Sure, so that's a good sign. 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's about to like rain and 27 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: be disgusting.

We started it 41 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: to release last year for signing day right correct. 42 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: On and off, on and off span of a year. 43 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: I would I would say a lot of what we 44 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: do because people seem to like the minutia. I know 45 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: I do when hearing about what you put into the show. 46 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: A lot of it is like, oh man, we made it, 47 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: and then we're like, I don't know if I like it, 48 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: let's start again. Yeah, And that's that's like how it 49 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: gets better eventually. And I was a fan of where 50 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: we were with it last year. I really like how 51 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: it came out this year. 52 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: We tore it apart. Yeah, four or five weeks ago, 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: tore the whole dumping the lab. Yeah, tour the whole 54 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: thing apart, reconstructed it in a different image, and I 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: think it turned out better. So we're excited about it. 56 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: A lot of folks who have responded are excited about 57 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: it as well. If you haven't had a chance to listen, 58 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: please go out and do so. The other thing that 59 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: I'll mention then, I guess on the heels of that 60 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: is that since it is end of month, what we're 61 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: trying to do end of each month, at least for 62 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future is a Q and A show. This 63 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: is true, Collect all of the questions that come in, 64 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: and then let's record. Let's answer simple. Yeah. 65 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: I was thinking about this earlier. Did we start our show? 66 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: It was either pre Twitter or just when Twitter was 67 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: starting out, because our sound and I don't think you 68 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: have the soundboard in front of you. Our sound was 69 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: like you've got mail, because it was you know, people 70 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: sending emails soliverblegmail dot com. And that's how we would retrieve. 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: We still get a ton of email and we try 72 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: to answer it. But this is largely what Twitter and 73 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: Facebook Twitter. 74 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: Facebook. Yeah. 75 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 2: The next I think the next one we do will 76 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: be what end of March and that I think we're 77 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: going to do reddit only. 78 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: How about that? It sounds good to me. 79 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: I like, we'll go to the I mean, the soliverbal 80 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: subreddit is outstanding, so we'll do that. 81 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Congratulations, Skippy, you've got mail. You've got mail on the 82 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: solid verbal All right. Well, on that note, Dan, let's 83 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: do our best to pay homage to those folks who 84 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: wrote in via whatever channel they so desired, be it social, 85 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: be it via email. Got a whole slew of them here. 86 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: We want to do our best to try and address 87 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: them in kind. So, Daniel, if you could reach deep 88 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: into that into that pot oh look of questions here 89 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: and pull out pull out a good one for us. 90 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: All right, let's start at the top. This is from 91 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: Benjamin Most Intriguing Conference top to bottom next year. 92 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: Ooh, so. 93 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: I like how he phrased this, because best or worst 94 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: conference doesn't really tell a complete story. It's largely subjective, 95 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: as is intriguing. But intriguing is also nice because I 96 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: think we can better define that, right, Sure, of course 97 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 2: we can better define the subjective nature of that word. 98 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: So to me, intriguing is a weird stew Aboolia base, 99 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: if you will, of coaching intrigue, quarterback intrigue, and attrition intrigue. 100 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: So like, oh my god, they lost their entire offense. 101 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 2: Oh my god, they lost their entire coaching staff. And 102 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: to me, if his phrasing is top to bottom, it's 103 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: probably the sec because I feel like that's where the 104 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: Bulia base is in terms of intrigue with new coaches. 105 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: And you have a quarterback who came in the second 106 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: half and win the national championship. You have you know, 107 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 2: a Heisman candidate Jarrett Stidham, we have a what is 108 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 2: Florida's offense going to look like they're going to start 109 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: a cheue freshmen with a new coach. 110 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: Whatever. 111 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: But if the question we're top to middle, my answer 112 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: is the Big ten, okay, because the Big Ten to 113 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: me has more wildcard fun with Purdue and Nebraska in 114 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: sky that middle section in the court. 115 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Will all right, bringing your fastball here. 116 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the ACC isn't doing it for me as much. 117 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: The Pac twelve seems too similar and questionable, and I 118 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 2: think it'll still be fun. The Big twelve feels like 119 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: it hasn't changed all that much. It's just sort of like, 120 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: what is he going to do in year two? Tom 121 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: Herman and Lincoln Riley. So that's my answer, what do 122 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 2: you say? 123 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: My answer is actually the PAC twelve really why? And 124 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: perhaps it's just a matter of semantics and a matter 125 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: of definition around the word intriguing. And yeah, furthermore, the 126 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: definition of intriguing in a college football sense, what does 127 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: it mean to you? For me, intriguing is questionable? What 128 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: is the most questionable? That's what I find intriguing. And look, 129 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: you could always make the case for the SEC being intriguing. 130 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: There's not a season that we've done this show that 131 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: I haven't thought about the SEC in some intriguing way. 132 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: I'm always intrigued by it, and I think the same 133 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: holds true for the Big Ten. Certainly the Big Ten 134 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: now as we've had a team like a Penn State 135 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:11,119 Speaker 1: really rise up under James Franklin. New coaches abound in 136 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: the Big Ten. That makes it an intriguing conference. That 137 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: was the case last year as well the PAC twelve. 138 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: Though I have no idea which direction the PAC twelve 139 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: is headed, because USC without Sam Darnold could go one 140 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: of a hundred different directions. Arizona fired their coach like 141 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, something crazy like that. Arizona State, We're 142 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: not sure their coach knows what's going on. Oregon had 143 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: to scramble and find a new coach at the Gun 144 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: yet again. Yeah, and oh, by the way, Charles chip Kelly, 145 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: coming back to the college game down there at UCLA. 146 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: There are a lot of variables in the PAC twelve 147 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: that to me, I don't know which direction it's headed, 148 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: and that makes it really intriguing from top to bottom 149 00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: for me. 150 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: So are you intrigued by the bottom of the PAC twelve? 151 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: Like the Oregon State, cal Colorado you know you can. 152 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: I guess put Utah even though they were the only 153 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: I believe PAC twelve team to win a ball game. Yeah, 154 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: if the night or what is it, the day is 155 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: darkest before dawn whatever that phrasing is eleven of twelve 156 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: PAC twelve teams finish the season with a loss, so 157 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: it's certainly not looking great. The South should be wide open. 158 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: Ish. 159 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: You can make a case for probably three teams, yeah, 160 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: pretty evenly winning that division in USC, Arizona and UCLA, 161 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: actually three and a half of Utah. 162 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: I have the least amount of certainty about the PAC twelve. 163 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: There are more variables to me in the PAC twelve 164 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: than any other conference. And that's what makes it intriguing 165 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,599 Speaker 1: top to bottom. So you get you get hot and 166 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: bothered by that. That's right, the mystery extremely Yeah, I'm 167 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: Dan seduced, Okay, I can appreciate that and the ACC. 168 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: The only reason I don't lump in the ACC with 169 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: the others is outside. I mean, listen, Miami and Virginia 170 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: Tech and Clemson and Florida State all have intriguing things 171 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: about them to me. It's not even like top to bottom. 172 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: It's more top and bottom are interesting to me. The 173 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: middle class of the ACC right now, Virginia, Pitt, Louisville, 174 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: I guess, BC, and Wake I don't see. There's not 175 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: a huge mystery fact, Dan, I feel like you could 176 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: have a template saved on your computer. Oh, Yeah, with 177 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: that statement tier ACC team dot doc X, and you 178 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: could pretty much apply that to about eight teams in 179 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: the middle. 180 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: I'm with you, ty So. And by the way, low 181 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: key on that, the AAC is going to be really 182 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: intriguing next year. Okay, all right, the American is going 183 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: to be real nice because I think Memphis returns a 184 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: good amount. You still have UCF with the talent from 185 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: last year. I think Jeff Collins improves Temple next year. 186 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: Navy's always going to be fun. Like I think that 187 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: is going to be not not underrated, but just consistently 188 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: rated as fun and deep. 189 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: How about that fun and deep moving, fun and deep 190 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: before we going next, let's go too Oh, I like this. 191 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: This was a big thing this week. I think it 192 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 2: was Dennis Dodd from CBS who wrote about it. Maybe 193 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: I'm wrong, I don't know, but beef Mick large huge. 194 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: Is that a real name? That's that's probably family name. Yeah, okay, in. 195 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: Your opinion, what is the reason? And I will parenthetically 196 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 2: add reasons for the decline in attendance at college football games? 197 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: So what did Dennis Dodd go with? Kids care about 198 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: their phones and there's not enough bandwidth. Kids, these days. Ty. 199 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 2: Okay, by the way, thank you for listening to the 200 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: show on your phone. Weir Yeah, grateful. Yeah, that's that's 201 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 2: not the approach I would take. It's certainly one interpretation. 202 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: I think that part of the reason why is because 203 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the home experience is so damn enjoyable. I think it's 204 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: part of it. Sometimes the easiest answer and the best 205 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: answer is the most straightforward joy as a college football 206 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: fan infinitely more watching the game from the comfort of 207 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: my couch on my HD television, not having to fight 208 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: off crowds of one hundred thousand to watch a football game. 209 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: I would pause it this, Ty, I think you're completely right. 210 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: I My question. 211 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: Is, is going to a football game and forget about traffic, 212 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: forget about you know, cleaning up and setting up tailgating. 213 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: Forget about like parking and the pain and the ass 214 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: of you know, oh, I got to park on this 215 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: shady dude's lawn because it's eight hundred dollars to park 216 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: for whatever. Forget about all of that. It's football fun 217 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: to watch in person, Like is it a sport built 218 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 2: for an in person experience? 219 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: It's built more for an in person experience than baseball. 220 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: But I can tell you that the commercial breaks during 221 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: a football game, particularly an NFL game. If you've ever 222 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: been to one of those, yeah, that aspect of it 223 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: is very much a kill joy when you're in the stands, 224 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: and at least if you're at home, you can find 225 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: things to do. You can check Twitter, you can like 226 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: go to the bath, move your bowels, yeah, or same page. 227 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: You have options when the game goes to commercial break 228 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: that you don't have if you're actually there in attendance. 229 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: I would almost push back, and I know this is 230 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 2: going to be sacrilege on a college football show. I 231 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: may like going to baseball games, and I'm not even 232 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: a huge baseball fan. I think there's something a little 233 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 2: more honest, like Baseball's like, yeah, we're slow, just chill out, 234 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: look at the grass. We walk to you with the 235 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 2: food and the beverages. Okay, there's something that is a 236 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: very entertaining screen saver where it never really gets high 237 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: impact and exciting, and football is like hig impact exciting stop, Hi, 238 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: you packed exciting, stop? And that I think is the 239 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: bigger issue. Or football just might not be a great 240 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: in person sport. It's better with everything filled in by TV. 241 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 2: That also said, if I were paid to improve the 242 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 2: in person experience. I mean, you know what I'm gonna say. 243 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: I want more comfortable seating. Yeah, and I want better 244 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: cheaper food. You can't just serve me boiled hot dogs 245 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: and dry burgers. 246 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: You just can't. 247 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: And I know, I think it's the New Falcons Stadium, 248 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: where the National Championship also was this year, Mercedes Benz. 249 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 2: I think they have a bunch of local vendors, the 250 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets not too far from where I am broadcasting 251 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: this very show. They have a local sausage place, local 252 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: Mexican like there is something that's pretty familiar and exciting 253 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 2: of like, oh, you can also eat and consume well 254 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: while you're there, and that I don't think is the 255 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: case of a lot of these schools. 256 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: Tickets are also really expensive. They are, and we are 257 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: very much in an age where it's easier now than 258 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: ever to be very cost conscious and do a line 259 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: item on everything you pay out in the span of 260 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: a month, and you can be the biggest fan in 261 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: the world. Never go to a game. You don't have 262 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: to anymore because the coverage is there. You can watch 263 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: whatever you want. 264 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: All that said, the ceiling is still higher you're in 265 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: the stadium for something incredible for your team, a huge upset, 266 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: a huge play, whatever the communal experience of that untouchable. 267 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: I don't begrudge anyone who chooses to go to the gy. Yeah, 268 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to, as you said, posit a theory 269 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: as to why more people don't fair. All right, where 270 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: are we going next? 271 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: Colin wants to know. Combination of questions. One does it 272 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: get hard to be quote impartial? I use quotes because 273 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: of Ty's blaytant disracespec so blaytant Yeah of Michigan State 274 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: this past season, he says, MSU, So maybe it's Mississippi State. 275 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: I don't sure. Two least favorite team or fan base. 276 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: I have an interesting answer to this, God, here we go. Yeah, 277 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: please buckle up for starters. Part of I think the 278 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: charm of what we do is that we never try 279 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: to mask our rooting allegiances, like you're an Oregon grad, 280 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: you're an Oregon fan yep. And I don't think in 281 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: any case we're gushing over the teams that we root for. 282 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: If anything, it's more bitching and moaning, right, exactly what 283 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: you're root for? Yeah, exactly? 284 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: But we don't hide the fact that we have some 285 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: rooting allegiance, so that that part is I think just 286 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: that we're authentic. What I'll say is it actually gets 287 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: easier to be impartial the longer you do this, because 288 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: you reach a point where, in order to cover it 289 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: the way we cover it, you have to imbibe so 290 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: much college football all the time, and some of that 291 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: raw emotion gets boiled off just just as part of 292 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: the natural machinations of what we do. 293 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: My least favorite team or fan base, my least favorite 294 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: team is any team who is boring, because for a 295 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: living I talk about this and I want weird and 296 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: exciting and fun and creative and so and that will 297 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: very year to year the boringness, quotion or whatever of 298 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: a team. So that really is everything to me. It's 299 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: if do you play slow? Are you throwing well short 300 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: of sticks on third and four? Are you punting from 301 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: your opponents thirty nine like I That to me, that 302 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 2: is tough to be impartial. A by like, well, this 303 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: is how they're thinking in defense of that mo Mel 304 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: That is garbage, and that is who I root against. 305 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: Anybody that is playing conservatively and for field position that 306 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: is extremely boring. And soft, So that is who I 307 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: do not like. 308 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: I definitely do not have a specific team right or 309 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: fan base that is my least favorite. To answer part 310 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: two of Collin's question, there is not one team, There 311 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: is not one base that I detest more than any other. 312 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: One thing that we get though pretty frequently, that in 313 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: my estimation, means we're doing it correctly. Yeah, there are 314 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: multiple teams and multiple fan bases who believe in earnest 315 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: that we are the least favorite. And that tells me 316 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: that we're spreading around the hate just rout about the 317 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: right amount, and the fact that there are more than 318 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: one out there that that to me says we're doing 319 00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: something right. 320 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: I should say, after we hit stop when we record, 321 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: we just bitch about Michigan all the time. It's all 322 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 2: all the time. Kevin Wade, our pal wants to know. 323 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 2: Would you rather your team win a college football championship 324 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: but then move to the FCS level? Oh okay, so 325 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: a demotion of relegation or against you good? Or go 326 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: into every season knowing you'll never get above second place 327 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: in your conference. And I say that with a defending champion, 328 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: I think coming in third place in their conference, right, 329 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 2: if that makes sense, So okay, what is it? Would 330 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 2: you rather have a ceiling or a hard success and 331 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: a hard floor. 332 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: There is nothing more frustrating than that glass ceiling. Okay, 333 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: there is nothing more frustrating than knowing at the start 334 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: of a season you can't get above second place. And 335 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: I think in large part that's why every program outside 336 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: Alabama and the SEC has changed coaches in the span 337 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: that he's been at Bama, right, Because on some level 338 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: everyone's felt that that that ceiling. Man, you can't get 339 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: past Alabama. So no, I don't want to be in 340 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: that position. It drives people crazy. I'd much rather win 341 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: and then get relegated. We'll play in the Big Sky 342 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: for the next fifteen years, but at least you'll always 343 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: have that championship moment where you got to hold up 344 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: the trophy standing next to our boy Grandpa Bill Hancock. 345 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: I disagree. I haven't said that in a while. It 346 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: would be miserable. 347 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 2: You wouldn't be able to watch your team if they 348 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 2: were an FCS team, depending on where you lived, you'd 349 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 2: have to watch it on like ESPN three, watch it 350 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 2: on the Stadium network, right, which looks good. I think 351 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 2: our pel Jeff Schwartz does stuff for them, Christ and 352 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: BALBONI all sorts of good people. But it would it 353 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 2: would kind of be boring to go for rooting every 354 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: year for an FBS team to an FCS team. I 355 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: think competition. I mean, if it's the same team, if 356 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: Notre Dame won a national championship and then was in 357 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 2: the Big Sky, they would still attract a lot of 358 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: talent and people. Game people love the Patriot League Lightning 359 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: Round on this show. 360 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: I know they do. 361 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 2: I guess would that make the most sense FCS conference 362 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: wise for Notre Dame. 363 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: I don't know. 364 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: It might be, yeah, let's got some Notre Dame Mount 365 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: Union action. I think they're like D three. That'd be wonderful. 366 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: Shout out Wisconsin, Whitewater. No, I would take second place 367 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: because one, you can still get to the national championship 368 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 2: coming in second place in your conference with the playoff. 369 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 2: And two, I've said this before, I don't know that 370 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: it is in an era where everything is so weighted 371 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: towards the top and the teams that have the most 372 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 2: money and the geographic advantages that if you have a 373 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 2: fun season where you beat two of your rivals, that's 374 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 2: that feels like a success. And you know, with the 375 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 2: way everything is, I would take that more often than not. 376 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 2: And coming in second place in your conference, and I 377 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: know it's not it's a ceiling of second place. It 378 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 2: still means you're making a conference championship game every so often. 379 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 2: I think I'm going with that. I'm still going with 380 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: the excitement. Huh playing FB. I just I don't want 381 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 2: to watch FCS football every week. 382 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: Wow. And I not fired. 383 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 2: I apologize, but I'm saying I don't want to watch 384 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: FCS football if I've grown accustomed, you know, like when 385 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 2: you see the divorce proceedings, like, well, she's grown or 386 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 2: he's grown a custom of a certain lifestyle. 387 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: We're talking college football alimony here. 388 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: At college football alimony. That's exactly right. And I have 389 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle and I am not 390 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: willing to go back. 391 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Mason. Max More rites in 392 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: and he says, since Bill Connolly is the world's biggest 393 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: New Mexico State fan, can you guys take the mantle 394 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: of being big Utah State fans? What up? Bags? Or 395 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: maybe one of you could take Texas A and M 396 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: and each of you could have your own Aggie allegiance. Uh, 397 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: this isn't so much a question as it is a proposal. 398 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: And since it is the end of February, Mason, you're 399 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: on the board early. We can consider this as the 400 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: year moves on. I'm open to being an Aggie faithful 401 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: of some kind timely question.

I assume he has just gotten medical 404 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: red shirts and perpetuity. I apologize if CHUCKI. Keaton is 405 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: dead or. 406 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: Found the flower pot and there's traveling back in time 407 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: to continue playing college football. 408 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I could be a textas ay 409 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: and m Fan. I just I don't think it mesh 410 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 2: as well with my person. 411 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: It's an exciting new era, though, with Jimbo Fisher Dan. 412 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 2: I suppose nothing like getting on board with a coach 413 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 2: whose last fan base hated him for playing slowly right 414 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 2: after I decried teams who play slowly.

Have you gone wine tasting before? 432 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: I have? Yeah? I did it in Canada, Canadian wine tasting. 433 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: I did a Canadian wine tasting in Niagara, Niagara Falls. 434 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: Oh so, just on the other side of the border, 435 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: just on the other side of the border. How was it? 436 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: It was great. It was cold, we went and it 437 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: was freezing, but it was it was a cool experience. 438 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: Is my first time doing that? Solid wife Kate, She's 439 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: been other places, cool, cooler places and done the whole 440 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: wine tasting thing. But I enjoyed it. Yeah. 441 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: Did you were able to pull apart notes for full 442 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: party canted SIPs. 443 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: Oh god, No, I have no idea what I'm doing. No, 444 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: I just I just sort of drink it for sport. Dan, 445 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: I'm not really into the whole tasting thing. 446 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: I don't drink wine all that often. I do like 447 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 2: swishing it around, taking a sip, and I will say subtle. 448 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: I have a theory that most people at wine tastings 449 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: have no idea what they're doing, but like to be 450 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: seen as if they do well. 451 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: The Michael Scott line was, ooh, it's a nutty after birth, right, 452 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: it's great? Next question? But bah, I may oh Michael 453 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: is a mid forties Oregon State Beavers fan. 454 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: Oh boy, it's been a long, trite, miserable life for 455 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: that man. 456 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 2: Okay, was two thousand and one, the two thousand and 457 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: one festival. Ty your memories, I remember it well, the 458 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 2: best it's going to get in my lifetime? Or is 459 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 2: there something better out there? I mean there's friendship and love, sure, hobbies, travel, Yes, 460 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 2: there's also lots of better things out there than being 461 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 2: an Oregon State fan. Is their hope for a mid 462 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: forties Oregon State Beaver span? And I would also add 463 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 2: like teams that are Oregon State, but not Oregon States. 464 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 2: So across college football teams that have had brief runs 465 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 2: of success but kind of have the deck stacked against them. 466 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I for Michael here specifically, I'm going to say 467 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: that was probably the pinnacle Chad Johnson, TJ. Hushmanzada if 468 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: he's in his mid forties. Now realistically, now let's talk life. 469 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,719 Speaker 1: Let's talk lifespan in the continue. 470 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: What is the average male lifespan in the United States 471 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: of America. It's it's fallen fast h eighty one, okay, 472 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: average American male lifespan okay, seventy. 473 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: Eight point seven. Okay. So there's not nearly enough time 474 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: for them to build up a program. So he's got 475 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: what thirty three years if he's mid forties, let's say 476 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: forty five, just to keep it nice. And since he's 477 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: on the back nine tie, he's on the back nine Dan. 478 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: So could they conceivably build up a program in thirty 479 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: years at Oregon State. 480 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: To that eclipses dominant BCS group of whatever? Yeah, New 481 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: Year's how long did it take Boise. 482 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: State to get to a point where we feel pretty 483 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: good about their consistency? Twenty years? Not in a power five. Though, 484 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: if we use Boise State as an example, even though 485 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: they're not Power five, how many it was it. 486 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: Wasn't twenty it was you know it was you had 487 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 2: Dirt Hutter, you had Chris Peterson, you had Dan Hawkins. 488 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: How long it was ten to twelve, eight, ten something 489 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 2: in there, I say, pick a different team. Oh man, 490 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 2: he's going to die before they eclipse that. 491 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: It's going to be rough. 492 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 2: Eclipsing that in twenty eighteen to twenty thirties is just 493 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 2: with the investment of Oregon and Washington Stanford in that division, 494 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: it's going to be a situation has to be a 495 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: situation of getting extraordinarily lucky with quarterback recruiting and keeping 496 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 2: a quarterback and sort of finding a season in which 497 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 2: everywhere every position on the two deep is juniors and 498 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 2: seniors is upperclassmen. That's the best, and that have all 499 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 2: developed and worked out. Here's my question back to Michael. 500 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 2: Not impossible, not impossible, but I think he's more likely 501 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 2: to pass on to the afterlife. With the Fiesta Bowl 502 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 2: in two thousand and one being the pinnacle of his fandom. 503 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: My question back to Michael is, now that we have 504 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 2: proven that much out, will he pick a different team. 505 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: Will he play his college football fandom? 506 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: Like people try to play the stock market and sell 507 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: high and now try to buy low on somebody else. 508 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: You know what he could do. He's right there. 509 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 2: If he is in Central organ or Vicinity, that's wine country, 510 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 2: tie olam At Valley. 511 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: That's going to be the new wine country because it's 512 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: getting warmer. That's what I'm told by the wine nerve. 513 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: Yeah really, yeah. 514 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 2: Okay, I've had good wine from the Lamont Valley. 515 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: Here you go. What's good? 516 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: You and your Bob Mundabo. Yeah, this comes frost from Adam. 517 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 2: We have we've received a version of this question before. 518 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: Certain programs and fans seem to be alike despite being 519 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: far apart. For example, the play style, drinking habits, statues, 520 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: excuse me, status of Alice in Wisconsin nearly the same. 521 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: So they are a match? Who are and they played? 522 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: Who are the matches for your schools? Notre Dame, Penn 523 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: State and Oregon. Ooh so stylistically, so we'll start with 524 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 2: Notre Dame. 525 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it feels Michigan. I was gonna say Michigan. 526 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: It's Michigan. Yeah, it's one hundred percent Michigan. Tradition Midwest, 527 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, angry coach. Now. The only thing I don't 528 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: know about Michigan fans, and maybe you can help because 529 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: you're married to one, I don't know the drinking habits 530 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: of Michigan folk. 531 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: It's a Midwest, big ten school, big Greek situation. 532 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: My impression of Notre Dame, after tailgateting there a number 533 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: of times and going to more Notre Dame games than 534 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: I can count, is that it was much more of 535 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: a wine and cheese crowd. There's an element of that 536 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: with Michigan. Absolutely. If you could meld maybe like Virginia 537 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: with Michigan, that would probably be the perfect match for 538 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. 539 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: I would all I mean, I think the overlap is also, yeah, 540 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: Virginia and Notre Dame, Stanford and Notre Dame is not 541 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: terribly far off the kind of academics. But the thing 542 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: that I think Notre Dame and Michigan also have is 543 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: they recruit students, not football players, but also football players nationally. 544 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: So my wife is from Chicago. She's not local too 545 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 2: in Michigan, but that is, you know, regionally local. But 546 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: I knew a lot of kids from Calbasa's High went 547 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: to Michigan. A lot of like Long Island, New York, 548 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 2: New Jersey, Michigan. So same for Notre Dame with just 549 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: like point to better GPAs anything for Penn State. Penn 550 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: State's Ohio State isolated tradition, creative now. 551 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: On the field, obnoxious sometimes as a fan base. Sometimes 552 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: sometimes I'm gonna have to I have to play koy here. Okay, 553 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull up pen Live comments real quick. I 554 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: think it's a bio state. 555 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, but give me something out of the region. 556 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: Florida State. 557 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 2: Oh, that's not bad. I mean you had the long, long, 558 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 2: long time coaches. That's still a looming shadow in a 559 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 2: number of ways. Right, yep, another obnoxious quality. Sometimes you've got, 560 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: you know, big enthusiastic recruiters. Yet to see the success 561 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 2: for Willie Taggert. Okay, I think that's pretty good Penn 562 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: State in Florida State. 563 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: What about Oregon? 564 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 2: Oregon is off the beaten path a little in the region. 565 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: You know, there's another school that traditionally has done better, 566 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: but they've been the up and comer, although now it's 567 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: sort of back and forth. Oklahoma State TCU. I don't 568 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 2: know if there's a team in the Big ten acc 569 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 2: a little Virginia Tech ish okay, where there's there's a 570 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: very specific brand and even though it's different at Virginia Tech, 571 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 2: Virginia Tech is definitely isolated, you know. It's that that 572 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: defensive brand, and I think it's very similar in the 573 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 2: Oregon spread offense and like the quarters whatever defense that 574 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 2: Bud Foster lunch Poilu they play in Blacksburg. I think 575 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 2: that that feels like a little bit of a comparison. 576 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: And there's probably a comparison in Boise State as well, 577 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: just because they're sort of the newcomer, one of the newcomers, 578 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: flashy in their own right because they are a newcomer. Yeah, 579 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: we want to address some non football questions.

Sure, I've never beaten him 669 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: more than like one game here, one game there. I 670 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever actually taken a set. It's 671 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: not that I'm unathletic, Dan, I suck at tennis, so 672 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: I am. I am very interested in the answer to 673 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: this question here as Braiden is is, well, how do 674 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: you get good at tennis? What is the one thing 675 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: you should work on? Honestly, like it's reps, You have 676 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: to hit a lot of balls. But if you have 677 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: an awesome serve and I wouldn't say speed, if you can, 678 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: and I'm sure you can look this up on YouTube, 679 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: but you do have to go out and practice it. 680 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: If you can develop a good kick serve which you 681 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: have to put in the time, it bounces the wrong 682 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: way and it jumps real high up and if you 683 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: are playing somebody right handed, it will kick to their backhand, 684 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: which is generally the weaker side. That's my most genuine answer. 685 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: The easier answer is you have to get in their 686 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: head because tennis is a mental game, and so I 687 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: would assume most people who play tennis recreational are just 688 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: as everybody is, and not in amazing shape. You run 689 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: them back and forth, you drop shot them a little bit, 690 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: and it's just wearing them out mentally as well as 691 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: physically saying things like I'm and this is stuff I 692 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: tell to my mom to tell her opponents. 693 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 2: I tweet about my mom's tennis. Sometimes it's ridiculous. She 694 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 2: gets in everybody's head because she plays a very like 695 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 2: she's the Tim Wakefield of senior women's tennis players in 696 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 2: southern California. A lot of slice and weird curving. But 697 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: it's sort of like saying, and I don't think she 698 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 2: does this, like why you move really well for your side? 699 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: Stuff like that is I can't see your mom saying that, 700 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: no trying ever met in my life. 701 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, she she refuses, but I try to get in. 702 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: But what you're saying is that she plays her style 703 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 1: of tennis is my style of of ping pong? 704 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would, I would. Yeah, it's consistency, it's she 705 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 2: slices off of both sides. But I would say, learn 706 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 2: a really good drop shot. It's cheap as hell. But 707 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 2: if you're playing to win and it's not purely social, 708 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta. 709 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: Pull out everything. That's what I'm saying. Pull it all out, 710 00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: all right, pull it all out. 711 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 2: Let's go to John, what's the dumbest thing you've spent 712 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 2: money on recently?

I don't think she's ever used it, 762 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, you know, this would be 763 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: really good when when I'm traveling, I can see if 764 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to be over the limit or I've really 765 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: only ever been over the limit one time in my life, 766 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: and that might have been my honeymoon. Most of the time, 767 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: I don't have enough stuff that I can pack in 768 00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 1: there to go over, like the fifty pound limit. I 769 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: spent seven ninety nine.

Yeah, all right, there you go. 774 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 2: I hope that answers your question. That is a ridiculous item. 775 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't know what existed. 776 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: Oh. 777 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 2: I like this question a whole bunch. Even though we 778 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 2: discourage these types of questions, I'm gonna roll with it 779 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 2: for this show. 780 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: Is a coach question. 781 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 2: Which Big five conference or Power five? Yeah, Power five 782 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 2: conference coach could eat the most hot dogs in one sitting. 783 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: Oooh. 784 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 2: Now, if you're listening, I assume your brain is going 785 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 2: to go to who seems like the biggest eater who 786 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 2: seems like it's. 787 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: Going to go to like Brett Beelmo or Mike Leach 788 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: or somebody not active. 789 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 2: Right, Mike Leach is the other that's the second biggest 790 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 2: coach you could come up with. 791 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no. I'm just saying it's going to 792 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: go to somebody like that. See that's where I diverged. Hy. 793 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 2: If you know anything about competitive eating, it's the small 794 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 2: It's about the expansion possibilities. Okay, the Black Widow Kobayashi. 795 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 2: They're small, but they can expand. And I think being 796 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 2: in good shape helps that. I don't know if the 797 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 2: muscle prevents expansion. If it doesn't, the answer is Larry Fedora. 798 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 2: He has the best yeah, right, the best core in 799 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,720 Speaker 2: college football. I was going to say Tom Herman because 800 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 2: as we know from interviewing him, and if you've done 801 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 2: any research on Tom Herman, Tom Herman is a is 802 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 2: a Mensa Society member, and so my sense is that 803 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 2: he would figure out a way to cut corners, a 804 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 2: specific way to dip the bread in the water and 805 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 2: eat his hot dogs maybe two, two and a half 806 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 2: at a time, in order to game the system. And 807 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 2: he's also in that in that slider vein right, like, right, 808 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 2: he's not going to be the biggest guy in the world, 809 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 2: but he's yeah, you know, he's kind of an average build. 810 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 2: Herb's pretty slim. M her Edwards. 811 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: Her Edwards though, would see some sort of like meta 812 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: properties in the hot dogs and wouldn't eat him he 813 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: talk about them. 814 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 2: Right, Okay, I'm trying to think, man, I'm looking across 815 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 2: the conferences. Hmmm, Brian Harrison pretty pretty trim. Oh he's 816 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 2: not power five. I'm gonna go Larry Fedora. You know what, 817 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by. 818 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: Ty. 819 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 2: This is gonna sound very strange.

It could be It 825 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: really could well could be. 826 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 2: Man, this is good tweet us who you think is 827 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 2: the most skinny fat or strong fat coach, because there's 828 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 2: like the fat pack thing as well, but I think 829 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 2: skinny fat is more interesting. All right, next question, Let's 830 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 2: stick with the herr edwords. 831 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: Thing. 832 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 2: Will I ask you ever ful Phillips decades long sleeping 833 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 2: giant label that comes to us from Brian. And if 834 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 2: I'm interpreting this correctly, it's that ASU is fun place 835 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 2: to go. So should it tract, you know, quality football 836 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 2: players just because people are going to fun places. It's 837 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 2: near southern California, the weather's great, and it's in a 838 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:20,760 Speaker 2: conference that's not stacked with national championship contenders. So ASU 839 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 2: should be able to win a division every three or 840 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 2: four years. You know, given those things, will they ever fulfill? 841 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,760 Speaker 2: It's decades long sleeping giant label. 842 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: I say giant, No, I say no, no, sleeping small forward. Yeah. 843 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. The whole Herm Edwards thing really 844 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: has me spooked in. I've been thinking a lot about 845 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,760 Speaker 1: this in the offseason. So far, I am so spooked. 846 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: I have no idea which direction things are headed there. 847 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: You know what we should do. 848 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 2: We should do a Bizarro show because if we go 849 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 2: through different conferences we have and I'm sure we don't 850 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 2: agree on all of this, but there's a certain amount 851 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 2: of conventional wisdom about each conference that, like Nick Saban 852 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,359 Speaker 2: will never be bad at Alabama, her Edwards is going 853 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 2: to be a disaster at Arizona State. Willie Taggart is 854 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 2: going to recruit super well at Florida State. You know, 855 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 2: there's just everywhere you look there is conventional wisdom, like 856 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 2: an assumed agreed upon talking point. We should do a 857 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 2: Bizarro show and figure out how the conventional wisdom can 858 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 2: be completely proven wrong. Like how would ASU see? Like, 859 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 2: what is what is the formula for her Edwards to 860 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 2: succeed at ASU despite all of the like the josh 861 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 2: and around about him. 862 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,839 Speaker 1: Well, the thing is, we're pretty booked up this offseason, Dan, 863 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 1: but yeah, it might be able to fit it in 864 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: at some point in like June. 865 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 2: All right, but do you have an answer to like 866 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 2: what what is the secret sauce that like here is 867 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 2: step and we can talk about it more on our 868 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 2: Bizarrow show whenever that happens. But like, give me the 869 00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 2: short version of no, it can actually work if Her Edwards. 870 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: The secret the secret sauce is that HERM Edwards and 871 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: his little formula is good that it can build some 872 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: level of consistency. M and ASU might not be the 873 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 1: best team or the most talented team out there, but 874 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,399 Speaker 1: they're consistent, very consistent on both sides of the ball 875 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: week in week out, and they're good enough to win 876 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: nine games a year. Yeah, that I think is is 877 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: where you'd have to go with it, because that's been 878 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: a problem for ASU. They've been inconsistent and when one 879 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 1: side of the ball is clicking, the other isn't. So 880 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: if they can get better than average on both sides 881 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 1: and do it consistently, that gets them going in the 882 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 1: right direction. I think that's right. 883 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 2: I would also argue that USC may not have a top, 884 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,320 Speaker 2: top tier coach like they did in the mid two thousands. 885 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 2: UCLA has a you know, it could be a situation 886 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 2: where Chip Kelly isn't old chip Kelly or previous chip 887 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 2: Kelly or bloom or bust. 888 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:01,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. 889 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 2: Utah and Colorado are in pretty good situations, though I 890 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 2: don't know if the outlook for Colorado is great and 891 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 2: Utah seems like they always sort of fade, have like 892 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 2: a November fade after starting pretty well. I think in 893 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 2: Arizona is they have a very similar ceiling. I think 894 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 2: as a school they've succeeded a little bit more athletically 895 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 2: because of basketball on a bigger stage, but it's a 896 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 2: division without clear superpowers, having everything together. And the state 897 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 2: of Arizona. I want to say they churn out blue 898 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 2: chip quarterbacks pretty much every year, it seems, Kyle Allen, 899 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 2: I know ASU has a current guy who was a 900 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 2: blue chip quarterback. Oregon is getting one this coming season, 901 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 2: so there is enough local talent to build around. I 902 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 2: would say that is the path of hoping for coaching 903 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:55,319 Speaker 2: inconsistency at other programs and consistently getting and having a 904 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 2: depth of quarterback that's higher quality than it has been recently. 905 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,840 Speaker 1: All right, where we're going next, Let's go two or 906 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 1: three more quick ones here. 907 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 2: All right, here's a quick one. John O'Meara, you want 908 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 2: to read it. Do you have thoughts? 909 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 1: Best Mike Tyson's punch out opponent? Mm hmmm. So is 910 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 1: he saying best in terms of they're the hardest to 911 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: conquer or just best because they're like the most fun 912 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:20,359 Speaker 1: to knock down? 913 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 2: Who is who is your favorite to face? Who is 914 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 2: to you is the most well developed character, most the 915 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 2: best defined er. 916 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: I always had a hard time with Great Tiger, of course, 917 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, with that little spin thing that he would do. 918 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: I always said, difficult. He was like the third or 919 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: fourth guy. I always had a hard time timing out 920 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 1: that little spin thing he would do. Was it who disappeared? 921 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: I think it was Great Tiger. It was Great Tiger. Yeah. 922 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 1: So for me, it's a toss up between Great Tiger 923 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: and Bald Bull because bald Bull was another one. You 924 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: had a time it out when he did that charge right, 925 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 1: Bald Bull all the way from Istanbul Turkey did the 926 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,840 Speaker 1: charge and you had a time it right, otherwise you 927 00:48:58,880 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: get knocked down. 928 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,240 Speaker 2: Ty, I'm a showman. I love me some. Don Flamenco, 929 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,439 Speaker 2: Don Flemaco. Yeah, Flemenco. Isn't it flamenco like the type 930 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 2: of Spanish dancing. 931 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 1: That's what I said, Don funny flamenco. Flamenco. Oh my god. 932 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 2: I I don't know how we're gonna deal with this 933 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,359 Speaker 2: this autumn with you saying Mario Crystal Ball. I don't 934 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 2: know what I'm gonna do. I don't know what I'm 935 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 2: gonna do. I'm going don flamenco. Uh slight but fun. 936 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 1: I think the most the most fun to face, though, 937 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 1: the most satisfying to knock down would always be King Hippo. Hmmm, 938 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: you knew what you were getting each time, but King 939 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,880 Speaker 1: Hippo knocking him down. Yeah, he had a good statrum 940 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: in the mouth and in the you know, he knocked 941 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,359 Speaker 1: the pants down. That was always fun. 942 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 2: I'm partial to a good von Kiser staggerback. 943 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: Hmm. 944 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 2: I like that a lot. But let's go to This 945 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 2: was a very strange question, and I assume it's a joke. 946 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 2: I really hope it's a joke. If you're watching a 947 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 2: game on TV at a friend's house and they ask 948 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 2: you to stand for the nat anthem, do you do it? 949 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: Has that ever happened to you? I'm confused by the 950 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 1: question because obviously, if you're watching the game, the people 951 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,760 Speaker 1: that are being broadcast on your television are being asked 952 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: to stand for the national anthem right at the game. 953 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,879 Speaker 1: So is he asking do you stand along with those 954 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: folks that are on TV? Or is he saying literally 955 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 1: that the friend is asking the other friends at the 956 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 1: house to stand for the national anthem. Yeah, I think 957 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: that's what it is that has never happened to me before. 958 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 1: I was going to. 959 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 2: Say, if maybe that does happen, and I accept that 960 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,280 Speaker 2: it's possible that it happens, that would be so strange 961 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 2: to me. 962 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm not I'm not taking a stand 963 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 1: for or against it. I'm just saying that would be 964 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: that's that's weird. It seems that it's weird. It does 965 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 1: seem weird. 966 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,799 Speaker 2: Okay, let's go one more question, one more last one. 967 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,320 Speaker 2: You choose ty Tye's choice. 968 00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 1: All right, Dan, let's go out on a high note here, 969 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 1: just for you. Let's go to chuck. He says, if 970 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: you had time for only one meal, and you're steering 971 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 1: at a barbecue shack, a diner, a burger slash, fries joint, 972 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: a taco truck, and a deli subshop. So you got 973 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,240 Speaker 1: like five options here, the barbecue, chicken, diner, chicken shack. 974 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,240 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, like six options here? Which do you choose? 975 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 1: And why assume that each is an elite version of 976 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 1: its genre? Mm hmmm hmmm. Which direction you go? And again, 977 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: your choices are barbecue, a diner, a burger joint, a 978 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 1: taco truck, a sub shop, and a chicken shack. Six options, Dan. 979 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 2: So I'm going to limit. Well, so we need to 980 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 2: know why we're short on time. Are we heading to 981 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 2: a big business meeting? Are we going to pick up 982 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 2: a child at soccer practice? 983 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 1: Like? 984 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 2: What is what is the time crime. 985 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,359 Speaker 1: Are you going to catch Are you trying to catch 986 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:57,760 Speaker 1: a flight? 987 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's say that. Let's see you're trying to catch 988 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,120 Speaker 2: a flight. You're going to be somewhere where physical discomfort 989 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 2: will be enhanced. 990 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 1: So I think if that is the context, you need 991 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: to veer away from the taco truck. Oh right, I 992 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: love tacos. Tacos are one of my favorite things. But 993 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,320 Speaker 1: taco before any kind of flight is that's a recipe 994 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:29,239 Speaker 1: for digestive disaster. Disagree, disagree, but continue. So I rule 995 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: out taco truck in that in that little world. I 996 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 1: rule out barbecue in that world because again, could be 997 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 1: stomach issues following barbecue. Love, barbecue could be stomach issues. 998 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 1: I also rule out the burger. The burger can bring 999 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 1: on some stomach issues that narrow. Don't worried about your intestines. 1000 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 1: I am worried. I'm on a flight. I know you 1001 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,760 Speaker 1: know what happens when you go up and I'm pressing 1002 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: changes to your stomach purely, but. 1003 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 2: Let's say purely out of taste. Your stomach is fine, 1004 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,840 Speaker 2: but you you know you'll have this food sitting in 1005 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 2: your stomach for a long time. 1006 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: The pressure does weird things. I'm veering away from those 1007 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 1: three and I'm picking from the diner, the sub shop, 1008 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 1: or the chicken shock. Those are all a little bit. 1009 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,399 Speaker 1: Fried chicken is just super mellow in there. It's more 1010 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: mellow than a taco truck. 1011 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 2: Dan Oh totally disagree. There's nothing deep fried about it. 1012 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 1: I am going to go very conservative here. If I'm 1013 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:31,080 Speaker 1: going on the flight, and I probably go either subshop 1014 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:31,760 Speaker 1: or the diner. 1015 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 2: Diner can be pretty greasy. You get a what a 1016 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:40,800 Speaker 2: patty melt, some steak fries. Going diner or subshop diner. 1017 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 1: You got options, though You're not pigeonholed into fried chicken 1018 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 1: or a taco or something that could really helping stomach. 1019 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,760 Speaker 2: I mean, this is not a shock. I'm doing taco 1020 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 2: and not thinking twice. I'm getting variety. I can control 1021 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,759 Speaker 2: portions and starch and heft and greasiness depending on which 1022 00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 2: meat I get. Oh, the variables are so asked with 1023 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 2: the taco. If I want pastor if I want chicken, 1024 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 2: if I want to eat lighter, I can do like 1025 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,920 Speaker 2: a veggie taco of some kind. I think you've got 1026 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 2: a layer of grease with the chicken shack, You've have 1027 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 2: a layer of grease with the diner, layer of grease 1028 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 2: with burger fries. There's there's a hef to barbecue that's 1029 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,319 Speaker 2: pretty difficult to avoid unless you get like turkey, which 1030 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 2: is you know, barbecue. Turkey's fine, but I think it's 1031 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 2: taco for me. 1032 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,439 Speaker 1: All right, we disagree, We disagree to close out the show. 1033 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: Thank you to everyone who wrote in via social media. 1034 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 1: As we said, the next one of these we do 1035 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: at the end of March, let's do a reddit only 1036 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 1: yeah version ready.
