1
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: And like it is live. It is Tuesday, July nineteenth.

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: Dear more Laura, twenty twenty two, Day two of SEC

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: Media Day's high a top downtown, stormy Atlanta, Georgia. You

4
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: will never see me happier, You will never see me

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 2: more engaged. I could work in this industry fifty more years,

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: but we got Nick Saban on the show. At the

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: same time, a massive bow echo has moved through downtown Atlanta.

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: We've got a broad view of the skyline. There are

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: trees blowing left and right. A tempest, you know how

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: rarely I use that term, a tempest upon us here

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: in downtown and our crew, even in the last two

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: minutes able to get a shot. I cannot convey to

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: you enough that it's not coming through fully in what

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: you see on this shot. But it is a beautiful,

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: beautiful day to be in Atlanta. No one else on

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: the street thinks so, but I think so. So that's

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: what's happening outside. What's been happening inside the Omni and

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: the sea. See entire media days set up here, including

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. Is Nick Saban and Alabama rolled

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: into town today? Now you know we've had Nick Saban

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: on the show a couple of times, but you know what,

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: we haven't been able to do. We haven't been able

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: to sit down with him and have.

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Him on the show face to face. So we figured, you.

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: Know why not coin landed on heads, Let's decide to

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: have Nick Saban on the show. And so he joined

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: us for a good ten minutes and we covered a

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: variety of topics that I wanted to get a little

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: bit more in depth on. Specifically, I think he gives

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: a really brutally honest answer about scheduling, brutally on ast

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: answer about nil. You don't need to hear me tell

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: you that, though. Here is Nick Saban from earlier today,

33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: Alabama head coach Nick Saban rolling through SEC media days.

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 2: You're almost the finish line here, and I've assume you've

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: been asked the same thing about a million times as

36
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: there been anything today where you just get tired of saying,

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what the answer to

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: that is, I don't know what's going to happen, because

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: I've heard that a lot lately.

40
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of hypothetical questions being asked about

41
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: what's going to happen in the future. And I don't

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: think anybody really has a clear view of the solution

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: about the future, so I don't really have the answer

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: to it either. So I have been saying I don't know.

45
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: A lot of people want to talk about NIL, and

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: one of the themes I've started to hear you mix

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 2: in a lot more is who's protecting the players.

48
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: You talk about the NFL structure.

49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: A lot, and you've got an agent, you've got structure,

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: and everyone knows what they can do. NIL is kind

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: of what NIL is right now. But when you talk

52
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: about the need to protect players, what specifically do you.

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: Mean exactly what you said? You know, you know, there's

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: more and more people trying to get between the player

55
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: and the money. These people have to have no qualifications.

56
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: Who knows what kind of advice and direction they're giving

57
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: the players, how they're protecting players from signing, you know,

58
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: deals that may not be in their best interest or

59
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: you know, may create future problems for them in terms

60
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: of other things that they're doing. You know, college guys

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: are still student athletes, you know, where they're involved in

62
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: personal development, they're involved in academics, they're involved in developing

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: a career off the field, they're involved in, you know,

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: developing a career on the field. So you know, like

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: you said, the NFL has a player's association, players association,

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: government agents uh to protect the players. Our players in

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 3: college don't have anyone to protect them and make sure

68
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: that people who are representing them are qualified to do that.

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: Competitive balance is a phrase a lot of people outside

70
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: this world of used for a long time just about

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: watching some of the.

72
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Haves and have nots.

73
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: It's a theme I've heard you hit on a lot lately.

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes when people hear the big dogs say competitive balance,

75
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: they look and say, but they already win. Why would

76
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: he talk about that? And yet I heard you today,

77
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: I've heard you recently. You said, look, we're one of

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: the halves, so it's not necessarily us being victimized. So

79
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: when you extend it beyond Alabama, if nothing changes, what's.

80
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: The ultimate outcome of maybe the path of sports on.

81
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: Well, the ultimate outcome is going to become all about money,

82
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: and the ultimate outcome will move away from development of

83
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: college student. We all went to college to develop value

84
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: for our future. Is that not true? We matured personally,

85
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: we got an education, We developed a career by graduating

86
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: in lots of cases, guys had an opportunity to play

87
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: at the next level. Whether they played baseball, football, basketball,

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: it didn't matter. So college was about developing where can

89
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: I create the most value for my future? But it's

90
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: going to be about who's going to pay me the

91
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: most money and use name, image and likeness as the

92
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: vehicle to do that through collectives, which a collective is

93
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: just the opportunity for alumni who we've always tried to

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: keep out uh of recruiting, who we've always tried to

95
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: keep out of directing money toward players. The collective creates

96
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: an opportunity, in a legal fashion right to do this

97
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: and funnel money to players I which I'm okay with

98
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: that because it's good for players. I don't know if

99
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: it's a sustainable model, all right, but I'm okay with that.

100
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: But when you use that in recruiting, then it becomes

101
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go where I can get the best deal,

102
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: rather than focus on where can I go and create

103
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: the most value for my future. And you know that's

104
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: the part that is very concerning, I think you know

105
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: to me in terms of competitive battles, So it'll be

106
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: about who wants to buy the best team, and there

107
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 3: are gonna be lots of people who don't have the

108
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: resources to do that. We're not one of them. So

109
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about Alabama getting affected in this. People

110
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: think that when I talk I'm trying to protect Alabama.

111
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: I'm really trying to protect the integrity of college athletics,

112
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: not just college football. You know, people don't understand that

113
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: there's only so much money to go around, all right,

114
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: So how is this going to impact other programs that

115
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: have given how many student athletes an opportunity to compete,

116
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: to develop a career. If you're in track and field

117
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: and you've got a scholarship to go to college, it

118
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: gave you an opportunity to go to the Olympics. I mean,

119
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: how much is all that going to be impacted by this?

120
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: Because there's only so much money to go around, all right.

121
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: So it's going to be interesting to see how we

122
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 3: come up with some guidelines that allow us to keep

123
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: the integrity of college sports intact and keep competitive balance

124
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: in those sports.

125
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: One of the biggest things I think even I Herd

126
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: coach is different an opinion on is what the right

127
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: scheduling model is. You get two new teams coming into

128
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: the conference. But I think a lot of folks love

129
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: watching Alabama football. People don't get so stoked when they

130
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: wake up on a Saturday morning and Obama's favored by

131
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: forty eight today. And I've heard you talk a little

132
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: bit lately about how you.

133
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: Don't prefer that either.

134
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: You want games that people want to see, but you

135
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: can't just snap your fingers and make it happen. So

136
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: I guess I'm asking you what is the best overall

137
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: format and how feasible does it actually make it happen.

138
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I've coached in the NFL for eight years,

139
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: so you got thirty two teams. Every rule in the

140
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: NFL creates competitive balance, salary cap. If you have a

141
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: good season, you play a more difficult schedule. So you

142
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: have a good season, you draft later. You have a

143
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: bad season, you draft earlier. I mean everything they do

144
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: is to try to create everybody to be eight and

145
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: eight in the NFL, because if everybody's eight and eight

146
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: and you're coming to the last game of the season,

147
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: there's going to be tremendous fan interest to see who

148
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: gets into playoffs.

149
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: But when you have.

150
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: These teams that go thirteen and three and they don't

151
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: even play the best players at the end of the

152
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: season because they're saving them for the playoffs. How much

153
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: fan interest does that create? So I think we need

154
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: to respect fans, fan interest, traditions, and the integrity of

155
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 3: those traditions in terms of how the interest that it creates.

156
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: In college football, if attendance goes down, then how does

157
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 3: that impact us in a positive way? So to play

158
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: quality games is the most important thing. But our rules

159
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 3: don't enhance us playing quality games. Because you got to win,

160
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: have a winning record to get in a bowl game.

161
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: Why don't we do it like basketball, have some rating

162
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 3: system that even if you went five and seven, but

163
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: you played a really good schedule and you beat some

164
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: pretty good teams, you could go to a bowl game,

165
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: rather than trying to create a schedule where you play

166
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: four teams that you know you're going to beat. And

167
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: if I can just win two other games, I'll be

168
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: boeligible And that's important to my program and it's important

169
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: to me keeping my job. All right, So, but how

170
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: about the fans? Do they want to go see these games?

171
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: So you know, it was I don't know how many

172
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: years ago, six eight years ago, I said, why don't

173
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: we play nine games in the SCC right now. They

174
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: want they're talking about playing nine in the future. I'm saying,

175
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: why don't we play ten? We had one season which

176
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: was a great competitive season. We didn't play one game

177
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: that everybody wasn't interested in. So would you lose more

178
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: games if you played that? Probably would, but there would

179
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 3: be a lot more interest, which I think is the

180
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: most important thing. The stadium being filled. The passion and

181
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: the spirit of the fans makes college football what it is.

182
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: Let's protect it.

183
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: You got me last question. On the field.

184
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: Everybody's excited about Will Anderson. I just want to ask

185
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: you about the past rush in general. Braswell, Dallas Turner,

186
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: guys like that. I mean, how exciting is that to

187
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 2: go out on the practice field know that you've got

188
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: that weapon in your back pocket.

189
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: Well, pass rush is really really important. And we've gone

190
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: through some years where we didn't have great pass rushers,

191
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: and we've gone through some years when we did, and

192
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: those three guys that you mentioned are all really good

193
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: pass rushers. It affects the way you can play defense.

194
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: You can rush four guys, you can play coverage with seven.

195
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: You don't have to add extra guys. Into the rush,

196
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: you can do simulated pass rushers because those guys are

197
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: athletic and they can drop and are worried about blocking them.

198
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: But now all of a sudden they're not rushing. You

199
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 3: don't have to play a lot of man to man

200
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: in the back end because you want to rush five

201
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 3: and six guys, which puts a lot of pressure on

202
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 3: another part of your team in the back end. So

203
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 3: the whole way that you can play defense when you

204
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: can affect the quarterback with a four man rush and

205
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: sometime even a three man rush, which creates more multiples

206
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: to confuse the quarterback, which is ultimately what you're trying

207
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: to do on defense. So I think having those kind

208
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: of guys is really really important and certainly something that

209
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: can help us be a good defensive team.

210
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: Thanks Saban, appreciate you joining us all right, thank you,

211
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: and big thanks to Nick Saban for joining us today.

212
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: They actually had to get out of here a little

213
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: bit early.

214
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: I'm told they had to skip part of radio row

215
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: because of the weather that has rolled in. Very prophetic

216
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: as it turns out. Did you notice though what he

217
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: said there? Because there was a lot I really started

218
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: to have my eyes open when he was talking about scheduling,

219
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: and he basically shot down one of the big lies.

220
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: We talk about the big lies in college football all.

221
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: The time on Lake Kick, and one of them is

222
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: you are what your record says you are, which is

223
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: a flat out live especially in college football, but people

224
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: are terrified of it. As he said, and he suggested

225
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: something I don't think i've heard people suggest before, which is,

226
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: when you're determining strength of schedule, when you're determining how

227
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: to fill out the playoff and the bowl structure, why

228
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,359
Speaker 2: don't you have a rating like RPI does in college basketball,

229
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: to where people get rewarded if they played the tougher

230
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: schedule and they dropped some games. All ten and two's,

231
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: all nine and threes, all eight and fours aren't treated equal.

232
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: We dive deeper than that.

233
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: Now in the power rating world and the sports betting

234
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: and odds making world, they've done that for a long time.

235
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: What he's saying is, maybe if we did that, and

236
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: you knew.

237
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 2: You weren't going to get crucified, you weren't going to

238
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: be labeled as playing meaningless games in November because you

239
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 2: had a few losses, maybe people would schedule up a

240
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: little bit more. He also said I'm on the hook

241
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: for ten conference games. If we want to play ten

242
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: conference games. I don't think he's going to get broad

243
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: based support for that because everyone else looks around and says, well.

244
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: You're Alabama, we're not. You don't have to play Bama.

245
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: We do. But I thought there was a lot that

246
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: I kind of.

247
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: Listened to, and I kind of just nodded my head,

248
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: because it's really nice to hear it, you know, from

249
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: other people besides just on this show. But that was

250
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: Nick Saban and looking forward to having more big interviews

251
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: throughout the week. I want to remind you guys, it's

252
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: critically important for those walking the streets of downtown Atlanta

253
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: right now to have your outdoor gear covered. I sure

254
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: do hope they stopped by Academy Sports and Outdoors before

255
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: they hit the streets today. If they didn't, we saw

256
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: what a lesser umbrella would do in severe weather just

257
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: moments ago while we were in that interview, some unfortunate

258
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: scenes here on the corner of Andrew Young and Marietta Street.

259
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: I don't want you to fall into that trap. So

260
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors, they make it possible for us

261
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: to go on the road. They make it possible for us.

262
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: To keep this show free for you.

263
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: There's no dirty paywall here because of Academy. They are

264
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: your one stop shop for all your outdoor sporting good supplies.

265
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: And if you can't get there in person, Academy dot

266
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: Com is your hookup. I wanted to talk for just

267
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: a second about Shane Biemer. He came through today and

268
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys being tuned in live if you are.

269
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: I got a big crowd here again, I wanted to

270
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: talk about Shane Beemer for just a second. A lot

271
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: of you were asking, Hey, what did you think about

272
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 2: his comments today and what's the overall vibe around the

273
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: South Carolina program.

274
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Going in to year two.

275
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's the biggest surprise in the

276
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: world to say that maybe there was a little bit

277
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: of a starstruck moment, maybe a little bit overwhelmed at

278
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: times last year for Shane Beemer. That is the sec

279
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: and that's the nature of being a first year head coach.

280
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: And I also don't think people fully appreciate how much

281
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: more is on the plate of a coach new or

282
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: old today than there was even ten years ago.

283
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: Then there was twenty years ago. The sport has so

284
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: rapidly changed.

285
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: If you guys think about it, You have positions in

286
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: your football program now that didn't exist five years ago.

287
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: You didn't have anyone scouting the transfer portal and scouting

288
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: college football because the portal didn't exist in the format

289
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: it does now. And I say all that to say,

290
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: you've got to be a master of so much more

291
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: now than you ever were before. That's why I think

292
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: about Venables a first time head coach, Beemer a first

293
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: time head coach, Dan Lanning at or In a first

294
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: time head coach, and I appreciate how difficult it must be.

295
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: Can't have experienced it, but I appreciate it. So Shane

296
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: Beemer comes in year one, that's what he deals with.

297
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: We always use the metaphor trying to drink water from

298
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: a fire hose. That's kind of what he tried to

299
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: do last year. They won about three more games than

300
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: the folks in the desert thought they would. They won

301
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: more games, truthfully than I thought they would, And that

302
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: serves to be a catalyst on the recruiting trail coming

303
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: out of year one. Here's what it can do going

304
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: into year two. It can create a false sense of expectation.

305
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not.

306
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: Here to say bet the under, bet the under, bet

307
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: the under on Carolina. What I am here to do, though,

308
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: is anytime someone just assumes, well, for them to improve,

309
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: they have to have eight or more wins. I don't

310
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: think you've looked at their schedule, and I don't really

311
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: think sometimes you know how.

312
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: This game works overall.

313
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: So South Carolina, as I've told you many times, they

314
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: could be a seven and five team this year with

315
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: five close losses, and I'd view it as a better

316
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: accomplishment than.

317
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: Eight four with four blowout losses.

318
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: Because ultimately the trajectory of the program would still be

319
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: heading up. But Shane Biemer came in today and he

320
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: talked a lot about how there was a lot on

321
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: my plate last year and there still is. But what

322
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: I appreciate about him is number One, he's appreciative. I

323
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: think I heard him say thank you about thirty seven

324
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: times today and I wasn't around him all day.

325
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: But the other part is I think they've made.

326
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: Some good hires and I think they're starting to get

327
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: some traction and recruiting, and this has kind of been

328
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: happening fairly recently. I know on the twenty four seven

329
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: Sports team rankings they're floating around thirty right now. They'll

330
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: make a move, they will rapidly ascend those team rankings.

331
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: But you can feel it.

332
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: You can feel it from the head coach, you can

333
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: feel it from the players, you can feel it from

334
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: some of the support staff. Talking to some of the

335
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: creative guys from Carolina today. Everybody shares the same vision

336
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: some places, and I don't mention them by name, but

337
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: I've been around programs before and anyone who's worked in

338
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: the industry knows what I'm talking about. And fans can

339
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: sense it too. You ask one person what's this place about,

340
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: You ask another person, you ask third person, you get

341
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: three differ financiers. That's not the case at South Carolina.

342
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: They're all singing from the same hymnal so to speak. Now,

343
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: there's still a little gap between where they are roster

344
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: wise and where they're going to need to be to

345
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: compete against Georgia. I'm talking about perennially, or in Alabama

346
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: or an LSU. But the thing about it is, as

347
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: I go back and I look in recent history, I

348
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: look at what they were capable of doing in the

349
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: latter portion of the aughts in the early twenty teens,

350
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: and people think that's not possible anymore.

351
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: And I disagree with him. I disagree wholeheartedly.

352
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: If it's been done before, if Carolina dominated the state

353
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: instead of Clemson before, there's nothing that says that can't

354
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: happen again.

355
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: You just have to match the intensity level. You gotta

356
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: match recruit.

357
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: You got to match him ten out of ten step

358
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: for step that can happen. And they're so happy there

359
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: because they've got their guy. And when you're around the program,

360
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: this is kind of what I'm getting to. You get

361
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: why Carolina fans, why South Carolina fans, because I know

362
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: North Carolina fans hate me saying that, you get why

363
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: Gamecock fans love him, and you get why a lot

364
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: of outsiders look at it and they kind of scratch

365
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: their head and say, what is this guy proven?

366
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: Like, why do you love him so much?

367
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 2: And then you look back out the bubble at them

368
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: and say, you just don't get it, and that's okay,

369
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: you're not one of us. You don't have to get it,

370
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: but in due time will kind of make you get it.

371
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: On the field, that's the vibe that the entire South

372
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: Carolina program has, and so more so than any you know,

373
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 2: grandioselight prophetic vis that Shane Biemer shared here today. There

374
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: was no huge headline grabber. I know they had the

375
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: social video this morning. Some of our guys love that.

376
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: But what I love about him is he gets it.

377
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: He authentically gets it. He's a guy that everyone loves

378
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 2: to be around. So Shane Biemer South Carolina, I think

379
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 2: they're in a really good position. The other thing that

380
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: I wanted to touch on that a number of you

381
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: blew the eye Josh up earlier today about was this

382
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart quote that started to circulate. Truthfully, we were

383
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: wrapped up in interviews, so I didn't really get to

384
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: see this thing when it happened. And all I did

385
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: was read the quote, like apparently a lot of you did,

386
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: and I said, wow. And if you haven't read the quote,

387
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: basically paraphrasing here, Kirby Smart was speaking at a function

388
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: in Texas today. He'll be here tomorrow and he said,

389
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: you know, I got to the point where I almost retired.

390
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: You know, recruiting's a full time job.

391
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: Now.

392
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: I was on the road the entirety of June last year,

393
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: I thought about stepping away from the game. Fortunately, and

394
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: I mean, by the grace of God, fortunately. We were

395
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: talking with the Claude Father, Claude Felton right before we

396
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: go on air and say, Claw, what is this about

397
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 2: your guy almost retiring?

398
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: He said, did.

399
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: You hear the follow up? Did you hear the context?

400
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: He said, no, sir mister Felton, I did not. He said, well,

401
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 2: it was kind of tongue in cheek. And so we

402
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: do not have a segment here on Lake Kick tonight

403
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 2: where I react to Kurby Smart almost retiring. What I

404
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: do want to draw your attention back to, though, Chop

405
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: that would there is after the National Championship game, which

406
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: we've spoken together about a few times, when he did

407
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: his interview the following day with ESPM, it stuck with

408
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: me that he had an opportunity to showcase this program.

409
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: He's got that opportunity to do on the national platform

410
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: to say whatever he wants to, and he true enough

411
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: used it as a marketing tool, but he also took

412
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: that opportunity to talk about how unworkable the college schedule

413
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: is right now, the college calendar is right now, and

414
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: you can.

415
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: Tell it went off the cuff. He's been talking about

416
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: it all these coaches behind the scenes talk about it.

417
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 2: They want us to talk about it more, you know,

418
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 2: they want us to beat the drum CAUs they think

419
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: drumming up public support will get him a.

420
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: Vacation day or two. And there's just this ca out

421
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: there that listens to these coaches talk about how.

422
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 2: Overwork they are. And I know what you guys are thinking.

423
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: I know a lot of you just got off from

424
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: nine to five. I know some of you have been

425
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: putting in roofs down in South Georgia all day or

426
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: installing ac two jobs I've done in that part of

427
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: the state. And you don't really care about a multimillionaire

428
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: complaining about his workload. I get it, I get it,

429
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: I get it. What I'm trying to say from a

430
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: principled standpoint is, even though Kirby may have been a

431
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: little bit joking with you today, he's been serious in

432
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: the past about this. They have adjusted their schedule in Athens,

433
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: They've given some guy's days off, they've moved days around.

434
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: Because there is a maximum capacity that a human is

435
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: capable of. It doesn't matter if you pay him ten

436
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 2: bucks or ten billion bucks. There is a maximum capacity

437
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: someone's capable of. In other words, there's a level and

438
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: there's only so much you could put in that cup,

439
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 2: and once you continue to pour liquid on it, it

440
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: doesn't get any more full.

441
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: It just overflows.

442
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: And that's what a lot of coaches feel like right now.

443
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: They are having four classes. I want you to understand this,

444
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: four classes. They simultaneously have to recruit also have to

445
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: now re recruit their entire roster because of the transfer portal. Oh,

446
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: by the way, they have to be experts in NIL,

447
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: something that's so new. Some of the officials that run

448
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: the sport can't even properly articulate the guidelines on because

449
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 2: they don't exist. And I haven't even mentioned a drill yet.

450
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: You haven't even stepped on the practice field yet.

451
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way.

452
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have kids at home, you got a wife,

453
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: you got a sick mom, you got to care about.

454
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: So the whole life stuff works its way into the

455
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: equation as well. Kirby Smart's going to come in here tomorrow,

456
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: and I hope we get to ask him about that,

457
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: because as much as maybe he was joking around a

458
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: little bit today, there's a lot of seriousness to that.

459
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of truth to that. So it's

460
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: been a fun week so far. Think we're right at

461
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: the halfway point, so boom, we break the tape there

462
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: and now we got to turn around, run all the

463
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 2: way back. A big day tomorrow, Sam Pittman and Arkansas

464
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: are in here. We got Georgia in here. Who else

465
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: do we have in here? We got Kentucky coming in,
