00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna skip two games and get back to them, but

00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: have thoughts on Scott Frost. I know you do. I've

00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: will rip the bandaid off in very short order. Tonight,

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: I've got several updates on quarterback battles. Some qb ones

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: have been named. We're sitting here even as we go

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: on air live and we're waiting for some other announcements

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: to happen. Just I gott not stress this enough. Don't

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: miss a show. There's gonna be a lot of things

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: woven into tonight's show that we will not clip for

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: individual use. You won't see it in individual form on

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel. There's a lot in the podcast and

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: the live shows these days, especially during the season, that

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: you only get if you watch the show. They're watching

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: us or listening to us in Horatio, Arkansas, Salem, Virginia, Cumberland, Gap, Tennessee, Kalamazoo,

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: Michigan and for all of you and then some I

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: got some good news and I got some bad news.

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: Good news is college football's back. The bad news is

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: college football's back. And that means, as you well know, friends,

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: we have a flood of casuals who have been checked

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: out in what they would describe as the off season,

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: and they're coming back to the table and droves this week. Now,

39
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: that's all well and good, we'll save them a seat,

40
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: But they're gonna come and they're gonna sit down, and

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna say things like you see on your screen.

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: Right now. For those of you in the podcast audience,

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: let me read what I stumbled upon in the YouTube

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: comment section today from a person we'll just refer to

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: as tea quote. What fun is this college football thing

46
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: when it's practically the same four teams every year? No

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: wonder soccer and cricket has more views globally than American football.

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up, so it's right here on

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: the screen. He finishes, this crap is worse than WWE.

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: I of course had to drop the elbow of knowledge

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: on him and inform him that the same four teams

52
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: have never made the college football playoff twice. We've been

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: doing this thing since twenty fourteen. Now you know, I'm

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: no fan of the playoff, but we have never had

55
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: the same two teams. It's one of the most popular

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: talking points, one of the most easily dunked upon myths

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: in college football. Same four teams make it every year. Yeah,

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: except for that they never have made it. The same

59
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: four teams have never made it twice. We are lubed

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: up immunity. No immunity tonight, let's just dive into the show.

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: I've got to first talk about a lot of quarterback updates.

62
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: We got a lot of qb ones being named, for

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: example Texas A and m Jimbo Fisher. We waste no time.

64
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: They have announced Haines King, as we expected, is going

65
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: to get the start against Sam Houston. Now what is

66
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: not going to be announced and nor should it be announced,

67
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: is one guy is going to go wire to wire

68
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: whole season. But it stands to reason this is the

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: culmination of what was a very tight quarterback battle out there.

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: They had Max Johnson come in there. I think that

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Wegman is eventually going to factor into this. He's their

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: true freshman quarterback. He's the guy that pretty much everyone

73
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: around the program until he has the most upside. He

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: was not going to be their Week one starter. So

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Haines King comes back from injury. I remember being out

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: there for the Auburn game last year, which was the

77
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: middle to latter portion of last season, and I saw

78
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: him doing some what they would call dry land work

79
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: in the pregame. He looked good then, so I didn't

80
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: really have any doubts that physically he was going to

81
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: get back now, turn O, you know through their scrimmages,

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: that's been something that's been whispered about. I've given you

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: my take, I've spoken my piece on that. It's gonna

84
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: be okay. They'll be fine. What you need to focus

85
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: on to me watching A and M is not so

86
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: much turnover rate. Yeah, that's happening. That's a bigger issue.

87
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: How able are they to do what they tried to

88
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: do in the spring game, which is take that ball

89
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: and push it down the field a whole lot more.

90
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: That'll be the name of the game. And you don't

91
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: have to wait long cause they're going to play this Saturday.

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: So let's keep an eye on that. Over under win

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: total eight and a half. They opened against Sam Houston.

94
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: They got app State in week two, and then it's

95
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Miami coming in there in week three. That figures figures

96
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: to be the first legitimate pushback they get at Ole Miss.

97
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: We do not have an announcement yet. And when I

98
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: say we know, and I mean I'm looking over here

99
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: because I've got kind of a side monitor pulled up.

100
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: This could come at any moment, or it could not

101
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: come tonight at all. Lane Kiffin has not announced the

102
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Yet. Now you remember a couple of weeks ago,

103
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: the ReBs were over there, there's scrimmage in and then

104
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: it was a Sunday after the scrimmage, and we were

105
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: getting really good intel Jackson Dart and I don't think

106
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: it was wrong. I think he did have a really

107
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: good afternoon. I took that to mean, oh, maybe the

108
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: separation that people expected when the transfer happened, maybe it's

109
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: starting to occur. That separation has not occurred, at least

110
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: to our knowledge. So Luke Altmeyer has hung in that thing.

111
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: It's no shock that he has that staff likes him.

112
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: It's just that we're looking over there for a replacement

113
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: to Matt Corral and we're probably not looking at that.

114
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: No matter who ends up winning this starting job, that's

115
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: not the end of the world. Because they've got surprisingly

116
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: good defensive front depth. They got Zach Evans who can

117
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: run for like nine hundred yards a game, so they've

118
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: got a good enough team over there. We're a little

119
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: bit lower on him, but we've been wrong before, so

120
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: they got a good enough team over there. They're over

121
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: under win total seven and a half would be nine

122
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: and a half probably if they played in the ACC.

123
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: So it's a really good, solid team. Here's the important

124
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: part to remember whether it's Jackson Dart or Luke Altmeyer.

125
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: And your guess is as good as mine at the

126
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: moment on that. By the way, they do not have

127
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: that murderer's row of September like some of you out

128
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: there have. They got Troy, they got Central Law, Arkansas.

129
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: They go to Georgia Tech, which is about as favorable

130
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: an out of conference road situation as you could possibly draw.

131
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: Then they have Tulsa at home, and then it's Kentucky.

132
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: They open conference play in October against Kentucky. They have

133
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: plenty of time to figure things out. As my point.

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: Next up, what a peculiar turn of events at Michigan.

135
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, what you tell me when you heard of

136
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: this before. So Jim Harbaugh, I'm not gonna read the

137
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: whole statement, but Harbaugh puts out a statement I believe yesterday,

138
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: right Colin, I think it was yesterday, And he says,

139
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: some of you think these are not his words, these

140
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: are my words that I am translating from the statement

141
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: that he released. So some of you think JJ McCarthy

142
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: should start here. Others of you think, no, shouldn't be

143
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: McCarthy at all. It should be Caid McNamara. Well, you

144
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna appease everyone while

145
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: appeasing no one. And here's what's gonna happen. JJ McCarthy

146
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: is gonna start Week two against Hawaii. Cad McNamara is

147
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna start Week one against two. Do they play Colorado State.

148
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: I know it sounds like I'm making that up. I'm not.

149
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna start one guy one week and another guy

150
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: the next week. And he's already he's already put this

151
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: in stone, like we're not gonna go week one and

152
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: just figure it out in week two. So that if

153
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't tell you what kind of layup a September

154
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: Michigan has on its collective plate, then I don't know

155
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: what does. So the good news from all this joking

156
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: aside is they clearly have two guys they think they

157
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: can win with. They felt that way last year. I

158
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: think they rotated them accordingly. So I'm very very high

159
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: on Michigan this year. They open as the JP ranked

160
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: fourth team in the country, and I know that sounds arrogant,

161
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: but we do have a chart. We do have a

162
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: poll around here named the JP Pole. So that's the

163
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: latest out of Michigan. We did get an announcement there.

164
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: We've also got finality in the Auburn quarterback battle. TJ Finley,

165
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: as we pretty much started to expect over the last

166
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, will start for Brian Harson in year

167
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: two down there at Auburn. Now, TJ Finley not new.

168
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, he came from on LSU. He was there

169
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: last year. He started the final three games of the

170
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: season and was I think about a fifty six percent

171
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: completion percentage guy, four touchdowns, one pick. There's been a

172
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: lot of talk around the Auburn camp that TJ. Finley's

173
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: kind of a changed guy finally gets to be in

174
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: a system multiple years in a row. And you know

175
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: what the talking points always sound like there. We also

176
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: know another I'm not going to say unfortunate truth because

177
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: we only think that we know it. We think we

178
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: know this is not one of the better receiver rooms

179
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: in the country, and we think we know that we

180
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: got a really really solid running back here in take Bigsby.

181
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: But outside of that, they're short on proven commodities, and

182
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: normally if you've got a quarterback who, in and of himself,

183
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: you don't expect to light the world on fire. What

184
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: you hope is you hope he's got a nice supporting cast. Well,

185
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: you may have the worst of both worlds there. I'm

186
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: not trying to not TJ Finley. I mean, I'll sit

187
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: there and root for him as hard as anyone. But

188
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: you've got a guy who still has a lot to

189
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: prove from the stand of measuring up against the other

190
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: quarterback talent in his own division. And then you've also

191
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: got a team that has to overachieve relative to expectations.

192
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: So this is Auburn. Even within the Auburn pantheon of history.

193
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: It's crazier things have happened, but certainly as there's a

194
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: tall task in front of them. They do, though, get

195
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: Mercer in San Jose State to start the season, and

196
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: then that Penn State game in week three, and then

197
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: Missouri in week four and then LSU in week five.

198
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: That's that critical five game stretch we've talked about at

199
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: ad nauseum. If you're new around here and you've just

200
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: come back to the trough this week, this is all

201
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: new to you. But our hardcore audience has heard me

202
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: say this for about four or five months LSU last

203
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I just wanted to touch on here because there's really

204
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: not anything new. Jaden Daniels, Garrett Nussmeyer, Brian Kelly was

205
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: kind of adamant last week that we're gonna make an

206
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: announcement if it's not happening as we speak on the

207
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: show right now, probably tomorrow or Tuesday. The smart money

208
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: around the LSU camp right now is Jaden Daniels. But

209
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: it feels like it's pretty close down there. I don't

210
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 1: think that a decisions been disseminated around the building or

211
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: anything like that. For that matter, I didn't tell you,

212
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: but David Johnson over on Inside the Rebels was talking

213
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: about the Old miss Battle and he said, according to

214
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: his sources, as of today Sunday, link iff and has

215
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: not informed his coaching staff. So yeah, there's a lot

216
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: of remains to be seen. Could be some staffers out

217
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: there driving home from the building seeing if they're gonna

218
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: get updates from the show. Yeah, that's the state of

219
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: affairs in college football right now. Appreciate you guys being

220
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: tuned in live. I'm about to be on the road

221
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: for the next I don't know, call it fifty weeks

222
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: in a row with the every given Saturday tour, and

223
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: we'll be infatable this Saturday. You know what I'm gonna

224
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: have in my pocket, don't you. Anyone who bumped into

225
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: me last year knows. It's like a gold mine running

226
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: into me. Not because of me per se, I'm just me,

227
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: but because of what I have in my pocket. And

228
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: those are Academy Sports and Outdoors gift cards. So we're

229
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: gonna get restocked on those things. I think I have

230
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: a few left over at the apartment, but we are

231
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: going to be restocked on those things. So it's a

232
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: really good time of year. There's virtually no downside. We

233
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: get football. You get to be in your tailgating spot

234
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: if they haven't snatched them up for corporate use tist task,

235
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: and you get to see your friends and you get

236
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: to see your team play. But also you get to

237
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: go to Academy Sports and Outdoors, and in some cases

238
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: you get to do it for an extremely discounted rate

239
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: because you picked up a gift card courtesy of yours

240
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: truly here Academy Sports and Outdoors. I got hit up

241
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: by someone today. I should have screenshot it and sent

242
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: it to Colin for use on air. The guy came

243
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: to me and he said that he and his sibling

244
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: were involved in a school play and one of them

245
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: had to personify a famous person. The person was bald.

246
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't remember who it was, and I'm talking about

247
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: full bald. Okay. So they go and they get a

248
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: swim cap from Academy and they painted the skin color

249
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: of whoever we're talking about, and the show went off

250
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: without a hitch. And the person responded to me and said,

251
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: you were right. I doubted you, but you were right.

252
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: You truly can get everything you need in life at

253
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors. They are our exclusive partner. Today

254
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: is the twenty eighth. In about four days, this show

255
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: is going to look different to me for the better

256
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: because of Academy Sports and Outdoors. So a lot of

257
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,360

Speaker 1: sporting goods needs and I can subscribe. Colin says in

263
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: my ear just go ahead and like the video while

264
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: you're watching. What do we have right now, just over

265
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: five hundred Quick Stats and Info says five hundred likes,

266
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: with about twenty five hundred watching live. Is it's below

267
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: our standard, So let's hit that thumbs up button. Thank you.

268
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: I hold in my hand a piece of paper that

269
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: has really, really bad things written on it. But nope,

270
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: it's not a sixth grade textbook with graffiti from prior classes. No, no, no,

271
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: this is yesterday's box score between Northwestern and Nebraska. Northwestern

272
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: ended up beating Nebraska thirty one to twenty eight. Now,

273
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: someone somewhere out there stopped watching this game when it

274
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: was twenty eight to seventeen Nebraska and all the momentum

275
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: in this world was on the big red sideline, and

276
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: then a big red disaster happened. How did it happen?

277
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: You probably asked yourself as you saw the final score

278
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: on your phone hours later. You say, how, how could

279
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: they have possibly squandered that lead? Well, we told you how,

280
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: and we didn't even need the benefit of having watched

281
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: the game. Let's take you back to last Thursday night

282
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: on a late kick. Let's bring the gray effect in

283
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: on the video Colin or Roll it pretty much the

284
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: whole season, but especially in the first few weeks. Far

285
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: more games are lost than they are won. And if

286
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: you've watched this sport for any length of time, you

287
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: know what Week zero, Week one, the first couple of

288
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: games of the year sometimes look like Sometimes you watch

289
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: a couple of teams and they're just they're playing a game.

290
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: As Jim Ross would say that it's bowling shoe ugly,

291
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: and you almost think to yourself, it's a shame. Someone

292
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: has to win this. It's just here. You take it. No,

293
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: you take it. He's five and twenty one. He's five

294
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: and twenty one in one possession games, so that stat

295
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. I don't really know what to tell you.

296
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you want some solace and

297
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: you want to come to the show and feel better.

298
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're just in the abyss. It's our buddy. J. C.

299
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Sherbert would say. Sometimes you're just out there and you

300
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: are a ship without a sale. And that's what it

301
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: felt like. I know, because I had an inundation of

302
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: DMS from Nebraska yesterday and I just sent frownie faces

303
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: back to you. What else can I do? This like

304
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: we're at a funeral. It's like we're at a visitation.

305
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: You just pat someone on the back and you say

306
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for your loss. Period, there's no butt. It

307
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: just feels like you're kind of in the abyss right now.

308
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: I know that I try and avoid the knee jerk

309
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: reaction on this show, and I'm gonna avoid it here.

310
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do a segment tonight that says

311
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: that's it the end, Scott Frost is out. But I

312
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: feel what you guys feel in that sense of ant

313
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: I guess you would call it inevitability. Now I feel

314
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: it too. The The reality is, while there is this

315
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: scenario in a vacuum where this ends up working out, okay,

316
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: we're not in a vacuum anymore. We've got so much

317
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: perspective at this point in year five of the Scott

318
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: Frost era that if this were happening in year one,

319
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: it'd be one thing. But it's happening in year five.

320
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: We do have that five and twenty one in one

321
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: possession game stat to throw in anyone's face. So it's

322
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: it's sad. So I think that if you didn't watch

323
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: this game yesterday. By the way, what I'm talking about

324
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: is Nebraska's up twenty eight seventeen and they go for

325
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: an on side kick, which I'm not a questioning play

326
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: calling guy, but it just seemed absurd at the time,

327
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: and it obviously didn't work out for him, and that

328
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: was a shift that if you put a pinpoint in

329
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: the flow of the box score, from that point forward,

330
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: there was nothing good that happened for Nebraska. They end

331
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: up losing the game. But here's the thing. If we

332
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: were to put up the box score, Colin, do you

333
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: have the box score you can put up for me. Again,

334
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: if we were to put this graphic up and you

335
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: were to look at it and say, wow, Nebraska really

336
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: dominated everywhere but the final score, it wouldn't change the outcome,

337
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: but at least you would say this is kind of

338
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: a phantom result. There were a lot of positive things

339
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: to take away from this game. Otherwise that wasn't the case.

340
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: If you watched this Nebraska was the second most physical

341
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: team on the field. Their offensive line struggle, defensive line struggle,

342
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers, crippling mounts of drops. Yesterday, you didn't even

343
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: have to watch the whole game, just pick a little

344
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: five minute chunk. Chances are there was a critical Nebraska

345
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: drop somewhere. So again you had a situation where you've

346
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: got Nebraska against the team that man for man they

347
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: outclass and it did not matter at all. And this

348
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: is a team that they beat by a million last

349
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: year and it just didn't matter. So the sad reality,

350
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: as I said, is there is a context where we

351
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: could look at this game. We could say, now, now

352
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: let's not rush to judgment, but you know, I could say, oh,

353
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: they had new everything, you know, new pieces from the portal,

354
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: new coaching staff, so it should take a little while

355
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: to finally grease those wheels. They don't have time. The

356
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: entire contingency, you know, the entire the entire predicate of

357
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: having the opportunity for this season is it's thin ice,

358
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: your blades are hot. You don't get the benefit of

359
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: having that long runway that some other staffs would have

360
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: in year one or whatever. So I heard a lot

361
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: of people say, oh, he needs the Oklahoma game to

362
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: save his job. Does Scott Frost Scott Frost that need

363
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma game to save his job? He needs the

364
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: North Dakota game, you know, he needs the Georgia Southern game.

365
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't know where in the world we slip into

366
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: this trance of thinking that there are any layups or

367
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: gimmes for Nebraska right now. They got to come home

368
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: from Ireland and play a football game six days later. Guys,

369
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: So they've got North Dakota. Couldn't care less if it's

370
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: a high school in Fargo. They've got to play a

371
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: football game this Saturday. Then they got another one against

372
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: by the way, Clay Helton's Georgia Southern Eagles. Yoo. So

373
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: then Oklahoma comes in there at the very lead. Yesterday

374
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 1: had major ramifications, major every given Saturday Tour ramifications. It

375
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: just felt like a large chunk of the crowd that

376
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: was willing to give it one more shot and a

377
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: large chunk of the crowd that's still behind Scott Frost evaporated.

378
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's hope that the Scott Frost era would turn around.

379
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Everyone's hope that eventually we planted the seed, and we

380
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: waited and waited and waited, and finally it breaks ground.

381
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's hope was predicated on winning that game yesterday. They

382
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: had to have that. There was no scenario where they

383
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: lose to Northwestern and it still ends up scaling upwards.

384
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: So I feel that just like you guys do if

385
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: I had to bet money on the coaching futures. No,

386
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't think Scott Frost will be there at the

387
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: end of the year. The buyout for the record does

388
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: drop at the beginning of October. So it's not the

389
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: kind of show. It's not the kind of segment. If

390
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: you've watched me, you know that I particularly enjoyed doing.

391
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: But it is reality, so we do have to talk

392
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: about it. But now we're done talking about it. There

393
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: is a different schedule this week on the show. I

394
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: want to quickly remind you guys, Tuesday's going to be normal,

395
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: so we're good. Thursday we do not have a show,

396
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why because I'll be traveling. But

397
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: that's not the real reason, because I could travel On Friday,

398
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: we have two big games. Thursday night we do a

399
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: show talking about college football. I'm not going to do

400
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: a show while it's on. That would be ludicrous. So

401
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: we've got Penn State Perdue, which will also have big

402
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: every given Saturday to our ramifications, and we got Backyard

403
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: Brawl cranking back up. We got Pitt hosting West Virginia

404
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: and those games. I think one of them kicks off

405
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: at six eastern, so we're not going to have a

406
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: show Thursday night. Then Sunday night, Colin, I haven't even

407
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: told you this. I'll pay attention Sunday night, five thirty

408
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: Central start time. Why because FSU and LSU start at

409
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: six thirty central, seven thirty eastern. So yes, we do

410
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: have a show Tuesday. Everything's normal Thursday night show Sunday

411
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: early start time. Just make sure you have your notifications

412
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: turned on. You guys should be fine. And with that said,

413
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: it is time to predict some games. We have waited

414
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: so long to do this. I appreciate you guys being

415
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: tuned in like the video. If you haven't already, I

416
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: see a lot of you have. Where are we starting?

417
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: Spin the Wheel? It lands in Columbus, Ohio, Notre Dame

418
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: at Ohio State Saturday night, seven thirty eastern timekick. This

419
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: is an ABC game. These are wallet danger games. We're

420
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: gonna just create some new terminology this year because I'm

421
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: bored with the old stuff. The game's gonna be what

422
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: it is. That's how every game is it. It'll be

423
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: what it'll be. But sometimes when you have these kind

424
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: of marquee games to open the season. What if you

425
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: have it figured out in April. What if whatever the

426
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: final score ends up being on this game, what if

427
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: you had it figured out in April. Do you know

428
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: anyone yourself included, that arrives at a conclusion on a

429
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: final score in April and then you let May and

430
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: June and July and August go by. That's a third

431
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: of a year. If Statson Info is correct, and you

432
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: don't change your mind very rarely. You got to be

433
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: very disciplined to stick with it. So what happens is

434
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: your wallet gets in danger because you already had it

435
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: figured out, and then you talk yourself out of the

436
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: right stance because you start listening to position groups, get

437
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: turned from very good into superhuman, and you get the

438
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: Xbox crowd who convinces you that Ohio State's gonna hang

439
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty yards passing Saturday night against a

440
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: really good defensive team. And that's really not how reality

441
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: plays out. So be careful. I'm gonna show you what

442
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: our model thinks about this game. I'm gonna give you

443
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: a final score, or I'm gonna give you a prediction

444
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: at least, So just be careful. There are three paths

445
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: that this Nina could take. Number One, of course, Ohio

446
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: State roles and all's well in Columbus, and hey, Marcus

447
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: Freeman still got a top five recruiting class, so we'll

448
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: be better down the road. Number two, you just have

449
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame upset. That would be a really, really

450
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: big stunner. Not the biggest shock in the world, but

451
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: a really big stunner. But then there's this third one

452
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: that would lead to the most stupid range of national

453
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: conversation in the world, and that national and world's kind

454
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: of redundant, and that is if Notre Dame loses, but

455
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: keeps it close. And I'll reference that again in a second.

456
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: But remember how we do these types of games, when

457
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: we have these big points spreads. What we try and

458
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: do is ask ourselves, if the upset were to happen,

459
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: how would it happen? So we get the one million

460
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: dollar question asked and then answered in short order. Saturday night,

461
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: million dollar question around this game and this Ohio State

462
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: program has been of course, how improved is this defense

463
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: going to be? And the answer to that question, at

464
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: least we'll start to get a sense of this Saturday

465
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: I start thinking about how Notre Dame would approach this game,

466
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think you have to go back very far.

467
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: Why would they go back any further than asking what

468
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: did Michigan do that works so well? Well, what Michigan

469
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: did is they ran the ball forty one times and

470
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: threw it fourteen times. Now, how big a godsend would

471
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: that be for Notre Dame if they started chipping away

472
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: and they just started feeling things out in the run

473
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: game Saturday night and all of a sudden they're getting

474
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: five and six yards a chunk and they really don't

475
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: have to put an inordinate amount of the load on

476
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Buttner's shoulders. How great would that be? Maybe a

477
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: little unexpected, but how great would that be. You're going

478
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: to have to put them in obvious passing downs. They're

479
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: not going to put themselves there. So that's the first thing,

480
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: and you'll find out a lot about the run defense,

481
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: and that's part of the part of what Jim Knowles

482
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: was brought in directify. But then the other aspect of

483
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: that is everything about that home atmosphere. You know, everything

484
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: about what you're getting geared up to experience there in

485
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: Columbus it's built on being able to affect that offense

486
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: of Notre Dames on third down. Man, if they're not

487
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: really getting a third down very often, it's a different world.

488
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: And Ohio State fans remember all too well what that

489
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: Oregon game felt like last year. So that's the first thing.

490
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: That's where we'll start to learn about this Jim Knowles

491
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: defense a little bit. Secondly, how much can Ohio State

492
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: go after the lack of proven depth in that Notre

493
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Dame secondary. I think they've got reason to feel pretty

494
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: good at their one corner spot, one two corner spots.

495
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: They're fine. Problem is, they won't face another team all year,

496
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: nor will anyone in all likelihood that has the stable

497
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: of receivers and the quarterback to expose your third, fourth,

498
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: and fifth options in your defensive backfield. And Ohio State's

499
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: got it. Now, how deep into the game do we

500
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: get before you really start to see those mismatches unfold.

501
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how many possessions is Ohio State getting

502
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: in the first half. That's largely dependent on the question

503
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: that I just asked about how well they limit Notre

504
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: Dame on the ground and force them into obvious third

505
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: and long passing situations. But I feel like a couple

506
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: of those critical factors are going to, over the span

507
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: of four quarters tilt Ohio State's way. Now, let me

508
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: show you what the model thinks about this game, because

509
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: you know what Vegas already thinks. Vegas as of this

510
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: moment at Caesars has Ohio State minus seventeen. The model,

511
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: which is proprietary, its ours. We run our own data,

512
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: we do our own sets. It spat out Ohio State

513
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: minus eighteen and a half as its line. Now what

514
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: I ended up landing on is I ended up kind

515
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: of bucking the model. I don't is there's not a

516
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: rule that says I have to go with the model.

517
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: So if that thing's sitting at seventh team, I would

518
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: actually slightly lean Notre Dame in the points. I think

519
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: the numbers about right. I would take Ohio State to

520
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: win straight up. But if we go back for just

521
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: a second with me, go back to that third scenario.

522
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you, the conversation around this game

523
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: has a chance to be all time stupid if Notre

524
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: Dame loses this game. But it's close. Here's how this

525
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: will go. You go into the game and you got

526
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of people saying Notre Dame's overrated Ohio State

527
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: by ninety, and then Ohio State wins the game, but

528
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: they win it by eight, And then you've got a

529
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: crowd that says, never mind, these are frauds. Buckey's going

530
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: nowhere further than the Big Ten, if even the Big

531
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: Ten championship game, and that same crowd that starts dragging

532
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: Ohio State for no good reason other than winning a

533
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: big time football game will simultaneously tell you, but also,

534
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is still a choke artist in big moments.

535
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: They're still overrated even though no one rates them above

536
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Therefore, if they lose to them close, it

537
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: should actually be a feather in their cap. You will

538
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: have some really fantastically stupid conversation. If Notre Dames can

539
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: competitive in this game but then loses, it's as sure

540
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: as the sun rising tomorrow. Why do I know this

541
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 1: because we've seen it happen with them before. So give me,

542
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: give me if I had to take one, give me

543
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: a Notre Name to cover, give me Ohio State to whim.

544
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: That is not a game. The model is moving on,

545
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: by the way. That is not a rama. Noodle express

546
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: play some of you speaking of betting. I have to

547
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: lower my tone a little bit here because this is

548
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: not management sanctioned. They're in bed already. Some of you

549
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: have asked, are we going to do Friday Night Lines again?

550
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: Are we? The answer is yes, we are. Friday Night

551
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 1: Lines does not air on this YouTube channel. It is

552
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: not sanctioned. It's off the record. It's kind of you

553
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: better do that on your own time territory. That is

554
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: where I take our model and I pull it up

555
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: literally on a screen in front of me, and I

556
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: go live on Instagram on Friday night at an unspecified time.

557
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: You just got to be around. I normally give you

558
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: about an hour's heads up and we go live and

559
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: for about twenty minutes, I let you pepper me questions

560
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: about games, and I give you what the model says.

561
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: I let you know if it's a play on, I

562
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: let you know what percentage lean the model is towards

563
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: one side or the other. Again, this is between you

564
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: and I. Management not involved. There is no advertisement on this.

565
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: It is Friday Night Raw. That's kind of what we

566
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: should call it, actually, but I think Friday Night Lines

567
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: is a better name. So be on the lookout. I'll

568
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: be in Faetble this Friday, but I'll post up probably

569
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: in trade Biddy's basement or some wayward street corner up there,

570
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: and we will get Friday night lin ZM. Because I

571
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: know that some of you aren't getting your allowances at

572
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: the appropriate time, so I'm going to take care of

573
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: it if your parents won't. All right, let's continue Utah

574
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: at Florida. This was a close runner up for the

575
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: every given Saturday Tour destination. It's not a runaway for Arkansas.

576
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: We almost went to Florida. We will see Florida at

577
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: some point this year, and maybe even Utah. The outcome

578
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: of this game will have a lot to say about that.

579
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: This is a Saturday seven o'clock Eastern time kickoff on ESPN.

580
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: My advice to trying to adequately prepare themselves for this

581
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: one is, forget the last thing you saw from these

582
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: teams last year. The last thing you saw from Utah

583
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: was Ohio State running track meets on him up and

584
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: down the field. In the Rose Bowl. They had running

585
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: backs playing in the secondary. So forget that that's not

586
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: going to be the case at all. Saturday Night. You

587
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: also saw Florida totally and completely mailing a season in.

588
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: At one point, Samford hung half a hundred on him.

589
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: So forget about last year. Billion Napiers in town. You've

590
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: got help again at Utah. Nothing about what you saw

591
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: at the end of last year will have any impact

592
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: on this game. I'm focused on a couple of areas here.

593
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: The first one, I think both teams may end up

594
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 1: playing this thing pretty similar. For Florida, I asked myself,

595
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: what is BILLI Napier ready to do? And what I

596
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: think he's not ready to do is ask Anthony Richardson

597
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: to throw the ball a whole lot. And that may

598
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: not be their mo throughout the entirety of this season.

599
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: But last year, I think it was Saturday down South

600
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: that I saw put out the stat that Richardson only

601
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: hit double day passes. I think it was three times.

602
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on the stat. I'm telling you he

603
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: didn't throw the ball a whole lot last year. And

604
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that Billy Napier and his staff are

605
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: coming in and saying, well, we'll fix that. You know,

606
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: we're throwing at forty forty five times a game to

607
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: start the season. Does not putting them in the best

608
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 1: position to win, so you already know how Utah's probably

609
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: going about things. I think that'll also be Florida's mo

610
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: in this game. If I had to describe to you,

611
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: having never watched Utah football before, what to expect here,

612
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: I would say, expect a much more talented version of

613
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: what you saw in Northwestern do to Nebraska, and that

614
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: is just sit there and wait on you to hand

615
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: them the game. They'll do what it takes not to

616
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: lose the game. They'll be very physical with you. They

617
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: will not back down an inch, but they know that

618
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: you have them out athleted at certain positions. But that's

619
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: okay because they are tight and you are a much

620
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: looser operation. And they're going to bank on their discipline

621
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: and their four quarter approach to sit there as you

622
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: hand them the game. They got a little more talent

623
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: than Northwestern, but they'll go with that same approach. It's

624
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: work for him. NC State plays a similar way. It's

625
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: work for him. There's no reason to deviate from that.

626
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: So very physical game, very physical. I think a lot's

627
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: going to be made, as it should, about the environment,

628
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: about the swamp, about the weather. I mean, long term

629
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: models show a potential hurricane and the Gulf. So there's

630
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 1: a lot going on here with this game. How does

631
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: Utah flip that condition to their advantage? I there's a

632
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: question for you. I don't think a lot of you

633
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: follow weather like I do. Let me hit you a

634
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: little knowledge. Did you know it's been hotter in Salt

635
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: Lake City than Gainesville about the past two weeks. Please

636
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: don't yell humidity at me. I understand how humidity levels work, guys.

637
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you a little factoid. You can take

638
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: your dry heat or leave it. I'm just letting you

639
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: know it's been upper nineties. It's been approaching one hundred

640
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake So they haven't exactly been working out

641
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: in Jeno, Alaska. They've also been pumping that fake humidity

642
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: as opposed to the real humidity, fake humidity in Salt

643
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: Lake City and their indoor practice facility. You can't replicate

644
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: games with Florida. I know that. You know that Kyle

645
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: Whittingham knows that, or if he doesn't right now, he

646
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: will later this week. How do they flip all that

647
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: to their advantage? You know, if you were to tell

648
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: me that one team's gonna run forty seven plays in

649
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: the first half, and the other one's gonna run twenty three.

650
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't really care where you ran your fall camp anymore.

651
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: The team that ran forty seven plays in the first

652
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: half has the advantage of the rest of the game. Well,

653
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: what if it's Utah, That's my question. What if Utah

654
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden starts moving the chains. What if

655
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: we find out that Florida defense has not come the

656
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: ten miles that we hope it has over the span

657
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: of a few months, and they are a little more

658
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: susceptible upfront, and they haven't earned the right to rush

659
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: the passer on third down because they can't stop Utah

660
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: on early downs. What if you're actually watching this game

661
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: and in the fourth quarter, you're watching Florida cramp, and

662
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: you're watching Florida kind of wilt under that late August

663
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: early September humidity because they've been on the field all night.

664
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: What if that were to happen. There is there's a

665
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: path where Utah actually takes all those conditions that you've

666
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: tried to been you've tried to intimidate them with over

667
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: the past five or six months, and they say, actually,

668
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: we'll take that, thank you, We'll turn it right around

669
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: on you. I would be very leary of that, but

670
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 1: I would also ask how how should I put this?

671
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: How effective will Anthony Richardson be? When we've talked about

672
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: Richardson on this show, I haven't gone with the Cam

673
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: Newton comparison because that would be dumb because Cam Newton's generational.

674
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: But what I have done philosophically is I think that

675
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,239
Speaker 1: staff at Florida knows they have a quarterback there that

676
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: kind of like that Auburn team did with Newton, to

677
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: where they can look at him and say, we can

678
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: actually ask that guy to just go win us a game,

679
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: not just in one facet, We could ask him to

680
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: go win us a game. And I think that's gonna

681
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: happen multiple times this year when they're in one possession

682
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 1: type games, when they're in Bob Bounce of ball type games,

683
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: fifteen can just go win it for you. I think

684
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: they're to be a couple of times this year where

685
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: you're watching the highlight after the game and the only

686
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: explanation is they got fifteen and the other team doesn't.

687
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: Could very well happen Saturday night. So I mean, Anthony,

688
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: it's the most obvious card in the room. But the

689
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson card is one that you really really have

690
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: to watch. So the key in this thing, because of

691
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: the two factors that I'm paying attention to, is first

692
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: down success rate. For Florida, it keeps you on the field.

693
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: For Utah, it keeps you on the field. It moves

694
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: the chains. We all know that, but it is critical,

695
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean beyond critical for Utah to avoid obvious passing

696
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: downs here because the swamp is a very, very real thing.

697
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: We watched Bama go in there last year and struggle

698
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 1: mightily in that environment. It's early season. Everyone's hopes are

699
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: in front of them. I mean it's week one, so

700
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: they'll be fully lathered up to night game. Utah's not

701
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: played anywhere like that. The closest they would have come

702
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: maybe is Oregon. This different level than organ just putting

703
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: it out there, so none of those guys will have

704
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: ever played in an environment like this. And if you

705
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: let it seek its teeth into you, it'll devour you.

706
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: I hope that makes it into hype video. It's one

707
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: of the best unding things I've ever said about Florida.

708
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: It will devour you, though, So if it's third and

709
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: seven on an ordinate amount of the time for cam Rising.

710
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't think things are gonna end well for Utah,

711
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: which leads to the follow up question if Utah is

712
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,479
Speaker 1: able to play their brand evolved the kind of game,

713
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: for instance, that they were able to play against Organ

714
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: twice last year. What are the athletes that Florida has.

715
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: What kind of answer do they have. Let's take a

716
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: look at what the capsule. Let's take a look at

717
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: what the model thinks about this game. The line on

718
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: this one has moved across zero actually in the past

719
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: few months, so right now Caesars has Utah minus two

720
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: and a half. The line came and met our model.

721
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: The model's been on Utah minus two for quite a while.

722
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: Kind of flipped a couple of times today on this one.

723
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: Don't have a strong lean on it either way. I

724
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: ended up going with the model only because I think

725
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: the physicality and experience edges that I think Utah will

726
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: have Saturday will end up decide that game. It's like

727
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: fifty one to forty nine coin flip for me. So

728
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: my pick is you Taw to win and the line

729
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: short enough where I'll pick you Utah to cover. I

730
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: will say this though, if Florida pulls that game out.

731
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: You cannot tip a big enough cap to Billy Napier

732
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: and his staff for getting that done against that staff

733
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: this early in their tenure. And the second thing is

734
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: it would be an extremely bad look for maybe the

735
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: number one team in preseason in the PAC twelve to

736
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: come in and play a team that's not expected to

737
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: factor in in the SEC Eastern Division race and not

738
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: be able to get the job done. It's huge opportunity.

739
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: Utah and Oregon both have huge opportunities for the PAC

740
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: twelve this Saturday, So keep an eye on that one.

741
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone will. It's a night game. I've got

742
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: to post it here. I've got several little little things

743
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: that I need to weave into the show tonight. A

744
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: lot of you have been asking for a chalice of

745
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: supremacy chawli, to put the plural on it. They're not

746
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: for sale. You can only earn one, and we've got

747
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: thirty of them that we're about to ship out to

748
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: people who have earned them through various methods of behavior recently.

749
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: Here is the thing I look for the most. If

750
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: you're doing something that gets the name of this show

751
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: out there into the public, sphere because we don't pay

752
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: for a marketing budget. It's all on you if you

753
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: do that, and you're showing me proof of it. That

754
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: little glass figurey in there, that's a chalice of supremacy.

755
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: Chances are I'm hitting you up, I'm asking you for

756
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: your address, and I'm shipping you one. Now. I can't

757
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: send one to everyone for obvious reasons. But chai of

758
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: supremacy have been ordered. We are stocked, and I'm ready

759
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: to give them away. You guys crashed the college game

760
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: Day set so many times last year that they kicked

761
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: us off of College Game Day. They banned us, so

762
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: as far as I know, the game day ban is

763
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: still in effect. I wouldn't be mad if you tested

764
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: the theory, but I think the game day ban is

765
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: still in effect. Having said that, a lot of you

766
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: are going to be in a lot of very public

767
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: places over the next few months. Get the brand out

768
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: there while you're at it. Thank you so much. We

769
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: will be in Fateville, Arkansas this Saturday. The Every Given

770
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: Saturday Tour is headed in to Razorback Stadium for the

771
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: first time. We've never been there before. Cincinnati versus Arkansas.

772
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: It's really just a cheap excuse to put this very

773
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: sexy graphic up that director Colin generated earlier this afternoon.

774
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: If you don't take this seriously, let me give you

775
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: a piece of advice. Ignore that Cincinnati Bearcat logo and

776
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: just pretend it's LSU or pretend it's Florida. And the

777
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: reason I mentioned those two programs is because in the

778
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: jp Pole preseason ratings, we have LSU twenty fourth, we

779
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: have Florida twenty sixth, and we have Cincinnati sandwich between

780
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: them at twenty five, very similar teams. I think that

781
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: this game would be getting a lot more national attention,

782
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: though if it were LSU going into Razorback Stadium. I

783
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: can't control that. Here's what I can control, what we

784
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: think about the game. This is probably the toughest road

785
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: assignment in the SEC in Week one. I think it's

786
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: even tougher on Cincinnati than Utah going into Gainesville because

787
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: at least takes a seasoned, veteran team in there. Cincinnati

788
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: lost a ton of valuable pieces, not the least of

789
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: which in this scenario includes quarterback Desmond Ritter, a multi

790
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: year starter. If I were taking him in here, I

791
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: feel a lot better. But I'm starting a first year

792
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: guy with a lot of other new pieces. I am outmanned.

793
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: Talent wise. I'm good, but I've got some uncertainty about

794
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: my roster, and I got to go into at this point,

795
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: probably the most underrated game day environment in the SEC.

796
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: It's not getting as just due yet. I think it

797
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: will down the road. RENALDS. Razorback Stadium. Ask Texas how

798
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: that place feels to go into. I think Cincinnati is

799
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: going to experience the same thing this Saturday. You have

800
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: not had hype around Arkansas like this in a long time,

801
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: so they're ready to do their part. I think that

802
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: that matters a lot in this game. I don't think

803
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: there are any two ways about it. I'm going to

804
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: show you what our model thinks in a little while.

805
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: At full disclosure, I don't think our model is fully

806
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: accounting for what home field will mean in this game.

807
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: We don't have a standard home field even stadium by stadium,

808
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: we issue a home field value game by game because

809
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: if al corn State were coming in here and it

810
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 1: was a four o'clock kickoff in the middle of the season,

811
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: they would not get what Cincinnati is about to get

812
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: Saturday at three thirty two thirty Central. So I'm going

813
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: to talk more about that in a second. How does

814
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: this whole kJ Jefferson Kendall Brile's year two in the

815
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: system thing manifests itself? It was one of the most

816
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: popular stats over the summer was Kendall Brow's offensive coordinator

817
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: there at Arkansas, he has never had a returning quarterback

818
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: to work with. Well, all of a sudden, boom, kJ

819
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: Jefferson is back. Kendall brows is back. And what's that

820
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: supposed to mean? You know, it's supposed to suggest that

821
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: they're going to be better, There's going to be more

822
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: that we can expect this year. Well, this is where

823
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: we kind of find that out. And you know what,

824
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: I expect Arkansas gonna be known for running the ball

825
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: again this year. Had the best pass or had the

826
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: best rushing attack in the country last year. They'll be

827
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: right up there again this year. Would not surprise me

828
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: at all if there were a little more aggressive through

829
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: the air early in this game than anyone expects them

830
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: to be. Because one of the key talking points out

831
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: of Arkansas that's been overlooked around the SEC throughout the

832
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: fall camp period has been the emergence of their receiver stable.

833
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: And it's not just hazel Wood. I mean, it's guys

834
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: like Matt Landers, It's guys like Warren Thompson. Keep trying

835
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: to They've got several guys actually that they think they

836
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: can rely on. And if you're serious to me when

837
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: you say you got an oc in a quarterback there

838
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: and there's a lot more I should expect than year two,

839
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: Well I'll see it, and I'll see it against a

840
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: completely retooled secondary in Cincinnati this Saturday. Now, eventually there's

841
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: going to come a time in this game where Arkansas

842
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: settles in and they rely on a bigger, more physical

843
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,479
Speaker 1: offensive line to blow Cincinnati off the ball and take

844
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: over and take all the guestwork out of the game.

845
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: Last year, in that playoff game when Bama faced Cincinnati,

846
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: Bama had the Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback, and yet

847
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: they still ran about forty seven times because they knew

848
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: Arkansas couldn't withstand it for four quarters, or they knew

849
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati couldn't stand it for four quarters. That was, by

850
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: the way, three hundred one yards on the ground, six

851
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry. Why should I expect Arkansas

852
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: not to be able to mirror that if they so

853
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: choose that approach. So a lot of that I think

854
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: will happen. What Cincinnati's response, this is a good team

855
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm selling them short. I'm not. This line's

856
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: under a touchdown and it's at Arkansas. I mean, that

857
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: is an odds maker looking you in the eye and

858
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: telling you if this is on a neutral field, we're

859
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: looking at around a field goal game. Do you believe

860
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: that we've got Arkansas preseason power rated nine, We've got

861
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: sincey twenty five. So we think these two good teams.

862
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: But I think Cincinnati is going to be a team

863
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: that improves throughout the year. But if you look at

864
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: their schedule here, this is the toughest game they'll play

865
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: all season, and then they're going to disappear off your radar.

866
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is they probably won't

867
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: reappear as it relates to the playoff conversation, if they

868
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: lose this game. So you know, I've listened to Wilfong talk.

869
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: He's pretty close to the Cincinnati program. I've listened to

870
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: him talk throughout the summer, and he said, look, they've

871
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: got talent. I mean they've they've recruited very well, they've

872
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: developed very well. It's just the intangibles like any other

873
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: staff would be concerned about, and they just don't know.

874
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: You don't know until you get into a live game situation.

875
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: But can they You know, they've got a really good

876
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: offensive line in their own right now. They're replacing a

877
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: lot of pieces, but don't overlook the fact that they

878
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: bring back pretty much the entire offensive line, and so

879
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: they may be able to go in there. And if

880
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: they start moving the ball on you and they start

881
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: converting third downs at a little bit higher clip than

882
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: you expect early on, that's one recipe. The second part

883
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: of that recipe is you don't know what you're going

884
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: to get at quarterback from them. Now. It's going to

885
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: be an extremely tough environment for either one of those

886
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: kids to operate in, no matter who wins the job.

887
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: But all you knows who they lost. I'm not sitting

888
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: here pretending to be an expert on it either. All

889
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: we knows who they lost. You'll find out Saturday. Who

890
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: they have. College football teaches us. Every single year there's

891
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: some new name that pops on your screen out of nowhere,

892
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: usually in week one or week two, and you're sitting

893
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: there at twelve thirty am, well past your bedtime, and

894
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: you're watching ESPN. You're watching some highlight show, and not

895
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: only are you seeing some guy who's exploded on the

896
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: national scene, then if you're a really hardcore sicco, you

897
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: go to their message board and you're reading quotes from

898
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: insiders and team mods and maybe some coaches, and they

899
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: tell you, hey, kind of expected this. We kept it quiet,

900
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: but we saw this in practice. What if Cincinnati has

901
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: one of those guys, That's all I'm saying. What if

902
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: they have one of those guys. Let's take a look

903
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: what the model things. The model is right in line

904
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: with odds makers, but I had a little manual adjustment here.

905
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: Could be homersm could just be common sense. The Caesar's

906
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: number has Arkansas minus six. That's down from seven. I

907
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: expect some money to come back in on Arkansas, so

908
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: I think that thing may close at a touchdown. So

909
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: if you like the ray, I'd probably jump on six

910
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: right now. Our models at seven and a half. I

911
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: told you I did not think that our model was

912
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: accurately factoring in what home field should be worth in

913
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: this game. So we put another three quarters of a

914
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 1: point on home field. Which doesn't sound like a big deal,

915
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: but trusts me, it is. And so we not only

916
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: lean Arkansas to win the game, we also lean Arkansas

917
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 1: to cover. I think the line was probably a little

918
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: more appropriate at seven. I think that's where it will close.

919
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,479
Speaker 1: But give me Arkansas to win, give me Arkansas to cover.

920
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: I cannot stress enough. Four quarter game. We don't expect

921
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: any kind of blowout here, really really good, solid pushback

922
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati. It's a really formidable Week one opponent. Cincinnati.

923
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: They go on to play the rest of their schedule.

924
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas's got South Carolina in their next week, so there

925
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: are two big games. They do not get any tune ups,

926
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: so they got to be ready. I've told you. And

927
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: there's a link to what I'm about to reference in

928
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: the show description. Let me make sure I put it

929
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: in here. Yeah, there is. So let me say this

930
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: on the front end cancer research, one hundred percent of

931
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: proceeds to cancer research. I'm not pocketing a dime from this,

932
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: otherwise I wouldn't do it. We, and by we, I

933
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: mean the company CBS is auctioning off a thirty minute

934
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: private zoom chat with me where we can pretty much

935
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 1: talk about anything you want to and a one hundred

936
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: percent of the proceeds go to Saint Jude's cancer research

937
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: for children. I didn't really know what to expect from this.

938
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 1: There's still five days left in this thing. By the way,

939
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: someone has driven the bid up to like eight hundred bucks,

940
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: and I now am taking it personal because even though

941
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't get any of this money, I still want

942
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: it to be a lot of money. So Director Colin

943
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: and I were talking before the show. Do we get

944
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: this over a thousand? Does some angel investor come in

945
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: who is just disproportionately fascinated with what I have to

946
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: say for thirty minutes and drive it absurdly out of

947
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: the range of anyone else. Because here's the ugly truth

948
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: of this. I'm not the only one at this company

949
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: who is involved in one of these auctions. But I

950
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: want to be the highest bid on. I want to

951
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: feel like a piece of meat over here. Bid on me,

952
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: even though you know we don't cash the check. It

953
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: goes to Saint Jus, Thank the Lord it does. I

954
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: want to win. I don't want Chip Patterson making more

955
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: on his bid than me. I don't want that, So

956
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: bid bid bid. The links in the description here it's

957
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I'll tweet it out probably a few more

958
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: times this week. We've got five more days. You're welcome

959
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: to everyone but us. Okay, let's get one more preview

960
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: in here. And I before I get into this one,

961
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: I want to remind you we have two more games

962
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: that are on Thursday that I'm not gonna preview on

963
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: the show tonight, So Penn State Purdue and West Virginia

964
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: pitt we're gonna do those on Tuesday. So we'll preview

965
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: both of those Thursday games on Tuesday. I know, formulaically

966
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: that sounds a little backwards. It makes sense. Trust me,

967
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: if you were to look at our greaseport, it makes sense. Okay,

968
00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: Oregon versus Georgia. Where in Atlanta? What in an neutral

969
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: site game? No return trip to Portland scheduled. But yes,

970
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: this is a neutral site game, or so they tell me.

971
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: Georgia is getting that mountaintop view. Finally, for the first time,

972
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: we've got a place in Pine Mountain back in Harris County.

973
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,919
Speaker 1: It's called Mountaintop End. Some of the coldest pool water

974
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,959
Speaker 1: in the world, Callaway Blue, flows through the fountains up there.

975
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest benefits of living in Pine Mountain,

976
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: but that is not where Georgia is. They are figuratively

977
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: at the mountaintop end. They're finally national champs, and they're

978
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: finally getting all the adoration of attention, or are they?

979
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: Because I've told you, for the past few months, I

980
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: feel it's been pretty atypical. There's been so much crap

981
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: going on off the field and outside the realm of

982
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: football in this sport, from nil to conference realignment to

983
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: everything other than who the national champion is that there

984
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: just hasn't been a bright spotlight on Georgia. Even on

985
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: our show, we haven't spoken about them as much as

986
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: I would expect to. And I grew up in Georgia.

987
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: So if you told me, hey, you're gonna have a

988
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: college football show one day and the team from the

989
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: state that you grew up in is gonna win one,

990
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: I would have thought it would have just been a

991
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: red and black love fest for six months. Turns out

992
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: that's not the way it's been, And as a result,

993
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 1: if you're worried about complacency, maybe it's still there. They've

994
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: got a combination of not really having a bunch of

995
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: praise heaped on them and so many new faces that

996
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 1: haven't really earned anything that. I just don't think they've

997
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: got a complacency issue. I could be wrong, and that

998
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they'll win every game this year. But if

999
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: if Georgia falls short of, you know, going to the

1000
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: SEC Championship game or going back to the playoff, I

1001
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: just think it'll be because of football related reasons. I

1002
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: don't really think it'll be because of the whole neck

1003
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: up issue. We'll see, we get to see them take

1004
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: the field of Saturday. What's the selling point for the upset? Here?

1005
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: Big point spread on this game. George is favored by

1006
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half. So when we break these big

1007
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: point spread games down, we ask how would the upset

1008
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,240
Speaker 1: happen if it were to happen, And it's pretty easy

1009
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,959
Speaker 1: to know where an Oregon supporter would go. They would say,

1010
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: we did it last year. We went to Ohio State

1011
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: as a big underdog and we won last year. And

1012
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: that's true, and I won't take that away from you.

1013
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: I think what a detractor would come right back at

1014
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 1: you and say is yeah, but I saw you play

1015
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: Utah twice and they put you on skates both times.

1016
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: You don't think we can do what Utah did. If

1017
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: we're Georgia, you don't think we can match that. And

1018
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: then some So, where does Oregon stand in what we

1019
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: call the non negotiables? Being physical enough against Georgia, being

1020
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: physical enough to just stand up to maybe just stalemate

1021
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: to net a draw on the line of scrimmage, that's

1022
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: a non negotiable because of how many other edges they

1023
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: have against you. That kind of stuff is a non negotiable.

1024
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: And if Oregon doesn't stand in a better position than

1025
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 1: they did against Utah in those games last year, none

1026
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: of the rest of this is relevant, and it'll be

1027
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: over by the half. So let's just assume that they're

1028
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: going to be able to answer in the non negotiable areas.

1029
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: Here's a key, and it's very underrated. I think in

1030
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,919
Speaker 1: this game, Oregon is good along their offensive line. In fact,

1031
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: they've got athletes all over the place. This is an

1032
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: atypical coaching change. A lot of times when coaching changes

1033
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: are happen, you're thinking, all right, well, that means they've

1034
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: got to rebuild one of the best teams Organ's had

1035
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: in quite a while, and the offensive line is one

1036
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: of the reasons for that. It could give Oregon more success,

1037
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: especially against a retool Georgia front, than you think. But

1038
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: here's the follow up to that. This is not a

1039
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: typical retooling, even with all the NFL talent Georgia laws.

1040
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: First off, they rotated a lot of these guys last year.

1041
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 1: And secondly, it's like Alabama. You just see a bunch

1042
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: of new faces the first week or two of every season.

1043
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: And with Alabama, you've trained yourself to just blindly expect

1044
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: them to still be good. I would go ahead and

1045
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: tell you beat the rush, make that assumption about Georgia.

1046
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: Make them prove you wrong by underachieving. Don't be surprised

1047
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: by how good and talented and deep Georgia is at

1048
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: positions like defensive line and linebacker. They're just gonna have them.

1049
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,479
Speaker 1: They're going to have guys. I mean, they've got one,

1050
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: see if you can spot him Saturday. They got one

1051
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: who's probably better and more talented than any defensive player

1052
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: they had last year. You don't even know his name yet.

1053
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: See he's just a little quiz See if you can

1054
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: find out who that is Saturday. But the first of

1055
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: several games is this Saturday, where I think that Georgia

1056
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: tight end room will be too much for someone to match.

1057
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: You don't face anything else like this. You don't face

1058
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: brock Bowers. And then, just for fun, Darnell Washington and

1059
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: Eric Gilbert Oscar delp as a freshman would start for

1060
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of your teams and be a postseason All

1061
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: conference player. And he's running fourth at Georgia in the

1062
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: tight end room. It's the deepest. It's the deepest tight

1063
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: end room I think I've ever seen. And I don't

1064
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: know that anyone will ever replicate this because we're in

1065
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: the transfer portal era. How do you go four deep

1066
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: at tight end in the transfer portal era? Ask Kirby Smart.

1067
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: He figured it out. Let's take a look at the

1068
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: game capsule Georgia minus seventeen and a half in Vegas

1069
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: right now, the game capsule from our model little bit shorter,

1070
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 1: so the model sees this as Georgia and minus sixteen

1071
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: and a half. And by the way, notice how throughout

1072
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: the entire show tonight the model in Vegas have been

1073
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: right in line. Sometimes in week one there's some differentiation,

1074
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: not this year, at least in the games that we

1075
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: chose to select. The cattle prod theory sometimes is in

1076
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: effect in a situation like this. The cattle prod theory

1077
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: when you've got talent like Oregon has, is if you've

1078
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: got a talented team I'm talking about like a bunch

1079
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: of future NFL guys on Oregon's roster, Justin Flow plays

1080
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: for them. Justin Flow had an offer from everyone in America.

1081
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: When you've got the kind of talent they have and

1082
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: you're an underdog, sometimes you can have what we call

1083
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: the cattle prod theory, which is where your talent just

1084
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: surprises someone out of the gate to the point where

1085
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: it stuns them. The reason I don't think that's in

1086
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: effect is because of who Georgia has played, and even

1087
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: though you've got some new guys that will be starter Saturday,

1088
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: the identity of that program is such that they've run

1089
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,720
Speaker 1: up against Alabama so many times. They ran up against

1090
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: Mission again last year, they've run up again. Plus they

1091
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: practice against each other every day. You don't surprise them

1092
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: with talent level. You've got to out execute them. You

1093
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: got to outplay them on the line of scrimmage. You

1094
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: got to be able to run the ball on them.

1095
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: And someone may be able to this year. Will it

1096
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: be Oregon model doesn't think so I lean towards the model,

1097
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: so I'll take Georgia to win with the seventeen and

1098
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: a hook. I would probably lean Oregon and the points,

1099
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,919
Speaker 1: but I don't have a strong feel in that at all,

1100
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: because I mean, if this gets overwhelming, it gets overwhelming

1101
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: in a hurry. I do think Oregon will have a

1102
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: reputable showing here. This is Dan Lanning's first game. You

1103
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: last saw him as the defensive cooridator at Georgia. I

1104
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: think Georgia is going to end up pulling away in

1105
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: this thing. I think the kind of feel afterwards is

1106
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: you come away saying, man, we got a lot to

1107
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: work on. How nice, how first world of a problem

1108
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: it is for us as a Georgia fan to say, boy,

1109
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: We've still got a lot to work on even after

1110
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: this fourteen or sixteen when that's kind of how I

1111
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: feel a little go. But we'll see. I was asking

1112
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: someone or someone asked me the other day what would

1113
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: be the bigger upset Oregon over Georgia or Notre Dame

1114
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: over Ohio State. I said Notre Dame over Ohio State.

1115
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: But I think I'll probably put that out there as

1116
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: a Twitter poll question because the points spreads are pretty similar.

1117
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: I have a feeling we're gonna ask that question and

1118
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a whole bunch of blank and it's

1119
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: not even close casual one oh one. When there is

1120
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: a highly debatable question, the answer is never blank and

1121
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: it's not even close. Okay, So with that in mind,

1122
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 1: nice CRISP show tonight under an hour with multiple game previews.

1123
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: I can't emphasize enough. We feel like this is your

1124
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: your home for college football. There is nothing that's going

1125
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: to happen in this sport that you will not get here.

1126
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: We've already given out, for example, four best bets for

1127
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: week one. I will reiterate that on Tuesday's show. For

1128
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 1: you guys, we've got Friday Night lines coming up. Make

1129
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 1: sure you're following on Instagram because also another little added

1130
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: tidbit on Instagram, to the point where if you're not

1131
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: on there, I would get an account just to follow

1132
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: this is I take this bad boy right here. Looks

1133
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: like an iPhone, but it's actually an eye Josh. I

1134
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: take this thing on Saturdays and I'll be on the

1135
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: field for every game I go to. That means I

1136
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: get access. You guys don't get but you do get

1137
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: it because I show it to you through this. So

1138
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: on an average Saturday, if you're following me on the Gram,

1139
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: you'll probably see like twenty to twenty five stories from

1140
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: me that show you all sorts of things you otherwise

1141
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't get to see because we get a lot of access.

1142
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: They're very kind to us on the road, and so

1143
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: that'll start this Saturday. So if you want to really

1144
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: take a full tour, if you want to really fully

1145
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 1: be immersed in what we get to see on the road,

1146
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: I would highly advise you following on Instagram at Late

1147
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: Kick Josh, same thing on Twitter at Late Kick Josh.

1148
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, guys. And guess who else we have to think?

1149
00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: Tonight director Colin as always, but producer Jesse abandoned us

1150
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: in our hour of need to go to a wedding.

1151
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm told he'll be back Tuesday. Who knows at this point,

1152
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: but former production executive. But tonight just outright producer Christopher

1153
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: or as we call him around the office, Belchie. He

1154
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: got the job done tonight, So you know what, good
