1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Man, Welcome in Laki is live. It is Thursday night,

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: December twenty ninth, Dear our Lower, twenty twenty two. I

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: have slept in my bed twelve nights since November twenty first.

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: Tonight will not be one of them. We're headed off

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: to Atlanta moments after we wrap this show, but it

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: is a jam packed show. Don't go anywhere. We are

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: high a top a Forever Sagi, Downtown, Nashville, Tennessee. I

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: got some thoughts on Kirby Smart and Ryan Day tonight.

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Because many of you have asked me to compare the two.

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: We will do so in our own unique way. We're

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna see him do battle in what about forty eight hours?

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: Done in Atlanta. I got the latest from the Transfer portal.

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: A lot of quarterbacks on the move, some of them

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: have yet to make decisions. Chris Hummer did a wonderful

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: article yesterday. We'll get you even more updated tonight on

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: the goings on in the portal. Bold Predictions revisited the

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Saga not Series. The Saga continues. Also, you guys have

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: a little problem in Iowa, Ohio state. A number of

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: your programs out there actually not necessarily enjoying the kind

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: of synergy between the old collective and the Athletic Department

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: as you would like. Are you worried some of your

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: rivals may gain an advantage on you? Well, you should

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: be worried. But I humbly come to you tonight suggesting

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: that the nature and the conversation around NIO is gonna

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: sound a lot different down the road. So maybe, just

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: maybe you were fretting for not We'll see, We will

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: talk about it tonight. They're watching us in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Bristol, England.

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, Eastkanton, Ohio, Warrenton, Georgia, all tuned in. Now,

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: let me let you know before we dive into the

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: show tonight, what's going to happen. We got the semi

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: finals four o'clock and eight o'clock Eastern time on Saturday.

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be at the Ohio State Georgia game. If

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: you see me, say hello. I'll have some Academy gift

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: cards with me. In lieu of doing a Sunday night

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: show because it's New Year's Day and we'll be traveling

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: and it's a holiday and whatnot. I am going to

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: release our rapid reaction videos for both of the playoff

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: games Sunday morning, so you won't have to wait until

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Check out the channel you're on, and already

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube right now, we will also

41
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: post that in the pod feed, so it'll be a

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: little unconventional, but the byproduct is you'll actually get the

43
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: reaction to the games earlier than you normally would. And

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: then it is full speed ahead and we'll eventually head

45
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: out to Los Angeles, but we'll maintain a normal production

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: schedule after that. It's just that Sunday is going to

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: be a little wonky. Why because we have to navigate

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: around Christmas and New Year's and having them on Sundays

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: and having playoff games, and it's just a mess right now.

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Don't worry, we'll get it fixed in the meantime. I

51
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: want to dive into the show tonight, and I want

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: to talk about a couple of guys. They're going to

53
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: be right at the forefront of the conversation Saturday night,

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: for better or for worse. Colin, here is a as

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: good an intro as I can give you. What do

56
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: you think about Ryan Day and Kirby Smart. I guess

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: that answer would have been different even this time last

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: year than it is now. You'll notice that there's been

59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: wild fluctuation around both of them. Ryan Day right now

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: is in the middle of just a figurative storm around

61
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: the perception tied to his name. Is he one of

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: the best coaches in America? Is he one of the

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: most overrated coaches in America? We haven't necessarily trafficked in

64
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: that on this show, but it is out there, and

65
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: it would be ignorant to suggest otherwise. A year ago, famously,

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: at this point, Kirby Smart, what had he done well?

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: He had gone I think, oh for four against Nick

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Saban to that point. They just lost in the SEC

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: title game, but he was in the playoff and they

70
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: were about to go and bodybag Michigan and then beat

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Alabama in a National championship rematch, and they were going

72
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: to win the title. And then just the convention around

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: his name was going to totally flip. We didn't know

74
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: that yet, but that's what was coming. Maybe the same

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: thing's coming from Ryan Day for all we know. Who knows,

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: But I was asked over the past week. I was

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: looking through our DMS and our question and answer mailbag.

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people asking some version of the question,

79
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: how do you think these two compare now? Because some

80
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: of you have really good memories, and you remember a

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, I told you that guy right there,

82
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube, Ryan Day, I thought, next

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: to Nick Saban, he's the guy I would want to

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: attach my wagon to over the next five years. That

85
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: answer is now Kirby Smart. So I'm going to start

86
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: off by telling you if I have a number two position,

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: then it's Kirby Smart. Having said that, I am also

88
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: one to remind you that at least on this show,

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: we don't do the wild fluctuation. We do the whole

90
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: honey versus water metaphor, which I've explained many times, and

91
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: it's me Malls anyway, it's not mine. But both programs,

92
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: I think have their long term head coaches. So I

93
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: want to be really clear where I stand, because then

94
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: I want to spend the rest of this segment talking

95
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: about where those guys will actually stand in the court

96
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: of public opinion based on the outcomes Saturday, and then

97
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: maybe fast forwarding to LA in the National Championship Game.

98
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: Because it's really severe for Ryan, it's not so severe

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: for Kirby Smart anymore. In fact, if you think about

100
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: this matchup, it's really weird. Normally, I would say eight

101
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: or nine times out of ten, the guy and the

102
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: team in position for a repeat, they're the ones feeling

103
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: the immense pressure. They're the ones shouldering the burden of

104
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: high expectation. And I'm not saying there aren't high expectations

105
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: for Georgia. But if you're talking about who's feeling more pressure,

106
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: ten out of ten that pay attention to this sport

107
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: would have to vote Ryan Day and Ohio State. There's

108
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: no doubt about what Georgia is now. Whether their team

109
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: is good enough to win a title this year, that's

110
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: almost a side conversation. Their program is not being doubted

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: by anyone anymore, nor should it be. Ohio State's program

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 1: is being doubted. Ryan Day at his core, the tenants

113
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: and philosophies with which he's built that program are being questioned,

114
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: or maybe somebody out there, maybe a lot of somebody's

115
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: out there, look and say he didn't build it to

116
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: begin with. That's our problem with him. The doubters out

117
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: there of Ryan Day are he didn't build it. The

118
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: old Jim Harbaugh quote, he started on third base and

119
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: now he just run backwards to second base. So why

120
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: are we supposed to respect that? Why are we supposed

121
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: to talk about him in the same breath as the

122
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: Sabans or the Smart So the Dabos of the world.

123
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: How much could that change over the next eight quarters

124
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: of football? Really four quarters, let's just take it one

125
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: step at a time. They're six and a half point

126
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: dog this Saturday against the Georgia Bulldogs. Things are gonna

127
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: shift so radically one way or another for Ryan Day.

128
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: So the whole comparative analysis of the two coaches, I

129
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: don't really get into that all that much, but I

130
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: will say, Kirby Smart when they won that title last year,

131
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: it's as simple and as difficult as this. Once you

132
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: slay the dragon, it only takes one time, because remember,

133
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: he did something and Georgia did something that people were

134
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: knocking him for seemingly not being able to do. You know,

135
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: the whole book on Kirby Smart, which was dumb to

136
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: begin with, but the book was, oh, we can't beat

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. The guy went to overtime with him in

138
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. You get to overtime with someone, I assure you,

139
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: you possess the ability to beat him. Whether you do

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: it or not, that really depends on bounces of balls

141
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: and field goal kickers and crazy stuff. If you get

142
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: blown out forty four to ten, no I'm gonna question you.

143
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: You go to overtime with someone, you could beat them

144
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: next year SEC championship game, there's a hail mary to

145
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: the end zone, an attempt to tie the game. I'm

146
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: standing right down there. You played him close. You could

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: beat them twenty twenty a little more decisive. But the

148
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: point was it was never he couldn't. It was just

149
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: that he hadn't and a lot of people needed to

150
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: see it. Well, you got it in Indianapolis in early January,

151
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: So that's out of the way. Now what are they

152
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: saying about Ryan Day? They because I'm not a part

153
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: of this group right now, Maybe I will be. Maybe

154
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: you guys have beaten me to the punch. But a

155
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: lot of folks now are of the opinion that Ryan

156
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: Day can't win those big games. Ryan Day, when he

157
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: goes up against a program that can match their physicality

158
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: or a program that has recruited on par with them,

159
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: they get humiliated and humbled and embarrassed, and people talk

160
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: about it as if it's happened ten times, it has it,

161
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: but you know how that happens. So what happens this

162
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: Saturday obviously going to go a long way in deciding

163
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: fair or not how the locals and then how national

164
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: media and punditry and fans and change treat him. But

165
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: where was Kirby Smart this time of year ago? I

166
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: keep going back to this because I don't think we

167
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: do it enough as fans. I don't think we do

168
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: this enough. You got to be able to admit when

169
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: you were wrong, and you got to be able to

170
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: diagnose after the fact what you said about a guy.

171
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: And I you know, I'm looking at my eye, Josh.

172
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: Right now, it's December twenty ninth. I'm told some people

173
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: don't like me saying that. I'm going to continue to

174
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: say it. It's December twenty ninth right now. This is

175
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: right around that time last year. Seems like so long ago.

176
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: Everything was being questioned about Georgia, everything because he Kirby Smart,

177
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: had gotten them to the brink again and they had

178
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: been embarrassed. They themselves had been humbled in Atlanta by Alabama.

179
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: And it's the same old, same old. We keep recruiting

180
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: number one, number two classes. We keep on slaughtering the

181
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: SEC East, But if we keep up, keep on running

182
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: into Nick Saban in Alabama, what's it all worth? Oh?

183
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, here was part b of that.

184
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: This quarterback, all of you are trumpeting and heralding, is

185
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: the greatest player in the history of Georgia football. A

186
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of you didn't want him to start the playoff

187
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: game last year. A lot of you were sitting here saying,

188
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart's got to make the decision to start JT. Daniel.

189
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: No one wants to admit that. Thankfully, I've made some

190
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: bad calls in my life, but I was not part

191
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: of that camp. I was the part of the camp

192
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: that that head coach at Georgia probably knows which guy

193
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: gives him the best chance to win, and they're gonna

194
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: roll with him. His name is Stetson Bennett. They rolled

195
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: with him, and he played his best football at the

196
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: right time. They won the title Ryan Day. There are

197
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: people who questioned his play calling. There are people who

198
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: question the toughness of his team. Here's what it takes,

199
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,239
Speaker 1: and here's all it takes. It takes leveraging some favorable matchups.

200
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: It takes playing a more defensive approach that is centered

201
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: on winning instead of proving a point against your opponent,

202
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: which I'm fully convinced they did to their detriment against Michigan.

203
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: It's all it takes, you know, It's as simple and

204
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: as hard as winning a big football game. Now. Psychologically,

205
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: if they were to knock down this dragon of sorts

206
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: this Saturday in Atlanta, boy would it would do all

207
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: of a sudden We would go from a lot of

208
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: people think Ohio State's gonna get run out of the building Saturday.

209
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I think it'll be a competitive game.

210
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: I picked Georgia, picked them very close. But a lot

211
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: of folks who were on the extremes, on the fringes

212
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: of this conversation would go from Ohio State It's going

213
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: to get run out of the building to there is

214
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: nothing stopping Ohio State. Now if they beat Georgia thirty

215
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: four to twenty this Saturday night, everybody, I think most people,

216
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: I think it would be a wide consensus Michigan's drawing

217
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: him at the worst time, and I would agree with that.

218
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: By the way, like I just don't I'm never a

219
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: fan of you having to play the same team twice.

220
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: That's where I stand on that. But I'm saying Ryan Day,

221
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I just one of my favorite

222
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: exercises as before we move on here, One of my

223
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: favorite exercises is to freeze thoughts and opinions. The reason

224
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: I never radically shift on these guys is because I

225
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: don't want to be caught by freezing cold takes. I

226
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: don't want to be that guy who was saying one

227
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: thing and then I visibly won eightied on that guy

228
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: after four quarters of football. The reality is, nothing about

229
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: Saturday is going to change who he is as a coach. Nothing.

230
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: He is who he is. You're gonna get results, and

231
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: then those results service his resume. And I'm not a fool.

232
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I understand how this sport works. It's a result oriented business.

233
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: I get that. That's why if you say Ryan Day's

234
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: resume is not good enough, Okay, we can argue about

235
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: his resume, but there are there's a sizeable portion of

236
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: the college football public who will quite literally allow the

237
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: book on him as a coach to be written and

238
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: or radically altered based on four quarters of football, and really,

239
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: out of those four quarters, based on about half a

240
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: dozen plays bounces of the ball Bob's if you will

241
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: hear there? I never I never ascribed to that. So

242
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: I guess a long winded way of answering the question

243
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: about comparing the two is I think Kirby right now

244
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: is where Ryan Day wants to be. I guess the

245
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: difference is I'm willing to utter the following sentence. On

246
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: top of that, I think Ryan Day's fully capable of

247
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: getting there, and I don't think everybody else believes in

248
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: that right now. I do. However, I've picked him to lose,

249
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: but I was very close to picking them to win.

250
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: I have no confidence in my pick on that game,

251
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: no confidence. So be that as it may. Looking forward

252
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: to a great weekend in Atlanta, do you hear that sound?

253
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: I watched? I watched It's a Wonderful life as this

254
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: tradition on Christmas Eve. I hope the rest of you

255
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: did as well. And those of you who have seen

256
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: the movie, you know what it means when you hear

257
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: the ringing of a bell. It means an angel gets

258
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: its wings. But ironically, or maybe not so ironically, it's

259
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: also the sound it makes when you walk out the

260
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: door to Academy Sports and Outdoors. And I'm not saying

261
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: that you're giving an angel as wings every time you

262
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: go there, but you're certainly granting a wish every time

263
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: you go there. And I have it on good authority

264
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: because I saw the receipts that certain members of my

265
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: own family found a last minute out in the form

266
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: of gifts at Academy Sports and Outdoors. I don't know

267
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: what had to be last minute, but it was. Nevertheless,

268
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: proper decisions were made, and I assume proper decisions were

269
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: made by you and yours all over the country, and

270
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm very, very happy that Academy and myself and that

271
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: order were able to assist you. However, they don't close

272
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: their doors after Christmas, so a lot of you got

273
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: those gift cards. And the best gift cards are the

274
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: ones that are generic and you can use them wherever

275
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: you want. They take them. Academy takes them Academy dot Com.

276
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: If you can't get there in person, they take them.

277
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Or alternately, if you just have cold, hard cash you

278
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: feel like spending, you're not gonna spend nearly as much

279
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: of it there, and you're gonna get everything you want.

280
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: I can't even Sports and Outdoors our exclusive partner. The

281
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: show is free because of them. Thank them so much

282
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: and looking forward to an exciting new year with them.

283
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Fort Kent, Maine tonight, and I

284
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: fully understand what's happening right now. We're doing a live

285
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: show and they're Bowl games on, so this will probably

286
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: be the highest trafficked replay show that we get all year.

287
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: That's fine. But if you're watching us live, I appreciate it. Waynesboro, Tennessee, Scottsdale, Arizona.

288
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Appreciate it, appreciate it. I may even put

289
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: an a on front of appreciate. In the year twenty

290
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: twenty three, the list of resolutions continues. I got some

291
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: transfer portal intel and you're gonna hear it. Sam Hartman

292
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: is in the portal as of the moment, but it

293
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: seems like any given moment he could end up hopping

294
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: out of the portal and landing in South Bend, Indiana.

295
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Sam Hartman a grad transfer quarterback. It feels like forever

296
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: at wake Forest, really good numbers. You've no doubt watched

297
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: him play by now. I don't need to describe him

298
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: as a quarterback to you, but here's the stitch up

299
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. Tyler Butner's still there, there are questions

300
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: about his long term future. Drew Pine is not there anymore.

301
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: He's headed off to Arizona State, and frankly, if they

302
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: get Hartman in there, Drew Pine was going to be

303
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: an afterthought anyway. So it looks like the betting favorite

304
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: right now for Sam Hartman will be Notre Dame. Now,

305
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: that does not mean I would encourage you. Go to

306
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: twenty four seven sports dot com. Chris Hummer did a

307
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: good rundown of a lot of the quarterbacks. I'm just

308
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: touching on some of them, but a lot of the

309
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who were in the portal were just in the portal.

310
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: Sam Hartman Notre Dame betting favorite right now. Keep an

311
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: eye on it, because that stuff can change on a dime.

312
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: What about Brennan Armstrong. This is a name that comes

313
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: kind of out of left field. You know, if you're

314
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: an ACC fan, or you bet on college football, or

315
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: you're just a diehard fan, Yeah, you know Brennan Armstrong

316
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: ben around Virginia. It feels like for a long time

317
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: he's in the portal right now. Who are we watching

318
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: here though? Well, Oklahoma State. I was reading a lot

319
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: of Hummer stuff and this makes a lot of sense.

320
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State a program to watch. I you know, I guess,

321
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: I guess we could call them a slight betting favorite.

322
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that would be irresponsible. No one set

323
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: in actual odds on this stuff anyway, at least someone

324
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: who wants to keep their money. But Brendan Armstrong to

325
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, could it happen? Well, I would argue they

326
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: need it to happen there because if you've if you've

327
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: been following Oklahoma State, it was a catastrophic back half

328
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: of the season for them, and then you saw a

329
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: bunch of guys, including quarterback Spencer Sanders, jumping the transfer portal.

330
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Mike Gundhy was really testy about the future of his

331
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: program at his postgame press conference after the Bowl loss,

332
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: as he should be what are they gonna do? And

333
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: I would answer that or I'd ask that question in

334
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: a number of positions, but I'm especially asking it at quarterback.

335
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: So they have to have an answer because their quarterback

336
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: depth right now, they don't have a guy on campus

337
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: that can play winning football for them. I don't believe

338
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, So they need an answer via

339
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: the portal. Brendan Armstrong could be that, but also they

340
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: need some good news. There's been no good news for

341
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State football, and that's a program. At one point

342
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: this year, just to show you how long a football

343
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: season is, they were the brief favorite to win the

344
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: Big Twelve around week four Week five, remember that Texas

345
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: had fallen off. Oklahoma lost three in a row. No

346
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: one believed in the long term sustainability yet of Kansas

347
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: State TCU likewise, and Oklahoma State was the most proven commodity.

348
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: And then it went splat, and it went splat in

349
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: a hurry, speaking well, actually not speaking at all of

350
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: Oregon State, but I want to go to Oregon State

351
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: right quick. You out there celebrating Christmas may have taken

352
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: it upon yourself to tune out of the goings on

353
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: in college football. That's okay, we didn't and so as

354
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: you as you come back to the table, I want

355
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: to that you know something. Dj Uyan Galiley is not

356
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: in the portal anymore. He has landed about as far

357
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: away from Clemson, South Carolina as you could unless you

358
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: went to Hawaii briefly mentioned by the way he has

359
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: landed in Corvallis, Oregon. He is an Oregon State Beaver.

360
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: What do we think of this? Well? I was doing

361
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: radio out on the West coast, as I will do

362
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: again in the morning, joining our friends up there in Portland,

363
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: and I was asked about this. And here's the most

364
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: interesting facet here. There is a widely held assumption. I

365
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: guess I kind of agree with it that DJ probably

366
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: just wasn't Slash, isn't quite the player we thought he

367
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: was going to be coming out of high school. That

368
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: is not unfair. You can say that respectfully without being scathing. However,

369
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: what if we're wrong about that? And time will tell

370
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: because he's not done so he's got some tread left

371
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: on his tires here in terms of being a college

372
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: football player. My question if he goes up to Oregon

373
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: State and he plays the best football we've seen him

374
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: play so far in and of itself, that doesn't mean anything.

375
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: But what if it coincides with Clemson under Kid Klubnik

376
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: still not really having the spark that you expect from

377
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: Clemson football all of a sudden, here's what could happen.

378
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: We've seen it a million times before. A guy moves

379
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: on to what don't to what doesn't seem like to

380
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: be greener pastures. But yet his numbers are better, and

381
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: he looks more comfortable, and he's in rhythm and he's

382
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: in seek. And then you look back at his old

383
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: place where they thought they'd be better without him, and

384
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: they're still clunking along. And I'm just picturing a world

385
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: because this is a possible scenario. Midway through twenty twenty three,

386
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: Clemson's already dropped a game they shouldn't drop, and meanwhile,

387
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: Oregon State's right there in the thick of it. Again,

388
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: DJ's playing really good ball. Also, the system they run

389
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: out there not nearly as pass heavy, so it probably

390
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: suits him stylistically a lot more. Let's just keep an

391
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: eye on. I think kay Klubnick is a potentially great player.

392
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: I think that that, combined with hopefully some alterations debos

393
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: when he makes to his program, will lead to a

394
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: bounce back year of sorts for Clemson. Could be a

395
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: win win, both parties could be better off. In twenty

396
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: twenty three, we shall see Hudson card the Christmas crowd,

397
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: in other words, the normal people among us who weren't

398
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: paying as much attention to the portal over the past week.

399
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: Did you know Hudson Card found a new home too,

400
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: and it's in West Lafayette, Indiana. That's right, he's a

401
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: boiler Maker now that you may have known. But how

402
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: many of you could name the current head coach at Purdue.

403
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: It's dead air. I'm just giving you time to think.

404
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: It is Ryan Walters, who was the defensive coordinator for

405
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: Illinois this year Broil's Award finalist, by the way. And furthermore,

406
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: how many of you can name the offensive co ordinator

407
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: at Purdue right now? Because these are all new answers. Obviously,

408
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: it's Graham Harrold. If you want to make some sense

409
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: of Hudson Card out of all the places he could

410
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: have gone choosing to go from Austin to Purdue, you

411
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: need look no further than the offensive coordinator he's linking

412
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: up with, which is a pivotal thing to pay attention to. Obviously,

413
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: if you got a new staff coming in Hudson Card,

414
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: this was very quiet. This will not draw nearly the

415
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: attention of some of the other more high profile transfers.

416
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: There may be some guys who aren't even in the

417
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: portal yet who's still going the portal that command more

418
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: attention than this. But if you look at some of

419
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two Big Ten passing ranks, Purdue was

420
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: first in completions, attempts, passing yards. So are we to

421
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: assume that those numbers fall off a cliff because they

422
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: hired a defensive minded coach, or are we to believe

423
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: that getting a guy who's been through the ring or

424
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: a little bit at quarterback, combining him with a proven

425
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: to some degree offensive coordinator and Graham Harrell and hopefully

426
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: Ryan Walter is sort of turning the keys over to

427
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: those guys. Are we to assume that we'll get more

428
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: of the same potentially we'll see. I am very, very

429
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: fascinated by that by that link up, though Georgia made

430
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: some noise too. Dominic Lovett, the receiver out of Missouri,

431
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: he landed at Georgia over the Christmas break. So did

432
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 1: ra Row Thomas from Mississippi State. He landed there. And

433
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: those are a couple of guys that you know. Dominic

434
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: love It eight hundred and fifty yard reception kind of guy.

435
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: Ra Rod Thomas had six twenty six this year in

436
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: the right system. They are both one thousand yard potential guys.

437
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Not predicting it for either one. That is a hard

438
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: stat to come by. The opportunity will be there for

439
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: either one of them to break out. So keep an

440
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: eye on all these and as I have said many times,

441
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: I'll reiterate it once more, we fully expect a second

442
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: wave in the transfer portal and it could be quarterbacks.

443
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: You just never know. So when the playoff games start happening,

444
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: you know, for better or for worse. We will find

445
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: out about two of these rosters, maybe by early next week,

446
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: because either TCU or Michigan is gonna be out their

447
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: season will be over. Either Georgia or Ohio State will

448
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: see their season end this Saturday, and then we'll find

449
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: out if some guys off those rosters are moving. We

450
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: get Utah and Penn State and the Rose Bowl coming up. Well,

451
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: I mean stance to reason some guys could move on

452
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: from those programs. We'll see. I want to get to

453
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: this nil topic here. I appreciate you guys being tuned in.

454
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: If you're tuned in live, go ahead and like the

455
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: video if you're watching the replay, also same instructions like

456
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: the video. Just take a little sit from the challice

457
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: before I dive into this nil topic. I told a

458
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: story on the Tuesday night show which a lot of

459
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: you did not hear because you've been on break standable

460
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: and I understand the lower viewership numbers over Christmas Break.

461
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: There were some good stories and bad stories on the

462
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday show. I actually put the individual video up on

463
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: the channel, so if you see a thumbnail with Chip

464
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: Kelly's face on it, it's got some interesting stories in there.

465
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: One of them has to do with caffeine ingestion. One

466
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: of them has to do with a river runs through it,

467
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: and a certain head coach on the West Coast strongly

468
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 1: advise you to go check out those two stories. It

469
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: won't be the highest traffic video we do. The SEO

470
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: is terrible on it, but it's worth your time if

471
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 1: you like stories all right. In Io is an issue

472
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: for some, it's a benefit and a weapon for others.

473
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State, you've heard a lot of friction around there,

474
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: and hopefully they're getting their act together. Iowa. I know

475
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: most of you probably aren't following the minute to minute

476
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: goings on in Iowa City, but Gary Barta up there

477
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: is the athletic director, and then Brad Heinrichs. I believe

478
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: is the name of the guy who runs the Swarm collective.

479
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: That's just the name of Iowa Football's collective. And there's

480
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: been a nice little back and forth, nice little rift,

481
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: good old fashioned rift, if you will, between mister Heinrichs

482
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: and the collective there and the athletic department, and the

483
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: athletic department is sort of cold shouldering, if not outright

484
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: stonewalling the collective. And those folks who see in the

485
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: b roll Iowa fans they're caught in the middle. They're

486
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: not caught in the middle at all. They're a little

487
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: aggravated at their athletic department right now because they perceive

488
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: their ad and their athletic department's approach to be very

489
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: antiquated and very very backwards thinking. And they are looking

490
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: at their athletic department and worried they're not alone. It's

491
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: just Iowa was the poster chop for this right now.

492
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: They're worried that they're voluntarily handcuffing themselves while some of

493
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: their arrivals look at them as they disappear into the distance.

494
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: Not good, right, Well, there's a lot going on there,

495
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: and they're going to tell you title nine BS, this

496
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: is not This does not start and end with Title nine.

497
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: Title nine is a convenient excuse that a lot of

498
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: people put on this and by that for those of

499
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: you unfamiliar with what's going on up here, the Brad

500
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: Heinrich's of the world, and just fill in the blank,

501
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: your university, your collective. Here's what they want. They want

502
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: to be able to raise money to pay the players.

503
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: That's what they want. I think we all get that.

504
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: That's legal, by the way, and what they need is

505
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: access to some information that the athletic department has. For instance,

506
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: it would go a long way for your local collective

507
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: to have access to things like email lists, donor sheets.

508
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: Some universities have been very hesitant to have that information

509
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: over and there are several reasons why. Now on the surface,

510
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: apparently I was trying to tell you, well, we can't

511
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: do this until we can make sure that we're in

512
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: compliance with Title nine. Your collective's not beholden to Title

513
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: nine rules. Your university would be if your university was

514
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: cutting checks to players. That's why that's not the way

515
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: it works right now. Maybe in the future we see

516
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: things change, your collective's not beholden to that. So anyone

517
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: who tells you it's a title nine thing is trying

518
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 1: to cover up the real reason. Here's the real reason,

519
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: and I'm just going to tell you like it is,

520
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: and then they can make whatever they want of it.

521
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: There are some programs out there who are football first

522
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: at the expense of everything else, because they will look

523
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: you in the eye and say, football funds everything around here.

524
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: Get out of football's way. That is how I run

525
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: paid state. For example. There are other programs that look

526
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: at college football and they say that's great, but you know,

527
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: what about women's golf? What about track and field. I'm

528
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: not here to rain on women's golf. For track and field,

529
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm for as many scholarship programs and as many opportunities

530
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: for people to advance theirselves academically and athletically as possible.

531
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: Sound like an athletic director right now, I'm all for that.

532
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: Here is the problem, and here's why some of your

533
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: ads are very hesitant to hand over that information to

534
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: your collective. They know when that collective gets their hands

535
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: on those donor lists, those donors are going to be

536
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: coerced willingly into redirecting a lot of their donation money

537
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: solely to football, and a lot of the ways that

538
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: those administrators got in the positions they are are because

539
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: coaches of non football sports with clout put them there.

540
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: So those non football coaches behind the scenes are knocking

541
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: on the door saying, don't you dare hang us out

542
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: and dry. I need my new indoor putting green. Like

543
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: we over at track and field, we on the baseball team,

544
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: we need things and we're not going to get him.

545
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: If all our donors are just putting money into a

546
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: collective to go play football players or go play football players,

547
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: that's valid. Okay, So you can understand how there are

548
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of qualms that some people have. First time

549
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: I've used qualm this year, a lot of qualms that

550
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: some non football related entities would have. Nevertheless, that's where

551
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: we are today now. I don't think this is going

552
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: to be a problem forever. I think the Iowas of

553
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: the world are eventually going to get their act together.

554
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Gary Barda is selfish. I don't think

555
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: the guy's stupid. I think he's got tons more on

556
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: his plate behind the scenes than you could ever imagine.

557
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: Having said that, it's a big boy position, it's a

558
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: heat position, and that's where he's got to operate. Otherwise

559
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: you got to bow out and let somebody else sit

560
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: in that ad chair. So ultimately I think they'll get

561
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: that figured out. Here is why I'm not gonna waste

562
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: a lot of time on this portion, the internal squabbling

563
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: with the collectives, the conversation around NIL, it's gonna change,

564
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna change pretty rapidly. You may

565
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: look at it right now and say, oh, this is

566
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: a mess, and to some degree it is. You have

567
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: got to cry before you even crawl, and you gotta

568
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: crawl before you walk, and you gotta walk before you run,

569
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: and you even stumble at times when you do that.

570
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: But eventually you get this whole walking thing, you get

571
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: this whole life thing figured out, and then you become

572
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: a functioning adult. Well, in the grand scheme of things,

573
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: in the NIL world, we're still crying, We're still having

574
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: to be fed by bottle. We don't even have our

575
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: feet under us. Yet. There is coming a day though,

576
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: where in the NIL world we do have our feet

577
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: under us collectively pun intended, And at that point, guys,

578
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: I really don't think the collective's conversation is gonna be

579
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: at the forefront of a lot of the squabbling and

580
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the arguing. Now the arguing may remain.

581
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: I just I think you're gonna find the talking points

582
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: will radically shift because the folk will radically shift. And

583
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: in the future you'll go from saying nil, which is

584
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: this holistic term right now it's the umbrella that you

585
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: put over everything that involves paying players. You'll go from

586
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: just talking about nil to compartmentalizing nil. And that's the reality.

587
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: That's the way it works now. It's just not talked

588
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: about this way. You want to talk about nil the

589
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: proper way. You don't just say nil. You talk about

590
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: different compartments. One compartment is roster value, and that is

591
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: absolutely how much they'll pay you to come play football

592
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: for him right now. But the other is brand value.

593
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: Brand value is going to dominate the conversation down the road,

594
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: if not nearly immediately. Brand value is not how much

595
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: money can I get from a collective. Brand value is

596
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: because I go play middle linebacker for Penn State, T

597
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: Mobile wants to have interest in me, or the local

598
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: Ford dealership wants to have interest in me. Basically the

599
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: truer spirit of nil. Right now, it's mom and pop

600
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: as it relates to how that all operates. That's gonna change.

601
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna change really quickly. Because here's the hard truth,

602
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: and this is not a bad thing for players. It's

603
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: a tough pill to swallow initially, but once you swallow it,

604
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: you realize, oh my goodness, this pill just opened up

605
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: a whole new world for me. The value is not

606
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: in the left tackle who plays for LSU. The value

607
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: is the fact that that left tackle is wearing LSU's

608
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: logo on his chest and on his helmet, the ip

609
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: that brand at LSU had more value before that kid

610
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: was ever born than he could ever give that brand.

611
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: He's good enough for LSU to allow him to play

612
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: there on their platform, and in exchange, what they get

613
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: is his service. Where you realize the ultimate value is

614
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: when you blend the two. Group licensing has existed forever

615
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: in pro sports, okay, group licensing meaning the big boy brands.

616
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: They group themselves together and they're in bed with every

617
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: pro sports organization and at the conference and national level.

618
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: From advertising perspective, they do it with college football too.

619
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: That ocean of money is going to be redirected in

620
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: the coming years into the nil world. You know your

621
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: your lear field, your IMGs. You just hear that in

622
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: a tagline on your local radio feed every now and then.

623
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: Those are going to be monsters in this game and

624
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: down the road. What you're going to talk about is

625
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: not so much could I get one eighty five from

626
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: this collective and two and a quarter from this collective,

627
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: You'll still have roster value, but the brand value. In

628
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: other words, because I go play for the University of

629
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Texas and they have group licensing deals with with seven

630
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: of the top twenty brands in America, brands whose commercials

631
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: I see on TV every time I turn it on.

632
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: Just because I put that Longhorn logo on, I'm getting

633
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: money funnel to me from those brands via group licensing deals. Katching.

634
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: Here's why I know we are going to redirect the

635
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: ocean of nil money that way, because that way, guess

636
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: who eltse enriches themselves. Guess who else deepens their pockets

637
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: your local university. Because we have redirected and recentered the

638
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: focus from darkroom shady deals as you see them, to

639
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: oh you mean, we once again realize it is our ip,

640
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: it is our logo you're putting on that gives you

641
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: a little value, and that's going to flow straight through

642
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: that athletic department. That's where we're headed. It's not there yet,

643
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: so right now you still have a lot of these

644
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: fights about whether your athletic director will turn over donor

645
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: lists to your local collective organizer, and which ones will

646
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: they and won't they endorse? And can coaches control it.

647
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: It's a mess right now, just like it's a mess

648
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: when that little baby of yours has to first learn

649
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: to take those steps. But eventually they're nine years old

650
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: and they can function on their own to some degree.

651
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: Still need guidance at nine years old, but they can walk,

652
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: they can talk, they can chew gum. At the same time,

653
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: NIL is going to look a whole lot different down

654
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: the road. So I know it seems like the end

655
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: of the world right now at Iowa, and I know

656
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: it Ohio State. You guys have been none too pleased

657
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: with how things have operated behind the scenes. It's not

658
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna happen overnight. But the premier brands out there, and

659
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: that includes the iowas of the world group, licensing is

660
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: ultimately and brand value in NIL that's ultimately gonna be

661
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: what sets you apart, and you'll be fine, but again

662
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: not overnight. Could we take a couple of minutes here

663
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: and just revisit some bold predictions. This has been so

664
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: fun for me. Dare I say therapeutic? It's been therapeutic

665
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: for me. The bold prediction segments, we did them all

666
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: of August. I just asked, if you had to bet money,

667
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: what would you bet your money on? Get me some

668
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: bold predictions. Well we got four of them tonight that

669
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: I rated eight or higher on the boldness scale. Let's

670
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: see if any of them hit. The first one did not.

671
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: I had no confidence in Nathan's prediction. God bless you, Nathan.

672
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: I just did not believe in this. He said, Georgia's

673
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: defense will be better statistically than last year after the

674
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: regular season. Well, here we are. We have concluded the

675
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: regular season, and Georgia they gave up ten point two

676
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: points per game last year, they gave up twelve point

677
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: eight this year. Still phenomenal. Nine point five my bat

678
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: nine point five points per game last year. It was

679
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: just unrealistic to think that that historical unit was going

680
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: to be topped by this year's unit. So you see

681
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: the passing statistics, that's really what fell off. Even more

682
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: precipitously rushing yards per game a little bit better this

683
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: year than last year. But I put a nine point

684
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: twenty five on this. I just thought it was a

685
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: little too bold, and Nathan it was. Here's the good news.

686
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: You still got the number one overall team in the country.

687
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: They're still favored to win a back to back national championship,

688
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: and we will see them, I think, against the toughest

689
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: offensive test of the year, this Saturday night in Atlanta.

690
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: Next up, let's go to the Big Ten. This one

691
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: was doomed from the outset. Wisconsin goes eleven and one

692
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: and becomes the first Big Ten East school to win

693
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: the conference title game since twenty twelve. That should say

694
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: Big Ten West. It wasn't my tweet. I have no

695
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: control over it. Yeah, it would have been one thing.

696
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: If you told me they're gonna win the West. That's fine.

697
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: They were not winning the Big Ten. And here's how

698
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: I know this, because the next team from the West

699
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: that wins the conference will be the first team from

700
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: the West that wins the conference. It's never happened totally

701
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: lopsided in the Big Ten. Right now, they were plus

702
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: one thousand to win the conference in preseason. They ended

703
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: up going seven and six the Big Ten West. There

704
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: was never a team that even thought about emerging over

705
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: there as a legitimate threat. And that was the entire

706
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: story of the Big Ten this season. There's nothing more

707
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: to say. I put a nine on that, and I

708
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: was absolutely on the money. It wasn't that hard to see.

709
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: I take a little credit for that. Next up we

710
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: go out to the West Coast. This one from Gator

711
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: Fellow was a little, little intricate, little detailed. Here. He said,

712
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: UCLA will be one of the two teams in the

713
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: Pac twelve conference title game. USC will not be the other.

714
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: So what do we need here? We need Chip Kelly

715
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: and company to crash the conference title game and they

716
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: can't play USC. And I put a I put an

717
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: eight and a quarter on that one. I was high

718
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: on UCLA. They were the fourth odds on favorite to

719
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: win the Pac twelve in the preseason, so it wasn't

720
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: crazy to think they play for the Pac twelve title game.

721
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: The problem was USC was the favorite to win the

722
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: conference and for your prediction to come true, they can't

723
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: even make the conference title game. This wasn't that far

724
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: away from happening, though. If You'll recall UCLA was in

725
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: prime position even after they lost to or. They were

726
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: in prime position. But the week before they played USC,

727
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: they lost to Arizona. Then they lost to USC. Who

728
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: knows hoops to amongst us knows how differently things could

729
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: have turned out. As it turns out, UCLA is at

730
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: home on conference title Saturday, USC's there. They lose to Utah,

731
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: But that one did not pan out. What about the

732
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: ACC championship picture. How about this little prediction from August,

733
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: North Carolina wins the ACC and they go to the

734
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: playoff watching from Linkleton, Georgia, Hooma, the Red Devils, and

735
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: Garrison Hurst. Well, that may be true, but this prediction

736
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: was not. I gave this one a nine on the

737
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: boldness scale. North Carolina was plus twelve hundred to win

738
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: the ACC. Again, the prediction is not they're gonna make it,

739
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: They're gonna win the conference title game. Well they got there.

740
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you agree with this, but I

741
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: watched the team all year. They never felt like a

742
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: legit a threat to me, and they ended up playing

743
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: for the conference title. They just never felt legit to me.

744
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: And even if they did at some point in the

745
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: year man, they lost to Georgia Tech three weeks before

746
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: the conference title game or two weeks before the conference

747
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: title game. Then they lost to NC State the week

748
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,479
Speaker 1: before the conference title game, and then they got blown

749
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: out by Clemson, and there was just there was never

750
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: a time, even when Clemson was faltering, there was never

751
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: a time where I thought, Yep, mac Brown's gonna do

752
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: it this year, this is the time, this is the team.

753
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: I just they never really got solid legs under him.

754
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: Congratulations for making it to the conference title game, though.

755
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: As for Penn State, we tried to find what grade

756
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: I put on this prediction. We couldn't find it. Here's

757
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: the prediction though. Penn State has another above average season

758
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: and people truly questioned the new James Franklin contract. Now

759
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: Producer Jesse it's not here tonight because producer Jesse allegedly

760
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 1: thought he had booked an eight am flight to Nashville

761
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: this morning. In reality, he booked himself an eight pm flight.

762
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: I guess he may be in the air right now.

763
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, but be that as it may, he

764
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: did send me a little research packet today, So thank you, Jesse.

765
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: Safe travels and on this particular response. He got personal

766
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: with it and he said, well, Penn State didn't have

767
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: an above average season. They had a great season. They

768
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: went ten and two. We he used, wee a lot.

769
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: We are going to the Rose Bowl, and we are

770
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: not questioning James Franklin. In fact, we have a lot

771
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: of hope. And then he capitalized all the letters in

772
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: the word hope whatever, and then he said, Drew Aller

773
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: plus these running backs plus a solid defense equals Big

774
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: ten championship contenders next year. I made up that last part,

775
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: but he believes it. I know him better than he

776
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: knows himself. So no one's questioning James Franklin there right now.

777
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: They are a program just like Florida State. They're not

778
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: just like Florida State. But I am watching those two

779
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,959
Speaker 1: programs through the same lens of programs that no one's

780
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: talking about on the national stage because there are bigger

781
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: dogs in their own conference to focus on. But they

782
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: keep steadily improving, and they've got some mojo working in

783
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: the right direction, and it's gonna be one of those things,

784
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: at least I hope it is for their sake. It's

785
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those things where they keep chopping

786
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart talks about it all the time. Just keep

787
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: chopping that wood. Greg Ciano used to talk about it

788
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: all the time when Rutgers played like every Thursday night

789
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: back in the day. Just keep chopping wood, keep chopping wood.

790
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: It could be on the tenth stroke, it could be

791
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: on the thirty eighth stroke, But eventually that tree will fall.

792
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: Unless the foreman comes and yanked you off the job,

793
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: that tree will eventually fall. Or if your axe breaks.

794
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 1: A lot of addendums to that, but if you keep chopping,

795
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: sometimes good things can happen. Who knows, maybe next year

796
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: is the Timber year. Timber put it on the T shirt.

797
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: No one else has said that about Penn State. So

798
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: those were some bold predictions. Let's see none of them

799
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: came true. Bad night for bold predictions. We have a

800
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: question that I need to address before we wrap the

801
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: show up tonight, and I'll show you the question and

802
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: then adjust myself in the chair here right quick. And

803
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: it's interesting because it is not as it appears. So

804
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: here's Scott's question. Scott asked, why are these coaches so

805
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: paranoid about opening practices to the public. We only get

806
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: to see glorified stretching. Scott is upset and he is

807
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: an avon Indiana. And you'll notice if you have followed

808
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: me on the socials at Late Josh for any length

809
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: of time, or you watch the show for any length

810
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: of time. I've spoken about this before, and I've told

811
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: you I think there's a lot of paranoia involved with

812
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: how coaches run their programs and run practices. However, you

813
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: have not heard me talk about this lately, have you.

814
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: Here's why I got set straight on it. One of

815
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: the benefits when we travel is we get to talk

816
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: to coaches a lot, and a lot of coaches watch

817
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: this show and listen to the show. And when I

818
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: say something that is either incorrect or not fully informed,

819
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: we have got a small army of coaches and player

820
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: personnel types. They'll jump in your dms, they'll text you,

821
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: and they'll say, hey, here's what you need to know.

822
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: Well on this particular topic, I didn't see the whole picture.

823
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: I see the whole picture now. Paranoia is certainly part

824
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: of it. Like today in Atlanta, they had the Peach

825
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: Bowl media viewing for practice and Georgia sat there and

826
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: stretched in front of them for fifteen minutes. That's all

827
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: you got to see, and then you leave, and then

828
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: they get to actual work. And that happens a lot

829
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: during the season too, and so for a little while

830
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: they could say, oh, it's called a COVID. Well it's

831
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: not COVID anymore. So it's back to just a normal world.

832
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: And you still can't watch just because we say so,

833
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: why is that? Is it just paranoia? Why is that

834
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: there's a there's one calling me right now, I'll have

835
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: to text him back. So I want to answer the

836
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: question by asking you a question because I want to

837
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: help you see what's going on here, cause as usual,

838
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: someone outside the football complex has as fumbled the ball,

839
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: and as a result, you don't get something that really

840
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: it would be nice to have access to. Why is

841
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: December a mess in college football right now? Well, the

842
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: calendar is a mess because people who have no clue

843
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: how to run an athletic department or a football program

844
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: are the ones who wrote the calendar and wrote the rules.

845
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: And that's just the way it is right now, until

846
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: further notice, we've been talking about that, until we've been

847
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: blue in the face. The calendar for college football is

848
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: messed up because people who have no clue what it

849
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: takes to run a football program, make the calendar. Well. Similarly,

850
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: in the world of staffing and in the world of

851
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: why you can't see more open practices? What if I

852
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: told you it's because people who have no clue how

853
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: to run a football program are the ones who make

854
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 1: the rules on that sort of thing. You may say,

855
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: no one made a pool that said coaches can't allow

856
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: me to watch practice. Did they know? To my knowledge,

857
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: they didn't make that rule. Here's the end the weeds

858
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: on this. I know a lot of you probably don't

859
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: know every page of the NCAA rule book because it

860
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: is multiple phone books put together. But you may sit

861
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: there and think to yourself, I'd love to see open practices.

862
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: I would too, I'd love to watch full practices or

863
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: maybe just one or two a week. Coaching stats have

864
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: their hands tied behind their back right now. It's not

865
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: just paranoia. It's not that they're worried that people will

866
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: spy on them. Yeah, there's some of that, and truthfully

867
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: they don't want to do it. Deal with the headache.

868
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 1: But coaches don't open practice more because you cannot see

869
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: what's going on at practice. And I don't mean installs

870
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: and I don't mean who's hurt and who's not. Some

871
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: of that's true. They can't let you see how they

872
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: operate practice because they're not doing it by the book,

873
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: because the nc double A predictably has drugged their feet

874
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: on passing measures that allow you to actually see what

875
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: goes on. Let me paint a picture for you right now.

876
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: I want you to imagine, with ten on field staffers

877
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: and four on field grad assistants trying to operate a

878
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: football practice, you two spot, which means you got basically

879
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: two practices going on at the same time. You call plays,

880
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: you're subbing, you are actually trying to execute hands on

881
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: teaching and coaching, and you're doing all that with what

882
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: with one head coach, ten on field staffers, and four

883
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: grad assistants. I think you got five strength coaches out

884
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: there too. Nobody at the highest levels of college football

885
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: can operate a practice like that, effectively translation, we can't

886
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: let you see how we practice. Once we close the doors,

887
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: once we sweep the media out of here, then we

888
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: bring that army of support staff out here, who as

889
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: of this moment technically aren't even allowed to be coaching

890
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: on the field hands on, which is ludicrous and it's antiquated,

891
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: and it's a rule in fairness that there's been a

892
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: lot of talk about changing to allow a much fat

893
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: on field staff, but to this point they haven't changed it. Well,

894
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: as a result, we got to close practice because we're

895
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: not going to practice under antiquated rules. We're going to

896
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: bring those guys out of the tunnel as soon as

897
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: we do close practice. It's just that in the meantime,

898
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: we got to close it up. We cannot let you

899
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: see this happening, because we'll get in trouble, we'll get

900
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: popped on the wrist, or even worse, two of those

901
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: staffers probably won't be able to go out on the

902
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: road and recruit for a few weeks. And so of

903
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: course there's pushback on it, and that's why there are

904
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: feet being drug. There's pushback because some of the have

905
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: nots alleged that some of the haves given unlimited staff size,

906
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: will just go grab up all the coaches and they'll

907
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: bury them as the sixteenth quality control kicking specialist, just

908
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: so you can't have them, I would argue, I would

909
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: counter with the fact that if you can offer hands

910
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: on with a position group and they can just bury

911
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: someone on a special team's depth chart, you're probably going

912
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: to get quality candidates. Be that as it may, what

913
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: is best for the players and what is best for

914
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: the ultimate product. NFL practices are open. They do just fine.

915
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: They execute at a high level, but that's because they're

916
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: not having to work around really ridiculous, antiquated rules like

917
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: you do in college football. So some coaches won't let

918
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: you watch their practices because they're paranoid. Other coaches won't

919
