1
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I can't believe after all the

2
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: goodwill and the equity that we have built up here

3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: at America's College Football Show, do people still think we're

4
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: dancing around subjects and we're gonna bob and weave and

5
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: avoid subjects. And when people think that, and especially if

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: they're playing it reverse psychologically, it works because I just

7
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: go and lead the show with it. So we're jampacked.

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: We're high the top a stormy but clearing downtown Nashville, Tennessee,

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: on this Sunday, March twenty third, thee of Our Lord

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. We're proudly brought to you by Academy

11
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors. Yes there are more off the field

12
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: issues at Georgia. Yes we will lead the show with it.

13
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: Good for us whoms to defunk it right. Also, I

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: have identified with this here pen several ways where twenty

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: twenty five could really go off the rails for college

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: football in general, not one specific program. I'm going to

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: talk to you about that. I'm going to try and

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: tell you the truth about Lincoln Riley in this show tonight.

19
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: Of course, it is March, and therefore on campus at

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: pet State. While there may be round ball being played elsewhere.

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: We do not view this as basketball season. We view

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: this as spring football season. So we have a lot

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: of spring whispers and intel to go over all of that,

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: and then some we're jam packed tonight. They're watching us

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: in Pensacola, Florida, Detroit, Michigan, Clovis, New Mexico, which we

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: always have to pause and salute because aside from the

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: transient population, the people who move there from elsewhere, no

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: one's ever been able to give me a reason why

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: we do traffic in New Mexico, but we do. We

30
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: appreciate it, trust me, we appreciate it. But I always

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: give a special salute to our friends in New Mexico. Also,

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Jackson Tennessee makes a little more sense. Jackson Tennessee tuned

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: in as well. So two big announcements really four. I

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: guess Kirby Smart about forty seven minute sit down with him.

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: We'll drop that tomorrow morning on the show. We will

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: drop about a fifty minute sit down with Shane Beemer

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning on the show. I will be on the

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: road this week with two stops and two brand new

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: guests entering the Pate State Speaker Series. Can't tell you

40
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: who that is yet. Follow me on the socials at

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Josh Pate CFB you will find out. Is that four announcements? Yeah,

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: because the last two the last one kind of counts

43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: us too, and the other announcement. It's about eighty three

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: degrees in the room right now. A lesser host would

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: have tapped out a long time ago. But I'm gonna

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: try and make it through. I'm hydrated, I think Yeah,

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: we still got a good few ounces in there, so

48
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be okay, which is more than

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I can say for some people. And with that we

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: dive into the show. George has got more off the

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: field issues, certainly, I'll talk about it. There were rumors

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: floating around the internet that we were going to dodge this.

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I do know why. Misnomers about the

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: those of this show are why, mainly from people who

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: don't watch the show or listening to the show. So

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: you do watch or listen, that's why you're here. So

57
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: what do we know? Well, we know last year Georgia

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: had a ton of driving related issues and arrests. Then

59
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: there was a little lull, then they won the SEC

60
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: and now we're in spring, and everyone had their fingers

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: crossed that it was over. I went down there last week.

62
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: I spent the whole day on campus, did a sit

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: down with Kirby. We recorded it for release tomorrow, which

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: is March twenty fourth, if you're watching a replay. And

65
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: then no sooner did I get out of town that

66
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: two guys got arrested, So Nitro Tuggle driving related arrest,

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Marquise easily driving related arrest. That makes what is like

68
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: twenty two or something like that total driving related arrests

69
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty three? All right, will I talk about

70
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: it on the show? Why wouldn't I? We've done it

71
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: several times. To the shock of some we've done it

72
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: several times, So what's at least one more? I will

73
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: ask you, guys, this a small trade off here. I

74
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: don't think this is asking too much. I will give

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: you my full, raw, unadult traded thoughts on this topic.

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: If you promise me to be logical and pragmatic with me,

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: just for the next ten minutes, maybe less, because I

78
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: want to get through tonight's show pretty quick. You know

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Iowa State's plan tonight. So if you'll promise me that

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: you will be logical and pragmatic. Let's just no emotion.

81
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: I love emotion. You can bring it back in like

82
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: eight minutes, but just wipe the Etcher sketchboard of emotion clean.

83
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: And I want you, no matter how old you are,

84
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 1: to be an adult for just a second. I'm gonna try.

85
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: No promises, but I'm going to try and do the

86
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: same thing. I just want us to look at this

87
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: through the lens of logic and pragmatism. Can we do that?

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm hearing yeses, a few dissenting nose over in the corner,

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: but largely I'm hearing yeses, yes, yes, yes, Okay. This

90
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: is a big problem. It's been a big problem for

91
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: a long time. It's a chronic issue. It seems unique

92
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: to Georgia. In reality, it probably isn't. But make no mistake,

93
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: there is one program that is the poster child for

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: driving related arrest by ten miles in this case, I

95
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: do believe in the phrase. And it's not even close Georgia,

96
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: And it's not even close. So this has happened a

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: lot there to varying degrees, but it's happened a lot.

98
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: So who does this fall on? Well, when you have

99
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: a chronic problem within a program, it ultimately falls up

100
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: to the feet of the head man, so it falls

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: on Kirby Smart. I guess that's what everyone wants to hear,

102
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: so certainly that's the case. I don't argue with that logic.

103
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: That's the logical part of it. That is completely logical

104
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: to me. If anyone argues that isolated incidents are one thing,

105
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: but if we have a chronic series of issues and

106
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: they're all virtually the same from fifty thousand feet, they

107
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: seem the same, it's on the head coach to figure

108
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: that out. That's why he gets paid so much money.

109
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: And it's a culture issue, and culture is downstream of leadership.

110
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: None of these things I would disagree with. Do we

111
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: agree so far? Okay? Apparently I think we're all on

112
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: the same page so far. The reason I'm speaking like

113
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: this if you're new to the show, is because I

114
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen here, and most people who

115
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: are familiar with the show know what's going to happen.

116
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: Bits and pieces of this segment are going to go

117
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: out miscontextualized, and I'm going to be accused of carrying

118
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: water for Kirby Smart. It happens every time, so this

119
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: will be no different. We all know it. Reddit's ready,

120
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: willing and able to run with it. We all know that.

121
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you guys who do watch and listen.

122
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: You don't have to agree with me. A lot of

123
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: you are about to disagree with me with what I'm

124
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: about to stay in a second, but that's okay because

125
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: you're watching. All right, So, so far, what have we determine?

126
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: We got chronic issues here. It's a big issue. It

127
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: extends me on football because it puts the public's safety

128
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: at risk, and we've seen detrimental consequences, the most extreme

129
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: consequences you could see already in the past few years

130
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: up there because of that, and it ultimately falls at

131
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: the feet of the head coach to correct the problem.

132
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: All of these things I think we agree on. I'm

133
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: trying to establish common ground here is where I have

134
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: found in the past, and we'll probably find today that

135
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: maybe I differ with some of you. Some of you

136
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: have looked at the issues there and you've said, George's

137
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: culture is broken. I don't think George's culture is broken.

138
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: I just think they got a big, big problem there.

139
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: So I want to be careful with how we walk

140
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: through this, just like we were last July. Colin, I

141
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: don't want you to show it yet, but I'm gonna

142
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: show you guys something in a few minutes that I

143
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: said last July. So, I don't think George's culture is broken.

144
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: I think it's possible to have a pretty solid culture,

145
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: and yet there's this page of It's like a good

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: book with a terrible chapter in it. I think George's

147
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: got a really, really bad layer that continues to lead

148
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: to the same thing that's undeniable. I had no one,

149
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: the almost hardcore Georgia defender out there imaginable couldn't deny that.

150
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: I just think something's wrong. That's about as much as

151
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: we can know without having every detail and seeing every

152
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: measure that's been taken. But here's what's funny, all right, now,

153
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: this is where we got to be adults. There's a

154
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: lot of folks who will say George's culture is broken.

155
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: Fair opinion to have, and I understand why you would

156
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: have that opinion. I may slightly disagree with it, but

157
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: completely understand it because we've all seen the same thing happen.

158
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: It is my belief that there is a sizable chunk

159
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: of the college football public that says Georgia's culture is broken,

160
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't actually believe Georgia's culture is broken. They're saying

161
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: it makes them feel good. These are probably rival fans

162
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: of George's. These are non Georgia folks. In most cases,

163
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: you could be a Georgia fan though, and say this.

164
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: So it's not just Georgia haters out there. But I'm

165
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna illustrate my point. Okay, Colin, do we have that

166
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: tweet from last July? So last July, this stuff was

167
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: already going on. Obviously, they had already had a lot

168
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: of off the field arrests, most of them driving related, Okay,

169
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: and everyone was yelling. Then what they're still yelling? Now,

170
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: George's got a big culture problem. So I went into

171
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: our season prediction video, and this after I had tried

172
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: to be nuanced and I had said, I don't know

173
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: if their culture and totality is broken. We just got

174
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: a big issue here we need to address overall. I

175
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: think the culture solid. And everyone said no, no, no,

176
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: you're just carrying water for Kirby. So then we got

177
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: to our season prediction show and I didn't think Georgia

178
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: was going to be all that great last year. I

179
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: thought they were going to be well off the pace,

180
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: and they were. The SEC as a whole was so

181
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: they ended up winning the conference. Still, but I go

182
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: on air and I predict them to miss the SEC

183
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,119
Speaker 1: championship game entirely. I thought they'd be two losses minimum,

184
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: and I thought they'd be well off the pace. Okay, No,

185
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: sooner did I say that on this show than we

186
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: just got hell fire rained down on us from every

187
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: corner of the Internet and beyond of people calling it

188
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: out for being a stupid prediction. And I remember vividly

189
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: going and looking at my interactions with dozens and dozens

190
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: and dozens of people who had hated on me for

191
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: the prediction, and come to find out, a lot some

192
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: other people calling me stupid for not picking Georgia to

193
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: win the SEC were some of the same people saying

194
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: George's culture was broken. So I sat there and I thought, well,

195
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense, because if you really believe their

196
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: culture is broken, someone predicting them not to win the

197
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: SEC would make sense to you. And so I put

198
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter what Colin was just showing you there? And

199
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: I said, you know, some of the same people calling

200
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: out George's culture are the first people to bash you

201
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: when you don't pick them to win the SEC. I

202
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: left it at that. It was misunderstood. Maybe I could

203
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: have worded it better. I guess I said, casuals will

204
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: say George's culture is rotten, but then they'll trash anyone

205
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: who doesn't predict them to win the SEC. The comments

206
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: were just it was toxic. The replies were toxic, and

207
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: I got the following quote, probably about a million times, quote,

208
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: you can win a title and have rotten culture, all right.

209
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't believe that, point blank. I don't believe you

210
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: can have a rotten culture and win the SEC championship.

211
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: There may have been times in the past, in maybe

212
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: like lesser conferences where someone cut corners, or you know,

213
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: someone came in and it was like first or second

214
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: year on the job and they win it at all costs,

215
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: but slowly the program deteriorated. But when you're eight or

216
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: nine or ten years in and your culture's been defined

217
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: and there's no mystery about who you are and what

218
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: you stand for, I don't believe you are going rotten

219
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: culture and arriving that riding that wave to a national

220
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: championship or an SEC championship. I don't believe that. However,

221
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: forget about what I believe for a second. Let's just

222
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: say you're right. Let's just say it is possible to

223
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: have totally rotten culture and still win the SEC because

224
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: talented football players, no matter how bad people they are,

225
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: they can go win on Saturday and still be terrible

226
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: six other days out of the week. If that's the case,

227
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: which some of you apparently believe to be the case,

228
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: then what do you care about culture for? This is

229
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. When I'm saying, I think a lot

230
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: of folks yelling about culture don't actually care about culture,

231
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: because if you did care about culture, or you thought

232
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: it mattered worth anything, you wouldn't expect great things from

233
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: Georgia if you thought their culture sucked because you would think, well,

234
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: sucky culture, you're not gonna get great results. Or if

235
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: you thought, well, their culture sucks, but they'll still win.

236
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: Because culture really doesn't matter and it's not really correlated

237
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: to what you do on the field. What do you

238
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: care about culture for? Either way, what do you care

239
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: about culture for? I'm on the other side, I think

240
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: culture is correlated to on field results over the long haul.

241
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: I do think that. So I'm not talking about myself here,

242
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: but I'm playing Devil's advocate with you for a second

243
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: that those of you who replied to me then and

244
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: would still reply now, Georgia's culture's bad. It's just that

245
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: they're so good they'll win anyway. I don't believe that.

246
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't believe that happens per se. So that's the

247
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: first point of contention that I've probably had with a

248
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: lot of folks who disagree with me on this, and

249
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: then you know they'll they'll hear me disagree with them,

250
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: and their recourse, instead of giving me a logical rebuttal

251
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: will be you're just carrying water for Kirby. I can't

252
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: care less about carrying water for Kirby smart, nor does

253
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: he need anyone to. But I will say, if we

254
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: go further down that road. The next thing that gets

255
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: yelled a lot. Anytime a Georgia player gets arrested for

256
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: a driving related incident, which has happened about two dozen

257
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: times now or three dozen or four dozen, whatever it is.

258
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: Two dozen, Yeah, one of the first things out of

259
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: people's mouths is Georgia has a culture problem. Then the

260
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: second thing out of their mouth is, well, Kirby's got

261
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: to do something. Well, Kirby has done something. He's done

262
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: a lot. Now this is where it's out of turn

263
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: for me to speak on this, but I'm very familiar

264
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: with the measures they've taken there. I, in my opinion,

265
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: wish that publicize it all. I understand why they don't.

266
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: It's not my business to be sharing that, but I'm

267
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: making that point to emphasize that I look at it

268
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: and it shocks me when they have a problem, because

269
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: I look. If I were to bullet point every measure,

270
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: sure they've taken many of them, unknown publicly, I would

271
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: think to myself, I would be utterly terrified to make

272
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: a false step if I played for this program, And

273
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: yet it still happens. And so I think the accurate

274
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: thing to say is not Kirby needs to do something.

275
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: The accurate thing to say is Kirby needs to do

276
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: something other than what he's done, because maybe what he's

277
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: done so far is not working that I could get

278
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: on board with. However, I'd follow it up. If you

279
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: could be a fly on the wall and just observe

280
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: what he has done, I think you would say, Wow,

281
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: what else can he do? What else can the guy do?

282
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: But then you'd be accused of making excuses for him,

283
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: So of course you can't say that. But then I

284
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: always follow up with this, and I'll say it again

285
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: anyone who thinks he needs to do more. What would

286
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: your specific policy be. I think many of you are

287
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna say he ought to kick people off for their

288
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: first defense. But I don't think you would do that

289
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: if you were in his spot. If I let you

290
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: take over Georgia today, knowing that you're really judged based

291
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: on winning games, would you institute a zero tolerance policy

292
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: for driving related issues? And before you say yes, understand

293
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: what you're agreeing to there. You're agreeing to your starting quarterback,

294
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: starting left tackle if they get popped for doing sixty

295
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: four and a forty five coming through Alpharetta. You're telling me,

296
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: no questions asked, you're kicking them off the team. No

297
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: one's ever done that in history. No coach has ever

298
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: had that kind of policy in history, because it is

299
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: crazy to have that kind of policy. Now, your follow

300
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: up there, if we were debating right now, I have

301
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: to pretend you're in the room with me, you'd say, yeah, no, coach,

302
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: has ever done that. But then again, no coach has

303
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: ever had this litany of issues all pretending to the

304
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: same thing. Fair. Fair, I'm not saying you're wrong there,

305
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying I actually don't think the people calling for

306
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: a zero tolerance policy would institute one themselves if they

307
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: were there. So if I'm wrong there, I'm wrong. Probably right.

308
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: So beyond a zero tolerance policy, what is it you

309
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: would do? Would you get speakers to come in, would

310
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: you find guys, would you strip them of playing time?

311
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: Would you ban them from the facility to like? What

312
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: would you do specifically? And do you think that that

313
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: serves the best interest of the team. I think another

314
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: layer of this is when I talk like that, there

315
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: could be someone who doesn't even care about college football,

316
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: who's just a citizen of Clark County, and they say,

317
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't even care about sports. But I'm paying attention

318
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: to this conversation because if you've got guys out there

319
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: driving recklessly and they're supposedly under your watch and it's

320
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: putting me in danger, then it's beyond a football problem.

321
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: Don't disagree with that either. I still ask the same thing, though,

322
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: what would your policy be? What would your policy be Lastly,

323
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: this one got a lot of heat last year too.

324
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: I should have cued up the video, but I didn't.

325
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: I'll just reiterate what I think because I feel the

326
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: same way as I did last July. Last July, they

327
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: were dealing with this. They're dealing with it again. Hopefully

328
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: these are the last two incidents. But even if they're not,

329
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask the same thing, what are the

330
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: players at Georgia doing? What are you doing, Kirby Smart?

331
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: Not evenwithstanding it's not it is his team. It is

332
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart's team. The responsibility falls on him. But like

333
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: I said last year, Kirby Smart's going to be at

334
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: Georgia as long as he wants to be. He's the

335
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: coach there in twenty twenty five. If he wants to be,

336
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: he'll be the coach there in twenty thirty and twenty

337
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: thirty five. You will not be playing at Georgia in

338
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: twenty thirty or twenty thirty five, And especially if you're

339
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: an upper classman at Georgia, this is your shot. You

340
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: got one shot to be a team captain at Georgia,

341
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: and then you'll talk about those years for the remainder

342
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: of your life. You will come back there in the

343
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: year twenty sixty and people will remember you and your

344
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: brief time at Georgia based on what you guys accomplished.

345
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: And I'm just speaking as someone from the sideline. If

346
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: I were a junior or a senior on that team

347
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: and I knew what the stigma was around our program,

348
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: maybe when I was a freshman, I couldn't do anything

349
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: about it. Maybe even when I was a sophomore, aside

350
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: from keeping my own nose clean, I couldn't do anything

351
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: about it. But man, when it's my team, when I'm

352
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: a team captain, if you think I'm letting this stuff

353
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: stand between us and maximizing my results at Georgia in

354
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: the brief time I'm at Georgia, you will have to

355
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: I won't use that kind of language per se because

356
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: I want Little Johnny to be able to listen to

357
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: the show. There were there'd be extreme measures you'd have

358
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: to take to keep me off of somebody. The players

359
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: have to police this stuff. The best teams are never

360
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: coach led. The best teams are player led. The best

361
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: teams do not need coaches peeking over their shoulder. The

362
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: best teams don't need coaches tracking their driving in an app.

363
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: They don't need pi's out there surveilling them. They they

364
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: take care of their business because they're professionals, or at

365
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: least they act like them, and they take care of

366
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: each other. There are matters taken care of in house

367
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: before coach ever has to address them. That's the way

368
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: all the championship teams have been. I don't know if

369
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: Georgia fell short last year because they lacked that. Maybe

370
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: they did, maybe they didn't. Maybe they just weren't as

371
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: good a team. Maybe this had something to do with

372
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: them not being as good a team. But I will

373
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: promise you this, if that's not addressed, and if there's

374
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: not leadership, I know they're a young team, but you know,

375
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: leadership's relative. It's not always directly tied to what grade

376
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: you're in. Folks have to step up in that locker room,

377
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: that coaching staff. That coaching staff's gonna bear the brunt

378
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: of it. But that coaching staff's not on the field.

379
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: The players are on the field. So I will always

380
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: believe this about team. Like organized competition, coaches are great

381
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: and coaches are good to sort of steer, but the

382
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: ones with their hands really on the wheel are captains

383
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: of any team. So yet again we sit here, embarking

384
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: on a new season, and we're asking the same question.

385
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: Does Georgia have a chronic issue? And if so, what

386
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: is leadership they're gonna do? And to me, leadership is

387
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: not just ad head coach staff, it's captains, whoever those

388
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 1: may be on this year's team. Academy Sports and Outdoors

389
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: still selling Georgia gear. You know you can still dress

390
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: like the best, or if you know what, if you

391
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: don't want to do that, go buy a Tennessee cap,

392
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: Go buy a North Carolina tea. Whatever you do. You

393
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: may need equipment for baseball, especially this time of year.

394
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: You may need to grill out in a pinch, or

395
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: just at your leisure. You may want to hit the

396
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: lake and just go fishing. All of these things fit

397
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: our lifestyle, and all of these things can be geared

398
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: up for it. Academy Sports and Outdoors. And if you

399
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: can't get there in person, I read you. If you

400
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: can't get there in person, and all of you can't.

401
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: We're not in every city yet yet, Harrisburg, you can't

402
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: say that anymore up there? Can you? Proudly, proudly located

403
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: in Harrisburg, PA. Now. But if you can't get there

404
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: in person. Academy dot Com has you taken care of, guys.

405
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: They bring this show to the world for free. They

406
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: make it such that we never have to put the

407
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: show behind some paywall. That would be terrible. And if

408
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: I ever had to ask anyone to pay for the show,

409
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: I would probably quit the show. So Academy said, don't

410
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: worry about all that. We'll pay to keep the lights on.

411
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: Just tell folks to come visit us. So I'm asking

412
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: you visit Academy Sports, not doors. Let's move on one

413
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: of the healthiest debates but also pointless debates. Maybe it's

414
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: not a debate that can be one. Maybe it's not pointless,

415
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: but it's not a debate that can be one. But

416
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna delve into it anyway. Happy to have you

417
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: guys watching live. Yeah. So Joe from Tacoma, Washington aka

418
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: Big ten Country. Now, he said, hey, settle an argument

419
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: for me which conference is better, the SEC or the

420
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: Big Ten. My friend is arguing the Big Ten is

421
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: better because they won the last two national titles. I'm

422
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: sitting over here saying the depth of the SEC overpowers

423
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: the Big ten, but it ends up hurting the conference.

424
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: First off, Joe, I don't know many guys carrying the

425
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: SEC flag Intoacoma, Washington, home of the Tacoma Dome, one

426
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: of the great arena names in our country. So good

427
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: for you for being brave. If nothing else, I can't

428
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: win this, Joe. You can't win this. Your friend can't

429
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: win this. No one can win this debate. This is

430
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: what Memal called four way action immunity, meaning both sides

431
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: of the debate are winners and losers. It all comes

432
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: down to who's more persuasive, because it really all comes

433
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: down to your personal preference. If you care about depth

434
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: versus caring about the very top, you could have two

435
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: totally different answers here. Also, if you're trained in the

436
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: classical art of debate, this is the best topic imaginable.

437
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: This is the kind of topic. It's like bo versus Herschel.

438
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: If you're any good at debate, and the argument is

439
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: gonna be bo versus Herschel, or it's gonna be SEC

440
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: versus Big ten. If you really want to flex on

441
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: your opponent, you tell them pick whichever side you want.

442
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll take the other side. I'll beat you.

443
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: I'll beat you on one side, and then just for fun,

444
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: we can switch size and I'll still beat you. That's

445
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: kind of the way the SEC versus Big Ten debate

446
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: is right now, Value, Joe, what is your friend value?

447
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: If you value, for example, the weight of teams at

448
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: the top. Recently, like last year, I thought Ohio State

449
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: and Oregon were better than anything the SEC could spit out.

450
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: So they've also had the last two national champion winners

451
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Michigan, So I would say, if you

452
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: cared about that, then that means the Big ten's the

453
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: best conference in America right now. Also, coming into this

454
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 1: year at FanDuel, the Big Ten has three of the

455
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: top five teams in the Odds Board to win the

456
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: national title. So early indications are, if you're strictly looking

457
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: at the top, Big Ten greater than SEC yet again maybe,

458
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: but then your friend could say, I don't really care

459
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: about that as much as I care about overall depth.

460
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: And if you care about that, the SEC, I think

461
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: still rules the day because they got eight of the

462
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: top fifteen teams in the Odds Board right now. The

463
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: Big Ten has four. So the thinking there is Ohio State, Oregon,

464
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: Penn State, Michigan, like any given order, once you get

465
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: past them, the second layer and third layer definitive edge

466
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: to the sec. Your Tennessee's and LSUS and Texas A

467
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: and M's and Alabamas measured against your Iowa's or Illinois

468
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: or Michigan State or Indiana. Big edge to the sec.

469
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: You see my point here? It all depends on personal preference.

470
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: Like what's the best color, what's the best room temperature?

471
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: It really all depends on personal preference. Now where does

472
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: this end up? Mattering? In our hearts? Yes, but in

473
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: our minds? Does it really matter? Does it matter? Huh?

474
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: I actually I heard a lot of yeses there. See,

475
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: I try and channel what you guys say to me.

476
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: I know many of you. I actually have done this myself.

477
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: If you listen to the show, if you listen to

478
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: the podcast version of the show, when you're working out,

479
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: you probably talk. First off, you guys have no clue

480
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: how many people can hear you. I'm not discouraging you

481
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 1: from talking. I'm just saying know that people can hear you.

482
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: But when I ask questions, I could see you in

483
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: between in between sets on the peck deck machines, and yeah,

484
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: it matters. And you know, fifty eight year old lady

485
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: on the treadmill is looking at you. It doesn't matter, lady,

486
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: mind your own business. Yes it matters. Okay, Well, if

487
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: you're telling me it matters, where does it matter? Where

488
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: does conference supremacy matter? Well, Josh, it seems to matter

489
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: a whole heck of a lot when it comes to

490
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: the playoff selection process. True, but is it gonna matter?

491
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: They're about to change this thing. You guys know as

492
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: well as I do. They're about to change the format

493
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: of this playoff. If not this year, then definitely next year.

494
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: And the SEC is gonna know how many spots they

495
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: get already. The Big Ten's gonna know how many spots

496
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: they get already. So is it really gonna matter aside

497
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: from good like water cooler conversation, which league is supreme? Well, Josh, yes,

498
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: because strength of schedule. You know what, you actually just

499
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: convinced me. This is how twisted this show is. We

500
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: don't have a studio audience, but yet you're so in

501
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: tune with the audience that you know what the audience

502
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: would say. And the audience that is not even in

503
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: the room right now, just change my mind. So you

504
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: guys are right about this. Follow me here. It takes

505
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 1: a sophisticated, sophisticated sense to understand what's happening. And if

506
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: you're a first time listener or a viewer you think

507
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: this is a little psychotic, that's okay and stick around

508
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: though it'll make sense in time. You guys are right.

509
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: Though for those of you saying strength of schedule really

510
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: comes into play here, you're right. You're right because I

511
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: have long banged the drum on this show that I

512
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: don't think strength of schedule is properly interpreted. And if

513
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: you're saying it's important to know how deep the Big

514
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: Ten is or the SEC is, because it's important to

515
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: know what a nine to three really means in the

516
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: Big Ten versus in the ACC, then yes, yes, you're right.

517
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: And another good point you guys are probably making right now,

518
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: so let me make it for you, is just because

519
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big Ten know how many teams

520
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: they're going to get in, there's no guarantee where they'll

521
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: be seated, which is tied to strength of schedule or

522
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: perception thereof. So I'm gonna be honest, Jesse and Kanna,

523
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: I think we just accomplished more with no studio audience

524
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: than many shows would if they did a full town hall.

525
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: They always say, you never change your mind on anything,

526
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: You just think you're right about everything. Well, of course,

527
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm right about everything. Everybody thinks they're right

528
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: about everything. Otherwise you wouldn't think the thing trick. It's

529
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: a trick question. Your buddy accuses you of thinking you're

530
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: right on everything. Ask him, do you think you're right

531
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: on everything? Of course I don't really What opinion do

532
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: you have that you think is wrong? Uh? Yeah, I

533
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: think I'm right on everything. The important part is being

534
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: open to having your mind changed. And you guys just

535
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: change my mind. You're not even in here crazy. Let's

536
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: move along. There are actual on field matters to discuss.

537
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, we got to help solid live audience right now,

538
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: considering that there are, shall we say, other sports being played.

539
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: That's as specific as i'd like to get. In the meantime,

540
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: let me go to see who won the Saint Mary's game. Oh,

541
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: Illinois got beat Okay, all right, brackets still perfect. You're

542
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to take my word for it. I should

543
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: have screenshatted, which is the past tense of screenshot. I

544
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: should have screenshat it, but I didn't. But as I

545
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: said on Twitter yesterday, you guys know I've never lied

546
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: to you about college basketball. Why would I start now?

547
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: I got something in my eye. I'm not winking at

548
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: the camera. Certainly, that doesn't sound like something I would do.

549
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: I just have something in my eye. No immunity. Let's

550
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: move on spring intel camps opening up all across the country. Now,

551
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: I can't talk about your program if spring ball hasn't

552
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: opened for you yet. So that's that's a nod to

553
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: everyone saying that we're ignoring them. We're not ignoring your team.

554
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: You may not be practicing yet. Miami is because they

555
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: can practice any time of year. They want to know

556
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: Carson Beck transferred there. Yes, yes, yes, all of you

557
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: know that he's had some personal life drama. It's not

558
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: very serious. If you don't know what I'm talking about,

559
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: don't waste your time with it. But you know many

560
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: people with social media accounts, you also know that. Here's

561
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: what's important for you to know when it comes to football.

562
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: He's not able to practice right now. Carson Beck transferred

563
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 1: there from Georgia to Miami. He's not able to practice

564
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: because he had surgery, So he's having to take the

565
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: good old fashioned mental reps right now. And I believe

566
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: that means Emery Williams Jesse would be taking the first

567
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: team reps down there at quarterback. But that's not the

568
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: primary concern right now. Yes, it is the primary concern

569
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: whether Carson Beck's going to be okay. They think he

570
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: will be. They think he'll be ready to start in

571
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: week one. Who's he throwing the ball to? Because Miami

572
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: is trying to replace their top six pass catchers. So

573
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: what we're paying attention to here is who's it going

574
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: to be? Jojo Trader and Nyakarr are two guys that

575
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: just have to work out for them. Now, this is

576
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: where Mario Christobaul's recruiting classes matter. So he's been there

577
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: three years. Their first class is now a bunch of juniors,

578
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: and yeah, they've taken guys out of the portal, but

579
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: this is really when the primary layer of their team

580
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: is going to be guys they recruited. So now we

581
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: really find out, I mean, Mario's reputation is that of

582
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: a phenomenal recruiter, Well it better be, because this is

583
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: where these guys have to step up. So these two

584
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: Trader and car they have to step up. Those are

585
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: they're both top one hundred guys from the twenty twenty

586
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: four cycles, so their second year guys, they were both

587
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: top one hundred them along with Elijah Lofton at tight end.

588
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: I speaking of myself here, I'm counting on them and

589
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: then some those are guys I need to step up

590
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: at the top of their rooms and then everything else

591
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: works off of them. I'm also keeping a really close

592
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: eye on their defensive progress because they may changes at

593
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: coordinator there, and they may staff changes. Really not just

594
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: cor the DBS specifically. They went to the portal to

595
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: address that. And it's gonna be tough getting feedback from

596
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: Miami because you know, on one hand, the DBS may

597
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: have a great day, but then you may look and say, well,

598
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: who do they go against in eleven on eleven good

599
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: on good? Well, they went against Emery Williams and it looks,

600
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: all due respect, he's not slated to start from Miami.

601
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna face better quarterbacks than that. How do we

602
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: really know what they are? Well, you may not, I

603
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: may not. They'll probably have a pretty good idea. It's early,

604
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: so I'm not casting aspersions. I'm not handing out crowns yet.

605
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's important for Miami. LSU good, good breadth.

606
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: The feedback from LSU. I feel good about them. I

607
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: feel good about LSU. I'm ready to say some irresponsible

608
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: things about LSU. I'm ready to write some checks that

609
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: that team can't cash and then blame them and call

610
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: them overrated, because that's the thing you do, right. You

611
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: pick a team to win and they don't, you call

612
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: them overrated as their fault, not your fault. High level

613
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: recruiting meshing with strategic aggression in the transfer portal. That

614
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: feels like it's happening at LSU. It's early in spring. Yes,

615
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: that's the caveat for all this. But when you look

616
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: at several positions at LSU right now, for instance, the

617
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: edge position Jack Pyburn transferred in there from Florida, Patrick

618
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: Payton transferred in there from FSU. You pair them up

619
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: with guys like Gabriel Rollaford, who was a four star

620
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: guy in their twenty twenty four class, and he's been

621
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: the talk of camp. By the way. That is this

622
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: one example of the meshing of good recruiting with really

623
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: aggressive must have moves in the portal. What do we

624
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: know about the portal? You think everyone's going to pan out,

625
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: and in reality, less than half of them will. That's

626
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: what the brief history of the portal has taught us.

627
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: But we had case by case examples where team's just

628
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: killed it in the portal and they batted a thousand

629
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: and their entire portal class pan Well, I don't know

630
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: if that's going to be LSU or not. I'm just

631
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: saying I feel particularly good about LSU's plug and play

632
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: types out of the portal. I'm not done at corner

633
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: Checkem Jackson from Florida. I think they fully expect him

634
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: to lock down a starting spot. And then you know

635
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: LSU's had trouble defending the pace. As Frank Broyles would say,

636
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: you got to defend a piece. Yeah, they've had trouble there.

637
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: So we don't stop. We don't stop at Chakiem Jackson.

638
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: But that's a good thing to count on. But then

639
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: I go other rooms. Offensive tackle, they're having to replace

640
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: left tackle, they're having to replace right tackle. Well, you

641
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: would think spring would be a great mystery. I don't

642
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: think it is. I think Tyree Adams and Weston Davis,

643
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: a couple of four stars from the twenty twenty three

644
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four class. Is I think they've got

645
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: those jobs, not locked down, but I feel like writing

646
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: their name in very very solid pencil, maybe even light

647
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: pen at this point. And then DJ Chester on the

648
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: interior of the offense line. I'm just telling you, like

649
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: I would have thought LSU's offensive line was going to

650
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: be a bigger question in my mind at this point

651
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: in spring than it is. And then you got to

652
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: cross your fingers for health and cohesion and all that

653
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: sort of thing. At tight end, they grabbed a Bower

654
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: Sharp out of the portal, and then you add him

655
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: with TRiDaS Green, who's a four star from their twenty

656
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: twenty four class. My point here with LSU is you

657
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: look at a lot of different position rooms and you

658
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: look in there at the guys you're counting on to start,

659
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: and case by case by case, over and over and

660
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: over again, you see guys we recruited that are multiple

661
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: years into the system now, and we're pairing them up

662
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: with guys that we got out of the portal. That's

663
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way you play this game in

664
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: the modern age. That's the way you do it. You

665
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: count on your recruiting to be the bedrock, and then

666
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: you go supplement via the portal. And it's early I mean,

667
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: it's late March. I know, I know, I know, you

668
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: don't have to tell me that. But I feel pretty

669
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: good about LSU. Not a ton of just glaring red

670
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: question marks right now now with them Texas Tech in

671
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, America's College Football Conference, Texas Tech major

672
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: size upgrades at offensive line and defensive line. This team

673
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: will look totally different this year than they did last

674
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: year because it is a totally different team. They went

675
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: and grabbed eleven blue chippers out of the portal. I

676
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: think they're very happy at tackle. Say that when you

677
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: can say that, because not a lot of people are

678
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: happy with their offensive tackle situation right now. But Howard

679
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: Sampson from North Carolina, Will Jado's from Miami of Ohio,

680
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: I believe that you can check me on that looks

681
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: pretty good. They're really big, especially by Big Twelve standards.

682
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: They're really big on the lines of scrimmage, and then

683
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: in the secondary. They were one hundred and thirty third

684
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: in pass yards per game allowed last year, so they

685
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: just went added five dbs. Now I'm gonna go out

686
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: there this week. I shouldn't have said that. Oh well,

687
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: we're deep in the show. Now I'm gonna go out

688
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: there to Lubbig and watch them practice this week and

689
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 1: get a good feel of this, and proceed to keep

690
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: my mouth shut, because that's the trade off. You don't

691
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: talk about watching closed practices, but pop the knuckle time

692
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: really interested to see that secondary and as good a

693
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: feel as you can get a few practices in the spring. Also,

694
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: great facility enhancements in Lubbick. I'm told we'll see you know,

695
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: we'll see good job, Jesse, good catch. So I would

696
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: also like to talk to you about Wisconsin. There was

697
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: a glitch in the notes. I told that's why we

698
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: skipped over Wisconsin. Do you know what they did when

699
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: Luke Fickle first got there. You remember they hired Phil

700
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: Longo and that raised some eyebrowse You know, Phil Longo

701
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: does not exactly run the kind of offense synonymous with

702
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: vintage Wisconsin. We had Luke Fickel on the show. I

703
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: remember this. Now I've forgotten all about this. So we

704
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: had Luke Fikel on the show, and I said how

705
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: different do you plan on doing things from what vintage

706
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: Wisconsin was? And he was all about it. He said,

707
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna look radically different. That's why

708
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: we're here. We were brought in. The previous staff's out

709
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: and we're here because we need to do something different.

710
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: We got to get with the modern age offensively, and

711
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: it just didn't go good, didn't go well at all.

712
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: They never had the right quarterback up there, and so

713
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: when they have Mordecai and then Tyler van Dyck, and

714
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: maybe that's the reason it didn't work out. Anyway, A

715
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: Longo's gone off to Sam Houston State now and they

716
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: brought in Jeff Grimes. And what does Wisconsin offense mean?

717
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, what will it be? Will it end up

718
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 1: being what it used to mean? I think there's probably

719
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: a commitment to get back to that. I think they're

720
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: high on Billy Edwards. They went to Maryland and got

721
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: him in the transfer portal at quarterback. He's not gonna

722
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: be touted. He won't be on many preseason All American lists,

723
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 1: and by many, I mean he won't be on any

724
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: preseason All American list. That's okay, though they feel like

725
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: for what they want to do. Billy Edwards is fine.

726
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: They took eighteen transfers there, though seven of them were

727
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. That's a lot, is their quality there.

728
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: Quantity does not automatically equal quality. It's the first time

729
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: anyone's ever said that. Quote us on that quality does

730
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: not always equal quantity. That was Josh Payton twenty twenty five.

731
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: Unbelievable quote. But that's what they're counting on. That's what

732
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: they're counting on. So that's a little glimpse in the

733
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: spring intel there in Madison. I expect to hear a

734
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: lot more from up there. They're watching us in Columbus, Ohio, Hamilton, Ontario,

735
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Canada is tuned in, I believe, home of Breakdown nineteen

736
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: ninety eight, Jesse and also Homa, Louisiana, old Mid South

737
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: Territory town. You know there's somebody in Homa that's sixty

738
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: eight years old who once went and watched Mid South

739
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: wrestling down there. And if you did, or your grandfather did.

740
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: I've heard stories about Biloxi, about Lake Charles, about Homa,

741
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: about some of those shows they used to run, and

742
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: how violent they got and how bad the riots were.

743
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: Ye I've been hanging out on Cornett's channel a little bit.

744
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: I want first person accounts though. If anyone's grandpap used

745
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: to go to the matches there in Homer, tell them

746
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: thank you for watching. If you're watching, and I want

747
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: to hear some stories. Okay, let's move it along. Had

748
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: another great question, as they I can't lie to you guys.

749
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: Some of the questions aren't good, but many of the

750
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: questions are good, and we try to get as many

751
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: of them as we can on the show. As soon

752
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: as I re enter my password here, I got to

753
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: get a new password. My goodness, that's aiden. Uh yeah.

754
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: So Connor hit us from San Diego. He said, I

755
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: know it's early, but if you had to draft the

756
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: top conference games you would like to attend this year

757
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: on the tour, what would they be? Connor? I'm going

758
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: in no particular order here, but I do accept your challenge.

759
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: Oregon at Penn State. That's happening pretty early. Oregon plays

760
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: at Penn State in week five, So sign me up

761
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: for this. Penn State's shot here to really punch up.

762
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: That's what I'm most interested in. So Penn State, the

763
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: reputation has been they beat everyone they're supposed to. They

764
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: lose to everyone they're supposed to. Well, is this not

765
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: a spot, at least perceptionally where you look at Penn

766
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: State you say, I think they're the third or fourth

767
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: best program in the Big Ten. I think Oregon's better

768
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: than them. Well, I mean they just played them in

769
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: the Big Ten title game. They lost to them. So

770
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: I think most folks would look and say Oregon versus

771
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: Penn State, Oregon should win that game. All right, stop,

772
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: stop right there. If that's what you think, that's all

773
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: I need. That means this is Penn State's chance. Now

774
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: you do realize Actually, I say that sarcastically. I don't

775
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: think many realize yet that Oregon is one hundred and

776
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 1: ninth in returning production. They are at a significant schedule

777
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: disadvantage in this game because they'll be playing their fifth

778
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: straight game and Penn State will be off a buy

779
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: at home. Penn State brings back a ton, like I said,

780
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: Oregon doesn't. Is this the underdog spot that we think

781
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: it will be? Actually, I don't think it will be.

782
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: But I think fifty one plus percent of the public

783
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: right now would think this is an underdog spot for

784
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: Penn State. Well, anyway, that's all I need. If that's perception,

785
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: then even though perception is not always reality, it will

786
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: be for our purpi plural of purpose. This is their

787
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: chance to punch up. Probably gonna be a good, good

788
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: gift there if I go and clip that later. And

789
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: so for that reason, and also for the reason of

790
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: seeing a big game in Beaver Stadium, even if they

791
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: curse it with big new kickoff. It's not up to me, guys,

792
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: It's not up to me. I'd love to be there.

793
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: LSU Bama is always on my list. It's one of

794
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: my favorite games, has been for a long time. LSU

795
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: at Alabama that is Week eleven. Now here's the premise here.

796
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: I think LSU is legit this year, and I also

797
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: think Bama will be radically better in totality under Kaylin Debor.

798
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: We don't know what the quarterback situation is going to be,

799
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,479
Speaker 1: but overall, I think the net result is they'll level

800
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: up in year two. So I think it'll be big

801
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: on big. I think it'll be a good matchup. It's

802
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: always one of the games of the year in the

803
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: SEC environment wise, and I also think about the year's

804
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: LSU popped the year's LSU's had their vintage teams. Three

805
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: they won the title, they won in Tuscalosa. Oh. Seven

806
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: they won the title they won in Tuscaloosa. That twenty

807
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: eleven team ended up winning in Tuscaloosa in the Game

808
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: of the Century. They lose in the rematch in the

809
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: National Title Game. Still a special team though. Twenty nineteen

810
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow in company they go into Tuscaloosa and win.

811
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: So the great LSU teams they've all had one thing

812
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: in common. They go through Bama at Bama. So if

813
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: this year's LSU team is to be that history says

814
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: it's a good spot. You would think that being on

815
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: the road's tough, but in this series, the road team

816
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: is dominated. Like both ways, the road team is largely dominated.

817
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: And so I'm picking that one. It's a little bit

818
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: later in the season, but I'm picking that one. Always

819
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: a great conference game in the SEC now to go

820
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: out of both of the big conferences, because we care

821
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: about conference championships in totality on this show, we care

822
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: about conference races in totality. Here at Peyton State, gimme

823
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: Clemson at Georgia Tech in week three. This is not

824
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: on many radars right now it should be. I think

825
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is a sleeper team to win the ACC

826
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: this year. I think that they're sitting there at home

827
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: early in the season. It could be could be an

828
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: ACC Quarterback of the Year type matchup. Now, I know

829
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: that they'll hear that in Dallas and they won't like it.

830
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: They'll hear that in Louisville and they won't like it.

831
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: I said match up. I got ka Klubnick, and I

832
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: got Haines King. I mean, I've got a team that

833
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: is priding itself and going toe to toe with the

834
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: big boys at Georgia Tech, maybe even becoming one themselves.

835
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: I think Georgia Tech's got the inside track to Charlotte

836
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: if they win this game. I'm dead serious, Colin. You're

837
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: showing me Clemson schedule right now? By chance? Do we

838
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: have Georgia Tech's schedule, because we talked about this last week. Okay,

839
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: so picture this with me. You look at their schedule.

840
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: We have them playing a couple of Tier one games.

841
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: It's Clemson and it's Georgia Both of those are at home.

842
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,959
Speaker 1: Only one of them is a conference game, it's this one.

843
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: If they win this which is certainly not out of

844
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility. They don't even have a Tier

845
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: two game on their schedule. It just just goes straight

846
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: to Tier three. So it's very very navigable for them.

847
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: So for that reason, and also for Clemson, if Clemson

848
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: loses to LSU in week one, they're in wounded animal

849
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: mode already, and if they beat LSU in week one,

850
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: they could be overhyped. They could be overrated, at which

851
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: point I'll just be asking, what are they raiding? I

852
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: think this will be a really good game. I think

853
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: Texas Tech at Arizona State is going to be good.

854
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: I draft that one since I'm not being held to

855
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: these this could be the big twelve game of the year.

856
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: Two totally different approaches to this season. Arizona State. You know,

857
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: they lost cam Scatawouy. They basically didn't lose anything else.

858
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: They didn't lose any coaches either. They're number two in

859
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: the country in returning production, their top five on both

860
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Texas Tech brought in the number

861
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: three portal class and they play in Week eight. That

862
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: one's in Tempe. That is a big week. There are

863
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: some big games that week. I think that's the third

864
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: Saturday in October. I think it is, so I'm looking

865
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: forward to that one. I'll tell you another one to

866
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: go back to the SEC for a second. Almost went

867
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: Texas OU, which honestly it could be on here. Texas

868
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: plays at Florida this year. This is one of those

869
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: non traditional mega brand matchups. They don't play regularly. It's

870
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: not a traditional rivalry, but Texas and Florida are two

871
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: of the biggest brands in the history of the sport

872
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: SEC and beyond, two of the biggest brands in college football.

873
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: So they play that's a big deal. They played last year,

874
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: Lagway either got hurt or didn't play at all, and

875
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: it was just a blowout favor of Texas. I don't

876
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the case this year. This game

877
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: happens in Week six, arch manning DJ Lagway. Assuming both

878
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 1: of them are on the field, Florida will have already

879
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: played LSU and Miami. Texas will have played at Ohio

880
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: State in Week one, so they will have already both

881
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: played big games on the road. They will have already

882
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: played big competition. I mean, think about that trip for Texas.

883
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: I don't think many people are talking about this right now.

884
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: Because many people are just gonna look at that Florida

885
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: over under win total and they're gonna not expect much

886
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: from Florida. And I'm telling you, Florida's gonna be a

887
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: really good team this year. I think they're gonna be

888
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 1: a really good team. And I think if you've changed

889
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: their schedule out, then that'd be one of the favorites

890
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: to make the playoff. They won't be because their schedule

891
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,959
Speaker 1: is tough. Again. But the thing about it is they're

892
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 1: not playing their schedule this day. They're just playing Texas.

893
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: They're playing one team, and so Texas I think may

894
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: have their hands full. I could have picked a number

895
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: of Florida games. Actually, I'm very intrigued by this team,

896
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: just finding out what the caliber of that team is.

897
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: We won't know when they play Long Island in Week one,

898
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: but we will know by week five or six or

899
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,959
Speaker 1: whenever that is last one. Of course. I mean, of course,

900
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 1: if you're drafting for its games, I'm going to Ohio

901
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: State Michigan. This game's in ann Arbor this year. Our

902
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 1: chat has been especially especially toxic lately with Ohio State

903
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: Michigan flavor, and you can imagine what it looks like

904
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of well, we've beaten you four in

905
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: a row. Yeah, but we won a national title, and

906
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,479
Speaker 1: each one thinks that the other is more significant, and hey,

907
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: we love the engagement. So keep it up, you know,

908
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: keep it clean, but keep it up. Last week, last week,

909
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: some of you got over the line. Jesse had to

910
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: swing the band hammer. He had to be the bad guy.

911
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: I came back in afterwards. I changed it to just

912
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: a suspension. So shame on Jesse. Jesse's the principal. And

913
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: then and then I'm the cool substitute teacher that comes

914
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: in on the backside. But it's classic streak versus title.

915
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: What do you care about more? Both of them will

916
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: be talking that way. Now, here's the other thing. There's

917
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: the mental hurdle aspect right now, which we cannot ignore anymore.

918
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 1: Once Michigan won this thing last year, I was convinced

919
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: this is a bona fide mental issue. It's a psychological

920
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: issue for Ohio State. So that doesn't go anywhere. It

921
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: just rests for a little while. Because you only play

922
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: one game a year, it's a rivalry game. It's the

923
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: best rivalry in college football in my opinion, So it

924
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: carries maximum value. You really don't need to sell yourself

925
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: on this. But here's what else we don't know. Then,

926
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: I'm growing more and more concerned about the whole NCUBA

927
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: cloud that is lingering over Michigan by this time. Do

928
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: we have finality on that? Have we found out one

929
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: way or another where the nc DOUBLEA is going on this?

930
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they're all kind of wild headlines of wild

931
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: rumors about this right now, and I'm not trafficking in

932
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: any of them. I still stand my ground on that.

933
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: When something's official, I'll be happy to talk about it.

934
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 1: Until then, not so much. That's what your local message

935
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: board is for. But yeah, give me Ohio State, Michigan,

936
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: and give me a couple of stops at Quick Trip

937
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: along the way, quick trip fueling our tour, fueling our

938
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,479
Speaker 1: spring tour, fueling everything and beyond col Brew on tap. Many,

939
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: many of you per week are giving me testimonials that

940
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: you stopped at the Quick Trip, and you could stop anywhere,

941
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: So we appreciate you stopping a quick trip and you

942
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 1: go in there and you see the cold brew on tap,

943
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: and you pull that tap and col Brew comes out,

944
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: and it's like, can this be real? Yes, yes, it

945
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: can be real and it can be yours unless they're

946
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: servicing it late at night. A lot of times I'm

947
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: on the road. That's the one complaint I've had. I

948
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: haven't hit up Joe yet, but when I'm on the

949
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: road coming through like Ringold Georgia at two forty five am,

950
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: and the staff there is cleaning up the cold brew

951
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: on tap, I'm glad that we have procedures in place

952
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: to clean up. I just could we please coordinate it

953
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: with my road trips. That's all I'm asking. I'm fighting

954
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: for us, guys. But yeah, quick trip. They'll hook you up.

955
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: Get some Cheetos. In the meantime, Let's tell the truth.

956
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: That's what we're about on this show. Let's tell the truth.

957
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: This went well the other night, so we're gonna do

958
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: it again tonight. I basically I'm just picking names out

959
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: of the blue. What is the truth about Lincoln Riley,

960
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: head coach at USC Yes, that's true, he was the

961
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: head coach at Oklahoma before that. Yes, that's true. Lincoln Riley.

962
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: He seems like he's been doing this for a while

963
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: because he has. I think there are probably a lot

964
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: of people watching the show who would tell you they

965
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: believe Lincoln Riley will never get done. He can't do this,

966
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: he cannot do that. We believe more In hasn't rather

967
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: than can't on this show semantics. Though he's forty one

968
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: years old, anybody who thinks he can't do something, I

969
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: just caution you. He's forty one years old. Lincoln Riley

970
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: could coach twelve more years and then he would only

971
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: be as old as Nick Saban was when Saban won

972
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: his first national title. All I'm trying to caution you

973
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: on is just let's pump the brakes a little bit

974
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: on saying a guy can't do something when the greatest

975
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: of all time had not done that thing you're talking

976
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: about until he was twelve years older than Lincoln Riley is.

977
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 1: Right now, That's all I'm saying. It's classic, classic victim

978
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: of the ten or trash era. Is I like to

979
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: call it, You say it quickly, tenor trash. Tenor trash.

980
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're really hating on a musical group

981
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: on stage or maybe the University of Tennessee. No tenor

982
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: trash is either you're a ten or your trash green

983
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: culture poison the well of conversation in college football and sports.

984
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: So if you hadn't won a title, there is a

985
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: buddy you have, or maybe you are the buddy and

986
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: that buddy or you screams, well, what does he won?

987
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: What does he want? What has he done? I take

988
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: the opposite approach. It's nice to have won a title.

989
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. I do think there's some quality

990
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: coaches out there that haven't won national championships. So Lincoln Riley,

991
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: his defenses have been very questionable, very very suspect to

992
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: outright bad. But one of the things we do know

993
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: is these are his total offense numbers since he's been

994
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: a head coach first, first, third, eleventh, eighteenth, third, tenth,

995
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: and twenty third. He's had three Heisman winning quarterbacks. He's

996
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: had three number one overall draft pick quarterbacks. He's had

997
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: five double digit win seasons out of the eight that

998
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: he's been a head coach. One of those was the

999
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: COVID season and he won nine games that year. So

1000
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: what do we know? Lincoln Riley doesn't suck. He's not terrible.

1001
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: He's also not the greatest coach walking the planet right now.

1002
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: There are some out there with better resumes. There are

1003
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: far more out there with worse resumes than better. And

1004
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: so Lincoln Riley is a top fifteen active head coach safely,

1005
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: probably better than that, but we'll see where we rate him.

1006
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: We'll do that a little bit later on. Anyway, suffice

1007
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: it to say, there's a lot of good about Lincoln

1008
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: Riley and then there's some bad. His defenses have been

1009
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about, because basically, if you're a

1010
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,959
Speaker 1: detractor here, all you would say is you just gave

1011
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: me reason to believe he's a great offensive coordinator. Josh,

1012
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: I want to believe he's a great head coach. Fair point,

1013
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: fair point, Okay, point taken. And there's a lot of

1014
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: criticism about Lincoln Riley the head coach, which is fair

1015
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: and I'll get to in a second. But there's also

1016
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism about the way he left Oklahoma.

1017
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: And for the crowd that doesn't like Lincoln Riley, I

1018
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: find that not all of them despise Lincoln Riley because

1019
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: they don't like the way he puts a staff together.

1020
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: A lot of you don't like Lincoln Riley because you

1021
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: don't like the way he carries himself, or you don't

1022
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: like the way he left Oklahoma. And if you're an

1023
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma fan. I'll never ask you to like Lincoln Riley,

1024
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: nor do I need you to think rationally about this.

1025
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: I get it. The dude left you in the dead

1026
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: of night. A lot of people perceived it as he

1027
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: was running away from the SEC, because remember, you get

1028
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: the headline Oklahoma and Texas are going to the SEC,

1029
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 1: and then you get the headline Lincoln Riley is bolting

1030
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: for southern California in the middle of the night. It

1031
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: was crazy. It's really crazy. Remember, I think history is

1032
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: going to be miswritten on this. History will show, egregiously,

1033
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: erroneously that Lincoln Riley wasn't really running from the SEC

1034
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 1: because he was just going to the Big Ten. That's false.

1035
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't prove to you Lincoln Riley was running away

1036
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: from the SEC or not. Many of you think he was.

1037
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: But he was running to the PAC twelve. Nobody knew

1038
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: USC was going to the Big ten yet, and you'll

1039
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: never convince me he knew they were working on it

1040
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: out there. I don't know that they sold him on that.

1041
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that he ran from the SEC. He

1042
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: of course says he didn't. I'm not here to litigate that.

1043
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: You can have your opinion on that, but I will

1044
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: say he was going to what he thought was the

1045
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: PAC twelve and then it turned into USC in the

1046
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 1: Big ten, And I completely get. If you're an Oklahoma

1047
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: fan you don't like how he left, I don't care.

1048
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 1: If you're an Illinois fan, you could take issue umbradge

1049
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: as me Mal would say, with how he left. Lincoln

1050
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,959
Speaker 1: Riley doesn't do a whole lot of media. Lincoln Riley

1051
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: probably doesn't consume a whole lot of media. So it

1052
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: seems to me he never found it necessary to explain himself,

1053
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: which is fine. He doesn't owe anyone anything. I think

1054
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: he probably could have done himself some favors there. But

1055
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: if he doesn't care about public perception, then he doesn't care.

1056
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: So there's that now. It is my opinion that he

1057
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: made a couple of tactical errors when he took the

1058
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: USC job, and the first one was I don't think

1059
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 1: he's staffed right I don't think he's staffed defensively right now.

1060
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: It's really complicated when you take a new job and

1061
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: you're coming from a previous job, and you're not taking

1062
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: a new job because you're a coordinator. Let me back up,

1063
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 1: think about how think about how uncommon Lincoln Riley's hier

1064
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: at us. He was most of the time, when you

1065
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: get hired, you're a coordinator somewhere and you're taking a

1066
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: head coaching job, so no one was working for you

1067
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: previously because you were working for someone, and now you're

1068
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: getting your shot, or you're a head coach at a

1069
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: smaller program, and then you're getting to call up to

1070
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: the big time. And a lot of times you can't

1071
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: bring your entire staff with you because maybe while your

1072
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: new employer thinks that you're a big time if I

1073
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: hire you from Kent State, if I hire you from Buffalo,

1074
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 1: I may not think the entire Buffalo staff can move

1075
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: to Southern cal but maybe I think they're head coach.

1076
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: Can you follow me? So a lot of times you

1077
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: have very very viable reason to tell your old staff, sorry, guys,

1078
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: but I got to go hire from other big programs.

1079
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley came from a big time program and they

1080
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: were flying high. So Lincoln goes to USC And I've

1081
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: never had him confirmed this to me. It is my

1082
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: working theory that he looked and he said, I owe

1083
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: it to those guys to offer them to come with me.

1084
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: And it's also my opinion that he may secretly have

1085
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: hoped the defensive guys wouldn't. He may have hoped the

1086
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: defensive guys would stay at Oklahoma, but they came with him,

1087
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: and he was tied to a failing defensive coordinator at

1088
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: the outset, and it was pretty obvious to everyone, and

1089
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: I think it was probably obvious to him. But I

1090
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: also don't think he was willing to cut bait after

1091
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: one year, So we got a couple of years in.

1092
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: This is not to make excuses. It's his fault. He

1093
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: ultimately did cut bait. But you know, then you're three

1094
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: years in four years in asking folks to have patients,

1095
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: and that's not always the way it works in major

1096
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: college football. You don't get the experiment on USC's dime.

1097
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: You can do that at a smaller program, but you know,

1098
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: fan bases rightly look and say, man, with what we

1099
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: invest here, No, you got to go proven right out

1100
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: of the gate. You don't experiment, you don't try it out,

1101
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: you don't hope it works. So that's the first thing.

1102
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: The second thing, and this is not all on him,

1103
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: So I won't say this was totally his tactical error.

1104
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: I think that Lincoln Riley going to USC sounded great,

1105
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: and he made it look great. He went out there

1106
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: and he said, if we're going into the nil era,

1107
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: which we were at the time, where else would you

1108
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: rather be than Los Angeles, California. It made all the

1109
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: sense in the world, the Southern California media market, all

1110
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: the limitless opportunities around USC married with a winning head coach. Hey,

1111
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: it sounded great. Here's the problem. It just sounded great.

1112
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't great because they didn't have the alignment there,

1113
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that was out of

1114
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: his control. Candidly, even though he's the face of it.

1115
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: The staffing wasn't right, The strategy wasn't right, the alignment

1116
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't right. So that, on top of having a

1117
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: very very poor defensive staff set him back, and as

1118
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: a result, his record's gone downhill every year. Some would

1119
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: call that a trend. So what are we entering year

1120
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: four now? And if the trend's right, they're going to

1121
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: miss a bowl game this year. Now, I'm gonna give

1122
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: you my opinion. I actually don't think they're going to

1123
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: trend that way at all. I actually secretly kind of

1124
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: love what USC's done behind the scenes. I love the

1125
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: defensive moves he made last year, and I don't even

1126
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: think this is a guess. The defense of numbers greatly

1127
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: improved last year, so there's no guesswork there. Like you

1128
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: give de'anton lynn more and more runway, they'll just get

1129
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: better and better defensively. I believe that what else they've

1130
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: done is what that front office always should have looked

1131
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: like and the direction they always should have been going.

1132
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: They finally are going like they're finally pulling triggers. They

1133
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: were not willing to pull. The safety was on out there.

1134
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: They just taken the safety off, which never should have

1135
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: been on because it's USC. So here's the question, are

1136
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: you willing to just draw a line in the sand

1137
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: right now and say whatever happened in the past happened.

1138
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: We're willing to give you time from this point moving forward.

1139
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: We believe in you, we believe in the direction we're

1140
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna win. If your answer to that is yes, he's

1141
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: gonna win there, I think they'll win big time there.

1142
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: I think they'll be a national championship contender sooner rather

1143
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: than later. Maybe not this year, but I legitimately think

1144
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: that highly of USC's future. I'm really really on board

1145
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: with direction. But here's the other part, And I can't

1146
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: argue with this logic. If you tell me, no, we're

1147
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: not giving you any more time. You better win now

1148
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: or you're out, it wouldn't be my approach. But I

1149
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: can't get mad at you for feeling that way, because

1150
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: I do agree. I've always said on the show, if

1151
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: you invest as a fan what they ask you to invest,

1152
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: you should expect maximum return on that investment. Emotionally and

1153
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: financially for you, you should expect a return on that.

1154
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Delayed gratification I think will be a thing here. Maybe

1155
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have had to wait this long, but I

1156
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: think delayed gratification will be a thing. I think the

1157
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: truth about Lincoln Riley is he may be entering a

1158
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: brand new era of his career. And I think the

1159
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: truth about Lincoln Riley is, while he's had a lot

1160
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: of really, really good, cosmetic seasons, none of those teams

1161
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: were equipped to win a national championship because none of

1162
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: them were complete teams. He feels like, ironically, even off

1163
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: a seven to win season, he feels like he is

1164
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: closer to being able to construct that kind of team

1165
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: now than he has been at any point in his

1166
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: career to me, But it won't make sense to people

1167
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: who look at his win loss record from last year

1168
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: because I only just think that things start to term.

1169
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: It will not be reflected in the record yet. I

1170
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: think it will be if he's given time, we'll see.

1171

Speaker 1: You can go bet there over underwin told of FanDuel

Speaker 1: love that word? I always love the word chaos. Jonah

1205
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: from glen View, Illinois hit us. He said, what are

1206
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: some of the biggest things that could just cause chaos

1207
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: this year? Well, I'll tell you one of them, Jonah.

1208
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: If these favorites to win the national championship don't have

01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: right now, in any order, if you were to go

1211
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: to FanDuel, you would see Oregon's favored, Ohio State's favored,

1212
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Georgia's favored, Texas's favorite. Those are going to be your

1213
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: top four in some order. None of them return a

1214
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, none of them have over fifty percent returning production.

1215
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: All that means is you're going to see a bunch

1216
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: of new faces that are probably really talented. That's why

1217
01:03:55,760 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: they have a scholarship to Oregon. In Georgia, however, not proven.

1218
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: So you asked for a chaos scenario, Well, the chaos

1219
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: scenario is Arch is just okay. Gunner Stockton is average

1220
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: at best, Dante Moore sharp learning curve TD to I

1221
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: int ratio is not what it needs to be, Julian saying, eh,

1222
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: but you know nothing more. And elsewhere you don't have

1223
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: the returning production to really take the reins. If that

1224
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, well, then Penn State's got a shot, Illinoi's

1225
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: got a shot, Florida's got a shot. Like if that

1226
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, if the big boys aren't actually big boys

1227
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: this year, that could be chaotic. Because let's just be

1228
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: real now, if Arch Manning's great, or if Julian Saying

1229
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: is great, if Dante Moore is great, that greatly reduces

1230
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: the amount of teams that could win a title. Yeah,

1231
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: twelve of you are gonna make the playoff. Mathematically, that's

1232
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 1: a certainty. But we would go into it and we

1233
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: would know if the elite programs, at least a couple

1234
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: of them have elite quarterbacks, only a few of you

1235
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: can win the title. But if they don't, many many,

1236
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: many of you could win the title, including some names

1237
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: that you aren't used to being alive that late. Also,

1238
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about chaos? I'm parched. Sorry,

1239
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: we got to open ZeVA. We're back to cream soda tonight.

1240
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: By the way, Zeeba back to cream soda tradition. It's tradition, healthy, sup.

1241
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: Because I forgot to take one earlier question. You want chaos?

1242
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: You want to talk chaos. That's the word of the

1243
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: evening you want to use. I'll give you a chaotic scenario.

1244
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: What if someone pulls a Florida State. What if it's

1245
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: Florida State that pulls the Florida State. I'm talking about

1246
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: falling off a cliff. I'm talking about being worse than

1247
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: anyone could ever imagine in their worst, worst, worst nightmares.

1248
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: Obviously it was Florida State last year. I do not

1249
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: expect Florida State to be a two win team again

1250
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: this year. So if someone pulls a Florida State, it

1251
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: would be someone other than Florida State probably. Now natural

1252
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: follow up here would be, well, Josh, you're gonna throw

1253
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: that out there, guess who it would be. It's impossible.

1254
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 1: That's the whole point. If someone pulls a Florida State,

1255
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be where you least suspect it. It'll randomly

1256
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 1: be like Alabama or someone or Michigan or I mean,

1257
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: who would just be like completely crazy, George, I'll tell

1258
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: you here. Here's one. So Georgia won the SEC last year,

1259
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: FSU had won their conference the year before. If Georgia

1260
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: won four games this year, that would be worse than

1261
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: the absolute worst case that you could ever imagine for them,

1262
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: It would come out of nowhere. Well that's how we

1263
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: felt with Florida State last year. That's not a prediction,

1264
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: mind you. I'm just going with teams that won their

1265
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: conference last year. If they fell off, I don't know

1266
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: that we'll ever see that again. I don't know that

1267
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: we'll ever see anything close to it. You'll be telling

1268
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: the grandkids about the year Florida State won the conference. Then,

1269
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: according to some you know, they got shafted out of

1270
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: a playoff spot, and then they responded with proceeding to

1271
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: mail in the worst follow up campaign ever. Maybe we'll

1272
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: never see it again, but it would be chaotic. I

1273
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: think we can all agree if someone even goes sixty

1274
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: percent a sideways as Florida State did. What about the

1275
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Big Ten? What if their second tier really beefs up?

1276
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: It's been a running theme on the show that the

1277
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Big Ten's top tier is great. Last year Oregon to

1278
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State were really good. The Big Tens won the

1279
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: national title the last two years in a row, So

1280
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: there's no questioning the top tier of the Big Ten.

1281
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: The second tier, it seems like, for a while, has

1282
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: been Penn State and nobody. And I'm just asking, when

1283
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: does IOWAA join that party? When does Minnesota join that party?

1284
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: When does Nebraska, Indiana I'm talking about consistently, When does

1285
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: wisnas Wisconsin join that party? If that were to happen

1286
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: this year, think about what that could mean. It could

1287
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: mean that there's a lot more competitive balance, and basically,

1288
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: it could mean the Big Ten this year looks like

1289
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: the SEC last year, where Texas and Georgia are, you know,

1290
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 1: technically the top teams, but it feels like they're a

1291
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: step off. And I mean they're dealing especially Georgia last year,

1292
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: they're dealing with Haymakers, They're going on the road and

1293
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: losing an old miss. Well, what if the Big ten's

1294
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: like that? I'm hoping for it. I'd love for the

1295
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Big Ten to be deeper. I'd love for Nebraska to

1296
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: legitimately be able to step up and challenge the Oregons

1297
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: and Michigans of the world. I'd love to see Iowa

1298
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: be able to step up and challenge Penn State and

1299
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: Ohio State. That hasn't been the nature of the conference lately.

1300
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: Maybe that changes. That would provide a fair amount of

1301
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: chaos if it changed, and then you'd have to ask, Okay,

1302
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: does an Oregon incur three losses and have all of

1303
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: us still thinking they're one of the twelve best teams

1304
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: in the country, but they get left out because like

1305
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: Clemson taking Bama spot last year, what if that were

1306
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: to happen to Oregon this year. I didn't believe Bama

1307
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 1: belonging in the playoffs, but some people did, so you

1308
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: get the point. Also, speaking of the conferences that never

1309
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: get any run on this show, maybe just maybe the

1310
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 1: big ten in the SEC will not get their wish

1311
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: and the powers that be out there say no, we're

1312
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,599
Speaker 1: not changing the format in twenty twenty five. You guys,

1313
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: deal with it. You got all the power starting in

1314
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, twenty twenty five, we're gonna hang on

1315
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: to the same format we had in twenty twenty four, meaning,

1316
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: of course, the top four seeds could only go to

1317
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: conference champs. This is how for example, Boise State got

1318
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: a buy last year and Arizona State got a buy

1319
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:41,560
Speaker 1: last year at the expense of Penn State and Texas.

1320
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: So what if that happens again, And what if two

1321
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: teams like a Boise like an Arizona State get in again.

1322
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: And what if a team from the SEC or the

1323
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: Big Ten is very clearly victimized like Oregon was last

1324
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: year for example, just because of the four or Matten.

1325
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: Let's say it really aggravates the Big Ten in the SEC,

1326
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: Everyone's shaking and no one wants to anger the SEC

1327
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: and the Big Ten. Well, the reason I'm mentioning this

1328
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,799
Speaker 1: because it could be chaotic, not just because of the playoff.

1329
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: It could be chaotic because that's the last taste that

1330
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: would be in their mouths as they go into the

1331
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: room that they did have control over because they control

1332
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the playoff mechanism beyond twenty twenty five. So they're gonna

1333
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: restructure it, They're gonna expand that's gonna happen. They get

1334
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: to call the shots, they get to basically dictate the

1335
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 1: profile of it. What if the mood they walk into

1336
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,719
Speaker 1: that room with is like total anger and rage because

1337
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:36,759
Speaker 1: you guys didn't work with us on the twenty twenty

1338
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 1: five model. We think we got shafted again. So now

1339
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna take you to the boards when we can

1340
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. And oh, by the way, the

1341
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: model we agree to in twenty twenty six, you got

1342
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 1: to deal with for several years that could be chaotic

1343
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: as well. Chaos everywhere. What are we gonna do this week?

1344
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: I'm going on the road. I'm gonna be on the

01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: road until Thursday. We'll come back. We'll do a Thursday show.

1346
