1
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: And just like that, we're back another episode of Late

2
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: Kick extra ready for your listening pleasure. I am Josh Pate.

3
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: You guys have done a phenomenal job, to say the least,

4
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: filling the inbox. This week. We got everything from train

5
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: hopping and tornado chasing stories to what if Texas became

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: an independent? If we kick someone out of a conference,

7
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: who should we put in there? We got a million

8
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: different questions. That would be a record, not quite a million,

9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: but we are jam packed as usual, and a quick

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for all

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: the five star reviews. We're approaching four hundred now. I

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: think we've got three hundred and seventy nine right now

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: as I record at two am Wednesday morning. Really fun.

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: It's so quiet around here, but thank you so much

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: for that. Keep those five star reviews coming. The important

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: people notice the more five star reviews we get, and

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: that includes people in the podcasting world who are responsible

18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: for promoting our shows to a bigger audience. So thank

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: you so much for that. You help us out more

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: than you could ever imagine. You know the ways to

21

Speaker 1: and Sunday night on the twenty four to seven Sports

25
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. And now with all the boring call to

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: action stuff out of the way, let's dive in. It

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: is this week's edition of Late Kick Extra. Gabe leads

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: us off with a question then pretty much everyone wanted

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: to know, and that is what are my thoughts on

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: the Big ten schedule release? And this is happening well

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning, so right before we send this off to edit,

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: the first thing that stands out to me is the format.

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: You know they're going to start after all of the

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: concern about is Rutger is going to cause the season

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: to be canceled. They're going to start on Labor Day

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: weekend the third through the fifth in September, so they're

37
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: starting largely at what would be considered on time. You've

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: got two scheduled bye weeks, including every team having a

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: bye week either the second or the third to last

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: week of the season, which means you have this kind

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: of reservoir that you could spill over unplayed games into

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: you Also, since you play the conference championship game, on

43
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: December fifth, scheduled at least on December fifth. You give

44
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: yourself this two week window between when you want to

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: play your conference title game and when you really need

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: to play your conference title game. Remember the SEC is

47
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: not playing theirs until December nineteenth, and thirdly, building themselves

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: in as much will room as possible. They're also playing

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: a cross division opponent for everyone the last weekend of

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: the regular season, which means theoretically you could dump that

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: if you needed to to make up a game or

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: if you just can't play that game, and you would

53
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: have your division standing still intact. Wisconsin to me the

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: big winner here, Big congratulations to Paul Christ. Not only

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: do they miss Penn State and they miss Ohio's, they

56
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: get Michigan the week after Michigan plays Ohio State. They

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: also get Minnesota at home early in the year, and

58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: they have a bye before they play Iowa. You couldn't

59
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: have shaken it out any better if you yourself made

60
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: the conference schedule. Maryland. Woof, woof, woof. How about this

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: six game stretch to end the year? They play Wisconsin,

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: they play at Penn State, they play Ohio State at Michigan, Minnesota,

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: they play all of those games in the final six

64
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: games of the season. Also, Taliatungua Bailoa is it going

65
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: to be eligible at quarterback? Is he going to get

66
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: his transfer waiver approved? Who knows? There. Also, the placement

67
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: of some of these games is important to note. Ohio

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: State plays Penn State and that is the second leg

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: of a back to back road game stretch for Ohio State. Now,

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: how bigger crowd is going to be this year? Where

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: we have crowds at all? Is playing back to back

72
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: games on the road nearly as stressful and taxing as

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: it normally is. I'm asking a lot of questions that

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: I myself don't have the answers to. Also, Michigan and

75
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: plays Ohio State and they're at Ohio State the week

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: after they're on the road, So a back to back

77
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: road stretch there that caps with a trip to Columbus,

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Ohio for Michigan, and again the Big Ten championship game

79
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: December fifth. Those are just some of the takeaways. We're

80
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: going to talk about that a lot more on Thursday

81
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Night's Late Kick Live. So you want to tune into that,

82
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Let's get right into it. Jeff, I've never felt buzz

83
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: in college football recruiting, where social media and message boards, YouTube,

84
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: they all seem to be on a similar page about

85
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: a program's direction. Until now with Miami, it seems like

86
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: all the signs are pointing towards them being able to

87
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: shake up college football. What is happening down there? This

88
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: is it, Jeff. We talked about this on Late Kick

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: Live Sunday night. This is the subculture, it's the undercurrent,

90
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: it's the pulse that is college football in the NFL

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: and pro sports. It's pretty much all on the radar.

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty much all reported. All the practices are open

93
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: to the public. They have to make all the injuries

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: public none and so there's not a whole lot of

95
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: behind the scenes information you get relative to the huge

96
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: sums of behind the scenes information you could have at

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: the college level, that subculture, that undercurrent, that pulse. When

98
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: something's brewing, you feel it there. First, the general college

99
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: football public kind of laughs it off. Now some people

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: genuinely just don't believe it, and then some other people

101
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: are laughing as kind of a defense mechanism, hoping the

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: buzz isn't founded in legitimacy really, because they may be

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: your rival fans. So with Miami right now, there is buzz.

104
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: Oh it's been there for about a month, two months,

105
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: and in some cases it's been there since Manny Diaz

106
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: got hired. But right now they are really heating up

107
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: and recruiting. And it's not that they've landed all the

108
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: kids they want yet they are either trending for or

109
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: have landed some of those kids. And what's happening is

110
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: they seem to be in the process of properly harnessing

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: kind of a vision based recruiting strategy. They don't have

112
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: on field product to sell yet. They're not coming off

113
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: a you know, A and two campaign where they went

114
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: to the conference championship game and nearly missed a playoff spot.

115
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: That's not what Miami was last year in year one

116
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: er Di Diaz. But what they're able to do right

117
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: now is they're able to package up this vision and

118
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: they're selling kids, namely kids in South Florida, on what

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Miami could be if they stayed home. And James Williams

120
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: bought into it. We all thought he was going to

121
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: Georgia and all of a sudden, he's a five star

122
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: athlete from down there in South Florida. He commits to

123
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Miami shuts his recruitment down. Now you got all eyes

124
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: on Jason Taylor, five star defensive back from South Florida.

125
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: Leonard Taylor commits later this week, I think Thursday or Friday,

126
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: So depending on when you're listening, he may already have committed.

127
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: And Leonard Taylor is a five star defensive tackle. These

128
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: guys are all from the same area down there, same

129
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: school in some cases, and so if they land those

130
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: kinds of guys, even coming off a down performance, a

131
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: subpar record, what it does is it makes everyone understandably say,

132
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: wait a second. If they're landing these guys even having

133
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: been pretty poorous on the field last year, well, number one,

134
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like they'll be poorous much longer. In

135
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: number two, What will their recruiting be like if they

136
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: are humming on the field now, the defense mechanism is, oh,

137
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: don't worry, you know they'll all decommit. Miami will barely

138
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: make up old game if they do this year. I've

139
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: seen a lot of people say that this week because

140
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: we again we talked about this on Late Kick Live Thursday.

141
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: You wouldn't wager on that statement. First off, most people

142
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: just don't believe that you say it because it makes

143
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: you feel better. You don't believe all these kids are

144
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: going to decomit from Miami if they do end up

145
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: committing there. You don't really believe that. You would never

146
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: wager your actual money on that statement. Number two, I

147
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't be sleeping on Miami in twenty twenty. They're probably

148
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: uniquely poised to surprise people this year because of the

149
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: uncertainty elsewhere. And again, that's something we talked about Thursday night.

150
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: If you want to go find that video, it is

151
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: on the twenty four to seven Sports YouTube channel. Next up, Andrew,

152
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: how different would Georgia be perceived nationally if guys like

153
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Lawrence Kazier and DeAndre Swift were healthy for the whole

154
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: season last year and the SEC championship game, Well, Andrew, obviously,

155
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: it would have given them an opportunity maybe to try

156
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: and push the ball down the field a little bit

157
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: more against LSU. Remember they lost Don Blaylock in that

158
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: game too. It was just a confluence of horrible, horrible

159
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: events for Georgia offensively, But that's in the past. Here's

160
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: the way I'd do this. I would spin it a

161
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: different way, But you got to be careful. It doesn't

162
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: need to sound like you're making excuses if you're Georgia,

163
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: if you're Kirby Smart. But what you want to make

164
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: sure people remember is you want to make sure people

165
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: remember that you were injured, and you want to publicly

166
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: to your players sell that we don't make excuses around here.

167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: But privately, you also don't want people to talk about

168
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: how you just got blown off the field against LSU.

169
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: So what you want to do is subtly, you want

170
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: to make sure people remember, well, we were gutted offensively

171
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: by the time we got to that LSU game. I mean,

172
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: any chance that we had probably went out the window

173
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: with those injuries. And what that does is it kind

174
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: of insulates you from being criticized for being handled at

175
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: the hands of LSU, and it makes people think, Okay,

176
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: well next time we get there and maybe we're healthy,

177
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: different story. Next question is from Twitter. By the way,

178
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: at Late Kick Josh on Twitter is how you can

179
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: follow me and listen Guys. As the season gets closer,

180
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: we'll only have more traction and more conversation on platforms

181
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: like Twitter. A lot of you converse with me back

182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: and forth during the week using Twitter and as you know,

183
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: I make myself about as available as anyone in this

184
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: business does because I understand at least that you're the

185
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: reason I'm here to begin with. So I'm happy, more

186
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: than happy to talk to you. It's kind of my job.

187
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: What else am I going to do? So anyway, m

188
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: one K asks you always talk about how there's only

189
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: so many wins to go around in a conference and

190
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: someone has to take the l's. Well, I'd like to

191
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: know your thoughts on which middle of the pack SEC

192
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: program could elevate themselves by leaving the conference. My example

193
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: would be Auburn. All right. Well, first off, Auburn I

194
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: don't view as being middle of the pack, but i'll

195
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: entertain that for the record. Cant Lucky would be my pick.

196
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: Kentucky is middle of the pack in the SEC. If

197
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: you were to be able to perfectly package Kentucky as

198
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: they are right now and drop them in let's say

199
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: the ACC, suffice to say, they would be much more

200
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: thought of as a national contender, as a conference contender,

201
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: as a New Year's Day Bowl contender than they are

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: in the SEC. Go back to Auburn, though, and we

203
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: can draw Kentucky in here too. The trick to answering

204
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: this question. It's all hypothetical. Number one, that's the trick.

205
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: But number two, the trick is you can't just assume

206
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: that you'd place these teams elsewhere, but you'd maintain everything

207
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: about the investment and the buy in and basically the

208
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: stuff that being in the pressure cooker of the SEC

209
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: has forced them to do just to keep up. Like

210
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: at Auburn, you were dealing right up the road about

211
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: two two and a half hours with the greatest dynasty

212
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: in all likelihood in the history of the sport. That's

213
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: your rival. Not to mention, your number two rival is

214
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: over Athens knocking on the door of a national championship.

215
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 1: Your number three rival just won a national championship. We've

216
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: discussed this many times. But what does that force you

217
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: to do if you want to even stay relevant? Think

218
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: about the insane amounts of buying and commitment you have

219
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: to have. Well, that just makes Auburn relevant nationally. And

220
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: you're thinking to yourself, and I understand the train of thought. Okay,

221
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: well if we could take all that, but we put

222
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: him in a less competitive conference, then maybe they'd shine

223
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: more nationally. Yeah, if you could drop them in there,

224
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: and guarantee that all that stuff remains unchanged. But I

225
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: think that that pressure forces a lot of what Auburn

226
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: is and I don't know that you could just manufacture

227
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: that if they weren't constantly feeling that pressure. Next up,

228
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: Gators are Stupid back for a fourth straight week. I

229
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: want to stress that that is not my sentiment. That

230
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: is the name of the poster, and he is asking

231
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: something that is certainly not derogatory towards Georgia. This week,

232
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Gators are Stupid asks what do you think the season

233
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: opener atmosphere between Georgia and Clemson will be like in

234
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: Charlotte in twenty twenty one? Well, at this point I'd

235
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: be jacked, to be honest with you. If you took

236
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: the Campbell Fighting Camels and put them on the field

237
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: against my high school alma mater, Harris County High School,

238
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: and we played in a sand lot somewhere, I'd be

239
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: jacked at this point. Think about this answer, though, I mean,

240
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: you got to tell me what twenty twenty holds, and

241
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: no one truly knows what the answer to that is.

242
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: But is a game like the one you just pointed out,

243
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Georgia versus Clemson to open the season twenty twenty one.

244
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: Is that going to be the first or among the

245
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: first legitimate college football games at stadium capacity that we

246
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: will have seen at that point in two years? Because

247
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: that is a distinct possibility. And if that's the case,

248
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: imagine that opening weekend. For that matter. If we can

249
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: get back to normal by next spring, imagine what spring

250
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: games may be like. You could see spring sellouts all

251
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: over the place. So hey, I look forward to anything

252
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: that resembles normalcy at this point. Next up, this one

253
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: is non football. How about this non football question, says Trevor.

254
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: What is the most frightening and most dangerous situation you've

255
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: ever found yourself in? While storm chasing those of you

256
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: who've listened to this regularly. No, sometimes we delve into

257
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: non football related topics because I let you ask anything

258
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: you want to within reason. Of course, within reason, you

259
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: can't ask about our employees' love lives. In most cases,

260
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: I will not go into that. I don't know if

261
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: you ask. If you ask me about Trey Scott someone

262
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: like that, Yeah, I'm a trash tray Scott on here

263
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: and send him kissy face emojis in the slack rooms.

264
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: So back to Trevor's question non football question, most frightening

265
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: and most dangerous situation You've ever been in while storm chasing.

266
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: I've done and participated in storm chasing, both professionally and

267
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: before that as a hobby for better part of fifteen years. Now.

268
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: March third, twenty nineteen is by a sizable margin, the

269
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: most dangerous situation I've ever been in. We were chasing

270
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: in Beauregard, Alabama. We were chasing what ended up being

271
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: a killer EF for tornado. We got about eight tenths

272
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: of a mile away from that core, about to cross

273
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: a highway that we were headed down. We were doing

274
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: what is called core punching, which means approaching a or

275
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: high precipitation super cell from the north, which is terrible

276
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: because you're blinded by rain. You can't see anything frequent

277
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: hail cores in those portions of those super cells. And

278
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: we knew what we had because we had all the

279
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: data in the car, all the fancy equipment that I'm

280
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: proud that I don't have to pay for. And so

281
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: you had a debris ball with a signature well north

282
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: of twenty five thousand feet, which is insane. That's like

283
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: flying into commercial jet and seeing two by fours at

284
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: that altitude crazy. And we had everything maxed out, gait

285
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: to gate, a lot of the nerd alert meteorological type stuff,

286
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: so we knew what we had in front of us,

287
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: but we couldn't see it. I don't know how many

288
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: of you have ever been in a situation where you

289
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: legitimately thought you were facing death or you were in

290
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: a near death sort of situation or experience. That's my time.

291
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: That's when it happened. We're on a rural highway in

292
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: Lee County, Alabama. This is not I sixty five. There's

293
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: not a spot where you can just turn around, you know,

294
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: every few hundred yards, And we knew we had a

295
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: monster on the ground in front of us. These tornadoes

296
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: in the South do not sit still and stay pretty

297
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: like they do in the Midwest normally in the spring.

298
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: They're moving. They're moving south, southwest, north northeast at about

299
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty miles an hour. This one was moving

300
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: about fifty five miles an hour. So anyway, I got

301
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: a couple of first time chasers with me. I do

302
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: not let them know what's happening. One of them's driving.

303
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: I didn't let them know what was happening. I tried

304
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: to maintain calmness, which I don't have that big a

305
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: problem doing, and I did, and I calmly let them

306
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: know we need to turn it around here. They just

307
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: thought we were turning around because the rain and hail

308
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: was too heavy. We turned around, we got out of there.

309
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: It ended up crossing in front of us. We come

310
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: back in behind it, total and complete destruction. We ended

311
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: up pinging ourselves on a map and charting it afterwards.

312
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: A few days afterwards, when the fatality numbers started to

313
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: come in. This was a horrible, horrible tornado. It was

314
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: a high end E four tornado. We had twenty three

315
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: fatalities within a six tens of a mile radius from

316
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: the point that we had been at before we turned around.

317
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: We probably turned around about forty five seconds to a

318
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: minute and a half before the front part of that

319
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: tornado ended up crossing that highway in front of us.

320
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: Ended up being nine tenths of a mile wide at

321
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: that point, by the way, so there was about a

322
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: thirty or forty five second period there that felt like

323
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: you do as a roller coaster starts to go down

324
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: the first steep drop where you don't have your bearings,

325
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: you don't feel grounded. You got that feeling in your stomach.

326
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: There is an unmistakable adrenaline rush, the lights of which

327
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: you could never explain, never duplicate. There's no since you

328
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: could put in your body that duplicates what you feel

329
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: in that moment. Anyone who's ever been in a near

330
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: death experience knows exactly what I'm talking about. That's as

331
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: close to near death as I've ever been. And then

332
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: we went into search and rescue, and it was a

333
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: terrible night and we saw a lot of horrible, horrible things.

334
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: The smell of pine, fresh pine. If you've ever been

335
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: in a heavily wooded area after a tornado comes through,

336
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: it is so thick that it clogs your nostrils. You

337
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: can't breathe at first, just like breathing in freezing cold

338
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: air when you walk outside, if you live in the

339
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: north or northeast, first thing in the morning, it's hard

340
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: to breathe. It's kind of the same way, except instead

341
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: of cold air, it's just the smell of pine everywhere.

342
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: So that was the most frightening and most dangerous situation

343
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: I've been in while stormchasing. Next up, this guy's name,

344
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: as he put it in the podcast review section, is

345
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: they took all the names seven six'. Nine but he

346
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: did have a good. QUESTION i know you said you

347
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: aren't on the Recruiting Rankings, council but you listen in

348
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: on their. Meetings what's taken into account when they rank?

349
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: PLAYERS i, know film and height and weight and drill, time.

350
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: Etc but what else is? There, well all of the,

351
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: above AND i would add with nothing weighted. DISPROPORTIONATELY i

352
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: don't think that they get drunk on a kid having

353
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: a four to three, four even though he can't catch

354
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: and he can't square off an en, route and you

355
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: know he can't process a playbook to save his, life

356
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: but he can run a four to three, Four so

357
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: let's put five stars next to his. Name that's not

358
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: how this. Works and As i've told you, before, No

359
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: i'm not on the Rank Rankings, council BUT i sit

360
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: down on their meetings frequently just for this very. Reason

361
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: when someone asks me a question like you just, ASKED

362
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: i want to be able to honestly answer it instead

363
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: of just guessing my way through. It AND i want

364
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: to experience this from, myself because, see when there was

365
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: a time previous to me being in this, industry WHEN

366
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: i would talk about recruiting AND i, would you, know

367
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: look at it along with you, guys there may have

368
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: been questions in the back of my mind and are

369
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: there various biases in the? Room you, know do they

370
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: really do their due, diligence, this that and the. Other

371
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: all those questions were answered to me first TIME i

372
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: ever set in on a call, here, honestly and then

373
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: the several times after, that it's just been. Validated but

374
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: here's the way it. Happens there are a lot of

375
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: folks on these. Calls there are a lot of different

376
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: viewpoints that get put on the. Table everything gets chopped.

377
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: Up no one's feelings are, immune and it is. Great listen.

378
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: To the first thing there is a major point of

379
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: emphasis on is getting verified. Numbers doesn't matter if a

380
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: kid sends you in A TWITTER dm or an email

381
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: that he's sixty five two forty or that he runs

382
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: a four four. Forty you, know there used to be

383
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: thousands of four to four forties everyone coming out of high.

384
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: SCHOOL i run a four to. Four, well then you

385
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: get them in a camp setting and you lazer time

386
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: them and you found out that for four was actually

387
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: a four to sixty, three which is still not, terrible

388
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: but it's not four to. Four so that's one thing you.

389
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: Want second thing is how many eyeballs can they get

390
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: on a kid and then do their in person observations

391
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: sort of confirm or validate what they've seen on. Tape

392
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: and the other thing that you may be watching for

393
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: is are you dealing with a camp star instead of

394
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: a football, player because the camp setting sometimes is built

395
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: to let certain guys shine in shorts and A t

396
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: shirt and then you strap it up and you put

397
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: pads On friday night and they're a, ghost but they

398
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: test off the. Charts the other question that a lot

399
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: of people ask, about and this is When i'm still

400
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: fascinated by his. Character sometimes you'll get a guy who

401
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: is a five star from the neck down and from

402
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: the neck. Up AS i like to, say there are

403
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of question. Marks there was a GUY i

404
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: don't feel like we need to name, him but very

405
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: recently this last, class who had five of those stars

406
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: next to his name for various parts of the, process

407
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: but his recruitment was a wild, one to say the.

408
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: Least here's What i've. Observed they have to be certain

409
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: character flaws and a guy to even consider dropping him rankings.

410
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: Wise because of, that What i've noticed is good character

411
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: can definitely warrant a little bit of a bump in the,

412
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: ratings but it takes certainty over character flaws to be

413
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: dropping any. Kids that is my. Observation that is not

414
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: a statement from the Rankings council. Themselves so it is very.

415
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: Thorough it is bias. FREE i know that a lot

416
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: of you don't believe. That ALL i can do is

417
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: tell YOU i sit in on these. MEETINGS i would

418
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: tell you. Otherwise the only bias is getting it. Right

419
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: that's the only. Bias these are the best in the

420
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: world at what they. Do no. Regrets is next. Up

421
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: this is a beautifully worded. Question listen to it closely

422
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: and know your. Mascots should the top half of THE

423
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: aac be wary of The East Carolina university pirates coming

424
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: after their? Booty you see what he did there, Again

425
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: know your, terminal and know your. Mascots they returned the

426
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: fourth most production in all OF, fbs And Mike houston's

427
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: team showed promise in games Against cincinnati AND smu last. Year,

428
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: yes this is my. Answer now sometimes WHEN i re

429
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: listen to, THIS i can't tell where the question, ends

430
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: and my answer, began so line and now here's my. Answer,

431
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: YEAH i think that people should be wary of, them

432
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: BUT i think twenty twenty one is going to be

433
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: the year to watch out FOR ecu if you know

434
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: anything about. Them last, year a lot of you don't

435
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: BELIEVE i WATCHED g five, games BUT i do. Religiously

436
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: they played a whole bunch of young. Guys the results

437
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: were about as. Expected you, know you talked about how

438
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: they were really close and they Pushed cincinnati AND. Smu

439
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: yeah they, did and they also struggled AGAINST fcs. Teams

440
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: SO i mean they got a passing game that probably

441
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: could go north of four thousand yards this. Year the

442
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: run game is one of my. Concerns defensive, LINE i

443
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: think they're putting a bunch of new guys in there.

444
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: TOO i think anything north of five hundred this year

445
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: would be considered a. Win and then next year you

446
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: got a guy that's done it at THE fcs level

447
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: before as your head coach In. Houston next year would

448
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: be the year THAT i would circle FOR. Ecu next

449
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: up Is nerdict twenty. Three what is your opinion Of Less.

450
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: Miles did this guy just step into a winning Team saban.

451
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: Built his one and only national title was four years

452
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: After sabin LEFT. Lsu, well that's. TRUE i, mean how

453
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: many other guys that are active today have national titles?

454
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: Period so you win one anytime you've done. Something in my,

455
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: book he came along to me about ten years too.

456
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: Early Less miles is a perfect example of a guy

457
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: who needed to do what Ed Or zern does ironically

458
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: at the same. Program he needed to delegate. More he

459
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: needed to get out of his offenses. Way, now they

460
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: were a recruiting machine Under, sabin and that Infrastructure saban put,

461
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Together it'd take a whole lot to screw that, up

462
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: And miles did not screw it. Up he was actually

463
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: a good. Recruiter they had a good recruiting staff under Less,

464
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: miles so they didn't screw up the infrastructure That saban

465
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: had put in. There but they just played this unnecessarily

466
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: risk averse. Style some, places most famously and most recently

467
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: places Like Michigan state Under mike, D'Antonio they have to

468
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: play risk. Averse they don't have a roster loaded with five,

469
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: stars so that style of play works for them and

470
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: has worked for, them and was totally. Understandable it went

471
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: sideways at the, end but it was totally understandable in

472
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: their prime under D'Antonio that they played that. Way that

473
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: is not what you should be doing AT lsu now

474
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: or in the. Past they were playing like pickup truck

475
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: football With ferrari, players and that's only good enough until

476
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: someone better moves in next door and understands the tools

477
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: that he has at his, disposal and that Was Nick,

478
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: saban and they were competitive with, him but they were

479
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: just that much better AT lsu or At. Alabama rather next,

480
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: up As, sean what are the odds of a college

481
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,159

485
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: tuesday Or wednesday, rather AND i assume we're going to

486
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: get a schedule as soon as we press record or

487
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: end record and then we send this, in we're going

488
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: to get a. Schedule So i'm answering this and SAYING

489
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: i want to See florida's schedule. Beforehand knowing full, well

490
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: we'll probably Have florida's schedule by the time you're listening to,

491
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: this so let's just table The florida. Talk But sean did,

492
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: ask what are the odds of a college football playoff this?

493
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: Year if there's a, Season i'm very confident there'll be a. Playoff.

494
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: Sean the same people deciding on the season are the

495
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: ones who are ultimately going to decide on the college football.

496
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Playoffs so if we got a season that goes anywhere

497
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: near the link that they have outlined it to, GO

498
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: i think we'll have a. Playoff brennan is next. Up brennan,

499
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: asks what is your opinion Of Kellen mond and what

500
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: do you think Of TEXAS a And m's quarterback position

501
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: after he. Leaves kellen mand to, Me brendan is good

502
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: in a lot of. AREAS i don't see much greatness

503
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: in any of those. Areas so you can win with.

504
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: THAT i don't know if you can win national championships with,

505
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: it but he is. Good he's not a bad quarterback

506
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: in any of those. Areas he's good in a lot of.

507
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: Areas but behind, him it's an interesting mixture. There for,

508
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: instance a guy Like KALZADA i think is the kid's,

509
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Name Zach. Kalzada he got experience before they red shirted

510
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: him last, year so they perfectly worked the red shirt

511
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: rule for, him got him some, experience but still got

512
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: the shirt on. Him but then you got a couple

513
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: of Four stars And king And Eli stowers is. There

514
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: So Jimbo fisher is gonna have plenty to choose from,

515
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: there and it could be a situation after this year

516
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: where they're losing a guy who's got a ton of,

517
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: experience and so you'll have the old talking points of

518
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Ooh Jimbo fisher In TEXAS a and m question marks at.

519
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: Quarterback dare we say quarterback, controversy WHICH i say. Sarcastically

520
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: we don't believe in quarterback controversies. Here the only controversy

521
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: is if if your quarterback take someone, hostage then you

522
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: got a quarterback. Controversy but depth and competition at the,

523
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: position that's not. Controversial that's just what we, said depth and,

524
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: competition that's what those things. Are and so they're going

525
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 1: to have a few options to choose from. There and

526
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: my point is that you may be a situation a

527
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: year from now where the preview. Magazine culture is telling, You,

528
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: Oh texas and n and taking a step back because

529
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: they're having to replace a. Quarterback and it may be

530
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: the actually ended up taking a step forward because you've

531
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: had enough time to develop guys and they are just

532
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: better and more talented options than who you had on campus.

533
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: Previously In Kellen mond bless, him as we, said he's not.

534
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: Bad he's a good, quarterback just not. Great so bookmark

535
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: that for a year from. Now all. Right we were

536
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: talking a second ago about the most frightening storm chasing

537
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: situations And benji asked a very similar. Question but here's

538
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: what he, asked what was your most dangerous situation you've

539
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: ever experience while train? Hopping talking about subculture With miami,

540
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: earlier this is kind of a. Subculture unto lape, kick you,

541
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: know when we get deeper into these podcasts where it's

542
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: just you AND i and hopefully management's not listening and

543
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: law enforcement's not. Listening that's, okay as we a statue

544
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: of limitations is a couple of buddies of mine erroneously

545
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: like to, say has passed on this SO i can

546
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: tell you this. Story but the subculture here, is, Yeah

547
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: i've hopped trains once in a while in my, Past

548
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: so two thousand and six was the. Year don't ask

549
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: WHY i remember. That it was the first time that

550
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: me and a couple of DUDES i used to hang

551
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: out with we ever actually successfully hopped a freight. Train

552
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: just something we always wanted to. Do you, know if

553
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: it's cool enough for, hobos it's cool enough for. Us

554
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: so we are in forts And, georgia just north Of.

555
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: Columbus there is a rock cory, There, vulcan and it's

556
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: not the only Place vulcan, exists but they've got a

557
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: rock cory, there still, do and so they'd run a

558
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: train every night north From. Columbus it's only like fifteen.

559
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: Miles they'd run it up. There they would take some

560
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: empty hopper up, there and then they would drop those

561
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: off and pick up full cars of, ballast which is

562
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: a fancy rock corry andry term for, rocks the same

563
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: kind of, rocks ironically that you see on the side

564
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: of railroad. Tracks so they'd pull them out of the

565
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: quarry and then they put them on the main line

566
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: and then the engines that pulled them out would have

567
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: to detach and go around the train on another track

568
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: to the. Front and so while those engines were going

569
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: from the back to the, front that's when our plan

570
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: was to hop. On so there we. Go it's not,

571
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: moving it's. Easy we just climbed a ladder and hopped

572
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: on and we've got it. Made. Man we got our

573
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: flashlights up, there and it's three of us up, there

574
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: and so we're just talking same Volume i'm talking to

575
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: you right now with and we're not even thinking about

576
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: the fact that there's a guy that had to switch

577
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: that track back To maine on the back of this,

578
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: train that's going to walk from the back of that

579
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: train to the front of the. Train and so we're

580
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: up there. Talking ten minutes has gone, by we're getting

581
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: ready to, move or so we, thought and all of

582
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: a sudden we see flashlight and this is, bad, bad,

583
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: bad it's bad news. Bears and sure, enough the guy

584
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: that was walking from the back to the, front here's

585
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: the rookie freight, hoppers could be their first, trip and

586
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: he hears the voice and he shines the light up.

587
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: There now we laid with our backs on those rocks

588
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: and we're just staring up at the sky and all

589
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: we can see are, stars and then a future of

590
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: us in front of a judge the next. Day and

591
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: then that guy kept walking and he never climbed up.

592
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: THERE i don't blame, him because he couldn't know that

593
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: it was three punk kids up, there and for all he,

594
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: knew it was guys with a, shive and he didn't

595
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: really feel like he was paid enough to check it,

596
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: out so he goes to the. Front we end up.

597
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: Moving all's, well that ends, well, right absolutely. Not we

598
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: get into. Town we knew where these trains, stopped so

599
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: we would park a truck where we knew we were

600
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: going to hop, off and then we would take another

601
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: truck and take it to our hot. Point and we

602
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: stop exactly where we thought we, would and we climbed

603
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: down exactly how we thought we. Would but then what

604
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: we didn't plan on was about fifteen cars up from,

605
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: us there he stands and he's waiting on us to get,

606
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: off and then he starts coming for, us and so

607
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: we high tailed it and we had to slide down

608
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: this long grass hill behind An italian restaurant that won't

609
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: be mentioned here for several obvious, reasons and we peeled

610
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: it out of. There and it was the first time

611
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: THAT i found out the truck THAT i had at the,

612
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: time ninety four gmcc, era could actually lay rubber in

613
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: a parking. Lot and we got out of. There and

614
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,480

649
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: tradition and marriages between programs and conferences just totally flew

650
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: out the. Window and it seemed like every morning you

651
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: woke up and every morning with a new, headline traditions

652
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: seemed to matter, less and less as opposed to what

653
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: the value of a new conference affiliation would bring. You

654
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: there's a price every, team every program's got a. Price

655
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 1: clemson's no. Different So i'd go After. Clemson they would

656
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: greatly bolster the competition levels in THE Sec, east both

657
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: short and long. Term they. Fit they have the identity

658
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: and the trademarks of AN sec, program THE dna of

659
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: AN sec. Program Death valley fits right in With athens

660
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: And knoxville And gainesville and the. Like and if that didn't,

661
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: Work i'd go To Virginia tech. Reasons and if that didn't,

662
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: Work i'd go a little bit different, route And i'd

663
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: go To Central. Florida as much again as you folks

664
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: down In orlando and around the, country people who have

665
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: just taken up The knight's cause seem to think THAT

666
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: i hate you not at. All watch pretty much every

667
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: game you. PLAY i just don't appreciate the concept that

668
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: you are on equal footing with major power five teams

669
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: come playoff selection, time and this is not the time

670
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: for that. Conversation i've already made my thoughts, known and

671
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: you've made your counterpoints. Known, however let's make it all

672
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: irrelevant and let me take you and put you in THE.

673
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: SEC i would get further down Into. FLORIDA i would

674
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: get into The orlando And South florida media, markets which

675
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: in some Ways i'm, in but in another Way i'm

676
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 1: not really in. Yet And i've always Viewed Central florida

677
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: as a, program And university kind of has a lot

678
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: to do with. This with exdream, UPSIDE i don't think

679
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: their ceiling has even been. BROACHED i don't think that

680
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: they've even come close hitting their. Ceiling then imagine what

681
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: happens IF i PUMP sec television money and conference money

682
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: into the equation down. There Central florida could be a.

683
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: Monster Central florida could be the Next Generations Florida. State

684
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: you don't know What i'm talking, about and you're twenty

685
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: five years. Old go ask your, dad if he's a

686
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: lifelong college football, fan What Florida state was like when

687
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: he was a. Kid ask your grandpa What Florida state

688
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: was when he was a. Kid he probably would, say

689
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: who never never had of, him but then all of

690
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: a sudden you'd heard of. Him, Well Central florida could

691
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: be the Next Generations Florida. State next, UP i go

692
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: to A big twelve, school AND i Think Matt campbell

693
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: gets a lot more credit than he. Deserves That's Iowa

694
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: state's head. Coach he had a nine win season With

695
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: Hakeem butler And David, montgomery but the next year he

696
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: was out coached in Several Big twelve games and the

697
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: bowl game Against Notre. DAME i think he's a fine,

698
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: coach but not winning The Big twelve anytime. Soon what

699
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: are your? Thoughts all? Right let me unpack. This so,

700
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: first you mentioned, that, yeah he had nine, wins but

701
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: he Had butler And. Montgomery, well no coach ever has

702
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: a good season without good. Players, now on the other

703
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: side of that, coin plenty of coaches have had bad

704
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: seasons despite having good. Players so let's think about that

705
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: for a. SECOND i don't criticize a guy for doing

706
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: good with good. Players that's what good coaches are supposed to.

707
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: Do the second, part and this is a little bit

708
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: deeper and more, nuanced BUT i hear this all the.

709
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: Time guys got out. Coached, oh this guy got out.

710
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: Coached how do people know when someone gets out? Coached

711
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: what does it really? Mean? Like what do we mean?

712
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: Here do we mean that the other teams were more prepared.

713
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: Consistently did you get out? Schemed did you forget football

714
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: in the off, season but before the season that you

715
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: got out coached? Allegedly how do people spot? That and

716
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: let me go down the. List by the, WAY i

717
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: went to the trouble of looking this, up which is

718
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: not a lot of. Trouble Iowa state last year they

719
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: lost To iowa a Ranked iowa, Team top Twenty iowa,

720
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: team eighteen to. Seventeen they lost At baylor twenty three

721
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: to twenty. One That baylor team ended up playing for

722
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: a conference championship game and having a head coach taken

723
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: by THE. Nfl they lost To Oklahoma state thirty four

724
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: to twenty. Seven nothing to shake your head. At they

725
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: had a, eh what you would call a bad loss

726
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: At Kansas state to end the. Year they lost by,

727
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: ten but competitive in every one of these. Games most

728
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: of these, rosters aside From Kansas, state are better at

729
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: that point last year Than Iowa state's. Is and then they.

730
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: Lost they got thoroughly. OUTPLAYED i will agree with you

731
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: By Notre. Dame Notre dame in the bowl. Game the point,

732
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: is think about the history of college. Football Notre dame

733
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: should Outplay Iowa. State ten times out of ten they.

734
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: Should and so you wrap this up by, saying, WELL

735
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: i don't think they're gonna win The Big twelve anytime.

736
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: Soon who is saying anything to the. Contrary let's Take

737
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: Iowa state fans out of the. Equation they're passionate about their.

738
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: Program i'm high On Iowa. STATE i Love Iowa. State

739
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: i'm high On Matt. CAMPBELL i haven't predicted them to

740
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: win The Big twelve anytime. SOON i haven't seen anybody out,

741
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: there reputable or, otherwise to be honest with, you predicting

742
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: them to win The Big. Twelve what they're saying Is

743
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: Matt campbell in that program are playing above their skis

744
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: right now as it relates to what history would. Say

745
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: the best indicator of that is the fact that a

746
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: lot of people the question right here and the person

747
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 1: who asked the question here included a lot of people

748
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: right now are actually mildly Criticizing Iowa state for going

749
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: seven and six seven and. Six and we looked this

750
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: up the other. DAY i think the last time Before

751
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: campbell got there that they had an eight win season or,

752
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: BETTER i think it was like two, thousand two thousand and,

753
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: one sometime like. That this is not normal, there and

754
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's elevated the profile of the

755
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: program to where seven wins that's. It, Yeah, yes seven,

756
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: wins that's. It they were competitive in every game Except Notre.

757
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: Dame that's not a bad season At Iowa. State next

758
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: up Is. Scott scott asks how DO fcs programs Like

759
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: South Dakota state break through the glass ceiling and become

760
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: a national contender in? Football, Well, scott, Now i'll ADMIT

761
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: i had to look this, up But i'd say they already.

762
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: Are they've been to THE fcs playoffs seven years in a,

763
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: row they've been to the finals back to back. Years

764
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: just because they haven't won a national championship doesn't mean

765
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: they're not a national. Contender how about this Stat by the,

766
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: way since nineteen seventy, Two South Dakota state has had

767
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: four head coaches that. Consistency next, Up corbin asks who

768
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: Will Ohio state have in the backfield this year and

769
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: how much does the loss OF. Jk dobbins hurt their ground? Game,

770
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: well it does not help, it you know a lot of,

771
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: times and this is independent Of Ohio, state just a general.

772
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: OBSERVATION a lot of. Times what sort of aggravates me

773
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: and just sort of entertains me about college football fandom

774
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: is fans will tout a player to the ends of

775
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: the earth when they're on their, roster but as soon

776
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: as they, leave they will also tout how there won't

777
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: be a drop off and how we will seamlessly replace this. Guy,

778
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: NOW i have not necessarily Hurt Ohio state fans say

779
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: that in mass just a general observation. THERE i ran THE.

780
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: Jk dobbins fan CLUB Jk, DOBBINS i could not have

781
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: thought any higher of. Him incredible versatile. Talent Trey sermon

782
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: was a huge pickup for. Them Tray, sermon for those,

783
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: unfamiliar transferred From. Oklahoma it feels like four years, ago

784
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: but it actually happened this. Offseason so he gives you

785
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: a veteran presence behind a veteran offensive line Master. Tigue

786
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: really kind of the reason That sermon's pickup was so

787
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: big because you Lost tigue to an achilles' injury in the,

788
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: spring and he's going to play this. Year to what

789
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: level will he play remains to be. Seen but having

790
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: fields at, quarterback having those weapons everywhere, else and just

791
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: overall having the caliber program they. Have if you had question,

792
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: MARKS i guess you would say running back being a

793
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: question mark. THERE i tend to think they'll be. Fine.

794
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: SERMON i think will pleasantly surprise some people with how

795
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: versatile he. IS i don't necessarily know that he's as

796
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: explosive As dobbins, was but he's a guy that fully

797
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: capable of being a feature back for you and being

798
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: a three down back for. You he could do everything

799
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: out of the backfield you need him to. Do, Also

800
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: corbyn asked another, question what Does tennessee's offense look like this?

801
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: Year Is mauer the clear starter at? Quarterback and how

802
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: will the balls replace the production Of jennings And callaway at.

803
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: Receiver let me get into camp a little bit to

804
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: answer the wide receiver, Question but as for, quarterback absolutely

805
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: not On. Maer in, FACT i wouldn't lean towards him

806
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: as the starter right. Now i'd lean Towards Jarrett garantano

807
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: again as the starter with maybe the potential for there

808
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: to be one or on the other side of the,

809
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: coin several guys taking meaningful reps. There this, Year you've

810
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: Got maer and J. T. Sprout both of those guys

811
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: started games last. Year and Then Harrison bailey's the guy

812
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: that Most tennessee fans think of as having the highest,

813
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: ceiling but he's a true freshman without. Spring Caysom hill's almost,

814
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: forgotten but he's a guy on the roster that talked

815
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: to some people At. Tennessee they think he may be

816
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: the guy that would get back up reps and get

817
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: looked at heavily right now if they had to play

818
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: a game, today just because of the experience factor that

819
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: he has. Too But i'll tell you that two of

820
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: the most important names in THE Sec east this, Year

821
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: Ty chandler And Eric, gray those are the one to

822
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: two in any combination of running backs At. Tennessee that's

823
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: the Style Jeremy pruit is looking to. Play he knows

824
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't Have Joe burrow in any of these quarterbacks right.

825
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: Now he doesn't Have Joe burrow or Tuatongua. Iloa they

826
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: know how they have to play up. There they think

827
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: they finally have the offensive line to play the way

828
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: they want to. Play AND i would second that. Notion

829
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: But Ty, Chandler Eric, gray those are two guys that

830
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: have to get it done at tailback this, year not

831
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: just one of. Them they got to have both of.

832
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: Them aj is next. Up, recently during an interview Between

833
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: Bud elliott And Roddy, jones they discussed or questioned whether

834
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: more lower End power five schools Like vanderbilt Or Oregon

835
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: state should consider going flex bone triple option Like Paul

836
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: johnson did At Georgia. Tech do you believe this would

837
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: be a good option for schools that may find themselves

838
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: at the bottom of Other power five conference standing almost

839
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: on a yearly. Basis short answer is, YES i fully

840
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: agree with. That i'd be on board with. It what

841
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: aggravated me About Georgia tech IS i didn't think they

842
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: fit that. Description Georgia tech is not a program THAT

843
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: i ever thought needed to go that route they. DID

844
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: i guess my best case study is Watching Jeff. Collins

845
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: we're now in a Post Paul johnson era At Georgia.

846
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: Tech you watch What Jeff collins. DOES i fully Believe

847
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: i'd buy a lot of stock right now In Georgia tech.

848
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: FOOTBALL i Think Jeff collins is going to help the

849
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: nation to ultimately realize What Georgia tech has always been capable,

850
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: of just because they haven't done it in this life

851
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're not capable of, it And Jeff, COLLINS

852
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: i think will show that and they don't have to

853
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: be running the triple option to do. It, now you

854
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: Mentioned vanderbilt perfect, Candidate Oregon state perfect. CANDIDATE i don't

855
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: think the fans And Corp vallis are necessarily on board with,

856
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: that but perfect candidate. There, Yeah AND i listened to

857
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: the interview That bud did With Roddy. Jones it was

858
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: a really good. Conversation if you haven't seen, that it

859
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: is part of Our Social distance series on the twenty

860
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: four to Seven sports YouTube, channel available right. Now wesley

861
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: is next. Up wesley, SAYS i recalled that you said

862
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: in one of your previous podcasts that conference expansion is

863
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: on the way in The Power. Five if, so do

864
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: you Think Appalachian State Appalachian, State, sorry, oh that doesn't

865
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: score me any points up. There do you Think Appalachian

866
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: state deserves to be one of those? Teams i'm not

867
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: suggesting this because of our dominance in The Sun, belt

868
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: but we've played well Against power five competition in the,

869
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: past including last season when we Beat North carolina And

870
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: South carolina on the road and the year before when

871
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: we took a top Ten Penn state team to overtime

872
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: also on the. Road keep up the solid work From. Wesley,

873
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: wesley here is the line in the sand that is,

874
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: unfortunate and it's not always seen by. Fans if quality

875
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: of team and just the overall quality of the, program

876
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: what was the premier metric in this, conversation you would

877
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: have a great point and the answer would be. Yes,

878
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: unfortunately these decisions are often made understandably, so but it's

879
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: still unfortunate with brand value in. Mind and here's the sad.

880
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: Reality me being a perennial eight and four team closer

881
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: to a MAJOR tv market may squash your annual ten

882
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: and two profile in, Boone North. Carolina, Now i'm not

883
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: saying that sarcastically at. All IF i got to make the,

884
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: decisions they'd be made a lot more in the thread

885
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: that you just. Mentioned BUT i don't get to make the,

886
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: decisions and the ones who do don't necessarily care about

887
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: who you've beaten on the. Road they do care about

888
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: how many eyeballs you may. Bring you, know what's the

889
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: value proposition? Here you know the you know the fire, Drill,

890
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: steven next, UP i was having a conversation the other

891
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: day with one of my employees about The Big. Twelve

892
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: we discussed if it ever blew, up Is texas uniquely

893
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: positioned with The Longhorn network and a weaker but still

894
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: national brand to be an INDEPENDENT i think it could

895
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 1: help or hinder their attempts to rise back to the

896
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: heights of yester. Year, Steven i'm not sure That texas

897
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: being independent would impact their program's trajectory. OVERALL i, mean

898
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: they're going to do the same things in a conference

899
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: that they would do. INDEPENDENT i mean that has to

900
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: do with having the proper head, coach having recruiting in,

901
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: order having your ducks in a row behind the, scenes

902
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: having the infrastructure in, place all of those. Things you're

903
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: going to win in The big twelve or out of

904
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: The Big twelve if you're doing that. Right, however independent

905
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: of all, that if they were to ironic that we

906
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: just used that, word because if they were to go,

907
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: INDEPENDENT i think their tailor made for. It not that

908
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: this is coming or anyone expects, it but hypothetical land, Here,

909
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: yes think about what they have they. Have, obviously they've

910
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: already shown the ability to secure A tv, deal AND

911
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: i think they could get a bigger one done if

912
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: they need to they have. Do or let's ask that's the.

913
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: Question do they have enough? Sway do they have enough

914
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: influence to where they would garner a similar seat at

915
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: the college football playoff table for example That Notre dame

916
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: has right Now jax warbicks vote in the college football

917
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: playoff process and matters of the. Sort it matters the

918
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: same as an entire conference like THE acc or THE

919
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: sec right. Now Does texas possess? THAT i would, argue

920
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: yes they. Do they could get that. Done do they

921
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: need to be subsidized by a conference right? Now are

922
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: they surviving off of affiliation with the? Conference? No they

923
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 1: could be independent. Tomorrow they'd be just. Fine does their

924
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: conference benefit, them you, know from, participation more than the

925
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: conference benefits from having them in their? Conference in other,

926
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: words Does texas need The Big twelve more than The

927
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: Big twelve Needs? TEXAS i don't think. SO i think

928
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: The Big twelve benefits a whole lot more from Having

929
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: texas than vice. Versa and here's another fun thing to think.

930
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: About would them having autonomy over their schedule be a

931
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: plus or? MINUS i think it'd be a, huge huge.

932
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: Plus no disrespect To. Kansas but IF i were, replaced

933
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: IF i were to Replace texas going on The road

934
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: To kansas With texas going on The road To, tennessee,

935
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: YEAH i think it'd be a big, deal AND i

936
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: Think texas could get that. Done. NOW i don't think that's,

937
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: happening but it is a fun thing to think. About, Yeah,

938
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: texas if if you had to pick someone who could

939
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: survive tomorrow going, Independent texas had be. One at the

940
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 1: forefront of that. Conversation all let's move on. HERE i

941
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: wanted to, note by the, way there were a lot

942
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,160

945
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: out related to, scheduling related TO, Covid and my answer

946
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: to all those questions was going to be in some

947
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 1: form or FASHION i don't. Know and so let's save

948
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: those for when we get some more definitive. Answers at

949
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: least have a structure of what the season is going

950
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: to look. Like who's going to play, who, where et.

951
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: Cetera rob is next. Up one of the greatest things

952
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: about an entire season is a play or two that

953
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: just defies. LOGIC i can remember WHERE i was WHEN

954
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 1: i Saw LSU's bluegrass, miracle Or Jacob pastor's fourth down

955
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: runs Against, florida or The auburn kick. Six what would

956
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: be some of your greatest miracle? Plays, ROB i think

957
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: you got to start with the kick six and the past.

958
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: GENERATION i think that thing's going to go unmatched for

959
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: eternity if you consider just the improbability of the moment

960
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: and the, play but also consider the historical. Ramifications it

961
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: was The Iron, bowl it was a massive, rivalry and

962
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,919

Speaker 1: the national championship two years before, that they had won

964

Speaker 1: the national championship the year before. That they were playing

965
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: to go to THE sec title game and try to

966
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: win a third straight national. Championship not only Does auburn

987
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,200

988
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: punt And Michigan state ran it, back AND i stood

989
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 1: still in, disbelief staring at MY tv for so long

990
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: that you, know if you stand on carpet for a

991

992
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: footprints in the. Carpet my footprints were in the carpet

993
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: by the time. Moved that's how ENHANCED i was on this.

994
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 1: MOMENT i had chill. Bumps, ACTUALLY i remember vividly looking

995
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: at my. Arm my mouth was hanging open like some

996
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: of Those michigan fans they showed ON. Tv shame on

997
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: them for, that by the. Way it's entertaining, though but

998
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: that was. Crazy and another, one you, KNOW i was

999
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: on the field for The Josh Dobbs Hail mary To

1000
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: Juan jennings When tennessee Beat georgia In. Athens you had

1001
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: two lead changes in the final twenty some odds seconds

1002
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: of that, game and a celebration penalty Pushes tennessee out near.

1003
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: Midfield they get a chance to throw one too the end,

1004
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: zone so that one was crazy. Too ended up walking

1005
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: Into tennessee's locker room and they let me in there

1006
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: BECAUSE i had an orange polo on that was the

1007
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: same color As tennessee's. Orange so it was a fun.

1008
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: Day i've told that story on the podcast. Before next

1009
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: up Is, Kobe which School texas Or TEXAS a AND

1010
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: m would you rather coach at if they both had openings?

1011
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: Today which would you? Accept why which is the better?

1012
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: Job my answer here Is TEXAS a AND. M but

1013
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: it's strictly personal, preference because If texas came to me,

1014
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: Tomorrow i'd have no problem taking that one in a heart.

1015
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: Beat in, Fact i'd have no problem answering this by

1016
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: saying my old go to of you take your first,

1017
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: choice And i'll take whatever's left. Over but the reason

1018
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: my personal preference would Be TEXAS a AND m is

1019
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: Just i'd be a part of THE sec, culture WHICH

1020
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: i admit THAT i grew up, in SO i have

1021
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: a favoritism towards that. Culture BUT i would relish competing

1022
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: against the best In, america AND i would have That

1023
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: IF i were At, TEXAS i would compete Against Lincoln.

1024
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: Riley but If i'm At TEXAS a AND, M i'm

1025
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: competing AGAINST lsu every, Year i'm Against alabama every. Year

Speaker 1: against the. BEST i want that pressure. Cooker and it's

1029
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: not for. Everyone And i'm not saying there's not pressure At.

1030
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: Texas certainly there, is but there's no pressure like pressure

1031
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: in THE. Sec when you have everything you need to,
