1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: College football apostles.

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: It's your boy, George Rice, the former NFL player, college

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: football player, college football.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Analyst over at c W.

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: My main man, Ralph Amsden, who is the college football savant,

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: the college football rain man, and the man that knows

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: all the obscure stats. He should be your phone, a

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: friend if you need, if you were on Who Wants

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: to be a Millionaire? We got a lot going this weekend,

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: so some teams had their bye weeks, but there is

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: absolute chaos in college football. The SEC bias is at

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: one hundred percent max right now. Penn State fired James

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: Franklin and the ripple effects are being felt all across

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: college football. Shoe companies are involved. This is absolute madness, USC, Michigan, USC,

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. How good are these teams? And so much

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: more Here on the programs. Make sure that you'd like subscribe,

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: get notifications, tell a friend about the show. We always

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: start with our biggest takeaway from last week? Ralph, what

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: was your biggest takeaway from Week seven in college football?

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: As we had in the week eight.

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: I think the Big twelve's got a contender. I think

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: Texas Tech can hang. I don't know, I don't know.

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: About winning the championship, but six games have gone by,

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: and through six games, David Bailey, who they added from

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: Stanford as sort of like a rush and linebacker Romelo Height.

26
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: I think between the two of them is the most

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: successful edge rushing pairing in all of college football. They

28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: have two good quarterbacks. Cameron Dickie's a fantastic running back.

29
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: The offensive line is blocked well. They are number two

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: in the country Georgian first quarter scoring and pretty easy

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: to get things work.

32
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: And I've been saying this that why on earth are

33
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: we ignoring Texas Tech. It's because they're in the Big Twelve.

34
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: If they were in the SEC, they'd be the number

35
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: one team in the nation right now. Oh they would,

36
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: they would happily. But but they want to keep jumping them.

37
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: They don't believe this Arizona State game this weekend is

38
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: going to go a long way into But at the

39
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: same time, it won't because they'll.

40
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: Still be like, oh, it was just Arizona State.

41
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: They're not even ranked right now, considering that they were

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: ranked last week and they just played without their quarterback.

43
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: But you know who, who's who's counting? Who's counting?

44
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: I mean, Oklahoma was playing without their quarterback. Their quarterback

45
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: just came came back and was buns because he probably

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: shouldn't have been playing.

47
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: But hey, let's give Oklahoma to benefit of.

48
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if these Red Raiders have a weak spot,

49
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 3: but they have a lot of they have. If you

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: were to put together like an all Big twelve team

51
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: to run up against, they probably have four guys on

52
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: defense that in a conference of like sixteen teams. That's

53
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: crazy that Malcolm Rodriguez, Romelo Height, David Bailey like that

54
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: these guys would all be on it. And then their

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: backup quarterback is one of the scariest prospects I've seen

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: in a really long time. Physically developed rocket arm can

57
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: run has poised like I and he grew up in

58
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: the shadow of University of Texas and he's playing for Tech.

59
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: It's pretty funny. It's kind of like Baker Mayvie.

60
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: What the craziest part about the whole Texas Tech situation

61
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: is they just had a twenty twenty seven to five

62
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: star reclassify a twenty twenty six and people were mad.

63
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: Ralph people are mad. Oh see, this is just proof

64
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: that that college football is broken. College football is broken

65
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: because who the Texas kids. He was gonna take a

66
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: trip to Georgia and he just canceled it. He's reclassifying

67
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: and he shut down his recruitment. He's more worried about

68
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: money than development. And it's like what what, Yes, Texas

69
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: Tech is buying an amazing roster. Joey McGuire is a

70
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: very good head coach. How many players has Texas Tech

71
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: put in the NFL? Well, won a lot, but also no,

72
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: not as many as Georgia. But it might become like

73
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: Georgia if Cody Campbell keeps spending that money wisely.

74
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: And it's like the NFL argument is so hard when

75
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: Patty Mahomes is out here, it's so difficult to.

76
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: Make they are I mean, Crabtree had a good career.

77
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: There's so many dudes that are just named brand as well.

78
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: But these are not the old days people. Yes, I'm

79
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: not mad at Texas Tech buying up the best recruits,

80
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: because you know what, for so long the have have

81
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: had so much and now they are getting run out

82
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: of the building.

83
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: And I told everybody this was like Bane and Batman.

84
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: This was like Bane. He told them, Ralph, right.

85
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 3: No, no, you did not. I loved you attributed probably

86
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: one of my all time favorite movie quotes to the

87
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: wrong character and just alarm bells going off in my head.

88
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: Earlier this week on on Afraid Show, Selena Kyle Catwoman

89
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: told Bruce Wayne that you better batten down the hatches

90
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 3: because the storm's coming and all of you are going

91
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: to wonder how you live so long, so large, and

92
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: left so little for the rest of us. Like it's

93
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: time for the rich people to panic, and we're in that.

94
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: We're in that state of panic right now. This is

95
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: also this is kind of how basketball works. You have

96
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: people reclassify all the time. You've had quarterbacks reclassify. It's

97
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: not and also like they still have to perform. It's

98
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: a risk to pay freshmen, it really is. Yep, I'm

99
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: an Arizona State graduate. They don't do it. They won't

100
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: pay a freshman. They'll wait until you know, somebody wants to.

101
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: Glory and Moore committed, they will, they will pay pay him.

102
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: I promise if they get more committed, they or they will.

103
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: I promise you that.

104
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 2: It's because they have not run into one of those

105
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: guys that was going to commit, that was that that

106
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: they felt like was gonna for sure be a starter

107
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 2: on day one, because I promise you when when when

108
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: he does, when Kenny Dillingham does.

109
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: They will pay I promise you.

110
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, no, that makes sense. But it is risky.

111
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: It's very risky to pay freshmen, yes, and Texas Tech

112
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: has the resources to take that risk right now. And

113
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 3: also we're in the sort of in between of when

114
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: you can get somebody you know in on a on

115
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: a contract with getting money that is maybe outside of

116
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: the house, you know, because when does that go into effect,

117
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: Because if you can reclassify and be a mid year enrollie,

118
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: maybe that first six months he's outside that and he's

119
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: able to get the figure out.

120
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: Second that you step on campus, that's when it has

121
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: to start. And they're trying to have where high school

122
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: kids have to then report their deals if they're being

123
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: paid from from schools. The house settlement stuff is still

124
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: a mess because only one conference has signed up for

125
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: the UH for the CSC, the College Sports Commission. Even

126
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: though they all fought to be in there and get

127
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: it signed and get the house settlement, it's.

128
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: Still not resolved. People.

129
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: I just want everybody to fully understand that no matter

130
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: what has happened, it's still not resolved. The College Sports

131
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: Commission has no power in terms of enforcement yet there

132
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: is nothing is being done, but they're just pretending.

133
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: They're just kicking the can down the street.

134
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: So all the people that fought for this are now like, yeah, yeah,

135
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: we're not gonna sign.

136
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: It, so then you can get punishes. No, this is

137
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: this is madness.

138
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: But my biggest takeaway was from this last week is

139
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: that what we just talked about, nobody's safe right now.

140
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: Oregon's not safe against Indiana, Alabama's not safe versus Tennessee.

141
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: Nobody is safe.

142
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: When you line up in college football right now, you

143
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: are not safe. We are constantly seeing these lines fall

144
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: like they're way less two touchdown too touchdown and more

145
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: lines than you have ever seen, Like we should see

146
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: way more in conference thirty point lines. Nope, nope, And

147
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: now them lines ain't even safe.

148
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: The top of the twelve team Yeah, ever seen a

149
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: top twelve team be a road dog against an unranked team? Yeah? Exactly, yep.

150
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: So I love it. I love it.

151
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: But let's let's get into the topics. Ralph, where are

152
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: we starting at today?

153
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: So?

154
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: Uh, our storyline segment, I want to get right into

155
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: the Deon Sanders, thing that happened this last week. I'm

156
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: overjoyed that you were not aware of it. But Dion

157
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 3: Sanders held a portal hopper scrimmage during the during the

158
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: bye week. This is their bye week. They just finished

159
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: beating Iowa State, and Dion got his team together and

160
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 3: he said, I'm not crazy enough to think that all

161
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: of you are going to be in this room next year.

162
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 3: Some of you are going to jump in the portal.

163
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: This is an opportunity for you to get some portal film.

164
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: So the first teamers watch from the sidelines while Colorado

165
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: held an intrasquad scrimmage on Wednesday at the Ford practice facility,

166
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: and Deon said, it's gonna be game day. A lot

167
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: of you want to be in the game on Saturday.

168
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: So you're gonna get in this game right here, play

169
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: all out football, and we're gonna film it and we're

170
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: gonna cut it up. And if you do stay at Colorado,

171
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: this is gonna give you a measuring stick of where

172
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: you're at and what you need to improve. And if

173
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: you don't, this is gonna be the film that you

174
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: cut up. We will hype it up, we'll give it

175
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 3: to you and We'll make sure you look good and

176
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 3: you can send this tape to other teams. What do

177
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: you think about this.

178
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: George Dion Sanders, Okay, bring it in everybody.

179
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: I could not love this any more.

180
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: I could not love it anymore because Deon Sanders, who

181
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: I think.

182
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: Has abused the portal a little bit.

183
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: Right, he understands that and this is the right thing

184
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 2: for his players because one of the hardest things that

185
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: kids suffer with. I'm talking about the kids that get

186
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: stuck in the transfer portal, whether they get pushed out

187
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: of a school or they voluntarily choose to leave, is

188
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: when they have not played. It is hard for them

189
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: to get to convince other places that they can play

190
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: football because they haven't played and all they have is

191
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 2: cut ups from practice. Oh, they're on scout team and

192
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: all this stuff, and it ain't the same, Like it

193
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: doesn't feel the same. But when you have you know,

194
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: if you're a quarterback hopping in the portal and you

195
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: actually have live game reps essentially where somebody's trying to

196
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: sack you, hit you all of those things, or you're

197
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: a wide receiver and you might get blown up and

198
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: you catch balls and all that.

199
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: Dude, This is.

200
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: The perfect opportunity for kids to potentially get on the

201
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: field at Colorado or find a new place if they

202
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: choose to leave Colorado, or like Deonzai, use it as

203
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: a measuring stick.

204
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: This is honestly great for the kids.

205
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: But you have most coaches who do not have the

206
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: who don't have the foresight and live from a place

207
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 2: of scarcity that they wouldn't dare do this. You have

208
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: to be confident and be able to stand in who

209
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: you are to do this, because if not, you're like,

210
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: oh my god, my kids will hop into portal. Create

211
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: a culture where they don't want to leave, a culture

212
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: where they know they're gonna get developed, a culture where

213
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: they know that they're gonna be able to get nil

214
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: money as well, and you will retain the majority of

215
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: your roster. Yes, some people will leave because it might

216
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 2: be best for them to leave for either personal reasons,

217
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: football reasons, financial reasons, whatever it is. And if you

218
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: are a coach, that is part of your task is

219
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: to be able to help the kids in your program

220
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: to either get to a new program or to stay

221
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: put in your program. I love this from Dion Sanders.

222
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: This is this is the Lord's work.

223
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 3: I get the feeling that he's not rooting on anybody's demise,

224
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 3: even if they don't show up for him in the

225
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: way that they would hope. I don't think he's a

226
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: grudge holder. I think he sees Cormoni MacLean out here

227
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 3: getting interceptions at Florida. I think he even though they,

228
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: you know, we figure that there's probably some bad blood there,

229
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: I think he's happy about it. I think he wants

230
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: to see these young men succeed.

231
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

232
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 3: And I like that. It feels like the most modern

233
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: era story. Though I can't recall anything like this. It

234
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: reminds me a little bit of the College Football Playoff

235
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: last year, when you know, Bo Prabula had to leave,

236
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: Devin Brown had to leave, but Kenny Dillingham had people

237
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: who already picked like he had a tight end Marcuston Douglas,

238
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 3: who already announced that he was transferring back to Florida

239
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: State play in the College Football Playoff with Arizona State.

240
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: It's it is just the most modern thing. And I

241
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: know that there are fans of other sports who look

242
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: at this and they don't necessarily think it's a big deal.

243
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: Like if you're a soccer fan, like you could get

244
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: players on loan. You know, there's things that aren't super

245
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: But if you're a college football fan, it's just a

246
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: new and different thing every single day, and you know,

247
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: say what you want, love it or hate it, you

248
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: do have to stop and really chew on this story.

249
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: It is very, very different. And then you gotta wonder, dude,

250
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: should we be doing this?

251
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: Yes, you should be doing this, Yes you should be.

252
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: And there are so many people that live from a

253
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: scarcity mindset, crabs in a bucket. Oh my god, if

254
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: somebody like I can't help anybody else out because that

255
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: might hurt me.

256
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: No, that's not how this works. I love it. I

257
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: love it. Good good on beyond that, this is the

258
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Lord's work.

259
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: This is exactly what college football coaches should be doing.

260
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: Now. Okay, So to move on to our next story

261
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: and our next couple of stories. Actually, sometimes I feel

262
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: bad for you, George, because you are we're paired up

263
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: in this together, have been for many years, and we're different.

264
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: We look we look alike, and we're both great athletes.

265
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: But there are some things in there that such as

266
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 3: like I am financially ignorant, not illiterate, ignorant, like I

267
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: just I kind of exist outside of a space of

268
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: where I'm concerned about the business of college football, and

269
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: I get caught off guard by a lot of things

270
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: because that's not that's not really my area of interest

271
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: or expertise. However, these next two topics, they seem important,

272
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: and I do need you to explain to me why

273
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: they matter, why they are important, Okay, and one of

274
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: which you put out a tweet and you're getting some

275
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: backlash on it right now, but you alluded to the

276
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: fact that it is very possible Adidas is involved in

277
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: guiding the hand of Penn State into looking for their

278
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: next coach. And so my question for you, George, and

279
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: what I think a lot of other people would would

280
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: question you on, maybe some with malice, maybe some with curiosity.

281
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: Why why would a Das be involved in something like this?

282
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: Their shoe people, there are apparel people.

283
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

284
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: First thing is, Ralph, you've known me for a long time. Yeah,

285
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: how many times? Like what do you think about batting?

286
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: Average is when when when I tell you, because there's

287
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff that doesn't go on air when

288
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: I tell you, like yo, like this is what's happening

289
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, And blah blah blah, like what is

290
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: my batting average? If I'm like, yo, yore, here is

291
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: what I heard, and this is how it's supposed to

292
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: play out, and here's what's really going on, and not

293
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: I think that this is what's happening. This is what

294
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: I'm told is what's happening.

295
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the stuff that you talked to me

296
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 3: about versus the stuff that you actually put out publicly

297
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: is probably like a five to one ratio. And so

298
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 3: you know, I would say that when you're putting it

299
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: out publicly, you feel really good when you're just talking

300
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: to me about it. So here's an example. You called

301
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: me and said, this is what's going on with Dean

302
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: Sanders x y Z health issues. Here's what he's gonna

303
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 3: announce and win. You didn't say anything publicly about it.

304
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: You didn't like, you didn't report it. You didn't say like, hey,

305
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: I know what's going on. I know why he wasn't

306
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: at Spring. But he told me. And then I went

307
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: to my kids and I was like, hey, watch what

308
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: this press conference this is gonna be about. This is

309
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: gonna be really really interesting. We're gonna watch kind of

310
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: a man talk about his actual like medical procedures mortality,

311
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: that this is very different. It's gonna be a very

312
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: different thing that you're about to witness. And so like,

313
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: I not only did I trust you on it, I

314
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: trust enough to like sit with my kids and watch

315
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 3: this this press cover. Like I I'm somebody like maybe

316
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: to a lot of people on Twitter, you're like blue

317
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: check mark former football player. But the conversations that you

318
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: and I have there is not not hyperbole, not guessing that.

319
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: That's just not how it is in our conversation. And

320
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: I'm also like, I'm pretty aggressively honest. And when I

321
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: when people do bloviate or they are vapid, I call

322
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: that type of stuff out. That's not type of relationship

323
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: we have. When you tell me something's about to happen,

324
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 3: it's on the way. And when you tweet about something,

325
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: it means that you've gone far beyond just feel like

326
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: you're comfortable to talk to me about it. So I

327
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: not only is it a good track record, like I

328
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 3: would my news from you. I would, And that's not

329
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: me blowing smoke for the sake of this. I think

330
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 3: you know I'm I'm chronically honest to my own detriment.

331
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 3: I would trust you on anything in this regard. Okay.

332
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: So with that said, the tweet that I put out was,

333
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: I said, let me find it. I said, per sources,

334
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: Adidas is involved with the next Penn State higher They

335
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: are trying to protect their massive investment. They did not

336
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: get Franklin fired, but are definitely pushing to get one

337
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: particular coach. Question is will he say yes? And what

338
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: if they play into January? That was the tweet, And

339
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 2: mind you, this kind of followed up on the on

340
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: the heels of let me find the guy's name. It

341
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: is Mike Astey, who is a like he covers college

342
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 2: football for. He's a managing editor at West Virginia Sports now,

343
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Sports Now, national writer at Yard Barker, contributor to

344
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: Sirius XM, and then a bunch of other places. Right,

345
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: So he tweeted out the other day essentially that Adidas

346
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: got James Franklin fired, or that they had a hand

347
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 2: in it because he wanted because they wanted to, Like,

348
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 2: they're concerned about this brand deal. And if you don't know,

349
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: Penn State is switching from Nike. They've been with Nike

350
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: for thirty three years. They were actually the I believe

351
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: the first school that Phil Knight and company signed to

352
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: like apparel deal even before, or that they were the

353
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: first one. And now here's what I do know that

354
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: Joe Paterno and Phil Knight.

355
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: Were super close, super super close.

356
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: There was a building name that Nike after Joe Paterno,

357
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: all of these things. So and that Phil Night actually

358
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: got involved late with the with the negotiations. There's stuff

359
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: going on, like the Border Trustees is not happy with

360
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: their with Pat Kraft, their Penn State's athletic director because

361
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: they're like, yo, you didn't tell.

362
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: Us everything with this deal.

363
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 2: You gave us notes and this didn't really match up

364
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: exactly right, and that the Nike deal was better long term,

365
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: but that the Adidas deal, which is a three year

366
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: of a ten year around three hundred million dollars. But

367
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: they're also going to here, here's the important point. Adidas

368
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: is contributing to to their NIL and then athlete branding

369
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: and all of this stuff. And so they're going to

370
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: essentially saying that they're going to contribute to their NIL

371
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: stuff and sign guys to Adidas deals and then market

372
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: some of their players. And my entire and what I've

373
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: heard about this situation is exactly what I tweeted that

374
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: pit that Adidas is pushing one particular coach, and there

375
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: was pushback and langdon trap well.

376
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: Did I say his name right?

377
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: I don't make sure you get you don't disrespect your detractor, yes, Land.

378
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, so and and this is and I

379
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: wanted to say it right because I don't what there's

380
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: no disrespect that He was, yes, like you he's locked

381
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: in with with pen Penn State. And he was like, George,

382
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 2: do you think that that Pat Craft is gonna let

383
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: a shoe company get involved get involved in this?

384
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, actually I do.

385
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: Adidas is essentially, if you think about this, Adidas is essentially.

386
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: A Penn State booster coming up.

387
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: Now, mind you, this doesn't start till next year in

388
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, but we're getting ready to think that

389
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: that Adidas, who this is the biggest deal that they've

390
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: ever done with at school.

391
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: They have overpaid for this.

392
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 3: Why can I can I interrupew you real quick because

393
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: Penn State fans might hear that and take it as disrespect.

394
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: Why is Adidas overpaying for this particular contract?

395
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: Because number one, Penn State is one of the biggest

396
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: alumni bases in college football, they sell tons of merch

397
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: like it is one of the biggest brands, and so

398
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: Adidas needs them to be good. Adidas can't have them

399
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 2: higher and it not work out well. So this is

400
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: no different than Oregon's biggest booster, Phil Knight. Do you

401
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: think that anybody gets hired in a significant position at

402
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: Oregon that impacts the bottom line?

403
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: Ralph, whether it's basketball.

404
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: Football, even softball, that that that Phil Knight's not like okay,

405
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that.

406
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 3: I've seen his parking space at all ten.

407
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: Do you believe that that code that anything's happening at

408
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: Texas Tech without code significant, without Cody Campbells stamp of approval?

409
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: Not right now?

410
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: How about you know at Florida or Who's or Auburn

411
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: or any of these places.

412
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: Or Lex Westerner at or Les Wexner at Ohio State

413
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 3: or the giant booster that helped fund the Bryce Underwood

414
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: flip at Michigan, like some people got.

415
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 2: Influence, correct, And y'all don't believe that a shoe company

416
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: who's now doing in kind of an un precedented deal

417
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: is not going to say, listen, we need to.

418
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: Like like crapa crap.

419
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: Yes, you get to have your say so, but we

420
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: gotta stamp off on this because yeah, and sometimes that

421
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 2: help and all of this stuff, so we gotta be

422
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: okay with this.

423
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: Hire.

424
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes that phrasing is like, hey, let us know how

425
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 3: we can support you in this, followed by a long,

426
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 3: silent stare.

427
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey, you know, just.

428
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: Let's let us know as you you know, as you

429
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: move through the process, so we can be of assistance.

430
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 2: It stares you directly in the face, and you're like

431
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: it because because you can apply pressure without explicitly saying, hey,

432
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: don't do anything without without hitting us up.

433
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm letting you know that.

434
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: And there's nothing weak or insulting about having that level

435
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: of power or for friend, they are in your corner.

436
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Like, for instance, my son, he's a grown

437
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: independent man, he's getting his own money, he's in college,

438
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: all of them things. Do you think that he's gonna

439
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 2: make a significant financial decision or something without that could

440
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 2: if it blows.

441
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: Up, I might end up having to help him out.

442
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: Do you think that I'm not getting a phone call

443
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 2: like like a dad, I'm thinking about.

444
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Doing doing this? All right? Son?

445
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: Go on or nah, don't do this because because if you.

446
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: Do this, yo, yo, you're on your own. Yeah, you

447
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 3: don't want to be you don't want you if you

448
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 3: get into a three hundred million dollars deal, Like God,

449
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: think about just as a regular person. You got somebody

450
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 3: who invests thirty thousand dollars in you, like they just

451
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: in in something that you're working on, Like they're gonna

452
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: have a say, yes, this is three hundred million dollars

453
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 3: at what was? If I'm not mistake and Phil Knight's

454
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: like original contract. Yes, with any institution, this is a

455
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: this is yes, man, if I'm stepping out of bound,

456
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: this is a proxy war a little bit too.

457
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh oh, it definitely is. This is Adidas and

458
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: Nike are at war right now. This this is a

459
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: war between the two of them. And that was a

460
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: shot across across Nike's bound And yeah, that that is

461
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 2: definitely a shot.

462
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: So that you that you said landed, This is a

463
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 3: shot that landed.

Speaker 1: Yes, this is this one? Was this one was?

467
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: killed the dude's son.

468
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: Pierce Pierce Broston's son can't can you look up the show?

469
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got you.

470
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: So Pierce Broston is like, this gangster guy is like

471
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 2: a you know, like a crime family.

472
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: Yes, Mobland.

473
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: He kills his son, and they basically are like, it's

474
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: like it's a shot across the back. They they they

475
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: could have killed the one that they didn't really care

476
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: about that that much, but instead they killed the one

477
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 2: that they actually cared about. He actually that mattered to him.

478
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: And that's what Penn State did. That's what Adidas did

479
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: to the Nike. They kn't like, the only person that

480
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: you could have killed or got to more.

481
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: Is is Oregon.

482
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: That's the only other way that you could have heard him,

483
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: heard him, hurt him worse. You couldn't have hurt him

484
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: worse with USC. You couldn't have hurt him worse with anybody.

485
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: And mind you, the USC contract is getting renegotiated and

486
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: all that stuff too, and Adidas is trying to steal

487
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: USC too. This is a whole other, whole nother conversation.

488
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: But uh but uh yeah, so that's the situation. And

489
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: so we and you have heard the names Kurt Signetti

490
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: and you've heard the name Matt Ruhle involved in this,

491
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: People are like, oh, he would never leave there. Indiana

492
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: is a is a big time Adidas property. Yeah in basketball?

493
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: Are they good in football?

494
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: Now? Yes?

495
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: Would Indiana is a and And mind you, I mean

496
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: this with all the respect in the world to Indiana.

497
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: They have great fans and all of these things.

498
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: Indiana football doesn't matter yet they are not a significant

499
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: driver of revenue at all.

500
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: Indiana basketball is a whole different thing, whole different thing.

501
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: Like if we were talking about Penn State, and if

502
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: we were talking about Indiana basketball and Indiana fans should

503
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: be able to understand this. If we were talking about

504
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: Indiana basketball still in Penn State basketball's coach, what would

505
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: we be talking about. But now we're talking about Penn

506
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: State trying to steal Indiana's football coach.

507
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: It's the exact same thing, except except opposite.

508
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: Indiana's just having a good a good run right right

509
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: now and they're trying to level up as a program,

510
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: and I've commended them. They're trying to do what Oregon has.

511
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: Done so and it's not it's not robbing Peter to

512
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: pay Paul to want Penn State to hire current Signetti.

513
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 3: It's all Paul to them. Yes, it's all Paul like,

514
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: so and you and I actually had.

515
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: This feelish Indiana.

516
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: They'll help backfield in Indiana or or they will try

517
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: to help out one of their other brands that that's

518
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: more significant.

519
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: And you so you, you and I actually had this

520
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 3: conversation last year. I don't know if you remember this.

521
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: I called you and I was like, ooh, Adidas really

522
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 3: wasn't ready for Arizona State in Indiana to make the

523
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: college football playoffs. Because I'm an Adidas guy. I where Adidas.

524
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: My family wears Adidas. You know that. And I called

525
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: you and I was like, man, I got a friend

526
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 3: who went to school in Bloomington, and you know, I

527
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 3: went to Arizona State and I'm on the website trying

528
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: to get apparel. Like they weren't ready. They didn't do

529
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: anything special. They didn't really move or promote the merch

530
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 3: all that much on the football end. They there was

531
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: no ultimately, like you know, you know a school that

532
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: they do promote is Washington. That is a school that

533
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: because I'm on Adidas website once a week looking at deals.

534
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: My son's a Washington fan for who knows why. And

535
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: I got a neighbor, who's a big Indiana guy. I'm

536
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: an Arizona State gu. I'm always on the website. Two

537
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: of those teams made the college football playoffs and they

538
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: just weren't ready. They didn't have anything, couple of generic

539
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: T shirts. They really didn't move outside of their apparel plan.

540
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 3: They Who knows why Adidas has Arizona State. They had

541
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: Indiana for basketball, and maybe Adidas had it for Hurley

542
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: like they were betting on Bobby Hurley being maybe better

543
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: than he was. But but you know a lot of

544
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: these are basketball investments and the football got good on accident.

545
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: Where do you think, Ralph, that Indiana football ranks amongst

546
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: Texas A and M, Miami, Washington, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Kansas,

547
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: and I'm talking about in football, Nebraska, in Louisville, n

548
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 2: C State in college football.

549
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 3: Last last This was not because you're not just factoring

550
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 3: in last year. You're factoring in when they signed these contracts.

551
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: Ralph, I am on Adidas site. I typed in college football.

552
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, here's the exact order of the

553
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: brands that are on their site. Okay, Texas Tech like

554
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: like in terms of I typed in college foot football,

555
00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: So so we can go to Texas Tech There Investments, Washington, Miami,

556
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech, Arizona. I'm just going in order of the

557
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: way that they showed up Texas A and M Washington

558
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: again grambling Texas Tech because it's because remember they are

559
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: big in the mahomes business. So Miami, Mississippi State, Arizona State,

560
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, in c State, Georgia Tech, Texas A and

561

Speaker 2: M Nebraska, Kansas East, Arizona State, Miami, Texas Tech, Nebraska, Miami,

562
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, Nebraska, Washington, Nebraska, Washington, Louisville, Louisville, n C State,

563
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: Mississippi State, Kansas, Arizona. Hold up, I'm at the end

564
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: of the page. I haven't gotten to Indiana yet.

565
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 3: No, And I text you about this too, didn't I

566
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: Adidas has so many red teams, the.

567
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: Ralph the next to there's one, two, three, four, five things.

568
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: It is the fifth to last thing on Adidas site

569
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: when you type in college football mm hmm fit. It

570
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: is on the second page, at the bottom of the

571
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 2: second page.

572
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: So don't sit here and tell me.

573
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: And then and and I'm and this is not a

574
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: knock on Indiana because I love what they're doing. I

575
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 2: love their trying to come up like this is no

576
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: knock on them, but this is no different than what

577
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: Oregon went through. Like, there's no difference. They're in the

578
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: same boat right now. So so it's not a knock

579
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: on them.

580
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: Oregon was them.

581
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 3: No. Indiana fans will tell you this that Adidas isn't

582
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 3: like that that they got good in football and they

583
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: didn't have, uh like a plan to really promote it.

584
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 3: And not only are you in the team apparel business,

585
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 3: you're also in the colorway business. So if you're on there,

586
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 3: like just in red and black and red and white apparel,

587
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 3: Indiana is prioritized behind the Louisville's and in the Texas

588
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: Techs and all of these other schools that have that colorway. Nebraska, right,

589
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 3: red and white selling better for Nebraska than it is

590
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: for Indiana, and so it's not promoted very well. And

591
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: so you know, and again that's we're talking football, we're

592
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: not talking basketball, which Adidas I'm sure treats Indiana very well.

593
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 3: There is a precious investment for them on the basketball

594
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: and I'm sure of it, but you know, I don't know.

595
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 3: I'm gonna deep this guy. We've had all these conversations.

596
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: It's just not you know, we're talking to each other

597
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 3: defending a point that I don't think you need to defend.

598
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: These are big time business investments, and these businesses want

599
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 3: you to succeed so that you will sell more apparel

600
00:35:54,719 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 3: so that they can get their investment back on.

601
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 2: So I'm this is no knock against Indiana, but reality

602
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: is reality. But there are some other aspects to it,

603
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: which with which is timing?

604
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: Right?

605
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 2: Kurtzignetti like, there there's kind of two paths, right, So

606
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: he would be my number one guy that if I

607
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: could get him, okay, because you're gonna bring juice, You're

608
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: gonna bring energy, like he's going to get out there

609
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: and Penn State is going to be talked about, like

610
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: Penn State is already one of the biggest brands in

611
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 2: college football, but now you've thrown gasoline on them because

612
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: this dude's a maniac, right it, And and I mean

613
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: that in a good way.

614
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

615
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: So he would be my first hire, but the problem is.

616
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: I can't see And then also I think that you

617
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: have to factor in he was sixty one when he

618
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 2: got the Indiana job, so he felt passed over people.

619
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: Weren't you know what I mean for a long time.

620
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 2: And now he's sixty four and he's like, I'm trying

621
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: to get to a championship period. I you know, everybody

622
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 2: else they got their turn, this is my turn. Now

623
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: they are And he's got his boys with him. So

624
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: he and this isn't going to be a money play

625
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 2: because he's making good money at Indiana. He's making nine

626
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: million dollars coaches pool is really good. This ain't about

627
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: money because if Penn State pays him eleven minute, there's like,

628
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 2: you don't really jump around for a couple of dollars

629
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 2: at that point, at that point in time. But this

630
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: can be about can I win a national championship here?

631
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 2: So there is two and I do believe and I've

632
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: talked about the world's changing all this stuff, But there

633
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 2: are two paths Ralph.

634
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: One of them is.

635
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: What if Indiana wins the Big Ten and they don't

636
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: play till the second round of the playoffs in in

637
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: January and essentially January first, Mmm, you can't announce him

638
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: as your head coach.

639
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: You cannot.

640
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: So even if you having an agreement in principle, if

641
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 2: Indiana goes to go win a national championship.

642
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: Can you count on.

643
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: That it would be outside the portal window too? Right?

644
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: Yes, So can you count on that to where you're like,

645
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: oh yeah, our our head coaches, you know, like, if

646
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: he won a national championship, can you count on the

647
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: fact that he's one hundred going to still leave? No?

648
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 3: Right, that's tough. I mean, I just and then you

649
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 3: never know what's in a dude's heart and head. If

650
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 3: if he wins a Natty, why would why would he leave?

651
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

652
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 2: Like, I can win, I can win win here. I

653
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: don't need to go nowhere else.

654
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've taken away the one doubt. What you need

655
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: is for in the Big Ten Championship for Ryan Day

656
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: to step on their necks for me to get in

657
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 3: his head. Yeah, which is what happened to Brian Kelly, right, yep,

658
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 3: It's happened to coaches all over the place, like I

659
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 3: need better players. Because one thing about college coaches that

660
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 3: we never seem to factor in all the way. And

661
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 3: you watch how college coach acts when they walk onto

662
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: a campus full of players that got the last coach fired,

663
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 3: You'll know exactly what what college coaches are about. When

664
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 3: you see a college coach walk onto a campus where

665
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 3: the last coach got fired. They don't trust a single

666
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 3: one of those players, because you guys got the last

667
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 3: coach fired. You're not gonna get me fired. If I

668
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 3: get fired, it's gonna be by players I bring in.

669
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

670
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 2: And you know what Kurt Signetti would do the first

671
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 2: day when he gets announced that one of the basketball games,

672
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: he gonna walk.

673
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: Up, walk on the court.

674
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 2: F Ohio State, f Alabama, f Oregon, f all of him.

675
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna be better than them, am.

676
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: I, because because that's what he did in Indiana. So

677
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: if you don't think he's gonna do it with a

678
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 2: Penn State logo, but I believe that Penn State should

679
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: hire one of two coaches. Brian Hartline, who is the

680
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: officer coordinator at Ohio State. His recruiting juice will translate buddy,

681
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 2: because he's the magic at Ohio State's wide receiver recruiting

682
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: and at you know, just the recruiting in general. He

683
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: is the magic aside from the brand, of course, he's

684
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: the magic. I would hire him or which which he

685
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: can be named head coach and still coaching in the playoffs,

686
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: which is what Dan Lanning did at Georgia and then

687
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 2: at taking an Oregon job, or I would hire Fran

688
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: Brown from Syracuse.

689
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: Do you know how much.

690
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 2: Juice either one of those dudes is gonna be able

691
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 2: to generate surrounding Penn State in press conferences and the like.

692
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: Fran Brown with a Penn State logo is.

693
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 2: Going to sign a top five class every year? Probably?

694
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: Yah.

695
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: But y'all want Matt Matt rule, and y'all want you know,

696
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: Nick Saban to come out of retirement and urban Meyer

697
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: and stop living in the past.

698
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 3: Greg McElroy wants Pat Fitzgerald.

699
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: Pat Fitzgerald.

700
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 2: Pet Fitzgerald will do a great job of building a consistent,

701
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,959
Speaker 2: very good football team.

702
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 3: Now you know what?

703
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: You know what that I love the recruit a top

704
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: five class every year, I don't know about that.

705
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 3: I love the idea of Penn State bringing somebody in

706
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 3: who wasn't aware of what was going on in the

707
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 3: locker room. Uh, that's not a joke. I'm genuinely laughing

708
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 3: at the at the prospect of like anyway we can move. So,

709
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 3: while we're recording, Michigan has solidified their stance against a

710
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 3: two point four billion dollar public investment in the Big Ten.

711
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 3: So Michigan is on record. Michigan Regent Jordan Acker just said,

712
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 3: enough is enough. Make no mistake. In five years, we

713
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 3: would regret this capital deal. George, I don't fully understand

714
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: what this even is. Will you explain to me why

715
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: the Big ten is seeking out two point four billion

716
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 3: dollars and why Michigan USC have come out against it?

717
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, Michigan, Ohio State.

718
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: You should be thanking Michigan right now because you were

719
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 2: on board, apparently with a dumb decision. USC. Great job

720
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 2: if you were fully against it as well. This is

721
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 2: one hundred percent lunacy. And the reason why because this

722
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 2: is private equity. Money es safely and I know that

723
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 2: part of it was going to be like the California

724
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: Firefighters or Police department pension fund and all of this stuff,

725
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: private investment and private equity. You know, we were getting

726
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 2: ready to spend some truth because the lights just went out.

727
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: But what was going to happen to the Big ten

728
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: on the back end of this?

729
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: If you've covered college football.

730
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: For any amount of time, if you've been following college

731
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: football apostles for any amount of time, this was going

732
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: to cause the Big ten to extend their media rights

733
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: obligation their granted rights for an additional minimum of ten years. Ralph,

734
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 2: who at some point in time signed a groundbreaking twelve year,

735
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: two billion dollar deal that was the greatest thing that

736
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: ever was. College football had ever seen so much more

737
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: money than anybody had ever seen and is now defunct.

738
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 3: Would you be talking about the Conference of Champions.

739
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 2: Yes, the PAC twelve, Ralph, we have seen this movie

740
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: before extending your grant of rights for additional For this

741
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 2: eleventy billion dollars up front, that two billion dollars will

742
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 2: be chump change.

743
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: In twelve years. That will be pennies on the dollar.

744
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 2: The whole thing with these media rights deals is to

745
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 2: keep them long but short at the same time intermediate

746
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 2: deal so you can keep getting back to the table.

747
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: Only in baseball do guys sign the deals ten twelve years,

748
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 2: But they do it when they're thirty because they know

749
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 2: they're getting over that get their dollar cost averaging it.

750
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: In this the Big ten is still in its prime.

751
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 2: It's always in its prime. Ask ask the acc how

752
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 2: good that that deal that was so magical to them

753
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 2: that's keeping them in their granted rights till twenty thirty five,

754
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 2: twenty thirty six, feels right now. It feels good because

755
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 2: they they've held Florida State in Clemson hostage, but it

756
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: don't feel.

757
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: Real good because you couldn't get back to the table.

758
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 2: And now your schools are operating at a at a

759
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: significant disadvantage. So, Ralph, I didn't tell you what my

760
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 2: stance on it, why I was so far against it

761
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 2: prior to the show.

762
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: But now that I've laid this out for you, what

763
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: are your thoughts?

764
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 3: Well, if you're comparing it to the PAC twelve, then

765
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 3: you know how I'm gonna feel. That's that was the worst.

766
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 3: The conference I loved is now dead and gone. And

767
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 3: so you know, you have always been an advocate for

768
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 3: shorter deals and more opportunities to renegotiate, and so you know,

769
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 3: again financially ignorant at times. I'm gonna go with you

770
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 3: on this one. I don't really care the big The

771
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 3: big ten is the has they're out here like to

772
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: be in a position where you turned two point four

773
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 3: billion down over eighteen teams or whatever. That sounds nice,

774
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 3: I'm trying to see what that'd be like.

775
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly so.

776
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 2: And Michigan's statement was like, yeah, this since essentially I'm paraphrasing, Yeah,

777
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: all this money is cool and all, but it doesn't

778
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: address costs, like like like we're spending too much.

779
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: We gotta figure that out.

780
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 2: And and like yeah, all this money sounds sounds cool

781
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 2: and all, but it don't address the real problems.

782
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 3: Makes sense. Well, we got some breaking news, George.

Speaker 2: He takes the he takes the job, takes a significant

799
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: pay cut, a step back because he's at Alabama recruiting

800
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 2: coordinator and everything else, and takes a huge step back.

801
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 2: And she wasn't on board. At first she was like, yo,

802

Speaker 2: you're making a lot of money everything as well, like don't,

803
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,840

00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 2: off on it.

805
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,840

Speaker 2: you can blink, he one hundred million up.

808
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 3: Not bad to get that at sixty four. That's a

809
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 3: that is the gamble paying off. And I know that's

810
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 3: the same age as Kyle Whittingham, who getting ready to

811

Speaker 1: Know what it is.

814
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:20,439

Speaker 2: He said, he's not fucking leaving. That's what That's what

816
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,120

Speaker 3: Direct her complaints that I'm mad at unafraid show dot

818
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:39,000

Speaker 3: performing at the highest levels in everything we do, and

820
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 3: no one has exemplified that more than coach Signetti put simply,

821
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 3: Siga is a winner from last year's College football Player

822
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 3: appearance in this year's Top three national ranking, the IU

823
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 3: football program success has been tremendous. Kurt and Manette Signetti

824
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 3: are home in Indiana, and we are delighted that the

825
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 3: Signetti family will be Hoogier's for for many years to come. George,

826
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 3: what do you think eleven point six million dollars a

827
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 3: year could buy in Bloomington?

828
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 2: Bloomington, Oh and after about five years, most of Bloomington.

829
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about. I told you in the University of

830
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 3: Indiana is one of the or Indiana University is one

831
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 3: of the best music schools in the country. Now I'm

832
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 3: looking at that and I'm like, oh, let me go

833
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 3: send my son there, get him on playing guitar and

834
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 3: and and and you know, maybe he can provide some

835
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 3: some acoustic entertainment for Kurt Signetty.

836
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: Get off that dumb Washington idea. But yeah, man, I'm

837
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 2: happy for Kurt Signatty his third contract in two years,

838
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 2: which is wild, But he was making nine million already.

839
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 2: I don't believe that this deal, that him leaving Indiana

840
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 2: or not, was ever going to be about money. I

841
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: don't think it was always going to be about and like, yes,

842
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 2: the school did clearly get get held hostage here, but

843
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 2: but actually I don't even think they got held hostage.

844
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 2: They were they were like, hey, Kurt, hey, Kurt do

845
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 2: you want to raise and they were like it was

846
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 2: like sure, yes, and then you.

847
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: For the and it was like, I.

848
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 2: Don't even think they negotiated. They were like, are you

849
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 2: cool with eleven point point six? He was like, yeah,

850
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 2: how much from my assistance?

851
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: Twelve eight? Yeah? Cool?

852
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 2: That works all right, Cool, let's go back practice. Like

853
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: I think that this was this was probably the easiest negotiation.

854
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 3: Of all time, negotiating against nobody.

855
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 2: So I believe don't is going to be about whether

856
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: he couldn't get to the if he believed he could

857
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, win a national championship in Indiana,

858
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: and if he was going to be willing to leave

859
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: to go to Penn State before the season was over.

860
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 3: There. You don't do this, though, You don't unless it

861
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 3: was a risk that somebody could come and pay him more.

862
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course somebody could try to pay him more,

863
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 2: But I don't believe that it was ever gonna come

864
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 2: down to money.

865
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I appreciate Indiana taking care of him, for sure,

866
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 3: But like I'm saying, you don't do it unless you're

867
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 3: a little scared.

868
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure.

869
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me, let let me listen to what

870
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 2: Indiana just re released from Kurt Signetti.

871
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 3: Are we cutting this part? Are we just giving everybody

872
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 3: a moment of silence?

873
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: No?

874
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no, okay, I'm listening to what he's saying

875
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 2: about it. You know, he's proud to be a Hoosier.

876
00:52:53,200 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 2: His wife loves it there, he loves the school. Oh see,

877
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: I appreciate this. He's like the way that they've embraced

878
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 2: us and loved us. Oh yeah, I just said I'm

879
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: gonna work daily, work hard, and I appreciate y'all and

880
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 2: everything else.

881
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: That's it. That's good stuff.

882
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of coach statements, I want to get into

883
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 3: our reister wrong segment. I'm gonna read you some coach

884
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,919
Speaker 3: statements and you tell me if they are reister or wrong.

885
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 3: And these are about the rumors that are flying around.

886
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 3: Not everybody has spoken on it, but enough people have.

887
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 3: So let's start out with your boy Dan Lanning quote.

888
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 3: I've been very clear and adamant that I'm not going anywhere.

889
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 3: A lot of coaches use that as an opportunity to say, Okay,

890
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 3: I'm either going to get a big raise where I'm at,

891
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 3: or maybe they really want that other job. I don't

892
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 3: want any other jobs. I've got the job. I want

893
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 3: reister wrong way to handle this.

894
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: That is the reister way to handle it. That is

895
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 2: the one reister that it is emphatic. There's there's no

896
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 2: double talk. It is if you do the opposite, you

897
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 2: are a liar. You are a fraudster. You are a liar.

898
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: That is.

899
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 2: Like, that's backing. That's not even painting yourself into a corner.

900
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 2: That is locking yourself into a box. And I mean

901
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 2: like you like you didn't get painted in the corner.

902
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 2: You painted the corner and you stood over there like

903
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 2: like you painted yourself and called it a corner.

904
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 3: Okay, next up, Eli Drinkwitz at Missouri. Uh, there's no

905
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,720
Speaker 3: such thing as journalistic integrity on social media. There's just wild,

906
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,479
Speaker 3: outlandish reporting. He's talking about himself and his assistant, Kirby Moore.

907
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 3: Kirby Moore never interviewed, He didn't talk to anybody at Arkansas.

908
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 3: It was all a bunch of bull crap. I don't

909
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 3: want to focus on that section. There's no such thing

910
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 3: as journalistic integrity on social media. Rights to or wrong way?

911
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 2: Wait he was he was asked about the Indiana job.

912
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,919
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, worry about the Penn State job.

913
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, he's so he's been linked to Florida,

914
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 3: to the potential to an Auburn, which are not open yet. Yeah,

915
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 3: and Arkansas, but Arkansas more so for his assistant, Kirby Moore.

916
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,280
Speaker 3: So he's saying there's no such thing as journalistic integrity

917
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 3: on social media. There's just wild, out landish reporting. Kirby

918
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 3: Moore never interviewed, he didn't talk to anybody in Arkansas.

919
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 3: It's all a bunch of crap. So he's speaking about

920
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 3: him being linked to jobs and his assistant being linked

921
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 3: to jobs.

922
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that that is reister for right now

923
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,240
Speaker 2: because Florida is not open and neither is Auburn. So

924
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 2: so what once those become open. Yes, the Eli Drinkowitz

925
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 2: will get calls and people have wondered if he would

926
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 2: go to Penn State. I don't believe that Penn State

927
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 2: is the spot for him. People have asked me about

928
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 2: will Stein at Penn State. I was like, I don't

929
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 2: think that Penn State is going to I don't even

930
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,959
Speaker 2: if will Stein did do a good job at Penn State.

931
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 2: I think that he would leave if Texas a and

932
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 2: m or Texas or Oklahoma became open and they offered

933
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 2: him because that's his region, that's where his fan is.

934
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: All that stuff.

935
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 2: Not that he not not the Penn State is not

936
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 2: a special place. But it's like Mario Cristoball at Oregon.

937
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he would have left her anywhere except

938
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,919
Speaker 2: for maybe Alabama and Miami one hundred percent short.

939
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 3: So I'll step in and say hashtag Alabama for Miami. Yeah,

940
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 3: but I do want to say hashtag NOTDL journalists. We're

941
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 3: painting everybody with the same brun brush. There, Eli Matt

942
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 3: Rule quote, This is not a jumping off job. This

943
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 3: is a destination job. This is one of the greatest

944
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 3: places in the world. I refuse to be distracted. That

945
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 3: is Matt Rule talking to Pat McAfee.

946
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: Wrong. Wrong.

947
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 2: You know what Matt Rule said that like because because

948
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 2: that wasn't even the whole quote.

949
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: He was just like, listen, this place should be a

950
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: beast and all of this. You know what he didn't say.

951
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: He didn't say, no, I'm not leaving.

952
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 2: He wants he either wants a raise or he wants

953
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: to PennState job.

954
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: One of the two.

955
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 2: There's a reason why he's saying no, And there's a

956
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 2: reason why his quarterback Dylan Ryola is he ain't going nowhere.

957
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: If he ain't going nowhere, then why not say it?

958
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: Matt rule, say the words.

959
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 2: Don't say the words two weeks from now, right before

960
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 2: they announce who the head coaching job is going to.

961
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: No say it, say it now, if you.

962
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 3: All right? Alex Golish quote this is at USF. Quote.

963
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 3: I'm never in my career outside of here chase the

964
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 3: job ever, and I don't intend to. I can promise

965
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 3: you I'm not talking to anybody. Some people will call

966
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 3: BS on it, and that's fine. Reis They're wrong Alex

967
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 3: Golish's response to UH to the coaching Carouselister.

968
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 2: I do not because I give all I give every

969
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 2: single G five coach of pass on.

970
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: You can.

971
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 2: You can BS your way through this whole thing. I don't,

972
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 2: because you know, there's a big difference in making you know,

973
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 2: one point five a year and making eight million dollars

974
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 2: a year and being at a power for a school.

975
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: I am not listen, Alex Goldish, you are one hundred percent, reister, buddy.

976
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 2: I know USF is a really good job and all

977
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 2: those things, but and he might be making closer you know,

978
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 2: two and a half and maybe but not too much

979
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 2: more than that, if so, And he doesn't know whether

980
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 2: he's a candidate or not, Like he may not be

981
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 2: the top guy that they're gonna look at at, you know,

982
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,439
Speaker 2: at some of these schools, and granted, just because you're

983
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 2: not the top guy doesn't mean that you're not the

984
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 2: right guy. So I listen, he could say anything, he'd

985
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 2: be like, listen, I'm not leaving us LF, and then

986
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 2: he leaves. I wouldn't even fall to them. He's trying

987
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 2: to keep his season together. They are ranked now, they

988
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 2: might go to the college football playoffs. He might not

989
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 2: get one of these jobs or want the one that's

990
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 2: offered to him, and he might be like, I'm gonna

991
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 2: stay over here. So he's got to keep his group together.

992
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 2: He's got to keep his team together, and he's got

993
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 2: to keep people foolishly believing that he's not leaving, that

994
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: he's willing to stay there and turn down other jobs

995
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 2: and turn that in a powerhouse.

996
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 3: The last one I got for you is a long one,

997
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 3: and he took some criticism for it, and I'll read

998
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 3: you his quote that he took criticism for it, and

999
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 3: then his follow up quote, this is Fran Brown at Syracuse.

1000
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 3: I'm working at Syracuse right now, so I really don't

1001
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 3: need to talk about that. If this wasn't where I

1002
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 3: wanted to be in the moment, would I be standing

1003
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 3: here at this moment. Yeah, So I'm just focused on that.

1004
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm focused on being here. I'm locked in on coaching

1005
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 3: the players that I have here. This is where I

1006
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 3: work at. I think that it's disrespectful to even bring

1007
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 3: up and ask that, Like, what is the point in

1008
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 3: asking that to make some media of me saying something opposite.

1009
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 3: They hired me to come here and do a job

1010
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 3: and coach this team, and that's what I'm doing. His

1011
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 3: follow up was on his own podcast, he said, how

1012
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 3: are you telling me my job isn't a big time job?

1013
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 3: It's Fran Brown reister wrong for this response.

1014
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 2: He's one rister because he's probably gonna be paying State's

1015
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 2: new head head coach that if if I had my

1016
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 2: my doing. Dude, that sounds exactly like Willy Tagger at

1017
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Oregon when they when they asked him, Yo, are you

1018
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 2: gonna are you gonna take the Florida Florida State job

1019
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 2: or are you committed to being at at at Oregon.

1020
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: Why would I not be.

1021
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 3: WILLI Tagger? WILLI Tagger did the ultimate like when people say,

1022
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: b where your feet are? I mean he technically was yeah,

1023
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 3: in Tyler Shuck's backyard, trying to recruit him to Oregon

1024
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 3: on the phone, getting in a private jet to Tallahassee.

1025
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 2: Yes, Hey, So this reminds me of something that my

1026
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 2: that Denisia, who if you don't know, is my wife.

1027
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 2: She would always, you know, like, hit the oblique obligatory, dude, due,

1028
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 2: you really love me?

1029
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Do you love me?

1030
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 2: I like, and my response would be a lot of

1031
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 2: a lot of times, I'm I'm I'm here, Anna. That

1032
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 2: would be my response. And then I figured out that

1033
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:20,920
Speaker 2: wasn't a good response, like I'm here Anna, and my

1034
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 2: point so I would say, I'm here, Anna, I'm never

1035
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 2: anywhere I don't want to be. And then and then

1036
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,959
Speaker 2: I thought about it. I do go places I don't

1037
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 2: want to be sometimes because because I have to be

1038
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 2: so and I'm like and so that hit me and

1039
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 2: I was like, no, babe, I do love it. I

1040
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 2: choose and then I re rephrased it because I was like,

1041
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 2: I want to be here. I choose to be here

1042
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 2: every single day because this is where I want to be, like,

1043
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 2: I love you because I choose to love you every

1044
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 2: single day, and I don't want to be anywhere else

1045
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 2: otherwise I would be and I don't want to be

1046
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 2: in there like I But I say it in a

1047
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 2: way that now it's like you know, Dan Dan Landing style?

1048
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: Intead?

1049
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you tried yes? Have you tried the word yes?

1050
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 3: All right, before we get in any more trouble, what

1051
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 3: are we looking forward to this weekend?

1052
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: He said? Have you tried the word yes?

1053
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 2: That that that would be a lot more simple, right, Yeah, Yes,

1054
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to how Matt rules team plays against Minnesota,

1055
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 2: how Nebraska plays against Minnesota on Friday. If they laid

1056
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 2: down and Minnesota beats Nebraska, oh you might be looking

1057
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 2: at your new pen pens, they head coach, because as

1058
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 2: soon as the team's play starts being impacted, you know

1059
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 2: what's up. I am interested in this Vanderbilt LSU game.

1060
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 2: I think Vanderbilt who's favored over When is the last

1061
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 2: time that Vanderbilt was favored over Lsu?

1062
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 3: Never?

1063
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Maybe? Never? Do dude?

1064
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 2: They have not been favored over an SEC opponent in

1065
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 2: any book since twenty eighteen, and some people are reporting

1066
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: since like the seventies. So uh so I'm interested in

1067
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 2: that game. I am, Oh my god, I don't even

1068
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 2: want to know what Indiana is gonna do to Michigan State.

1069
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 2: And now that Kurt Signetti has re upped, I want

1070
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 2: to see Texas Tech versus Areas on a state how

1071
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:38,479
Speaker 2: that turns out. And but most the thing I'm looking

1072
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 2: forward to the most is the outcome of this USC

1073
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 2: Notre Dame game.

1074
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 3: What do you think it means for either side?

1075
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 2: USC It's validation we are, we are back, we are physical,

1076
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 2: we are all of these things. For Notre Dame, I

1077
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 2: think it's just like, yeah, no, we're going to the

1078
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 2: College Football Playoff. And so I think that this game

1079
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 2: means way more to USC than it does Notre Dame

1080
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 2: because Notre Dame was in the College Football Playoff last year,

1081
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 2: they were in the National Championship. They know who they are,

1082
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 2: they believe who they are. USC is still questioning. Their

1083
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 2: fans are still questioning because they were questioned after the

1084
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 2: Illinois game on their message board. So you can't tell

1085
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 2: me that they're that the team ain't then Lincoln at

1086
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 2: this game means more for USC than it does for

1087
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 2: Notre Dame.

1088
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 3: That makes sense. I am looking forward to a rematch

1089
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 3: of College Football Playoff or of the ACC Championship. Two

1090
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 3: teams that made the College Football Playoff and nobody's talking

1091
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 3: about it all SMU and Clemson. I think this is

1092
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 3: a pretty important game. I know RTT Lashley has been

1093
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,439
Speaker 3: linked to some jobs, and I know that Damo Swing

1094
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 3: he's going through it. The winner of this game, aim.

1095
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 3: I think five and two for SMU means we still

1096
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 3: have a shot. I think that three and four for

1097
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 3: Clemson is a pretty hard reset potentially, So I think

1098
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 3: that's a that's a really really important one. And then

1099
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 3: the other thing that I'm really looking forward to is

1100
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 3: earlier this year, Johnny Manziel was on I think maybe

1101
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 3: his own show, talking and he said, there's nobody really

1102
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 3: like him this year, like no real like flashy, exciting guy.

1103
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 3: Trinidad Chambliss has opportunity. He is, he was, he he

1104
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 3: kind of plays like Johnny Manziel and if you look

1105
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 3: at just the you know, I know he's older than

1106
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 3: Johnny Manziel was, but certainly not an experience right. He

1107
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 3: had one year as a starter at Fairs State he

1108
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 3: was even sharing time a little bit last year. At

1109
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 3: this time, he's playing in front of four thousand people, yes,

1110
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 3: against Michigan Tech, playing in front of everybody. Yeah, and

1111
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 3: he's gonna be at Georgia. So you think about it,

1112
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 3: what was the Manzel moment and the Manzel moment that

1113
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 3: really kicked off? You know, Johnny football Mania was going

1114
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 3: to Alabama when they were nine to oh and winning,

1115
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 3: And I think that winning in Georgia at Georgia playing

1116
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 3: the type of football that he's been playing with college

1117
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 3: game day, there could be the Manzel moment for Trinidad Chamblis.

1118
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 3: Now he could fail that test and we could be

1119
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 3: talking about Georgia being six and one and on their

1120
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 3: way to the college football playoffs. Sure, I don't think

1121
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 3: it's going to hurt Ole Miss all that much. But

1122
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 3: right now Ole Miss has the opportunity to go seven

1123
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 3: to zero for the second time under Lane Kiffin. Last

1124
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 3: time the wheels fell off, But they have a chance

1125
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 3: to do it at Georgia with a backup quarterback who

1126
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 3: came out of nowhere. Is one of the best stories

1127
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 3: in all of college football, and he actually is exciting.

1128
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 3: He does throw on the run, he is everything you

1129
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 3: want to see in a college football player. And yeah,

1130
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 3: he's got an awesome opportunity in Athens this weekend.

1131
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we're excited.
