely captivated by North Dakota State and

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: Colorado right like, It's just I got the Jey Joy,

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 4: Joey Joy down in my heart.

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: Brother I'm completely with you, completely. This is it, man,

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: best time of the year. This Thursday is to kickoff

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: of the NFL. We have a Thursday game, a Friday game,

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: a big slate Sunday game, one Monday. Like, it's is it, man,

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: We're here. We finally made all that talk of hey,

49
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: you know, what are we going to do? And it's

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: finally here. Man, it's it's great. And we got a

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 2: big day today man, Notre Dame, Texas A and M

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: and at noon it's on their way with Georgia.

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: Wow, we'll get to see Georgia. It's a good game.

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: It's great. You know, we're just in We're just a

55
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 3: few hours away.

56
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: I found myself again last night crow text going off,

57
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 4: where are we watching games tomorrow? And just the thought

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 4: that we're planning the sports bars we're gonna hop to

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 4: to watch the games. Just something feels right. Fall is

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: in the air. You know, I'm beginning to Connecticut like

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: it's almost hoodie weather. Like there's this little crispness coming

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 4: in early in the morning, right, like you got all

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: of these things going on at once to just culminate

64
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: to my favorite time of the year. It just feels

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 4: so good.

66
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: Right, feel good? Yeah, you know what, you know, it's funny.

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: My buddy, I got a buddy of Mike Teoc and

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: T was like, he was like, dude, you're killing me,

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: killing me because aught because I was waxing poetically about

70
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: the about the night's growing longer and how it's getting

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: dark earlier that now all of a sudden sunset, they're

72
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: over the trees where the kids play football. It's now

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: like the sun sets like like seven to third. And

74
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: then I'm like, dude, and I start to feel that breeze.

75
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: It's a slightly Canadian breeze that cleans the air. And

76
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: he's like, dude, aham a summer guy.

77
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: I go, but dude, it's football. He goes. He got me.

78
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: There, the slightly Canadian breeze that fills the air. My god.

79
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm reminded that you were a writer in every

80
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 4: good way. Like that's just like as you said that,

81
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: I could just hear Morgan Freeman, you know, for an

82
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: astronomical amount of money reading that for us saying, you know,

83
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: the slightly, the slightly Canadian breeze fills the air I feel.

84
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: But and you're right, I think one thing that as

85
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: much as we are critical at times of college football

86
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: and the schedules and the schedules of different teams, They've

87
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 4: also given us a day that is filled with games

88
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: that are worth watching, Like there is no doubt that

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: the fact that you have two of the biggest brands

90
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 4: in college football in a statement game for two different

91
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 4: programs in Georgia and Clemson coming out of the gates

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: at noon, just it's a where are they now? Moment

93
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: for Georgia that I feel like we're almost we're almost

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: taking the greatness of Georgia for granted right now, Like

95
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: we're not talking about them nationally as much as I

96
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: think we usually do for a team that's expected to

97
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 4: be as great as they are, and they're taking on

98
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 4: a Clemson team that we're really looking and saying, is

99
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 4: Clemson even worth having national conversations at all about? And

100
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: it's that's huge.

101
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: I was funny, I was thinking about that today or

102
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: the other day because I'm going, man, Georgia, Georgia is

103
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: going to bury them, Like do that? Does Clemson belong

104
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: on the field with them? Like that's who need to

105
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: we need to figure that out, And I don't think

106
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: they do.

107
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 5: That.

108
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: It's watching this version of Clemson is going to be

109
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: eye opening because I love any coach that has conviction

110
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: for what they believe in football programs and how they

111
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: should be built, and certainly Dabo has that in the

112
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: way that Clemson is building everything. But it's not a

113
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: secret to anyone that may not follow college football as much.

114
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: Clemson has gone counterculture in the way that they're building

115
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 4: their program, so they're simply choosing not to participate to

116
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: the same levels things like name, image, likeness, the transfer portal.

117
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: Dabo is a traditionalist in the way he wants to

118
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 4: build a football program, and this really becomes the science experiment,

119
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 4: the test for everybody on how you build a program,

120
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: because Clemson is standing here saying we don't have to

121
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: do it that way, and maybe they're right because all

122
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: they have to do, and this is true for everybody,

123
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: all you have to do is win your conference and

124
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 4: you're guaranteed a playoff spot. But man, Clemson, a couple

125
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: of years ago, the expectation was every year they'd be

126
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: playing for national championship. They got it wrong with dj Uyungalula,

127
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: a lot of people did. They haven't really been able

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 4: to figure out the quarterback position at the highest level.

129
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 4: And I'm not sure now you can figure out the

130
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: quarterback position anymore if you're not backing up a Brakes

131
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 4: truck to give that quarterback cash. So this really becomes

132
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: interesting because it's not it's not just hey, George is

133
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 4: great and Clemson is trying to rebuild. That's a very

134
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: simple narrative. This is much more Georgia has become Alabama,

135
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: like in the fact that they can lose a dozen

136
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 4: players every year and they still simply restock the cupboard

137
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: and they're still simply going to be a national championship contender.

138
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 4: And Clemson has become a you know, upper middle class

139
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 4: program that may occasionally make a run for a deep playoff,

140
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: nationally competitive team like That's that's a much different mindset

141
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: for Clemson fans than they're used to have it.

142
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I mean, I think if you

143
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: go back and here you got you know, Lawrence and

144
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: Watson and Dabbo is is just you know, the darling

145
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: of the country, and you think, all right, I'm good.

146
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: Right, all of a sudden, I got a seat at

147
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: the table.

148
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: You know, there's Alabama, there's Ohio State, there's Georgia, there's

149
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: me right, Like you thought that you had the seat

150
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: and you look at him and I just don't think

151
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: they belong in that in that class. And you're spot

152
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: on about like, we don't talk about Carson Beck. By

153
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: the way, Carson Beck is sensational, we don't talk about him.

154
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: I think what's stunning is that we didn't give Carson

155
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 4: Beck any grace. The beginning of last season looked a

156
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 4: little clunky, and then all of a sudden became well,

157
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: Carson Beck must suck. And if you look back at

158
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 4: his numbers last year, and I just I know that

159
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 4: college football puts some superhuman numbers, but almost seventy three

160
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: percent completion percentage for thirty nine hundred yards, twenty four touchdown,

161
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: six picks, and you think about how efficient he became

162
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 4: as this season war on. That means something to me,

163
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: you know. And it's funny how in the too.

164
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: Point four percent completion percentage.

165
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's in the NFL. We watched Jordan Love struggle

166
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: the first half of the season, and we apologize for

167
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: it now and say, well, that was just him knocking

168
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 4: the rust off. We never gave that grace to Carson Beck.

169
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 4: He was like, no, you got to step in and

170
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: be the best we've ever seen. Otherwise you know you're

171
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 4: not going to be any good. Carson Beck is going

172
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 4: to be a really interesting story to me this year

173
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 4: because if he plays this per season the way he

174
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: played over the course in the last what six weeks

175
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: last year, you're talking about efficiency, talking about smart football.

176
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 4: I go back to that Tennessee game last year. He

177
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: was absolutely spectacular in that game. So yeah, I think

178
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 4: Carson Beck as a real This is a real opportunity

179
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: for him to remind the world that any conversation that

180
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 4: doesn't include him in the Heisman is probably pretty stupid.

181
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

182
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I don't know what more you

183
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 2: want the kid to do, and the kid you want

184
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: to about just smart and he did everything. I mean

185
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: you could say, well you wanted that. Well you know

186
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: they got an all star team. Yeah, I mean I

187
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: look at look at their I'm looking at their game,

188
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: his game log, and it's just one after another of

189
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: just incredible games.

190
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think there's a real key when I pulled

191
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: up the game long too. And if you look in

192
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: November back to back to back at Missouri, Ole miss

193
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: and Tennessee, right, you're talking about three substantial matchups and

194
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: then Georgia Tech, then Alabama and the SEC championship game,

195
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: And when you look back at some of those games, like,

196
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: that's a gauntlet for a kid that's supposedly a bad quarterback, right,

197
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: Like that's the way they're talking about him right now,

198
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: And it's funny. He didn't really have a game where

199
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: you sat there and thought, man, that's regredible. He didn't

200
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: throw any touchdown passes against Alabama and they lost that

201
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: football game. But because they lost the SEC Championship game

202
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 4: and that, you know, created so much difficulty for them

203
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: moving forward. I just think we have to sometimes remind

204
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: ourselves that the rest of the season, this was the

205
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: Georgia team that absolutely throttled people for the most part.

206
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 4: So I just I think we've gotten so blase with

207
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 4: great And this said is Russell Westbrooks, and I use

208
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 4: this example all the time. I've used it with you before.

209
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: But the first time that Russ got the double double,

210
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: we were infatuating or a triple double, and then we

211
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: didn't care anymore. The first couple of times that Georgia

212
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 4: was great and went out there and was able to

213
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: beat everybody, we were impressed. And now we just take

214
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: it for granted. And that's right. Now Georgia is living

215
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 4: when Alabama lived at the end of Nick Saban's tenure,

216
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 4: which was, you know, we just expected so much that

217
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: we don't even appreciate it. And I don't know that

218
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 4: that's the right thing to do, going into an unprecedented

219
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: year in college football with this playoff schedule.

220
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know it's he's speaking of which the

221
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: playoff Dude, every time I say it, like every time

222
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: it comes up, because you know, we were watching these

223
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: early games and then et all everybody's talking about it's

224
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: so perfect, It's so perfect. It's exactly what we wanted

225
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: all forever.

226
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: Dude.

227
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I'll never forget having a

228
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: conversation with my father about, well, how come the AP

229
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: picks the national champion?

230
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 3: Like they vote on it, like you never understood it.

231
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: It was one of those things.

232
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: And then as like sports talk radio grew, it became

233
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: like you know that, and like the universal d h

234
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: became like the talking points, right, how could you not

235
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: be a playoff?

236
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: How could you not be a playoff?

237
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: And the absurdity of it all that they would vote

238
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: on it, Well, how crazy is that.

239
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, And the funny thing is you mentioned we finally

240
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 4: got what we wanted, but I still we're going to

241
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: use this platform to educate people on the very important

242
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: portion of the college football playoff that is the top four,

243
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 4: the Power four. We got to get used to saying

244
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 4: that there's no longer a Power five, it's a Power four.

245
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 4: The Power four champions are each guaranteed a full playoff

246
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 4: spot with a home game and a automatic first round by.

247
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: So the one thing that is going to make people

248
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 4: lose their minds is if Georgia loses the SEC championship

249
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 4: game this year and you've got a four loss, you know,

250
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: you've got a four lost Clemson team that somehow wins

251
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 4: the ACC through the course of this year. That Clemson team,

252
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: even if they get throttled by fifty today, that Clemson

253
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 4: team will get a number four seed and a first

254
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 4: round by and a home playoff game, And that Georgia

255
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 4: team is then going to have to fight for a

256
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 4: wildcard spot. So there is still the opportunity for chaos,

257
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 4: which you know I love. I am an agent of chaos,

258
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: So I want absolute people losing their minds, dogs and

259
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: cats living together, mass mascessteria, like that's what I want

260
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 4: out of all of this. We're still going to get

261
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: some of it, but the fact that we're going to run,

262
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: we will of this season with something still to play for.

263
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and you're right until we get what it's

264
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 2: going to be, which is basically the power to basically

265
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: the big ten in the NCC and the AFC and

266
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: the NFC, which at some point will have to happen

267
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: because use the ACC just stay isn't good enough, It's

268
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: just not good enough conference, Like you look at it.

269
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah and let me. And this is one of those

270
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: moments where I can't say this loud enough. If the

271
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: ACC cannot get to the level they need to get to,

272
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 4: then frankly, I hope the ACC loses their members. I

273
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 4: hope the relevant programs from the ACC go somewhere where

274
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: suddenly we're not having to deal with the playoff team

275
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: that doesn't deserve. My whole hope from the playoff from

276
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: the outset. And I know this is year one of

277
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 4: the twelve and it's too early to complain, but whole,

278
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: my whole hope was that we would simply allow the

279
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 4: twelve best teams. I don't care where they came from.

280
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 4: I don't care what they did the twelve best teams

281
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: to make the playoffs. That's not what we did. And

282
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 4: because that's not what we did, I'm frankly rooting for

283
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: the ACC to be dismantled if they can't become competitive

284
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: with the SEC and the Big Ten and say I'd

285
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: say the same thing to the Big twelve, like I

286
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: don't think that. I don't want college football world where

287
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: two teams get into the playoff every year simply because

288
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 4: they have the Grace and Gloria being part of a

289
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: lesser conference, Like I want mega conferences because I want

290
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: the best teams every single year to make.

291
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: The Yeah, I don't know how you do it because

292
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: those conferences, you know, are so powerful and you know

293
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: have some money grab I don't know how you make

294
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: it into the AFC and the NFC.

295
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: But clearly it's what it needs to be. I mean,

296
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: you know, I mean.

297
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: That's that's it's already there. If you have two week

298
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: conferences and two of the monster conferences, well they just

299
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: have to absorb the rest of them and just and

300
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: just do it like that where you have divisions and

301
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: you have divisions and conferences and it's so much cleaner

302
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: and so much better. And then you can then you

303
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: can actually have some fun with it too, because the

304
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: bottom end of it, because there's so many programs, the

305
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: bottom end of it, you could do the relegation thing,

306
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: have a Tier two playoff right where like Temple would

307
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: be the Tier two they get relegated to that nit

308
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: kind of brand, and you have it's so much cleaner

309
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: and neaterter that way.

310
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, And what's really going to be interesting to me

311
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: is when we hit conference championship weekend, there are going

312
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 4: to be fans. Just like in the NCAA tournament, bid

313
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 4: thiefs were used to but there are you know, sixty

314
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: whatever four teams in that tournament. It doesn't matter in

315
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 4: this when you're talking about twelve. What nobody wants like,

316
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: go look at the schedule of a team like Iowa.

317
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: Go look at one of the guys I work with

318
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: at Yahoo Sports has made the bold prediction that Nebraska

319
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 4: is going to be in the College Football Playoff this year.

320
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 4: Go look at some of the schedules of these mid

321
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: level teams. You're going to have a team that because

322
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: their schedule is a little softer in the Big Ten

323
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: or the SEC they get themselves into that championship game

324
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: where it's one v two now it's not into divisions

325
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: and they finished with the second best record. If they

326
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 4: pull off a stunning upset, If Iowa gets themselves to

327
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 4: the Big Ten championship game and they somehow upset somebody again,

328
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: people are gonna be losing their minds because that team

329
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 4: suddenly finds themselves into the college football playoff. But they're

330
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: still gonna make room for whoever they beat. Right, So

331
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: the concept of bid thiefs when they're only twelve spots

332
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 4: available and four of them have to be taken, so

333
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: there's only eight wildcards seven because the highest group of

334
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 4: five goes in, so seven wildcards are available. Man. That

335
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 4: is people that don't even care about particular conferences. They're

336
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 4: going to be watching those games hoping to God that

337
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 4: the favorite wins big so that there's absolutely no drama

338
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 4: and their favorite team can still get in.

339
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 2: I love this injecting in my mains, I Oscars. I

340
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: agree with him. Dylan Rayola. I was talking to Maddie

341
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,560

342
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: season is they have all those home games. I mean,

343
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: it's very favorable, so they have a pretty easy schedule.

344
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 4: You never know, you never know.

345
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,600

00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: get to all the college gates.

379
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 3: We're go through it the whole thing today. But I

380
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: gotta ask you.

381
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: The NFL starts Thursday.

382
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 3: We have Chiefs and Ravens.

383
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: Friday, we have a game in Brazil, and in fact,

384
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: uh they're there, they made sure that they're not gonna

385
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: wear they're green because it's a bad color in Brazil.

386
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: Eagles are gonna wear this black and the green Bay's

387
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: gonna wear the white.

388
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: So the pack where's the white?

389
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: And so nobody's wearing green, So they're okay.

390
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: Nobody's wearing like they didn't think of that when they

391
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 4: scheduled two teams with green in their jersey. That means

392
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: they didn't know.

393
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: No idea, positive had no idea. They missed out.

394
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 4: Man, you know there is there a company that makes

395
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 4: more big mistakes on just dumb details that gets away

396
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: with it every time in the NFL. Like pretty simple

397
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 4: to But you could have put the Chiefs over there.

398
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 4: I don't think the Chiefs have any green in their jersey.

399
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 4: Could have done that, like, there's there's plenty you could

400
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 4: have put the.

401
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 2: Realize about that fan about that fan base, about the

402
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: enemy of the soccer, enemy of that town being green.

403
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: I don't. I just don't think I sense.

404
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 4: Here's yeah, But here's what I would say. The first

405
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 4: time humble brag that I went to Japan, right and

406
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 4: I was going over with the band that nobody's ever

407
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: heard of, but they had this huge all star musician

408
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 4: group with them. And the first thing that happened when

409
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 4: we all booked that when we found out we were

410
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 4: going to Japan, is that we got like an email

411
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: and the email was from the embassy that knew because

412
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: we were playing in a little city called Kumamoto, Japan,

413
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 4: And the email that we got were like, here are

414
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 4: the things you need to know about Kumamoto down to

415
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 4: what we couldn't bring in our suitcases, what would be

416
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 4: offensive to people there, how the like, how the community

417
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: would react to us going into bars, like all sorts

418
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: of like intricate detail on what to know about, how

419
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: to travel through Kumamoto to make sure that you weren't

420
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: offending anyone and you were respecting their culture. We got

421
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: that out of the gates. That's the music industry and

422
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 4: that was a band nobody ever heard of. If we

423
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: can get that, how does the NFL, if they're booking

424
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 4: a game in Brazil not sit down with somebody and

425
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 4: they're like, these are the teams we're considering, and somebody says, hey, Roj, Roj,

426
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: maybe not a good I'm just saying, like, no stone

427
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: unturned when you're worth the billions that the NFL but

428
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 4: is worth. So like, I love that they're going to

429
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 4: turn it into Hey, I'm getting a cool alternate jersey

430
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 4: for this because it's the Brazil game, and they'll monetize

431
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: the heck out of a mistake because they're capable of

432
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 4: doing that. I'm just saying short sighted on details.

433
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I feel you. I completely feel you. But

434
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 2: we had these games coming up Thursday and Friday and

435
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 2: then full Slate on Sunday, and I'll be honest with you,

436
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: there's very little that I feel certain about. I could

437
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 2: make the sweeping statements and say, I mean, obviously, you

438
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: know the Chiefs are of the favorite, and no whole thing.

439
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I look at it. I

440
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: like the Lions in the NFC.

441
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: We you and I fight over the Eagles of the Cowboys,

442
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 2: I don't know. I have a weird feeling that the

443
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: Niners aren't going to be as good. I look at

444
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: the AFC and I go, well, is which Roger's going

445
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: to be? And if he is really good, does that

446
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: mean the Jets are the best team in the AFC East? Well,

447
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 2: Buffalo tries to ground a pound that, And it's just

448
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: a weird vibe that I feel like I don't have

449
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: a There's not a lot of things I.

450
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: Believe in with like utter certainty. You agree with that.

451
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 4: The funny thing is I was doing a magazine interview

452
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 4: yesterday to promote some of the Yahoo Sports shows coming

453
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 4: out this football season, and the writer asked me. We

454
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 4: were doing fantasy football and college football mostly, so I

455
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: didn't expect the question, but the writer asked me who

456
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: your Super Bowl pick is? Now, doing what we do

457
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 4: for a living, you're always ready for those sorts of questions.

458
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 4: I get it. But my first answer to him, without hesitation,

459
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 4: was hell if I know? And I told him. He chuckled,

460
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 4: and I said, look, the reality of it is, for

461
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 4: what we do for a living, everybody expects us to

462
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 4: have these great predictions that I would say if I

463
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 4: knew who was going to be in or win the

464
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, I wouldn't be sitting on a mic right now.

465
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 4: I'd be living on an island and you know, off

466
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 4: my Vegas winnings right like. And we'll talk to the

467
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 4: brain later. Because for me, as somebody that you know

468
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 4: likes to likes, I'm past the point of even pretending

469
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: that I'm a dabbler with the gambling. Like I'll admit

470
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: that I'm closer to a degenerate during football season than

471
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 4: I am a dabbler. At this point. For me, I'm

472
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 4: putting absolutely zero dollars on this weekend. I just I

473
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: I need to see something before I can say anything

474
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: when it comes to what I think now, Yes, do

475
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: there are there teams we think are going to be good. Yeah,

476
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: we think the Lions are going to be good. We

477
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 4: think I think, even though we disagree on the very

478
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 4: the level of we both think the Eagles and the

479
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 4: Cowboys are going to be pretty good football teams. I

480
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 4: think the forty nine ers are likely going to be

481
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 4: pretty good. I think the Chiefs are going to be

482
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 4: good like that. But these are not grand, sweeping statements.

483
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 4: They're great.

484
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: Because conventional wisdom. Right, it's conventional wisdom going into the season.

485
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: But I'm look at it and I go, you know,

486
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: there feels like there's more variables. There's more uncertainty this

487
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: year than almost ever before.

488
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I can't remember a year where I was

489
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: this uncertain on not only who's going to the super Bowl,

490
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 4: but who really qualifies for the top tier in the bar?

491
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 4: You know, Like cause you all have heard me say

492
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: this million times. I like to separate things by like

493
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 4: if you walked into the bar and you say, give

494
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 4: me your top shelf you know whatever, margarita, then we

495
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 4: know if you order a top shelf margarita, you know

496
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 4: Disney World, it comes with a certain type of alcohol

497
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 4: in it, right, like versus Well, at this point, there

498
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: are teams that I think could be really good, but

499
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 4: I don't know that I can look at it and say, ah,

500
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 4: the top shelf are these couple? There are fatal flaws, Yeah,

501
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 4: butts to almost every team in the league right now.

502
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 4: And that's frankly, it's why I'm excited for this season.

503
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: But it also makes our job of trying to suddenly

504
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: come in and give everybody this big, grandiose statement of

505
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 4: who will in Like, that's such ps at this point

506
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 4: because who the hell knows? And I love it, but

507
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 4: who the hell knows?

508
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and truth be told. Uh, you know, it's always

509
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: been a sham. I mean, listen, you had an idea

510
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: before who was good? Like you can look at it

511
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: and go all right, well, you know, going to some

512
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 2: years you go into it and you go, look, it's

513
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: New England in Indianapolis, right, it's Manning and Brady. It's

514
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: staring at you. You kind of know that this is

515
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: how it's going to play out. Maybe there's some mertains

516
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: uncertainty in the NFC, but Manning and Brady are rurally

517
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: AFC now, I mean other than Mahomes and and you know,

518
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 2: as much as I liked, I love what they do

519
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: in Kansas City, and I know you know you feel

520
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: the same way.

521
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 3: Other than the Raider thing.

522
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 2: But of course, of course, you know I love I

523
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: mean Andy Reid, and you know that I've been with

524
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 2: those guys for a long time. See Spagnola, I mean,

525
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: they're They're just great, elite football man. Mahomes is ridiculous

526
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: and the whole thing. But you know they took a

527
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 2: hit defensively. You know, I told the Spags. You know,

528
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 2: it's going to take them some time to get right.

529
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: They lost two key playmakers on that defense, guys that

530
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: he relied on. And that defense is why they won

531
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: it last year. As great as Mahomes is with no weapons,

532
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 2: they won last year because of their defense. And that

533
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: defense isn't as good as it was last year.

534
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 4: What's funny to me? And by the way, for all this,

535
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 4: and I'll say this loudly because people forget it all

536
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 4: the time. People think that I'm anti Chiefs, I'm actually

537
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 4: the opposite, because it's much easier. This is like dealing

538
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: with how I deal emotionally with the fact that my

539
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 4: favorite team sucks. By Jason Fitz, Number one is admitting

540
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 4: that the team in their division is just spectacular. Like

541
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: for me, it's easier to accept that the Raiders are

542
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 4: in mired and mediocrity at best right now, when I

543
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 4: can look around and say, yeah, but you're taking on

544
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: Brady and Belichick, so you weren't gonna win the Super

545
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: Bowl this year anyway. So you know, I love the

546
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 4: fact that, you know, this version of Andy Reid and

547
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes has become as dominant to me as the

548
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,239
Speaker 4: era of dominance was for Brady and Belichick. I think

549
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: that's actually it's fun to watch somebody be that great,

550
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: and it makes it easier for me to understand why

551
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: my favorite team isn't in that level of contention. Weirdly,

552
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 4: that being said, you're right, there are things that they

553
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 4: have to do what the Chiefs have done. And the

554
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 4: reason I will bank on this Chiefs team for as

555
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 4: far as the eye can see, for as long as

556
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 4: I can do it is not just Patrick Mahomes. It

557
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: is the two names you've given me, Andy Reid and

558
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 4: Steve Spagnola, Like Spags and Reed, are great coaches, not

559
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: good coaches. They are great coaches. They are elite coaches.

560
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 4: They are among the best in development, they are among

561
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 4: the best in game plan they are among the best.

562
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 4: So I, as I say to everybody all the time,

563
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: I like chopped, you know, I want my coaches to

564
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 4: be able to open up the basket of ingredients and say, man,

565
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 4: I got spam, and I got from and vegetables, and suddenly,

566
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: out of that, I'm gonna make crapes that everybody wants

567
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 4: to eat for the rest of their lives, right Like,

568
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: I want a gourmet dish made out of absolute junk,

569
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: and I believe in Andy Reid and Spags in being

570
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: able to do that. I think when you look across

571
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 4: some of the other teams, there are real questions right

572
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 4: now about Sean McDermott. Frankly, I think that are fair

573
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 4: to ask. I'm not saying he should be on the

574
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: hot seat. I just think there are fair questions. I

575
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: think there are fair questions. I think there are fair

576
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 4: questions about MacArthur, right yeah. But I mean even just

577
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: the coaches, I think there are questions of like, can

578
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 4: this guy make chicken salad out of chicken? You know what?

579
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 4: And that's the difference.

580
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I listen, know you're right. Let me ask

581
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: you about Kaysas City. Let's get the person out for

582
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: a second receiver. Are they good enough at receiver? That

583
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: was their problem even somehow they somehow because we talked

584
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: about their defense and the greatness of Homes and Andy

585
00:29:54,200 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: and Spags, they somehow want are they competent enough receiver?

586
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: With Mark Heath Brown and then the same Hardman Sky Moore,

587
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: Racy Rice, it was. It was good last year Smith

588
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: shoes there. We've seen that before. Now I like Xavier

589
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: Worthy too.

590
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 4: I think he's Yeah, Xavier Worthy is the difference maker

591
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 4: to me, like I I mean you mentioned receiver, Like,

592
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 4: I think Xavier Worthy has shot, has a shot of

593
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 4: being the offensive.

594
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 3: Rookie of the year. I I agree.

595
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 4: I think Xavier Worthy is great.

596
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: And Ay'll figure out a way to use them.

597
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: So you know, he'll he'll he'll make him, He'll make

598
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: him into something.

599
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: But there was a Texas game last year. I can't

600
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 4: remember which one, forgive me everybody, but there's a Texas

601
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 4: game last year where Xavier Worthy was so open so

602
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 4: often that at one point you just saw him marching

603
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 4: back to the huddle and he was just he was

604
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: obviously you know, MF and his quarterback the whole way

605
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 4: and the next drive they came out and they just

606
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 4: fed him the ball and even when the defense new

607
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 4: was coming, they couldn't stop him. Xavier Worthy is somebody

608
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 4: that gets himself open a lot. So I think even

609
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 4: for a receiver that's twenty one years old, like I

610
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 4: think by the end of the year Xavier Worthy is

611
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 4: by the time they get to the playoffs, Xavier Worthy

612
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 4: is going to be I think, very good. And one

613
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 4: thing we have to acknowledge is the playoff portion of

614
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 4: this because to answer your question, are the wide receivers

615
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 4: good enough? No, today they aren't. But what did we

616
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 4: see last year in the playoffs when they knew their

617
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 4: wide receivers weren't good enough. That's when the emergence of

618
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 4: Travis Kelsey happened. And I don't think that that was

619
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: an accident. I think they were sort of saving, kind

620
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 4: of like you know, Michael Phelps in a swim meet,

621
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 4: saving everything until they needed it. So it's like, hey,

622
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: we'll play back, and you know, we'll figure out a

623
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 4: way to win week in and week out. Now we

624
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 4: got to the playoffs and for the next month, I

625
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 4: need you to press the turbo button. That's what Kelsey

626
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: has been able to do. So unless Kelsey hits a wall,

627
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 4: I think all they have to do is get themselves

628
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 4: into that playoff conversation, which Mahomes is going to let

629
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 4: them do barring injury. I think we are going to

630
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 4: be frustrated by the Chiefs until about week ten or eleven,

631
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 4: and then it is it's just gonna hit and it's

632
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 4: start looking prettier, and it's gonna look prettier, and it's

633
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 4: gonna look prettier. And not for nothing. I keep telling people, well,

634
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 4: go draft Isaiah Pacheco in your in your fantasy draft.

635
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 4: I believe that Isaiah Pacheco also has the chance to

636
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 4: really stand out in this offense. I'm not worried about

637
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 4: the Chiefs at all. They're the one team in the

638
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 4: league that I have very little concern.

639
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: Let's uh, at some point over the next couple hours,

640
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: I do want to go on and take a look

641
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: at each roster, each offense and pick two guys running

642
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: back in a receiver that we like all right on

643
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: each of these teams. So we're going to do that.

644
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: We'll go through the college late coming up as well.

645
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just so much to do. Oh my god, Fitzy,

646
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: we've made it. I feel like you and I right,

647
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: we're at the top of the mountain. Arm in arm

648
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: after this just long, arduous climb and we've made it.

649
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: Crack one open baby, where the fellas Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 10: It can help it.

656
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: When you were talking about the mountaintop, I was like,

657
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god, how cute would that be playing if Barry.

658
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 6: Manilow was just singing in the background, just watching a sunset.

659
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: Oh, that's fantastic.

660
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: I can only picture Anthony Gargano myself walking in the field,

661
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 4: just holding hands while Barry Manilow sings that walking behind us.

662
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 4: Like I don't want I don't want the recorded version.

663
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 4: I want actual Barry walking behind us singing it. Maybe

664
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 4: maybe the band's on like a little trailer with him

665
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 4: and he's doing it and we're just sort of tiptoeing

666
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: through the tulips while we philosophically about football coming on.

667
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 4: I need this in my life now.

668
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: Oh that's fantastic.

669
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: H Let's talk Colorado for for a second, the Colorado

670
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: Mania and look I understand from the whole you know

671
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 2: Prime stuff, I get it, But has there ever been

672
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 2: a team get this much notoriety who's not good?

673
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 3: They're not good.

674
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: I mean a couple of good players, I mean Travis Hunter, Cobb,

675
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: bless them right, and I think Sander's a player, But

676
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: they're not a good football team. And it boggles my

677
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 2: mind the amount of oxygen they take up.

678
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 3: And I don't even And I like Prime.

679
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: I think he's good for the sport and I think

680
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 2: he's good for that team, But our obsession is weird.

681
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, the very reason that we pay attention to Colorado

682
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: is because of the coach, Right, Like if if we

683
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 4: put any other logo and any other coach on there,

684
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 4: would people even care? Honest honestly, if Lane Kiffn was

685
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 4: the coach of Colorado. Is anybody really talking about last

686
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 4: night's game? And you're right, there are talented players there.

687
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 4: I take nothing away from that. But the fact that

688
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 4: people are so adamantly just they've taken sides in this

689
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 4: thing and it's become such a charged thing is the

690
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 4: very thing that wears me out about it. Like, what

691
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 4: I don't love about Colorado football isn't whether or not

692
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 4: they win or lose. What I don't love about Colorado

693
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 4: football is that people that don't really have a rooting

694
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 4: interest suddenly have a rooting interest, and it doesn't always

695
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 4: feel like it's for the best reason. So there's just

696
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 4: this moment of I guess the one thing you never

697
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 4: want to be in sports is irrelevant, and Colorado would

698
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 4: be irrelevant. The very reason that we pay attention to

699
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 4: Coach Prime is the very reason that Coach Prime is

700
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 4: worth the money to Colorado. But that's the very reason

701
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 4: that we shouldn't be paying attention to Coach Prime. Like

702
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 4: he doesn't play the gains. So you know, it's just

703
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 4: it's stupid to me that we watched North Kota State,

704
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 4: which is a better football program than a lot of

705
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,959
Speaker 4: people realize. I've been there. I went to North Akota

706
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 4: State South Dakota State the year I was traveling with

707
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 4: game Day like, it's it's a fun program, it's a

708
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 4: fun environment. They got kids that can play there that

709
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: just haven't gotten the big time chance. I understand all

710
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 4: of that, but the fact is Colorado does not look

711
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 4: like they're going to be a jugger out of a

712
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: team in a conference that doesn't really, you know, have

713
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 4: a juggernaut. But when Colorado's four and eight this year,

714
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 4: we still gonna care about him. I think the answer

715
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 4: should be no, but the answer will be yes because

716
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 4: all we're gonna be talking about is was Deon. I'm

717
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 4: gonna stick around after its kids get drafted. Like this

718
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 4: is a never ending conversation and I hate every second

719
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 4: of it.

720
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you, like last year, I got it,

721
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: like I got the phenomenon. I understood it for a

722
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: minute until it became obvious they couldn't stop anybody like

723
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 2: cool became obvious they're not good. Right again, outside you're not.

724
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: It's not a basketball team. Like again, I love Travis Hunter.

725
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: I think that kid is ridiculous. And he could play

726
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: both ways in the NFL. I mean there's situationally he

727
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: could do it. He's that talented. He was on the

728
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 2: field for one hundred and fifteen plays. But they're not

729
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: good and that's the absurdity. And it's like what and

730
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: if I'm neutral, and I really am kind of neutral,

731
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: I'm not, you know, the biggest prime guy because he

732
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: was a cowboy. We woke in the side. But I mean,

733
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: you know, I've always like like, I love his he's charismatic.

734
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 2: You know, I'm probably more pro than Cohn. I'm more negative.

735
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: I'm more positive than negative.

736
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 3: But like, just I don't know. I mean, they're not good,

737
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 3: They're not that good.

738
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: I just don't even understand why we're what are we

739
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: taking sides on?

740
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 4: Well, we're taking sides on. The funny thing is that

741
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 4: people are charging at Dion and saying we shouldn't care,

742
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 4: and then they're angry that we care, which is only

743
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 4: feeding into the very narrative like if you don't like something,

744
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 4: simply don't pay attention to it. Like that's that's the

745
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 4: simplest thing I tell people all the time.

746
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 2: I don't I don't understand why he's he gets to listen,

747
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: he's a character.

748
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 4: Well what happened? What's happening? And now is like people

749
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 4: are saying, well, you know, I'm just so tired of

750
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 4: you talking about a bad football team, and we're tired

751
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 4: of having Dion shoved down our throats. So then they're

752
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 4: anti Dion. But that's the whole point. Is like the

753
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: minute you became the minute you took a stance on it,

754
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: you became part of the problem. If you don't want

755
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 4: to listen to it, Like the easiest way to stop

756
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 4: everybody from talking about Dion is to not pay attention

757
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 4: to it. And you know, full transparency. With my job

758
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 4: covering college football, Yeah, who's sports. It took us three

759
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 4: weeks last year in the season before we saw the numbers,

760
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 4: and every time we put Colorado and Dion in any

761
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: of our recap college football videos, the numbers were bigger.

762
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 4: We weren't shoving Colorado down to anyone's throats. We were

763
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 4: giving the audience the Colorado that they obviously cared about

764
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 4: because if you put them in the video, even joked

765
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: about it on some of our videos, whereas like mandatory

766
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 4: Colorado clips so that you guys will watch this thing

767
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 4: like it's just that's real, you know. So if you're

768
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 4: sitting here saying it is, I'm so tired of listening

769
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 4: to it, stop paying attention.

770
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: To it, I know.

771
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: But you're right, it's it's this weird, vicious cycle. Like

772
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 2: you're right, like they are extremely relevant. I've seen the

773
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: numbers of our All City Network with our Colorado Buffalo show.

774
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 3: Does it does numbers that are ridiculous.

775
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: And go ahead, It's it's just one of those things

776
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 4: where I don't know which came first, the chicken or

777
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 4: the egg. But the fact is, as long as everybody

778
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 4: pays attention to something, everybody's going to talk about it.

779
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 4: And then people get more fired up in the pro

780
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 4: or anti like, it's not a it's not a black

781
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 4: and white world. It's gray world. And everybody could just

782
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 4: afford to learn that a little bit and just you know,

783
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 4: stop what the Colorado thing. I'm already worn out. We're

784
00:39:59,200 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 4: only one game in.

785
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: A I know, and I got you and listen. I mean,

786
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: there's a couple of good stories again. Shakir's a good story.

787
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 2: Sador is a good story. Uh, Travis Hollerd is a

788
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: good story, all right, But I mean we just got started.

789
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 2: Georgia doesn't get that kind of air where the Fellas

798
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 2: a look at today.

799
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 3: All right. We shall go through each.

800
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 2: And every game today, taking a look at who's in action,

801
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: what are we looking forward to, what we're excited about. Uh,

802
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: it's here, my brother, and you'll be at the sports

803
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: bar for the big a FLAC kickoff Clemson and Georgia.

804
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 3: We cannot wait for this in Atlanta.

805
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 2: Uh, and we'll see, we'll see if Clemson and Klebnik

806
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: can be anything.

807
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

808
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 4: And by the way, that's the big part of this,

809
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 4: right because Klebnick is somebody that had high expectations last

810
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 4: year they weren't met. Now, Clemson fans will tell you

811
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 4: that maybe we're Carson becking a little bit with Kay Klebnick, Like, hey,

812
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 4: there's still potential there. Let's not give up on the kid.

813
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 3: Yet, right.

814
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 4: Tough to have that that prove it matchup come against Georgia,

815
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 4: because Georgia is that good. The problem is Georgia is

816
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 4: that good and in our minds, Clemson is supposed to

817
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 4: be on the same tier as Georgia. They no longer are.

818
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 4: So I do think that there is a little bit

819
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 4: of like, hey, let's compartment lies. Two things can be

820
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 4: true at once. Clemson can get railed today by thirty

821
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 4: or forty points, which I wouldn't be surprised at all.

822
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 4: But that doesn't mean that all hope is lost for Clemson.

823
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 4: Just I'll be consistent. I said last week after Florida

824
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 4: State lost, Hey, all hope is not lost. They're still

825
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 4: expansion in college football payoff. They still have a chance.

826
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 4: I'm not going to give up on Clemson based solely

827
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 4: on how kid looks today. That's a tough undertaking. But

828
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 4: I expect Georgia, you know, I think it's a joke

829
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,919
Speaker 4: they call these games neutral. I expect Georgia in front

830
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 4: of a home crowd in Atlanta just just come in

831
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 4: and absolutely dominate and destroy Clemson, and you know, from there,

832
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 4: clembs don't have to figure out how to pick up

833
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 4: the pieces and who they are as a program moving forward.

834
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it'll be interesting, man. I'm looking forward to it.

835
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: I hope it's a game. I do hope it's a game.

836
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: I like Georgia. The line's twelve, I would I would

837
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 2: lay it. I don't think I don't think they cover.

838
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: I like Georgia.

839
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like Georgia big in this one. And that's

840
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 4: you know again, that's no disrespect to Clemson. That's all

841
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 4: respect to Georgia. I just like Georgia big.

842
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. My little guy just left for a tournament. Oh

843

862
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 2: Georgia clubs. I think it's funny we're talking about it.

863
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, yeah, that's when the second game of the

864
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 2: day is, right right, it's.

865
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't. I don't know how dads do

866
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 4: it that work in this business, you know. And one

867
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 4: thing that is is so clear, you know, one of

868
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 4: our both of us, we have a great friendship with

869
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 4: Kevin de Gandhi, and Kevin de Gandhi not only great dude,

870
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 4: but also really invested in great father. And I always

871
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 4: sympathize with Kevin, like most people don't care to sympathize

872
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 4: with anybody that's on TV all the time. But one

873
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 4: thing that is never lost on me, We'll say it

874
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 4: that way, is that, you know, Kevin's the co host

875
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 4: of the six pm Sports Center every day and then

876
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 4: Saturday is on camp all day to do college football

877
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 4: from you know, early in the day until very late

878
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 4: at night. And it's a beautiful thing to get to

879
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 4: sit with Booger every day and watch every weekend and

880
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 4: watch football all day. But man, also you think about

881
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 4: the amount of dad things that sort of conflict with

882
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 4: that it's just it's a part of the job. I

883
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 4: know a lot of people don't sympathize, but I always

884
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 4: sympathize when you talk about wanting to be there with

885
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 4: your kids. And also it's like, hey, it's not even

886
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 4: just a choice. Part of your job is to watch.

887
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm gonna go to the sports bar, but

888
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 4: tonight at ten pm, I will tape a show for

889
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 4: y'all who sports, the new College Football Power Hour. Will

890
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 4: tape a show that reacts to every single game. So

891
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 4: even though I'm out with friends, I'm not drinking. I'll

892
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 4: have you know, notes in front of me, and I'll

893
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 4: be writing things down feverishly all day to prep for

894
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 4: a show tonight. That's at least I don't have kids.

895
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 4: I don't know how you guys with kids do it.

896
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I know.

897
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: And Kevin's did a friend of both of ours, and

898
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 2: so we and we in fact, he's on my Philly

899
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 2: show every Thursday, and we're always texting during the week

900
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: about kids stuff. We have boys, same age and uh,

901
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 2: he's got three two boys we're the same age, and

902
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: he's got a daughter and we uh, we're always comparing notes,

903
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 2: right because his kids play baseball and my kids play baseball,

904
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 2: and it's like, all right, you know these tournaments they

905
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 2: got football and all things. And my kids they're just starting.

906
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: They just had our football season starts Thursday. So my Anthony,

907
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: my oldest, he starts freshman football Thursday.

908
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: The little one.

909
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 2: Is his season starts next week, so they'll be doing

910
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: all the stuff, the baseball and the football at the

911
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 2: same time. And uh and it's funny. Now, let me

912
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: ask you when you go to the sports bar to

913
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 2: watch these games with your restrictive diet that you're on. Yeah, yeah,

914
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 2: what like what are you jesting? Are you without any yet?

915
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 3: No?

916
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 4: Well, and technically i got one cheap meal a month,

917
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 4: but I'm not burning it today now, like I protect

918
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 4: those things. So here's the reality for today is because I,

919
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 4: you know, for anyone that's just new to this, I'm

920
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 4: on a fitness journey. And I you know, I was

921
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 4: not that I was in bad shape, but you know,

922
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 4: since May fifteenth, I'm down almost forty pounds and I've

923
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 4: cut my body fat down to thirteen percent, like twelve

924
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 4: and a half percent. So I'm on this journey. I'm

925
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 4: trying to get apps right. So I'm eating very regimented.

926
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 4: So this morning I got up, I posted this on Instagram.

927
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 4: I got up and I was for some reason, I

928
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 4: had I Am I said by Neil Diamond running through

929
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 4: my head. So I was loudly singing that for Annabelle

930
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 4: while I was making my food for the first half

931
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 4: of the day. So I got it before this morning

932
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 4: so I could make my food for the first half

933
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 4: of the day. When I get to the sports bar,

934
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 4: I will leave myself some calories to have a couple

935
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 4: of non alcoholic beers because those I've learned to like

936
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 4: the taste of those a lot. And during the day

937
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 4: it will be grilled chicken and I just everywhere I

938
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 4: go when they bring out the menu, I just asked, Hey,

939
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 4: can you grill me a chicken breast and make me

940
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 4: some like vegetables that don't have any butter on them,

941
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 4: just to go go play and steam them whatever you

942
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 4: want to do. And I order that wherever I go,

943
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 4: so you know, for each set of games, I'll order

944
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 4: a chicken breast and some vegetables and that will get

945
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 4: me through the day. I'll stay I'll stay clean and

946
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 4: hang out with the boys, and I'll just drink fake

947
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 4: beer and iced tea all day. It's it's you know,

948
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 4: the experience will still be there. I have to praise though.

949
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 4: One thing that has really stunned me in the last month,

950
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 4: when I've been able to add, you know, as long

951
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 4: as I account for the calories, I've added non alcoholic cocktails.

952
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 4: And like, there's a company named Liars that makes a

953
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 4: non alcohol spirit. And if you go to a good

954
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 4: bar that has a cocktail menu on non alcoholic stuff,

955
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 4: it's not just I want a virgin Peni Colada. That's

956
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 4: what I thought it was gonna be. It's not that

957
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 4: at all. Like there are comprehensive, complex cocktails that are

958
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 4: made that use fake spirits in it that still have

959
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 4: that like twinge of you know, you get that little

960
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 4: bitterness from this and you get like the actual taste

961
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 4: of it. So yeah, i'd.

962
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm for off of, but you know,

963
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 2: vodka's got no taste, and gin I'm a gen guy,

964
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 2: and gin's got a faint taste. But you know, it's

965
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: all about the mixer anyway, right, Like you get to

966
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: get cocktailed about the mixer.

967
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 4: Liars makes a gin and tonic in a can that

968
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 4: has no alcohol and tastes just like a gin and tonic.

969
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, I could imagine.

970
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 4: It's pretty surprising. And like there's a there's a pizza

971
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 4: place in West Hartford that I love called Savoy, and

972
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 4: Savoy has a cocktail, Like they have an espresso martini

973
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 4: that has what it's not just coffee and you know, sugar.

974
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 4: When you drink it, you really do like there's that

975
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 4: little alcoholic aftertaste. But they use you know, they use

976
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 4: Liar's spirits in it, and that's how they make it.

977
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 4: And it's pretty It's pretty incredible what they've been able

978
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 4: to do now to still give you that sensation. That

979
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 4: isn't just because I get frustrated if I go to

980
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 4: a place and they're like, well, just make you a

981
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 4: virgin margarita and it's like this is sour mix and

982
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 4: fruit juice, like that is that is not exactly what

983
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 4: I had in mind. So you know, a good bartender, though,

984
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 4: goes a long way, so you know, and all of

985
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 4: my buddies are aware of my journey and very supportive

986
00:49:58,320 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 4: of it, which I think is a huge part. Like

987
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 4: I don't get a lot of temptation from anybody. Everybody's

988
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 4: just like, hey can you eat here is just a

989
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 4: good spot. It's like, yep, thank you. So you know,

990
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 4: you just gotta have the right group around you and

991
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 4: you can stay on track.

992
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 2: Yeah that's good. Good for you, and listen, that'd be great.

993
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: You'll be set for noon today and uh that's our

994
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: first big game and you'll be enjoying yourself. I mean,

995
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,439
Speaker 2: it's it's good. How many well you do there?

996
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: Man?

997
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 2: I used to be my favorite when I was at

998
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 2: the posts and if I wasn't covering a game I

999
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 2: had a Saturday was off, which was rare, but we

1000
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: would go to we would go to the bar for

1001
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: noon and do like a ten hour shift, which is

1002
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 2: always the best.

1003
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 3: Man.

1004
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the only thing. I feel like. Some of

1005
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 4: my my friends are going to be, you know, one

1006
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 4: game and done and that's like that's I get it.

1007
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 4: I appreciate that so much. But I am sort of

1008
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 4: the let's rage you know, it says the guy that's

1009
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 4: not drinking. You know, I'm the guy that's like, let's

1010
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 4: get to the games at noon and then you know,

1011
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 4: like like I said, I take the college Football Power Hour.

1012
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 4: We'll probably take tonight at about eleven pm. Because we

1013
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 4: react to all of the games while it's fresh. So

1014
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 4: like to me, it's like I would if I have

1015
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 4: my way, I'd be out from noon until ten fifteen,

1016
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 4: hop in the car, get home and while it's all

1017
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 4: on my mind just immediately. But I think there's value

1018
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 4: to watching with a bunch of buddies that love college

1019
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 4: football because you do have this constant conversation, and that

1020
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 4: conversation helps you think of what you want to say

1021
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 4: and how you want to say.

1022
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 3: Oh, it helps your talking points, yeah, you know.

1023
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 4: One hundred percent, like and you know, just hearing people's

1024
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 4: reactions to things matters on that stuff too. So I think,

1025
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 4: you know, I'm really excited for that opportunity.

1026
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 2: Now, I've always thought that you and I've always told

1027
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 2: conversations because I have buddies of mine same fink. They're

1028
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 2: big college football guys and we love it. So I

1029
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 2: would always take our conversations whatever it is, you know, and.

1030
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 3: Take them to the I do it with us.

1031
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 2: Like, you know, we have a conversation that I think

1032
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 2: it's interesting, I'll bring it to you. So at noon

1033
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: after cleps in Georgia, we also have Pens West Virginia,

1034
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 2: and I love you know, who gets no love and

1035
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 2: Drew a law Drew Aller, who is the quarterback for

1036
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 2: Penn State, who's got a monster arm. Alar's got this big,

1037
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,959
Speaker 2: big arm. And I thought he was good last year.

1038
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 2: I think he could take it next up. He had

1039
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 2: no receivers either last year. So you remember Penn State

1040
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 2: had two really good receivers two years ago who had graduated.

1041
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: Last year. Alan didn't have that. And I liked him

1042
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 2: this year. I actually think that they could be good.

1043
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think Drew is again we talked about

1044
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 4: weird expectations because there was so much on Drew from

1045
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 4: the outset about Okay, he's gonna be great, He's gonna

1046
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 4: be the best Penn State quarterback we've seen, you know,

1047
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 4: all of the things that we were saying coming into

1048
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 4: last year. The fact that he was just very good

1049
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 4: almost felt like it wasn't enough. That to me is

1050
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 4: a little stunning. So, you know, this game is a

1051
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 4: great opportunity for him to come out and that West

1052
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 4: Virginia crowd like, by the way, let's just tip our

1053
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 4: cap to Penn State. West Virginia deciding that they were

1054
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 4: going to actually start the season with a true game

1055
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 4: against you know, a big name opponent, non conference in

1056
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 4: a real college football atmosphere. This isn't a neutral site. Well,

1057
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 4: we're gonna go to this NFL stadium. This is West Virginia.

1058
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 4: And I know a lot of people saw it yesterday.

1059
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 4: But when you see that crowd that lined up for McAfee,

1060
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 4: they canceled classes on campus yesterday because the entire campus

1061
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 4: is just so excited for this game. It's this is

1062
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 4: I think one of the most interesting things is how

1063
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 4: does Penn State handle what is going to be a

1064
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 4: true road environment week one, out of the gates, not Dublin,

1065
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 4: not Atlanta, like true road environment. This game is going

1066
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 4: to be closer, in my mind than the points.

1067
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 3: Sprint says, right now, seven and a half. You think Virginia,

1068
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 3: You like that out right?

1069
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,439
Speaker 4: I think West Virginia. No, I like West Virginia to cover.

1070
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 4: This just feels like a field goal at the end.

1071
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 4: You know. Yeah, I have a hard time seeing I

1072
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 4: have a hard time seeing two scores being the final score.

1073
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 4: So you know that's just that feels like a big

1074
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 4: leap to me. So uh yeah, I like I like

1075
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 4: West Virginia to cover. Penn State probably still wins, but again,

1076
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 4: I'll be very transparent, y'all. I am not putting money

1077
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 4: on any college football this weekend because I am I

1078
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 4: think we have too much to learn before we know.

1079
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I I it's funny, it's smart because week

1080
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 2: one you do not need You need to see with

1081
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: your eyes who's good who's not good. You need to

1082
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 2: you really need to judge, to judge. Especially it's so

1083
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 2: violent from year to year that what we think is

1084
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: good you need. You need more than just especially now

1085
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 2: with the portal the way it is, like, you don't

1086
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 2: know how guys are gonna fit in. Portal's wild, dude,

1087
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,959
Speaker 2: I mean the whole thing's wow. Like all these quarterbacks,

1088
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 2: it's wild. I mean it really is crazy.

1089
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 4: Well, and I love what you just said about the

1090
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 4: portal because you know this better than anybody. From the

1091
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 4: Eagles standpoint, we have learned to vilify the concept of

1092
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 4: super teams. We've learned to vilify the concept of dream teams.

1093
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 4: In the NFL, we villify any sort of attempt to

1094
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 4: bring in a bunch of personalities at once, and we

1095
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 4: immediately stand up and say, this is not the NBA,

1096
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 4: this will not work. That is our constant conversation around

1097
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 4: the NFL. But it's not our conversation in college football,

1098
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 4: and I think maybe it should be because we are

1099
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 4: sitting here, you know, one and Done's we talk about

1100
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 4: that in college basketball. Can you really put a full

1101
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 4: roster of one and duns together? What if they don't? Gel?

1102
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 4: Ole miss over here is the true test the way

1103
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 4: they have built this year. They just went in and

1104
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 4: they plucked every superstar they could. They bought every superstar

1105
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 4: they could no discredit to them out of the transfer portal,

1106
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 4: and they put themselves in a situation where they have

1107
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 4: a super team, they have a dream team. Can it work?

1108
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 4: One thing that I think we almost take for granted

1109
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 4: as well, look at what they did in the transfer portal,

1110
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 4: and I'm looking at it saying, well, if a bunch

1111
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 4: of grown ass men at the NFL level have a

1112
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 4: hard time jelling together, if they're a super team, why

1113
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 4: do we presume that a bunch of kids at the

1114
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 4: college football level are going to suddenly figure that out?

1115
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 4: So I'm interested, truly to see if there's an adjustment period.

1116
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 4: Can the transfer portal simply buy teams like it worked

1117
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 4: one year for Meltucker at Michigan State, and he got

1118
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 4: him one hundred million dollars. And I'm talking about the football,

1119
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 4: not the man. So he got him one hundred million

1120
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 4: dollars and then it didn't work after that. So let's

1121
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 4: be honest about that as we try and figure out,

1122
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 4: you know what, how the right way for a team

1123
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 4: to build.

1124
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 2: I know, it's funny you said that, because that dream team. Man,

1125
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 2: I'll never forget that because everybody was fooled. Everybody was fooled.

1126
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 2: And Vince Young, remember the Texas quarterback Vince Young. Oh yeah, idea,

1127
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: yeah right, Vince Young was the back. He was a

1128
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 2: backup quarterback, and he was the one who said it.

1129
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 2: And he wasn't saying it in it like and even

1130
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 2: not even in a you know, braggadocious manner. He was

1131
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 2: just saying it, Yo, dude, we're good, like we're a

1132
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 2: dream team. And and you thought they were, and they were.

1133
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: It just was a flop, major flop. And it's interesting

1134
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 2: because that was Howie Roseman's first kind of uh foray

1135
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 2: into GMing he and and and Joe Banner.

1136
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 3: It was a horrible story.

1137
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,439
Speaker 2: Andy Reid had lost his uh, one of his sons, right,

1138
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 2: and he gave up personnel and how he and Joe

1139
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 2: Banner took over personnel. Joe Bantner became the president of

1140
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 2: the Browns, and they had all this cap space and

1141
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 2: they went wild. They signed Nomshi I remember him right like?

1142
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 2: They signed Yes, Yes, they signed all these guys and

1143
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 2: it was all flop. It was all flop and and

1144
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: and you make a great point like, how does that

1145
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 2: work in college if it can't work in the NFL.

1146
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure it will. That's one of the

1147
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 4: most interesting things we are sleeping on in this.

1148
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: Process, I know, are we sleep little Mindy Kiffer, I'm

1193
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Brianna and of course Mighty Mark with us, Jason fitz on,

1194
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: Anthony Argana and we have a big day of college football,

1195
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 2: so we're going kind of going through the games. You

1196
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 2: like West Virginia to keep it close at home, which

1197
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: makes sense. I'm curious how good Penn State is. They're

1198
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 2: ranked eighth going into it, so we'll see. I mean,

1199
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: clearly it's Ohio State. But this is a big year

1200
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 2: for Franklin, right he had the Michigan Ohio State built

1201
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 2: in excuse. But now there's no shoes. And that's a

1202
01:00:55,320 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 2: lot of these coaches after the top six now it's

1203
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 2: like you've got to make the playoffs, like there's no

1204
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 2: Now it adds a different sort of pressure to these coaches.

1205
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 4: I think there's also a interesting because you mentioned pressure,

1206
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 4: and I've heard on Fox Sports Radio this mentioned several

1207
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,439
Speaker 4: times that over the course of the last twelve years,

1208
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 4: Penn State would have made the playoffs six times. I

1209
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 4: think they said if it had been expanded, that's the

1210
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 4: way that So the narrative will change on Penn State,

1211
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 4: to which I say it better, right Like, I think

1212
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 4: that actually creates more pressure and Penn State is good.

1213
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 4: There's no doubt the Penn State's good. To me, there's

1214
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 4: no doubt that as we sit right now, Ohio State

1215
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 4: and Oregon are better. So Ohio State and Oregon, in

1216
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 4: my mind, are the top two teams in their conference.

1217
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 4: Then we get into a little bit of what's gonna happen,

1218
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 4: and I don't think, you know, it's unthinkable that Penn

1219
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 4: State can finish third in the conference and still make

1220
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 4: the playoffs. That's not a problem at all. But let's

1221
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 4: see what happens in the SEC as well. If you

1222
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 4: start to turn around and you look at and say, okay, well,

1223
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 4: Georgia we believe is going to be very good. Who

1224
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 4: else from that? Texas, Oklahoma? You know you've got them

1225
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 4: coming in, They're going to be very good. Obviously, I

1226
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 4: think Tennessee has a sneaky shot at the playoffs. This

1227
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 4: year too, So you know, all of a sudden, you'll

1228
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 4: be looking at a lot of teams from the big

1229
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 4: ten of the SEC competing and I'm not sure that

1230
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 4: you can be just pretty good and still make it. Now,

1231
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 4: it'd be a stunning development at Penn State doesn't find

1232
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 4: themselves in the playoffs and then all of a sudden,

1233
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 4: I think, you know, hell hath no fury. That fan

1234
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 4: base is going to be absolutely losing their minds trying

1235
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 4: to figure out what the problem is with James Franklin.

1236
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,919
Speaker 4: So it's interesting that expansion creates opportunity for Penn State,

1237
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 4: but I do believe it also creates a substantial amount

1238
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 4: of pressure.

1239
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 3: Ah big time.

1240
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing about Franklin is that he's

1241
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 2: widely reviewed.

1242
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 3: As a great recruiter, and he is. He knows how

1243
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 3: a good talent.

1244
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 2: He gets really good talent, but suspect game day coach,

1245
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 2: and that's kind of his m O. And this will

1246
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,439
Speaker 2: be interesting because here's the other problem. Right, it's one

1247
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 2: thing your conditioned now to the Ohio State Michigan thing,

1248
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 2: and you're right, Oregon's better, But like that's something that

1249
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 2: people are going to have little patience for.

1250
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, patience is going to be such a word. I

1251
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,479
Speaker 4: think that we use it like make it a power

1252
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 4: our shotgame every time we say patients on Saturday mornings

1253
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 4: for the rest of the year, just rip one. Because

1254
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 4: I do think that expectations are so high for so

1255
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 4: many programs right now. Like if you just look across

1256
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 4: the board at programs that think that they have the

1257
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 4: chance to be pretty good, they are not going to

1258
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 4: be patient. And they should be patient because this new

1259
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 4: evolution of college football playoff now everybody thinks they deserve

1260
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 4: a seat at the table. I just think that there's

1261
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 4: much more weight and see than anybody wants to hear.

1262
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 4: And you're right, like if you're James Franklin and the

1263
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 4: level of patients that that Penn State has is going

1264
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 4: to be tiny, you know, But if you're Iowa that

1265
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 4: right now is currently ranked twenty fifth, and again I'll scream.

1266
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 4: I think I always got a pretty manageable schedule. A

1267
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 4: lot of the ways, like how does that play into

1268
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 4: what everybody else gets throughout the course of the year.

1269
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 4: You know, if you're Nebraska and you go on a

1270
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 4: run because you have a softer schedule, it doesn't necessarily

1271
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 4: and I don't mean this in a way that's detrimental

1272
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 4: to the program. It's just if your path to get

1273
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 4: to the College Football Playoff looks easier, Like if you

1274
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 4: look at Texas and Oklahoma, their schedules are wildly different,

1275
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 4: so their expectations should be different and you should have

1276
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 4: a different level of patients. But I don't know how

1277
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 4: we teach anybody at this point.

1278
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I mean listen, yeah, that is what

1279
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 3: it is.

1280
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 2: So you brought up the You brought up their schedule,

1281
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 2: Nebraska schedule real quick, just so we have in Frendia

1282
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 2: you tep at home today next Saturday. I can't wait

1283
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 2: for this game Nebraska Colorado. No, yeah, dude, I can't

1284
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 2: wait because, by the way, I don't know how fond

1285
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:05,479
Speaker 2: Matt rule is of the I how about how far.

1286
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 4: You many coaches would say that.

1287
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you give those guys, especially those guys

1288
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 2: that are like grind their coaches they look at him,

1289
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 2: go right, he talk a lot of talk. That's gonna

1290
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 2: be interesting because the kid Royola could play.

1291
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 4: That's the big part of this. For anyone that doesn't know.

1292
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 4: Royola is the highest ranked recruit that Nebraska has ever

1293
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 4: gotten at the quarterback position, right, so you start talking

1294
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 4: about what Rayola is going to mean, and he's the legacy.

1295
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 4: His dad obviously meant a lot to that program, but

1296
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 4: it was a big get when he went there, a

1297
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 4: big get and with the big get for a fan

1298
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 4: base that's been sitting back, Like I've made the joke

1299
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 4: for years that they should rename it Nebatska because there's

1300
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 4: just no good most of the time. This is that moment,

1301
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 4: and I think culture is something we talk a lot about.

1302
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 4: Matt Ruhle I learned this, and you know this, known

1303
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 4: him as well as you do. But it really stood

1304
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 4: out to me when I talked to him a lot

1305
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 4: the year I was out with Game Day and we

1306
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 4: were Baylor. I talked to Rule a lot, and he

1307
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 4: talked about how for him, there's a certain way he

1308
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 4: wants things to go. There's a certain expectation, but there's

1309
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 4: also just a certain communication culture that has to be

1310
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 4: created that takes a little bit of patience, takes a

1311
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 4: little bit of grace, and it takes a little bit

1312
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 4: of understanding. I said when he went to the NFL,

1313
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 4: like it can can he get that grace, patience and

1314
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 4: understanding at the NFL level, we saw that maybe that

1315
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 4: didn't happen at the college level. It just it. It

1316
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 4: was gonna take him a second. And I don't think

1317
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 4: that's a bad thing. But now if you're in Nebraska,

1318
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 4: you're looking at it and saying, my god, we've got

1319
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 4: a modern coach, We've got a modern quarterback. I want

1320
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 4: to see a modern offense that goes out and just

1321
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 4: absolutely decimates people like Nebraska fans right now speaking confident.

1322
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 2: He really is a terrific coach, I gotta tell you.

1323
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 2: And the NFL thing he took over his first year

1324
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:51,919
Speaker 2: was the pandemic. So his first year he could didn't

1325
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 2: see He didn't even meet his players until training camp

1326
01:06:55,560 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 2: when they had to be sequestered by position, like they

1327
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 2: were never in the same room. It was bizarre because

1328
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 2: of the COVID situation, and then he can't find a quarterback,

1329
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 2: and then you know he's got an impatient owner and

1330
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 2: it's over. And when it just got started, it's shape.

1331
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the COVID thing and the lack

1332
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 2: of patience and some of the stuff thrust on them

1333
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 2: kind of killed the NFL experience.

1334
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,919
Speaker 3: But he made the mistake. He's a great coach.

1335
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 2: Anyway, they got four straight home games to start the season, UTEP, Colorado,

1336
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 2: Northern Iowa, Illinois. They go to Purdue, then they're at

1337
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 2: home again Rutgers. Then they go to Indiana. Then their

1338
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 2: first test, their first tough game, comes October twenty sixth

1339
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 2: at Ohio State.

1340
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 3: So they're in Columbus home.

1341
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 2: Nebraska at USC home, Wisconsin at Iowa.

1342
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 3: So the back half get it's pretty tough.

1343
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it gets tough, but it gets manageable. I don't

1344
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 4: think that that's so tough that they can't handle, you know.

1345
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 4: And remembering that now that now that everything is in

1346
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,439
Speaker 4: that conference is going to be you know, the top

1347
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 4: two teams go to the conference championship game. If you

1348
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 4: if you look at that schedule and the way you

1349
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 4: just read it, and then you you think about, okay,

1350
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 4: where are the the definitive this is a loss. Okay,

1351
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 4: at Ohio State they're probably gonna lose that football game.

1352
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 4: Is Nebraska going to be worse than USC at that point?

1353
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, where where's USC? Yeah? And

1354
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 4: they got Wisconsin at home, you know, and then they

1355
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 4: get Iowa team that you know, if if you could

1356
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 4: score points against that Iowa team so far you can

1357
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 4: beat them. So if I'm Nebraska, I can make a

1358
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 4: If I'm a Nebraska fan, I can make a compelling

1359
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 4: point to look at this and say we lose one,

1360
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 4: maybe two games, which could put you in the conference

1361
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 4: championship game, and that that's what's crazy about that.

1362
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I that's exactly it.

1363
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 2: All right, Speaking of Iowa, you got Iowa today too, buddy,

1364
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 2: you got the Hawkeyes. You know what's funny about them?

1365
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 2: They were so I mean that defense. I mean, as

1366
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 2: if as they were on offense, the defense was still ridiculous,

1367
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 2: their defense was amazing.

1368
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 4: And doesn't that I mean that speaks to if you

1369
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 4: were turning around and you're like, my god, all we

1370
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 4: need to do is figure out somebody at the quarterback position.

1371
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 4: So you know, they face a one game suspension for

1372
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 4: going out and getting Kid McNamara. That, you know, But realistically,

1373
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 4: if you're Iowa, you have just been begging for years

1374
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 4: to get some level of just competence on the offensive

1375
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 4: side of the ball, and if you have that, you're

1376
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 4: pretty unstoppable. That defense every single year is spectacular. So

1377
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not going to count Iowa out of anything.

1378
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 4: Even though I don't think they're a great football team.

1379
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 4: Can they cause I don't think they're a football team

1380
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 4: on the level some of the other teams we're talking about,

1381
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 4: let me say it that way. Can they cause absolute chaos?

1382
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 4: I think Iowa is a playoff wrecker. They're gonna go

1383
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 4: out there and they're gonna be ugly, and they're gonna

1384
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 4: call some ugly games, and they're gonna be in the

1385
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 4: conversation the entire way. And let's remember that it was

1386
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,759
Speaker 4: even ugly last year in the Big Ten for Iowa

1387
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 4: in the Big Ten championship. So I think that they

1388
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 4: have a shot at making some noise and making things

1389
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 4: just mucky enough that suddenly we're sitting here at the

1390
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 4: end of the year saying, God, are we really talking

1391
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 4: about Iowa as a playoff team? Yeah? Iowa. Nebraska is

1392
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 4: sort of the Spider Man meeting. They're pointing at each

1393
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 4: other and both believe that they have a real shot.

1394
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 3: Agreed, All right, here's some of the other games.

1395
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 2: Vanderbelt, va Tech, Phil Valtech's at Vandy, YU Concept, Maryland Water, Yeah, Louisville, Austin, Pe,

1396
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 2: Purdue in the United State, pitt and Kent State Oklahoma State,

1397
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 2: South Dakota State. South Dakota State is actually not a

1398
01:10:58,160 --> 01:10:58,879
Speaker 2: bad program.

1399
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 4: Saw with North Dakota State, you know, and and ESU

1400
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 4: took it to Colorado, right, So I think there's a

1401
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 4: there's a little level of just you know that lot.

1402
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 3: You know, how much take it get Oakie State?

1403
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 4: I have none.

1404
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 3: So if I said to you, gig throw a number.

1405
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 4: Out, uh seven and a half?

1406
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 12: Wow?

1407
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 3: Really? I no, I mean, I'll be honest with you.

1408
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna say twenty one.

1409
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, like I it's nine.

1410
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 3: And a half.

1411
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 2: No.

1412
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 4: I look, South Dakota State just gets this weird. I

1413
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 4: was at North Dakota State, South Dakota State that rivalry matchup,

1414
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 4: and South Dakota State is you know, they're they're They're

1415
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 4: one of those programs that a lot of people respect,

1416
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 4: and you know, so I'm not I'm not totally surprised

1417
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 4: by it. Also, because it's week one, right, Like if

1418
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 4: this game we're in week six or seven, I think

1419
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,719
Speaker 4: we might have a different mindset. Like, you know, even

1420
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 4: we started the show kind of joking about Temple getting

1421
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 4: their butts kicked, there was a part of me that

1422
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 4: was like, will Temple even keep it close for the

1423
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,759
Speaker 4: first half, like is Oakley Holma ready? These Week one matchups?

1424
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 4: I think huge lines sometimes make me really nervous, Like,

1425
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 4: you know, I don't think Chattanooga is gonna give Tennessee

1426
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,719
Speaker 4: any fight. But also, whatever that line is, I'm presuming

1427
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 4: that line is in the low forties, like I would

1428
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 4: be nervous about that just because it's Week one. So yeah,

1429
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 4: I think South Dakota State being as good as they're

1430
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 4: an Oklahoma State being you know, sort of in the

1431
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 4: in the mid tier. Yeah, I'm seven and a half

1432
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 4: would have been my guess. Nine and a half makes sense.

1433
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny.

1434
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 2: I guess I thought it would be because it's in

1435
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 2: it's at Oklahoma State.

1436
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 3: I thought that number.

1437
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 2: Would be closer to fourteen, right, thirteen fourteen, because it's

1438
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:44,719
Speaker 2: it's there.

1439
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 3: But I agree with that.

1440
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 4: I think they're better, like being in Oklahoma State should

1441
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 4: have should have lifted that. I didn't really, I didn't

1442
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 4: really think of that.

1443
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, Tennessee home Chattanooga.

1444
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,600
Speaker 2: Uh, what else we got Ohio State taking guess what

1445
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 2: that number is Ohio State Akron.

1446
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 4: Let's say forty four, forty two, forty.

1447
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,640
Speaker 3: Four close forty eight and a half.

1448
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 2: Who buck, guys laying forty eight and a half sixty

1449
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 2: three to three.

1450
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 4: That's what it feels like it, man, it feels like

1451
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 4: that is just happening right there.

1452
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh okay, we're gonna take quick to you. We'll

Speaker 2: first Big Saturday right here and here we go. So

1462
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 2: let's continue our little foray throughout the college football landscape.

1463
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 2: What's the of the early games? Which is the one

1464
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 2: you're looking forward to the most?

1465
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 4: Penn State West Virginia out of the slate we've gone through,

1466
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 4: like Florida or sorry, Clemson, Georgia, I know is the

1467
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 4: one that gets all the recognition, But Penn State West Virginia.

1468
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 4: I think the environment's going to be incredible on that.

1469
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 4: Just being around, it's going to be incredible, and it

1470
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 4: feels like a better game to me by the time

1471
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:39,600
Speaker 4: it's all said and done than Georgia Clemson does so

1472
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 4: even though Georgia Clemson gets all the name recognition. And

1473
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 4: then I started to mention it. But I know we

1474
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 4: haven't gotten to this yet. But to me, one of

1475
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,600
Speaker 4: the craziest stories of today is it a game like

1476
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 4: Miami at Florida feels lost, Like it just nobody's sitting

1477
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 4: there saying, ooh, Miami Florida can't wait for that one

1478
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 4: at three point thirty. And I know, honestly we've said this,

1479
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 4: but if you look at Florida schedule, I think Florida

1480
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 4: could be a good football team that loses a lot

1481
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 4: of games. They have a brutal stretch this year. But man,

1482
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 4: I just remember when Miami Florida the world stopped for

1483
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 4: that game and now it's just buried in the afternoon sleep.

1484
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1485
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 2: I know, it's bizarre, dude, the Gators caves Gators like

1486
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:23,600
Speaker 2: what like it just doesn't even matter. It's bizarre. I

1487
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 2: completely with you, but I'm like, wow, how come talk

1488
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 2: about the mighty fallen from back in the day. Now

1489
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 2: I am I'm curious about Texas right now. They got

1490
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 2: a bit in the you know, a cupcake against Colorado State.

1491
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 3: They're a thirty four point favorite. But it's a good

1492
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 3: tune up.

1493
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 2: Because Michigan is next week and I'm looking forward to

1494
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 2: say in Texas man, I think this is uh, you know,

1495
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 2: I think they're really good, the Yewers. It's all lining

1496
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 2: up for him. I'm curious to see where this utt team.

1497
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:03,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, the viewers part of it is so interesting because

1498
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 4: I mean, you think about how we had anointed Arch

1499
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 4: is going to be. You know, Arch Manning was going

1500
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 4: to be the quarterback of the team by this point,

1501
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 4: and for that not to be happening speaks to Quinn.

1502
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 4: But also how patient will the entire Texas program be

1503
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 4: if there's any level of struggle? And this game could

1504
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 4: be interesting because you're right what I think, we get

1505
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 4: his blowout here, But what becomes interesting is in a

1506
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 4: blowout in the second half, does Quinn sit and then

1507
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 4: they bring in Arch Manning instead, and all of a sudden,

1508
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 4: you end up, you know, just getting a little glimpse

1509
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 4: of what the quarterback situation looks like. Texas is stacked

1510
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 4: and they're loaded, and you're right. I think this is

1511
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 4: a really smart scheduling moment for them because they get

1512
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 4: to get some of the you know, ickiness out before

1513
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 4: they take on Michigan. And what next week is going

1514
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 4: to be the game of the week. I mean, everybody's

1515
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 4: going to be there. I'm sure everybody's going to be

1516
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 4: infatuated with it. I'm sure Big Noon will be there,

1517
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 4: Game Day will be there. I'm sure. Like it's just

1518
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 4: next week, it is going to be a destination, Oh

1519
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 4: my god, Michigan Texas game that everybody's going to have

1520
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,040
Speaker 4: all eyes on. So it is important to want. I

1521
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 4: just want, especially to get a feel for what they

1522
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,440
Speaker 4: should be looking like next week against the tougher.

1523
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 2: O podum okay, I ask your question, and I and

1524
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 2: I love the fact that you know, Fox has big

1525
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 2: new kickoff and I generally like it, except dude, I

1526
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 2: love like at Texas Michigan. I gotta go prime time. Dude,

1527
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 2: I need a Saturday night.

1528
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 4: See this is my hotach. I like Saturday afternoon games

1529
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 4: better than Saturday night games. I do like. I like

1530
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 4: the three thirty kickoff, like I loved the SEC on

1531
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 4: CBS for years, Like I like that mid afternoon, like this.

1532
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 4: I feel like noon is the little advertiser. You're good,

1533
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 4: three point thirty is the main dish, and then you know,

1534
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 4: the night game is the dessert. Like that's I'm good

1535
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 4: with that, and I want a good dessert. But I

1536
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 4: don't have to have dessert, you know, Like I have to.

1537
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:55,600
Speaker 4: It's harder to get the guys, the buddies out in

1538
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 4: the sports bar watching it's seven thirty Eastern. You know,

1539
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 4: they don't want to go out that late watch. We're

1540
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 4: all gonna be relegating back to somebody's house by them

1541
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 4: for Notre Dame Texas A and M tonight. So you know,

1542
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 4: I feel like there's something about the three thirty time

1543
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 4: stot that I sort of cherish. I'm the exception to

1544
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 4: that rule. But I do like big noon going straight

1545
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 4: into a kickoff of a big game. Oh man, that's

1546
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 4: that's electric. When you got the beautiful like the sun's

1547
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,640
Speaker 4: out and the leaves are turning, that's just it's just

1548
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 4: all that comes together for me. I like day games

1549
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 4: better than night games.

1550
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

1551
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 3: Now I have to say, I do like.

1552
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,640
Speaker 2: Three thirty is a great is a great game, Like

1553
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 2: I like a Saturday afternoon three thirty game I feel you,

1554
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,719
Speaker 2: but like, to me, the best in the game at

1555
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 2: needs to be at night.

1556
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 3: Now.

1557
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 2: I love them to say that because of Dad's schedule

1558
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 2: and Saturday night's easier for me than that Saturday during today.

1559
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,759
Speaker 3: But I mean, and I like Saturday three thirty.

1560
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 2: Three thirty is like, you know, that's that's college football, right, Like,

1561
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 2: so I'm with you, But man, a Saturday night on

1562
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 2: the lights and whether it's a white out at Penn

1563
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 2: Stain or LSU, I mean, how Nancy's batt rouge at

1564
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 2: night something ominous about that.

1565
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 4: You're one hundred percent right. This is a me thing

1566
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 4: because I even on Sundays, like, I prefer Sunday one

1567
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 4: o'clock if I had the job. Really, my favorite times

1568
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 4: I take one o'clock over the Sunday night came all day.

1569
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 4: The Sunday night game to me is just like by

1570
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 4: that point, you know, when I was when I was

1571
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 4: partying with everybody. By that point, I was already partied out,

1572
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,719
Speaker 4: what you know, doing this for a living. By that point,

1573
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 4: you're like, Okay, I've watched so much football. This game

1574
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 4: is gonna be good. I'm gonna watch it. But I

1575
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 4: like having three or four games go on at once.

1576
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 4: I like the chaos of it. I like, you know,

1577
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,640
Speaker 4: I like daylight. I like daylight during my football. I'm

1578
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:55,799
Speaker 4: not gonna lie. I like daylight my football.

1579
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 3: That's what I'm one o'clock man.

1580
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 4: I'm a one o'clock guy. Yeah, that one o'clock. Oh,

1581
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 4: the one o'clock slate hits so clean for me because

1582
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 4: like there are so many games going on at once,

1583
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 4: and it's electric. Everybody's so excited. Like you get to

1584
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 4: Sunday night football, the bar is usually empty on the

1585
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 4: East Coast. Nobody's really hanging out. Only two fan bases care,

1586
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 4: Like I want I want chaos, my friend. I want

1587
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 4: everybody party, and I want everybody to do.

1588
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you enjoy the but as far as quality, like

1589
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 2: the quality of game, Like I get why you like

1590
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 2: the action, but you know, I like the.

1591
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 4: Give me a better game on Sunday night.

1592
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, right, like you know, just the football's good,

1593
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 3: and that's what I mean.

1594
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 2: Like a Michigan you know, Texas is is nighttime.

1595
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:46,200

Speaker 3: This is a great weekend. Man.

1607
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 2: It all begins today full slight. We had a little

1608
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 2: appetizer Thursday Friday. Today, two monster games. We've been going

1609
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 2: through the schedule. Today Clemson Georgia at noon and then

1610
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 2: we'll talk about the night game, which is highlighted by

1611
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and Texas A and M, which I cannot

1612
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 2: wait for.

1613
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 8: The Irish.

1614
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 2: I joke all the time when my little one place

1615
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 2: quarterback and so well, I always joke about where he's

1616
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:04,679
Speaker 2: going to school.

1617
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 3: I go, dude, you're gonna go play Notre Dame.

1618
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 4: And he's he wants to play.

1619
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 2: He's like, no, I'm not gonna go play Georgia.

1620
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 4: Had a boy, so he wants to actually win championships

1621
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 4: and not.

1622
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:24,799
Speaker 2: Just make the playoffs exactly he's not gonna play in Georgia.

1623
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 3: I gotta doude. We think Notre Dame ped State.

1624
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 2: He's like, what, I'm blaming Georgia.

1625
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:35,680
Speaker 4: I don't blame him at all. I look, but the

1626
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 4: Notre Dame part of this, though, is so interesting because remember,

1627
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 4: they can't get a top four seed no matter what

1628
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 4: they do. Like, Notre Dame could go undefeated and cannot

1629
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 4: get a top four seeds. So because they don't play

1630
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 4: in a conference on football, they don't have the opportunity

1631
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 4: for a top four seed and a bye. So no

1632
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:57,680
Speaker 4: matter what, Notre Dame is basically playing to get a

1633
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 4: wild card every single time in the college football playoff,

1634
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 4: which makes some of these games really significant because they

1635
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 4: don't have a ton of wiggle room. They don't have

1636
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 4: an automatic way to get through if things go wrong.

1637
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,719
Speaker 4: They don't have Florida State's opportunity, they don't have Clemson's

1638
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,680
Speaker 4: opportunity to be an okay football team and still get

1639
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 4: their way in. They don't have the opportunity to sort of,

1640
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 4: you know, find a backdoor cover to get into the

1641
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 4: college football playoffs. So I think this is wildly interesting

1642
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 4: for Notre Dame because you know, there are certainly going

1643
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 4: to be if they go out and they lose to

1644
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 4: A and M, and they lose in any sort of

1645
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 4: convincing fashion, then they're gonna be people that want them

1646
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 4: eliminated from the college football playoff conversation right now, I

1647
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 4: think that pressure is different than anybody else in the

1648
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 4: country faces, which makes you Notre Dame very unique.

1649
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 2: So I'll ask you, let's talk about them for a second.

1650
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 2: Because they are an underdog. A and M is a

1651
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:54,679
Speaker 2: three point favorite in this game. Rob, I'm cures, I'm

1652
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:58,600
Speaker 2: really curious, right, because what's Riley Leonard going to look like?

1653
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 2: I mean, I got to think that he's I'm excited

1654
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 2: about it, you know, I think he's gonna look good,

1655
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 2: But you know, I'm curious, like what's that going to

1656
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 2: be like?

1657
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 3: For that? How good is there?

1658
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 4: Also, like Riley Leonard's taking on his former head coach,

1659
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 4: like Mike Elko is now the head coach of Texas

1660
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 4: A and M. So y'all like, who knows Riley That

1661
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 4: Riley Leonard better than Elco? Nobody, right? And who knows

1662
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 4: Elco better than anybody Riley Leonard?

1663
01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 3: Right?

1664
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 4: So there is some level of that becomes really interesting.

1665
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 4: But Notre Dame's offensive line man like they're replacing a

1666
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 4: couple of guys. I just don't know what to make

1667
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 4: of that. Texas A and M's defense has some big

1668
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 4: boys on it, so you know, I flying for Notre Dame.

1669
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 3: Is good for A M. The kids. Scourton is really good.

1670
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 3: He's a defensive end.

1671
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 4: This is such a tough matchup because it's Week one too,

1672
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 4: so you know, I think Notre dames offensive line could

1673
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,759
Speaker 4: really struggle here. So Riley's gonna have to use his wheels,

1674
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 4: which is more than capable of doing. He's really athletic.

1675
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 4: But Riley's gonna have to play a clean football game

1676
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 4: to win this. I don't think Notre Dame has to

1677
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 4: win it to be in the college football playoff conversation.

1678
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 4: But if they lose by two touchdowns, there are gonna

1679
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:15,680
Speaker 4: be people that scream. This is why they can't make

1680
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

1681
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 12: You know.

1682
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 4: So A and M has the advantage here, especially interior

1683
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 4: line play, right, They just have an advantage. Can they

1684
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 4: capitalize on that?

1685
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 3: Well? And here's the other thing too.

1686
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 2: If you're Notre Dame, it's good and bad, but you're

1687
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 2: normally you could never argue their schedule. They normally play

1688
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 2: a difficult, nasty schedule, but not this year. I mean,

1689
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 2: we talked about today, but then you got home Northern

1690
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 2: Illinois at Purdue home Miami, Ohio home Louisville home, Stanford

1691
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 2: at Georgia Tech, at Navy home, Florida State home, Virginia

1692
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 2: home Army.

1693
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 3: And then at USC.

1694
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if they win TODA, if they somehow beat

1695
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 2: A and M, they go un defeat.

1696
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 4: It, that's you're so right, you're absolutely I mean, even

1697
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 4: if they lose to A and M, they they're one

1698
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 4: lost team promised right college football playoff right, like? But yeah, yeah,

1699
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 4: if they beat eight A and M, you know, at

1700
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 4: College Station, the playoff committee, I can already hear us

1701
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 4: in November asking well, what are we doing about the schedule,

1702
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 4: and they're going to say, well, look back at that

1703
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 4: Week one matchup. You know, they they scheduled, you know,

1704
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 4: a true road game at College Station and they went

1705
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,719
Speaker 4: in and won. Like I can hear the committee telling

1706
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 4: us that over and over and over again already in

1707
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:53,640
Speaker 4: my mind. You know, so you're you're a thousand percent right.

1708
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 4: The way the rest of the schedule shakes out, it

1709
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 4: certainly leaves nothing but opportunity, you know, for for no

1710
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 4: named to make the college football playoff.

1711
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 2: So also tonight now they're not there's no other big

1712
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 2: games that we talked about, but Alabama has Western Kentucky, right,

1713
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 2: that's their appetizer. They got South Floyd in next week

1714
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:21,600
Speaker 2: and then they get tested where they go to Wisconsin

1715
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:26,440
Speaker 2: and then of course the big game is September twenty eighth,

1716
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 2: and that's home against Georgia. So that's kind of where Alabama.

1717
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,480
Speaker 2: What's your outlook on Alabama?

1718
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, like, so I've gone on record multiple

1719
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 4: times saying that I think Alabama's in a bit of

1720
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,680
Speaker 4: a transition year. I'll go back to culture, you know,

1721
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 4: and it's just so different. Kaylen de bor is going

1722
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 4: everything about this is going to look different. And I

1723
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 4: think Kaitlin's a really good coach. Obviously the rating coach

1724
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 4: of the year, of course, he's a really good coach.

1725
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 4: But you know, there's an element for me of let's

1726
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 4: look at everything that had to come together last year

1727
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 4: Washington for things to go the way they did. They

1728
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:03,600
Speaker 4: had a a senior quarterback that somebody that you know

1729
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 4: is like eight hundred and thirty two years old that

1730
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 4: played a lot of college football that had familiarity with

1731
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 4: his system. In Michael Pennock junior at Washington, they had

1732
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:12,760
Speaker 4: wide receivers that have been there a minute, that had

1733
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 4: familiarity with what he was trying to execute. You know,

1734
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 4: I think a lot of things came together. And this

1735
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 4: doesn't take anything away from it. It's just sometimes you

1736
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 4: get the right combination of things at the right time

1737
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 4: and it helps you win a bunch of football games.

1738
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:28,680
Speaker 4: So I think Calein Devor is a very capable coach. Obviously,

1739
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 4: I just think we're under selling the adjustment for everybody,

1740
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 4: not even just the adjustment and play calling, but also

1741
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 4: you know, I talked to coach last year at the

1742
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 4: National Championship Game about the fact that his players were

1743
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 4: all raving that he never yells, he never raises his voice,

1744
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:45,639
Speaker 4: and he said, you know, that's not true. He raises

1745
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 4: his voice sometimes, but he tries to hold emotion in

1746
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 4: so that he can preach to his players to control

1747
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 4: their emotions during a game. That's so different than Saban

1748
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 4: It's like, yes, I know some people will click in that,

1749
01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 4: but it's just it's so wildly different. Alabama's lost a

1750
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 4: lot of pieces. I think there are three lost football

1751
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 4: team this year, four lost football team this year. And

1752
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean the sky's falling. But that's how Bama

1753
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 4: fans are gonna see it. I just they're not in

1754
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 4: the same tier as Georgia or Ohio State or Oregon

1755
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 4: to me, like they're They're in a much different tier

1756
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 4: than them.

1757
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I do think it's funny. I mean we're

1758
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 2: under selling Saban. We are. It's like, okay, well both

1759
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:39,600
Speaker 2: he and Harball leave. There has to be huge transition

1760
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 2: in both those programs. Like I get, you got good

1761
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 2: coaches coming back and you know, I mean replacing them,

1762
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 2: but they're not Saban and Harball.

1763
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 4: God, and when you combine the two of them together,

1764
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 4: think about how differently we are covering Michigan right now,

1765
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:00,680
Speaker 4: the defending national champion, than we are Alabama right Like

1766
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 4: we are sitting here saying, well, Michigan clearly in a

1767
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:06,639
Speaker 4: period of transition. You know, let's see what more looks

1768
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 4: like long term is a head coach. We're saying all

1769
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 4: of these things, We're not saying any of that about Alabama.

1770
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 4: And I think the while Alabama fans hear this and

1771
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 4: all they think is that I'm hating Onbama. It's actually

1772
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,640
Speaker 4: quite the opposite. I think it's pretty fair reasonable to

1773
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,680
Speaker 4: have expectations of, like, hey, let's see what this is

1774
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 4: going to look like this year, and then see how

1775
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 4: it builds next year, you know what I mean, that's

1776
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 4: just I think that's I'm not trying to downplay Bama.

1777
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 4: I'm trying to be more realistic so that everybody has

1778
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:35,720
Speaker 4: sort of the sights on what the short term, long

1779
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 4: term goals are for the program.

1780
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 2: But how much how much is the quarterback? You know,

1781
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 2: how much you think? You know that comes into play

1782
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 2: because I love Melray.

1783
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:52,759
Speaker 4: Jalen is so good. Yeah, he's so he's he is great,

1784
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:53,679
Speaker 4: he is.

1785
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, you got you got Mikey Keen

1786
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 2: versus you know, I mean think about that. I mean,

1787
01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 2: you know Orgy, right, you got uh, well, David Warren,

1788
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I guess you're gonna go Orgy.

1789
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I mean that you've got

1790
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 2: Milroe coming back. I mean, I think that's why we

1791
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 2: look at Alabaman go all right, well they got a quarterback.

1792
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 4: That's a really fair point because you're one hundred percent right.

1793
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 4: They The quarterback difference is substantial for those programs, you know,

1794
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 4: And that's absolutely If you have a quarterback, you can

1795
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 4: win in college football. If you don't, you can't. Like

1796
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 4: it's that simple, you know. So you're right about that.

1797
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 4: Jalen Milroe is not just good. Jalen Milroe is great

1798
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 4: and there's no.

1799
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And how about I mean to see what.

1800
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see what de bor does with him too,

1801
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 4: because like Michael Pennick Junior got the best of him, uh,

1802
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 4: you know, And and what what will Jalen Milroe look

1803
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:57,679
Speaker 4: like with Kaitlyn de borr out there calling that offense

1804
01:31:57,720 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 4: and letting him do what he can do, and let

1805
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 4: what letting him do what he can do with his feet? Also,

1806
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 4: it's amazing.

1807
01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 3: What do you think Dylan Gabriel is going to be?

1808
01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 12: Like?

1809
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:13,519
Speaker 4: Look, my early pick, way too early prediction is I'm

1810
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 4: taking Oregon to win the National Championship Game this year,

1811
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 4: which means Dylan Gabriel wins the Heisman, because that's just

1812
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 4: the way it works. I think Dylan Gabriel has played

1813
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 4: really good football several times in his career, and now

1814
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,080
Speaker 4: he's in a situation where he has a ton of talent,

1815
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:27,880
Speaker 4: a ton of speed with him, and this is the

1816
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 4: thing that this is the hill I'll die on this

1817
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:33,479
Speaker 4: year in college football, I trust for one game, if

1818
01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 4: I have a choice between a quarterback that's eight months

1819
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 4: removed from a proposal or a quarterback that's been in

1820
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 4: college football for six years that's seen everything you could

1821
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,679
Speaker 4: possibly imagine, like some of these guys have, I will

1822
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:48,000
Speaker 4: always take experience. So I really like experience and experiences

1823
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:50,639
Speaker 4: systems for one playoff game. I don't think Oregon even

1824
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 4: has to win the Big Ten to turn around to

1825
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 4: win the national championship game. Because in a one game playoff,

1826
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 4: if I can have Dylan Gabriel that's seen some things

1827
01:32:57,600 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 4: and it is closer to being a grown ass man

1828
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 4: than he is a kid, I like that at the

1829
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,599
Speaker 4: quarterback position. Frankly, as much as I don't trust Lane

1830
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 4: Kiffin the head coach, I do trust Lane kiffn with

1831
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart like those two know each other like the

1832
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 4: back of their hands. For a playoff game, I like

1833
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 4: that a lot, you know, So I like guys that

1834
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:14,759
Speaker 4: have been in systems, that have been around college football

1835
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 4: for a minute, that know what they're looking for that

1836
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 4: have seen things that aren't as easily rattled. So I

1837
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 4: think Dylan Gabriel is going to have a special year

1838
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:21,800
Speaker 4: this year.

1839
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:28,280
Speaker 2: I mean that offense could be ridiculous. I mean absolutely ridiculous. Yeah,

1840
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 2: you know it's interesting. I brought this up earlier, but

1841
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 2: we never really got to the Lane Kiffin thing. And

1842
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 2: I maybe I like him more than you do. I

1843
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,040
Speaker 2: like I think he could make I think he could

1844
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 2: make it work. I think he's a brilliant mind.

1845
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 4: I think he's a great offensive mind. I'm not sure

1846
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 4: he's a great head coach sometimes, yeah, but I do

1847
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,720
Speaker 4: in a one game, playoff sample where I need a

1848
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 4: coach to come up with a quick offensive game plan

1849
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 4: that can beat somebody, I think Lane Kiffin is capable

1850
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 4: of doing that for sure. How many coaches right now?

1851
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 4: You know? You think about that in the NFL all

1852
01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:09,640
Speaker 4: the time. And we talk about Andy Reid on this

1853
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 4: show all the time. But think about and Andy's record

1854
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 4: off of a bye week for a record for a reason,

1855
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 4: right Like he goes out and you give Andy Reid

1856
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 4: a little extra time, he will beat you. I think

1857
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:21,920
Speaker 4: Lane kiffn is the type that you give him a

1858
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 4: couple of days to come up with an offensive game plan.

1859
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,160
Speaker 4: He will find a way to beat you offensively.

1860
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, see, I do too.

1861
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:33,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I hear it's a fair point about you know,

1862
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 2: what kind of CEO is he? But I think he's

1863
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:43,559
Speaker 2: gotten better. He's certainly gotten better than he was. How

1864
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 2: much was the Raider thing still in your mind?

1865
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 4: I think the like, honestly, there's you mentioned he's gotten better.

1866
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 4: I have to I have to tell people all the time.

1867
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:56,759
Speaker 4: He's forty nine, right, like he's he's not even fifty

1868
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 4: years old. Lane Kiffin has been a coach so long

1869
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 4: for us, we feel like he's this old guy on

1870
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:03,840
Speaker 4: the block. Of course he's getting better. Like I think

1871
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:06,120
Speaker 4: he got put in a situation with the Raiders that

1872
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 4: he just wasn't ready for. He didn't have the life experience,

1873
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 4: he wasn't ready to be a head coach, you know.

1874
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 4: And I'm not going to fault somebody that it's not

1875
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 4: his fault that he was hired for a job he

1876
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 4: wasn't ready for, you know, And that's just that's just real,

1877
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 4: you know. So I look at Lane now, the way

1878
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 4: he handled Tennessee and then the way he was at USC,

1879
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:25,879
Speaker 4: those are things that I look at and say, Okay,

1880
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 4: you got in your own way, sir, like you you

1881
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,840
Speaker 4: did the wrong thing, the wrong way, and you did

1882
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 4: it multiple times. There are there are enough pieces there

1883
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 4: that you can look at and say, hey, he made

1884
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 4: his own demise. But at ole Miss, I think you

1885
01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 4: started to see kind of the best of Hulane Kivin

1886
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 4: can be and the best of who Lane is is

1887
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 4: a really good football coach.

1888
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:51,519
Speaker 2: I know, like he's got like he's got XMO down right,

1889
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,200
Speaker 2: Like he is shy in hand when.

1890
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 3: It comes to that. That's why.

1891
01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:58,760
Speaker 2: That's why I look at them and I go, you know,

1892
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 2: they got so much talent, you know.

1893
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:05,040
Speaker 3: And I hear you on the dream.

1894
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:08,439
Speaker 2: Team thing, and it's the worst thing you could do

1895
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:13,479
Speaker 2: is go all right, buy in to dream team and

1896
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,640
Speaker 2: the X and O coach. Maybe not the you know,

1897
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 2: spiritual coach, because when you have a bunch of new guys,

1898
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 2: you need more of the spiritual CEO than you do

1899
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 2: the X and OH. But it's gonna be interesting to

1900
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 2: see how that kind of plays out.

1901
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1902
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 2: I'm in laying Kiffin fan. I just I love his brain,

1903
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 2: so I'm kind of rooting for him.

1904
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:36,800
Speaker 4: And I also think, by the way, you're gonna have

1905
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:38,640
Speaker 4: all the talent in the world, you got to have

1906
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 4: a coach that knows how to bring the most out

1907
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 4: of that.

1908
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 3: You're right.

1909
01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:43,080
Speaker 4: Part of that to CEO element. Part of it is

1910
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 4: also just I do believe that you give laying great

1911
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 4: pieces to coach with, He's gonna find a way to

1912
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 4: get those great pieces of the ball. He's gonna find

1913
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 4: a way to get guys like there's inventiveness in the offense.

1914
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 4: There's motion in the offense that you don't see everywhere else.

1915
01:36:56,920 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 4: There's just there's a calculated effort to the way he

1916
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 4: gets people the ball that you don't always see. So

1917
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 4: you know, I trust that portion of it a lot.

1918
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:09,040
Speaker 2: So let's look at them for one second. All right,

1919
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 2: let's look at so their schedule. I'm just gonna pull

1920
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 2: it up right now because I'm curious to see what

1921
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 2: it looks like. Obviously, today you got Furman, so you

1922
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:27,439
Speaker 2: get your layup, and then you got where we're at,

1923
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 2: Middle Tennessee State, at wake Forest Home, Georgia, Southern Home, Kentucky.

1924
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 2: By the way, give our man Southside Chuck a big yo,

1925
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:45,560
Speaker 2: because he's a big Kentucky wildcare for him at South Carolina,

1926
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:50,599
Speaker 2: and then you got to go to October twelfth before

1927
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 2: you have a real tester, and that's at LSU under

1928
01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:59,720
Speaker 2: the lights in Baton Rouge. Then you got home Oklahoma,

1929
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 2: back to back at Arkansas, no gimme, and then that

1930
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:11,799
Speaker 2: leads into Home Georgia. So that's a treacherous four games

1931
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:18,040
Speaker 2: at LSU Home Oklahoma at Arkansas Home Georgia.

1932
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 4: The funny thing is that that's gonna give them the

1933
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 4: grace from the committee. I think even if they go

1934
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 4: two and two through that process. If Ole Miss, yeah,

1935
01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 4: loses a couple of games, but it's during that four

1936
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 4: game stretch they're gonna get grace from the committee. They'll

1937
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 4: still make it as a wildcard. And that's that's where

1938
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,320
Speaker 4: all of this comes from. Like my Yahoo, I think

1939
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for pure chaos this year. So when we

1940
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:44,640
Speaker 4: were asked to do our predictions for the National Championship

1941
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:47,559
Speaker 4: Game and everybody else went chalk with Ohio State Georgia

1942
01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 4: sort of thing, I looked at it and said, Nope,

1943
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 4: I want absolute chaos. I believe we're gonna have it.

1944
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 4: So I took Oregon Ole Miss as my National Championship game,

1945
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 4: Oregon wins and for me, offense wins right now. And

1946
01:38:57,720 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 4: you know I want signal callers that know their co

1947
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,600
Speaker 4: which to another system and no college football. So you

1948
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 4: know that was my logic behind it. A little bit

1949
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:06,160
Speaker 4: of a hot take, I get it, but you know

1950
01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 4: I can't. I have a hard time sitting here saying

1951
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 4: it's gonna be unprecedented chaos at college football and Georgia's

1952
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 4: gonna beat Ohio State for the championship. You know they

1953
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 4: can't have it both ways.

1954
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 3: You love the chaos, It's hysterical, I do, man.

1955
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 4: I just want people to yell and scream.

1956
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 3: Why why do you prefigure? Yeah?

1957
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:26,599
Speaker 4: I love I love raw emotion, right, and when things

1958
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:28,560
Speaker 4: are good, if everybody out there that we think is

1959
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:31,439
Speaker 4: going to be good it's just good, then people get bored, right.

1960
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:34,000
Speaker 4: I Like when I go to concerts, I want either

1961
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:36,679
Speaker 4: somebody that's gonna make me cry or somebody that's gonna

1962
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:38,680
Speaker 4: make me jump up and down the entire time. Like

1963
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 4: that's what I love the feeling of raw emotion. And

1964
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:44,880
Speaker 4: to me, there's nothing better than a Hail Mary that

1965
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,599
Speaker 4: gets completed and you're in a sports bar and you

1966
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 4: watch one half of the room absolutely losing their mind.

1967
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 4: In the other half of the room, the room absolutely

1968
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 4: in tears, ordering beers like that's I love that level

1969
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 4: of oh my god. And the only way we get

1970
01:39:58,120 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 4: that in college football is if we get on pre

1971
01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 4: If we end up with the twelve team playoff that

1972
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 4: gives us the same final four as always, that will

1973
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 4: be an epic fail for the sport this year.

1974
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

1975
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean the fact that you're going to

1976
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 2: play these games, the fact that there is an actual playoff.

1977
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 2: I don't think it could be any I don't think

1978
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 2: you can fail. I hear, you may not be sexy.

1979
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:26,280
Speaker 2: But the fact that they'll have earned it, Like if

1980
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 2: it winds up being Georgia, Ohive State, so be it.

1981
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 3: They'll have earned it. They'll have gone through the gauntlet.

1982
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,200
Speaker 4: Now that that is very fair. I just cant hardy

1983
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:39,200
Speaker 4: to hear people, you know, crying about the fact that, well,

1984
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 4: this is what makes Collage football boo, you know what

1985
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 4: I mean? Like, I just I don't want that, yeah,

1986
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 4: of the society that wanted the Giants to beat an

1987
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:51,559
Speaker 4: undefeated Patriots team, because we just don't like anything that's

1988
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 4: sustainably great. I don't know why, but you know that's

1989
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 4: just real. So you know sustainably great is not sexy.

1990
01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you know. I I I lament that.

1991
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 2: I also lament the fact that I don't know how

1992
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:10,280
Speaker 2: you're not if people profess like I. I work with

1993
01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:17,640
Speaker 2: people that are huge NFL fans, huge and are like

1994
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:22,559
Speaker 2: against not against it, but disinterested in college football.

1995
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 4: I don't know a ton of people like I don't.

1996
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 4: I don't give a ton of people that don't like

1997
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 4: college football like that love the end. I know people

1998
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 4: that cover the draft that are like, I just don't

1999
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,599
Speaker 4: really like college football. I'm like, you realize you made

2000
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 4: your job so much tougher. One of the reasons I

2001
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 4: love covering the draft is all I have to do

2002
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 4: is observe all fall, and I'll be ready for April.

2003
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:44,479
Speaker 2: Dude, I just to bring it up to you. I

2004
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 2: got a guy same thing. He's like, he loves the draft,

2005
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:51,280
Speaker 2: but he doesn't watch college football because I prepare for

2006
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:55,080
Speaker 2: the draft after the season. Well, I go, you can

2007
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 2: watch what to take Me Want. But there's something about

2008
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:03,639
Speaker 2: watching somebody live and see the instinct and then following

2009
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 2: them that is.

2010
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 4: Real you're a thousand percent right about that.

2011
01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 3: I mean I just as an evaluator.

2012
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 12: You know.

2013
01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:16,120
Speaker 2: It's why you have couent college scouts. They're not waiting

2014
01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 2: until January. They all got the tape. You get every

2015
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 2: tape you want, but you gotta go see players. You

2016
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:22,840
Speaker 2: gotta let you gotta let it wash over you. You gotta

2017
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 2: follow along and have context, right because it's not just

2018
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:31,639
Speaker 2: about you know they're forty times and how many times

2019
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 2: they can press to twenty five. You got to see

2052
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,760
Speaker 4: think about that, Like it didn't occur to men till

2053
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 4: you just said it's Labor Day. It's like, oh, it's

2054
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 4: a holiday weekend, let's go.

2055
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Labor Day.

2056
01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:07,360
Speaker 2: Labor Day is one of those, uh, you know, least

2057
01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:12,200
Speaker 2: celebrated days holidays if you had yeah, like if you

2058
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 2: be could Memorial Day are veterans right? You know you

2059
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 2: got a fourth July obviously. The Labor Day is kind

2060
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:28,040
Speaker 2: of unceremonial. Unceremonious is the word, right, Like there's no fanfare.

2061
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 2: It's like back to school now for us. We love

2062
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:34,920
Speaker 2: it because it's football. I love Labor Day because it

2063
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:37,360
Speaker 2: enters my favorite time of the year. But most it's

2064
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 2: the end of summer, so most people hate Labor Day.

2065
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 4: It also feels like it's just sort of it's a

2066
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 4: three day weekend. But I don't know. For a lot

2067
01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 4: of places, school started a few weeks ago, you know,

2068
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 4: so like, is it great to get a holiday right

2069
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:51,400
Speaker 4: after school started, Like you're just trying to get in

2070
01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 4: a routine. I don't know, it's just it. You're right,

2071
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 4: it definitely hits different. I don't think people I don't.

2072
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 4: I don't think people necessarily look forward to it the

2073
01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,559
Speaker 4: same way. When I was a kid, school always started

2074
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 4: the day after Labor Day, so it was sort of

2075
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 4: your last day to get ready for everything. But now

2076
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 4: you know, now in the modern times, as you know,

2077
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:10,479
Speaker 4: as a dad, like school for a lot of plays.

2078
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:13,960
Speaker 4: I mean Nashville school started back in August or early

2079
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 4: August everywhere, So you know, it's it's just I wonder

2080
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 4: it just does it doesn't It doesn't hit some way.

2081
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 2: You're right about that, Well, you started early August in Nashville.

2082
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 4: They started early August. Yeah, that's into school. They're already

2083
01:45:28,240 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 4: a month into school.

2084
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:31,040
Speaker 3: Man, that's horrible.

2085
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 4: Things I don't even have to worry about since I

2086
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 4: don't have kids, but yes, it is.

2087
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 3: It is.

2088
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 4: It's kind of wild. My friends that have kids are

2089
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 4: you know, they've been theah kids went back to school

2090
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:42,439
Speaker 4: like the first week in August.

2091
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:47,640
Speaker 2: Maybe that Wow, dude, that's it. That's a violation.

2092
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:48,080
Speaker 3: Man.

2093
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:53,200
Speaker 2: First of all, kids should be off Labor Day, Memorial

2094
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:56,759
Speaker 2: Day to Labor Day. That's it. That's their summer vacation.

2095
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,280
Speaker 2: That's what it should be. Why do you start in

2096
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:02,000
Speaker 2: school in August. That's terrible.

2097
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:07,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, summer summer vacation just doesn't have the same doesn't

2098
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:10,040
Speaker 4: have the same emphasis that you too. It is. It

2099
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:12,040
Speaker 4: feels weird to me, and you know this, but we've

2100
01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:14,880
Speaker 4: talked about this. Like, kids now are still programmed most

2101
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:16,360
Speaker 4: of the time. I don't know. When I was a kid,

2102
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 4: summer vacation for most people, I was still practicing on

2103
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 4: violin eight hours a day because that was life. But like,

2104
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:24,519
Speaker 4: but like for the most part, everybody, you know, just

2105
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 4: hanging out. You're just having a fun summer. And now

2106
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 4: it's like, nope, you got this camp and then this camp,

2107
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:29,760
Speaker 4: and then the kids go over to this and then

2108
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:31,479
Speaker 4: we got to go to do this and it's like, yeah,

2109
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:33,960
Speaker 4: my friends and their parents are exhausted by.

2110
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 12: The end of it.

2111
01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:37,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, like those days like when we were growing up

2112
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:40,120
Speaker 2: where you basically were roamed free.

2113
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 3: You're basically roamed right like when you were a kid.

2114
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 2: We were kids, we would just disappear all day and

2115
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, we just we find all the kids

2116
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:56,800
Speaker 2: play ball, you know, roam around, you know, I mean

2117
01:46:56,840 --> 01:47:00,599
Speaker 2: that's what it was, but now structured.

2118
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:04,680
Speaker 4: Remember like street lights on Like for so many of

2119
01:47:04,720 --> 01:47:06,360
Speaker 4: us when we were kids, it's like you could be

2120
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 4: outside until the street lights come on, and once the

2121
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,320

2133
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:43,680
Speaker 4: when you checked in, when you got to your friend's house.

2134
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:46,680
Speaker 4: Sometimes sometimes you didn't. My God, like you just you

2135
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:49,640
Speaker 4: know now now like parents check locations everywhere they go,

2136
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:51,960
Speaker 4: and it's it's too much different. It's just the whole

2137
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:52,719
Speaker 4: vibe is different.

2138
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, different vibe is right, different vibes right, all right, Uh,

2139
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 2: let's uh, let's take a look at the NFL a

2140
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:04,640
Speaker 2: little bit, all right, because we got the big we

2141
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:06,160
Speaker 2: got a huge late.

2142
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:11,360
Speaker 3: First of all, what do you think of Saturday?

2143
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:15,120
Speaker 2: Saturday? What do you think of Thursday? Chiefs ravens Now

2144
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 2: you think? Where are you staying at? With Baltimore?

2145
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 4: I think Baltimore offensively is going to be one of

2146
01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:25,519
Speaker 4: the most interesting teams to watch earlier in the year

2147
01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:28,320
Speaker 4: because Derrick Henry and I interviewed him a couple of

2148
01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:30,799
Speaker 4: days ago, talked to him about this. But Derek Henry

2149
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:33,000
Speaker 4: has had to be the face of the identity, of

2150
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:37,080
Speaker 4: the everything for a football team for his entire career,

2151
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 4: and now he doesn't have to be any of those things.

2152
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 4: And he still has plenty of gas left in the tank.

2153
01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 4: For anyone that says, well, eventually he's going to hit

2154
01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:47,000
Speaker 4: the wall. I don't know, man, Like I just I've

2155
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 4: seen Derek Henry up close and personal. I've been to

2156
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,120
Speaker 4: practices that he's been a part of with the Titans.

2157
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 4: I have a hard time thinking that there's a big

2158
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:55,920
Speaker 4: wall about to hit, and we know Baltimore commits to

2159
01:48:55,960 --> 01:48:58,240
Speaker 4: the run, and now they have a bona fide superstar

2160
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:00,320
Speaker 4: that they can commit to the run too, which is

2161
01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:02,840
Speaker 4: going to create so much opportunity for a guy like

2162
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:04,559
Speaker 4: Jay Flowers. I've taken Zay in a bunch of my

2163
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:08,559
Speaker 4: fantasy football league because I think that there's just real

2164
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:10,600
Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna stack the box because they have to, and

2165
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 4: Nowaday's gonna get big chunk yardage. And by the way,

2166
01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:15,800
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna see Lamar run the ball more

2167
01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 4: too out of all this, because it's just gonna be

2168
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:20,439
Speaker 4: hard to figure out who to stop. So offensively, they

2169
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:23,680
Speaker 4: get really interesting. Defensively, there's a lot of change, the

2170
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:27,000
Speaker 4: new defensive coordinator. All of that makes me really nervous,

2171
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:29,639
Speaker 4: But I feel like this Ravens team is more capable

2172
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:32,080
Speaker 4: than any we've seen in the last several years of

2173
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:33,920
Speaker 4: scoring in the upper twenties. If they have to to

2174
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:36,720
Speaker 4: consistently win football games. While they get the defensive side

2175
01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:39,640
Speaker 4: of the ball figured out under their new system. So

2176
01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:43,120
Speaker 4: I love Baltimore this year as a sneaky top seed

2177
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:45,799
Speaker 4: contender in the AFC. I think the demise of Baltimore

2178
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:46,799
Speaker 4: is being over reported.

2179
01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:49,439
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you one thing. Thursday night.

2180
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:55,640
Speaker 2: Whenever you do Thursday Night, and you know it's the

2181
01:49:55,840 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 2: it's not exactly a novel thing at the over.

2182
01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:06,719
Speaker 3: Forty six and a half. That's too low. It's too low.

2183
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:11,639
Speaker 2: I know early season the whole thing that that that's

2184
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:17,040
Speaker 2: a that's a fifty five piece right there.

2185
01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:20,000
Speaker 3: They're they're both both teams are going to score big time.

2186
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:22,880
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, do you have any like

2187
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:27,720
Speaker 4: weird NFL opening season traditions, any any anything that you

2188
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 4: always do, Like what's Thursday night look like in the

2189
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:30,799
Speaker 4: Gargatta household?

2190
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:37,680
Speaker 2: See, this year is different because the Eagles play on Friday.

2191
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:41,600
Speaker 2: So since that's my squad, we have a get to

2192
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:45,400
Speaker 2: I have a get together my cousins, so big games,

2193
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:50,800
Speaker 2: I always go over my cousins and so Friday night, well,

2194
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 2: well we have a big party Friday night at his house.

2195
01:50:56,320 --> 01:51:00,479
Speaker 2: So Thursday night will just be me and if I

2196
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 2: can wrangle with my kids like they're just starting to

2197
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:07,680
Speaker 2: kind of watch. I don't have to bribe them as

2198
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:11,800
Speaker 2: much with food. So even though they play, I'm like,

2199
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:15,720
Speaker 2: listen to me, like I beg them listen to me.

2200
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 2: You guys both play. To really understand the game, you've

2201
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:23,479
Speaker 2: got to watch the game in addition to playing it

2202
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 2: and learning it. By watching it, you'll learn the game

2203
01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 2: nuanced stuff like that. But you know, speaking of the difference,

2204
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 2: they just don't have the patience to watch games the

2205
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:42,240
Speaker 2: way we watch games.

2206
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 4: No, you're right, but you're also right that it's a

2207
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:48,920
Speaker 4: necessary evil. Like that's one thing that you know, like

2208
01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:50,640
Speaker 4: you can't if you want to be a musician, you

2209
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:52,519
Speaker 4: gotta watch concerts. You got to listen to other people.

2210
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:54,840
Speaker 4: You know, it's just part of what has to happen.

2211
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 4: You're a thousand percent right. So I haven't done this

2212
01:51:57,200 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 4: in a few years. But my favorite tradition I ever

2213
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:03,559
Speaker 4: had on the open weekend of NFL season, especially for

2214
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,280
Speaker 4: the opening Sunday, is I would invite all my friends

2215
01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:08,519
Speaker 4: to come over. But the only rule was you had

2216
01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:11,759
Speaker 4: to bring something to eat that you literally got shipped

2217
01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:14,120
Speaker 4: from a place you've been or a place you've lived.

2218
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:17,559
Speaker 4: So like waw like really like yeah, that way we

2219
01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 4: had like a smorgasbord of food from everywhere else and

2220
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 4: so like last year in Nashville that we did it,

2221
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 4: one of my buddies had like pizza from Chicago that

2222
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:29,439
Speaker 4: he got shipped in. One body got like wings from

2223
01:52:29,439 --> 01:52:33,080
Speaker 4: Anchor Bar. Somebody had like crab stuff from Maryland, and

2224
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 4: like so like everybody by. It wasn't just like make it.

2225
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 4: It was like find a famous place and you gotta

2226
01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 4: you gotta get it, you gotta get Somebody had Greater's

2227
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:45,240
Speaker 4: ice cream from Cincinnati for dessert. Like I always liked

2228
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 4: that because it's just a way of doing it, like

2229
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 4: and then it created the sort of a story around

2230
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 4: it because you know you're a big like my buddy

2231
01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:53,600
Speaker 4: that's a big Bills fan got into the debate of

2232
01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:55,640
Speaker 4: like these are actually the best wings and like all

2233
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 4: that's like I like doing different stuff like that around

2234
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,559
Speaker 4: food with the games because I think we all will.

2235
01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 2: Tell you the accurate bar anonymous, Yeah, like the accurate bar.

2236
01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:06,960
Speaker 3: Not how are you gonna handle this year?

2237
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:08,400
Speaker 4: Uh?

2238
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:09,000
Speaker 12: This year?

2239
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 4: Now? This year more low key, like now you know,

2240
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:15,439
Speaker 4: I'm hosting the Fantasy Football show right before kickoff for Yahoo,

2241
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 4: and then I have to do a Sunday night show.

2242
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 4: So this year, I'm just gonna find a local bar

2243
01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 4: and we're all gonna get together and you know, have

2244
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:24,519
Speaker 4: a toast as the as soon as I can get

2245
01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:26,640
Speaker 4: there afterwards. You know, that's the you know, that's the

2246
01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 4: best way.

2247
01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:27,960
Speaker 3: So your fantasy.

2248
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:32,799
Speaker 4: On Thursdays, I'm doing both Thursday and Sunday for Yahoo.

2249
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:35,000
Speaker 4: We have a thirty minute Thursday show and a one

2250
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:37,559
Speaker 4: hour Sunday show for y'all Who's Sports.

01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:42,360

01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,920
Speaker 4: It's mostly Thursday. It's mostly looking ahead to Thursday night

2254
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:49,679
Speaker 4: and then some big sweeping stories for Sunday and then Sunday.

2255
01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:51,640
Speaker 4: You know, we have three experts on that are just

2256
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,040
Speaker 4: really gonna be like I'm just steering the ship. I'm

2257
01:53:54,040 --> 01:53:57,559
Speaker 4: just running point guard and letting them be brilliant and

2258
01:53:57,600 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 4: they'll they'll break all the action down. But it's from

2259
01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:02,240
Speaker 4: twelve to one Eastern, so it ends right as so

2260
01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:04,280
Speaker 4: like if the Raiders are playing at one, I'll just

2261
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 4: walk downstairs and like you know, immediately get into game action.

2262
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:10,400
Speaker 4: But for this particular, for the first Sunday coming up,

01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:24,200
Speaker 2: go throw it. We'll break it up in the conference

2286
01:55:24,280 --> 01:55:27,640
Speaker 2: and start at FC. Give me some of the guys

2287
01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:30,360
Speaker 2: that you are looking at that you like.

2288
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:33,680
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a big top secret to this.

2289
01:55:33,720 --> 01:55:36,320
Speaker 4: The one thing I would say coming into this season

2290
01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 4: is that I think the running back position is a

2291
01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:41,320
Speaker 4: lot harder, like I mentioned earlier, like in Jay Flowers,

2292
01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:43,480
Speaker 4: in part because of Derrick Henry. I think the running

2293
01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:46,760
Speaker 4: back position is a lot harder for everybody to wrap

2294
01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:49,840
Speaker 4: their head around this year. And so for that reason,

2295
01:55:49,880 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 4: the one thing that has hit me in all the

2296
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 4: drafts is like, there's only a handful of guys that

2297
01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:56,480
Speaker 4: are true difference makers. Right, So if you've got one

2298
01:55:56,480 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 4: of those handful of guys that are true difference makers,

2299
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:00,600
Speaker 4: I draft them early. That's a thing I would say

2300
01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:03,160
Speaker 4: to everybody that stands out as like a general consensus.

2301
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:05,280
Speaker 4: I don't know that there's a sleeper that I could

2302
01:56:05,280 --> 01:56:07,560
Speaker 4: tell everybody that's better than somebody else in that but

2303
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:08,120
Speaker 4: what I.

2304
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:10,640
Speaker 3: Found out, But who do you like? Give me? Yeah,

2305
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:11,680
Speaker 3: I know I feel you.

2306
01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:16,880
Speaker 4: I mean, the the fantasy running backs in general, it's

2307
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:19,920
Speaker 4: all the same. Like I love Saquon, everybody loves Saquon, right,

2308
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:23,440
Speaker 4: you think about the position in general, the problem is

2309
01:56:23,720 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 4: there's only let's say five or six that are totally

2310
01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 4: worth it. And what I found is that people don't

2311
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:31,720
Speaker 4: want to draft, they don't want a draft running back

2312
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:34,839
Speaker 4: too early. You know. But obviously Christian McCaffrey, Breestat Bejhn

2313
01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 4: like those guys. But when you start to get into

2314
01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:39,640
Speaker 4: like Devon h Chan, I hear a lot of people say, well,

2315
01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 4: he's gonna be splitting carries with Raheem Moster, Okay, who

2316
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 4: cares like? He still put up epic yards last year,

2317
01:56:44,800 --> 01:56:47,000
Speaker 4: So I really like him, Eta and somebody that I

2318
01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:50,440
Speaker 4: really like. I mentioned earliers like Isaiah p Bajeco, somebody

2319
01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 4: I really like, like, look at the.

2320
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:57,040
Speaker 3: The only think about it. I was disappointed last year.

2321
01:56:56,880 --> 01:57:01,080
Speaker 4: With him, Yeah, I was too. I think I was

2322
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:03,520
Speaker 4: disappointed with the whole offense last year. I think that

2323
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:06,360
Speaker 4: was back a little bit this year. Yeah, one hundred percent.

2324
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:08,240
Speaker 4: I mean I was disappointed with Jonathan Taylor from part

2325
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:10,760
Speaker 4: of last year too. But you still still look around

2326
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 4: and think, man, you know, but what's funny to me

2327
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:16,000
Speaker 4: is that what I've seen is guys like Pachecko, nobody

2328
01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:18,280
Speaker 4: wants to draft him early because they have this mindset

2329
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 4: of got to take wide receiver, got to take wide receiver. Well,

2330
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:23,280
Speaker 4: there's a lot of depth wide receiver right, So like

2331
01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 4: to me, I'd rather even if it means I'm reaching

2332
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:28,600
Speaker 4: a little early to get Pachecko, but I made sure

2333
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:30,720
Speaker 4: I got a running back. I would do that ten

2334
01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:33,000
Speaker 4: times out of ten. So you know, that's the general.

2335
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:35,720
Speaker 4: Like Hiram Williams, somebody I like a lot for the rams.

2336
01:57:35,880 --> 01:57:38,280
Speaker 4: You know, it's just it's harder. There just aren't a

2337
01:57:38,280 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 4: lot of guys once you start to get into that.

2338
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:44,160
Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker, Josh Jacobs, Rashad White, like, a lot of

2339
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 4: those guys are kind of replaceable, you know. So yeah,

2340
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 4: it's just tougher to find people at the top level

2341
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:51,880
Speaker 4: of that. I do think Josh Jacobs has a chance

2342
01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 4: to do some nice things for Green Bay sticking into

2343
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:55,680
Speaker 4: the NFC, for sure, But I think a lot of

2344
01:57:55,680 --> 01:57:57,480
Speaker 4: those guys are just kind of replaceable.

2345
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 2: Is there any uh, maybe any guys on the quiet

2346
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:06,080
Speaker 2: side that you like at running back for late?

2347
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:08,920
Speaker 4: You know, I means one guy, I got one guy

2348
01:58:09,440 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 4: like and and just look, I'll go back to my

2349
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:14,480
Speaker 4: college experience on this sweet baby Ray like tell him

2350
01:58:14,520 --> 01:58:17,680
Speaker 4: Ray Davis out of Kentucky running back in Buffalo, Like

2351
01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:19,480
Speaker 4: early in the year, I don't think he's going to

2352
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 4: be significant, But late in the year, I think he is.

2353
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:25,200
Speaker 4: He's a lot more explosive to people give him credit for.

2354
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:27,840
Speaker 4: What I think is funny is that early in the year,

2355
01:58:28,160 --> 01:58:30,440
Speaker 4: like every running back, he's not getting it as much time.

2356
01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:33,080
Speaker 4: But this Buffalo offense is going to commit more to

2357
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:35,320
Speaker 4: running the football. They're going to commit more to play action,

2358
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 4: all of these things. So, like I just I could

2359
01:58:37,560 --> 01:58:39,200
Speaker 4: see by the end of the year, sweet baby Ray

2360
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:41,640
Speaker 4: coming out and having himself a nice little run right

2361
01:58:41,680 --> 01:58:42,720
Speaker 4: when you need him for the playoffs.

2362
01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 2: I agree, they're going to be ground and pounds. I

2363
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:49,400
Speaker 2: love it. I mean, and I love their office where

2364
01:58:49,440 --> 01:58:51,960
Speaker 2: it's going to look. It's it's gonna be just run run.

2365
01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:56,920
Speaker 2: Now did you see that poll espended the poll of

2366
01:58:57,080 --> 01:59:04,800
Speaker 2: players and the three most overrated quarterbacks. Josh Allen was

2367
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 2: number one all overrated.

2368
01:59:09,120 --> 01:59:11,360
Speaker 4: I don't buy that at all. And Josh Allen's still

2369
01:59:11,360 --> 01:59:14,640
Speaker 4: a great fantasy football pickup just because you know he's

2370
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:17,200
Speaker 4: gonna he's gonna get yards a bunch of ways. Right

2371
01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:21,440
Speaker 4: Like modern modern NFL and modern fantasy football, you want

2372
01:59:21,480 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 4: a guy that Kim Russell run for some run for

2373
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 4: some points too. So you know, for anyone that doesn't

2374
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 4: play a lot of fantasy as much as Dak might

2375
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:31,840
Speaker 4: put up MVP like numbers, Josh Allen's a better fantasy

2376
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:34,839
Speaker 4: football quarterback, right, So you know, it's just the basic

2377
01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:37,200
Speaker 4: sort of strategy there, says take Josh Allen. I think

2378
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:38,960
Speaker 4: Josh Allen's gonna have a big year this year. He's

2379
01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:41,360
Speaker 4: gonna have to have a big year. Otherwise everybody's getting

2380
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:42,320
Speaker 4: fired in Buffalo.

2381
01:59:42,880 --> 01:59:46,560
Speaker 2: I know, I know, but he's I mean, he's a great,

2382
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:51,400
Speaker 2: great player. Like I don't understand how you could be overrated.

2383
01:59:51,720 --> 01:59:54,240
Speaker 2: He said, whatever you want. I mean, all right, so

2384
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:59,000
Speaker 2: you have Mahomes. He fell to Mahomes twice, Like, give

2385
01:59:59,040 --> 02:00:02,000
Speaker 2: me a break. I don't I don't get that exactly.

2386
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:02,760
Speaker 3: Now.

2387
02:00:03,120 --> 02:00:09,480
Speaker 2: They did say Jalen Hurts and Tua were second and

2388
02:00:09,600 --> 02:00:13,840
Speaker 2: third most overrated according to the players.

2389
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:16,680
Speaker 4: Players don't really respect too a lot. I was surprised

2390
02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:19,560
Speaker 4: to see Jalen Hurts on that list, by the way.

2391
02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:22,320
Speaker 4: You know, and somebody that I know. We've talked a

2392
02:00:22,320 --> 02:00:24,040
Speaker 4: lot about the Eagles and some of the issues they

2393
02:00:24,040 --> 02:00:26,280
Speaker 4: could have this year, but man, you talk about just

2394
02:00:26,320 --> 02:00:27,960
Speaker 4: somebody that I think could have a big bounce back

2395
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:30,320
Speaker 4: here Jalen Hurts is that they're gonna have to figure

2396
02:00:30,320 --> 02:00:33,879
Speaker 4: out the brotherly shove thing like you know that extended

2397
02:00:33,880 --> 02:00:36,400
Speaker 4: a lot of drives with their ninety three percent conversion

2398
02:00:36,440 --> 02:00:38,200
Speaker 4: rate last year. They're gonna have to make sure they

2399
02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:40,200
Speaker 4: can still do that in this new offensive system. But

2400
02:00:40,240 --> 02:00:42,880
Speaker 4: I still I still really like Jalen Hurts, especially in fantasy.

2401
02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I mean fantasy. He'll be great.

2402
02:00:45,960 --> 02:00:48,520
Speaker 2: The whole thing is on his shoulders and it's gonna

2403
02:00:48,520 --> 02:00:51,080
Speaker 2: be one and it's gonna be one thing. Can he

2404
02:00:51,160 --> 02:00:53,640
Speaker 2: beat the pressure because teams will pressure him. Where the

2405
02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:54,800

Speaker 4: games that get everybody fired up and I can't stress

2436
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:58,480
Speaker 4: this enough. It's a reminder of how awesome college football

2437
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:00,520
Speaker 4: is going to be this year, but how awesome some

2438
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:03,440
Speaker 4: of these matchups just feel right like you just it

2439
02:03:03,640 --> 02:03:07,280
Speaker 4: feels different when you have these sort of cross conference

2440
02:03:07,560 --> 02:03:10,160
Speaker 4: everybody's battling each other, you know, just like at the

2441
02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:12,760
Speaker 4: beginning of college basketball. They do a beautiful job of

2442
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:15,600
Speaker 4: making sure that they get conference battles coming in. I

2443
02:03:15,640 --> 02:03:17,520
Speaker 4: love the fact that you get something like Notre Dame

2444
02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:19,160
Speaker 4: and A and M that you don't see Offen, or

2445
02:03:19,480 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 4: Georgia and Clemson that you don't see Offen or Penn

2446
02:03:21,800 --> 02:03:24,000
Speaker 4: State in West Virginia that you don't see often. Like,

2447
02:03:24,040 --> 02:03:27,600
Speaker 4: these things feel different, they hit different, they they resonate

2448
02:03:27,680 --> 02:03:31,320
Speaker 4: more because it's not just a standard cupcake matchup or

2449
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:33,240
Speaker 4: it's not just a standard game you see every year.

2450
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:34,840
Speaker 4: It's the sort of game that if you were sitting

2451
02:03:34,880 --> 02:03:36,840
Speaker 4: now with your buddies to play the college football video

2452
02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:39,400
Speaker 4: game and you're just playing one exhibition, I could see

2453
02:03:39,400 --> 02:03:41,560
Speaker 4: somebody being like, oh, let's do clems in Georgia, Like

2454
02:03:41,600 --> 02:03:45,040
Speaker 4: that's just yeah, that feels Georgia, yeah, one hundred percent.

2455
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:47,280
Speaker 4: And by the way, if you're playing that video game

2456
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:50,040
Speaker 4: with anybody that takes Georgia, just kindly tell them to

2457
02:03:50,120 --> 02:03:52,080
Speaker 4: leave your home, all right, because if you're so soft,

2458
02:03:52,080 --> 02:03:53,840
Speaker 4: you gotta play the video game is the best team.

2459
02:03:54,160 --> 02:03:57,080
Speaker 4: I have no respect for you, I know, I know,

2460
02:03:58,280 --> 02:03:59,080
Speaker 4: but take their snacks.

2461
02:03:59,080 --> 02:04:05,280
Speaker 2: Don't want monsters. And my moswell was Georgia. We played Georgia.

2462
02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:06,240
Speaker 2: We always did it.

2463
02:04:06,440 --> 02:04:08,400
Speaker 3: We all like were kicking him out of the house.

2464
02:04:08,880 --> 02:04:13,960
Speaker 2: I know he's always plays Georgia's.

2465
02:04:12,960 --> 02:04:18,320
Speaker 3: He's batter and he's always got to have the better team.

2466
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:20,840
Speaker 4: I was. I was playing against like, I'm very good

2467
02:04:20,840 --> 02:04:22,560
Speaker 4: at these games. I acquiesced that and I got a

2468
02:04:22,560 --> 02:04:24,400
Speaker 4: couple buddies that I've been playing with, a bunch that

2469
02:04:25,160 --> 02:04:27,760
Speaker 4: you know, are they're they're getting through the process right.

2470
02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:29,160
Speaker 4: And so a couple of weeks ago when it first

2471
02:04:29,240 --> 02:04:31,720
Speaker 4: came out, I was playing against my buddy Keene, and

2472
02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:34,120
Speaker 4: Keene was he was Ohio State. We were at the

2473
02:04:34,160 --> 02:04:37,360
Speaker 4: Big House and I took Connecticut and uh, I've never

2474
02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 4: seen like I've just never said, I mean it was.

2475
02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:42,080
Speaker 4: That was a tough matchup. I'm not gonna lie because

2476
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:46,120
Speaker 4: I'm Connecticut at Yukon and he's he's Ohio State, and

2477
02:04:46,160 --> 02:04:48,440
Speaker 4: I beat him with the wildest Hail Mary's type play

2478
02:04:48,480 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 4: you've ever seen with nine seconds left to beat him

2479
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:52,320
Speaker 4: at the Big House. And I still give him grief

2480
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:54,440
Speaker 4: every time, every time he plays the game, I still

2481
02:04:54,480 --> 02:04:57,240
Speaker 4: give him grief about the heartbreaking way that I beat him.

2482
02:04:57,240 --> 02:04:58,040
Speaker 4: As Yukon see that.

2483
02:04:58,160 --> 02:04:58,800
Speaker 3: That's why.

2484
02:04:58,960 --> 02:05:02,160
Speaker 4: That's the Oh, it was just meant to be. It

2485
02:05:02,200 --> 02:05:04,360
Speaker 4: was a you know, it was like a scissor route

2486
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:06,080
Speaker 4: and the guy was going up on the outside and

2487
02:05:06,160 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 4: it was really easy just to I just flopped it out.

2488
02:05:08,680 --> 02:05:10,400
Speaker 4: I haven't thrown a deep ball the whole game. My

2489
02:05:10,440 --> 02:05:12,280
Speaker 4: guy got behind his coverage and just went It was

2490
02:05:12,320 --> 02:05:14,960
Speaker 4: like a ninety something. We joked we had nine seconds

2491
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:16,800
Speaker 4: and I had to go ninety yards to win the game,

2492
02:05:16,960 --> 02:05:19,240
Speaker 4: and I got it in one play. It just the

2493
02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:21,840
Speaker 4: defense lost him in the secondary. It was a beautiful moment,

2494
02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:22,960
Speaker 4: beautiful moment for me.

2495
02:05:23,360 --> 02:05:27,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a I retire moment. You lose accurate.

2496
02:05:29,800 --> 02:05:31,840
Speaker 4: We were playing the other night with the same group

2497
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 4: of guys and my buddy Steve was up by I

2498
02:05:34,760 --> 02:05:37,480
Speaker 4: had a really tragic first half in the game and

2499
02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:40,160
Speaker 4: I'd thrown four interceptions. I was just like, it was

2500
02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,200
Speaker 4: just wasn't me. I just wasn't playing well. He was

2501
02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:44,000
Speaker 4: up by seventeen at the half, and I was like,

2502
02:05:44,040 --> 02:05:46,480
Speaker 4: I acquiess guys, this is the game where you finally

2503
02:05:46,520 --> 02:05:47,960
Speaker 4: got me. And I ended up beating him in the

2504
02:05:47,960 --> 02:05:49,880
Speaker 4: fourth court. I ended up scoring twenty one points in

2505
02:05:49,920 --> 02:05:51,800
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter to beat him. So you know, I

2506
02:05:52,640 --> 02:05:55,400
Speaker 4: love playing this game. It's got me even more fired

2507
02:05:55,440 --> 02:05:57,760
Speaker 4: up for college football, simply because I could play the

2508
02:05:57,840 --> 02:05:58,600
Speaker 4: video game version.

2509
02:05:59,200 --> 02:06:04,760
Speaker 2: YEAHS say that game is outrageous. It's so good, it's

2510
02:06:04,840 --> 02:06:09,680
Speaker 2: so great, and it does it gets you, It gets

2511
02:06:09,720 --> 02:06:12,600
Speaker 2: you geeked up. I wonder if that's we were talking

2512
02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:16,800
Speaker 2: earlier about people that are not the biggest college football fans,

2513
02:06:16,800 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 2: like we love it, and you know, and around the country,

2514
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:26,320
Speaker 2: especially obviously in the South and Midwest, and people love

2515
02:06:26,520 --> 02:06:31,880
Speaker 2: college football some of the big cities. Is weird because

2516
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:36,040
Speaker 2: in the big cities, they they aren't they're not college there.

2517
02:06:36,320 --> 02:06:40,640
Speaker 2: They're NFL and their NFL almost exclusively.

2518
02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:46,760
Speaker 4: I think the the thing of it is so much

2519
02:06:46,800 --> 02:06:49,240
Speaker 4: of it of fandom on all of this depends on

2520
02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:51,040
Speaker 4: where you grew up and what you grew up around

2521
02:06:51,040 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 4: and what you love, right like, because you are rare

2522
02:06:54,400 --> 02:06:56,240
Speaker 4: to me to see somebody that grew up in a

2523
02:06:56,320 --> 02:06:59,360
Speaker 4: Temple area, you know, like I don't think of Temple

2524
02:06:59,480 --> 02:07:03,960
Speaker 4: having this resounding college football you know, this resonating I

2525
02:07:03,960 --> 02:07:08,000
Speaker 4: should say college football legacy or history that makes people

2526
02:07:08,040 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 4: fall in love with it. And you know, it was

2527
02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 4: interesting to me when I moved to the South. I'd

2528
02:07:12,480 --> 02:07:15,160
Speaker 4: lived everywhere that didn't really love college football to that level,

2529
02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:17,000
Speaker 4: and then you live a few years in the South,

2530
02:07:17,040 --> 02:07:19,000
Speaker 4: You're like, God, you just see how much it means.

2531
02:07:19,160 --> 02:07:21,800
Speaker 4: The video game portion of all of this. Like I mean,

2532
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:24,880
Speaker 4: I say this repeatedly, like I wasn't a big soccer fan,

2533
02:07:25,200 --> 02:07:27,960
Speaker 4: and then I started playing FIFA. It's amazing what that

2534
02:07:28,040 --> 02:07:30,600
Speaker 4: does for you, you know, like it just helps you

2535
02:07:30,680 --> 02:07:32,520
Speaker 4: fall in love with the game when you start playing

2536
02:07:32,520 --> 02:07:35,120
Speaker 4: the video game version of it. So maybe it creates

2537
02:07:35,200 --> 02:07:39,080
Speaker 4: a different level of relationship between college football and fans

2538
02:07:39,080 --> 02:07:42,120
Speaker 4: in the next few years. I'd be genuinely I'm interested

2539
02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:44,320
Speaker 4: to see what happens with the college football game next year,

2540
02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:46,480
Speaker 4: because this year was so hyped. Next year do people

2541
02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 4: even care?

2542
02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:53,400
Speaker 3: I just don't know, you know, yeah, you're no, I

2543
02:07:53,400 --> 02:07:54,000
Speaker 3: could see that.

2544
02:07:54,760 --> 02:07:57,320
Speaker 2: I could totally see that next year is the true

2545
02:07:57,360 --> 02:07:59,280
Speaker 2: litmus that's because it's fresh.

2546
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:00,920
Speaker 4: And new this year. Yeah, it's like everybody's like, I

2547
02:08:00,960 --> 02:08:03,520
Speaker 4: haven't seen this in forever, and now next year it's

2548
02:08:03,760 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 4: you know, roster updates. But what else, you know, I

2549
02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:06,160
Speaker 4: don't know.

2550
02:08:07,480 --> 02:08:11,120
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. Maybe it's the city, like the cities.

2551
02:08:12,280 --> 02:08:16,280
Speaker 2: Is it more that the big cities like Chicago was

2552
02:08:16,320 --> 02:08:18,640
Speaker 2: a big Notre Dame country, But I listen, you know,

2553
02:08:18,720 --> 02:08:24,800
Speaker 2: East Coast is weird, right New York, Philadelphia, DC. You know,

2554
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:28,640
Speaker 2: they're not big ball even Boston. I mean you got

2555
02:08:28,640 --> 02:08:34,120
Speaker 2: Boston College, but that's it. They're not big college football cities.

2556
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:38,680
Speaker 4: Which is also funny to me. You know, I'm fifteen

2557
02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:40,640
Speaker 4: minutes as I sit right now in my house from

2558
02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:44,720
Speaker 4: University of Connecticut, and I did an event at a

2559
02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:47,760
Speaker 4: place here a few weeks ago at j TIMS that's

2560
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:50,680
Speaker 4: famous for their wings, where the Yukon men's basketball came

2561
02:08:50,680 --> 02:08:53,480
Speaker 4: out and team came out, and you know, it feels

2562
02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:55,920
Speaker 4: like it's Aerosmith in the Peak walking into a building

2563
02:08:55,920 --> 02:08:59,520
Speaker 4: when Hurley walks it. It's incredible how much this area

2564
02:08:59,680 --> 02:09:02,560
Speaker 4: love college basketball. And then you think about the college

2565
02:09:02,600 --> 02:09:05,839
Speaker 4: football program and the inability to really grow with any traction.

2566
02:09:06,400 --> 02:09:08,320
Speaker 4: I just I don't know why people don't care at

2567
02:09:08,320 --> 02:09:10,600
Speaker 4: the same level, but they don't. Like New England does

2568
02:09:10,600 --> 02:09:12,640
Speaker 4: not care at the same level about college football. And

2569
02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:15,160
Speaker 4: that's I don't think that's a hot take. Like, it's

2570
02:09:15,200 --> 02:09:17,840
Speaker 4: just it doesn't. You walk into a Buffalo Wo Wings

2571
02:09:17,880 --> 02:09:22,280
Speaker 4: today in the area ten minutes from ESPN campus, it

2572
02:09:22,360 --> 02:09:24,360
Speaker 4: is not going to be filled to the brim with

2573
02:09:24,440 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 4: college football fans. You walk into a Buffalo Wow Wings

2574
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:28,840
Speaker 4: in the South today, You're gonna barely be able to

2575
02:09:28,840 --> 02:09:30,920
Speaker 4: get into the door. You walk into a Buffalo Wow

2576
02:09:30,920 --> 02:09:33,320
Speaker 4: Wings in the Midwest today, gonna barely be able to

2577
02:09:33,320 --> 02:09:35,880
Speaker 4: get into the door. So, like, it is funny to me,

2578
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:38,920
Speaker 4: how you know in this area, this big city area,

2579
02:09:38,960 --> 02:09:40,760
Speaker 4: and then also the New England area, it just does

2580
02:09:41,040 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 4: big city I can say maybe because so many people

2581
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:46,200
Speaker 4: move to big cities from so many different places, they

2582
02:09:46,240 --> 02:09:49,160
Speaker 4: went to school in different places. It doesn't necessarily hit

2583
02:09:49,160 --> 02:09:52,200
Speaker 4: the said like you grew up in Mississippi, like you

2584
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:54,520
Speaker 4: are an Ole miss fan or a Mississippi State fan. Yeah,

2585
02:09:54,760 --> 02:09:57,480
Speaker 4: you know, if you move to New York, you know

2586
02:09:57,360 --> 02:09:59,480
Speaker 4: you could be a fan of anything from anywhere.

2587
02:09:59,600 --> 02:09:59,840
Speaker 12: You know.

2588
02:10:00,800 --> 02:10:03,160
Speaker 2: No, it's a good point, you know, I look at

2589
02:10:04,080 --> 02:10:10,320
Speaker 2: UH when I Philadelphia is you know, predominantly Penn State,

2590
02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:15,600
Speaker 2: but Penn State's four hours away, so it's you know,

2591
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 2: it's closer to Pittsburgh than it is Philadelphia. So most people,

2592
02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:25,920
Speaker 2: unless you went to Penn State, you're not a Penn

2593
02:10:25,960 --> 02:10:30,760
Speaker 2: State fan, like you're, right, a lot of the geography,

2594
02:10:30,920 --> 02:10:34,360
Speaker 2: like you know, you grew up, you know you're in uh,

2595
02:10:35,200 --> 02:10:38,400
Speaker 2: you're LSU. If you're in Louisiana, you're an LSU fan,

2596
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:43,360
Speaker 2: right like Texas. That's why college football like Dallas is different,

2597
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:47,720
Speaker 2: right because you've got so many schools in that part

2598
02:10:47,760 --> 02:10:52,839
Speaker 2: of the world. Right in Texas, it's a huge college.

2599
02:10:52,840 --> 02:10:55,560
Speaker 2: Well you know, it's high school, it's college. It's just

2600
02:10:55,600 --> 02:10:58,120
Speaker 2: a In some ways, high school and college are bigger

2601
02:10:58,120 --> 02:10:58,800
Speaker 2: than the NFL.

2602
02:11:00,480 --> 02:11:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Friday Night Lights come on like that.

2603
02:11:03,320 --> 02:11:05,440
Speaker 4: By the way, TV show better than the movie Hot Take.

2604
02:11:06,280 --> 02:11:09,800
Speaker 4: But Friday Night Lights is exists for a reason because

2605
02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:12,280
Speaker 4: it's real. And you know, that is another thing that

2606
02:11:12,600 --> 02:11:16,480
Speaker 4: this fall. I'm very lucky that I have Friday nights off,

2607
02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:18,280
Speaker 4: and I haven't had Friday nights off really in a

2608
02:11:18,320 --> 02:11:20,960
Speaker 4: long time. And it is funny to me because if

2609
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:23,840
Speaker 4: I lived in if I was still in the national

2610
02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:26,160
Speaker 4: area and I have Friday nights off, I'd be going

2611
02:11:26,160 --> 02:11:28,960
Speaker 4: to a major high school football program every Friday nights

2612
02:11:28,960 --> 02:11:30,760
Speaker 4: just to watch the games, because the vibe is great

2613
02:11:31,080 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 4: in Connecticut. It's just I don't really know anybody that

2614
02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:37,120
Speaker 4: flocks to the high school football game, right. So it is.

2615
02:11:37,240 --> 02:11:40,600
Speaker 4: It's just a cultural thing from eighth grade up that

2616
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:41,640
Speaker 4: hits different.

2617
02:11:41,800 --> 02:11:42,040
Speaker 3: You know.

2618
02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 4: For me, when I was going to high school in

2619
02:11:45,280 --> 02:11:47,800
Speaker 4: you know, I finished high school in Maryland PG County,

2620
02:11:48,640 --> 02:11:52,040
Speaker 4: there weren't people like nobody was suddenly lining up to

2621
02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:55,920
Speaker 4: go to the Bowie Bulldogs football games. That just didn't exist, right,

2622
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:58,880
Speaker 4: So it is. It's wild and one of the crazy

2623
02:11:58,920 --> 02:12:01,800
Speaker 4: beautiful things about America that you can be in one

2624
02:12:01,840 --> 02:12:04,360
Speaker 4: country in different parts of the country and what people

2625
02:12:04,400 --> 02:12:07,120
Speaker 4: are into is so vastly different, you know, as opposed

2626
02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:09,840
Speaker 4: to you know, Europe. It feels like most of Spain

2627
02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:11,920
Speaker 4: is into one thing and most of France is into

2628
02:12:11,920 --> 02:12:14,200
Speaker 4: one thing. Right, We're just not like that at all.

2629
02:12:15,080 --> 02:12:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's uh, You're you're completely spot on. All right,

2630
02:12:21,320 --> 02:12:23,160
Speaker 2: Let's figure out these games for a second. We have

2631
02:12:23,240 --> 02:12:30,080
Speaker 2: the brain coming up at the at the bottom of

2632
02:12:30,120 --> 02:12:33,920
Speaker 2: the hour, we'll talk to the brain for take a

2633
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:36,640
Speaker 2: look at it from a betting standpoint. But let's let's

2634
02:12:36,720 --> 02:12:40,000
Speaker 2: analyze these for a second. So Clem's in Georgia. We

2635
02:12:40,040 --> 02:12:45,720
Speaker 2: talked about it. It's almost as if Georgia is under

2636
02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:51,040
Speaker 2: under rated. I mean, it sounds weird. It's in the

2637
02:12:51,160 --> 02:12:54,920
Speaker 2: number one team in the country, but they're under talked about.

2638
02:12:55,120 --> 02:12:59,280
Speaker 2: They're not you know, I think you know last year's

2639
02:12:59,360 --> 02:13:04,200
Speaker 2: step back, you know, I don't know. I don't know

2640
02:13:04,240 --> 02:13:10,440
Speaker 2: why missing why Georgia is like not viewed, nobody saw.

2641
02:13:10,480 --> 02:13:12,440
Speaker 2: It feels like nobody's talking about it, even in its game.

2642
02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:14,800
Speaker 2: I go, I don't think clefs you could stay on

2643
02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:16,000
Speaker 2: the field with them.

2644
02:13:16,600 --> 02:13:19,160
Speaker 4: So I had this moment when I was doing my

2645
02:13:19,160 --> 02:13:21,080
Speaker 4: show the other day and my co host, who lives

2646
02:13:21,120 --> 02:13:24,000
Speaker 4: in Nashville still on one of the shows, Caroline, I

2647
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:26,040
Speaker 4: said to her, I said, I think we're sleeping on Georgia.

2648
02:13:26,080 --> 02:13:29,160
Speaker 4: They're not getting enough national attention. And both of the

2649
02:13:29,160 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 4: people on the show with me looked at me like

2650
02:13:30,680 --> 02:13:33,080
Speaker 4: I was crazy and started to push back on all

2651
02:13:33,120 --> 02:13:35,120
Speaker 4: of it. It's like all anybody's talking about is Georgia.

2652
02:13:35,200 --> 02:13:38,120
Speaker 4: And it's funny because I guess I can't speak to

2653
02:13:38,160 --> 02:13:39,960
Speaker 4: this because I haven't been down there. I guess if

2654
02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:43,000
Speaker 4: you're in sec country, all anybody's talking about is Georgia.

2655
02:13:43,080 --> 02:13:45,200
Speaker 4: But I think you're right, Like when you just when

2656
02:13:45,240 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 4: you turn on the national shows that are talking about

2657
02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:51,360
Speaker 4: college football, they're not leading with Georgia, They're not leading

2658
02:13:51,360 --> 02:13:53,160
Speaker 4: with the number one team in the country. I don't

2659
02:13:53,160 --> 02:13:55,920
Speaker 4: feel like there's the reverence of respect that usually a

2660
02:13:55,960 --> 02:13:58,120
Speaker 4: team that's on this level of dominance over a three

2661
02:13:58,200 --> 02:14:00,760
Speaker 4: or four or five year period gets like. It feels

2662
02:14:00,760 --> 02:14:03,200
Speaker 4: like the story of college football. We're spending more time

2663
02:14:03,200 --> 02:14:06,640
Speaker 4: talking about a bad Colorado team with Dion than we

2664
02:14:06,680 --> 02:14:10,160
Speaker 4: are talking about a team that realistically had a very

2665
02:14:10,280 --> 02:14:13,000
Speaker 4: legitimate chance at winning the national championship last year for

2666
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:14,960
Speaker 4: a third year in a row, and is the number

2667
02:14:14,960 --> 02:14:17,920
Speaker 4: one team in the country right now. I agree with you.

2668
02:14:17,960 --> 02:14:20,960
Speaker 4: I think the national narrative on Georgia is being slept

2669
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:23,640
Speaker 4: on and people aren't really thinking about how stinking good

2670
02:14:23,720 --> 02:14:26,320
Speaker 4: they are, especially when you compare it to the way

2671
02:14:26,320 --> 02:14:29,200
Speaker 4: that we're talking about Ohio State right now nationally, the

2672
02:14:29,280 --> 02:14:32,680
Speaker 4: way that I'm talking about Oregon right now nationally. Even

2673
02:14:32,840 --> 02:14:34,640
Speaker 4: some of the national love to Ole miss It's like

2674
02:14:34,680 --> 02:14:36,240
Speaker 4: people want something shiny and new.

2675
02:14:37,320 --> 02:14:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I think you're right. It's just they're

2676
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:47,600
Speaker 2: so good too. They're so good, My god, I just

2677
02:14:47,640 --> 02:14:51,600
Speaker 2: think they're scary all right. Now, A and M and

2678
02:14:51,680 --> 02:14:58,240
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, which is another like fascinating game and another

2679
02:14:58,440 --> 02:15:04,360
Speaker 2: debut of of a quarterback that's a veteran like these

2680
02:15:04,480 --> 02:15:09,080
Speaker 2: quarterbacks today that have been in two and three programs.

2681
02:15:09,120 --> 02:15:11,720
Speaker 2: It's you know, we talked about earlier about the portal,

2682
02:15:11,720 --> 02:15:15,400
Speaker 2: about how wild the portal is. Right, so you're come

2683
02:15:16,120 --> 02:15:20,080
Speaker 2: the Irish and if they could beat Texas A and M,

2684
02:15:20,600 --> 02:15:22,360
Speaker 2: they got a shot at going unbeaten.

2685
02:15:24,080 --> 02:15:26,720
Speaker 4: I think part of the quarterback conversation two has to

2686
02:15:26,760 --> 02:15:28,920
Speaker 4: be not just if they played a lot of football,

2687
02:15:28,960 --> 02:15:32,000
Speaker 4: but what's held them back where they've been before? Because

2688
02:15:32,360 --> 02:15:36,600
Speaker 4: we just watched dj Ouyongalila for Florida State be I

2689
02:15:36,640 --> 02:15:39,880
Speaker 4: think exactly who's been his whole career inconsistent? Is a

2690
02:15:39,960 --> 02:15:42,960
Speaker 4: quarterback they have to please could save him from some

2691
02:15:43,120 --> 02:15:46,200
Speaker 4: Yeah he's not. And the funny thing is he gets

2692
02:15:46,200 --> 02:15:48,240
Speaker 4: talked about like he's like he's good. But to me,

2693
02:15:48,720 --> 02:15:51,520
Speaker 4: Riley Leonard, you're talking about somebody that made the most

2694
02:15:51,520 --> 02:15:54,000
Speaker 4: of everything he had at Duke, he elevated the people

2695
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:56,880
Speaker 4: that were around him. So, Riley Leonard, going to more talent,

2696
02:15:57,360 --> 02:16:00,320
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see, you know, Dylan Gabriel has played

2697
02:16:00,320 --> 02:16:02,000
Speaker 4: at a high level with the talent that he had

2698
02:16:02,040 --> 02:16:04,960
Speaker 4: around him, going to more talent with him, I'm interested

2699
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:07,200
Speaker 4: to see. Like, I don't want to take this quarterback

2700
02:16:07,240 --> 02:16:10,000
Speaker 4: conversation and suddenly say, well, this guy hasn't been any good,

2701
02:16:10,080 --> 02:16:12,480
Speaker 4: but now this will be the awakening. I think we

2702
02:16:12,560 --> 02:16:14,200
Speaker 4: have to be careful on that. But I don't think

2703
02:16:14,240 --> 02:16:16,160
Speaker 4: we have to be careful or cautious when it comes

2704
02:16:16,200 --> 02:16:19,200
Speaker 4: to saying, here's a quarterback that's had some success that

2705
02:16:19,320 --> 02:16:22,480
Speaker 4: now could have a lot of success because they've transferred

2706
02:16:22,520 --> 02:16:25,400
Speaker 4: into a situation that fits them better. I'll a Bonnicks

2707
02:16:25,520 --> 02:16:28,480
Speaker 4: like what happened about next transferred to Oregon like it

2708
02:16:28,560 --> 02:16:31,240
Speaker 4: was the awakening for him. So I totally agree with you,

2709
02:16:31,360 --> 02:16:34,280
Speaker 4: Riley Leonard, having an awakening against Texas A and m

2710
02:16:34,360 --> 02:16:36,680
Speaker 4: oh World, Well, go nuts for it. I want it.

2711
02:16:36,720 --> 02:16:37,840
Speaker 4: I want that Disney storybook.

2712
02:16:37,840 --> 02:16:40,600
Speaker 2: Get I do too, and I and listen. I liked him.

2713
02:16:40,800 --> 02:16:44,760
Speaker 2: I liked him at Duke. You we talked about him.

2714
02:16:45,080 --> 02:16:50,800
Speaker 2: He listened, he delivers a terrific ball. He's mobile. I'm

2715
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:53,720
Speaker 2: really curious now you brought it up earlier in the show,

2716
02:16:53,920 --> 02:16:55,680
Speaker 2: and you are spot on.

2717
02:16:56,680 --> 02:17:00,720
Speaker 3: The whole key to Notre Dame is if that, oh, that.

2718
02:17:00,640 --> 02:17:04,199
Speaker 2: Offensive line comes together, because if they can protect them,

2719
02:17:04,560 --> 02:17:06,439
Speaker 2: forget about it, they're gonna be good.

2720
02:17:06,840 --> 02:17:09,840
Speaker 3: But we're I'm a little suspect on that O line.

2721
02:17:10,800 --> 02:17:12,320
Speaker 4: Oh I'm a lot suspect on that.

2722
02:17:12,480 --> 02:17:12,560
Speaker 12: Like.

2723
02:17:12,840 --> 02:17:15,840
Speaker 4: Look, I think it's fair too, you know, without drinking

2724
02:17:15,840 --> 02:17:19,320
Speaker 4: hater aide, I think that it's fair to say, hey man,

2725
02:17:19,360 --> 02:17:23,280
Speaker 4: when you've got between players leaving and injuries and just

2726
02:17:23,640 --> 02:17:26,480
Speaker 4: a displaced offensive line, I need to see it first.

2727
02:17:26,560 --> 02:17:28,920
Speaker 4: And yeah, now you've got a quarterback that's gonna be

2728
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:31,880
Speaker 4: in that environment like at Texas A and M. That's

2729
02:17:31,920 --> 02:17:34,480
Speaker 4: a big lift. Now I need that quarterback to not

2730
02:17:34,560 --> 02:17:36,680
Speaker 4: be running for his life. I need that quarterback to

2731
02:17:36,720 --> 02:17:39,640
Speaker 4: not be seeing ghosts like that's all again, that's just

2732
02:17:39,680 --> 02:17:42,600
Speaker 4: a big lift that's being asked for. So I don't

2733
02:17:42,640 --> 02:17:45,360
Speaker 4: think that's unfair. If that offensive line holds up, Notre

2734
02:17:45,400 --> 02:17:47,280
Speaker 4: Dame wins this game. It's that simple to me. If

2735
02:17:47,280 --> 02:17:49,840
Speaker 4: that offensive line doesn't hold up, then Notre Dame loses

2736
02:17:49,879 --> 02:17:52,280
Speaker 4: this game, and it's all about the big uglies in

2737
02:17:52,280 --> 02:17:54,160
Speaker 4: the middle, and we're gonna have to watch the fat

2738
02:17:54,160 --> 02:17:55,840
Speaker 4: boy sweat it out and just figure out if they

2739
02:17:55,840 --> 02:17:57,680
Speaker 4: can hold him up, right, because that Texas A and

2740
02:17:57,760 --> 02:18:00,840
Speaker 4: M D line, I'm telling you, is not good. They're great.

2741
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:03,240
Speaker 4: There's a difference at Texas. Texas A and M D.

2742
02:18:03,400 --> 02:18:04,840
Speaker 4: Line can get after it.

2743
02:18:05,400 --> 02:18:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, and they got better. I mean they

2744
02:18:10,400 --> 02:18:14,440
Speaker 2: got better in the portal too. So all right, well

2798
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:01,800
Speaker 2: And right off the bat he let me tell you something.

2799
02:21:01,879 --> 02:21:07,120
Speaker 2: Fitzie the Brain had a winner. He said, uh, Champion

2800
02:21:07,160 --> 02:21:09,640
Speaker 2: said Oklahoma first half.

2801
02:21:10,640 --> 02:21:12,840
Speaker 12: But you know what's interesting we both I know, but

2802
02:21:13,160 --> 02:21:16,800
Speaker 12: I got to give dual credit me and both said

2803
02:21:17,080 --> 02:21:20,360
Speaker 12: that is, you know, we've just by following this stuff

2804
02:21:20,360 --> 02:21:23,520
Speaker 12: from way too many years. We both said, that has

2805
02:21:23,560 --> 02:21:26,280
Speaker 12: thirty five nothing written all first half. That'll be the

2806
02:21:26,320 --> 02:21:29,080
Speaker 12: exact score. What was the score? Thirty four nothing in

2807
02:21:29,240 --> 02:21:31,920
Speaker 12: doccas of little bit, I guess, but point being yeah,

2808
02:21:31,959 --> 02:21:34,360
Speaker 12: I mean that was you know what Sale was saying,

2809
02:21:34,400 --> 02:21:36,600
Speaker 12: you know, like Dennis Green, temples who we thought they were.

2810
02:21:37,480 --> 02:21:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah they stink.

2811
02:21:39,560 --> 02:21:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. But this is I will say before we

2812
02:21:42,120 --> 02:21:44,000
Speaker 4: get into questions for the brain. One thing that I've

2813
02:21:44,040 --> 02:21:46,600
Speaker 4: stolen from him over the last year of working with

2814
02:21:46,680 --> 02:21:49,320
Speaker 4: him so much on these Saturdays is like betting the

2815
02:21:49,400 --> 02:21:52,640
Speaker 4: first half is like for these big spreads with these

2816
02:21:52,640 --> 02:21:54,840
Speaker 4: good teams, betting the first half has made a lot

2817
02:21:54,879 --> 02:21:57,160
Speaker 4: more money. I don't have to worry about second half.

2818
02:21:57,200 --> 02:21:59,800
Speaker 4: So you know you've you've taught the world, my friend.

2819
02:22:00,440 --> 02:22:02,920
Speaker 12: Well, no, it's because it's interesting and what always happens

2820
02:22:02,959 --> 02:22:05,160
Speaker 12: is and it's funny. Like the King of this God.

2821
02:22:05,200 --> 02:22:07,560
Speaker 12: I can't even tell you how many times I made

2822
02:22:07,600 --> 02:22:11,440
Speaker 12: money on this. Was Oklahoma and Alabama would literally be

2823
02:22:11,520 --> 02:22:14,520
Speaker 12: up at halftime in these games forty two nothing, thirty

2824
02:22:14,520 --> 02:22:17,400
Speaker 12: five nothing, thirty eight nothing, and the final score would

2825
02:22:17,400 --> 02:22:18,880
Speaker 12: be like forty five to three. And what was the

2826
02:22:18,920 --> 02:22:22,760
Speaker 12: final score yesterday? They do you remember? Or fifty it was?

2827
02:22:22,840 --> 02:22:24,680
Speaker 12: It was there weren't many points scored in the second

2828
02:22:24,680 --> 02:22:27,119
Speaker 12: half at all, and it's just.

2829
02:22:28,640 --> 02:22:29,560
Speaker 3: Fifty one three.

2830
02:22:30,200 --> 02:22:34,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, So there was what eighteen whatever nineteen points scored

2831
02:22:34,360 --> 02:22:36,119
Speaker 12: in the second half, thirty four and the second half.

2832
02:22:36,280 --> 02:22:38,360
Speaker 12: That's just what always happens to the games, because what

2833
02:22:38,360 --> 02:22:40,360
Speaker 12: happens is the team that's winning. You know, if you're

2834
02:22:40,400 --> 02:22:44,000
Speaker 12: up by five touchdowns, you know you're not looking to

2835
02:22:44,040 --> 02:22:47,200
Speaker 12: win by nine touchdowns. Okay, so you know you're just

2836
02:22:47,240 --> 02:22:49,880
Speaker 12: gonna go run, run, run, run, run, run, run on run.

2837
02:22:49,920 --> 02:22:51,880
Speaker 12: Which is you know, obviously you've bet under. That's the

2838
02:22:52,120 --> 02:22:54,520
Speaker 12: you know, an under best friend, this team that runs

2839
02:22:54,520 --> 02:22:58,119
Speaker 12: the ball and h betting the first half. And again,

2840
02:22:59,080 --> 02:23:01,760
Speaker 12: bookmakers have gotten lot sharp in this over time. It

2841
02:23:01,840 --> 02:23:03,800
Speaker 12: used to be if the team was a let's call

2842
02:23:03,840 --> 02:23:06,279
Speaker 12: it a thirty five point favorite, they'd be laying seventeen

2843
02:23:06,280 --> 02:23:09,959
Speaker 12: and a half and both has no longer now now

2844
02:23:10,000 --> 02:23:11,840
Speaker 12: they you know, usually in a game like that, it

2845
02:23:11,840 --> 02:23:13,920
Speaker 12: would be more like laying twenty one of the first half,

2846
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:16,800
Speaker 12: lang fourteen to the second half. It's still I think

2847
02:23:16,800 --> 02:23:19,520
Speaker 12: it's usually worth it because of just how crazy different,

2848
02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:22,440
Speaker 12: uh it is when you have trying your entire first

2849
02:23:22,440 --> 02:23:23,800
Speaker 12: half and the second half you're just trying to run

2850
02:23:23,800 --> 02:23:24,240
Speaker 12: out the clock.

2851
02:23:25,440 --> 02:23:26,760
Speaker 3: Totally totally.

2852
02:23:27,879 --> 02:23:28,000
Speaker 12: Uh.

2853
02:23:28,800 --> 02:23:30,240
Speaker 3: All right, so let's go through it.

2854
02:23:30,320 --> 02:23:32,720
Speaker 2: Let's just start off, man, Let's just go games man,

2855
02:23:32,800 --> 02:23:38,480
Speaker 2: Let's get knots, let's go today. George Clenchon dude, I

2856
02:23:38,520 --> 02:23:41,720
Speaker 2: don't understand it. I'll be honest with you. I love

2857
02:23:41,760 --> 02:23:43,879
Speaker 2: Georgia today. I don't think Clets would say one.

2858
02:23:45,160 --> 02:23:48,360
Speaker 12: Well, you know, listen here the thing that Etn Drebortan

2859
02:23:48,560 --> 02:23:54,520
Speaker 12: had some issues which you know could hurt them. Their

2860
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:58,920
Speaker 12: second leading receiver, Rob Rob Thomas is not on the team.

2861
02:23:58,959 --> 02:24:01,680
Speaker 12: He got kicked off the we had some a couple

2862
02:24:01,720 --> 02:24:04,440
Speaker 12: of things which have not been great, you know, whatever

2863
02:24:04,480 --> 02:24:08,000
Speaker 12: you want to call it. Not ideal for a team

2864
02:24:08,080 --> 02:24:10,440
Speaker 12: trying to come back and win a national championship. That

2865
02:24:10,600 --> 02:24:15,359
Speaker 12: being said, looking I think we talked about Clemson. Clemson

2866
02:24:15,400 --> 02:24:17,560
Speaker 12: to me, you know, I think they're a team that

2867
02:24:17,800 --> 02:24:22,440
Speaker 12: I think the days of Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson

2868
02:24:22,480 --> 02:24:25,920
Speaker 12: winning national championships. Now you're in k club. Nick Enough said,

2869
02:24:26,080 --> 02:24:29,040
Speaker 12: I don't think that these are elite teams. I think

2870
02:24:29,120 --> 02:24:32,800
Speaker 12: Dabbo is done in terms of really contending for national titles.

2871
02:24:32,959 --> 02:24:35,720
Speaker 12: Carson Deck to me, is the truth, the real deal. Yeah,

2872
02:24:35,800 --> 02:24:38,720
Speaker 12: I mean, this line's actually been beck down. The only

2873
02:24:38,760 --> 02:24:40,280
Speaker 12: way I can look you is Georgia. Yeah. I do

2874
02:24:40,280 --> 02:24:43,080
Speaker 12: think Georgia does win this game by double digits, by

2875
02:24:43,080 --> 02:24:45,080
Speaker 12: two touchdowns. I just say double digits may not and

2876
02:24:45,080 --> 02:24:46,520
Speaker 12: can do I can think of one by ten, but

2877
02:24:46,760 --> 02:24:48,600
Speaker 12: I think they win this game by at least two touchdowns.

2878
02:24:48,640 --> 02:24:50,640
Speaker 12: I really do that the games in Atlanta should be

2879
02:24:50,640 --> 02:24:53,800
Speaker 12: an interest, should be a great crowd. I just think

2880
02:24:53,840 --> 02:24:56,199
Speaker 12: matchup wise, I just think Georgia is in different class

2881
02:24:56,240 --> 02:24:58,680
Speaker 12: and I think the fine should be a little over fourteen,

2882
02:24:58,879 --> 02:25:00,280
Speaker 12: and it's a little less than fourteen. And so I'm

2883
02:25:00,280 --> 02:25:01,359
Speaker 12: gonna take my chances.

2884
02:25:01,080 --> 02:25:04,600
Speaker 4: With you age if, as we all believe, that game

2885
02:25:04,640 --> 02:25:06,720
Speaker 4: is going to be a blowout. On this show, so

2886
02:25:06,760 --> 02:25:09,240
Speaker 4: far today we've been excited about Penn State West Virginia.

2887
02:25:09,280 --> 02:25:10,000
Speaker 4: What do you see there?

2888
02:25:11,120 --> 02:25:14,840
Speaker 12: You know it's interesting. Look I always say, you know,

2889
02:25:14,840 --> 02:25:17,160
Speaker 12: any game, I will tell you I bet numbers, not teams.

2890
02:25:17,560 --> 02:25:20,640
Speaker 12: Now I bet West Virginia plus ten. The line's down

2891
02:25:20,640 --> 02:25:23,000
Speaker 12: at seven and a half. I'm not betting it at

2892
02:25:23,000 --> 02:25:24,720
Speaker 12: seven and a half because I thought the light line

2893
02:25:24,720 --> 02:25:28,400
Speaker 12: should have been about eight or so. Look, this is

2894
02:25:28,440 --> 02:25:30,160
Speaker 12: a I'm not going to see a make or break

2895
02:25:30,200 --> 02:25:33,119
Speaker 12: year for James Franklin. That's not fair because they've had

2896
02:25:34,080 --> 02:25:35,800
Speaker 12: fun of success with him. But this is a team.

2897
02:25:36,360 --> 02:25:38,320
Speaker 12: If you look at the Penn State, they're going to

2898
02:25:38,360 --> 02:25:42,000
Speaker 12: be favored basically in every game this year something one. Okay,

2899
02:25:42,680 --> 02:25:44,560
Speaker 12: they got to make the playoffs this year. I mean

2900
02:25:44,680 --> 02:25:46,880
Speaker 12: when I say that, I really need it, like there's

2901
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:51,120
Speaker 12: no excuses, there's no anything other than me. Is that

2902
02:25:51,240 --> 02:25:54,280
Speaker 12: making the playoffs is inexcuse? Well, now I do like

2903
02:25:54,320 --> 02:25:58,120
Speaker 12: Garrett Green for West Virginia. I think he's again I

2904
02:25:58,240 --> 02:26:00,680
Speaker 12: like in college. I like the guys it can run.

2905
02:26:01,440 --> 02:26:04,119
Speaker 12: I like him in pro too, but Green can do both.

2906
02:26:05,240 --> 02:26:09,520
Speaker 12: Look again at current numbers to me guys to pass.

2907
02:26:09,640 --> 02:26:12,560
Speaker 12: I think it's the right number at seven and a

2908
02:26:12,560 --> 02:26:17,320
Speaker 12: half slash eight, but if you could you know again,

2909
02:26:17,640 --> 02:26:19,800
Speaker 12: if it blind dips to seven, I would like tenn

2910
02:26:19,800 --> 02:26:22,080
Speaker 12: State Again, I bet numbers, not teams, and at ten

2911
02:26:22,160 --> 02:26:23,680
Speaker 12: I liked West Virginia, but I think this is the

2912
02:26:23,720 --> 02:26:25,800
Speaker 12: right number. But I think this is a really big year.

2913
02:26:25,920 --> 02:26:26,400
Speaker 12: Ten state.

2914
02:26:27,280 --> 02:26:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about earlier in the show, like this

2915
02:26:29,800 --> 02:26:31,800
Speaker 3: is this has to.

2916
02:26:31,760 --> 02:26:35,320
Speaker 2: Be like if it's one thing that you're resigned without

2917
02:26:35,320 --> 02:26:37,560
Speaker 2: a playoff to always finishing.

2918
02:26:37,240 --> 02:26:38,640
Speaker 3: Behind Ohio State, Michigan.

2919
02:26:39,160 --> 02:26:44,359
Speaker 2: But now, all right, Michigan is down right, you transition.

2920
02:26:45,600 --> 02:26:48,560
Speaker 2: I know Oregon's good, and obviously Ohigo of state's high state,

2921
02:26:49,040 --> 02:26:50,720
Speaker 2: but you know, there's no shoes.

2922
02:26:50,760 --> 02:26:52,480
Speaker 3: Now you got to make a playoff if you're.

2923
02:26:52,400 --> 02:26:55,879
Speaker 12: Franklin, Anthony. To me, Franklin is in the exact same spot,

2924
02:26:55,920 --> 02:26:58,320
Speaker 12: and I don't think I'm being unfair. And Jim Harball

2925
02:26:58,560 --> 02:27:01,680
Speaker 12: was three years ago okay, because Harball was there, I

2926
02:27:01,720 --> 02:27:04,119
Speaker 12: don't know how any five years they just weren't okay.

2927
02:27:04,200 --> 02:27:07,080
Speaker 12: And then three years ago they break through and they

2928
02:27:07,120 --> 02:27:09,640
Speaker 12: you know, Georgia jessps how was at that game, like

2929
02:27:09,840 --> 02:27:12,960
Speaker 12: killed them in the final four. And then they got

2930
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:15,800
Speaker 12: to the final four and they got shockingly upset by

2931
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:18,040
Speaker 12: TCU and then of course last year they won the

2932
02:27:18,120 --> 02:27:21,199
Speaker 12: national titles. So loos. Harball got there three straight years

2933
02:27:21,480 --> 02:27:23,680
Speaker 12: in a four man playoff, which is incredibly hard to do,

2934
02:27:24,200 --> 02:27:27,800
Speaker 12: but he did it. But similar situation Penn State in Michigan,

2935
02:27:27,879 --> 02:27:31,560
Speaker 12: amazing blue blood programs that were going through a malaise

2936
02:27:31,680 --> 02:27:34,240
Speaker 12: of just got eight and four, nine and three kind

2937
02:27:34,280 --> 02:27:38,800
Speaker 12: of years, never really getting to the promised lands. To

2938
02:27:38,920 --> 02:27:42,720
Speaker 12: me again, can Franklin do what Harball did? We're about

2939
02:27:42,720 --> 02:27:45,240
Speaker 12: to find out, all.

2940
02:27:45,160 --> 02:27:47,560
Speaker 4: Right, So give me with a big slate of games today.

2941
02:27:47,959 --> 02:27:49,760
Speaker 4: Was there a game that you looked at and thought, wow,

2942
02:27:49,800 --> 02:27:52,560
Speaker 4: that one priced out really wrong, like there's good action here.

2943
02:27:52,640 --> 02:27:56,480
Speaker 12: Well, well it's funny. My biggest bed of the day, guys,

2944
02:27:56,560 --> 02:28:01,359
Speaker 12: and it's it's it's not so listen. I like UCLA

2945
02:28:01,400 --> 02:28:04,360
Speaker 12: against Hawaii. Now, I got it. The lines moved, it's

2946
02:28:04,400 --> 02:28:07,720
Speaker 12: moved from thirteen to fourteen, but I still like it.

2947
02:28:07,879 --> 02:28:14,000
Speaker 12: Actually randomly watched Hawaii. They're playing dough or State, who

2948
02:28:14,080 --> 02:28:17,680
Speaker 12: is not a you know, an FTDs team, and Hawaii

2949
02:28:17,760 --> 02:28:20,960
Speaker 12: was a forty point favorite of that game, and they

2950
02:28:21,040 --> 02:28:24,080
Speaker 12: were like towards the end of third quarter it was

2951
02:28:24,080 --> 02:28:26,680
Speaker 12: a tie game and one of Hawaii scores was on

2952
02:28:26,760 --> 02:28:29,320
Speaker 12: a punt return or kickoff return, which one it was.

2953
02:28:30,760 --> 02:28:36,240
Speaker 12: And to me, again, obviously coaching change UCLA, there will

2954
02:28:36,280 --> 02:28:39,560
Speaker 12: be some adjustments, but I think UCLA is still at

2955
02:28:39,640 --> 02:28:43,119
Speaker 12: least a dec team, and I think they will torch

2956
02:28:43,240 --> 02:28:46,119
Speaker 12: Hawaii and win that game by more than two touchdowns.

2957
02:28:46,240 --> 02:28:46,560
Speaker 3: I do.

2958
02:28:47,920 --> 02:28:50,080
Speaker 12: I think again, I think this is going to be

2959
02:28:50,760 --> 02:28:53,960
Speaker 12: I'm not going to say like the Temple game last night,

2960
02:28:54,280 --> 02:28:55,920
Speaker 12: but I think this could be like a you know,

2961
02:28:56,120 --> 02:28:59,320
Speaker 12: let's call it like a fifty two to like, you know,

2962
02:28:59,680 --> 02:29:02,520
Speaker 12: twenty one kind of u c l A win forty

2963
02:29:02,560 --> 02:29:05,440
Speaker 12: five twenty one UCLA kind of win. I think they

2964
02:29:05,600 --> 02:29:07,920
Speaker 12: roll in this one against the Hawai team that I

2965
02:29:07,959 --> 02:29:11,240
Speaker 12: don't think is really good at all. And again, maybe

2966
02:29:11,240 --> 02:29:13,600
Speaker 12: I'm putting too much stock in that game against Doaware State,

2967
02:29:13,959 --> 02:29:17,000
Speaker 12: but this I was not like that pick a little bit.

2968
02:29:17,200 --> 02:29:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that pick.

2969
02:29:18,879 --> 02:29:25,039
Speaker 2: How about the how about the Irish Irish any Lean air?

2970
02:29:26,080 --> 02:29:28,600
Speaker 12: Well, that wasn't what a great matchup, you know, because

2971
02:29:29,120 --> 02:29:33,119
Speaker 12: look you have Elko who coached Riley Leonard, right, And

2972
02:29:33,200 --> 02:29:36,120
Speaker 12: it's like, to me, it's just so weird that the

2973
02:29:36,800 --> 02:29:39,200
Speaker 12: because Duke. It's funny my daughter goes to Duke, so

2974
02:29:39,240 --> 02:29:42,000
Speaker 12: I followed Duke very closely, not that she cared about

2975
02:29:42,040 --> 02:29:44,680
Speaker 12: the program, but I actually did follow Duke football, and

2976
02:29:44,720 --> 02:29:48,160
Speaker 12: they Elco did an amazing job there. I mean they

2977
02:29:48,160 --> 02:29:50,640
Speaker 12: were they were really tough, like they were and I

2978
02:29:50,680 --> 02:29:53,000
Speaker 12: bet they're season one in wins two straight years and

2979
02:29:53,000 --> 02:29:56,560
Speaker 12: they kicked me in my teeth and but again they were.

2980
02:29:56,840 --> 02:29:58,800
Speaker 12: He's a really good coach. I was very impressed with

2981
02:29:58,840 --> 02:30:01,760
Speaker 12: him and Leonard before he got hurt, to me, was

2982
02:30:01,879 --> 02:30:04,160
Speaker 12: just a winning kind of player. Now look now he

2983
02:30:04,200 --> 02:30:09,320
Speaker 12: gets to play at at uh at uh at Notre Dame. Look,

2984
02:30:09,360 --> 02:30:13,000
Speaker 12: you know it's interesting. I still you know, Look, Connor

2985
02:30:13,040 --> 02:30:16,560
Speaker 12: Wegner is okay at tex A and M. I don't

2986
02:30:16,560 --> 02:30:18,400
Speaker 12: think he's that great now again, I do think that's

2987
02:30:18,440 --> 02:30:21,520
Speaker 12: as I will. I think it's a massive, massive I

2988
02:30:21,560 --> 02:30:24,560
Speaker 12: cannot truss it enough coaching upgrade for text A and M.

2989
02:30:24,680 --> 02:30:28,240
Speaker 12: I actually tax a M now will finally maybe get

2990
02:30:28,280 --> 02:30:31,560
Speaker 12: to that you know, promised land that they've been every year.

2991
02:30:31,560 --> 02:30:33,920
Speaker 12: You see tex A and M top five recruiting every year,

2992
02:30:33,959 --> 02:30:36,039
Speaker 12: Gym books Whicher will go like seven and five and

2993
02:30:36,120 --> 02:30:39,400
Speaker 12: it was just repeat, repeat, repeat. I have no doubt

2994
02:30:39,800 --> 02:30:42,080
Speaker 12: that Elco's going to get the mail what happened.

2995
02:30:41,840 --> 02:30:42,360
Speaker 4: In this game?

2996
02:30:43,080 --> 02:30:46,800
Speaker 12: Look, I actually mean Notre Dame because I just I'm

2997
02:30:46,840 --> 02:30:49,200
Speaker 12: gonna trust a quarterback on the first game over the

2998
02:30:49,240 --> 02:30:51,080
Speaker 12: coach in the first game. That I could be wrong,

2999
02:30:51,800 --> 02:30:54,200
Speaker 12: and I think I think Notre Dame went just one

3000
02:30:54,240 --> 02:30:56,800
Speaker 12: out right, all right?

3001
02:30:56,879 --> 02:30:59,680
Speaker 4: I know obviously Saturday games are big, but USC LSU

3002
02:30:59,720 --> 02:31:01,400
Speaker 4: sitting our Sunday night, any feel on that one?

3003
02:31:02,520 --> 02:31:04,440
Speaker 12: Yeah? You know, sorry, I did bet. One of my

3004
02:31:04,480 --> 02:31:08,119
Speaker 12: bigger bets is USC. I got six and a half.

3005
02:31:08,480 --> 02:31:12,520
Speaker 12: He's down the four nail. Look, you know it's interesting.

3006
02:31:13,400 --> 02:31:16,960
Speaker 12: L s U had some defensive line issues which you know,

3007
02:31:17,680 --> 02:31:21,560
Speaker 12: I don't think are gonna be good. Garrett Nussmeyer should

3008
02:31:21,560 --> 02:31:24,560
Speaker 12: be good for L s U. I think he'll be fine.

3009
02:31:25,040 --> 02:31:29,400
Speaker 12: Miller Moss obviously replacing the great Cal Williams. I think

3010
02:31:29,440 --> 02:31:32,400
Speaker 12: he's gonna be decent for what I've seen. Look, it's

3011
02:31:32,480 --> 02:31:35,320
Speaker 12: interesting just when I looked at this game and I

3012
02:31:35,600 --> 02:31:38,959
Speaker 12: use my numbers, look in by the way, I wish

3013
02:31:39,000 --> 02:31:40,200
Speaker 12: it was there. It'd be great to be going to

3014
02:31:40,280 --> 02:31:41,960
Speaker 12: this game in Vegas. It it'd be like a great,

3015
02:31:42,040 --> 02:31:46,040
Speaker 12: you know, great atmosphere probably, But I think this is

3016
02:31:46,120 --> 02:31:48,320
Speaker 12: much more of a fifty to fifty game. I don't

3017
02:31:48,600 --> 02:31:51,760
Speaker 12: know why L s U is really necessarily even favored,

3018
02:31:51,840 --> 02:31:56,240
Speaker 12: to be honest, Yeah, I don't think L shoes like

3019
02:31:56,640 --> 02:31:59,920
Speaker 12: all that in the ball wax. I really don't. My

3020
02:32:00,200 --> 02:32:03,440
Speaker 12: numbers made this too, and so when I got six

3021
02:32:03,520 --> 02:32:06,640
Speaker 12: and a half it was an automatic bet. And even yeah,

3022
02:32:06,840 --> 02:32:08,760
Speaker 12: I think I'm on the.

3023
02:32:08,760 --> 02:32:10,920
Speaker 3: Other side that think I like Alision more.

3024
02:32:10,840 --> 02:32:13,879
Speaker 12: Than you do. Okay, well, listen, I do think Notsmeyer

3025
02:32:13,920 --> 02:32:16,199
Speaker 12: is going to be decent. I will say that I'd

3026
02:32:16,360 --> 02:32:19,400
Speaker 12: like him a lot. Yeah, Yeah, I do think he's

3027
02:32:19,400 --> 02:32:23,000
Speaker 12: going to be decent, But I don't know. I mean,

3028
02:32:23,080 --> 02:32:26,640
Speaker 12: we'll see again. I have these things more close again. Look,

3029
02:32:26,720 --> 02:32:29,440
Speaker 12: we'll see how it plays out. I think anything over

3030
02:32:29,480 --> 02:32:31,000
Speaker 12: a field goal, I think it's more than fifty to

3031
02:32:31,040 --> 02:32:32,640
Speaker 12: fifty kind of game. Will see it plays.

3032
02:32:32,440 --> 02:32:37,120
Speaker 3: Out all right, quickly while we have you.

3033
02:32:38,600 --> 02:32:43,640
Speaker 2: The NFL kicks off Thursday, because Thursday, so let's.

3034
02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:43,800
Speaker 3: Look at it.

3035
02:32:44,360 --> 02:32:46,880
Speaker 2: Uh, Let's look at both these games Thursday and Friday,

3036
02:32:46,920 --> 02:32:49,320
Speaker 2: because then we'll have you next Saturday for the as

3037
02:32:49,400 --> 02:32:53,200
Speaker 2: we get our routine. So let's look at Thursday and Friday. Thursday. First,

3038
02:32:54,240 --> 02:32:58,280
Speaker 2: I will tell you I love the over in Thursday night.

3039
02:32:59,600 --> 02:33:03,880
Speaker 2: I know that without Snead, their Chiefs defense is going

3040
02:33:04,040 --> 02:33:06,160
Speaker 2: to be a work in progress.

3041
02:33:06,360 --> 02:33:07,040
Speaker 3: I was told that.

3042
02:33:07,640 --> 02:33:11,960
Speaker 2: I think that there and I think Baltimore's defense is

3043
02:33:12,040 --> 02:33:15,960
Speaker 2: going to be a work in progress. And we were

3044
02:33:16,040 --> 02:33:18,640
Speaker 2: talking about it earlier fifteen and I both love worthy

3045
02:33:19,720 --> 02:33:20,400
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs.

3046
02:33:21,400 --> 02:33:23,320
Speaker 3: I like over in that game.

3047
02:33:24,360 --> 02:33:26,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, I agree with you. It's sitting around forty six

3048
02:33:26,480 --> 02:33:28,199
Speaker 12: forty six and a half. I agree with you that, Anthony.

3049
02:33:28,200 --> 02:33:30,560
Speaker 12: I also I did bet the Chiefs laying two and

3050
02:33:30,600 --> 02:33:32,960
Speaker 12: a half. You can still find the two and a

3051
02:33:32,959 --> 02:33:36,440
Speaker 12: half plan, Jers. I think the Chiefs listen it's interesting.

3052
02:33:36,520 --> 02:33:38,640
Speaker 12: I think the Chiefs are actually going to be a

3053
02:33:38,720 --> 02:33:40,680
Speaker 12: better team this year. Maybe they were last year, and

3054
02:33:40,760 --> 02:33:43,000
Speaker 12: especially on the offensive side of the ball. Let's look

3055
02:33:43,040 --> 02:33:45,280
Speaker 12: what they've done. I mean, they did add Worthy, who's

3056
02:33:45,320 --> 02:33:48,040
Speaker 12: a you know, a real they have a potentially a

3057
02:33:48,080 --> 02:33:51,280
Speaker 12: real difference maker. And they did add Hollywood Brown, another

3058
02:33:51,480 --> 02:33:55,920
Speaker 12: potential real receiver to go with Rachie Rice and Travis Kelsey.

3059
02:33:56,879 --> 02:33:59,560
Speaker 12: I love the check out running back and I agree

3060
02:33:59,560 --> 02:34:03,000
Speaker 12: with you. Even had some real hits defensively, obviously tragically,

3061
02:34:03,200 --> 02:34:05,240
Speaker 12: so it was sad to hear the coach just passed

3062
02:34:05,280 --> 02:34:10,360
Speaker 12: away the defensive coordinator, which obviously was awful news. And

3063
02:34:11,360 --> 02:34:15,480
Speaker 12: to me again, I think both offenses should have success

3064
02:34:15,520 --> 02:34:18,560
Speaker 12: in this one. I agree with you. I wouldn't be surprised, Anthony.

3065
02:34:18,560 --> 02:34:20,440
Speaker 12: I agree with you if this game's played into the

3066
02:34:20,480 --> 02:34:23,080
Speaker 12: mid fifties. I think mid forties the old total is

3067
02:34:23,080 --> 02:34:24,880
Speaker 12: too low. I do agree with you. And it's funny.

3068
02:34:25,400 --> 02:34:27,640
Speaker 12: Maybe we've seen it with Kansas City and you've always

3069
02:34:27,680 --> 02:34:30,600
Speaker 12: told me it and you've been spot on Kansas City.

3070
02:34:30,640 --> 02:34:33,440
Speaker 12: And it's funny the way it's almost like Spags doesn't

3071
02:34:33,480 --> 02:34:36,320
Speaker 12: on purpose. I know he doesn't, but it's almost like

3072
02:34:36,400 --> 02:34:39,560
Speaker 12: he starts off slow, like it's like the Belmont Stakes,

3073
02:34:39,600 --> 02:34:42,560
Speaker 12: Like I don't care about the beginning first order, first hand,

3074
02:34:42,560 --> 02:34:44,600
Speaker 12: you know, But towards the end, we're going to be great.

3075
02:34:44,760 --> 02:34:46,480
Speaker 12: And he always is. You say, you want to say.

3076
02:34:46,400 --> 02:34:49,600
Speaker 2: About it, that's a product of what they give him.

3077
02:34:49,840 --> 02:34:53,600
Speaker 2: They don't give him anything, and he has to develop them.

3078
02:34:54,120 --> 02:34:56,720
Speaker 2: He's a great device. He's one of the greatest coaches

3079
02:34:56,800 --> 02:34:59,000
Speaker 2: that develops twent on that side.

3080
02:34:58,800 --> 02:34:59,160
Speaker 3: Of the ball.

3081
02:35:01,360 --> 02:35:03,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, and it's interesting to look again. I would love

3082
02:35:03,120 --> 02:35:05,120
Speaker 12: to know. He's always one of those guys, you know.

3083
02:35:05,160 --> 02:35:08,400
Speaker 12: I know he didn't have success the head coach, would

3084
02:35:08,440 --> 02:35:10,120
Speaker 12: love to know if he got another chance. You know,

3085
02:35:10,240 --> 02:35:11,480
Speaker 12: sometimes you just get to kitch in the hold of

3086
02:35:11,600 --> 02:35:13,680
Speaker 12: a certain thing. But to me, you look at the

3087
02:35:13,760 --> 02:35:18,800
Speaker 12: success he's had in Kansas City, it's been absolutely like staggering.

3088
02:35:19,080 --> 02:35:21,840
Speaker 12: I mean, it's like I mean, it's it's unbelievable. And

3089
02:35:22,080 --> 02:35:24,480
Speaker 12: I would I would just love for you know, selfish reasons.

3090
02:35:24,640 --> 02:35:26,200
Speaker 12: I like, I always root for the guy, for him

3091
02:35:26,240 --> 02:35:27,959
Speaker 12: to getting their chance at up being a head coach

3092
02:35:27,959 --> 02:35:30,080
Speaker 12: because I have so much respect to the job he's done.

3093
02:35:30,400 --> 02:35:32,280
Speaker 12: But Anthony, I do agree with your take on that game,

3094
02:35:32,360 --> 02:35:34,160
Speaker 12: and I also did like I do like Kansas City.

3095
02:35:34,240 --> 02:35:37,840
Speaker 12: I think, look, they beat them obviously in the playoff

3096
02:35:37,840 --> 02:35:40,400
Speaker 12: game last year. I just think they're better than Baltimore.

3097
02:35:40,879 --> 02:35:42,440
Speaker 12: But just way i've bet Baltimore and eleven and a

3098
02:35:42,440 --> 02:35:44,080
Speaker 12: half wins is down at ten and a half. I

3099
02:35:44,160 --> 02:35:46,080
Speaker 12: didn't bet Kansas City over eleven and a half wins,

3100
02:35:46,080 --> 02:35:48,320
Speaker 12: but I definitely mean that way. And you can lay

3101
02:35:48,360 --> 02:35:50,320
Speaker 12: less than a field goal. Again, I think I have

3102
02:35:50,400 --> 02:35:52,680
Speaker 12: the better team at home. I think they win this

3103
02:35:52,800 --> 02:35:55,199
Speaker 12: game as well and cover.

3104
02:35:56,600 --> 02:36:00,560
Speaker 2: Like last thing, because we got to roll Eagles Packers

3105
02:36:00,720 --> 02:36:02,039
Speaker 2: Friday night Brazil.

3106
02:36:03,040 --> 02:36:04,840
Speaker 3: How do you handicap that at tough game?

3107
02:36:05,080 --> 02:36:07,760
Speaker 12: You know, you know it's interesting. Anthony and I we

3108
02:36:07,879 --> 02:36:11,480
Speaker 12: haven't really talked about this game, but I again, you

3109
02:36:11,560 --> 02:36:13,680
Speaker 12: talk about the over in the other game. This game,

3110
02:36:13,760 --> 02:36:16,000
Speaker 12: this total opened at like fifty two. It's been beat

3111
02:36:16,040 --> 02:36:19,000
Speaker 12: down in like forty eight. But I'm actually lead over.

3112
02:36:20,440 --> 02:36:23,560
Speaker 12: I think Philadelphia's offense can have success. Again. I think

3113
02:36:23,560 --> 02:36:25,280
Speaker 12: both teams are gonna score in the mid twenties. It's

3114
02:36:25,280 --> 02:36:30,640
Speaker 12: really that I really do Green Bay. I Jordan love small,

3115
02:36:30,800 --> 02:36:33,320
Speaker 12: the small sambal sizes, but he carved up the Eagles

3116
02:36:33,320 --> 02:36:35,320
Speaker 12: when he faced them on that Sunday night a few

3117
02:36:35,400 --> 02:36:37,640
Speaker 12: years ago. Jordan loved the second half of the year.

3118
02:36:37,720 --> 02:36:41,160
Speaker 12: Last year was phenomenal. I think they're gonna score points.

3119
02:36:41,360 --> 02:36:44,080
Speaker 12: I do, and I trust the Eagles offense right now.

3120
02:36:44,280 --> 02:36:47,360
Speaker 12: I think they can score points. Be interesting what Kellen

3121
02:36:47,440 --> 02:36:49,360
Speaker 12: Moore does there, but I think they're gonna score I

3122
02:36:49,440 --> 02:36:51,320
Speaker 12: think both teams score twenty four. And if both teams

3123
02:36:51,320 --> 02:36:53,320
Speaker 12: score twenty four, it's gonna be hard to go under

3124
02:36:53,360 --> 02:36:53,760
Speaker 12: forty eight.

3125
02:36:54,600 --> 02:36:55,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it.

3126
02:36:55,840 --> 02:37:00,520
Speaker 2: I like it all right, Brain, enjoy it today. I

02:38:03,680 --> 02:38:06,120
Speaker 4: the goosebumps dude, Like I've had goosebumps all morning just

3145
02:38:06,200 --> 02:38:08,920
Speaker 4: talking about like what today is gonna be like just

3146
02:38:09,080 --> 02:38:14,560
Speaker 4: knowing that you know, there's between big noon and and

3147
02:38:14,840 --> 02:38:17,480
Speaker 4: game day and what the experience like this is that

3148
02:38:17,680 --> 02:38:21,080
Speaker 4: week where everybody's watching everything and we're salivating over all,

3149
02:38:21,480 --> 02:38:24,720
Speaker 4: Like I just yeah, my god, it's just it is

3150
02:38:24,920 --> 02:38:28,000
Speaker 4: so stunning. And like I said earlier, like Miami Florida

3151
02:38:28,360 --> 02:38:30,600
Speaker 4: is a buried matchup, but you bet your butt at

3152
02:38:30,680 --> 02:38:34,360
Speaker 4: three point thirty, everybody's gonna be sitting there just in

3153
02:38:34,480 --> 02:38:37,080
Speaker 4: the fields watching that one. It's just oh man, he.

3154
02:38:39,720 --> 02:38:40,200
Speaker 3: Brought up.

3155
02:38:41,280 --> 02:38:43,119
Speaker 2: He said, you know, could it be that all three

3156
02:38:43,560 --> 02:38:51,160
Speaker 2: Florida teams look for new coaches? Oh my god, yeah, Florida, Yeah, yeah, Miami,

3157
02:38:51,720 --> 02:38:54,520
Speaker 2: if you don't do well this year, hot seat and

3158
02:38:54,800 --> 02:38:55,959
Speaker 2: Florida state hot seat.

3159
02:38:57,600 --> 02:39:00,120
Speaker 4: Golly man, that would be that would be insane. And

3160
02:39:00,760 --> 02:39:03,920
Speaker 4: it's weird because I want to believe in Billy Napier

3161
02:39:03,920 --> 02:39:07,640
Speaker 4: at Florida, I really do. I don't think Billy Napier

3162
02:39:07,760 --> 02:39:10,320
Speaker 4: is a bad coach. I just think Florida's schedule is

3163
02:39:10,360 --> 02:39:12,320
Speaker 4: going to give them six losses. I just I can't

3164
02:39:12,320 --> 02:39:14,720
Speaker 4: find a way not to get them six losses. And

3165
02:39:15,240 --> 02:39:17,960
Speaker 4: it's just what do you do then? And if you're Florida,

3166
02:39:18,360 --> 02:39:20,280
Speaker 4: if you're a Gators alumni, you got to accept that

3167
02:39:20,360 --> 02:39:23,080
Speaker 4: your team is suddenly what the tenth best team in

3168
02:39:23,120 --> 02:39:25,240
Speaker 4: the SEC? My god, Like, that's just not gonna run

3169
02:39:25,320 --> 02:39:27,560
Speaker 4: for wealth. So I don't know the answer for that.

3170
02:39:27,680 --> 02:39:30,600
Speaker 4: That's heartbreaking for Billy Napier because I never root for

3171
02:39:30,680 --> 02:39:32,680
Speaker 4: coaches to get fired, but I think it's inevitable there.

3172
02:39:33,480 --> 02:39:37,240
Speaker 3: I know, no, I know, I feel you give me

3173
02:39:37,360 --> 02:39:40,160
Speaker 3: your lay of the land of what you're going to

3174
02:39:40,200 --> 02:39:40,800
Speaker 3: be doing today.

3175
02:39:42,959 --> 02:39:45,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, I'll be meeting some buddies, so

3176
02:39:45,760 --> 02:39:48,280
Speaker 4: look as soon as we as soon as we disconnect here,

3177
02:39:48,640 --> 02:39:50,960
Speaker 4: I will run to the gym because I gotta get

3178
02:39:50,959 --> 02:39:54,160
Speaker 4: my workout in and that's not noncompromisable. So I'll get

3179
02:39:54,200 --> 02:39:56,720
Speaker 4: my I'll get my pull day in at the gym

3180
02:39:56,760 --> 02:39:59,400
Speaker 4: because I'm a fitness god. Now and then I will

3181
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:03,120
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna watch opening kickoff. Yeah, I know

3182
02:40:03,200 --> 02:40:05,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna watch the opening kickoff at home

3183
02:40:06,400 --> 02:40:09,119
Speaker 4: and just sort of experience that, and then I'm gonna
