1 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: And just like that, we're back in the tradition of 2 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: the Late Kick Extra podcast. It is Tuesday morning. It's 3 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: December seventh. Yere our Lord, twenty twenty one. 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 2: We are loaded, wall to wall, jam packed and all 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: the in between. It is a college football and mailbag. 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: That's what we do every Tuesday. That's what we do 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 2: every Thursday. 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: You can submit your questions on Twitter at late kick 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Josh or on Instagram. 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: At late Kick Josh. 11 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: And I know that I've been a little dishonest, at 12 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: the very least dishonest over the last few weeks, claiming 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to record the night before, but then waiting 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: and sandbagging really to put a finer point on it, 15 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: and recording the day of. Well, I can assure you 16 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: right now, it is Monday night. It is seven forty 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: one pm in Nashville, Tennessee. So we're getting this in. 18 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: You can tell with how clear the voice is. I 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: haven't woken up the next morning. I don't sound all groggy. 20 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: I don't have the old hedgehog in the throat. And 21 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: I tweeted out in real time about seventeen minutes ago, 22 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: I'm recording the podcast in ten minutes dropped me some 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: fire questions, and you guys have dropped like one hundred 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: of them already, so we have got a plenty. We've 25 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: got more than enough to chew on. Also, I just 26 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: got done about twenty minutes ago recording something that will 27 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: come out Wednesday, not on this platform. I did the 28 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: rare hour long guest appearance on someone else's show. I'm 29 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: gonna let that someone choose when they want to make 30 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: that announcement. Maybe a quasi rivalry, but like maybe a 31 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: friendly layer to the rivalry that I've had with a 32 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: certain someone out there in the college football ecosystem. 33 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: So look forward to that. 34 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: I'll let you know. I'll give you plenty of heads up. 35 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: I think you'll enjoy it. Real talk, I do think 36 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: you'll enjoy. But let's dive into our mail bag this morning. 37 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: I remember at Late Kick, Josh, this is how you 38 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: can submit these. A lot of you guys asked about 39 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: the heisman, and I'm really hot about this. I promised 40 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: myself I would never get worked up about the heisman, 41 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: but last year I got sucked in because I felt 42 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: so strongly about Davonte Smith, and we started running Davante 43 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: Smith's campaign and we were so proud. It was like 44 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: Davante Smith did eighty percent of the work. We did 45 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: twenty percent of work, and he won the Heisman. And 46 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: I cared about it last year and now normally don't 47 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: care about the Heisman, not because I lack respect for 48 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: the award, but because I do lack respect for a 49 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: lot of people who vote on the award, not as 50 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: people but as voters. I do not respect their college 51 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: football documen. I do not think these are people who 52 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: necessarily love this sport, some of them, not all. And 53 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: I don't think some of these people even watch the 54 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: sport all that closely. And I was reminded why I 55 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: feel that way about an hour ago. Again, I'm recording 56 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: on Monday night. An hour ago, the Heisman finalist came out. 57 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: Will Anderson of Alabama, the best college football player in 58 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: the country this year, in my estimation, is not on 59 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: the list. And it's not one of those deals where 60 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: he's a good player that projects as a high draft pick, 61 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: but he doesn't have the production. Will Anderson's going to 62 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: be a top five overall draft pick next year or 63 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: two years from now, I guess when he comes out. 64 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: But he's also got the stat sheet this year. To 65 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: be clear, the four finalists are Michigan's Aiden Hutchinson, You've 66 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: got Ohio State's CJ. 67 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: Stroud, of course, Bryce. 68 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: Young of Alabama's going to win it, and you got 69 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett from Pitt. I've got no problem with Bryce Young, obviously, 70 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: I've got no problem with Aiden Hutchinson. I think I 71 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: would prefer Kenneth Walker over CJ. 72 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: Stroud. 73 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't think Kenny Pickett should be there, but I 74 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with him being there. Here's my problem. 75 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: Will Anderson just put up a better year. He's got 76 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: better numbers than Chase Young did, Aaron Donald and Don Bekinsu. 77 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: You're talking about some of the greatest defenders in the 78 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: modern era of college football. Will Anderson, I think is 79 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: the best overall defensive player Nick Saban's had since he's 80 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: been at Alabama. I want to pause, and I want 81 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: to let you maritate on what I just said. Nick 82 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: Saban at Alabama best defensive player I think he's had. 83 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: Listen to these numbers, and what I want to do 84 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: to give you an idea of how insane this is 85 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: that Will Anderson is not going to be in New 86 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: York City for the Heisman Trophy ceremony Aiden Hudginson, and 87 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from him. Don't misunderstand me. 88 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson is a finalist and deserves to be. I 89 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: want you to listen to this and understand just how 90 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: big a pile of flaming hot garbage it is is 91 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: that Will Anderson is not going to New York. Will 92 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: Anderson ninety one tackles this year. Aiden Hudginson fifty eight. 93 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: Will Anderson thirty one and a half tackles for loss. 94 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson fifteen and a half. Will Anderson fifteen and 95 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: a half sacks. Hutchinson fourteen sacks better at every turn numerically, 96 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: he is just a flat out better player. He is 97 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: a transcendently good defensive player. He is an outside linebacker, 98 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: he is an edge rusher. I want to say, for 99 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: a third time, I am not telling you that to 100 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: demean Aiden Hutchinson. That guy's a phenomenal player. He deserves 101 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: to be there. So does Will Anderson. You've got a 102 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: bunch of folks. I don't want to go too far 103 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: down this rabbit hole because we got a lot of 104 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: questions to get to. This encapsulates why I want to 105 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: be on the field on Saturdays. I don't sit in 106 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: the press box. I want to be on the field 107 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: for two reasons. Number one, because I think the experience 108 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: is much better down there. But number two, I don't 109 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: want to be around a lot of these folks. There's 110 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: some folks who are awesome who cover our sport. I 111 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: got friends on a lot of these major beats. I've 112 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: got friends at the national level. So it's not a 113 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: broad brush I'm trying to paint with. But there are 114 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: some losers who cover college football. It's mainly the same 115 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: crowd that tried to get the sport canceled last year. 116 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: They are losers. They do not love the sport. They 117 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: do not watch it. 118 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: You assume everyone who has a vote on this really 119 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: watches college football and loves college football, and you would 120 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: be wrong in assuming that they. Some of them couldn't 121 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: talk themselves out of a wet paper bag when it 122 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: comes to an actual football conversation. And number two, they 123 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: couldn't even tell you a whole lot about the sport. 124 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: They probably watched the team they cover or the team 125 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: they cover, and the team they root for, and they 126 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: don't really watch the sport. They don't you assume they do. 127 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: Please don't make that mistake. 128 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: They don't. A lot of you. 129 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: Watch way more college football than some of the people 130 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: who have votes on these awards. So it gets me 131 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: worked up because I mean, I love the sport and 132 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: I would love to love this award. I love the award, 133 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: I do not love the process, and I want to 134 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: reemphasize this for clarity. There are some incredible folks who 135 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: on these things. There's some credible folks who are just 136 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: as passionate as I am and as you are about 137 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: this sport. But they, I think are the minority in 138 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: this process. The majority of these people are either lukewarm 139 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: on it or they don't even really have their heart 140 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: in it. They just happened to be a sports writer 141 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: who really wanted to get into another line of work. 142 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: They maybe wanted to be on the political bead, or 143 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: they wanted to be a fiction writer, but it's just 144 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: sports journalism was the path they. 145 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: Ended up going down. 146 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: And it's kind of like Toby on the Office when 147 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: they ask him do you have a passion for HR? 148 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: And he talks about how he ended up in HR. 149 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 1: A lot of these people are the Toby's of our industry. 150 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of Toby's that are in those 151 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: press boxes. They walk in with a frown, they shuffle 152 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: their feet over to their seat. Their main highlight of 153 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: the day is what the press box meal is going 154 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: to be, and then they type out a five or 155 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: six hundred more gamer and then they go home. 156 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: They don't really care. 157 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: Their heart's not in it, and as a result, they 158 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: shouldn't be involved in this process, but they are. I 159 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: told you, if I was college football commissioner and I 160 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: had the power, you would have to pass a college 161 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: football literacy test administered by me every single year if 162 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: you're going to be able to vote on an award. 163 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, to get all of your Heisman questions out 164 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: of the way. I am disgusted by this and it 165 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't stand, but it will stand, and I've got to 166 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: deal with it. Will Anderson, best of luck to you. 167 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: Hopefully you can go win a national championship, since that's 168 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: about the only. 169 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: Trophy they're going to let you hold. 170 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: Next up, TJ in the Dark says, why do you 171 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: believe August should be the early signing period specifically? 172 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: Well, because of the mess we have on our hands 173 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: right now. 174 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: The NFL is a product that I don't prefer over 175 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: college football, but I do like the way they structure 176 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: their year over the way we do it in college football, 177 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: because there's one centralized body therefore, and they all work 178 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: in conjunction to make the schedule nice and neat. In 179 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: college football, we got everything that gets crammed into like 180 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: one three week period. We got the early signing Day 181 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: coming up. Therefore, we've got a lot of recruiting. 182 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: That's going on. 183 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: We also just had conference championship games going on, and 184 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: we're about to go into the playoff and bowl season. 185 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: And also we've got coaching firings and hiring's going on. 186 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: It's all happening at once, but most of that is 187 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: predicated off of the early signing Day. Think about this, 188 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: The early signing day is the fifteenth. I think i'd 189 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: better find out because I have to go to Fort 190 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: Lauderdale for a show. So it's next Wednesday, whatever the 191 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: date's going to be, it's next Wednesday. And because we 192 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: know we have that semi finish line off in the distance, 193 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: we have to get a new coach in here. If 194 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: the early signing day didn't exist, there would be no 195 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: rush to get coaches in here like there is now. 196 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: You'd still want to get your coach hired, but you 197 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't have notre Dame before they even find out if 198 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: they're going to be in the playoff or not having 199 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly leave. 200 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: You would not have that. 201 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: You would not have players having to find out their 202 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: coach is going to leave through leaked media reports. Because 203 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: it's not handled better. You would be able to get 204 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: into January. In some cases, you would have coaches that 205 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: are able to stay through their bowl games before they 206 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: leave if they want to. Right now, it's totally impractical 207 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: because you can't miss out on the early signing day. 208 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: And what I'm saying is, I don't even think you 209 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: have to take away the early signing day. I just 210 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: think you either need to scrap it or move it. 211 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: If you want to keep it, move it to August. 212 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: You don't lose anything. Like we're choosing to exist in 213 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: this madness right now. 214 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be this way. 215 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: You don't have to have all this chaos all around 216 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: the place. I had someone the other day come to 217 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: me and say, ooh, you're being dishonest, because this is 218 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: really good for your numbers, dude, I can get numbers 219 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: either way, like we can find something to talk about 220 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: either way. 221 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it has been good for my numbers. It should 222 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: show you how. 223 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: Honest I'm actually being. Same way with the playoff. Expanded 224 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: playoff would be great for my show too. I'm telling 225 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: you I don't want it. Early signing day that causes 226 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: all this disruption and chaos is good for the show. 227 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: If you define good as just high traffic, which most 228 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: people do, I'm telling you I want to change it anyway, 229 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: So I don't really care first and foremost about the 230 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: health of the show. A lot of people watching my 231 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: show does not automatically equal what's good for college football. 232 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: I think we'd be just fine as a show, and 233 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: the sport would be a lot better off if we 234 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,599 Speaker 1: move the early signing date to August. A lot of 235 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: kids already know where they want to go before their 236 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: senior year of high school. Good let them decide then 237 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: with obvious language that if your coach leaves, you know, 238 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, and you're already locked into your NLI, 239 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: you should be. 240 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: Able to get out of that. 241 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: Yes, goes without saying I would agree with that, but 242 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: I mean That's the simple reason. Peyton up next, asking 243 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: a question that we're probably going to talk a lot 244 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: about Tuesday night on Late Kick Live. What is recruiting 245 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: in Florida about to look like moving forward? Predictions on 246 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: who will thrive and who will die. So we've got 247 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: Mike Norvel at Florida State, We've got Mario Christopaul now 248 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: walking in the door at Miami, and we got Billy 249 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: Napier walking in the door at Florida. You guys who 250 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: listen to the show, or watch the show, or do both, 251 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: know that. For a long time, I've laughed at people 252 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: who say an expanded playoff is what we need to 253 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: get parody back in college football. That's not the case. 254 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: It never has been the case, it never will be 255 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: the case. If you've got two or three giants in 256 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: the sport, they will dominate your playoff. Whether it's four 257 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: teams or forty teams, they'll dominate either way. The way 258 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: you get your parody is you fundamentally change the recruiting 259 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: dynamic in the state of Florida. And it would also 260 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 1: help if Southern cal did the same thing, and it 261 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: would help if Texas did the same thing. But I'm 262 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: specifically looking at Florida because that is specifically where Alabama 263 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: and Ohio State and Clemson have gone into the state 264 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: and rated talent for several years now. Bama's dominated, They 265 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: are littered with Florida talent. Ditto for Ohio State, diddo 266 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: for Clemson. If you want to balance the sport out, 267 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: you need to get dominant recruiting in place at Miami 268 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: and Florida and Florida State, or at least two of 269 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: the three, because at that point, even if you just 270 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: keep a bigger percentage of the prospects home by home, 271 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: I just mean in the state of Florida somewhere every year, 272 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: that's two or three less elite four and five star 273 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: kids that each of those major programs I mentioned Bama, 274 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: Ohio State, Texas A, and m Clemson. That's two or 275 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: three less prospects per cycle each of those programs gets. 276 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: If you want, I want to know how important one 277 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: player is, imagine Alabama without Bryce Young the other night, 278 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: and Bryce Young's a California kid. So this also can 279 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: apply to USC because we're looking at Alabama with a 280 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: California kid starting at quarterback. Clemson's had a California kid 281 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: starting at quarterback. They're throwing the receivers from the state 282 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: of Florida. I mean, you hand off the ball to 283 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: running backs from the state of Florida. They're being protected 284 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: by offensive linemen from the state of Florida. It would 285 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: so fundamentally change the makeup of the game right now 286 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: and the parody of the game right now if you 287 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: did nothing more than you balanced out recruiting in the 288 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: state of Florida. And like I said, Texas needs to 289 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: get on board and USC needs to get on board. 290 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: But you asked about Florida. I think it will happen. 291 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: It's not whether it will improve, it's to what degree 292 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: will it improve. Now Christaball is an assassin in recruiting. 293 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean that guy would do it twenty five hours 294 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: a day if he could. I've got questions, not in. 295 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: A bad way. 296 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: I've just literally got questions about what Napier's coaching staff 297 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: is going to look like and what his recruiting staff 298 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: is to look like. I certainly think it will be 299 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: an upgrade over what Dan Mullen was, But you could 300 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: upgrade from what Mullen was and still not be good 301 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: enough at Florida. That's how poor I think the recruiting 302 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: apparatus was under Dan Mullen. I don't have many questions 303 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: about Miami. They're gonna be there. I think I like 304 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing from Florida State. I have a question 305 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: about Florida, but not in a bad way, just open 306 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: ended question. Don't lean one way or the other right now. 307 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: Next up is cole a better job for Dave Randa 308 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: building a Big twelve dynasty at Baylor or hopping to 309 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: Oregon to keep them a contender in the Pac twelve. 310 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: I think Dave Randa believes that Baylor is the better 311 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: job now. I am very gun shy about talking about 312 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: who's going to where and coaching carousel right now because 313 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: I got burned big time not thinking christa ball would move. 314 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 2: I'll talk about that more tonight too. 315 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: It's a shame tour of epic proportions for me this 316 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: week with the Georgia prediction and the Mario Cristobaul prediction. 317 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: But Dave Randa feels to me like he may be 318 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: cut from a different cloth. There's scratch that there's no 319 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: maybe he is cut for a different cloth. He may 320 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: be a guy who looks around and says I value 321 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: things differently than most other coaches would, because I think 322 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: Oregon is clearly a better job than Baylor. But you 323 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: didn't ask that. You said, what's a better job for 324 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: Dave Randa? And what matters for Dave Randa? He may 325 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: already have in place at Baylor, so I would be 326 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: surprised if he moved on. Not shocked, because I promise 327 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: you nothing's gonna shock me anymore, but I would be surprised. 328 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna tentatively say that Baylor's the 329 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: better job. Next up is a question that I gotta 330 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: be careful with or it may get me hot. Now, 331 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: Wes seems like a good guy, and I think he 332 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: has asked this in good faith, So I'm not gonna 333 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: hate on Wes. But Wes is asking a question that 334 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't like, and so let me clearly separate the 335 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: asker from the question. 336 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: Wes, love you brother. Here is Wes's question. 337 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: Do you really feel like it would be a negative 338 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: for fans if we had automatic qualifiers and each of 339 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: the conference championship games this past weekend had some legitimate 340 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: playoff implications. 341 00:14:59,280 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: I agree that. 342 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: We we would lose something in September and October. But 343 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't we gain even more in November. 344 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: No, Wes, you wouldn't. 345 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: That first part of what you said cannot be glossed over. 346 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: You said, I agree we would lose something in September 347 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: and October. You just told me that you are willing to, 348 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: and you were acknowledging that we would shave away from 349 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: the greatest regular season in all of sports. 350 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: That's where I stopped. 351 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: That's where the period is inserted into the sentence for me, 352 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: because that alone is something I'm not signing on for. 353 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: I'm not signing on. 354 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: For eroding the integrity of the regular season. Here's the 355 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: way I framed it earlier, because I was having a 356 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: knife fight through Zoom back and forth with the person 357 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: whose show I will be on Wednesday, and we were 358 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: talking about this. He's an expansionist, I am not, and 359 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: we were talking now. He did agree that automatic qualifiers 360 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: was a bad idea, But the same principle applies here. 361 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: I think college football fans love some of them. Let 362 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: me say some of them, the expansionist crowd. Some of 363 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: you guys seem to love two cons and I only 364 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: love one of them. I love the concept of limited 365 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: edition think about that. Anytime you have a limited edition anything, 366 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: the reason it has extra value is in the title 367 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: it's limited. There isn't a lot of that thing, and 368 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: therefore it has added value because of the scarcity. Everybody 369 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: loves the concept of limited edition in college football. Everyone 370 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: loves how great the regular season is the problem with 371 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: the expansionist crowd is you, guys also have this other 372 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: idea you love, and that is the quantity that you 373 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: get through mass production. So you want the limited edition. 374 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: You just want to make a whole lot of the 375 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: limited edition thing. Well, the thing about making a whole 376 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: lot of something is it's no longer limited. 377 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: Therefore it loses its value. 378 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: And we're talking here, to be clear, what Wes is 379 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: talking about is putting an automatic qualifier label on every 380 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: conference title game. Translation, wake Forest and Pitt, the fifteenth 381 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: and sixteenth ranked teams in the country played in the 382 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: ACC title game. Wes is proposing that the winner of 383 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: that game get a playoff spot. Why because it would 384 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: make the game mean more. And he's not wrong. He's 385 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: not wrong necessarily about the value it would add to 386 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: that game. Where he is also dead on the money 387 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: is how much it would erode. The weeks of games 388 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: leading up to that automatic qualifiers period are one of 389 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: the most flawed concepts in college sports, not pro sports. 390 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: And I will not even acknowledge people who want to 391 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: argue the merit of the NFL having automatic qualifiers. Every 392 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: division winner is in the playoff, no matter what the 393 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: record is. I'm not even acknowledging that there is such 394 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: a difference in the parody that exists in pro sports 395 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 1: versus college sports. 396 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: There is so big a gap. 397 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: In terms of strength some years conference to conference. It's 398 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: you think there's a gap in pro sports, that gap 399 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: is inches compared to miles in college sports. 400 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: So I don't listen to that. 401 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: We are headed towards a twelve team playoff, to be clear, 402 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 1: that's where we're headed. Whether I like it or not, 403 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: I get it. Well, I get the premise. I don't 404 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 1: like it, but I get it. We are quite literally 405 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: arguing here that we think teams that aren't even good 406 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: enough to be ranked number twelve in the country still 407 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: need a shot at a tournament to crown the best 408 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 1: team in the country to crown a champion, which is 409 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: insane to me. That's the kind of thinking you get 410 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: when you get convinced that a sport is defined by 411 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: its playoff and the only way you can define a 412 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: great season is by having a big tournament at the 413 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: end of the season. That is not college football. I 414 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: remember Notre Dame in Florida State in Week one. 415 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: I remember being in. 416 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: Waco for Baylor over Oklahoma. I remember being in the 417 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: Big House for Michigan over Ohio State. I remember being 418 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: in Nieland when Ole Miss held off Tennessee. All of 419 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: these things happened this year. They were all incredible in 420 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: their own unique way. Hardly any of the teams I 421 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: just listed are in the playoff. It doesn't take away 422 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: from how insane the regular season was. But I also 423 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: want you to remember something loud and clear. I want 424 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: you to remember why that in Waco was so big. 425 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: It was because Baylor took down Oklahoma and essentially knocked 426 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: them out of the playoff. That's why you had to watch, 427 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: That's why you had to be tuned in to Michigan 428 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: Ohio State because the loser was gonna be out of 429 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: the playoff. Imagine how dumb it would be to walk 430 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: away from that incredible upset that Michigan pulls and the 431 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: field is stormed, and all you're saying is, boy, Ohio 432 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: State lost their seeding. 433 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: Now they're gonna have to be a lower seed in 434 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: the playoff, Like how dumb would that be? 435 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: And also, this is obviously just my opinion, how dumb 436 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: is it to watch teams lose two or three games, 437 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: but because they're in a weak division, they end up 438 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: in a conference title game. 439 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 2: And you're sitting there thinking to yourself, after they've lost. 440 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: Their third game and they're not even ranked in the 441 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: top twenty, you're still saying, well, they do still have 442 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: a shot. Guess they'll just have to go win their 443 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: conference title. I don't have a problem with it in 444 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: basketball because basketball is a different sport than football, and 445 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: you guys have already sacrificed the regular season for the 446 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: sake of the NCAA tournament, for the mass come appeal 447 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: of the sport. So if you want to do it 448 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: that way in basketball, be my guest, just don't bring 449 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: it over to football. The number one and number two 450 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: basketball teams in the country played last week and hardly 451 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: anyone even knew about it because the regular season has 452 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: been deemed irrelevant because of all those great postseason parameters 453 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: as you define them that you've put in believe it alone. 454 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: Just don't bring it to my sport. It's fallen on 455 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: deaf ears because people are probably going to bring it 456 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: over here anyway. But it doesn't mean I have to 457 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: like it. Let's continue to scroll here. Colby asks a 458 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: question I can already tell by looking at a few 459 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: words here. This is going to be asked a lot 460 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: over the next three weeks or so. Do you think 461 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: Georgia goes with JT. Daniels or at least tries to 462 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: see if he could be a different option, or do 463 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: you think there could be something going on internally because 464 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: when he would get put in games, it almost seemed 465 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: like he didn't want to play. 466 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: Kolby, I'll just put it this way. 467 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: I watched Georgia football over the second half of the season, 468 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: and if they were going to try and find it time. 469 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: To put J. T. 470 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: Daniels in games and really get him some significant reps, 471 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: it would have already happened. They did not play a 472 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: murderer's row to close the season. They had an FCS team, 473 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: They had Georgia Tech that they ran the score up on. 474 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 2: If they wanted to get JT. Daniels a lot of work. 475 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: If J. T. 476 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: Daniels looked like he was a guy that was going 477 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: to give them a better chance to win than Stetson 478 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: Bennett does, they already would have started that process. They 479 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: would not have waited to get to Atlanta. It was 480 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: no mystery, by the way, for that coaching staff. Forget 481 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: about the point spread, forget about what the public was saying. 482 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: It was no mystery how well Stetson Bennett was going 483 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: to perform against Alabama if it came down to him. 484 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: They've already seen that movie. They played it last year. 485 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: They ended up getting the exact same final score this 486 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: year as they got last year in Tuscaloosa when Bama 487 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: beat him forty one to twenty four. 488 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: Then too. 489 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: But here's the thing, and I think it's a false 490 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: assumption that a lot of people are making. A lot 491 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: of people are assuming, all right, Stetson didn't get it 492 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: done against Alabama. And by the way, there was way 493 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: more to it than just what Stetson did or didn't do, 494 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: I can promise you. But the false assumption is, all right, well, 495 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: he didn't get it done, So that means the only 496 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: other shot is JT. 497 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 2: Daniels. Now we got to try him. 498 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: No, no, not if you look at practice and you 499 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: still think stets and Bennett gives you a better chance 500 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: to win. Let me tell you what costs Georgia the 501 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: other night. What cost Georgia is Alabama being totally one 502 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: dimensional coming into that game and still out rushing Georgia. 503 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: That's the hidden secret no one wants to talk about. 504 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: Georgia couldn't run the ball sets and Bennett had to 505 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: throw it nearly fifty times the other night. He had 506 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: more passing attempts than Bryce Young. And Bryce Young was 507 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: the guy coming in knowing I'm gonna have to single 508 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: handedly win this thing because we don't have. 509 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 2: A run game. 510 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: That's the part that costs Georgia. Georgia couldn't run the 511 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: ball against Alabama. I don't care if it's stets And 512 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: benned or JT. 513 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: Daniels. 514 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: If you're barely cracking one hundred yard mark in those 515 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: big games and you're Georgia, then you don't have much 516 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: of a shot to win. 517 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: These big games. I've also got news for you. 518 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: If Georgia doesn't run it better than that against Michigan, 519 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: they won't beat Michigan, And again I don't care who's playing. 520 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 2: Quarterback, but to go back to this called but yeah, I. 521 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: Do think something is going on that something could be 522 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: health related, it could be mental. 523 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. But JT. 524 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: Daniels was their starter against Clemson, to be very clear. 525 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,959 Speaker 1: So he was the guy that they tabbed going into 526 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: the season as their starter. And something changed when he 527 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: got obviously knocked out of games for a little while. 528 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: Something changed and he never got back to the point 529 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: where they felt like he still gives them the best 530 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: chance to win. Let's let him reassume his job. So 531 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: the answer to that question is not going to be 532 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: all right, Stetson didn't get it done that it's JT. 533 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 2: Start. 534 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: No, the answer will be JT give you a better 535 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: chance than Stetson Bennett. That's really all that matters. 536 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: There. Here's a good question. It is Ballad? Is TK Ballad? 537 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 2: Great name? 538 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 1: He says, this Alabama team versus twenty seventeen Bama, who 539 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: do you take? I would take twenty seventeen Alabama. I 540 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: take twenty twenty Alabama by double digits over this Alabama team. 541 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: If you guys mess around, which you already did and 542 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: let Alabama into the playoff. They may very well win 543 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: a title on you, and it's gonna be your fault. 544 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: You guys wanted parody, you did get parody. I mean, 545 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: you got a down year for Alabama. Alabama is in 546 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: the playoff. They are the one seed in a down 547 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: year for that program. 548 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 2: So it's not that. 549 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: Alabama is this immovable, unstoppable force that's wreaking havoc on 550 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: the sport. No, there were teams that had a shot 551 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: and they didn't get it done, and now you messed 552 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: around and let them in the playoff. Now here's a 553 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: question I want to ask you, guys, because I just 554 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: got this asked to me today. 555 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 2: If we call it. 556 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: A renaissance season but Alabama ends up winning the title, 557 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: was it still a renaissance season. I argue, absolutely, yes, 558 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: it was a renaissance season. I'll go right back to 559 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: the points I was just making. Think about all the 560 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: classic moments we had this season before you ever knew 561 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: how it was going to end. Think about all those 562 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: classic moments. We're not taking those moments away. You don't 563 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: wipe your memory clean. But I think what you do 564 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: see is you see a symptom of expansionism, expansionistism. If 565 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: you will, entering the equation here, think about the subconscious, 566 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: think about what we're asking. If you're even arguing this 567 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: with me, what you've allowed to creep into your mind 568 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: is the notion that the postseason defines the entire quality 569 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: of a college football season. 570 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 2: If you don't like the way the playoff goes, it. 571 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: Renders the quality of the entire twelve week regular season. 572 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: You just saw thirteen with conference title games irrelevant, which 573 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: is ASA nine and ten and eleven and twelve. 574 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: I don't feel that way. 575 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: So Alabama could win one hundred and thirty eight to 576 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: three in the semi final and then when two hundred 577 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: and nothing in the title game. Yeah, it was a 578 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: renaissance season because we saw crowds come back, We saw 579 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: a renewed enthusiasm and passion for the sport. We saw 580 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: a ton of new blood breakthrough. When's the last time 581 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: we saw a story like Meltucker at Michigan State? 582 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 2: Like, are you kidding me? 583 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: Look at what Lane Kiffin did at Old Miss dave 584 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: A Randa at Baylor, insane turnaround for that program. I'm 585 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: not taking that away. You don't wipe my memory clean 586 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: of those things, just because the team that happens to 587 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: win a lot one at the very end. I don't 588 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: care about the finish line. The race was awesome regardless 589 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: of what happens at the finish line. This year, we've 590 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,479 Speaker 1: got a finish line on this show, and you and 591 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: I both know before we get to it, we got 592 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: to take a break. 593 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 2: Be right back, got him, got him. 594 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: I really think that was a very subtle toss to break. 595 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: I don't think many of you saw that coming. John Adams, 596 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: Upton or Obtain asks a great question that I am 597 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: gonna haphazardly answer, and I probably need to think it 598 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: through a little bit more. But he said, when you 599 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: become college football commissioner, how will you structure the calendar? 600 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: So I put a tweet out about this earlier this year. 601 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 1: I had a lot of really good ideas for this, 602 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try and remember them. So this is 603 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: the first thing. I already told you I would move 604 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: Early Signing Day to August. But here's what I was 605 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: thinking about. So think about the National Championship game. It happens, 606 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: and here's what I'm trying to do. To be clear, 607 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to mirror what the NFL does. I'm not 608 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: about copying the NFL, except in this one thing. The calendar. 609 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: Make it a year long sport. Understand how to work this. 610 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: So here are some changes I would make. Bear with me. 611 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 2: First thing is you keep the National. 612 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: Championship Game where it is blah blah blah. So we 613 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: get through that, and you are then in the race 614 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: to signing day, So that takes care of January and 615 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: the lead up to early February. Now here's where it 616 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: gets really interesting. So then we've got a couple of months, 617 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: like a month or a month and a half until 618 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: spring practice. What I want to do is, I would 619 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: love to completely scrap the way we schedule. I don't 620 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: think we need to have schedules determine five or six 621 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: years in advance. I don't even think the conference schedules 622 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: need to be determined that far in advance. I would 623 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: scrap the scheduling model for all the conferences entirely. Since 624 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm the commissioner, they have to do what I say, 625 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: and I would in the days leading up to spring practice, 626 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: conference by conference, I would have specials like the NFL 627 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: does for their schedule release, and I would have a 628 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: special schedule release where you get told your conference schedule 629 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: for that year. You don't find out until right before 630 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: spring practice. 631 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 2: Then you have spring practice. 632 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: So we just took up the latter part of February 633 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: and all of March and early to mid April. When 634 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: we get out of April, we are gonna wrap that 635 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: month up either late April or early May. When everyone's 636 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: wrapped up spring practice, that's when we announced the out 637 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: of conference matchups. And the way we're gonna do that 638 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: is we're gonna have conference partnerships. So any given year, 639 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: you've got the Big twelve and the Big Ten partnering, 640 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: and so you know you're going to have X number 641 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: of Big Ten opponents on your schedule. You don't find 642 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: out who they are though, until spring practice is over, 643 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: so you don't really know your schedule until the end 644 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: of spring practice. Coaches will hate it because they say 645 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: they need that many months to prepare. I'm gonna tell 646 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: them tough deal with it. We had a COVID year 647 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: last year where you guys were scheduling opponents the week 648 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: of so I think it's gonna be okay. Go earn 649 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: your money. So that's the end of April early May. 650 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: Then keep in mind transfer portal season is red hot 651 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: through May. Then we're eventually getting to June, where you 652 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: got coaches going out on the road. It's a very 653 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: very hot time for recruiting. July comes around, and that's 654 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: when media days are happening. And also that is when 655 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: latter July early August, right probably before camp open. So 656 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: I think it's better to have it in late July. 657 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: That's when I would put the early signing day. And 658 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: so we begin July with Independence Day, let's shoot off 659 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: some fireworks. Then middle of July we got media days 660 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: and everyone kind of comes back to the table. Then 661 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: we know, right before fall camp opens, we've got early 662 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: signing Day. And then once we get into August. From 663 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: August until January, we've got football going on.
