1
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: So one of the things you need to know about

2
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: Pete State here is when officiating goes off the rails.

3
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: We're really, really sourced up when it comes to officials.

4
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: A mind boggling amount of college football officials watched the show.

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: We're in contact with him. I talk to him every Saturday. So,

6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: as you may or may not have noticed, but probably

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: did yesterday, officiating was an unmitigated disaster in many big games.

8
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Do I have things to say about that? Yes? I do.

9
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: It is Sunday night at September twenty first, the Year

10
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: of Our Lord, twenty twenty five, jam packed high a

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: top just spectacular downtown Nashville, Tennessee full reaction Sunday. Clemson

12
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: has imploded, Clemson has fallen, Miami has risen Indiana. I

13
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: don't even know why I resisted Kurt Signetti. I don't

14
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: know why I've done it for so long. But no more,

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: no more resistance. I'm just gonna I will blindly follow

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: wherever he leads from now on the ap pole, kind

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: of taking a back seat to being broken on the

18
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: scale of brokenness relative to officiating. But yeah, I've got

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: some odds and ends. I got some bones to pick

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: with the ap pole as well. But I also have

21
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: some best bets rom Miindudle Express. Back above five hundred.

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: We are back amongst the winning, not that we were

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: ever amongst the losing. We were just at five hundred

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: for a little while. We didn't want that, so we

25
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: got that. I've got a big time tour announcement. Dare

26
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: I say, dare I say? Jesse tour announcements. We'll see

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: how it goes. Yeah, we've got like fifteen or twenty

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: minutes to change our minds. We'll see they're watching us

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: in Roanoke, Virginia, Las Vegas, Nevada, Knoxville, Tennessee, Laredo, Texas.

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: I chugged an entire cup of coffee right before we

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: came on air. That's where I went, Bradley, that's what

32
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: had you worried that we weren't going to start the

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: show on time. So during the segment here, energy should

34
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: pick up substantially. I don't know what more to tell

35
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: you if you're not watching or you're not following on Instagram.

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Yesterday's story. Yesterday's Instagram story was about as lively as

37
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: any that I can remember. We were at the Nebraska game.

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that a little bit later. But just

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff I can show you there

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: that I don't have time to show you on the show.

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: You got to be following there to see it at

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Josh Pate CFB. And if you don't care about that,

43
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: then you don't need to follow. That's okay too. But man,

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: we got a loaded show. Jam pack shows suspiciously jam packed,

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: I would say, So let's dive into it. Where would

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: you start the show tonight? It's the kind of show

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: where three or four games could have been the first

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: one we talked about. But for me, nope, for me,

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: I knew where I was starting. Syracuse thirty four, Clemson

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty one two Chili on the one to five scale

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: of viewability. Here there was a rain delay. Seems everyone's

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: getting in on the rain delay action these days, says

53
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Miami even played a game without rain, So Clemson gets

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: rain delayed, but it did not delay the inevitable. We

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: made Syracuse the first bet we placed last week on

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: the show. You remember a week ago this night, a

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: week ago tonight, we bet Syracuse. I was just dumbfounded

58
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: that they were getting seventeen and a half because we

59
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: thought that Steve Angeli was the better quarterback in the

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: game and elsewhere. We just trusted fran Brown. I mean,

61
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: it's that simple. Some were worried throughout the week that

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: Dabbo's press conference and his statements were gonna fire that

63
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: team up. It was gonna provide a spark. And I

64
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: didn't say this on the show, but I said it

65
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: off the air, which I should get credit for in retrospect,

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: I said, what spark? What are you gonna spark? There's

67
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: no unknown. There's no unknown about the team. Everything's known.

68
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: It's a known commodity. I won't go as far as

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: to say it's a proven commodity. Clemson is a known commodity.

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: All these players returned. There's no mystery, there's no trance.

71
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: We know we know. There's no transfer portal infusion here.

72
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: In fact, one of the few dips into the portal

73
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: you made. It's actually one of the few bright spots

74
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: on the team. But there's no big portal infusion. We're

75
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: waiting for the magic click moment on. There aren't a

76
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: bunch of true freshmen all over the place, so I

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: always thought that was a little dumb. Last week, I

78
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: didn't think Dabo was talking to his team. I thought

79
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: he was talking to Oh, I don't know, maybe some

80
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: of the sweater vests around Clemson that have gotten a

81
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: little too used to winning. You would call those boosters,

82
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: and it needed to remind them how great he was.

83
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: Dabo's very good at that. Now I'm not taking shot.

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking a little bit of a shot at Dabbo there.

85
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 1: But it's all in good fun because I love Dabo's twenty.

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: But it's not a good time at Clemson. So let's

87
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: talk about this. But we talked about winners first. So

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: Syracuse firmly believed on this show at least they had

89
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: the better quarterback and Steve Angeli if you watched this

90
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: game yesterday, surgical unfortunately actually will have to undergo surgery.

91
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: He tore his achilles in this game. He is out

92
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: for the year. The school confirmed that today. That's terrible.

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anyone ever wants to get hurt, but man,

94
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get hurt, that right there, you want

95
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: that to be the last page in last chapter of

96
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: your season's book. Because he torched Clemson, and they looked

97
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: like they wanted it more. At Syracuse, they played harder

98
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: they were more prepared. I had Clemson players, former Clemson

99
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: players texting me this throughout the game, like, look, how

100
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: more prepared they are than us? And just full disclosure here,

101
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: these are people who would ride to the ends of

102
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: the earth for that Tiger Paul and for Dabos Twinny.

103
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: But they were just stating the obvious. A team, yet again,

104
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: came into Clemson's building and just pushed him around. And

105
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: we're not talking about vintage Alabama. We're not talking about

106
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: Kirby's Georgia and Ryan days Ohio State. We're talking about

107
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: Louisville last year. We're talking about an LSU team with

108
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: a slightly hobbled quarterback to start the season, and we're

109
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: talking about Syracuse. So we good, Bradley, I just want

110
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: to make sure before I continue to talk. Yeah, we

111
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: are good. Okay. I don't care that they know I'm

112
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: wearing joggers, so that's fine with me. You can take

113
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: the lower thirds away. But man, this happened again all

114
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: too often. Dabbo last week said why are we held

115
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: to a different standard? You remember this, Daba said, why

116
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: are we held to a different standard than teams that

117
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: haven't done anything? Teams that have done nothing. To use

118
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: his exact words, well, because you've done something and you

119
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: set the standard there and now Clemson's fallen well short

120
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: of it. Not just this season, but it's been a

121
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: little while. This has been a pretty familiar theme. The

122
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: biggest dagger to the chest when it comes to Clemson

123
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: is not only how frequently now people are just coming

124
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: into your own building and pushing you around. Louisville came

125
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: in there and did whatever they wanted last year. Syracuse

126
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: came in there, did whatever they wanted yesterday. But it's

127
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: that FSU imploded last year. We've got case study after

128
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: case study of teams imploding and not coming close to

129
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: fulfilling on preseason expectation. Oh yeah, Florida State did it

130
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: last year. Here's what the dagger to the chest is.

131
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: If you're a Clemson fan, you know as well as

132
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: I do, that Florida State team was thrown together from

133
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: the portal. This Clemson team is completely homegrown. This is

134
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: a completely homegrown, veteran leadership, returning starters all over the place,

135
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: multi year coaching staff, continuity type Clemson team. And it's

136
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: not quite dead on arrival, but it's pretty close. In fact,

137
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: as the Clemson standard goes, which contrary to what Debo says,

138
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: I do have for them much higher than most teams.

139
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: As that thing goes. As the Clemson standard goes, it's

140
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: dead on arrival. And I don't know that there's any

141
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: skill in predicting how this is going to go. I

142
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: was talking to someone pretty in touch with that program

143
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: earlier today. They weren't trashed in daboswenty. I'm never going

144
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: to trash Dabo Swenny. They weren't doing anything like that.

145
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people will do that because frankly, the

146
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: guy's a winner, and he's won a whole lot, and

147
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pent up frustration of shots that

148
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: people have wanted to take it him for a long

149
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: time that they only just now get to take. So

150
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: I get all that. I'm not going to traffic in it.

151
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: What I will say is, I don't think there's any

152
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: skill in trying to predict how this goes. What I

153
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: mean is this season's probably going to be a wash.

154
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: Forget the season for a second, the Dabbo Clemson era.

155
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of it still. So it's twenty

156
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: twenty five, So pretend it's two thousand and forty five,

157
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: I assume he's not at Clemson anymore. But when we're

158
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: looking back in twenty forty five at the year twenty

159
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: twenty five, what are the twenty forty five versions of

160
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: us saying. Are we saying, man, we didn't quite know

161
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: it yet, but that was his last season there. Or

162
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: are we saying we didn't quite know it yet, but

163
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: that was the beginning of a multi year slide down

164
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: a slippery slope that led to all kinds of turmoil

165
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: and unrest and uneasiness and a bitter dispute that led

166
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: to a bitter divorce two years later. Or are we saying,

167
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: can you believe how dead in the water Clemson looked

168
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, and then Dabbo just completely reinvented

169
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: himself and pulled the nose up, and they won the

170
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: title in twenty twenty seven and went to the semi

171
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: finally again the next two years. Any of these things

172
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: to me are on the table. I don't know. I

173
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: will tell you what I haven't seen him do. I

174
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: wrote down some terms that came out of his mouth

175
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: ten years ago. Some of you will remember his famous

176
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: bell curve analogy as it related to college football, reinvent, reinvest, reset,

177
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: learn and grow. I'm not saying he's forgotten it. I'm

178
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: saying I don't see a whole lot of it around there.

179
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: And it's mandatory. It's just as mandatory now as it

180
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: was then. Dabo Swiney wants ahead of curves in college football,

181
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: wants ahead of the wave. Then riding the wave has

182
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: now had to wave hit him in the face and

183
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: he's got salt water in his eyes and he's struggling

184
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: to clear his nostrils out, and there's another one coming.

185
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: That's the way this works. The moment you're sitting still

186
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: in the ocean and you're getting battered, and he's sitting

187
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: still in the ocean. Clemings. Clemson's just sitting still in

188
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: the ocean and they're getting battered. So I give all

189
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: the credit in the world to fran Brown, because I'm

190
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: telling you, if they played another team like that yesterday,

191
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: Clemson would have out talented them and they would have won.

192
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: So you give all the credit in the world to

193
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: the visiting team that came in there scores on side kick.

194
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: I think Clemson was down ten to Ozho before they

195
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: ever even touched the ball, so credit credit credit to

196
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: Fran Brown. And there are some jobs that are about

197
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: to open up. This is the part Syracuse folks don't

198
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: want to listen to. Although you've got to be realistic. Man,

199
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: when your coach is this good, he's going to be

200
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: in the conversation. But there are going to be some

201
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: jobs that open up. You know how every time there's

202
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: a coaching search, there are some names out there that

203
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: are prominent and just agents doing a good job, basically

204
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: search firms doing a good job. There are some names

205
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: that are prominent. Then there are other names that seem

206
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: like common sense friend, Kurt Signidti. But there's this voice

207
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: in the back of your head, and your administration feels

208
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: the same way. There's this voice in the back of

209
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: their head that says, ah, yeah, but I don't know.

210
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: Why don't you know? Why don't you know about Fran Brown?

211
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: What do you need to know about Fran Brown? He's

212
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: up there in uh He's up in rural New York.

213
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: He's up in upstate New York and just taking Clemson

214
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: to the woodshed. Not in whatever the carrier dome is

215
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: called now, Not in that place. No, in Death Valley,

216
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: the building formerly known as Death Valley. Now now it's

217
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: just a pretty welcoming environment for inferior rosters. Because not

218
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: even Fran Brown's gonna sit here and tell you, yeah,

219
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: manpower man for man, I got equal athletes to them. No,

220
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: he's just got a better football team, got a better

221
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: football team. And unlike some of these results where I

222
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: look at it and say that seems just a little

223
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: bit flucish, I bet if that game were to have

224
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: happened tomorrow, so and so would be favored. This is

225
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: just not one of them. And truthfully, I didn't even

226
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: feel that way going into the game. I loved Syracuse

227
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half point dog, and we were talking

228
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: about it on the show last week. If you were

229
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: following me on Twitter, I said, in the middle of

230
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: the game, I cannot believe they were given that many

231
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: points with the better quarterback. I didn't know they'd have

232
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: the more prepared team. That would have been helpful context.

233
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we did cash in on Syracuse yesterday.

234
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: I don't know where it goes from here with Clemson,

235
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: but those words reinvent, reinvest, reset, learn and grow. Does

236
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: anyone feel like that's the modus operandi at Clemson right now.

237
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're just they're just mailing it into

238
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: cash checks over there. I know a lot of people

239
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: in that building. I know a lot of people in

240
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: that program. They're working just as hard as anyone else.

241
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: They want it just as bad as anyone else. There's

242
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: just a lot of staleness to that place relative to

243
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: other places. I'll say that there's just a lot. It

244
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: just feels stale from the outside. I don't know. We

245
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: weren't there yesterday. We were in Lincoln, Nebraska, which i'll

246
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: tell you about in a little while. I'm very fortunate

247
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: not to be more sunburned than I am. Had a

248
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: great time up there, quick trip fueling the fall don't

249
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: lie to her, and we went there yesterday. Prez is

250
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: working on the all access reel. We'll have that on

251
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: the social channels in the next day or so if

252
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: you haven't been following there By the way, I've been

253
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: doing this every year, I figured why not take one

254
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: of the staffers and sort of capture a lot of

255
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: behind the scenes stuff and put it together, add some

256
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: nice royalty free music as an audio bed, and just

257
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: release it for the masses. So we've been doing that

258
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, what I did want to do

259
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: is I did want to take the time tonight to

260
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: announce where we're gonna go in week number five. Now,

261
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: if you have looked at the schedule, you know this

262
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: may be the most loaded week of the season. I

263
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: don't want to speak out of turn, but this may

264
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: be the most loaded week of the season. The noon

265
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: window has some monster games. The three point thirty window

266
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: has some monster games. The night window of always has

267
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: monster games. This is the week, by the way, that

268
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: Oregon and Penn State and Alabama Georgia kickoff at the

269
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: same time. This is the week that LSU goes to

270
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: Ole Miss, which would have been slam dunk like no debate,

271
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the day yesterday, and it's gonna

272
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: be undercard status at best. We've got so many big games,

273
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: so as you know, these days, we are blessed with

274
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do multiple games in the same day.

275
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm not taking advantage of that this week.

276
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do an early game, We're gonna do

277
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: a late game. The question is, well, how do we

278
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: split it up. Well, I'll tell you how We're gonna

279
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: split it up. I've never seen USC play a football

280
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: game in person. That drought ends this Saturday. I have

281
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: never been to the University of Illinois. That drought ends

282
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: this Saturday. We will begin our day in Champagne, Illinois.

283
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Cowhard is going to be there. I think he told

284
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: me last week. So USC at Illinois, and then we

285
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: will hop down to Athens, GA primetime kickoff Alabama versus Georgia.

286
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: Champagne Athens, back to Nashville sometime later that night or

287
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: early the next morning. Gonna be a monster, monster week.

288
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: Wi FI on the plane has never been more mandatory

289
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: than it is this week. I am looking so forward

290
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: to this. Somewhere out there, one or two of our

291
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: brothers are being dragged to a wedding this Saturday. And

292
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: I want you to say or I want you to know.

293
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: Don't say anything. It's too late to say anything. I

294
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: want you to know. You're in our thoughts, You're in

295
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: our prayers. But this is your fault. I don't I

296
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: feel bad you say you're having fall wedding problems. I

297
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: feel bad for you. Son. Finish it, Bradley, I can't

298
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: do it. Finish it. Okay, Let's continue Oklahoma Auburn was

299
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: a disaster yesterday, not the outcome. Hey, we picked Oklahoma

300
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: to win and cover, and how in the world did

301
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: we get that safety late? I'll never know. That's the

302
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: least of anyone's worries when it comes to this game,

303
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: proudly presented by Academy Sports and Outdoors. We give this

304
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: game two and a half chali for a close game.

305
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: It was very oh as me mom would say, herky jerky.

306
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: So I know what everyone wants to talk about, and

307
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: it's officiating. I feel you, as the future commissioner of

308
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: this sport, I will clean this up, but I can't tonight.

309
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: But what I can do is tell you I acknowledge

310
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: that officiating was an unmitigated disaster in this game, to

311
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: the point where I am going to talk about it

312
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: in its own segment later in this show. So if

313
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: you're watching this individual video on YouTube, first off, please

314
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: watch the entire show. But even if you don't go

315
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: back to the channel, you'll probably find an individual video

316
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: just about officiating. That's how bad officiating was in this game.

317
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: So I do want to talk about the game itself.

318
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: I do have a padlock stat for the game. Okay,

319
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: padlock stats. For those of you who are new around here,

320
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: and there are tens of thousands of you who are new, welcome.

321
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: Padlock stats the kind of thing where if someone told

322
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: me this on Friday, I think I would know how

323
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: the game was going to go. So there were a

324
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: combined sixteen drives in this game of fifteen yards or less.

325
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: We call that under fuel in the betting world. There

326
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: were ten three and outs. We also call that under

327
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: fuel in the betting world. But if you want the

328
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: padlock stat as far as a team goes, I've got

329
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: one for the University of Oklahoma. When you sacked the

330
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: opposing quarterback ten times, things go pretty well for you.

331
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: Fourteen tackles for loss. There are only forty six teams

332
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: with that mini sacks the entire season. Oklahoma, I want

333
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: to repeat for those in the back, or for those

334
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: driving around tomorrow morning. Maybe you're driving a bush route

335
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: FedEx trucks a little loud, you're at an intersection. You

336
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: didn't quite hear what I said. Oklahoma had more sacks

337
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: yesterday than what was it, Jesse, Like one hundred and

338
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: something teams or eighty something teams have had, ninety teams

339
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: have had all year and that was a very, very

340
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: not fun day for Jackson Arnold and his homecoming. This

341
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: is an elite defense that Oklahoma has. I remember preseason,

342
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: I was all excited about John Matteer and I was saying,

343
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna win the Heigs when I think

344
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: Oklahoma they could challenge for a playoff spot even with

345
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: this tough schedule, they could challenge for a trip to Atlanta,

346
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: even with this tough schedule. And remember I kept saying,

347
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: I just need him, conservatively to be a top twenty defense.

348
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: Well I've got that and then some and that I

349
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: think was on display for most of the world to

350
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: see yesterday and in the Michigan game. But the other

351
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: thing that I kept coming back to is even when

352
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: John Matteer's stat line does not blow you away, he's

353
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: a winner. I don't know how else to say it.

354
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: He's just a winner. I used to feel this way

355
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: about Jalen Hurts, who ended up getting benched in college football,

356
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: but then came off the bench to win an SEC championship,

357
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: went to Oklahoma and did big things. I'm told he

358
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl last year. A little out of

359
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: my purview, but I used to think when all else failed.

360
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: When I was predicting a game with Bama or Oklahoma,

361
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: when Jalen Hurts was there, I just thought he was

362
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: such a winner that a core part of my prediction

363
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: is they've got Jalen Hurts on that team, it's hard

364
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: to beat him. I kind of think that way about

365
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: John Mattire. It's hard to beat John mattere to where

366
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: if it's fifty two forty eight, fifty one, forty nine

367
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: in my head either way, that will put me over

368
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: the fence to the other side. The quarterback profile in

369
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: this game played out about like we expected it to.

370
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: If you remember the preview video, this was always going

371
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: to be an uphill battle for Jackson Arnold. I was

372
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: never convinced that he was going to win this game

373
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: running the ball. He beat Baylor running the ball. He

374
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: was never gonna beat Brent Vnables. I didn't think Auburn

375
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: was gonna beat Brent Venables running the ball, and they didn't.

376
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: I also didn't think we could trust him throwing the

377
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: ball over the middle. And you know what, he ripped

378
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: one over the middle yesterday and I watched it and I said,

379
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: good for him, man. And then I watched one basically

380
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: hit a defender in then a few plays later I

381
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: think it may have been the same drive and I

382
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, I remember now. But he had

383
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: no time. This is not a Jackson Arnold loss at all.

384
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: It's not a Jackson Arnold bashed fest at all. The

385
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: guy just had no time. But even when he did,

386
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to completely just trash that offensive line.

387
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: Although Oklahoma did thoroughly enough yesterday, there were other times dude,

388
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: Jackson Owl was just standing there first read not open frozen.

389
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: And that's not surprising when you consider some of his

390
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: issues last year. How hard it is to develop a

391
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: quarterback period in this game right now, unless you're you know,

392
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetty, in which case, whoever plays for he was

393
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: just a star lane Kiffin. My starter's hurt, my backup

394
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 1: is probably gonna take my starter's job. Oh, by the way,

395
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: he played at Farris State last year. Now, those are

396
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: the exceptions to the rule. The general rule is this

397
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: is not supposed to be easy. Oklahoma limited the explosive plays,

398
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: and everything else aside from one or two was either

399
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: down around the line of scrimmage or it will a

400
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: jump ball to an alien cam Coleman. That was Auburn's route,

401
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: and you know what, they actually were in the game

402
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: using that route. But it was never gonna be conventional,

403
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: It was never gonna be pretty. There was never gonna

404
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: be really any rhythmic nature to the offensive effort. Auburn's

405
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: profile is not that. Their quarterback profile is not that.

406
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: Right now, Oklahoma got the job done again. I know

407
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: a million different people have a million different takes about

408
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: the officiating in this game. As I told you and

409
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: I'll tell you again, it is so bad. You're so

410
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: right about it. I'm gonna give it its own segment

411
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: later in the show. But as for Oklahoma, man, they

412
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: needed this so bad now. Offensively, there are still concerns

413
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: with this team mateir is their best rusher in big

414
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: games right now. I'm not sure what the Jaden Ought

415
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: experiment is or whether it's over, or what's gonna happen

416
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: with that. I don't know, but their tailbacks are still

417
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: under three point five yards per carry. I had an

418
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: ou buddy that hit me up and said, hey, we

419
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: lose this game the last few years. You know what,

420
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that's all that needed to be said about last night.

421
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: He's right, he's right. Last few years under Venables, in

422
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: that kind of game, they'd find a way to lose it.

423
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: He's right, and they didn't because they had the best

424
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: player on the field happens to be their quarterback. Got

425
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 1: some pretty darn good players on defense too. It's going

426
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: to be a gut check week for Auburn because this

427
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: was the week where they went on the road to Oklahoma.

428
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 1: Remember Texas, A and m' is just sitting in college

429
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: station waiting for him. I think A and M was

430
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: on a by yesterday. And so not only is it

431
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: a back to back road stretch for Auburn, they go

432
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: play a rested team in their building, which again is

433
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: ludicrous from a schedule making perspective. But I don't do

434
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: the schedules yet. When I do, we'll be okay. But

435
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: I don't do him yet. Now they're playing an A

436
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: and M defense that seems to be more vulnerable, seems

437
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: to be more vulnerable than Oklahoma. You cannot let this

438
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: loss by you twice because they leave their feeling that

439
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: they got robbed. Whether you agree with that or not,

440
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that's how they left their feeling. It's

441
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: a terrible scheduling break there. I think a seven and

442
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: a half point dog something around a touchdown on the

443
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: road at A and M. It's a gut check time.

444
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: It is not gonna get any easier. I mean, they've

445
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: still got Georgia coming up, they still got Bama coming up,

446
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: They've got all those games still coming up. So it's

447
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: not gonna get any easier. But congrats to Oklahoma. I

448
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: do agree with my OU buddy. They would have lost

449
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: that game last year. Now, those were the two they

450
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: had to have, all right. So remember that that wild

451
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: prediction we had in the preseason where OU was gonna

452
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: be undefeated facing a one or two lost Texas team

453
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: in the Red River shootout known by no other name

454
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: on this show. Well, OU is gonna be undefeated. Now

455
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: we gotta find out about Texas. I think OU is

456
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: gonna be undefeated. I think all right, let's continue, let's

457
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: talk about the game I was that yesterday, Bradley. I

458
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: am taking a sip of water right quick, even though

459
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: I'm taking it out of a full jug. Thank you,

460
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: thank you. Nope, I can't name. I can't name who

461
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: I want to think for this because they haven't paid

462
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: to be thanked on air. It's publics. Though Michigan beat

463
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: Nebraska allegedly it was a close game thirty to twenty seven,

464
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: it was not a close game. I give this game

465
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: threechily on the one to five scale. There was a

466
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: Hail Mary at halftime yesterday. So anytime you get that

467
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: in a game, happen right in front of us. Anytime

468
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: we can get that in a game that's entertaining. It

469
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: was close. It was a very very raucous environment there

470
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: at Memorial Stadium. This is their twenty eight straight loss

471
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: versus a ranked team. Just not great. Here's some of

472
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: the scenes that we took in yesterday. We were on

473
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: the sideline all day. I can't keep doing this, guys.

474
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: I can keep doing that. I can go on the

475
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: road until the end of time. It's just that I've

476
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: got something wrong with me. And in the interest of

477
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: sharing intimate details of our personal lives with each other,

478
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: I want to tell you I got a Michigan problem

479
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: in my life. I keep picking against them, and I

480
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: don't know why. Some people say it's bias. I got

481
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: nothing against Michigan. I was in Michigan's locker room after

482
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: the win yesterday. I got nothing against Michigan. I promise

483
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: you that. Could the model be anti Michigan. Maybe, but

484
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: I divorced myself from the model all the time. Famously,

485
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: the model would pick Texas against the Chiefs if they

486
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: played tomorrow. So I don't. The Model's not the end

487
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: all be all in my mind. But I keep looking

488
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: at Michigan in this proven physicality, athletic profile that team has,

489
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: even in a non vintage year, playing against the team

490
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: that hasn't proven anything, and I pick against them again

491
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: and they thoroughly proved me wrong again, and I'm left

492
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: walking out of another building shaking my head. You got

493
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: to understand a lot of folks at Michigan watch the show.

494
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: I appreciate them, a lot of the coaches, a lot

495
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: of the players. And I go in the locker room

496
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: yesterday and they just look at me, and some of

497
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: them just shake their head, but others just ask like,

498
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: what's wrong? Why? How could you not see this coming?

499
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't even say anything back. What

500
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: can I say? I don't know. I cannot believe the

501
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: score was this close. Really, Look, all due respect to

502
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Nebraska and the immense respect for the program Matt Rule

503
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: that the fun we had, we were treated like royalty

504
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: up there. Oh. I appreciate that until the end of time.

505
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: But the play on the field yesterday has to stand

506
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: on its own, and I cannot believe the play on

507
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: the field dictated a score that was this close. They

508
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: were trying to execute an on sidekick minute minute and

509
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: a half left, and I was sitting there telling anyone

510
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: who could listen, how are we even in a position

511
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: with how thoroughly Michigan feels like they have steamrolled them.

512
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: This game's even still up in the air, and as

513
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: it turned out, Michigan recovers game over. But they were

514
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: ripping off explosive runs left and right. It turns out

515
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: if they just keep doing that, it's not an exception

516
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: to the rule. See. I watched Michigan rip off explosive

517
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: touchdown runs in a game I think against like New Mexico,

518
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: and then I remember saying, well, if they don't do

519
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: that against Oklahoma, it's gonna be a problem. Well, they

520
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: did lose to Oklahoma, but even in that game, they

521
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: ripped more off And then they've done it every week since,

522
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: and they did it yesterday. They had seven carries in

523
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: this game, not total, but seven of their carries yielded

524
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: two twenty one and three touchdowns on the ground. Their

525
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: longest passing play was sixteen yards. It didn't even matter

526
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: Underwood threw the ball because he kind of felt like

527
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: it every now and then didn't really even need to

528
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: in man when he got in the open field. You

529
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: remember when I don't want to do this, I'm gonna

530
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: do it whatever. There are no standards around here. You

531
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: remember when Cam got to Auburn, they played LSU early

532
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: in the year, and he pulled away from a guy

533
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: named Patrick Peterson in LSU's secondary. There were no Patrick

534
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: Peterson's Patrick Peter iye on the field yesterday for Nebraska.

535
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: But the way Bryce Underwood hit that different gear when

536
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: he got an open field reminded me of how it

537
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: put my jaw on the ground when I first saw

538
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: Cam Newton just turn it loose in the open field

539
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: early in that twenty ten season at Auburn. That is

540
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: where I will end the comparison because that's not fair.

541
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: But just a little moment in time versus moment in time,

542
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. It was a big time competitive

543
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: character sort of check from Michigan, and spoiler alert, they

544
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: still got it. They go into the half tide and

545
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: there's some very very questionable decision making. Sharon Moore's not

546
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: even there, so they don't even have their head coach there.

547
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: Probably bit them when it came to game management, clock management.

548
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: They give Nebraska an opportunity to call time out with

549
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: one second to go. Ry Ola heaves the ball to

550
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: the end zone. Of course it's not played. It is

551
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: played right by Nebraska, touchdown seventeen. All going into the

552
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: half unbelievable. I mean, we went off the field. I

553
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: was there with Will and Taylor and all the guys

554
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: from Busting with the boys. We all go off the

555
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: field up Nebraska's tunnel couldn't be more jacked. I was

556
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: not around Michigan at the half, but I have since

557
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: gotten several testimonials as to what was said over on

558
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: the Michigan side, what the attitude was like over on

559
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: the Michigan side, And the attitude was basically like, all right,

560
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: let's hydrate up, grab an uncrustable if you want strawberry grape,

561
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. Just make sure you understand you just

562
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: took a sledgehammer to their face for two quarters. If

563
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: you do it for another two quarters, the result won't

564
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: be in doubt, and they did because sure enough, this

565
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: is what good programs do. I didn't say team for

566
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: a reason. This is a program thing with Michigan. It's

567
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: a multi year it's an identity, it's a program thing.

568
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: They come out and Nebraska in the second half zero

569
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 1: rushing yards, Michigan retakes the lead by ten, and they

570
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: kept home field edge at Bay At the Stadium didn't

571
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: really matter a whole lot in the second half, not

572
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: that it wasn't loud, it just it never really reached

573
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: full throat because they never really had a reason to

574
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: in the second half. And I don't know that people

575
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: fully understand what kind of psychological toll that takes on

576
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: the other side when you have fought and you've crawled

577
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: over broken glass to find a way somehow to tie

578
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: that thing and immediately it's a two possession game again

579
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: in your home building. In the second half. Yeah, it

580
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: was trying to plug thirteen holes with ten fingers all

581
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: day for Nebraska, and namely at offensive tackle, they were powerless.

582
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: It was just brute force. There's not really a play

583
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: that you can run. To be honest with you, Dylan Ryola,

584
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 1: I don't know where he found three hundred and eight

585
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: passing yards, and that's even accounting for the hail Mary.

586
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't remember three hundred eight yards through the air,

587
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: but he had three oh eight through the air, forty one,

588
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: three touchdowns on a pick, and they had one point

589
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: four yards per carry. So they were not running the ball.

590
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: Now that is sack adjusted, but they were not running

591
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: the ball effectively at all. I mean, Ryola, Look, you

592
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: can pick apart his performance if you want to. I

593
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: don't know many quarterbacks that thrive in that kind of setting.

594
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: His offensive tackles were in his lap all day. There

595
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: were defenders meeting at his position on the field all day.

596
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't really know many people who are gonna thrive

597
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: in that environment. They're just not ready at the line

598
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, which I guess I should have I should

599
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: have been more aware of about Nebraska. I guess I hoped,

600
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: though I did let a little hope creep in in

601
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: Shawshank redemption. When Red says hope is a dangerous thing,

602
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: he's wrong. But in college football, hope can be a

603
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man to pick very

604
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: very insane outcomes on games that he has no business picking,

605
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: and I hoped my way into a corner and then

606
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: Michigan just off me in the locker again. I hate it.

607
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: I hate admitting it, but I do have a new

608
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: strategy with Michigan, and that is to just ride with

609
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: them until they predict, until they prove me wrong by losing.

610
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: Michigan needs to prove me wrong by losing, so I learned.

611
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: I learned a valuable lesson. Again yesterday some people said, oh,

612
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: you'll pick USC over US in a few weeks. I'll

613
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: just leave the game out of the show if I

614
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: think USC is gonna win. I can't keep doing this

615
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: to myself. I have got some very toxic Michigan people

616
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: in my life that abused me via text message and

617
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: give meme and all that stuff after these games, and

618
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: I can't do that to myself anymore. Honestly, going in

619
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: the locker room was preferable to what my own friends

620
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: allegedly said to me yesterday. The odds to win the

621
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: Big Ten Championship right now Ohio State one, Penn State two,

622
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: Oregon three, USC four, Michigan five. And it should be

623
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: noted there's a huge drop off after Oregon, USC and

624
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: Michigan basically had the same odds. Indiana is right there

625
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: in that mix. So that's a picture in the big ten.

626
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: Right now, let's talk about our trip right quick to Lincoln.

627
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: I've still got a lot of show to get to,

628
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on this. Oh,

629
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: we had a good time. Our friends at Flyhouse came through.

630
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: As you can clearly see if you're listening on podcasts,

631
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: just picture a machine bigger than we have any business

632
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: being on. And our friends at Flyhouse came through big

633
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: time for us. Carbs are of no concern on those

634
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: kinds of aircraft, and they got us up there and

635
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: we had a great time and we were treated great.

636
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: I have never been there before. Everything they said about

637
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: Lincoln is true, everything they said about the people was true,

638
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: really good access. Just had a great time. I met

639
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: up with some of our old friends from CBS, did

640
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: some pregame work with them. We were everywhere, so I

641
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: saw a good bit of that place. I think we

642
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: saw a really really charged game day environment. Didn't see

643
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: a win, but beggars can't be choosers there. But the

644
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: biggest blessing from our friends at Flyhouse is being back

645
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: in Nashville by nine that night, and that's without even

646
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: being in a hurry. So it was an awesome trip.

647
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: I am very hopeful to get up there again and

648
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: to be able to see like one of those moments,

649
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: one of those Berlin Wall type moments, And the only

650
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: thing I can equate it to is like Tennessee. I

651
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: was at Tennessee when they finally took down Alabama and

652
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: the feeling of euphoria and the feeling of just finally

653
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: and the pouring out of emotion from an entire fan base.

654
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: It's amazing. You rarely get to see that, but when

655
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: you do get to see it, Like if I'm ever

656
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: at Nebraska and they take down Ohio State or they

657
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: take down Michigan or someone like that, that would be

658
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: an amazing site. I can tell it would be. Boy,

659
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: you want to talk about an amazing site. Though there

660
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: was one yesterday. Well it was something Miami just did

661
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: some terrible, terrible things to Florida last night. Twenty six

662
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: to seven was the final, and that's with a touchdown

663
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 1: that was basically called back just a sympathy whistle, if

664
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: you will, from the officiating crew there for Florida SEC

665
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: officiating crew mind you. I give this game one and

666
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: a half chatly, which is great news for Mario Cristobal

667
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: because in his ideal world, his dream scenario is to

668
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: play the most unwatchable, the most unwatchable game possible, just

669
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: the ugliest game possible, because that's beautiful to a guy

670
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: like him. I had a vivid flashback when I was

671
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: watching this game, not to football. It reminded me of something.

672
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: Any old school pro wrestling fans will know what I'm

673
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: talking about. Have you ever heard of a concept called

674
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: Brawl for All? Some of you know what I'm talking about.

675
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: Let me explain it to you in like a minute.

676
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: So back in the late nineties, pro wrestling is as

677
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: hot as it's ever been. Naturally, somebody in the creative

678
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: department said, hey, we should make them box each other.

679
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: Pro wrestlers box each other for real on live TV.

680
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: Why don't know, let's just do it anyway. And no

681
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: one shot the idea down, So they made up a tournament,

682
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: the Brawl for All, in the summer of nineteen ninety eight.

683
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm a very very little kid, very formative years, so

684
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: I think it's amazing. And so I've got guys that

685
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: i've watched perform for me my whole childhood, who are

686
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: now boxing each other for real, and it was terrible

687
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: and half their talent roster got hurt. But there was

688
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: one guy named bart Gunn who turned out to be

689
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good boxer, turned out to be a phenomenal

690
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: boxer by pro wrestler boxing standards. So he buzz saws

691
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: his way to the finals, and then he knocks out

692
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: one of their big talents in the finals, and bart

693
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: Gunn is crowned champion of the tournament. Now, if that's

694
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: where it ended, it would just be a bad story.

695
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: It would just be a bad creative idea, and as

696
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: twenty five years later whatever. Unfortunately, that's not where it ended,

697
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: because the bright minds in the front office got the

698
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: idea that this guy looked so good boxing pro wrestlers,

699
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: maybe we should wait till the next spring at WrestleMania

700
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: and have him box an actual boxer. So they call

701
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: butter Bean and they have him show up in Philadelphia

702
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: at WrestleMania fifteen. Now butter Bean shows up to the event,

703
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: as the legend has it, and actively asks the creative team, Hey,

704
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: what do you guys want me to do? Like he's

705
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: a real boxer, okay, so he can kill people if

706
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: he wants to. So he shows up to a pro

707
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: wrestling event, sure that he's being paid to perform, and

708
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: they told him, no, no, we've got one of our

709
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: guys as a good boxer. Look at that, Look how

710
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: chiseled he is. He's a good boxer. And Butterbean, in

711
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: no uncertain term, says, but you understand what's gonna happen

712
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: if I box him, right, box him for real? And

713
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: they're like, no, no, no, no, no, he's good. Trust us. He

714
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: won our tournament. So there it is. WrestleMania fifteen, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,

715
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: first pay per view, my parents ever let me buy,

716
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: by the way, and almost almost at the end of

717
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 1: the first round after a knockdown, bart Gunn is knocked out,

718
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: very ugly. It derailed his career, gave him a concussion,

719
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: and he was never the same again. And the point is,

720
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: I bet there were people in the back who were

721
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: shot when bart Gunn got knocked out by Butterbeam, just

722
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: like I bet there were people at Florida who really thought,

723
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: from a physical standpoint, they were about to go down

724
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: to Miami last night. Maybe they don't win the game,

725
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: but we will go toe to toe physically with Miami.

726
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: They can't go toe to toe physically with Miami. Carson

727
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: Beck really only needed to throw if he felt like

728
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: it in this game. This, my friends, was your Sarah

729
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: McLaughlin special. Yesterday. Miami had one hundred and eighty four

730
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: yards rushing and Florida had one hundred and forty one

731
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: yards total. Florida, believe it or not not a typo kids,

732
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: was oh of thirteen on third down. I have here

733
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: for the second week in row. Florida's drive chart three

734
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: and out, three and out, punt, three and out, three

735
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: and out, three and out, touchdown, turnover on downs, three

736
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: and out, turnover on downs, turnover on downs. Florida had

737
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: thirty two yards in the first half. We counted every

738
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: one of them. This is their worst start since nineteen

739
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: eighty six. Officials at one point took a Miami touchdown

740
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: off the board basically because they blew what I can

741
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: only describe as a sympathy whistle where there was a

742
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: mauling happening and there's a pile still moving forward and

743
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: some official, just out of the kindness of their heart

744
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: blows the whistle like at the end of the day,

745
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: these are someone's kids, These kids in the Florida uniform, like,

746
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: that's someone's kid. I got to stop this. Well, no,

747
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: it'll stop when he crosses the goal line. So anyway,

748
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: if you think it was bad last night, it was.

749
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: Florida only has Texas and Texas A and m and

750
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: Georgia and Ole, miss and Tennessee and Florida State left, which,

751
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: if you've got your trustee ap Pole Handy, means the

752
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: numbers ten, nine, five, thirteen, fifteen and eight teams in

753
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: the country for the second week in a row, an

754
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: unprecedented first redundant on this show. Florida Again. You're Sarah

755
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: McLaughlin special. So I got a sentence for you, and

756
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: it has to do with Miami. Miami won a game defensively.

757
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: If you're new to college football, you may hear me

758
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: say that sentence and think big deal. Well, if you're new, welcome.

759
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here. Boy, Do I have some interesting

760
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: footage to show you of Miami football last year. If

761
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: you think it's no big deal for me to be

762
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: able to say Miami won a game defensively, as me

763
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: Maw would say, Miami couldn't stop molasses in December last year.

764
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: It was bad me and ten of you could have

765
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: moved the ball on Lance Gidgry's defense last year. And

766
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: now Corey Heatherman's in town, and an entirely reworked secondary

767
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: is in town, and there's this thing name Reuben Bain

768
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 1: and then he's got a Buddy Mesador on the other side.

769
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: And if you haven't watched it yet, words will not

770
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: do it. Justice. Assault there is really the only word

771
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: I could use. But you just need to go watch

772
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: it for yourself. Make sure there are no kids in

773
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: the room, and then go watch this for yourself. You

774
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: just remove so much variance when you can play like this,

775
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: when you just impose your will on someone, Think about

776
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: how little variance there is in the equation. If you

777
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: know you've got a bigger, better offensive line and you

778
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: can just lean on people, it's not a whole lot

779
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: of risk in that forty six carries for one hundred

780
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: and eighty four yards and three touchdowns. Mind you, this

781
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: is the best defense I think they'll see all year.

782
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: So now I'll speak on that in the second. That

783
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's gonna be easy for the rest of

784
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: the year. I'll speak on that in the second and

785
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: maybe Florida State's got something to say about that. But

786
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: I think Florida is the best defense they'll see all year,

787
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: and they folded them like a chair in the end yesterday.

788
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: You just remove so much variance when you can play

789
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: this way. So there's gonna be a lot of hype

790
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 1: around Miami. There is no getting around that. There already

791
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: kind of was, and now there really will be. And

792
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of mystery around them too.

793
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: They got the best odds twenty ACC by a fairly

794
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: wide margin. Right now, I think it's the best team

795
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: I've seen in college football this year. But two things. Firstly,

796
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: they go to Tallahassee, Florida in two weeks. Somehow, this

797
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: is a real sentence that's about to come out of

798
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: my mouth. Somehow, some way, in the year twenty twenty five,

799
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: the ACC has a team that is gonna play one

800
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: game in the next twenty days because Miami has a

801
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: bye this week, Then they play at Florida State, then

802
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: they have another buye, then they play the rest of

803
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: their season. Don't even ask, don't even ask. But anyway,

804
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of mystery. Keep the schedule

805
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: up for me, Bradley. So they go to Florida State

806
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: on October fourth, gonna be a massive game. Looks like

807
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a top ten matchup if Florida State

808
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,479
Speaker 1: gets by Virginia, and don't laugh because that's a single

809
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: digit spread. But if they get by them, that's a

810
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: top ten matchup. It's the most meaningful Miami Florida State

811
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: game in like a generation. After that. If you're listening

812
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: on podcasts Louisville, Stanford at SMU, Syracuse, NC State at

813
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: Virginia at PITT, I would venture to think Miami is

814
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: either a double digit favorite or close to it in

815
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: every one of those games. At SMU is the only

816
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: one I would possibly doubt there. If they stay healthy,

817
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: they will be a big time favorite in all those games.

818
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: So who matches up? Nobody matches up. I don't know

819
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: that anybody matches up with a period on the line

820
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. But that's not the question. Here's the problem here.

821
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: To me, the biggest challenge Miami will face is themselves

822
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: after that Florida State game. Their biggest challenges themselves because

823
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: here's what happens. You got an extremely talented team, the

824
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: potential to be a dominant team, but it's a bunch

825
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: of guys who have never been to the dance before.

826
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,959
Speaker 1: Hardly anyone associated with this program has been to the dance,

827
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: and if they have, it's been with another program. Mario's

828
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: never done it as a head coach, these coordinators have

829
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: never done it as coordinators. Carson Beck has, Carson Beck's

830
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: played at that level. A lot of these players haven't.

831
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. When you've never been great, you don't

832
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: really have a proper scale in your mind to let

833
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: you know how great you are and the standard and

834
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to look like. And when you play

835
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: great competition every week, that's a moot point because you

836
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: get to test yourself against it every week. They won't

837
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 1: play great competition every week. So you got a group

838
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: of folks who hadn't been there before and hadn't done

839
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: it before, and they'll be double digit favorites every week.

840
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: And what can happen is you can underachieve and still win.

841
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: You can let bad habits creep in and still win.

842
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: You can get lazy, you can get very very careless

843
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: with attention to detail, and really, your helmet's gonna win

844
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: a lot of those games. What it won't do is

845
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: beat Ohio State or Georgia or whoever, Penn State, whoever's

846
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: there when and if you make the playoff, and what

847
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: you end up having happen is you have this really,

848
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: really weird outcome. You can have this really weird result.

849
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: It's the cattle prode to your neck. And what you

850
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: find is you were talented enough to win, but you

851
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: didn't get You didn't win, You got beat, and you

852
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: got beat by someone who had razor sharp attention to

853
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: detail the whole year, maybe because their staff's just that good,

854
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: or maybe because their schedule mandated that they have that

855
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: all year, and you got loose down the stretch and

856
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: you never regained your form. That's the biggest threat to

857
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: Miami because they are the best team in that conference

858
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: by a wide margin. They may be the best team

859
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: in the country right now. They're the most capable team

860
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: I think in the country. Doesn't guarantee a thing, does

861
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: not guarantee a thing. What's the best I can do? Guys? Okay,

862
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: I assume that this is it for Billy Napier. I

863
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: assume that he will lose his job, which I hate

864
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: because I love billion Napier, but it is what it is.

865
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: It's bottom line business and he has not gotten the

866
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: job done there, and Florida deserves better. They invest to

867
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: the degree where they have, they have the right to

868
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: think they deserve better, and they're not getting it. Right now,

869
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: this is going to be a major story. These jobs

870
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: don't come open very often. We thought maybe it would

871
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: happen last year. It didn't. I just don't think you

872
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: avoid that trap door twice, so it sounds like an

873
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: inevitability that this is going to happen now. The thing

874
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 1: about that is okay when and that you'll get fifteen

875
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: different answers on if you ask fifteen different people. But

876
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: we are in the modern age, the age where your

877
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: roster can disintegrate if you fire a guy and then

878
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: hire another guy, and then those guys don't like that guy.

879
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: So it's a very very different age. It's also the

880
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: age where money is real and it has to be

881
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 1: treated as such. It used to be it don't what's

882
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 1: his buyout? Forty million? Oh? Who cares? Well? You better care.

883
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: Now you got to treat that money like it should

884
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: be treated, because it has to be treated as real.

885
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: So you got to buy a guy out and buy

886
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: a staff out and then go pay a new staff

887
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: and that's a lot of money. Now maybe they want

888
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: it bad enough, but that's a lot of money. So yeah,

889
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's gonna happen. Unfortunately, well

890
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: it's fortunate if you want it to happen. I never

891
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: wanted to see it happen, so unfortunately for me, fortunately

892
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: for Florida fans, I think it'll happen. Sorry, Bradley, Yeah,

893
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm done with that. College football officiating is a disaster.

894
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: It's been broken for a while. I know more about

895
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: Air Force one than I do the crew that officiated

896
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: Tulane Ole miss yesterday. There's no transparency in this whatsoever.

897
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: It is the most unnecessarily guarded aspect of sports that

898
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: I can think of. There are some there's some aspects

899
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: like a player's medical history. You need to guard that.

900
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: How enforcement happens to an officiating crew when they mess

901
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: up a call in an SEC football game should not

902
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: be hidden behind like a vault lock and key thrown

903
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: in the ocean. It should never be like that, and

904
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: it is. And to be honest, when you watch games

905
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: like yesterday with Auburn Oklahoma. When you watch what happened

906
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: in that Miami versus Florida game, it may or may not,

907
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: in your mind change who won the game. You can

908
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: never prove that. The whole butterfly effect theory, you can

909
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: never prove that. But even if it doesn't, it almost

910
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: like it borders on criminality to me, I'm not joking

911
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: about that. When you think about the amount of money

912
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: and the stakes that ride on these games. Careers ride

913
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: on these games. People placing bets on these games rides

914
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: on this game. And to have the lack of transparency

915
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: and the utter disaster that the enforcement mechanism is from

916
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: a rules perspective in these games, sometimes it seems criminal.

917
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: And the problem is, I've never been a big conspiracy

918
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: theorist guy on this, Like I think officiating is just

919
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: really hard and people are out there genuinely trying to

920
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: do a good job and sometimes they screw up, and

921
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: maybe if you screw up too much, you don't deserve

922
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 1: to be on that field anymore. But at the very least,

923
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: I've always thought we ought to get way more answers

924
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: on this, way more transparency than we do. And when

925
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: you don't get it. That is feeding oxygen to conspiracy theorists.

926
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: So I got an Auburn buddy. I got an Auburn

927
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: buddy who swears the league office is out to get Auburn.

928
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: Do I believe that, No, not per se. But his

929
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: proof is Auburn getting the shaft from the officials in

930
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: a football game yesterday. Now, I personally still don't look

931
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: at that as this indisputable evidence that the league office

932
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: has it in for Auburn. However, here's the problem. I

933
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: don't have any counter. I don't know what to tell

934
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: him because the league doesn't tell us anything. And every

935
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: time you sit there and you hide behind these little

936
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: Twitter pr graphic edits that you put out hours later,

937
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: which means nothing. No one cares that you admit you

938
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: were wrong after you've already blown a game. Every time

939
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: this happens, every time we go further down this road

940
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: of lack of transparency, it provides oxygen two people like

941
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: my buddy who believe that Birmingham, Alabama is home to

942
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: the SEC League office who has it out for Auburn University.

943
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to tell him? You don't tell

944
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: us anything. I have no clue what to tell him.

945
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: So here's what happened yesterday. If you're unfamiliar with what happened,

946
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: if you weren't watching the Auburn Oklahoma game. Isaac Satagna,

947
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: who is a really good receiver, really good portal edition

948
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma. Of that, I am happy he used a

949
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: hideout tactic, which is basically acting like you're going off

950
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: the field, you're getting subbed out, and you just stop

951
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: and then you're still on the field and then they

952
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: throw a touchdown pass to him because of course no

953
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: one's covering him. And so there are some people watching

954
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: who knew nothing about the rules against that, and they thought, oh,

955
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: that's really smart by Oklahoma. There are other people watching

956
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: who knew, oh that's illegal, but hey, if you can

957
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: get away with it, get away with it whatever. I've

958
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: never been about that life, but whatever. Then there are

959
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: is a third group of people who don't think a

960
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 1: rule's broken, and then their world shattered when the SEC

961
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: comes out after the game with a very very quickly

962
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: put together statement that yeah, we screwed this up. And

963
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: then I had some OU fans trying to still argue, no,

964
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: there was nothing wrong with this, How can it be

965
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: a substitution in fraction when nobody subbed, How could it

966
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: be against the rules when he got the thumbs up

967
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: from the line judge. Because none of it matters. And

968
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: I've been on the phone with officials all afternoon, I

969
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: can promise you none of it matters. You've got an

970
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: entire subcategory of unsports unsportsman like conduct penalties, and the

971
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: specific subcategories that deal with this stuff called unfair tactics.

972
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: And that's why in that unfair tactics nine two three

973
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: dos seven whatever rule, that's why they say it doesn't

974
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: even matter if players go on or off the field.

975
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if a substitution actually happens. The germ

976
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: of trying to fool someone on sub tactics could very

977
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: well be that you never intended anyone to come on

978
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: the field in the first place. So it's very obvious

979
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: a rule was broken here, and anyone who doesn't think so,

980
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 1: the league disagrees with you, and they've got all the

981
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: incentive in the world to not so that happens. Here's

982
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: what's wild. It's not wild that calls get blown every

983
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: now and then. Here's what's wild. It's so much worse

984
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: than you think it is. You would have your mind blown.

985
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: How many officials listen to this show and how many

986
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: of them reach out all the time. And rarely do

987
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: I walk into a building that a member of the

988
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: officiating crew, sometimes even the white hat doesn't come up

989
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: to me and talk about something they've heard us say

990
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: about officiating on the show and then feed us a

991
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: little information. And to their credit, it's always in the

992
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:00,959
Speaker 1: interest of bettering their profession or holding their profession into account, cause,

993
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: contrary to popular belief, most of them are really good

994
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 1: at what they do. But they look around and say,

995
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: if the public had any idea how broken this process is,

996
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: and if the public had any idea how much of

997
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: a buying some of us are put in above me

998
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: on just the calls we make on the field, it

999
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: would blow their mind. It would it would blow your mind.

1000
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: So college football billion dollar industry, Nickel and dime officiating

1001
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: enforcement arm. College football sits here and prints money. Is

1002
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: a billion dollar industry, and it's got a Nickel and

1003
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: dime officiating arm, and it's never made sense. But it

1004
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: only makes sense when you understand no one's really in charge.

1005
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: Oh Josh, certainly they have superiors, Oh no, they do.

1006
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: They do. You've got conference coordinators of officials who they

1007
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: answering to Steve Shaw, what transparency has he given you?

1008
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: So really, as just an observer of college football, maybe

1009
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: even as a coach, what kind of transparency are you

1010
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: really getting? Here's that's what's wild. What's really wild is

1011
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze is sitting in his game yesterday and just

1012
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: an egregious call goes against him. I kid you not.

1013
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: I have spoken to officials today that say that's day

1014
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: one clinic stuff, like even within their own world, it

1015
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: was the talk of yesterday about how egregious a no

1016
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: call that was and how much everyone should be fired

1017
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: or punished on a spot on that crew for allowing

1018
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: it to happen. Here's what's wild, though, call gets blown,

1019
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: just an egregious miss by that crew in the Auburn

1020
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: Oklahoma game, and then the SEC comes out afterwards and says, yeah,

1021
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: we messed it up, and that's it. And what's crazy

1022
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: is if Hugh Freeze goes to the podium afterwards and

1023
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: does nothing more than tell the truth about what a

1024
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: joke the process is right now I'm officiating, and the

1025
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: lack of transparency He'll get fined and I'm sitting there

1026
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, yesterday, Hold up, So, Hugh Freeze's job

1027
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: is on the line, pending he win foot games. You

1028
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 1: can make a call that may cost him a game,

1029
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: and all you got to do is say afterwards, oh,

1030
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: we missed it. Hands clean. If you Freeze calls you out,

1031
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: he owes you tens of thousands of dollars. Here's my question.

1032
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: If your officials screw a game up and cost me

1033
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: a win, and you come out and admit you cost me,

1034
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: or at the very least you screwed up, why don't

1035
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 1: you owe me money. Why doesn't the SEC oh Auburn

1036
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: millions of dollars? Why doesn't it was an SEC crew

1037
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: on the other game too. Why don't the SEC owe

1038
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: Miami money. Why don't you have to come off your

1039
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: hip pocket when you screw up? When people actually do

1040
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: have to come off their hip pocket, when they accurately

1041
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: call you out for screwing up. Well, that's because we've

1042
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: got to protect the sanctity of the brand. You see,

1043
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: We've got to maintain the clean image of this conference's shield.

1044
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: But no one actually cares about it that they care

1045
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: about the integrity of the game. You're screwing up the integrity,

1046
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: especially the competitive integrity of the game, when you're that

1047
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: bad at officiating it. That's what we care about, that's

1048
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: what fans care about, that's what coaches and players care about.

1049
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: No one cares about your logo but you, and yet

1050
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: that's where the focus is. That's also why we don't

1051
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: ever get to hear from officials. We don't even get

1052
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: a token pool reporter to go talk to officials most

1053
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: times in college football games. No, you'll just take our

1054
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: statements if we feel like ones required. Really, we don't

1055
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 1: even have to do that, and that's it, And that's

1056
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 1: all because we really don't have to answer to anyone.

1057
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: There's no one overseeing this process. You know, if there

1058
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: was transparency, people would realize how jacked up the process is.

1059
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: And we can't have that. We can't let people know

1060
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: how inconsistent the manual and mechanic symphasis is league to league.

1061
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: And by that, I mean they emphasize something totally different

1062
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: in the SEC than they do in the American than

1063
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: they do in the Big Twelve then they do in

1064
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: Conference USA. And you may think to yourself, but don't

1065
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: some of these officials in out of conference games, officiate

1066
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: games featuring teams from other conferences. Yes, yes, you're not

1067
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: supposed to know all that. You're not supposed to know

1068
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: how inconsistent that entire process is. You're not supposed to

1069
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: know they emphasize something in one league and they don't

1070
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: in the other league. You're not supposed to know that

1071
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: maybe certain procedures are encouraged in one league, especially for

1072
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: out of conference games, that may not even be encouraged

1073
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: for league games. You're not supposed to know any of

1074
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: that stuff. It kind of seems a little corrupt. You're

1075
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: not really supposed to know that. You're not supposed to

1076
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: know about agendas with crew placement, or how conference coordinators

1077
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: of officials actually operate, and how some of them like

1078
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: each other, how some of them hate each other, and

1079
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: how it's tough to elevate one ladder even though that

1080
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: means you've got no shot on another ladder. You're not

1081
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: supposed to know that. You're not supposed to know that

1082
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: because this is college football and we have to keep

1083
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 1: we have to keep the veil of secrecy on some

1084
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: like officiating off. But could you imagine, I mean, what

1085
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: kind of state secrets, what kind of national security risk

1086
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: it would be if fans of college football knew more

1087
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: about the officiating mechanism of college football. It's a joke.

1088
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: It is a joke, and it's a bigger mess, believe

1089
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: it or not, than you probably even think it is.

1090
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: And I know most of you guys think it's a

1091
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: mess because I do too. Look, if you've ever worked

1092
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: in a standard American corporate environment, take all the problems

1093
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: you have in your workplace, and it's not too difficult

1094
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: to imagine what kind of problems exist in this world.

1095
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: When there's lack of accountability and there are little pockets

1096
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: of power to be had, and it's really the only

1097
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: authority any of these people are ever going to have

1098
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: in life. It's not hard to imagine how it gets

1099
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: a little twisted behind the scenes. It just so happens

1100
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: that hundreds of millions of dollars are bet on this,

1101
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: and they're not bet on what happens in your office.

1102
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: Day to day. Careers are on the line, both coaches

1103
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: and players when it comes to this, So a little

1104
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: more transparency. I don't think it's the worst thing in

1105
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: the world to ask for, Nor is a discount when

1106
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: you want to buy tickets to go to games. I agree,

1107
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:14,959
Speaker 1: So that's why I went to seat Geek and I said,

1108
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: excuse me, hello. They opened the door third not and

1109
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: I said, are people need some money back? They said, okay.

1110
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. If you're going to a game

1111
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: and there are a bunch of them to go to

1112
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: this weekend. You want to go to Oxford this weekend,

1113
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: you want to see LSU in town, go to seat Geek.

1114
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: There will be tickets available. It's not going to be

1115
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: the cheapest ticket in the world. People, it's a big game.

1116
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: But what I can do is I can get you

1117
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: ten percent off of your order, or if your order

1118
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: is more than two hundred dollars, I'm just going to

1119
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: get you twenty dollars off. You only need to use

1120
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: code pat ten paate pat one zero. That's it. There's

1121
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: no catch. You're gonna buy the tickets. It's gonna cost

1122
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: you some money. Are it always was. I'm just gonna

1123
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: get you a little discount on the end, pay ten

1124
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: pat e ten. I've got some added takeaways from yesterday.

1125
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna hear from folks Jesse because I mean, honestly,

1126
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: first off, my noseedges. Secondly, on one hand, I kind

1127
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: of said too much in that officiating segment, but I

1128
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: didn't because the process is a joke, and nobody in

1129
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: that industry can call it out because they're afraid of

1130
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: losing their job. Well, I couldn't care less what a

1131
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: conference thinks about me, what the League office thinks about me,

1132
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: or what a coordinator of league officiating thinks about me,

1133
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: so I'll call it out. I don't care about burning sources.

1134
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,959
Speaker 1: They're not my sources. Those folks from the League office

1135
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: don't really hit me up, so I don't really care,

1136
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: So I'll call it out. Added takeaways from this weekend. Oh,

1137
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: Indiana sixty three to ten. Huh, it was a splattering

1138
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: in Bloomington. In fact, pres hit it. This was a

1139
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: TVM A special. We can't even keep the normal lighting

1140
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: in the studio. We just got to go blood red

1141
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: for this one. This is a different Indiana team, pure

1142
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: TVMA special sixty three to ten, five seventy nine to

1143
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: one sixty one? Was the yardage edge here? Three twelve

1144
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: to negative two? Is that true, Jesse? Or was it

1145
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: three twenty to two? Oh? Illinois did get two, so

1146
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: they did keep it above zero in the rushing statistics.

1147
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: I do have a drive chart for you. Again, Women

1148
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: and children probably leave the room for a second. No,

1149
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: you know what, stay. You need to hear this because

1150
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't want you to fall victim like I did.

1151
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: I picked Illinois. I don't want this to happen to

1152
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: anyone else. So the kids, it's time for us to

1153
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: have a talk. Kids, not that talk. No, this is

1154
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: about Indiana football and what they do to you. Frankly,

1155
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: whether you pick them or you don't. Punt touchdown, punt, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.

1156
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: End of game. Illinois had seven three and outs. This

1157
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: was terrible. This was assault. I took off yesterday and

1158
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: this was a two score game. I landed and it

1159
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: was sixty three to ten. It wasn't that long of

1160
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: a flight, guys, So this was bad Indiana. You know,

1161
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: it's funny how that Big ten schedule. Okay, Perez, it's

1162
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: getting teary in here. It's funny had that schedule and

1163
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: the Big ten's changing a little bit. You know. First off,

1164
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: their quarterback now is the favorite to win the Heisman.

1165
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: So Fernando Mendoza is now the favorite to win the Heisman.

1166
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: Look at that, Jesse, you see Oregon. Oregon is the favorite,

1167
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 1: either of the fourth favorite to win the Heisman right now.

1168
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer when we have typos in the show,

1169
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: we just have to have fun with it because if

1170
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: we don't, the comment section will call us out. So

1171
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: they don't run or they don't chase. If you don't run,

1172
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:40,959
Speaker 1: what was I saying?

1173
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 2: Oh?

1174
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the league schedule at the beginning of the

1175
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: year had people saying Oregon, Oh, they play Penn State.

1176
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: They got USC later, But I mean that's ten and two,

1177
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: eleven and one. They don't really play anyone else. Yeah,

1178
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: if Indiana is coming to your building or you're going

1179
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: to their building, you are playing at least one other,

1180
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: really really legit opponent. So Indiana goes to Oregon, they

1181
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: go two Penn State later in the year. I didn't

1182
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: watch Indiana at any point last year and think that

1183
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: team is a danger if they make the playoffs. I

1184
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: thought they were a good, solid story. I thought Signetti

1185
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: was a revelation as a head coach. I thought there

1186
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: was a very workable schedule where they could backdoor their

1187
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: way into the playoff. But they'll get buried if they

1188
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: face quality competition, and they did. I don't feel that

1189
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: way about this team. I legitimately think this team could

1190
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: do damage if they make the playoff. Now, they got

1191
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: a tougher schedule, but they got a better team, they

1192
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,439
Speaker 1: got a better quarterback, I think. So that was scary

1193
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: looking team, man, that was scary looking performance. Texas Tech

1194
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,959
Speaker 1: beat Utah thirty four to ten. And the edge here,

1195
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: if Utah had one, remember, was supposed to be physicality.

1196
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: Now we picked Texas Tech because I didn't think that

1197
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: edge was going to be there. And Texas Tech ended

1198
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: up hanging twenty four in the fourth quarter where their

1199
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. So this absolutely begins to separate the picture

1200
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: a little bit in the Big Twelve. No, I'll tell

1201
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: you what's funny is the things that you thought about

1202
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. You know, top to bottom, it's so

1203
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: competitively balanced and anyone could win it. What if we

1204
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: start saying that about another conference this year, maybe one

1205
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: of those Power twos, and maybe there's separation Because right

1206
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: now Texas Tech is the solid odds favorite at FanDuel

1207
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: to win the league. TCU's number two Arizona State, number three,

1208
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Iowa State number four. I think you saw the best

1209
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: team in the league yesterday in Texas Tech, and I

1210
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: think they're only going to get better. It's a bunch

1211
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: of guys who were thrown together and so they're just

1212
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: now playing together. They're just now getting their first few

1213
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: games under their belt. They go to Houston, they got

1214
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: a bye week. They go to Houston, they got Kansas,

1215
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: and then they go to Arizona State on October eighteenth.

1216
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm really looking forward to. Baron Morton not

1217
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: expected to miss any time. Got a sore neck, I think,

1218
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: but they got a bye week. Quarterback there, he'll be good.

1219
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Missouri twenty nine, South Carolina twenty and yes, Lenora Sellers

1220
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: ends up playing this whole game and through for three

1221
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards somehow, And you may think to yourself, I

1222
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: would think this. If I looked at that, I would say, oh,

1223
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: good for Lenori's he's back. Yeah, Oh, that's not the

1224
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: padlock stat. The padlock stat is two hundred and eighty

1225
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: five to negative nine, because those were the rushing numbers

1226
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: respectively in this game. The winning team, of course, Missouri

1227
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: running it for two eighty five, holding South Carolina non

1228
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,919
Speaker 1: sac adjusted to negative nine rushing yards. Missouri was six

1229
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: of six for twenty nine points in the red zone.

1230
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,479
Speaker 1: And two guys, by the way that you know in fairness, now,

1231
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: we did talk about both these guys and our portal sleepers.

1232
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: Ahmad Hardy the tailback I believe from Tulane or uelman

1233
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Roe right, Jesse twelve carries one hundred and thirty eight

1234
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown, and Josiah Trotter was a linebacker

1235
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: transfer eleven tackles for Law yesterday. So they just keep

1236
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: quietly finding players there, and they lose players, and they

1237
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: lose coaches, and they just backfill them. Eli Drinkwitz, you know,

1238
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: one of these days, one of these days, he could

1239
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: be a half decent coach. Memphis thirty two, Arkansas thirty one.

1240
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: It can't be real. It can't be real. I watched

1241
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: this outcome yesterday live on the field in Nebraska in

1242
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: stunned disbelief. I just I some of you don't believe

1243
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: in curses. Some of you are not superstitious. I'm not superstitious,

1244
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: but I'm a little stitious because I've watched Arkansas football,

1245
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: so I know something's got to be in play above

1246
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: and beyond just the forces of nature that we can explain.

1247
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: There's no way this amount of bad happens to good

1248
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: people if curses are not real. Eighteen point lead topped

1249
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: five hundred yards of total offense and they lost and

1250
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: they're inside the ten I mean you imagine me, they're

1251
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: down one point, they're inside the ten minute to go,

1252
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: all their time outs where they're just gonna center the

1253
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: ball up here right, No, they're gonna fumble it away.

1254
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't fumble it away against Air. Memphis

1255
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: punched the ball out. So huge credit to Memphis. A

1256
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: huge play there. You never know what that's gonna mean.

1257
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: That can mean the difference in them making or not

1258
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: making the playoff at the end of the year. Is

1259
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 1: the G five team. Taylor Green made some bad decisions

1260
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: in this game. Now they got Notre Dame this Saturday.

1261
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:33,479
Speaker 1: That's an eleven am local time kickoff in Fayetteville. Dare

1262
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: I say wounded animal mode for both teams? Yes I do.

1263
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: Dare say that Ole Miss just throttled Tulane yesterday. Ole

1264
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: Miss slammed the door on any upset alert talk. We

1265
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: had some upset alert talk. How do you not it's

1266
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,439
Speaker 1: John Sumral, It's too, Lane, you know goodwell, Old miss

1267
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: has got LSU. The next week. It's a very very

1268
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: high level G five team coming into your building. You

1269
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: lost to Kentucky last year in a similar spot LSU.

1270
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's on deck and just never a

1271
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: doubt in this game. Now, what we have is one

1272
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: of the most overrated terms in college football brewing in Oxford,

1273
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 1: and that is quarterback controversy. What's the controversy? They got

1274
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: two really good quarterbacks. One of them's been hurt, so

1275
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: the other ones come in. Austin Simmons been hurt, Trinidad

1276
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: Chambliss comes in just lighting it up, because that's what

1277
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin quarterbacks do. And I was told today that

1278
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: there's a quarterback controversy there. I asked, what is the

1279
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: controversy and they said, well, Trinidad Chambliss is playing really

1280
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: good ball. Then there was a pause and I was like,

1281
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 1: finish your sentence. There was like, no, no, that's the sentence.

1282
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,719
Speaker 1: He's playing really good. What do you do with Austin

1283
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: Simmons when he comes back? And my answer was probably

1284
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: play the one that gives you the best chance to win.

1285
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: Are you telling me Lane has two guys he can

1286
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: win with. Yeah, that's what I'm telling you. That's not

1287
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: a controversy. That's depth, that's not controversial. Having multiple winners

1288
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 1: guys you can win with in your quarterback room is

1289
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 1: not controversial. Having none you can win with is controversial.

1290
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: And just having a trot one out there every week

1291
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: that's controversial. That's not fun. Elaine gets paid plenty enough

1292
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: money to sweat the decision over which of his really

1293
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks he's gonna play. Also, it's nice to know

1294
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to rush a guy back who's injured

1295
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: because his backup can win too. So yeah, that's not

1296
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: a controversy to me. But this next thing could be.

1297
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: The ap pole is out. It's become our least favorite pastime,

1298
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 1: but one that we indulge in every Sunday night. We've

1299
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: got movement. It makes no sense. I don't know why.

1300
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: Let's just get right into it. So this is the

1301
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: updated a peopole. Brigham Young is ranked at twenty five

1302
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: TCU at twenty four. Illinois is in this thing still,

1303
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 1: And last week I made it a point to talk

1304
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: about Illinois and how they were too high and how

1305
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: they were top ten even when like Georgia, Tech and

1306
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Vandy weren't, and Georgia Tech and Vandy clearly had better

1307
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: resumes Illinois, but Illinois had been invited to the party preseason.

1308
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: Now people misconstrued that and they were like, Illinois's not

1309
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: a blue blood. They don't normally get benefit of the doubt.

1310
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: I know. I didn't say they did. I said they've

1311
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: been invited to the party this year because they have

1312
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: the most magical stat in a sports writer's mind, which

1313
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: is returning starters. They's got a bunch of returning starters.

1314
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 1: That must mean they're thirty percent better than they were

1315
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: last year. And they were pretty good last year. Oh oh

1316
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: Bowl win, by the way, So let's put them in

1317
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: the top fifteen. And then they kept getting rewarded, and

1318
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: so they were top ten and they lost yesterday by

1319
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 1: half a million. They're still ranked not because they have

1320
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: a top twenty five resume, but because, well, we dropped

1321
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: them fourteen spots. Maybe you should start from scratch every

1322
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: week when you formulate your poll, so that you should

1323
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: never have how far you're dropping a team in your mind.

1324
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,719
Speaker 1: Just stack teams based on who has the best resume. Again,

1325
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: this is a bridge too far intellectually, for most of

1326
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 1: the AP voters. Notre Dames at twenty two. Okay, USC

1327
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 1: looked good last night, looked really good. I mean Lincoln Riley,

1328
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: I regret to inform you has himself a really good

1329
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: quarterback in Jade Mayava. They're up four spots to twenty one.

1330
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: I have a theory. I was working on this with

1331
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 1: some guys today. I think Jade Miyava is better at

1332
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 1: quarterback for Lincoln Riley than Caleb Williams was. He may

1333
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,680
Speaker 1: not be the most talented quarterback he's ever had, but

1334
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: he plays within the system, and I thought Caleb Williams

1335
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: played wildly out of it all the time. And so

1336
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't have Lincoln Riley on the record having said this,

1337
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: I don't need it. I guarantee it. He feels more

1338
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: comfortable with my iva right now, who's rapidly progressing and

1339
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: playing within the system and throwing the ball where it's

1340
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 1: supposed to go and doing what he's supposed to do

1341
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: and reading what he's supposed to read than a guy

1342
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: with all world talent who just winged it. I'm not

1343
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: interested in that. I don't think he is either Miami's

1344
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: or Missouri Rather is at twenty. Miami is way higher

1345
01:11:54,600 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: than that. Michigan's at nineteen. Vandy is at eighteen and

1346
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: again obliterated someone yesterday. Vandy was favored by twenty eight.

1347
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: They won by many, many more points than that. But

1348
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: because it's Vandy again, you're gonna have to win like

1349
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: five or six more big games, Markie opponents before we

1350
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: crack the top fifteen with you, Vandy clearly has a

1351
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: top fifteen resume. It's such a joke. They're not top fifteen.

1352
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Bama's seventeen whatever beat Wisconsin handily. I'm okay with it.

1353
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech should be way higher than sixteen. Again, just

1354
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 1: a complete joke of a process. Georgia Tech's resume, Just

1355
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: think about what it has now. I guess they're being

1356
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: punished for Clemson losing again, which is understandable, But I

1357
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,599
Speaker 1: ask you, how do you know that Georgia Tech beating

1358
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: Clemson initially didn't create a chain of events that led

1359
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: to them losing again? Like, why would Georgia Tech get

1360
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: punished for that? It's some why I've always believed in

1361
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,879
Speaker 1: baking the value of a win, and as the win happens,

1362
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 1: and then rarely, if ever revisiting the value of that game.

1363
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: But people disagree with me on that. So whatever, Tennessee's fifteen,

1364
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 1: Iowa States fourteen, ole miss I'd probably have higher than thirteen,

1365
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 1: but that's okay. Texas texts up five spots to twelve. Indiana. Look,

1366
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: I can't blame anyone for having Indiana this high. I'd

1367
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: have I will have Indiana top ten this week in

1368
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: the Commissioner's poll. I don't know how you look at

1369
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: them so far and think otherwise. They blasted Illinois yesterday,

1370
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: but people are just overlooking that Old Dominion game. Oh

1371
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: that Old Dominion game wasn't a blowout. Old Dominion's a

1372
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 1: very good team and it was Week one and Indiana

1373
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 1: ended up winning. They didn't cover, but that's not supposed

1374
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,520
Speaker 1: to matter. By the way, to an AP voter, Indiana's

1375
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: top ten team, they got a You're not gonna tell

1376
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: me they have a worse resume than Texas. There's just

1377
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: no way. There is no way that you look at

1378
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: the body of work. Texas has body of work. Indiana

1379
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: has to say hook them. No way. Now, if you're

1380
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: trying to project with this, if you're trying to predict

1381
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: with this, if you're trying to do the whole who

1382
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: would be favored on a neutral field thing. That's not

1383
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: what this is for. That's what power ratings are for.

1384
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 1: I know because I do those every Tuesday night, and

1385
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: I will have Texas ahead of Indiana. Probably not by

1386
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:16,719
Speaker 1: a whole lot, but I'll have them ahead of Indiana.

1387
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: They have no business being ahead of Indiana in a

1388
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: merit based resume competition. And even if you think Texas

1389
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: is going to go on to do big things, wait

1390
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: till they do it. Wait till they do it. Because

1391
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: you also thought they'd be the number one team in

1392
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,879
Speaker 1: the country. Most of you did, and now they're struggling

1393
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: to stay in the top ten. So what you think,

1394
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 1: respectfully doesn't really matter. What I think doesn't matter. What

1395
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: I think will happen doesn't matter. This is as far

1396
01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: as I can tell this about what has happened. Right

1397
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:48,480
Speaker 1: A and M's number nine. Yeah, that checks out FSU

1398
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 1: number eight, Okay, I don't Yeah, whatever, Old Oklahoma. I'm

1399
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: a little upset with Florida State because they beat our

1400
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: team yesterday. Kent State. We bet Kent State every week.

1401
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 1: And I don't mind Mike and the guys winning. I

1402
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: just did you have to run it up like that. Yes,

1403
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: the answer as you did. Oklahoma's at seven, Yeah, no

1404
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 1: problem with it. I don't have a problem with the

1405
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: rest of them. Oregon's at six, Georgia five, LSU four,

1406
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: Penn State three, Miami's at two, Ohio State's at one.

1407
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: I will have Miami number one again this week. I

1408
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 1: think they're the best team that I've seen so far

1409
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: this year. However, if you are a believer that the

1410
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: previous year's national champ, if they're any good, deserves to

1411
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 1: hold on to number one until they lose, I can't

1412
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: argue with it. I've never thought that last year should

1413
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: be a basis for your resume this year. But if

1414
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: you think that that's okay, now you're splitting hairs there.

1415
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, as for where Georgia Tech is, where Vandy is?

1416
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: The fact that Illinois is still in this thing. I mean, guys,

1417
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: Illinois lost by over half one hundred yesterday. What are

1418
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: we doing right now? What in the world are we

1419
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: doing right now? Mississippi State is still unranked? What are

1420
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: we doing? Mississippi State is clearly one of the best

1421
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 1: twenty five resumes in college football right now? But you

1422
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: know what their great crime is. You know what they

1423
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:15,679
Speaker 1: did wrong. They woke up in Startville, Mississippi, Saturday morning.

1424
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: They woke up with that hopefully the interlocking MSU on

1425
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,839
Speaker 1: their chest. That's their great crime. That Vanderbilt's great crime

1426
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,679
Speaker 1: is being Vanderbilt. That's the great crime. So you got

1427
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, you should have just woken up Texas Saturday.

1428
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:32,720
Speaker 1: Maybe you could have gotten benefit of the doubt. You

1429
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: can go or to panduel right now and you can

1430
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 1: look at odds to win these conferences because they are

1431
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: moving very very quickly. We showed you the odds to

1432
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: win the Big twelve has moved. Texas Tech's now the

1433
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: favorite Roma Noudle Express if you want to bet those games.

1434
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: We have our own tab by the way at FanDuel,

1435
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: which we went six and four this week, another winning week.

01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,920

Speaker 1: so who knows, maybe you can't trust it. You can

Speaker 1: wager or even five dollar wager on the right thing

1448
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: could change one's life. I happened to know someone who

1449

Speaker 1: cashed over twenty four grand on a parlay last week.

1450

Speaker 1: And that's not a word that we regularly use on

1451
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: the show because it's not a behavior that we participate

1470
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: four yesterday and I am I am on a quest

1471
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: to have one of those ten and o nine and

1472
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,600
Speaker 1: one weeks. That just separates us from the pack and

1473
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: then we're off for the races. Give me Mississippi State

1474
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: plus nine and a half. They're hosting Tennessee Saturday, three

1475
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 1: thirty game. Big opportunity for Jefflebyan the Boys, The Model

1476
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: loves Mississippi State. I'll talk more about it later in

1477
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: the week. And first time in a long time, which

1478
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: is a good song by Derek Rutten, who is a

1479
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 1: Canadian country artists. Back in the two thousands, some people

1480
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: ask me for music advice and there you go. First

1481
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: time in a long time. We are not picking at

1482
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: our food. We are not making fun of food. We

1483
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:16,599
Speaker 1: are not warning people not to lose to food. We

1484
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 1: are betting on food. Rice plus fourteen and a half

1485
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 1: at Navy. What a time to be alive. I have

1486
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: full circle on rice. I've come full circle on rice,

1487
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 1: not even immunity. Rice plus fourteen and a half. They

1488
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: are playing good football, inspired football, the kind of football, frankly,

1489
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: that you want to see from food. That's what's being played.

1490
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: So Mississippi State plus nine and a half, Rice plus

1491
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half. That is our show tonight. I

1492
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll be back Tuesday, and I cannot stress

1493
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: this enough. Don't miss the Tuesday show because it is

1494
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: the biggest prediction show we will have done all year.

1495
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: Week one was huge. I think this week is even

1496
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 1: bigger and so well, we may go two hours Tuesday

1497
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 1: night because we'll have the JP pole as well, who

1498
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 1: we could have breaking coaching news I don't know. Don't

1499
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 1: miss the Tuesday show. You know, at general rule of thumb,

1500
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 1: don't miss any show, but especially the Tuesday Show. Appreciate
