Well? 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.440 I would I would hope that everybody knows the name 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.199 of the show. They already clicked on it. It's the 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.760 Solid Verbal, Tie the Solid Verbal. You can find us 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.200 at solid verbal dot com.

We are also on Facebook and 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:59.360 Twitter and Instagram and everywhere you can find fine social media. 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:00.200 Sir. How are you you? 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.560 I'm good. I feel like you're having a day. Yeah, 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:04.640 it's been a long day for. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.720 Me, Dan, okay, long day of meetings, a long day 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.040 of corporate America. So I'm a little bit I'm a 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.600 little bit of a brain drain state right now. 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.479 That's good I love that because I know you've had 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.920 this show. Not unlike fans looking at the fall schedule, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.680 the football slate, they got that that week circled. Oh 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:30.560 when we go to X State, x Tech, that's the game, right, 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.800 I feel like we've had this, or at least you 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.360 have have had this topic. We're doing a Q and 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.400 A show. We've got a ton of college football questions. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.440 Don't worry, it's still, at least in name, a college 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.639 football show. But we also have bathroom etiquette questions, which 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.240 I would venture to say, and I will stress this Ty. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:53.280 Bathroom etiquette not procedure. Right. We had some people write 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.840 in and say, like should I wipe standing up or 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.080 sitting down? It's like, you know what, that's a you thing, 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.560 follow your bliss. I can't tell you the right or 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.320 wrong answer, but etiquette wise, Ty and I have strong thoughts. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.240 But you, in particular, this is this is not just 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:11.400 a professional endeavor for you, right, this is a personal passion. 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.799 It's sort of like my life's work. You could say you. 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:19.440 Love space, you love bathroom etiquette, and the forever search 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:20.520 for a full night's sleep. 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.600 Correct. There are other oddball subjects in there. No, Yes, 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:30.400 the subject has been something I've observed in my professional 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:31.560 life in my personal life. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.200 Yeah. Absolutely, So we'll try to get into it without 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.800 getting a lot of question Intenny Laura details. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.760 Yeah, we should point out we decided bab we'll throw 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.000 it out there to people ask us some questions. We 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.240 received more questions on this subject for lack of a 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.720 better term, because this is a bathroom Meticutt show. It 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.640 binds us. Tie, don't forget you can write a review 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:57.560 for the show. I saw some folks out there saying, well, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.040 we like the show, but they talk a little bit 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.160 too much about themselves, too much personalized stuff. It is 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.560 may this is what we do. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.600 This is a show about ourselves, and we get sidetracked 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.680 into college football. We promised to get to more college football, 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.400 fair criticism, but we're going to start with college football 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.880 here this evening, and then we will see where the 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.359 conversation takes us. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.160 If that is fine with you, Dan. 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.400 I know where it's going, Ty, It's going down that 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.639 drain quite literally and figuratively. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.000 Congratulations, Skippy, you've got mail. 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.000 You've got mail. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.040 On the solid verbal Dan. As often as we can, 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.160 we like to play that age old sound. One of 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.520 the lone holdovers from our early days back in two 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:36.280 thousand and. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.200 Eight, a by gone era. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.640 We like to pay homage Dan to those folks who 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.800 write in via email, via Twitter, Facebook, what have you 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:52.200 messenger pigeon. In this particular case, we decide to ask 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:57.520 for football and some other college football or not college 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.840 football related questions. Why don't we start with the college 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.960 football If I think that's a good direct, that is 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.119 all the same to you, Let's go to John John Tucker, Dan, 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.800 John Tucker must die? He said, who is the next 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:11.800 Bill Snyder? 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.560 Okay, how do you take that interpretation? How do you 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.880 take that question? What does that mean to you? Who's 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.839 the next coach of Kansas State? Or who's the next 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.800 legendary coach to retire and come back? That's how I 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:23.200 took it. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.120 I was I was thinking more along the lines of 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.599 the ladder, maybe with a weird twist of an age 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.080 old starter jacket. I don't know if you're going to 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.719 find a whole lot of coaches who retire and come back, 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.680 that's that's almost impossible to predict. But I kind of 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.400 thought of it more broadly in the sense of which 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.640 coaches are currently in a role that I could see 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:47.520 them being in forever. 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.360 Well, okay, that's more of a Paterno. I'm going to say, 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.680 like in a role, they maybe move on to another level. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.920 Maybe they go up to the NFL and maybe they're fired. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.120 Maybe they just decide it's not for them, and they're 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.000 more of a like a say in situation, they're more 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.000 of a college type and returned to the place that 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.680 helped to build that reputation. So not unlike and this 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.719 would be an example, Bobby Patrino at Louisville, right, sort 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.040 of realized NFL wasn't for him, got into trouble at Arkansas, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.560 returned to the place that helped to build him. I'm 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.640 not going to say he was going to be thought 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.599 of as fondly as as Bill Snyders in Manhattan, but 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.400 I'm going to say that return to past glory sexy 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.080 Randy Edsel, Right, So let me let me ask you this. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:34.320 Then, Yeah, if Lane Kiffin were to somehow, in a 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.520 weird alternate universe be rehired by Tennessee or USC, would 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:39.320 that count. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.599 No, Because he left on acrimonious terms. So did Bobby 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.880 Patrino from Louisville. I think it was Okay, maybe it 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.040 was acrimonious in that, like you're losing this guy who's 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.240 been so good for your program, but he was advancing 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.000 to the NFL at that point. Okay, it was an 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.400 understandable It's not we hate Bobby Patrino because he left 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.680 us for the Falcons. Like if you were to leave 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.960 your job for like a higher class gentleman's club, your 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:10.400 current job couldn't say this doesn't make sense. Right, So 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.640 here's what I have, and it saw me if you 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:17.360 have the same thing. Legendary Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly returns 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.520 to his glory. Maybe he takes a shot with the 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.400 Vikings in three years and doesn't work out. He's a 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.839 legend and unfinished business like the Sugar Bowl that he 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:32.120 abandoned his team in Sexy Randy Etzel obviously as the 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.919 opportunity right now, I mean, taking Yukon to a festival 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.559 now appears to be more significant than it perhaps seemed 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:44.479 at the time. Robert Davey at Notre Dame and with 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:48.560 Wisconsin and Barry Alvarez, like thirty yards from the head 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.719 coach's office, it's always on the table ty. Yeah, what 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:58.040 about Tom Herman long term because Tom Herman. If Tom 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:03.160 Herman has any degree success in rebuilding Texas, right, he 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.840 is clearly going to get a call from the NFL okay, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.440 and if that doesn't work out, you have to believe 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.000 that if Texas needs a guy, they'd go back to 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.560 the Herman well, because he started his career there. Clearly 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:20.120 at that point he wove some credibility within Longhorn Nation. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.920 I could see perspectively him being an interesting name for this. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.960 So that's two steps you're looking at two steps. So 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.440 he has not you know, he's only built his legend 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.760 basically at Houston. He was only there a couple of years. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.680 So I don't feel like so Bill Snyder's first go 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.680 round at Kansas State was sixteen or seventeen years nineteen 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.960 eighty nine to two thousand and five. Came back in 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.560 two thousand and nine when it was clear that the 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.200 Wildcats needed his help. So I would imagine Tom Herman 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:48.920 would have to be at Texas for a while to 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.600 compare it to a Bill Snyder situation. What about Chip 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.400 Kelly going back to Oregon. So that seemed like it 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.720 was on the table, and that would have fitted slightly 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.600 different circumstances. Than Bill Snyder and Kansas State. But yes, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.560 realizing that perhaps his speed was more Eugene, Oregon than 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.640 Philadelphia or San Francisco in the NFL would have been 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.800 a cousin to the Bill Snyder situation. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.160 Good question here from John Deaker. Next John, No, Josh, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.840 excuse me, Josh, how about some Big ten West talk? 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.920 Hell yeah, how about some Big ten West talk? We 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:26.480 do have a soundtrack for this, Dan. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.720 Yeah, I want to spice this Big ten West talker. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.520 Fuck you? 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.680 What are Northwesterns chances to win the division? How about 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.880 Purdue's timetable for success? With Jeff Brahm at the helm, 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.160 is his offense going to change the league? Like Joe 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.319 Tiller in the ninetiesel Youl? 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.400 So here's how I see the Big ten West at 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.960 the moment. Wisconsin is probably still in the best overall 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.680 shape even though they're on there. What it's third defensive 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.480 coordinat in three years? Yes, and agreed, lost some big 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.160 names on defense. TJ. Watts was a first round pick. 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:07.360 I think he went to the Steelers. 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.120 Also, did you know JJ Watts brother? 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.120 I did? I did just find that out this morning. Yeah, 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.640 what a crazy world in which we live. Experience back 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.520 at running back. They got a couple of pieces to 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.079 fill in on the offensive line. Your boy Alex Hornybrook 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.480 is full time now quarterback. So I think Wisconsin's still 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.160 in the best position. It appears. They miss Ohio State 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:31.439 and they get Michigan and Iowa at home. It's it's 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.200 a good time to have a nice schedule in the 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:38.200 Big Ten. West Iowa new quarterback Brian Farrens is now 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.240 the offensive coordinator, so you know that Farence family. They're 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:47.840 gonna open things up on offense. Nebraska will be starting 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.880 a kind of below average Tulane QB. So get excited 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.760 about that. Bob Diaco so great head of hair, great 0:09:55.800 --> 0:10:00.319 hit that three four. Nebraska replaces pretty much everybody than 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.520 the very fast and sometimes injured de Mornay. Piersonell and 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:08.679 also a really really good name on Nebraska's defense. His 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.760 first name is Freedom. I'm not going to even attempt 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.840 to pronounce his last name, but he's an edge rusher 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.320 for Nebraska and his name is Freedom. I have PJ Flack, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.760 you have Purdue with Jeff Broms, so two new head 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.000 coaches there, so Minnesota has a lot of work to do. 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.880 Rob Smith. You may remember Rob Smith from his time 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:30.520 giving up every single yard at Arkansas last year and 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.959 Northwestern it's a really good time and all seriousness, ty, 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.040 it is a really good time to have a steady program. 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.480 Well, here's the thing. You mentioned that, and you're right, 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.000 I think Northwestern. The question here is what are their 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:47.000 chances to win the division? They probably have as good 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.800 a chance as anyone outside of Wisconsin because they bring 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.200 back Clayton Thorson, who we both like. Justin Jackson had 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.160 a huge Bowl game. The question will be what do 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.880 they put around those two guys from a playmaker stamp 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.520 can they block for them? But they do bring back 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.640 a very talented defense that should help them in the 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.360 Big Ten West. Do you look at the schedule, I 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.360 mean there are some land mines on there, but no 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.240 Michigan Ohio State though no Michigan or or Ohio State, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.760 so they're set up pretty well if they want to 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.440 make a run, if they can get it together early enough. 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.800 The meat of their schedule is Wisconsin on the road, 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.120 followed by Penn State, and that's relatively early in the season, 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.679 so we'll get a better idea of where the Wildcats 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.439 stand as far as that goes. But I like Northwestern 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:35.320 per do. I like moving forward, but they've got holes 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.840 all across the field. While I do think Jeff Brom 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.400 will build them up, it's going to take time. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.640 So on our Coach Higher podcast Weird show that we 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.360 did a couple weeks ago, one of the things that 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.920 I think Stephen Godfrey mentioned was the most important hire 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.400 is the coordinator on the side of the ball in 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.000 which the coach is not used to or not his 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.240 background specifically. Sure, so Jeff Brom brings over one of 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.040 my all time favorite defensive coordinators and Nick Holts from 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.080 Western Kentucky. You may remember, I think Pete Carroll had 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.240 hired him at USC, spends some time at Idaho as 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.520 their head coach has been around and Nick Holts at 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.440 Western Western Kentucky. The S and P plus defense went 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.720 from one to eighteen to sixty to forty two the 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.240 past three years, and that includes a jump in one 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.079 year from the first to second year of one seventeen 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.640 to twenty five against the pass pass efficiency defense against 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.680 the conference teams, So there is a track record of 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.360 defensive improvement from year one to year two. Year one 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.160 is just establishing culture scheme, playbook, getting to know what 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:38.760 you need to fill in. Purdue is not going to 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.000 do all that much beyond. I think have some fun 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.520 nuggets this year, but I would not expect a ton 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:48.520 in twenty seventeen Northwestern. When I look at the Big 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.120 Ten West, I don't know if you want to play 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:50.800 the medal again. 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.000 Uh, there we go, Okay, go ahead. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:59.240 Northwestern may have the best and most proven backfield. Is 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.560 that weird to say in the division? I'm a little 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.800 uncomfortable with that. So Clayton Thorson last year finished third 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.960 in the Big Ten inefficiency as a quarterback, ahead of J. T. Barrett, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.840 ahead of C. J. Bethard, ahead of Alex Harnybrook, Tommy Armstrong, 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.280 Mitch Lyner, all these people hit a good year. Justin 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.680 Jackson's been there for seventeen years. He's going to rush 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.160 for a million yards if he stays healthy. And here's 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.040 the big thing with Northwestern that we have not even 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:26.800 mentioned yet. They're coming off of an enormous Pinstripe Bowl victory. 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.800 Time cannot overstate the importance of that Pinstripe bowlwin. So 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.079 I think the Big Ten West will go as follows. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.720 Top three Wisconsin, Northwestern Iowa. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.520 Moving on, let's go to Ryan. He says, would you 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:46.560 rather Danny Ettling or June arriving Malik Zayer to run 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.760 Matt Canada's offense at LSU in twenty seventeen? 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.000 I think, Zayir, I think the ceiling is higher. I 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:56.000 think we have a concept for Danny Etling's ceiling. That said, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:01.559 I think Matt Canada is very good at fine wrinkles 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.480 and the best position for his quarterbacks in offense. You 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.560 saw that last year with the blending of some spread 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.120 concepts and power with James Connor a pitt. I feel 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.000 as if, I don't know why I need to preface 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.720 it with I feel it seems as if LSU with 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.440 an experienced offensive line, intriguing skill talent, a legitimately great 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.360 running back, if not one of the best in the 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:26.040 country already, it seems as if Malik Zayre gives them 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.320 an element if he can stay healthy and if Matt 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.560 Canada can put him in position to complete completable throws 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.160 for him, that the offense will have a higher ceiling 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.280 with Zayre, So I would go. I would go in 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.160 that direction if he is as advertised, Yeah, I mean. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:45.080 LSU has had mobile quarterbacks who could scramble but couldn't 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:50.280 necessarily throw. Zaire can throw. Zaire can throw. Last year 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:54.440 might not have been the absolute most representative sample of 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.400 what he has to offer on the football field, but 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.200 dude can throw and he can certainly run, so absolutely 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.440 higher ceiling for league's are. Like you said, you already 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.440 have a baseline for Danny Eetling. You know what you're 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:10.520 getting there with Matt Canada, I think MALIGU'SAIA would be 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:11.240 a much better option. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.720 Yeah, I think it. What'll come down to, especially when 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.320 Zaya gets to campus, is who picks up the verbiage. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.680 Who is just more comfortable running the sort of skeleton 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:21.440 of that offense? 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:22.400 All right? 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:27.920 Uh, Santos be free, Santos. If Oregon played Notre Dame 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.320 in a future championship game, which of you would take 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.200 the loss better? And would you be friends afterwards? Yeah? 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.480 This is an interesting question. 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.840 Yeah, so you've you have recently fallen asleep while watching 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.440 a Notre Dame national championship game. 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:50.880 I have. I would be outwardly more upset you, really, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:56.840 I would. You would probably be a little more tranquil 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.680 on the surface, but more passive aggressive later. That's my 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:00.760 on the situation. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.960 Yeah, I would shut down having to watch what three 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.040 national championship losses in say, a ten year span. If 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.440 this happened in the next couple of years, that'd be rough. Tie, 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.120 that'd be rough. It takes me a little bit. You 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.480 were sort of resigned and made peace with it pretty quickly. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.080 The thing about it is that people don't realize neither 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.040 one of us is really a trash talker. 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.240 That's true. I'm much more passive aggressive with the music 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:31.200 and the elderly audience for Notre Dame football. Okay, but we. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.080 Don't necessarily have a trash talking not to each other, 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.920 not to each other. We put on a good show here. 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:42.440 But so from that standpoint, there wouldn't necessarily be a 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.280 very obvious reason to be mad at that person. It 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.520 would be more directed at our teams or their opponents. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.880 But right, so, yeah, I think friends afterwards as be 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:58.320 would be in order. Yeah, absolutely earliest friendly acquaintances. I 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.120 don't know about this sub question here. 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.240 Oh you don't like that sub question, No, you can 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.120 ask it, But I'm just wants to know has type 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.000 been antagonistic towards Oregon lately, Am I just being sensitive? 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.800 You're probably just being sensitive, which is okay, that's part 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:11.440 of being a fan. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.280 But in fairness, Dan, h I have taken a lot 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.600 of crap. After the Fantasy Thing show and after the 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:24.280 Secret Garbage Bracket, people really have really come at me. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.200 And I'm a big boy. I can take the criticism right, 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.520 but there seems to be an assertion out there that 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:33.800 I am just a giant beta male unable to hold 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:34.679 my ground against you. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.560 Oh, ty well. I think it also hurts that everybody 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.679 loved the Notre Dame fourn eate thing an Oregon one 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:42.600 fourn eight, and everybody just sort of glossed over that 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.840 and turned their collective attention to Notre Dame's record. 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.720 What people don't realize is that you're so insistent that 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.080 eventually I have to give otherwise our show is going 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.360 to be four hours. That's true, Okay, relentless, You're relentless, 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.240 But I have maybe been a little bit more antagonistic towards. 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.640 Organ That's okay. We'll see what happens during the season. 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:06.040 Kenneth right, he writes, in which Arizona School will have 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:07.080 a better season. 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.920 Dan shout out to the territorial cop tie. 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:14.439 That's right. Arizona and Arizona State are the two most 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.040 obvious choices here. Do you have a strong lean? 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.800 Probably Arizona, but I'm worried about that defense. 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:24.280 I don't. 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.240 Arizona State's overhauling everything. They've got two new coordinators. The 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:33.119 Blake Barnett edition is interesting, but they are philosophically just 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.280 overhauling everything. And Arizona State, since they went what three 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.600 years ago now to the Pac twelve Championship game, they've 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.000 been kind of secret garbage. They have not been good 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.399 as well as Todd Graham has coached this team early on, 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.159 Whereas with Arizona, I think there is something with the 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.560 Wildcats that I feel better about than I do about 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.400 anything with Arizona State, and that's some sort of combination 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.840 of Brandon Dawkins Khalil Tate. Now they have a twenty 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.760 six year old quarterback, Donovan Tate, I believe his name 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.400 is Okay, was a minor league baseball player drafted now 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.560 is coming back to college and they've got a really 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.600 fun running back duo that has been beat up constantly. 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.719 But if they're healthy, they can cover up for some 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:19.480 offensive deficiencies JJ Taylor and Nick Wilson. So there's sneaky 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:23.919 danger for Arizona and secret garbage for Arizona State. So 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.320 I'm going to go with Arizona, not confidently, but Arizona 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:28.680 at the moment things aren't great. 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:34.239 I tend to agree. Yeah, moving next question, Lee right, 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:38.440 So with a very interesting question, yes, and we actually 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.080 got a bunch of questions as it relates to college 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:46.800 football quarterbacks. Lee says, is this year really the quote 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.520 unquote year of the quarterback in college football? And can 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:56.280 we expect a slight shift towards the pro norm pro 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:02.960 style NFL quarterback in Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, etc. Etc. 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.359 I got a couple questions about Sam Darnald, Kyle writes 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.240 in is there too much hype for him? He was 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.560 second best quarterback on his team a year ago, now 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.439 he's second on a Heisman list. We also got a 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.280 question from Blaine who wants to know a few under 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.640 the radar quarterbacks other than the obvious ones, who could 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.520 have a really strong impact in twenty seventeen. So a 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.760 bunch of quarterback related questions. My comment on the Year 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.960 of the quarterback, the Year of the pro style quarterback. 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.399 I don't know if there's going to be any great 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.800 movement of foot in college football towards any pro style systems. 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.879 My hunches. No. I just think we're kind of entering 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:44.760 a chapter where the better quarterbacks in college football happen 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:46.760 to be pro style. Does that seem fair to you 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:47.160 to say? 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.000 I think that's right. And the term pro style is 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.320 such a loose catch all for things that aren't super 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:57.000 defined in college Because USC will run the zone read 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:00.520 with Sam Darnold, they run RPO stuff with Sam Darnold, 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.960 same for Josh Rosen and UCLA. Trace McSorley runs a 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:08.160 ton of RPO and spread concepts at Penn State, even 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.399 though he is super productive in getting Heisman Trophy attention 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.800 at this point. So it's hard to sort of write 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.760 unless you're looking at maybe Stanford, and even they run shotguns, 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:21.520 spread option running stuff with certain quarterbacks. Recently, Kevin Hogan 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:23.440 ran a bunch of that, Andrew Luck ran some of that. 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:27.320 Even So style isn't pro style anymore, right exactly, And 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.320 as we see more and more quarterbacks and offenses in 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:34.160 the NFL sort of introduce all sorts of different concepts 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.359 to their repertoires. I think it's hard to define anything 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.000 as pro style and spread. That said, under the radar 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.960
