7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: a planet Earth. Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you? I'm

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: ready for previews? Oh freaking yeah.

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: So we're into August. It is preview time, Ty, How

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: are we handling said previews? In the past, We've done

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: conference previews. We have done you know s and p

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: top forty countdown previews. We did previews as it relates

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: to which team got you. I mean, this was your idea,

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: I got you most aroused. I remember that was a

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: strange year, but you know, we got through it and

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: I think we're the better for it.

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: It was what are we weird? G chat? Yeah? Yes,

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: what are we doing this yere? While I'm still waiting

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: for the checks to clear? And depending on who donated

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: the most money, that will be who we spend most

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: of our time covering.

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: I like that and who we like the most. Where

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 2: you're biased towards the most.

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way this thing works here in the media.

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: So here here's the deal. As you mentioned, we we've

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: done a bunch of different cuts on season previews last

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: two years. I believe we've done the top forty or

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: top whatever according to the S and P Plus. The

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: S and P plus is still going to have a

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: pretty big role in how we preview teams building up

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: to the twenty seventeen season. We're going to try and

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: have a conference conversation here each and every week now

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: in the build up to the season. Tonight, we're going

34
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: to do Big twelve. We're going to start there. But

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: what we didn't want to do is leave some teams

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: like Iowa State out because Iowa State to me as

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: a team that I'm really excited about that I want

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: to talk about that. I know we have fans who

39
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: listen to the show want to get a little bit

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: igh with State. Matt Campbell discussion out there for some

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: people who might be interested in really just how they

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: fit into the whole Big twelve equations. So a conference

43
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: conversation is how we are going to approach each of

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: the Power five conferences. And then we've also got some

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: important nuggets about the group of five conferences as well. Correct.

46
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: I think tonight we're gonna do the American Conference or

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: the Act.

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: The Power six.

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: Maybe according to the American Conference, the sixth team are

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: the sixth conference. Excuse me, Yes, So we're gonna do

51
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: some nuggets about the American after we talk about the

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Big Twelve. We're going to touch on all of the

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: teams in some fashion or form.

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: But first time, I have breaking news. Oh, breaking news.

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, double breaking news.

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Here we go. Who whoa? Whoa? Did you want to

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: play again? No? Just once once? Oh? Okay, okay, that's fine.

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I did it again.

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: We have two things, two news stories to break as

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: it relates to the solid verbal. The first is in

64
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: Last time we did it Hill Country Chicken. We are

65
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: friends with the people at the Hill Country Restaurant Group.

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: They've been very good to us, and they serve very

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 2: good food and they have shiner and all that good

68
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: stuff at both of their restaurants. So good cheap beer

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: that's a winning combination for us. We're doing it a

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,080

00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: pre orders at solid verbal dot com slash store. Mostually

123
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: is that I'm a big fan of how this shirt

124
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: came out, and I say that as somebody who designed

125
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: the entire thing. But it's the new shirt for twenty seventeen.

126
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: It's we are not going to be ordering a lot

127
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: of these just because it's very difficult to keep track

128
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: of everything. So it's a limited order run of shirts.

129
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: You know, we might find a place to put it

130
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: up after the fact, but we don't know when that's

131
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: going to be. So if you're interested in a shirt,

132
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: we have small through I think double X. Yep, that's correct,

133
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: that's small through double X available for pre order and

134
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: then you'll get your shirt and everybody's gonna be happy.

135
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: They will once again be very comfortable. They are a

136
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: new color, it's a brand new design. I really like

137
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: how they came out. I cannot wait to wear one

138
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,120

Speaker 1: as the nineties video game show we did with Bill

157
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Barnwell and Ryan Nanny, the two shows we recorded in

158
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: the same day that caused me to lose my voice

159
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: for a week and a half, just a little bit. Yeah.

160
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: People have asked in response to that, how can they

161
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: donate to the Solidverbal We are not taking donations for

162
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: the soliverbal We would instead encourage you to go on

163
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: out and buy a shirt or come to a live show.

164
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Just be part of the community. Help spread the wealth.

165
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: That's what we're all about.

166
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not super comfortable asking for your money for

167
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: doing something we already want to and love doing. So

168
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: a shirt or coming out to the live show would

169
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: be incredible for our relationship as hosts and audience. That'd

170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: be wonderful.

171
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: And if you don't want to spend any money, at

172
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: a minimum going out. If you like the show, write

173
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: us a review on Facebook or on iTunes at iTunes,

174
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: dot com, slash Solid Verbal, or just join our pool.

175
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Our pickam pool which I sent out to a gentleman

176
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: yesterday happening. I will be yeah, a lot going on here.

177
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: As we turn the calendar to August, there will be

178
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: a pick and pool out on Yahoo which will advertise

179
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: progressively more and more as we get closer to the season. Ty,

180
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: can we talk about football? I love to talk about football, Dan,

181
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to play this. I already gave away the

182
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: game in saying that we're gonna talk about the Big Twelve.

183
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah here, But what are your thoughts in the Big Twelve?

184
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about this conference? Dan? I feel

185
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. I was trying to come up with something

186
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: clever or flashy, or a way to brand the Big

187
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: Twelve as a whole, and all I could come ahle,

188
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: I came up with two things. One I probably should

189
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: have like heavy metal under me, but incremental improvement. Incremental

190
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: improvement or El Pasco. Yeah, Well here's my thing. Yeah,

191
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: every team in the Big Twelve has a big, bold,

192
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: seventy two point aerial question mark, and the only differentiator

193
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma is that their question mark is only big

194
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: and bold, but thirty six points, yes, not quite as big.

195
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: They to me represent the clear top tier in the

196
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: Big Twelve this season. Beyond that, though, I think it's

197
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: really interesting. Incremental Improvement's a good way to phrase it.

198
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: But as a whole, most of the teams, if not

199
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: all of the teams in the conference, save for maybe

200
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: West Virginia, which we'll talk about here momentarily, save for

201
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: maybe Baylor, who knows where they're going, Save for maybe

202
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Because it's always the same preview each and

203
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: every year under Cliff Kingsbury. Most teams across the board,

204
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: I think are going to get better enough production, coming

205
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: back enough improvements made towards the latter half of last season,

206
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: we should see a better conference as a whole in

207
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve this year.

208
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: The clear worst Power five or Power six, all things considered,

209
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: conference that there was in twenty sixteen. I believe, the

210
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: only Power five conference with fewer than fifty percent of

211
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: their teams finishing with a winning record, which is it's

212
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: pretty unacceptable, it really is. But I understand they play

213
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: nine conference games and other conferences don't. But there's no reason,

214
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: considering the level of talent generally speaking in this area,

215
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: that more than five teams can't finish with the winning record.

216
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: The non conference schedules sort of up and down across

217
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: the board, but I think it's fair to assume that

218
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: this conference can only go up from where they were

219
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: last year.

220
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. So what I think we'll

221
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: do talk about our general impressions of the teams within

222
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: the Big twelve, how we see them all meshing, how

223
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: we see them all knocking each other off, throwing a

224
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: little soliverble personality, kick it up a notch with some

225
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: solible your words, your words, and that we'll just we'll

226
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: try to suss all this out, man, figure out where

227
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: it goes. Yes, do you want to start with Oklahoma?

228
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: I do want to start out with Oklahoma. Okay? To me,

229
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: they are, by the way, pre season eighth in the poll,

230
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: the Amway Coaches poll that USA Today released earlier today.

231
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: Good timing. They are eighth in the preseason poll. Take

232
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: that with a green of salt. They are clearly the

233
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: cream of the crop. They should be able to control

234
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage on offense. They should be solid

235
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: with their back seven. What concerns me at a very

236
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: high level, and what I'm legitimately curious to see, is

237
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: if there is at all a transition phase now with

238
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley stepping in for Bob Stoops who retired. Remember

239
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: that it feels like it was an eon ago. Bob

240
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Stoops retiring was kind of something that came out of

241
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: left field. It was a big story. I covered it

242
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: while you were away on your Where were you? Where'd

243
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: you go? I was on my moon. I was honeymoon.

244
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: You were off mooning. I talked to Bruce Felm and

245
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I talked to Andy Staples about it, what it all meant.

246
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't as big a surprise to them as I

247
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: think it was for a lot of college football fans.

248
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: But I don't want to undersell the fact that a

249
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: coaching legend has passed the baton onto a guy who's

250
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: still relatively young, who's very well respected in coaching circles,

251
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: but this is still his first head coaching gig Dan.

252
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot that can go wrong with that.

253
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, he won't have time to devote as much energy

254
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: as he has these past couple of years to the offense. Luckily,

255
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield is really, really good at college football, one

256
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: of the great all time walk ons. And on the

257
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: flip side, no d d Westbrook, no samaj p Ry,

258
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: no Joe Mixon. So certainly going to be new names

259
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: on offense, But as you mentioned, the lineup front should

260
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: be really good and the schedule all things considered, and

261
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair to look too deeply into

262
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: what this Oklahoma team will be just because of what

263
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: they do at Ohio Stadium against Ohio State early on

264
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: in the year. Because the Big Twelve schedule is pretty good. Yeah,

265
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean, they never played Texas as a true road game,

266
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: so it's your neutral site Cotton Bowl game. They're on

267
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: the road against Kansas State, They're on the road against

268
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State and Bedlam. But all things considered, it's a

269
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: pretty even schedule once they get into the conference part

270
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: of the year. So I really like Oklahoma. I'm curious

271
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: to see what kind of in game management we see

272
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: from Lincoln, right that's the big difference on game day.

273
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: I think I have him down for ten wins. I

274
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: have ten and two. I have them losing Ohio State

275
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: on the road and to either Oklahoma State on the road,

276
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: you know, Kansas State. Nobody ever wants to play against

277
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: this style Kansas State team or some sort of weird

278
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: shootouty game, be it against West Virginia or TCU, who

279
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: they had a shootout against last year. So that's I'm

280
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: really excited to see this team, and I think you

281
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: hit every other point the wins projection. According to our

282
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: friend Bill Connolly, is currently at nine point seven.

283
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so ten wins feels about right to me. I

284
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: would urge you and we'll talk a little bit more

285
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: about this when we get to Texas. Don't discount what

286
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: Tom Herman does as an underdog. We saw what he

287
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: did at Houston against some teams that he wasn't supposed

288
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: to beat, namely Oklahoma. Right, we'll see, We'll see what

289
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: he's able to do, how he assembles those parts. I

290
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: also want to come back to a point that you

291
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: mentioned about Oklahoma losing Joe Mixon samaj p Ryan. They're

292
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: two headed monster at running back as well as Dede Westbrook,

293
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: who was in New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation.

294
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: That's forty six hundred total yards walking out the door, yep.

295
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: How do they repentance that they've got names, they've got

296
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: talent because they're Oklahoma. But I don't expect that to

297
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: be just something that works out automatically. Because you've got

298
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I think it's going to take some time.

299
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: It helps that you've got a really good offensive line,

300
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: probably the best in the Big twelve. That'll work for you,

301
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: But I think it's going to take some time. To

302
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: work things out. I don't think they'll have that all

303
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: in order by September ninth when they go to Ohio State.

304
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: I would also add this fun nugget, speaking of which,

305
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: Oklahoma is one of a handful of teams to have

306
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: never been shut out in a college football playoff game.

307
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: Oh college football playoff teams mostly have never been shut out,

308
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: and that includes Oklahoma.

309
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: Very good, very good. Yeah uh. And we'll see what

310
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: the defense has in story if it can improve. It's

311
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: been good. It's not been elite since brand Vettibles left,

312
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: but still a pretty good unit. As it relates, certainly

313
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: to the Big twelve. Who do we have next? We

314
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: both feel in ten wins? Yes, I'm feeling ten. Let's

315
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: go down to Texas. Okay, I mentioned Texas. They are

316
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: pre season twenty three dan according again to the Amway

317
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: Coaches USA today pol mm hmm. They get with a

318
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: green as salt. They indeed are. Last year, they were

319
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: very young, very very young. Charlie Strong was still the

320
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: coach way back when the defense as a whole got

321
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: better throughout the course of the year. Inconsistent, but got

322
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: better throughout the course of the season. The offense, though

323
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: had trouble. They had trouble assembling their parts outside of

324
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: Deonty Foreman and Shane Bachelle was certainly a revelation early

325
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: could certainly throw that streak down the side against teams

326
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: that were willing to surrender the street Notre Dame, but

327
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: beyond that, it just felt like they had a difficult

328
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: time building that cohesion. Now we've got Tom Herman, dan is,

329
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: what is he going to do with Shane Buschelle who

330
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly as young, but he wasn't exactly any model

331
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: for efficiency on offense. Yeah, and it's sort of a

332
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: misnomer that you know Houston had this big, fancy offense

333
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: because of how they played early on in the season.

334
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: We saw them beat Oklahoma of course early on, But

335
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: I imagine Shane Bochelle will have a better idea of the

336
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: expectations of the offense because of Tom Herman, because of

337
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: what you know, it's Tim Beck, who I know a

338
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: lot of people have very mixed opinions of as a coordinator.

339
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: He comes in to help run that Texas offense. But

340
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: here's the really good news. I still like Chris Warren

341
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy. I really like the Texas

342
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: offensive line. Defensively, I would say the Lion's share of

343
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: the talent is in the back whatever six or seven,

344
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Lak Jefferson, Anthony Wheeler. These are healthy people, well hopefully.

345
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: I like a couple of the defensive backs for Texas

346
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: a lot. Chris Boyd and PJ. Lock are good, but

347
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I see like super duper game

348
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: changers up front. And that's why I can't really get

349
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: into the threatening nine or ten wins sort of mode

350
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: for Texas. So my expectations are pretty limited because of health,

351
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: because of depth, because I just knew everything, including I

352
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: think Tom Herman shaved his head. I saw that today.

353
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: I saw they have forty three inch screens at every locker,

354
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: so everything is getting real sleek, whether it's a scalp

355
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 2: or a dressing room. So I am optimistic that Texas

356
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: is going to improve. If they can stop the run

357
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: a little bit better, if they can get after the

358
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: quarterback with some guys being shifted around a little bit better,

359
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: I think big things for Texas long term. I really

360
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: like Todderland to always have their defensive coordinator. Their schedule

361
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: is not the best because they travel to USC early

362
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: on but both Oklahoma schools are not true road games,

363
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: but they go on the road to TCU and West

364
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: Virginia at the end of the year. So will it

365
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: appears right now be tests for the front of the defense,

366
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 2: so we'll have a better idea of.

367
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: The incremental improvement. That's right, that's right by event. So

368
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: I want to also mention Todd Orlando, who came with

369
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Tom Herman from Houston to Texas. Defense was again very

370
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: young a year ago and it did improve, but it

371
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: needs to get better against the run. Like you said,

372
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: what kind of impact will he have coming with Tom Herman.

373
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: We know that those two have worked pretty well together

374
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: to turn their Houston defense into what I thought was

375
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: a unit that was pretty formidable last year.

376
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: Yes, and on that a similar token. Here's what we

377
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: saw from Texas near the end of the year, a

378
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: lost to Kansas. Here's what we've seen from Tom Herman

379
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 2: these past couple of years. And I think we both

380
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: really like Tom Herman as a head coach.

381
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: We've seen Doudwicks, we saw them really look bad Houston

382
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: against SMU last year. They lose to Yukon a couple

383
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: of years ago. They've struggled with Navy. So it's the

384
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: freshing the idea that you should be teams that are

385
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: you're clearly better than, and so eliminating not limiting. Eliminating

386
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: the dud weeks. For Texas, I think is going to

387
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: be the huge, huge thing I'm looking for. There may

388
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: be dud weeks, but they're gonna play USC tight, and

389
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna play Oklahoma type. Okay, maybe they'll maybe they'll

390
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: lose that Baylor, but there are going to be games,

391
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: those games where they are underdogs where I think they

392
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: they play well because of Tom Herman and because of

393
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: all the returning talent they have coming back. Let me,

394
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the scale. Yeah, let me read through

395
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: this list really quick. Right, Who's gonna who's gonna blow

396
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: the lid off the defense? That's yeah, that's a big

397
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: question on offense. But in terms of just guys coming back.

398
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: Eight of nine offensive linemen, including Connor Williams, who is

399
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: an All Doplican top three wide receiving targets, seven of

400
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: the top nine defensive linemen and six are either sophomores

401
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: or juniors. Seven of the top eight line again, six

402
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: are either sophomores or juniors and eight of the top

403
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: ten defensive backs returning. Seven of those are either sophomores

404
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: or juniors. So Texas is set up really nicely, not

405
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: just for this year, but certainly next year as well.

406
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: What's the record. I see a loss to either USC

407
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: or Oklahoma. I think they're going to knock one of

408
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: those teams off. Wow. I think there will be a

409
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: dud week at some point in there, and I'm going

410
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: to count another unspecified loss in there as well. I

411
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: say nine wins for Texas. I'm high on Texas.

412
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm at like seven and a half, seven and five,

413
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: eight and four. If things go right health wise, I

414
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 2: think they they're just going to be that that transition yere.

415
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, where are we going next?

416
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: Let's go to Oklahoma State? All right, let's go to Stillwater.

417
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: Let's go to a team that I think we're both

418
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: pretty high one and Oklahoma State schedule wise tricky, it's

419
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 2: sort of a landmine situation. They have Tulane, excuse me,

420
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: Tulsa early on, and it's a Tulsa team that's looking

421
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: a little bit different, but they were dangerous last year.

422
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: They traveled to pitt SEC really decent, only time. We'll

423
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: tell Tyler. But they've got a stretch of I think

424
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 2: it's at Texas, at West Virginia and Oklahoma in late

425
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: October early November. If they can go two and one

426
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 2: out of that, I think they have a very good

427
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: chance to at least threaten double digit wins. I think

428
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: they're good enough to be pitt They're good enough to

429
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 2: beat Tulsa in the non conference. I have them down

430
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 2: as a team threatening. I don't know if they can

431
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: get to that double digit winder in the regular season mark,

432
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: but I like all sorts of pieces on this team.

433
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: Even though the defense is pretty inexperienced, there's guys that

434
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: have rotated in. There's promising talent there. Offensively, I think

435
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: we all know the story at this point. Mason Rudolph

436
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: de Sides to come back. We love Junkyard, Jim Washington.

437
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: He's not even the only receiver in that core that's

438
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: really good. They're a deep core of speed and talent

439
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: in the receiving area of things.

440
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: And Tie, Yeah, guess what I have right now? What's

441
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: it breaking news? It's not breaking news.

442
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: Tie, I've got a Doode alert. There's a duode alert

443
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 2: because Justice Hill is so good. I'm planting my flag

444
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: on Justice Hill.

445
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: He is long arm of the law, just the long

446
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: arm of the law. Is a home run hitter. He

447
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: is a cut and go guy. He was, I believe,

448
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: a freshman last year and campaign sure was just ridiculous.

449
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: And gives them the balance that will have to draw

450
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: safeties in sometimes and give then obviously Junkyard Jim Washington.

451
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 2: Room to Rome Deep. So he makes this offense complete.

452
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: Justice So actually reminds me a lot of Michael James

453
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: and that sort of cut and go and he's sort.

454
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: Of elusive water bug. Yeah, kind of kind of running back.

455
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: I love Justice Hill. He's gonna be so damn fun. Yeah.

456
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: By the way, Oklahoma State, the Cowboys are eleventh in

457
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: the preseason poll. Again, take it with a grain of salt.

458
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: Release today the Amblay USA Today Coaches Poll. They are

459
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: gonna be a ton of fun to watch. They always

460
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: are because of the offense. Mason Rudolph throws an awesome

461
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: deep ball and Mike Gundy is not afraid to use it.

462
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: That will make them exciting to watch. On offense, the

463
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: questions defense, it leaves a lot to be desired. We're

464
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: going on a couple of years now, Dan, since everyone

465
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: was enchanted by what Glenn Spencer could do as a

466
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. It just happens. Yeah, it hasn't been the same.

467
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: They're replacing a bad secondary with four of their top

468
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: six defensive backs going elsewhere, graduating, leaving the program. The

469
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: defense has been mediocre at best since like twenty thirteen,

470
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: and corner is really weak this year, the worst in

471
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. I am very curious to see how

472
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: defensively they handle a Big twelve conference that's gonna want

473
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: to throw the football. Yeah, so that all there. We'll see.

474
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: They've got so many, got some good defensive ends. I'm

475
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: thinking like eight or nine. Yeah, I have nine and three.

476
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: Eight or nine feels right to me. M hm. Defense

477
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be that issue, gonna be a problem. Where

478
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: are we going next?

479
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: Let's got a West flip in Virginia? Tyler, Okay, let's

480
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: talk here.

481
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: Point of contention, m West Virginia is pre season twenty

482
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: USA today am White pole two. Yeah. Last year was

483
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: a good year, ten and two regular season ten and three,

484
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: lost the bowl game to Miami. Do you feel that

485
00:25:53,600 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: with the following inventory of losses personnel losses, No, that

486
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: West Virginia should be the preseason twenty Skyler Howard is gone.

487
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: Two of their top three receivers are gone, five of

488
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: their seven offensive linemen, five of their top seven offensive

489
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: lineman excuse me, are gone. Their top three defensive linemen,

490
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: five of their top six linebackers, and five of their

491
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: top six defensive backs all gone. Do you feel that

492
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: that warrants a top twenty preseason ranking? USA Today am

493
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: Way coaches, Bull.

494
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: I think the Will Greer or as I now really

495
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: want to call him, the Bill Greer factor.

496
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: Are we hold on pause? Are we doing the Bill convert?

497
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: The will to Bill conversion? Here?

498
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: Do we currently have a college football bill with Big

499
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: Bill Fuller in the NFL? I love Bill Greer, as

500
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: the name.

501
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Bill Grier doesn't have enough syllables. Maybe it's one of

502
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: these things because the same syllables as Bill Fuller, Bill

503
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: full Er. That's three Bill Greer, only two. No, Bill Greer.

504
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of a stretch. Dan, that's fact.

505
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: Maybe only Maybe Bill Greer prefers Bill in a professional setting,

506
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: but to his friends, kind of like you with Dan, Danny,

507
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: maybe his family and friends call him Billy all right,

508
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: we've done Bill before we'll go.

509
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 2: Billy Greer got up to some stuff after high school, right,

510
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: trying to figure it all out in Morgantown, Billy Billy Greer.

511
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: I think that overvalues how people are viewing West Virginia

512
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: at the moment, and there are things really like about

513
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: West Virginia. I love Justin Crawford and what he was

514
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 2: able to show last year, another home run hitter. I

515
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: am worried. The linebackers are pretty much all back, but

516
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 2: you're right the front on defense, the secondary is rebuilt

517
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: once again. And it's not like these West Virginia teams

518
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: haven't had two overhaul units year over year. They keep

519
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 2: infusing with JC guys, they keep scouting and developing correctly.

520
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: So Tony Gibson at the very least deserves somewhat of

521
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt. I'm a Tony great defensive coordinator, Yes, absolutely,

522
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: But I just it's a tough year to overhaul everything

523
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: on defense like they're going to have to do, so

524
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: I think they take a step back. I don't think

525
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: they're a top twenty team. Like it's the Amway, which

526
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: is so funny. The Amway coaches pol.

527
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, am way you look at today coaches pol.

528
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 2: I feel like they're not that sort of nine to

529
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: ten win type team like they've threatened to be recently.

530
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to say they're a seven and five team

531
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: this year. They take a step back. The defense will

532
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: be fine eventually, but I think they're gonna they're gonna

533
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: take some hits.

534
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair to Dana Holgerson that there

535
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: are such expectations, because again, if you look at what

536
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: they are losing, this is a near total rebuild. Yeah,

537
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: it really is. I think you need to temper expectations.

538
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: It's a tough schedule too, it is it is you're

539
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: talking about an early game against Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech

540
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: loses its quarterback, but I think should be a pretty

541
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: solid opponent in Week one. I don't think West Virginia

542
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: is going to find their sea legs in time for

543
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: that game. I could see Texas Tech being a problem

544
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: because of their passing attack. I could see Baylor being

545
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: a problem if they get their defense together. I can

546
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: see Iowa State being a problem based on the way

547
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: they're sandwiched in between Oklahoma State and Kansas State. Yeah,

548
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: I could see a lot of things up in the air.

549
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 1: For West Virginia. The only thing I really like at

550
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: this point is justin Crawford. That's the only thing. I'm

551
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: a fan of Billy Greer, but he only had two

552
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: good games. Yeah, let's keep things in check a little bit,

553
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: pretty high talent ceiling, but I think that's reasonable to say.

554
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying five and seven, four and eight for West Virginia.

555
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: I am not in at all huge steps back and

556
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm usually pro West Virginia Mountaineers, but count me out

557
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: way out. I am selling hard.

558
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: See, I'm not that down because you have a good court,

559
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: you have a good system in place, you run the

560
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: ball well enough.

561
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: I think you win more than you don't. So wow,

562
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking for I respect it system. I'm looking

563
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: for personnel, and I'm looking for fit. Okay, all right.

564
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: Fit is the greatest concern for me when I'm looking

565
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: at teams, and also Dan when I'm talking about dress shirts.

566
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: Oh shoot, finding a dress shirt that fits is hard.

567
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: You know that the collars too tight, sleeves are too long,

568
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: something's always off. Luckily, if you order a custom fit shirt,

00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: They promise that every ingredient arives ready to cook or

617
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: they will make it right. Some of the meals in August,

618
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: there we go basil pesto chicken with summertime vegetable and zanella. Yeah,

619
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: I think that's right. One for one, sautage shrimp and

620
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: green beans with globe tomatoes or is it globe tomatoes

621
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: As far as I know, Globe spinach and orzo pasta

622
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: failed it whole grain pasta and summer vegetables with airloom tomato,

623
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: Caprice salad, miso butter salmon and low maine noodles with

624
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: cucumber and charmed tomatoes. A really strong representation here by

625
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: the tomato industry. And finally meatball pizza with fresh mazzarella,

626
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: cheese and charm tomatoes.

627
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: Hy, you were so close, You were so close, and

628
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: I can't believe. Just like you screwed up Nyoki before

629
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 2: you screwed up an Italian dish, it's not caprice capraisee

00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: better way to cook. When we laughed left our heroes

638
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve, we were talking about five and

639
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: seven West Virginia. Where we go in next in.

640
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: Let's go with perhaps because I think for proper cloth

641
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 2: or blue Apron, I forget which one. There was a

642
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: keyword of solid, Yeah, promo code. So let's go with

643
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: what looks to be the most solid. And that's the

644
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: most bankable team I think on our list here other

645
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 2: than Oklahoma in the Big Twelve, that's Kansas State.

646
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

647
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: I feel very good about Kansas State, not because of

648
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: what they necessarily return on offense, but because of what

649
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: they've shown on defense lately, even with the loss of

650
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 2: some big names, notably Jordan Willis on defense. I like

651
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 2: how their defense is playing. I like what they return

652
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: on that side of the ball. And the big thing

653
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: for me is even though their offense isn't going to

654
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: put up huge numbers, they have such a clear identity

655
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: and Jesse Ertz is just so solid they might put

656
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: together a thirty four hundred play drive. I don't know

657
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 2: what they do. I don't know how they do it.

658
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: They're going to go inch by inch and draw people

659
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: off sides, whatever the case may be. They are going

660
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: to ruin teams in the way that somebody who is

661
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: very patient and very adept at NCAA football rip for

662
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: Xbox PS four whatever, in that they can get five

663
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: yards every time they run. They're not going for weird

664
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: RPO plays, not trying to run an option. They're not.

665
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: They're just patient. And Kansas State does that on offense,

666
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: and that ruins the other their team's offense because then

667
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: they get impatient if they fall behind. Yeah, so Kansas

668
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: State this year. I like Jesse here. It's a whole bunch.

669
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: I like what they bring back on both sides of

670
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: the ball. There's a lot of talent, there's a lot

671
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: of experience, and all things considered, the schedule's not bad.

672
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: It is they open against are they early on? Yeah?

673
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: It totally is feasible. They early on in the season.

674
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 2: I think they go to Nashville to play Vanderbilt, which

675
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 2: should just be a demolition derby that should be ten

676
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: to seven one way or the other. And then they

677
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: have it looks like they go to Texas, but they

678
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: always beat Texas, I mean usually Texas.

679
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: I think that game at Texas will be will be

680
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: the bell Weather there. There's a tough stretch if you're

681
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: looking at the schedule critically, very tough stretch from late

682
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: September through the first three weeks of October, because you've

683
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: got a Baylor game, which we don't know what we're

684
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: going to get out of Baylor right now, but Baylor's defense,

685
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Baylor's defense could be intriguing. Yeah, at Texas,

686
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: which I think is a good bell Weather game for

687
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: where Kansas State is at. Then in consecutive weeks at

688
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: home TCU and Oklahoma. You get through that four week stretch,

689
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: I think you're mostly sitting pretty in the Big twelve.

690
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: That to me is the rough patch to watch in

691
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: the schedule.

692
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. I think that's reasonable. I feel

693
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: good about it, though. I think at this point, if

694
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 2: everything you know, in Bill Snyder's getting over some health

695
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: concerns he had in the offseason, and we hope he's

696
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 2: obviously all right and that full strength sort of anchor

697
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: this team moving forward. But yes, you're absolutely right that

698
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 2: stretch is going to speak volumes. But this feels like

699
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 2: the year that we finished the season saying and Kansas

700
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 2: State was Kansas State. They did exactly what they should

701
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: have done given the talent that they have. I like

702
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: them a lot. I'm optimistic. I'm at about nine and

703
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: three right now with Kansas State. Yeah, I like the identity.

704
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: Preseason nineteen, by the way, in the newly released USA

705
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: Today Coaches, and it'll find to me it totally fine

706
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: to me nine and four last season. Important to note

707
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: that this is a team that improved drastically from start

708
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: to finish, both offensively and defensively, particularly on the defensive

709
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: side of the football. It's the season war on. The

710
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: defense got a lot better and that really did make

711
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: a difference, especially against the pass, which is paramounts if

712
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: you're going to play in the Big twelve. My question though,

713
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: is whether or not they have more than just Jesse

714
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: Ertz and Alex Barnes making plays offense. Now, we've seen

715
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: Bill Snyder Kansas State do a lot. Even if you've

716
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: only got two guys. They can find a way to

717
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: make that work with that slow, plodding vanilla five yards

718
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: of play offense. But can they manufacture some big plays

719
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: like they did towards the end of last season. If

720
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: they do that, I think that takes them to another level.

721
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: I think that gets them to that nine win mark.

722
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: We're going to have to wait and see. That hasn't

723
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: necessarily been their identity, but I think the pieces are

724
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: in place where they can do it. My other set

725
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: of questions is about their defensive front because they lose

726
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Willison. That's gonna hurt. Can the front seven hold

727
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: up against the run and force the pass? Because I

728
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: think they'll be pretty good against the pass this year.

729
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that may ask you a question, Sure, would you

730
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 2: want to be and we're talking optimist at Kansas State?

731
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: Would you want to root for this Kansas State team?

732
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: Just that's the end of the question.

733
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: Yes, pure, pure style, pure This is what I have

734
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: come to expect every week from Kansas State. They will

735
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 2: be outmatched by a couple of teams that are clearly

736
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 2: just way more talented and have a system in place.

737
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 2: You know, Kansas State maybe can't keep up with their speed,

738
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: can't produce enough big plays. Whatever, be it Oklahoma, be

739
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 2: at West Virginia, be at Oklahoma State, whatever, But you

740
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 2: know that Kansas State is going to be more sound.

741
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: They're going to force more one on one tackles than

742
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: most of the teams they play against. But there's not

743
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 2: going to be a ton of exciting plays, deep passes,

744
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 2: trick play. You know, whatever the case may be, is

745
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 2: that a team you would want to root for?

746
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: I would say no, because cheering for Case State's a

747
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: lot like cheering for Navy in that, even though you

748
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: don't have any kind of pyrotechnic identity on offense, you

749
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: sort of know what you're signing up for. You I

750
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: love root Navy. You know what the team is going

751
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: to do offensively, and you also know that if it's

752
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: not working, it really ain't working right, and that can

753
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: be maddening. Yeah, so I would say no.

754
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: We saw a couple of years ago and they just

755
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: stopped being able to run the ball completely, like it

756
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 2: was feet that they were averaging per carry.

757
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: Texas for me is the Bellweather Game October seventh circle

758
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: it right now at Texas, I've got K State at

759
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: seven and five. I am not buying K State this year.

760
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: I disagree. I haven't said that in a long time.

761
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to Baylor. Mm hmmmm. Baylor is clearly in transition.

762
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: They started last year six and oh. They finished oh

763
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: and six a tumultuous interim year led by Jim grob

764
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: which was weird, but they had to do it. In

765
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: the offseason, they hire Matt Rule from Temple, which was

766
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: a bit of a surprise. I have warmed to Matt Rule,

767
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: I will add I've never been the biggest Matt Rule

768
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: coaching hire fan, but I've warmed to Matt Rule based

769
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: on what he's done so far. It's interesting. It follows

770
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: the theory of hire the opposite of the guy you

771
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: had in previously. And if ever there were an opposite

772
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: to Art Briles, just stylistically, schematically, certainly that guy would

773
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: be Matt Rule. Fair to say, yeah, absolutely fair to say.

774
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: What intrigues me, What surprises me, perhaps the most of

775
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: anyone in the Big twelve is how much I like

776
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: the potential that Baylor has on defense. When I used

777
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: to talk in that way about a Baylor defense. But

778
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent there, Yeah, a ton of experience.

779
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: It's back and the combination of Matt Ruhle and Phil

780
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: Snow was really effective at Temple. They built legitimately good

781
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: defenses in Philly. Offensively, I have no idea what's going

782
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: to happen. I don't even know what's going to look like.

783
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: I suspect that will probably take some time. On the

784
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, Dan, I'm actually quite bullish

785
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: on what Baylor could do. This is a conference that

786
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: needs better defenses to give it, I think, a better reputation.

787
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what they can what they

788
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: can do here. I am pretty optimistic about Baylor this season,

789
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: and so I'm kind of feeling seven or eight wins here.

790
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought the Wheels, I mean, it was very

791
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 2: clear the Wheels came off on the field last year

792
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 2: and second half of the season, and certainly it's a

793
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 2: fresh start for Baylor, for whatever that's worth.

794
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: Do you know who they open with Baylor? Baylor? Yeah,

795
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: they opened with Liberty. Liberty right, who hired the athletic

796
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: director who was at Baylor for a while and a

797
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: Liberty Baylor matchup is sort of like what if there

798
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: was just really inclement weather and they just decided, you

799
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: know what, let's just not this year.

800
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 2: That's just not That's how I feel about Liberty Baylor.

801
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 2: Beyond that, schedule's not bad. They go to Duke, they

802
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 2: go to Kansas State, to Oklahoma State, but it sort

803
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 2: of clears up near the end of the year. It's

804
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 2: a front loaded schedule, which is very strange to say.

805
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: With Baylor. I like them. Matt Rule hire a lot.

806
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: I like his staff hires a whole lot.

807
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 2: I like what Obviously it's hard not to what Phil

808
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: Snow did with the Temple defense these past couple of years.

809
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 2: Baylor's going to be fine on the field because of

810
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: Matt Rule. I don't think they're going to be as

811
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: nearly as explosive. Nobody will be as they've been these

812
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 2: past few years during the Arbriles tenure. But schedule's not bad.

813
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 2: The quarterback position, whether it's it's Zach Smith or a

814
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 2: new Solomon, the Arizona transfer running things, it'll be okay.

815
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 2: There's talent along the skill pa positions. I have them

816
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 2: down as six and six just because I do think

817
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 2: there is going to be transition elements that you know,

818
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 2: they might lose toss up games, they might have problems

819
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: with offensive identity. We're not talking about a Temple offense

820
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: that was super explosive at all. So what exactly are

821
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: they going to be trying to do with an offense

822
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: that was recruited to play a very different type of

823
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: system that I think there's going to be There are

824
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 2: gonna be some growing pains there. Numbers are still a

825
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: little bit dicey just in terms of pure available high

826
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: level talent. So six and six feels about right, yeah,

827
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 2: and I show some flashes, they're going to show some deficiencies.

828
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: I shouldn't just pan over the offense and say I

829
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: don't know what they're going to do. I don't. I

830
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: still don't know what they're going to do. But right

831
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 1: what strikes me in looking at this roster is that

832
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: the main stabilizing forces from a year ago are pretty

833
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: much all gone save for Terrence Williams and three offensive linemen.

834
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: Seth Russell gone, Katie Cannon gone, Kyle Fuller, dom de

835
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: Susan on this Tom yeah gone, yeah, this is Mora.

836
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: So they've got a lot to work out on that side.

837
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: Of the ball that hasn't necessarily been Matt rules Forte. Defensively,

838
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what Phil Snow can do because

839
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: they do have a lot coming back on on the

840
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football. So I'm feeling like seven

841
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: and five, eight and four if I want to get

842
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: really risky with it. But seven and five, let's let's

843
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: keep it right there. Who do you want to go

844
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: to next? I want to talk about Iowa State Wow,

845
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: before TCU. All right, let's talk about TCU. I don't

846
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: want to disrespect to you. We'll go TCU respectful. TCU is

847
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: my playoff pick a year ago. Remember, Yeah, how'd that

848
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: work out? They won? Eight and four? They didn't make

849
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: the playoff. Alas, for all intents and purposes, everyone is

850
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: back from that eight and four team from a year ago.

851
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: They have, according to our friend Bill Connolly, the most

852
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: returning production of any Power five team, which is certainly meaningful.

853
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: I am going to harken back though, to what I

854
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: said a year ago about Tennessee, and that is it's

855
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: about trust, babe. Oh my god, it's about trust, babe. Okay,

856
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: explain yourself. I am not gonna go where I went

857
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: a year ago with TCU because I just don't trust

858
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Hill. And I know it's not all his fault.

859
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: This is more of a me thing, not a hymn thing,

860
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: just laying my heart out there for everyone. Some of

861
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: it was his fault. He got a lot of drop passes.

862
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,439
Speaker 1: A year ago. There was a revolving door at wide

863
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: receiver because guys kept getting hurt. You can't blame it

864
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: all on Kenny Hill, but you can't blame a chunk

865
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: of it on him. He made a lot of dumb throws,

866
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: a lot of bad mistakes, and quite frankly, you just

867
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: can't do that. You can't do that. For as good

868
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: as he was to start his college football career at

869
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: Texas A and M, that's how inconsistent he was this

870
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: past year at TCU. There were times where I wondered

871
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: if he was really interested in playing or if he

872
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: had just mailed it in. Felt like he had killer instinct.

873
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: To me, maybe that's too harsh of criticism, but that

874
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: was what I was left with at the end of

875
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: TCU's season a year ago, and for that reason, I

876
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: don't know to what end I'm willing to subscribe again

877
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen just left a bad taste of my mouth.

878
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,959
Speaker 1: That's all rational. That being said, there is a ton

879
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: to like here because Kyle Hicks also comes back. In

880
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: addition to Kenny Hill, They've got four senior offensive linemen,

881
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: including Austin Schlottman, who's a big deal at center. The

882
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: back seven of their defense is loaded. All of their linebackers,

883
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: including their leading tackler, return, and they've got a workable

884
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: schedule which is mostly backloaded. In November, when teams like

885
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: Texas and Baylor will probably be more experienced, it'll be

886
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: tougher than if you had them early. It sets up

887
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: pretty well for TCU. The only real question I have

888
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: is along the line Josh carroway self, Cavante Turpin. He's

889
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: a minidod alert for me, Mini dood alert. We don't

890
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: play mini doodle now, No, I'm just telling you, he's

891
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: a literal mini dude. Yeah. So, I think if you

892
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: want to be optimistic about TCU, the canvas is there.

893
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: It's there for you to paint your picture of what

894
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: a successful season looks like. I'm just I'm not going

895
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: to engage on that level with TCU again. I'm going

896
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: to say eight and four. That's what I have down

897
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: here as well. And I think it's the Kenny Hill

898
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: pulled back factor. It's the inconsistency from receivers as talented

899
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: as they are. It's an identity thing they lose. You

900
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: didn't mention Doug Meachum. He goes over to Kansas to

901
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: run their offense. Honey Comby's still there, and they promote

902
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: I think the running backs coach to a co coordinator job,

903
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: so some transitions along the staff. I just I don't

904
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: know what to expect from TCU. You know, you look

905
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: at the problems that they had last year. I'm not

906
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: sure how they've addressed everything. Hopefully it's just a health thing.

907
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's an identity thing. Hopefully it's a motivational thing.

908
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: If then, you know, then you can see nine or

909
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 2: ten wins, if everything is clicking and they stay healthy.

910
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 2: You know, Gary Patterson with time and experience to reshuffle things,

911
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: seems like a good thing. I'm going to say eight

912
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 2: and four. I think some things get better, somethings stay

913
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 2: as is. I don't see it with this schedule, especially

914
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 2: the stretch. And you mentioned a workable schedule, but there's

915
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 2: some chunks in the schedule, they have Texas and Oklahoma

916
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: and consecutive weeks in November, and then early on in

917
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: the season, sort of late September, early October, Oklahoma State

918
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: on the road, West Virginia and then Kansas State on

919
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 2: the road. So a variety of styles one after the other.

920
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 2: I don't know those are all the defenses there, you know, maybe,

921
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: say for West Virginia should be a tricky enough that

922
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 2: I don't think TCU is able to pull away.

923
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: So I have eight and four. The other thing I'll

924
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: add here, I don't want to pan over the defense

925
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: because they do have a lot coming back in the

926
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: back seven. This defense has yet to return to the

927
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: glory days of a couple of years ago, right, I mean,

928
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: at some point they need to stop giving up big plays.

929
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 2: I erase the entirety of the twenty fifteen season, including

930
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 2: the bowl season of TCU, So I don't even know

931
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 2: what you're talking.

932
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: Oh, right, of course, at some point they got to

933
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: stop giving up big plays. They got to start being

934
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: disruptive again. The only good part of their defense, the

935
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: only consistently good part of their defense from a year ago,

936
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: was a pass rush. They need to be all around

937
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: more consistent in order for this team to take another

938
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: step forward and maybe try to live up to some

939
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 1: of that hype. I don't even know if there is hype.

940
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm just making that up as a whole. That's how

941
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: I feel about TCU. Sort of ambivalent. I'm going to

942
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: go eight and four. All right, we were Now we're

943
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: talking about Iowa State. Please? What I am excited about

944
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: this team? Why? Good question? Okay, good question. This is

945
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: the program to follow if you have no rooting interest

946
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: to the Big twelve, if you just want to invest

947
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: in a story Dan that's going to be fun to

948
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: watch over the next two to three years. I think

949
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: I think Iowa States where it's at. We got a

950
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: lot of people who own this show and they say, Wow,

951
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm listening in Australia. Who should I root for? You're

952
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: telling Australians root for Iowa State? Oh kind am, Yeah,

953
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: the hell is wrong with you. Matt Campbell's first year

954
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: in ames last year they went three to nine. A

955
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: lot of improvement from start to finish. There are some

956
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: good pieces coming back from a year ago. He did

957
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: a good job recruiting in the offseason. At a minimum,

958
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: this is a program that no longer feels as stagnant

959
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: as it did at the end of the Paul Roades era.

960
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's doing some stuff. Defense

961
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: is going to be a problem. They're gonna get overpowered

962
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: by a lot of the better attacks in the Big twelve.

963
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the offensive line. They got experienced, but

964
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: most of their starts from a year ago are gone.

965
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: So that's going to be a work in progress. To

966
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 1: keep Jacob Park safe, open up holes for Mike Warren.

967
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: The defense, you know, that's just going to be where

968
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: it's at. It's going to be a mess. I am

969
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: excited though about my doodle Art. A gentleman. You may

970
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: have heard of him by the name of Alan Lazard.

971
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: Sorry six five two twenty three, Alan Lazard. I have

972
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: a storied history with mister Lazard. Please tell we are

973
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 1: nothing if not friends, honest brokers here on the solid

974
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: verbal den I've never publicly admitted this. I've had grave

975
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: difficulty getting this gentleman's name correct really over the past

976
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: two It's just like a mental block for me. Two

977
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: years ago. You can go back and find a preview.

978
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: I may have edited it out, but at least the

979
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 1: first time through, I referred to him as Alan Lizard. Okay,

980
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 1: and then I realized the air in my way is

981
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: A couple weeks later and I started calling him in

982
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: true Eastern PA form Alan Lazard, which was also wrong.

983
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: Now I'm back officially on the Allan Lazard train. But

984
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: the bigger point that I have, in addition to the

985
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: fact that he's a thousand yard receiver, he's a big dude.

986
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: He's going to be an NFL prospect, probably get drafted

987
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: next year in the senior year, clearly Jacob Park's top target.

988
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: The larger point is that we've got options now for

989
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: the coming season. I've sort of been workshopping a few

990
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: things that I think of real potential. Here. I'm upset already.

991
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm pre upset. I'm gonna give you two options. I

992
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: want to tell you which I should go with, because

993
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not, I am going with

994
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: one of them. This better be better than your four

995
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: syllable guys. Option A huh charred by Alan Lazard.

996
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm I'm really gotten. I really have fingers crossed

997
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 2: for Option B because it's the.

998
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: Big twelve Texas Tech. Texas Tech gonna get charred by

999
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard. Okay, I'm waiting. It's a slogan. It's like

1000
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: Body by Jake. Now, I got it. It's not a nickname.

1001
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: It's more than that, and it could be if it

1002
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, it could be the name of his

1003
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: restaurant or a showing food network Charred by Alan. You

1004
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: don't like it, I'm I'm ready for be. Option B

1005
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: would be if I want to return to my roots

1006
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: as an Eastern Pennsylvanian with a slightly Philadelphia influenced accent. Okay,

1007
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 1: the Duke of Hazzard Alan Lazzard. But it's not it's name.

1008
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: He's dangerous, he drives a Dodge Charger. He wants to

1009
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: date your sister. He's the Duke of Hazzard, Alan Lazzard.

1010
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: Why don't we just call call ioways say it el passego,

1011
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: el passe coo. Yeah, because Jacob Park is really good,

1012
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: even though he has a weird skin, beret haircut. I

1013
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen what he looks like. It's

1014
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 1: very it's very strange.

1015
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think we just accept Alan Lazard Alan

1016
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 2: Lazard for who he is. Now I was I was

1017
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 2: thinking about these all day. Dan a workshop. You're you're

1018
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 2: just gonna toss them in.

1019
00:54:58,800 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: The waste basket.

1020
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 2: I think we got to keep going, ty, I think

1021
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 2: we got to keep workshopping chard by Lazart. I'll accept

1022
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 2: that one ahead of whatever the hell you said was

1023
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 2: option B.

1024
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: What do you think about being team? Then you really

1025
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: ruined the whole night for me.

1026
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 2: Iowa State is going to be good, perhaps eventually, if

1027
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 2: they recruit well on defense, if they're able to stay

1028
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 2: healthy on offense.

1029
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,959
Speaker 1: We like Jacob Park. You skimmed over the fact that

1030
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: Joe Lanning, who started out the season at quarterback for

1031
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: them last year, is now they're starting mid linebacker. Hell yeah,

1032
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: I hope he's awesome. Would you say he's the quarterback

1033
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: of the defense? Yes, he is the quarterback of the defense.

1034
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: In so many ways, Iowa State was in games last year.

1035
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: They blew a lead against I think it was Baylor,

1036
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: and they lost a shootout, but they were in even

1037
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: though they went I think they went three to nine

1038
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: last season. They were competitive, they didn't back down. They

1039
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 1: played motivated football. I was very excited to see that

1040
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: because the Big twelve was kind of stanky last year

1041
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: in a number of ways, and the emergence of a

1042
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,760
Speaker 1: competitive Iowa State and even to a slight lesser extent,

1043
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: the emergence of a competitive Kansas team was at least

1044
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: you're ready tie. Yeah, incremental improved, incremental improvements. I think

1045
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: they have Northern Iowa again this year and the game

1046
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: they lost last year, so hopefully they can flip that game.

1047
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: They can hopefully flip maybe either the Kansas State game

1048
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: or who else were they close against the lost the

1049
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 1: Oklahoma game. They're probably not going to beat Oklahoma this year,

1050
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: but if they can flip that or Oklahoma State they

1051
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: were competitive in I could see a four and eight

1052
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 1: campaign for Iowa states. I could. Yeah, to me, this

1053
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: is like the new drive for six. I don't know.

1054
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where six is coming from. I'm not

1055
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: sure I know where five is coming from. The schedule

1056
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: gets weird in November. You got three or four on

1057
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: the road, including your final two at Baylor at k State.

1058
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: You'll probably be able to throw against something. Teams definitely

1059
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 1: should be Yeah, lackluster defenses. West Virginia comes to mind.

1060
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: They should be be able to be had in the

1061
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: secondary and Texas Tech that's kind of their mo We'll

1062
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: talk about them next. But I'm going to say I'm

1063
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: gonna say five and seven at best, four and eight

1064
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: more realistically, Okay, but I'm excited. I like Matt Campbell.

1065
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the Duke of Hazzard, Allen

1066
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: Lazard and Mike Warren and Jakwan Bailey on defense. So

1067
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: I think they take another step forward. I'm excited to

1068
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: see where they go. I think them getting incrementally better,

1069
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: even if they're not going to make a bowl that's

1070
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: meaningful for the Big Twelve. They need to have I

1071
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: think more parody between top and bottom, and I think

1072
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: this will help get them there. Agree, all right, let's

1073
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: go to Texas Tech. Dan, Let's do it. I am

1074
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: obligated to play this sound every time I talk about

1075
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. We put a ton of research into these previews,

1076
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 1: as you because we're covering a bunch of teams each week,

1077
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: So you know, don't don't pan it, don't kill us.

1078
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: Excuse me if we pan over some stuff here and there,

1079
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: if we don't get into the full minutia and the

1080
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: machinations of each team, all right, that's not what we

1081
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: always do here. It did dawn on me though, that

1082
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: there's really no need to overthink Texas Tech. The preview

1083
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: has been exactly the same each of the last three years.

1084
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: The names change, the preview is always the same. True

1085
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: it does every year every year. It's well, Tech's got

1086
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: a good offense, they're gonna throw it for a ton

1087
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: of yards. They got to play better defense. They play

1088
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: better defense, they're gonna be much better shape. But offense,

1089
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: there'll be a ton of FUNNL watch. We just we

1090
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna stop anybody. And I feel

1091
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: like we're there again this year. They lose Pat Mahomes.

1092
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: Their defensive lines of total reboot for their top five

1093
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: tacklers are gone.

1094
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah they were super beat up last year too on defense.

1095
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 2: But yes, the point stands.

1096
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: But I'm just, you know, I'm very blase on Tech

1097
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: Tech again. I need Cliff Kingsbury to prove to me

1098
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: that he's got more in the tank than just a

1099
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: really fun offense. Okay, I think that's all right.

1100
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 2: They have promising quarterbacks, they have speed on offense. They're

1101
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 2: going to put up points, they're gonna put up yards.

1102
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 2: The defense, you know, if it's not a disaster, that

1103
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 2: will be a surprise, because that's what we've come to expect.

1104
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's more to say about Texas

1105
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 2: Tech at this point. I think it would actually be

1106
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 2: wasting our breaths to say anything that we already have

1107
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 2: not said.

1108
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm fine with that.

1109
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 2: I would also add, though, that two of the quarterbacks

1110
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 2: on the depth chart their names are Payne Sullens and

1111
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 2: McLain Carter, which are aggressively Texas quarterback.

1112
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: Now, it's very aggressive.

1113
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I have them down as five and seven,

1114
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 2: five and seven. Maybe when a shootout they didn't, I

1115
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 2: go five and seven here.

1116
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Final team, Final team, Dan Rock, Chalk Jayhawk. Mmmmmmm.

1117
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to ask you how high the ceiling

1118
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: is because that's a weird way to phrase it for

1119
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: where I think Kansas is going to be this year. Instead,

1120
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: let me turn it around a little bit. Let me

1121
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: ask you how much higher do you think the floor

1122
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: is in twenty seventeen as opposed to twenty sixteen?

1123
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: A significant distance, because if the floor is one in eleven,

1124
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 2: two and ten, I think even not even sort of

1125
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 2: based on win loss record, but just what they look

1126
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 2: like on the field. They keep infusing with JC guys

1127
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 2: the defensive line looks really good. I like the ability

1128
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 2: on offense to find playmakers. The talent is in a

1129
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: place that's much higher than it was under Charlie Weiss,

1130
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 2: and I don't think that can be overlooked, and that

1131
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 2: includes coaching talents. They hired Doug Meachum. So I expect

1132
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 2: improvement in scheme, in identity on offense. It's going to

1133
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 2: take a while to really look like a robust, big

1134
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 2: twelve offense. But schedules fine, it's backloaded. I don't think

1135
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 2: they're winning five games, but can they go threatening three

1136
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 2: and nine, four and eight, A couple breaks here and there,

1137
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: Maybe they play a team with an injured quarterback and

1138
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 2: pick off a few passes.

1139
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.

1140
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 2: I don't expect it's another drive to six team, but

1141
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna say three and nine, but an

1142
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 2: incrementally improved three and nine.

1143
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm interested in Kansas primarily because of the way that

1144
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: David Beatty built this year's version of the team. He'll

1145
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: Connelly referred to it as surfing the transfer market as

1146
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: if they were at English soccer school. But there are transfers,

1147
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: there are jucos stepping in plug and play guys to

1148
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: help stabilize the ship, because the problem at Kansas was

1149
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: not just limited to schematics. It was talent. They need,

1150
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: they need bodies, they need better players, and I think

1151
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,959
Speaker 1: he's trying to do his part to build depth this year.

1152
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, offensively, last year they were a huge mess.

1153
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: This year they lose a good chunk of their secondary

1154
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: from a year ago, which wasn't great to begin with,

1155
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: but again, that's gonna be a problem spot. You're right

1156
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: to say that there's a murderer's row starting in October

1157
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: and then all throughout the rest of the season. Here

1158
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: is what happens to Kansas in terms of their schedule

1159
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: between late September when they're on buy and the end

1160
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: of the year. Texas Tech at Iowa State at TCU,

1161
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: K State, Baylor at Texas, Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, all

1162
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: in consecutive weeks. I don't know if they win any

1163
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: of those games. And Bill Connolly was wise to point

1164
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: out in looking at that schedule that really the hit

1165
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: or miss game, the Bell Weather game for Kansas is

1166
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: going to be Ohio in Week three. Ohio, which he's

1167
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: got projected as the one hundred and third best S

1168
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: and P plus team in the country. He's saying, that's

1169
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: the bel Weather game, and I agree. I agree. You

1170
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: got three games in the beginning that are probably winnable.

1171
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,919
Speaker 1: Maybe you pick off a game at some point later

1172
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: in the year. But I don't know how you get

1173
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: to four wins. If you're Kansas, you can go three

1174
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: to nine still improve drastically because they've been so bad,

1175
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: and I think feel pretty good about where things might

1176
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: go in twenty eighteen.

1177
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 2: So they have as I look at this, quarterback wise,

1178
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 2: if we're worried about their defense, guys who will throw

1179
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: it all over them, A good chance of guys who

1180
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 2: are throwing it all over them. Maybe not a guy

1181
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 2: until that well, Texas Tech probably will, but other than

1182
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, I'm not fully confident in.

1183
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: What Billy Greer. Billy, We'll see what happens Billy Greer. Yeah,

1184
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: in terms of depth of dangerous quarterbacks, it's a good

1185
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: year to be rebuilding a secondary, a bad school. We'd

1186
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: a bad program or bad with a bad squad or

1187
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: an underwhelming squad. So they always seem to put the

1188
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: fear of life into TCU every year, and that's on

1189
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 1: the road this year it's in Fort Worth. They're going

1190
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 1: to beat somebody that we don't have it down as

1191
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: right now. They are going to take somebody down that

1192
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: seems improbable. That's what I will say. All right, Well,

1193
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: in closing here, since we've gone through all ten teams, yes,

1194
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: let's let's tier off these teams. Let's let's put them

1195
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: in like four groups. I think we both agree that

1196
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is tops. Mm hm. You think they're alone on

1197
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: the top. I think they're alone in the top tier.

1198
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: I would put in Tier two Oklahoma State, Texas, and

1199
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: TCU probably in that order, Okay. I suspect that you

1200
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: would put k State in that tier. I would, Okay,

1201
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: behind TCU. I have k State kind of right on

1202
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: the border of tier two and three, and then I

1203
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: go Baylor sixth. I go bail in a better place

1204
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: than West Virginia right now, I think so because I

1205
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: sort of have that too. Yeah, West Virginia right on

1206
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: the cusp there. If there's a gray area between tier

1207
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: three and four, I put West Virginia there. Even though

1208
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: they're again preseason top twenty, which for the life of me,

1209
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: I can't understand they are totally rebuilding. I really think

1210
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: you got to temper your expectations. I still would argue

1211
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt factor is pretty high there.

1212
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: And then for me, I go eighth, Iowa State, Ninth

1213
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Who I'm just I'm probably putting them ninth.

1214
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Not because of actually believing they'll finish worse than Iowa State,

1215
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: but I'm just fed up with Tech's Tech. Okay, on

1216
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: a personal level, I'm very fed up with them, okay.

1217
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: And then tenth is Kansas. You know, a bunch of transfers,

1218
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: plug and play guys. I'm curious as to how they

1219
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: Lord Doug meetchim away and what that could do for

1220
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: a Kansas offense. But uh, three and nine, I think

1221
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: this is a ceiling for them.

1222
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 2: Wow, down, down down, Yeah, all right, I mostly agree.

1223
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 2: Should we check in with our parallel universe Serius XM

1224
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 2: version of the show, Let's do It, Ladies and gentlemen,

1225
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Welcome back, SiriusXM The Solid Verbal eight eight.

1226
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: Eight, nine nine, nine. Tune tu Tim give us a

1227
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: call in the insta Loom hotline. We are talking Big twelve.

1228
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: What will Oklahoma look like without vod stoops. It's going

1229
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: to be a change, no doubt about it. What can

1230
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: Texas do with new coach Tom Herman? Will he bring

1231
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: some much needed energy to the forty acres? Gotta be honest,

1232
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: big question right there. Mike Gundy has a big offense

1233
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: this year. Will it be enough for those cowboys to

1234
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: make some noise? Gonna be a fun fall in stillwater,

1235
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. We know Cliff Kingsberry has the looks,

1236
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: but will he find the defense? Some new questions and Lodock,

1237
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Should we be hearing sirens warning about

1238
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: dan O Holgerson's air raid? God, wait and see? Is

1239
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: can he Hill the answer for TCU? And can Gary

1240
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Patterson get this Hornbrock team back to where they were?

1241
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: Only time will tell. What about Kansas State? Are they

1242
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: sneaking up on America? And what about Kansas, Iowa State, Baylor?

1243
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Could they make some noise? A huge question, no doubt

1244
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 1: about it. Eight eight, nine, nine on tune Turn ten,

1245
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: give us a buzz on the install Loum hotline. And

1246
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: now because you've requested it on that hotline, Disbussyo, I

1247
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: love those ties. Ty. You brought it back in, Yes,

1248
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 1: you brought it back down. Oh it felt right, Ty

1249
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: felt right? We got to pigive the people what they demand.

1250
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: It felt good.

1251
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to know it's out there, ty Just to

1252
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 2: know it's out there. For not listening to podcasts, it

1253
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 2: felt good.

1254
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: It feels good to be back in the swing of

1255
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: things here talking about twenty seventeen college football. I do

1256
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: have five nuggets though, Tye, please please, we don't want

1257
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: to leave out the aa C nuggets. Yeah.

1258
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 2: Please, I've got a group of five nuggs. It's power

1259
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 2: six nuggets. Here's what you need to know going into

1260
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 2: the season. According to me, you probably don't agree with

1261
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 2: all of this.

1262
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Number five. Randy Edzel's back. Yeah, dream job? Can we play?

1263
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Can we play? Sexier than Edsel? Throughout the course of

1264
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: the season, because people really got into that. Absolutely, I

1265
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: had gotten through. I had my mom texting me about

1266
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: Randy Edseel's overall sexiness. Okay for me, but it was fun.

1267
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: William Shatner, Oh, you're you're playing it now?

1268
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 2: I'm asking you, ty Is William Shatner objectively sexier than Randy?

1269
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: No, you gotta go Edzel. I think I'm going on

1270
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: Etzel's younger.

1271
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it probably has his own hair, sure, but he

1272
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 2: hired RTT Lashley, who has been at Auburn, and Auburn

1273
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 2: was looking for a change offensively, so he's running the

1274
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 2: offense that you caught next. SMU has a literal large receiver,

1275
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 2: and he is a big receiver in every sense the word.

1276
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:58,919
Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton is probably one of the best three receivers

1277
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 2: in college football. Is borderline unguardable, especially when he plays

1278
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 2: in the American He is awesome. He's really good. You

1279
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,879
Speaker 2: should watch SMU. If there's a like a weird random Wednesday,

1280
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:11,759
Speaker 2: Thursday or Friday night game, watch Courtland Sutton.

1281
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: He's worth it.

1282
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 2: What about what about Tom Selleck? Oh, Seleck is way

1283
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 2: sexier than it. You gotta go with this passroom slowly,

1284
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 2: not even close. I would point out that Riley Ferguson

1285
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,799
Speaker 2: is really, really good. He is the quarterback of Memphis.

1286
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 2: He of course transferred from Tennessee a little bit ago,

1287
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 2: even without Chip Long, who Notre Dame pulled away unceremoniously.

1288
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: He's very, very good.

1289
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 2: He finished last season with an eleven to one touchdown

1290
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 2: interception ratio in November was super efficient.

1291
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I like him a lot.

1292
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 2: I like Riley Ferguson, I like Mike Norvella everything is

1293
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 2: happening from Memphis. He's a He's an even bigger prospect

1294
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 2: than just good in college. You could be a good

1295
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 2: pro prospect ideal size. What about John lithgow Ah Edseel, Yeah,

1296
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 2: you gotta go. I think you gotta go.

1297
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: Go on ed Soel. There's a there's a sportiness to

1298
01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 1: Edsel that I don't think Lythgo is ever gonna match.

1299
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 1: Houston has Ed Oliver, and Oliver is going to destroy

1300
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: everybody that tries to block at Oliver. Also, they have

1301
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, but mostly they have Ed Oliver. Yeah, Major

1302
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,759
Speaker 1: Appleoy takes over Kyle Allen is fun, but at Oliver Finally,

1303
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: and this is the one you're gonna appreciate your guy,

1304
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: Quintin Flowers, Tie, my boy, he's got a very very

1305
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: soft schedule, my boy.

1306
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 2: Seventeen, Charlie Strong takes over at USF. Quinn Flowers is back,

1307
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 2: A ton is back on both sides, which isn't always

1308
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 2: the best because that defense wasn't particularly good, but right

1309
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 2: spot of that defense. Who is the leading returning tackler

1310
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 2: for the American Athletic Conference Tie, It's a great name

1311
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna say it right now.

1312
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: Augiez augez Jay, do we say it like John Miller,

1313
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: Sanchez Sanchas, Augie au g g I E Sanjay, I'm excited. Yeah.

1314
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,919
Speaker 2: So those are your five American you know, Navy's rebuildings,

1315
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff. Well, hopefully Willie Fritz improves that tulane.

1316
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, it should be a really fun conference this year.

1317
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 2: All right, Well that does it for Big twelve. That

1318
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 2: does it for some American nuggets. Next week we're doing

1319
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 2: the Big ten. Next week we are doing the Big ten. Yes,

1320
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 2: that sounds right. We're starting big. We're starting literally big.

1321
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 2: I have one more sexier than Randy Edzel for you, Tie, Yeah,

1322
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 2: let's go with.

1323
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:41,719

1325
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,479

1326
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 2: long history of being a good looking guy.

1327
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:55,240
