1
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: Sunscreen and beach chairs. I need an umbrella, all of

2
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: which can be boughted academy. By the way, I need

3
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: all of those things because I'm on an island, and

4
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: the island I'm on is not the island of misfit toys.

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: It's the island basically of misfit predictions. All of us

6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: here on the island, we're the ones who are picking

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Miami to win the National Championship Game. We're jam packed,

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: We're high top of frigid downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Cannot wait

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: to get to Miami and get out of this ice box.

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: Looking forward to low seventies on Sunday and Monday. But

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: right that's Thursday. It is January what fifteenth, the O

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Our Lord, twenty twenty six. Happy to have you with us. Yes, friends,

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: Although the National Championship Game should have been played two

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we're still four days away. But we are

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. And yes, as I said, kind

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: of on an island. Here, I'm the one still stupid

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: enough to not doubt Kurt Signetti. I don't want to

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: put that out there in the ecosystem. I'm not doubting him.

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: I'm just choosing to believe in Mario a little bit,

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: choosing to believe in Carson Beck. Who's ever gone wrong

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: doing such things? So we're gonna talk about that, cubl

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be on the show later. He's reached his

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: breaking point. He's just yelling out into the clouds, and

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you hear him later. Something about the

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: transfer portal in Auburn, speaking of breaking points. Is college

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: football approaching a breaking point? No, well, I don't know.

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm gonna talk about it in a second. Got

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: a little Mario Cristobal legacy question on the show tonight.

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: Of course, it's a day that ends in why in January?

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: So the portal is acting crazy, although that's about to

31
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: come to an end. So we got a jam pack

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: show as it should be on the Thursday before the

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: National Championship game. They're watching us in Cleveland, Ohio, Denton, Texas,

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Waverley Hall, Georgia former home of the Waverley Hall Mariners

35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: in My Day, and Sunrise, Florida. Make sure if you

36
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: do nothing else other than breathe while you're watching the show,

37
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: make sure you're subscribed to the YouTube channel. We've had

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: a great year. Look, when we get done and we

39
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: get into February and we got less to talk about

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: in terms of immediate on field issues, I'm going to

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: just recap some of the stuff that's happened for us.

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: I like to be as full disclosure as I can

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: without you know, compromising negotiations and stuff or privacy laws.

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: But what a great year, and a lot of it's

45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: cause we were able to cross over half a million subscribers.

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: So thank you for everyone who participated and contributed. If

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: you haven't, or even if you think you have, make

48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: sure and check that you have, because maybe you haven't.

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: We always appreciate it. It's free. You're not signing up

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: for anything. You're just helping us when you subscribe. All right,

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into a lot tonight. The first

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: thing that I wanted to do before we talk about Miami,

53
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Indiana anymore, or we even talk about the portal. I

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: have an article in my hand from Ross dellingdert y'all

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: who and if you did not know, and judging by

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: the fact that most of you have lives to live,

57
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: you don't. The NCAA convention has been happening this week.

58
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Ross is up there because you know, it's his job

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: to cover such things, and he has been writing some

60
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: very very important literature, very very important work coming out

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: of the old NCUBLEA convention. It seems like it's every

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: bit as stuffy as it sounds like it would be.

63
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: Ross Dellinger, though, I very very strongly encourage you guys

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: to read over a yeahoo sports dot com what he's

65
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: written about this thing so far this week. So I

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: got two tweets that are up on the screen right

67
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: now if you're listening on podcasts. He's got first off

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: on the bottom here just kind of a capsule of

69
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: what he's been writing about, and it's about with little

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: national enforcement, there's no federal bills. Some college leaders are

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: calling for change. Huh gasp, my word, not his, He continues,

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: Can each conference govern itself, enforce rules, and compete only

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: with its members on exact berated industry searches for answers?

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: And then up top here is a quote Ross Scott

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: from Trev Alberts at Texas A and M. He's the

76
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: ad there quote. Lots of people in this league are saying,

77
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: what's plan B. I'd put a really small group together,

78
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: put everything on the table. You're saying, if we were

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: to go start over, what would it look like. The

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: longer we wait, the deeper the hole gets. Okay, what

81
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: is all this about? What is all this about? Well,

82
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: most of you know now, most of you again, have

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: lives to live. You got a normal job, You've got

84
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: mouths to feed, running around your own house, including your

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: own You got all kinds of different things going on

86
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: in your life. You love college footballer, you wouldn't be

87
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: watching the show right now. I get that, But let's

88
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: be real. Most of us aren't tangling ourselves up in

89
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: all the legal ease and the daily goings on in

90
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 1: the weeds of federal legislation, and what conferences are doing

91
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: here and what a lawyer is doing over there. You

92
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: just know what I know. It's a mess. You don't

93
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: really love the way it feels. I sort of missed

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: the structure, relatively speaking, that we used to have, and

95
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: in an ideal world, you'd love to have it back.

96
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: You haven't stopped watching the games, you haven't stopped loving

97
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: college football. You just detest some of the things orbiting

98
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: around college football. I've just described ninety five percent of

99
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: our audience. You don't really particularly care who's on which side.

100
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: You don't really particularly care about the Legalese. As Memoile

101
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: used to say, Legalese might as well be Portuguese. All

102
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: we know is some stuff seems really messed up and they.

103
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: Need to fix it.

104
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: They hashtag they need to fix it. Is that it? Yeah,

105
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: that's about it, all right, So Ross Dellinger hashtag one

106
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: of us. By the way, he's just paid to cover

107
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: this stuff. Ross Dellinger wrote something this week that caught

108
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: my attention, and I really think we need to discuss

109
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: it for just a second before we move on in

110
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: the show. I don't think the status quo is going

111
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: to exist much longer. So that's good news. Hey, if

112
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: you don't like the way things are right now, good news.

113
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be allowed to continue

114
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: like this because what you have right now is just

115
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: a total mess. What you have right now is like

116
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: a swimming pool in the bed of a pickup truck

117
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: driving down a gravel road in Harris County, Georgia. The

118
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: water's just sloshing all over the place. This is not

119
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: a sustainable model for a swimming pool. The water's all

120
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: going to be gone. Speaking of water, it actually this

121
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. Let me go down this road. All

122
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: the bickering back and forth about how the transfer portal

123
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: should work. You know, how many times should you be

124
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: able to transferm Is there supposed to be a cap

125
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: on how much you can pay players? Are people cheating?

126
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: Are they circumventing the cap? Are they leveraging third party deals?

127
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: Is it just glorified pay for play? Basically, isn't in

128
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: a giant money laundering scheme right now where the halves

129
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: are able to pay and the have nots have to

130
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: sit there and lose all their players to the halves.

131
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: All that happening and everybody bickering over it, and everybody

132
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: having an opinion. You know what it reminds me of.

133
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: It reminds me of like, we don't deal with this

134
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: where I'm from, But I have always read out West

135
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: about them dealing with water issues, water restrictions, water debates,

136
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what college football is right now.

137
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: And it strikes me every time Ross Dellinger covers a conference,

138
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: and every time Ross Dellinger gets a quote from a

139
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: commissioner or an ad or an anonymous administrator, it strikes

140
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: me the same way. It's like the closer someone is

141
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: to the issue, the further away they are from understanding

142
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: the totality of the issue. Sounds counterintuitive, right, These people

143
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: are in the weeds day to day. Don't they know

144
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: more than you do about it? Yes, they know more

145
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: specific details about what's going on in their world than

146
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: I do. It's their job to That's not what I said.

147
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 1: I didn't say they don't know more details than someone

148
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: like you, or someone like me, or someone like your

149
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: buddies who just watched college football on Saturday. I said,

150
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: the closer someone is to these issues, the further away

151
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: they seem to be from understanding the issue. So correlate

152
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: it to like a water restriction debate out in Nevada,

153
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: out in the deserts of California. You got towns and

154
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: you've got states, and they're locked in legal battles over

155
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: water conflicts. What's the most important thing in a water conflict?

156
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Some of you live in an area of the country

157
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: where this happens all the time, So what's the most

158
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: important thing. It's not a trick question, but it kind

159
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: of Is is it reasonable access to the water? Is

160
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: it environmental impact? Is it irrigation versus electrical is it

161
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: population study, what's the most important thing. The most important

162
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: thing is the water, because without the water, none of

163
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the stuff matters. And for a long

164
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: time now, college football leaders, college football administrative types, the

165
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: sweater vest crowd, they've debated this stuff back and forth,

166
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: and you've got bad actors on both sides, and then

167
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: you've got good actors on both sides.

168
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: But everyone's just.

169
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: Screaming back and forth, and people like us sit back.

170
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: One day each side realizes everything that you get to

171
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: debate right now is downstream of one key ingredient, and

172
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: that is interest. Fan Interest. Fans are the most important

173
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: aspect in this entire equation. Now, they're taken for granted.

174
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: The interest is treated as a constant, when in the reality,

175
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: it's a variable. It's just that it's taken for granted

176
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: that you'll always care, that you'll always be there, that

177
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: you'll always watch these TV ratings will always look like

178
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: they do, which I'll get to in a second. But

179
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: that's not a constant. It very much is a variable

180
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: that I choose to love college football, that I choose

181
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: to watch it, and I choose to watch it along

182
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: with others in the numbers that it takes to make

183
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: it as profitable a venture as it is. Truthfully, most

184
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 1: of these people are only involved because it's so profitable.

185
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if this were a charity over here, I

186
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: doubt we'd have this many interested parties. We'd have some,

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: but he's all over the place that operate in good faith.

188
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: But this right here is a business, and it became

189
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: an atm for a lot of people, and it still is.

190
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: And again, not all those folks are bad, but contingent

191
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: on all of that is fan interest, and you got

192
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: to make sure you don't drive people away. Now, I

193
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: know it is a very very foreign concept that anyone

194
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: could ever become disinterested in football in this country. And

195
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: I'll grant you that it is. But I will say,

196
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: at the very least, you know because you are out there.

197
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I know, because I'm right there with you, locked arm

198
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: in arm. You don't really love where things are right now.

199
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: And they don't necessarily speak that kind of language at

200
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 1: the NCAA convention. They don't really speak that kind of

201
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: language at conference spring meetings. These people are isolated. These

202
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: people don't live amongst you. These people largely live amongst themselves.

203
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: These people largely breathe the same air. They don't breed

204
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: the same area you do, and therefore they don't really

205
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: understand the dynamics in play here. If you get everything

206
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: straightened out the way you want it, or in your

207
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: water debates, if you get all of the concessions that

208
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: you want but there's no water left over, it doesn't

209
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: really matter which concessions you got. And likewise, if you

210
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: get everything, if you get a collective bargaining agreement over

211
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: in this camp or if you get federal antitrust exemption

212
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: over in that camp, but in the aggregate, you've shaved

213
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of interest off your sport. It lost

214
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: its value anyway. The money's not there anymore to the

215
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: degree it was anyway. So my only viewpoint on all

216
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: this from the seat I said in is I don't

217
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: really care about the legal ease. I didn't go to

218
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Peyton State Law School, so I don't hold that degree.

219
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: That's not on my wall at home. So frankly, I

220
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: don't really care. I get phone calls all the time

221
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: from people trying to state their case on this stuff.

222
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm respectful, I listen to it, but at the end

223
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: of the day, I just say the same three or

224
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: four things. How are you going to get this thing

225
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: fixed to where fan interest is maintained and growable, scalable.

226
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: How's that going to happen? And how does college football

227
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: look the way it should in order for that to

228
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: take place? Because right now it doesn't really look the

229
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: way it should. The games are still great, but by

230
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: the time the games suffer, by the time the Saturday

231
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: product really suffers, you've long since lost everyone. That's why

232
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: you can't trust drive by leadership. That's why you can't

233
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: trust the group that treats college football like a rental car.

234
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: You can't trust them because they use things like TV

235
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: ratings as an argument to bolster their stance. I mean,

236
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: there are people who will look you dead in the

237
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: eye right now when I talk the way I do,

238
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: and their only response will be, well, if college football

239
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: is so broken, why are the TV ratings so high?

240
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm serious. That's something that a bad faith actor, a

241
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: drive by leader, will tell you. They can afford to

242
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: hold that stance because they won't be here by the

243
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: time the poison drifts far enough down the river to

244
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: affect the water supply. A lot of water analogies in

245
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: the show tonight for some reason. But I've told you

246
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: this from the You don't dump poison in Saint Louis,

247
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Missouri and the Mississippi and immediately affect New Orleans. It

248
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: takes it a little while. And likewise, you don't make

249
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: bad decisions today in college football and kill the sport tomorrow.

250
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: In fact, it'd be very hard to kill college football.

251
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: But what we're talking about here is not killing anything.

252
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: What we're talking about is detrimentally impacting it. And you

253
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: can't continue with the way things are right now. You

254
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: can't continue to erode interest in quite literally everything other

255
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: than the games on the field and not have the

256
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: collateral damage eventually include viewership of the games on the field.

257
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: If you don't believe that can happen, you haven't really

258
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: studied the American entertainment model long enough. There is a

259
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: limit to what people will tolerate by you taking advantage

260
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: of their viewership. There's a limit to it. So I

261
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: just hope, and I think this is not just hope.

262
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: I think we are very very clear to pretty radical

263
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: action taken that could mean a breakaway from the NCAA

264
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: and a new subdivision created. I'm not necessarily telling you

265
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm in favor or against any of this. I'm telling

266
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: you I think something's about to change that's pretty major,

267
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: and it could be a breakaway. It could be self

268
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: governance inside conferences, where the Big ten governs itself, the

269
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: SEC governs itself. For the record, I've said that's probably

270
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: the most likely path for five years now, and it

271
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: looks like we're closer to that than ever. Whatever the

272
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: case may be, you've got to incentivize players remaining on

273
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: the same roster and being paid to do so and

274
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: incentivized to do so, and revenue sharing. No one's got

275
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: a problem with it. That's the old caveat you always

276
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: got to say. It's like, oh, I want him to

277
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: be paid. But it's like anytime you say something about

278
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: a politician, you've always got a caveat it. Now, I

279
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: don't agree with everything he says, I don't agree with

280
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: everything she says, but no one cares. Just just state

281
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: your opinion. So my opinion is, yeah, I don't care

282
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: that the players are being paid. What I do care

283
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: about more so than the players being paid, more so

284
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: than coaches being paid. More so than anything, I care

285
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: about the product. That's what I care about everything else

286
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: is downstream of that, because if we're not getting a

287
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: worthwhile product, it doesn't matter how much money anyone else

288
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: is making. You ruin the product. I'm not here anymore.

289
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm at Quick Trip. Quick Trip fueling the Fauldon't Lie Tour.

290
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: We're headed to Miami, last game of the season. We

291
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: got to make it count, last game of the season

292
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Quick Trip is fueled the Faultn't Light

293
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Tour all year and they have caffeinated me all year.

294
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: They have fed me all year, not just me, anyone

295
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: rolling with us. And I cannot tell you When I

296
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning and I refresh my social

297
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: feeds how many times per morning? A couple of dozen

298
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: at least. I'm tagged by people who were at a

299
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: Quick Trip gas pump or at the colbrew on tap

300
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: station in the Quick Trip and decided, you know what,

301
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a picture to tag him. I'm going

302
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: to tag them. I just want them to know I

303
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: was at Quick Trip this morning. Hey, I love it.

304
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: They love it obviously, you guys love it. Quick Trip

305
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: is the presenting partner of this show. I mean they

306
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: are maximally invested maximally maxim maximum investment, the highest possible

307
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: level one could be invested in this show quick trip

308
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: is and I, in turn, emotionally at least am invested

309
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: in them. Let's move on. Got Cuberlic coming up in

310
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: a little while. He's mad, what's new. But in the meantime,

311
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: Transfer portal update Thursday, Damon Wilson scheduling some visits. So

312
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: that's the number five overall player in the portal, the

313
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: number two edge courtesy of the on three rankings right now.

314
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: He was at Georgia. He went to Missouri, had a

315
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: really good year at Missouri last year. This can be

316
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: a premier rusher for you. And looking at NACo's updated

317
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: some stuff today Texas Tech, I think he's out there

318
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: right now. I think he's visiting out there right now.

319
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: It looks like Miami's gonna get a visit soon. Rumor

320
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: on the street is Miami's a little preoccupied at the

321
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: moment with some kind of game they got Monday. But nevertheless,

322
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: those are two big spenders. It's no mystery. It's no

323
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: mystery what the priority is in Damon Wilson's portal recruitment.

324
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: Both of those teams are losing premier pass rushers too,

325
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: So those are puzzle piece fits. Like it makes perfect sense.

326
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: That is a big time player, that is a difference

327
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: making player. Keep an eye on him. LSU's making moves.

328
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: Not that we are shocked, but LSU, who sign Longstreet,

329
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: has also headed to LSU. Now you remember the last

330
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: time we talked, it wasn't about long Street signing there,

331
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: it was about LSU signing Sam Levitt. This is another

332
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: example now of a program that's signing multiple quarterbacks and

333
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: it's great for them because it fills their quarterback room.

334
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: It rounds out their quarterback room. I think long Street

335
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: has some kind of family tie in Louisiana as well,

336
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: so this kind of made sense. But he's got multiple

337
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: years left to play, so he's not a guy who

338
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: needed to leave USC and just exclusively go somewhere where

339
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: he can start, just like Dylan Ryola didn't need to

340
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: leave Nebraska and immediately start. Like Ryola is gonna sit

341
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: behind Dante More for a year, Well maybe long Street's

342
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: about to sit behind Sam Levitt. And you're sitting behind

343
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: Sam Levitt in a really good system to be marinating

344
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: in as a player, so that fills out their quarterback room. Also,

345
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: I saw Shaye Dixon over on the LSU on three

346
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: board earlier today talking about a pair of twins redundant.

347
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: But Zach Grace is an Oregon tied end and Theo

348
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: Grace is a North Dakota linebacker. They're both visiting. I

349
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a package deal. It makes sense

350
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: that it would be a package deal to Lane's not done,

351
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: nor is Brent Key Justice Haynes to Georgia Tech. This

352
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: made perfect sense. As soon as I saw the headline,

353
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Was at Alabama,

354
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: went and had a good year before he got hurt

355
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: from Michigan, and I think he can do the same

356
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: thing at Georgia Tech. And he better be able to

357
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: do the same thing. He's the number twenty two overall

358
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: player in the on three portal rankings. He fits the

359
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: style they're going to have to lean on there. Just

360
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: remember what's happened with Georgia Tech. So Georgia Tech was

361
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: in the thick of the playoff race, the ACC championship race,

362
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: had a good year, ultimately fell a little short there

363
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: at the end. But then Haines King leaves because he's

364
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: got to leave, he's done, and then you lose your

365
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and you lose Aaron Filo, who was going

366
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: to be the quarterback there. They both go to Florida,

367
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: and so you're wondering, Okay, who's quarterback going to be here? Well,

368
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: in any event, I mean, you're obviously not going to

369
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: have a ton of starparate at the quarterback position. You're

370
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: going to be a run heavy offense, and you're gonna

371
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: need players, especially at least one like Justine Hayines. So

372
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense that he goes there.

373
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: He fits the style they're going to have to lean on.

374
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: What about the style Indiana leans on? Pretty unique style,

375
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: pretty unique and as a result they're in the national

376
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: title game. But what if I told you they have

377
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: the number two ranked portal class in the on three

378
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: portal rankings, I would be telling the truth. They do.

379
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: In fact, when we were putting the show together, they

380
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: had number one, So there was like fluctuation even as

381
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: we were looking at the monitor. But look at these

382
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: players they've signed. Josh Hoover is going to be a

383
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: plug and play starter quarterback for them. I'm really high

384
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: on Nick marsh I think probably his potential in Indiana

385
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: makes him underrated as only the number thirty two player

386
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: in the portal. They got aj Harris the corner the

387
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: dB from Penn State, ShaSS Preston the wide receiver from Tulane.

388
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: So they've got a lot of good players there. And

389
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: remember they get a little extended window as opposed to

390
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: everyone else after the National Championship game because they're playing

391
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: in it. Ohio State's making some moves too. Ohio State

392
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: strikes me a little differently though. They got Quay Rusaw

393
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: and James Smith, both from Alabama, and those both can

394
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: be really good players, and conditionally or situationally, they were

395
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: for Alabama this year. But Ohio State, unlike some of

396
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: these places, they're not looking in desperation mode at filling

397
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: starting spots. Like these guys can play starting minutes for them,

398
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: starting snaps for them. It's not like they're making wholesale

399
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: changes where they're starting twenty two. What they're doing is

400
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: they're trying to build their roster. They're trying to build

401
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: their top forty or top forty five, and that's a

402
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: pretty privileged position to be in. And if you recruit

403
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: high school and you retain well enough then hey, that

404
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 1: can be where you find yourself. Ohio State does that

405
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: at an okay clip, so transfer portal not open for

406
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: much longer. In fact, this may be the last time

407
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 1: we talk about it, or there could be fireworks right

408
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: at the end, because I mean, these guys are really

409
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,959
Speaker 1: running up against this deadline now to get in now.

410
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: Once you're in, you can stay in as long as

411
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: you want. So the deadline's not you have to commit

412
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: by this deadline. The deadline is just you have to

413
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: be in the portal by the deadline. You can stay

414
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: in there until until April for all they care, I think,

415
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: is the way that works. I'll tell you something that

416
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited about, not necessarily the portal. I'm excited that

417
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: if you go to paint statemateial dot com right now,

418
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: we have I don't know how many Jesse like four

419
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: or five brand new shirts. We just we basically have

420
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: new university themed shirts.

421
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: Now.

422
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: The one I'm most excited about, and the one we've

423
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: been workshopping and finally can debut, is the MacLachlan School

424
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: of Music. It's going to be a hot seller. I

425
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: know because I'm already wearing that thing in my mind.

426
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't have it physically yet. We got the Challice

427
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Cafe T shirt debuting the Department of Saturday Sciences. Basically

428
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: any kind of concept that they have on the campus

429
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: of a real life university. We could just we could

430
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: just create it in our minds here, but that MacLachlan

431
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: School of Music. We made sure to spell our name

432
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: right and everything. It's gonna be a it's gonna be

433
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: a great spring at the Peate State Store. I mean,

434
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: we got some Valentine's concepts coming up too, so there

435
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: is no shortage. Like I know, a lot of you went,

436
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: and you went early in the season last year and

437
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: you just kind of filled your basket with everything we

438
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: had to offer in there. Make sure you keep checking

439
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: because Alex and the team keep updating the store. Remember

440
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: like we had a version one point zero of the

441
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: store where we struggled to keep things in stock and

442
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: we had like six options. Now we don't struggle to

443
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: keep things in stock, and we got like six million

444
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: options over there and growing. So I'm betting the McLaughlin

445
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: School of Music does the best. I'm also tilting the

446
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: odds in my favor by mentioning it a lot. We

447
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: got several good offerings there, peytstatematerial dot com. Let's move on.

448
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: We got a question this very relevant to Monday night.

449
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: So Trey from Sarasota, Florida said, people have bashed Morio

450
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: Cristbaul so much, and yet he's sixty minutes away from

451
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: a national title at his sleeping giant alma mater. How

452
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: would a playoff title win mold his legacy big time?

453
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: Big time. There's no reason to be a contrarian here.

454
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it would make Mario a legend down there.

455
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: And Mario walked in and tried to do what a

456
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: lot of guys have tried to do, and that is

457
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: resurrect the identity of that program to look like it

458
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: used to look. The difference is he's just the guy

459
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: who finally did it, did it in a way different

460
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: format than they used to do it down there, because

461
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: everyone's got to do that now because college football is

462
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: totally different. But he's the guy who actually did it

463
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: to me thus far, that's his legacy. Now. If he

464
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: wins a title on Monday Night, you're talking about an

465
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: entirely different classification, not just in the lineage of Miami

466
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: head coaches, but in the lineage of college football head coaches.

467
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there are very very few active coaches that

468
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: have national championships, Like it's a handful of them that

469
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: have national championships. So last time before he came there

470
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: that they had back to back double digit win seasons

471
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: was two to three. Yes, Yes, an entire generation is

472
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: seeing Miami do something that they haven't seen them do

473
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 1: basically in their lifetime. Look at twenty twenty two on

474
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: this little slider here that Bradley's showing you on the screen.

475
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Do you remember that year? It was only three years ago?

476
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: Do you remember the five and seven year? You remember

477
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee State dog walking Miami in Miami? Do you

478
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: remember Duke coming in there and just owning Miami in Miami?

479
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: And do you remember because I remember what they said

480
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: about Mario afterwards, because everyone was fooled into thinking he

481
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: was taking over a pretty good roster and oh it's Miami.

482
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: You know they got to have good athletes down there.

483
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: Even in year one. You can't be losing to MTSU.

484
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: And I remember thinking, what does that mean? Though, you

485
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: can't lose to Middleton? Okay, well they did, he just did,

486
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? Are you going to fire him. No,

487
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: so obviously you can lose to Middle Tennessee in year one,

488
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: especially if you understand sometimes your entry point is rock bottom.

489
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes your entry point is when things are still going downhill,

490
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: and sometimes your entry point is such that you need

491
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: to A phrase we use around here sometimes is torch

492
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: the barn and kill the rats, which just means a

493
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: full start over. That's about as close to what they

494
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: did down there as you get in major college football.

495
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: He knew it we were down there his first year there.

496
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: He laid it all out, I mean, in graphic competitive detail.

497
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: He laid out what it was going to take. He

498
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: laid out the corners that they were not going to

499
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: cut because he understood to ultimately get where we go,

500
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: we're going to have to bite the bullet in twenty

501
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty twenty three, like, obviously, you want

502
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: to win every game, but not at the expense of

503
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: the overall direction of the program. And to his credit,

504
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: they didn't. They did not, And to his credit, they've

505
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: continued to grow. I think Mario's continued to grow. A

506
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: lot of the criticisms of him have been you know,

507
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: there's some people who thought he was just a recruiter.

508
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: He's not a coach, and his in game decision making

509
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: is questionable. His end of game decision making, there have

510
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: been times where it's bitten him. No one said that

511
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: as of late, though they haven't said that as of

512
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: late because it really hasn't happened as much. It hasn't

513
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: happened as much because out of the public spotlight, he

514
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: really took it personal and made it his mission down

515
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: there to rectify that. I mean, if your quarterback's got

516
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: accuracy problems, what does he work on in the spring

517
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: and summer accuracy? So, if you've got critical moments in

518
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: games where situationally and operationally you're not giving your team

519
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: the best chance to win, that's a reflection on you.

520
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: So what do you do in the spring and summer.

521
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: Either you work on that stuff, or you delegate that

522
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: stuff and you hire people who are going to make

523
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: you better in those moments. They've done that. It doesn't

524
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: get any attention because it's not a coordinator higher or

525
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: it's not a quarterback edition out of the portal, but

526
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: they've done that. So that's growth, and that leads to

527
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: a potential legacy defining moment Monday Night. But I also, look,

528
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: here's what I appreciate more so than anything. You could

529
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: never You can never really see this unless you just

530
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: get to be around it. The intensity in that building

531
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: is off the charts. And I'm not talking about leading

532
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: up to a national championship game. I'm talking about a

533
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: random Tuesday in the middle of March, when you're in

534
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: the middle of spring practice. You could go down there,

535
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: because we often do go down there in April after

536
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: spring ball is over. There's just an off the charts

537
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: intensity and it's that way to an extent no matter

538
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: where you go. But man, it's a different volume at

539
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: Miami and the ability to operate at that level year round.

540
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: It just boggles the mind. That to me is the

541
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: It's not an accomplishment because like they would look at

542
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: that as a prerequisite, like why are you even discussing

543
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: that these are non negotiables. This is just how it's

544
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: gotta be. That's the impressive part, because the outside world

545
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: is not like that. Much of the outside college football

546
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: world is not like that. And if there's one thing

547
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: that I wish we could do, like in the way

548
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 1: of a field trip, is I wish we could just

549
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: load up a bus call him and tell him we're

550
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: on our way, and just take a bus of civilians,

551
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: just normal college football civilian types. Pull him out of

552
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: a restaurant, pull them off the job site, just hop

553
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: in a bus and head down to Coral Gables for

554
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: a day. Just watch the way that place operates, and

555
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: you would be shocked. It would be like being tossed

556
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of a war zone. Like you'd be

557
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: shell shock, and then you'd come back and you'd be

558
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: laying in your bed at night, eyes wide open, saying,

559
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: hold up, that's the way it is every day down there.

560
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: How do normal humans even operate? They don't. They're not

561
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: normal humans, at least that part of their brain. Not normal,

562
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: not normal. And I have enjoyed, speaking of legacy, I

563
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: have enjoyed during this playoff run. You've seen a little

564
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: bit more Mario Cristobaul, and you've seen like him going

565
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: back and forth with Scott Van Pelt. You've seen him

566
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: up on the stage accepting the trophy, and you've just

567
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: seen guy is a little different from the neck up,

568
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: a little bit different. Well, that is a small glimpse

569
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: of how different that guy is. There are stories that

570
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: coaches tell about him, that player personnel types tell about him,

571
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: that players tell about him. I love being around it,

572
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: I love hanging around it. I just tell you it's

573
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: not for everybody. That environment's not for everybody. Mario Cristabaul

574
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: is not for everybody. But you know what, Neither is

575
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart, neither is Ryan Day, Neither was Nick Saban. Like,

576
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: there are a lot of places where they win at

577
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: a high level, and yet some people are turned off

578
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: by it. In my opinion, you're not really fully maximizing

579
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: your potential and operating at peak efficiency until you can

580
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: say that, because any college football program or high level

581
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: organization that's operating near a peak efficiency has a climate

582
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a turnoff to an average person because

583
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: you don't achieve at a high level with average people.

584
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: So you got to fill your building with high achievers. Now,

585
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: high achievers look around and this is just a normal Tuesday.

586
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: An average person in a room full of high achievers

587
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: looks around and thinks, this is unsustainable. But we can't

588
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: work like this year round. No, you can't work like

589
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: this year round. That's why this place probably isn't for you.

590
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: That's how it feels at Miami. That's the legacy because

591
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to create that and it hasn't existed down

592
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: there in a long time. And now you hope that

593
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: the results just are a byproduct of that, because that's

594
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: usually how the sport works. Academy Sports and Outdoors can

595
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: get you geared up now. Thankfully, if you guys live

596
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: in South Florida, you're not stocking up on cold weather

597
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: gear right now. Some of us are less fortunate, and

598
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: so we are. Fortunately for us, we have Academy Sports

599
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: and Outdoors, so we got several of them even within

600
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: a stone's throw of where I sit right now. So

601
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: I just pop over there anytime I want to, and

602
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: I frequently do. And of course we've got spring sports

603
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: season coming up. Some of you are still playing winter sports.

604
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: No matter what gear up at Academy Sports and Outdoors.

605
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: If you can get there in person, I encourage you.

606
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: Place always uplifts you. You walk in with a frown,

607
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: you walk out with a smile and cheek full of

608
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: big league chew. Maybe always recommend groundball great, But if

609
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: you can't get there in person, Academy dot Com as

610
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: your hook up. And we've always loved being in business

611
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: with Academy. They've been a partner of ours for a

612
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: long time, and we appreciate them. They've always been there

613
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: for us and they can be there for you. We

614
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: got a cublic on deck. Let me answer this one

615
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: more question. I wanted to fit this one in. Isaiah

616
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: from Fort Worth said, with all the changes in the

617
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: media space, are you ever going to cover the NFL?

618
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: I have no plans to cover the NFL. I don't

619
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: watch a ton of NFL, Isaiah. I used to be

620
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: immersed in the NFL. But Sundays our busiest work day.

621
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: So hop you hop down to church, and then you

622
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: hop out of church and maybe get to the gym,

623
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: but then it's right into the office and we're wall

624
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: to wall college football on Sunday. So I just don't

625
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: really get to watch much of the NFL. Now. I

626
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: will tell you this, I watched every playoff game in

627
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: the last round, so I watched probably more NFL in

628
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: the past weekend than I had the entire year combined.

629
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: I just love college football. We're blessed to be able

630
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: to pick a lane now. Used to be in the

631
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: sports media world, even fifteen years ago. If you were

632
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: kind of gonna get in this game at the highest level,

633
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: you had to be what they would call a generalist,

634
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: which is someone who talks everything. When it's basketball season,

635
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: you're talking college hoops, NBA finals, roll around, you're talking

636
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: NBA finals. I don't talk about any of that. I

637
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: just do college football year round. That's why I'm so

638
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: blessed to exist in an era where podcasting and YouTube

639
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: has come of age, because that's just on demand all

640
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: the time, and you get to dictate what you listen

641
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: to and what you watch all year. And that means

642
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: if there's something that really has a year round interest factor,

643
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: like college football, you really can talk about it year

644
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: round exclusively and people will listen and people will watch.

645
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: That's our show. We just talk about college football all year.

646
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly when you get to February and March,

647
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: we have a little more time to mix in different

648
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: themes and elements. But no, no NFL for me. I

649
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: lead that to someone else. I love college football. Like truthfully,

650
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: if we were to get into different verticals, which is

651
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: like a fancy industry term for new shows or new themes,

652
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: it would probably be outside of sports. Like I could

653
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: easily see if you fast forward two years, we have

654
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: an entire storm chasing channel or something like that, because

655
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: I do that in the spring. The only thing that

656
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: preemps our shows in the spring is if we're out

657
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: storm chasing. I could see getting into that, but covering

658
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: another sport aside from college football, I don't really see

659
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: that for myself. I would challenge FanDuel to put odds

660
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: on it. Why not? I mean, I'm not against it.

661
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: Probably would be restricted from betting on it. But what

662
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: you're not restricted from, depending on what state you live in,

663
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 1: at least, is betting on the National Championship game Monday night, Indiana.

664
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: I believe at this hour minus eight and a half

665
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: I saw those over under total rushing statistics Jesse. They

666
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: fluctuated wildly from the other day. So when here's what

667
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: you do know, you do know that I took Miami

668
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: plus eight and a half the other day. What you

669
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: didn't know is I also took them over ninety six

670
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: and a half rushing yards. It was at one oh

671
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: four this morning. I can't take credit for it because

672
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: it worked the opposite way when I bet the Oregon

673
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: rushing totals last week. So I'm like a sparrow in

674
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: a hurricane right now betting these over under rushing numbers,

675
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: but you get a profit boost if you're betting on

676
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: this game. Go to FanDuel right now. Profit boost on

677
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: the National Championship game gonna be a fun one. But

678
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: if you don't really care, Like if you're a I mean,

679
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: if you're a Minnesota fan and you're just totally checked

680
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: out on this, you're like, you're gonna watch the game,

681
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: but you're not interested in betting on it. You know,

682
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: they've got the Heisman odds for next year already posted,

683
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: so there are a number of things that are already available.

684
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: Not to mention, they're fifty different ways, probably more than

685
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: fifty actually, that you could bet just on this game

686
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: and get a profit boost while you're at it. Fan

707
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 2: Tuesday Date Night podcasts. It's okay, I'll tell the wife again.

708
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: You don't listen. Yeah, it's been a Costco run this

709
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 2: week for Tuesday Date Night. It's in. You're gonna want

710
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: to hear that.

711
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: I thought, well, she made one. Someone else just stood

712
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: in the parking lot and filmed like a full on creep.

713
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: I can't assume who that was, so we'll just leave

714
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: that unspoken. You are not famous for that, well, let

715
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: me rephrase, you're not only famous for that. This week

716
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: starring in Tuesday Date Night podcast co hosting. I did

717
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: that thing this week where I was kind of busy.

718
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: Tell you know, you pull up the phone, you scroll

719
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: and scroll and scroll in uh something about Iran. I

720
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: don't know. We're involved in something over there all right?

721
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: In Kurt Signetti versus twenty nineteen LSU Nope, MS. Scroll

722
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: past that, and then I see you, and I see

723
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of graphics that other people made about you. Allegedly,

724
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use the index finger. I'm gonna wag it allegedly,

725
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: just be smirching Auburn fans who are worried about losing

726
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: Cam Coleman, who were worried about losing Deuce Night, who

727
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: are Look, they're just worried that the program's gonna implode

728
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: in on itself like a dying star over losing those

729
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,479
Speaker 1: two players. And you had the audacity to push back

730
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: on that from what I hear, But I didn't have

731
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: time to watch the clips. So please get me up

732
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: to speed. Defend yourself. Take as much time as you need,

733
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: as long as it's not over thirty minutes, and walk

734
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: me up to speed on what's happening.

735
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: Defend myself. Okay, I would like to take this time

736
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: to apologize to absolutely no one. In the words of

737
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: Connor McGregor. Andy Bertram comes on our show every Tuesday.

738
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 2: He does a great job. We asked him thousand foot

739
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: view of how things are going under Alex Golish, the

740
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: new head coach at Auburn, and he gave a couple

741
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: of great answers, and then the names cam Coleman induced

742
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: night came out of his mouth and I just kind

743
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 2: of lost it. I not his fault, he wasn't doing this,

744
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: not directed at him. And I think maybe being in

745
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 2: Atlanta over the weekend at the Peach Bowl and multiple

746
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: Auburn fans stopping me asking me specifically about these two players,

747
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: the amount of texts I had DMS from Alabama fans

748
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: over the weekend asking if they were going to get

749
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 2: cam Cale, like, I give a rip, especially if he's

750
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: going to go there. I don't care where he goes,

751
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: what he's going to do, it doesn't matter. But this

752
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 2: hypersensitivity to those two individuals, and this is not on them.

753
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: This is not an indictment of them. I think they

754
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: both can be great players. They've both shown flashes of brilliance.

755
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: I do think it's a fair question to ask how

756
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 2: many games Auburn one of them because of last year.

757
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: As Greg McRoy said on our show Mercer, that would

758
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: be the one that he would provide for you. So

759
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: if you want to pump your chest out for that one,

760
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: good go for it. But when you're talking about a

761
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: new coach coming in rebuilding a program, I don't want

762
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: to hear about guys that are out for themselves and

763
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: out for the bag and trying to see if they

764
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 2: can go and raise their value to go get more

765
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 2: money somewhere else. And I understand this is the time

766
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: in college football where you can move and go do

767
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: your own thing and be your own guy and go

768
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: different places. And he'll be TJ. Finley for all I

769
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: care and play at all the schools. Good luck. But

770
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: I don't think any one player, Josh ever cripples a program.

771
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 2: No program has crumbled when individual player or even let's

772
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 2: just say group of players have left. And Cam Newton

773
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 2: was the popular response, which, hey, and when I say leave,

774
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm graduation, NFL draft portal, kicked off team. Whatever. He's

775
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: a good one. They were terrible. The next year they

776
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 2: were in the National Championship Game, three years later, so

777
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily bring the program to its knees. We've seen

778
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 2: this with a lot of different programs. First round draft picks,

779
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 2: number one picks, guys that have transferred to go play

780
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: other places. Guess what, you can get more players out

781
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: of the portal to come in and hopefully be better teammates,

782
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 2: better students, better guys in the locker room, in the facility,

783
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: and may be even better football players. And what the

784
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 2: portal has done, I think it's driven our brains to

785
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 2: a place where only ceiling and recruiting, recruitability, recruiting stars,

786
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: like that's what matters very rarely. And when we're just

787
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: talking portal, do we go look at productivity because if

788
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: we did collectively, there'd be a lot more Indiana's out

789
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 2: there right now. And maybe I'm just overblowing what Indiana

790
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 2: has done, and I'm falling way too in love with

791
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: how they're building their program and thinking that other people

792
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 2: can come close to replicating that and seeing the lack

793
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: of me guys and the guys that are willing to

794
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 2: go out there and sacrifice for the greater good of

795
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: the play or the scheme or the team or other

796
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: people having success and it's kind of ruined me a

797
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: little bit. But I just it had been overly repetitive

798
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: with those two names, and nothing was really directed at them.

799
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 2: But I'm only gonna be fair and say you go

800
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: out there and wear a pink ski mask to be

801
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: different than everybody else, you show some clown tendencies on

802
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 2: social media when you're on your way out, that guy's

803
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: carrying your program. And the other part of this is

804
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 2: there have been individuals that have carried programs. Cam would

805
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 2: be one. There are other guys that have put the

806
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: program on their back, like he got your Bo Jackson's

807
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: and your herschel Walker's and your guys that carried the program.

808
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 2: But you still need guys to allow that to happen.

809
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 2: And those are even more so the players I'm referencing.

810
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 2: So when you do get said superhero, all the ancillary

811
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 2: parts can allow superhero to be superhero. Because Cam Newton

812
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: had four senior starting offensive linemen, he had multiple defensive

813
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: linemen that had played three, four or five years of football.

814
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 2: He had Josh Bindes, an inside linebacker that had been

815
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 2: a three year starter and had probably seen everything that

816
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 2: there was going to be the scene a veteran tight end,

817
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: a veteran leadership in Emory Blake, another wide receiver, and

818
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: Cody Burns that had spent time at quarterback, so knew

819
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: all different types of the offense and fast is of

820
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 2: what things can happen. All of those things allowed him

821
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 2: to go be him. Now. Is it still the greatest

822
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 2: individual season I've ever witnessed? Yes, because there's not another

823
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: NFL reception or an NFL rushing attempt from that offense

824
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: in twenty ten. But it's not a Cam Newton conversation.

825
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: It's a conversation about how not even he, not even

826
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: Darren McFadden, not even Henry no great player crumbles a program.

827
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: And that was the frustration level that I was at.

828
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 2: It just happened to be that those two individuals were

829
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 2: the ones that I was repeatedly being asked about. And

830
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm just beyond frustrated with the fear from some groups

831
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 2: of Auburn fans that don't think it can be overcome,

832
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 2: and I don't BSU on this show. Some of that

833
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 2: was directed at the Auburn administration and the obsession with

834
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: trying to say, what can we do to make sure

835
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: these two people stay? And I literally got to the

836
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: problem with I don't give an f what these two

837
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: people say and if they stay or if they want

838
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: to stay, because if they don't want to be there,

839
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: you shouldn't want them there. And that's what's lost in

840
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 2: a lot of this. It's like we're trying. It was like,

841
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 2: we go back to this whole situation at Washington, We're

842
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 2: going to file a lawsuit to make a kid play

843
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: for our team. How is that going over in your

844
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: locker room? Hey, buddy, we know you hate it here

845
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: and you had more money over there, But if you

846
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: could come quarterback for us, because you're legally binding to

847
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 2: get in there and run the play, how is the

848
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: bench gonna be after that first interception? Yeah, even if

849
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: it's totally legitimate, great play by the corner, because I

850
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 2: know what I'm thinking when my quarterback, especially when you

851
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: go deep in. I'm not gonna go to the details

852
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 2: of what happened when it was released on his social media,

853
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 2: but y'all can take a look for that yourself and

854
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 2: figure it out. Back on top of it, then coming

855
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 2: back with all the shenanigans, you go out there and

856
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 2: throw two picks in the first game, third game, probably

857
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 2: not gonna be super comfortable.

858
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: It was funny when we were at the SEC Championship game,

859
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: or no, when we were at the Peach Bowl. You

860
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,479
Speaker 1: were down there with Jacob Pester, who's done the Roddy Jones.

861
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: You guys do Alyssa laying you're doing pregame on Sirius XM.

862
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: It's like two hours before kickoff.

863
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 2: So I walked up.

864
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Producer grabs me. I do a segment with you guys.

865
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: During the break before the segment, we're talking about this,

866
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: and Jacob Pester's standing there and he's like, what do

867
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: you think that Washington locker room is going to be like?

868
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: And so, you know, like our instinct both of you

869
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: played the game. I'm just sitting there having walked my

870
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: whole life, but all three of our instincts were the same,

871
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: and that was, oh man, it's gonna be It's gonna

872
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: be a disaster. But then he stops and he says,

873
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: but you know what, all I can really say is

874
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: it would have been a disaster.

875
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 2: All I can really say is how.

876
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: It would have been when I played, which is, yeah,

877
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: twenty or so years ago. He said, honestly, case by case,

878
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: locker room by locker room. I could see a world

879
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: where guys just kind of get it in today's college football. Now,

880
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to even pretend that that world exists.

881
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: So like I'm just I'm just choosing to think that

882
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be a really, really rocky situation as

883
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: it should be by the way, to try and win

884
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: guys back after you said goodbye to him, and the

885
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: only reason you're still there is because on your way

886
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: out the door was locked and you turn around and

887
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: you say, hey, so never mind, let's go run it back.

888
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: Question Mark, I don't really know.

889
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 2: I've known that there is a part of it where

890
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: if there's that big of a difference between one and

891
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: two and you you want to win games, I mean

892
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: you can take your brain to a full mercenary lifestyle

893
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 2: mindset and just say, bro, help us win. I don't

894
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: need to be around you, I don't need to talk

895
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 2: to you. We're not gonna hang out. Help us win games,

896
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 2: and let me know what I can do to assist

897
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 2: you in being best at doing that. That's possible. But

898
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: I think what you say is totally fairly a perfect example.

899
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 2: Jacob Hester then me, then the last thing we would

900
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: ever tweet is when one of our teammates quit on us.

901
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 2: Go get your bag, homie. Yeah, big things coming, good luck,

902
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 2: Gonna miss my guy. No, by the way, absolute opposite

903
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 2: mindset of that.

904
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: By the way, So let's I think you and I

905
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: have talked about this on the phone. I do not

906
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: ever think we've talked about this particular thing I'm about

907
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: to mention.

908
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 2: On the show.

909
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: You're aware, as am I of several instances just in

910
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: a previous portal cycle. Let's take this last one where

911
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: guy leaves your team. Several players on team tweet out

912
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 1: in support of said player and trash him behind his back,

913
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: and you're thinking to yourself, why the performance, like why

914
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 1: the cosmetics online? What is your best explanation for why?

915
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: When Cole Kublet leaves Peyton State, I trash him behind

916
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: the scenes, But me as a player, I hop on Instagram,

917
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: I hop on TikTok, I hop on Twitter and say

918
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: go get it man, Good for you, good for you.

919
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: I love that you're leaving me. Great job.

920
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 2: I don't need a theory, I don't need a hypothesis.

921
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: I can just give you what it is. When when

922
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,959
Speaker 2: someone specifically a younger individual, a younger human puts something

923
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 2: on Instagram. What's the goal of that? To get what

924
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 2: traction likes aam likes, to get retweets, to get positive comments.

925
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: It's plain and simple, Josh. It's the fear of not

926
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 2: being liked and the desire to be liked and positive reinforcement.

927
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: And there's a I hate being old man you on

928
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 2: at the clouds here. I'm not, but I hear this

929
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: mainly from coaches. I see some of it with my children.

930
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 2: We try to battle it on a daily basis, and

931
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: it's just wanting to be liked and wanting people to

932
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 2: say nice things about you. That's it. I've given you

933
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 2: the example before of last year. Player rolls up on

934
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 2: his red shirt and has played in a certain said

935
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: number of games, tells coach he's not going out there anymore.

936
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 2: Coach says, well, you've got your nil money, and that

937
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: was to play, not necessarily to practice, and that was

938
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 2: the disagreement. Player walks multiple players same thing as you stated.

939
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 2: I asked coach about how did why are these guys

940
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 2: coming out this next We had him on TV that

941
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: week and the coach said, the funny part about that

942
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 2: is four of those five were on our leadership council,

943
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 2: and we're in my office the next morning furious about

944
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 2: said player not wanting to help in games anymore and

945
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 2: going to go on about his day and not just

946
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 2: come practice collectors in il check and not be a

947
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 2: part of the team anymore. So it's a difficult battle

948
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: that these coaches deal with because it's a struggle, and

949
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 2: you have certain coaches like Mike when Pittman was at Arkansas,

950
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 2: he told us straight up, somebody comes asking me for that. Yeah, no,

951
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 2: thank you. Yeah. Shane Biemer has told us, not only

952
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 2: are you not coming to practice with us, there will

953
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: be a two hour window in the evenings when you're

954
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 2: allowed to use the facilities. You will not be here

955
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 2: when my team is here. I don't need you recruiting

956
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 2: other guys to leave and tell them where you're going

957
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: and how cool it is and what your agents saying.

958
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 2: So you're not allowed at this facility from this time

959
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 2: to this time. I am going to help you and

960
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: give you study hall and give you the weight room

961
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: and give you the indoor, but it's going to be

962
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: in the evening when we're all gone, and then you

963
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: have Lincoln Riley was very public about it. Lane was

964
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 2: public early on about it, and I think his changed

965
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 2: just a little bit over time. Now we need those

966
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 2: bodies in practice, and he's a very good player and

967
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: he can help our ones be better. So it's a

968
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: juggling act that's very difficult. That is just part of

969
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 2: the day to day management of this age of being

970
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: a college football coach.

971
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: Look at the calendar, National Championship game is well, depending

972
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 1: on when you're watching a day away, two days away,

973
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: it's coming up. I know a lot of you still

974
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: need tickets. And look, I've seen the screenshots. I've seen

975
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: how pricey this thing's going to be. There's no way

976
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: around it, all right. Unless you've got a very very

977
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: connected uncle down in South Florida, you're probably not getting

978
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: in this game for free. And I'm not here to

979
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: try and get you in for free. What I can

980
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: do is I can get you a discount on ticket prices,

981
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: but only if you go to seat Geek and then

982
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: fill up your little basket. Could be one ticket, could

983
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: be ten for all I know. And if you're the

984
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: kind of guy that's buying ten tickets to this game,

985
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: I want to know you. But nevertheless, once you get

986
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: to check out enter promo code PAT one hundred. That

987
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 1: is Pat E one zero zero And if you couldn't

988
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: already tell, that's going to get you one hundred dollars

989
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: off your order. Guys, this is a big time memory.

990
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're a Canes fan, Hoosiers fan,

991
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: big time memory. Enjoy it. Of course we'll see you

992
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: down there, all right. So when I was watching the

993
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: Peach Bowl, I thought to myself, I think I may

994
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: be watching the National Championship game. And I was telling

995
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: myself that pregame, I think the team that wins here

996
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: is going to win it all. Indiana emphatically wins. Then

997
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: I left Mercedes Benz Stadium and I was asking myself,

998
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: are you going to be able to talk yourself into Miami?

999
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: Are you going to be able to make enough of

1000
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: a case for him by the time you picked the game?

1001
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 1: Fast forward a week. I made enough of a case

1002
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: for Miami in my head that I ended up picking

1003
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: them to win the game. Part of it's because I

1004
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: was really vocal about what Miami looked like early in

1005
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: the year. People challenged me on it. I was right,

1006
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: they were wrong. I'm happy about it. I want to

1007
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: plant the flag at the very end. So part of

1008
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: it is just emotion talking. The other part is I

1009
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: think Indiana has been lethally efficient all year. I view

1010
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: them as having cruised at thirty nine thousand feet most

1011
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: of the back half of their schedule. I think Mendoza

1012
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: rightfully won the Heisman and now is playing higher caliber

1013
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: ball than he was in route to winning the Heisman.

1014
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: And if you let him get in any kind of

1015
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: rhythm like Oregon did, you're cooked, no matter if you

1016
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: turn the ball over or not. Eleven and fourteen on

1017
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: third down is pretty insane. Those are video game numbers.

1018
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: What I asked myself is, hey, do I think Miami's

1019
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: best is good enough to beat Indiana? My answer was yes,

1020
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: b I don't need them to do it for an

1021
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: entire season. Can I get them to fly at forty

1022
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: thousand feet minimum over a four quarter spam? And I

1023
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: convince myself with what they can do at the line

1024
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, how different they can make third down offensively

1025
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: look for Indiana, how much pressure they can get potentially

1026
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: and just make life a little more difficult to Mendoza.

1027
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: And also how good I saw Carson Beck execute against

1028
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State. If I can get that stuff just all

1029
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: in a rubber band ball and you're playing in your

1030
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: own backyard. I think that's good enough to push them

1031
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: over the finish line.

1032
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 2: So I picked them.

1033
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where you landed on this game yet,

1034
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: but either side, like, do you think close game? Do

1035
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: you think Indiana and a route? Do you think Miami

1036
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: pulls upset? Where you see this thing going?

1037
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 2: Part of me when you were sitting there explaining that,

1038
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 2: it's like you've just pulled out your little slip for

1039
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 2: the lottery, and you're like, if I can get the

1040
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 2: first number, I'll be if I get the second number,

1041
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: if I get the third number, the fourth number is

1042
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 2: the one that I really need to focus on. But

1043
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 2: if I get all five, if I can get seven

1044
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: direct numbers here, yeah.

1045
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: I just need I just need third once all pong ball.

1046
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: See it's downhill momentum after the third ball is downhill

1047
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: momentum and we're good. Just boom boom boom.

1048
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 2: Now we'll say Miami winning this game is not then

1049
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: winning the lottery. There is absolutely a path. Uh, there

1050
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: are some concerns that I have with even their path.

1051
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 2: Let's go back to Miami, Old miss you probably sat

1052
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 2: there at halftime like I did. And if you didn't

1053
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 2: have a score bug, or had not paid attention to

1054
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 2: the score board, or we're not watching what the score was,

1055
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: you'd gone said, I don't know. It was this thing

1056
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 2: thirty one to ten, thirty.

1057
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: Four five track door theory.

1058
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 2: It was a blowout. And what it did to me,

1059
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 2: it took my brain to a place that I never

1060
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 2: thought it would go in a game like that because

1061
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 2: you watch it and you have a full appreciation for

1062
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 2: what Miami is doing, essentially dominating the line of scrimmage.

1063
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 2: Now Pete had to be really active upfront, he had

1064
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 2: to move. It worked against Georgia. Now what happened with

1065
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 2: Georgia is they had a couple runs that went they

1066
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 2: never stuck with it, all of a sudden, go back

1067
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 2: to being a drop back team. Same thing with Ohio State.

1068
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 2: They had a couple of runs, it went went back

1069
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 2: to being a drop back team. This has happened four

1070
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 2: or five times just in this playoff, where certain offensive

1071
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 2: coordinators had found so Shannon Dawson against A and M

1072
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 2: I don't think there was a trick play left in

1073
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 2: the book in that game, and weren't necessarily needed at

1074
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 2: the time, but I think I know what he was

1075
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 2: thinking was that anything generic is not gonna go. We

1076
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 2: have to pull something out of our rear ends here

1077
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 2: if we're gonna make this happen. And then finally late

1078
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: in the game didn't have to because they shoved it

1079
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: down their throat. But I sat back thinking, is this

1080
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 2: style of ball going to be enough? Because you absolutely

1081
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 2: dominated Old Miss for a half and they're down four.

1082
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 2: Indiana more efficient than Old Miss, maybe not as high powered,

1083
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 2: high potent, maybe doesn't create as many explosives, but they

1084
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 2: are more efficient. And the problem that I would have

1085
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 2: with this is, what if you're Miami and you play

1086
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 2: three and a half quarters of perfect that style football,

1087
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 2: at least on offense and mostly on defense. What's the

1088
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: best case scenario your lead is at that point without

1089
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 2: any massive mistakes from Indiana because they don't make a

1090
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 2: lot of them. We were talking about like seventeen to ten,

1091
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 2: twenty one to fourteen, and you're gonna give the ball

1092
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 2: to Fernando Mendoza in that spot again. So that's the

1093
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 2: part that I'm very curious of because these other coordinators,

1094
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 2: it feels like, in these moments, have said not good enough,

1095
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 2: have to create, have to go get I don't think

1096
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 2: Shannon will necessarily do that, but I just wonder what

1097
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 2: the score is gonna be if you play a perfect

1098
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 2: game under that guideline. Now, if you can get Indiana

1099
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 2: some mistakes, I don't think you have to worry about it.

1100
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: You can play that game all night long and you'll

1101
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 2: be fine. You'll probably win by two touchdowns. The problem

1102
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: is they don't make mistakes. They're fishing on both sides

1103
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 2: of the ball. I can't go against this team. We

1104
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 2: are sitting on the field and I'm telling Roddy and

1105
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: those guys, I said, I'm thinking like thirty one ten,

1106
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: and I'm actually I might be underselling it. I said

1107
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 2: that to Macroy Friday morning. He's like, whoah, No, not

1108
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 2: like that, Not like that. I picked them the beat

1109
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game. I picked

1110
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 2: him the win this tournament when it all started. So

1111
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna fade confidence on him now just because

1112
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 2: another team that they're gonna see is gonna have a

1113
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 2: little bit of something that they may not have seen

1114
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: this year. And I will say this about Miami, this

1115
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 2: will this will be a different style punch that they're

1116
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 2: gonna have to take, and they've taken a lot of

1117
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 2: them and they've delivered them back. Miami's bringing like a

1118
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: Deontay Wilder right hand. It will be different than what

1119
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 2: they have felt from other teams because Iowa's run game.

1120
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 2: It can be north and south. It's a little more

1121
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 2: east and west with how they stretch things out. It's

1122
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 2: not as have to be right here. I'll say this,

1123
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 2: I think they're facing the best running back they've seen

1124
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 2: all year. Yeah, when you're talking about a hammer that

1125
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 2: can find little bit decreases and make you pay for

1126
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 2: that and then get extra yards after contact. And actually

1127
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 2: Charmar played great last week too, Like he was a hammer.

1128
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 2: He came in, they had double hammers. So this is

1129
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 2: gonna come down to mistakes, man, Like, that's it. The

1130
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 2: quarterback that makes the most mistakes, the defense that busts

1131
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 2: the most coverage, the team that puts the ball on

1132
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 2: the ground the most. Think about how dangerously Miami lived

1133
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 2: those first few games of this playoff, multiple fumbles that

1134
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 2: they did not lose one against A and M. When

1135
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 2: you're essentially going down to try and take the lead

1136
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 2: and then you end up getting the ball back again

1137
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 2: and then get another stop on defense like they have.

1138
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 2: I don't I trust Miami in crunch time. I just

1139
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 2: trust Indiana more. They are the most efficient team that

1140
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 2: I have watched in a long time. They are the

1141
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 2: most technically sound team that I've watched in a long time.

1142
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 2: They have the best understanding of what conceptually the play

1143
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 2: is asking for each and every time out. Maybe of

1144
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 2: any team that I've ever seen, the execution Josh is

1145
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 2: off the charts. I told you about one specific play

1146
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 2: that showed everything I needed to see about Indiana on defense,

1147
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 2: and it's early in the game. It's a run to

1148
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 2: the left. They have numbers to the left. There was

1149
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 2: a tight end to the left. They motion another tight

1150
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 2: end over eighteens, kind of like your will h back

1151
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 2: and it's literally five on three should be one hundred yards.

1152
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 2: So they run the inside zone to the left. The

1153
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: thing starts to collapse down inside. You're like, WHOA, this

1154
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 2: is gonna be big. You get a little bit of

1155
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 2: a good push on the tight end over there, trying

1156
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,919
Speaker 2: to set the edge. The play kind of cuts back.

1157
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 2: You get a twist inside, which if you were to

1158
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 2: ask for one thing right there, it's an offensive corner.

1159
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 2: You would say, man, if that front side defensive end

1160
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 2: would just slant inside, we would be off to the races. Well,

1161
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 2: he does. And then your nose guard who is reached,

1162
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 2: keeps fighting through, keeps fighting through. Oh no, the guards

1163
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 2: climbing up. I'll fight through him too. And then he

1164
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 2: kind of just barely on the back side of the

1165
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 2: running back pulls him down for a two yard game

1166
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 2: like that strain and awareness and understanding. I know it's

1167
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 2: one play, but those are the kind of things you

1168
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 2: see on almost every play that they just give you

1169
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 2: a little extra and have a little extra understanding of

1170
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 2: what's being asked. And I think they have just enough

1171
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 2: physicality to kind of match Miami. I don't think they're

1172
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 2: going to knock Miami out. But let's go back to

1173
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 2: our superhero theory that we just talked about him Innute Ago.

1174
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 2: Who's the superhero on this team for Indiana? Like, who

1175
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 2: is their superman, their batman? Mendoza? How many three hundred

1176
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 2: yard games did he had this year? Did he have

1177
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 2: any one?

1178
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: One?

1179
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 2: And he just blew out Oregon and he threw the

1180
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 2: ball seventeen times. They don't make him be a superhero

1181
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 2: he can be. He shows up at times, but they

1182
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 2: don't take the field and say tighten up that cape, buddy,

1183
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 2: because if you ain't ready, we ain't winning. That's not

1184
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 2: how they operate, and so therefore I think they are

1185
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 2: the better team. Don't have better players top to bottom

1186
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 2: by any stretch of the imagination. And I love Miami's team.

1187
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 2: I love how they operate. Love Malanoga, I love Mario,

1188
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 2: I love watching Ruben Bain play football. But I think

1189
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 2: I think Indiana is a better football team.

1190
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: You know what's funny, We'll wrap it up on this.

1191
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: Indiana made the playoffs last year. So like on the surface,

1192
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: if someone doesn't know anything about college football, they would

1193
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: look and say, like, why is everybody so surprised at

1194
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: how they're playing this year? They made the playoff last year, Okay,

1195
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: natural progression. They make the national title game this year.

1196
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: If I didn't know any better, I'd look at the

1197
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: sport that way. It's not that they made the playoff again,

1198
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: it's what you just talked about. It's the efficiency levels

1199
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: all spiking ten of ten that you just I don't know. Man,

1200
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: it's college football. It's competitive sport. You're not used to

1201
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: seeing that. So I still classify Indiana as a surprise

1202
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: team this year. That's on the plus side. I think

1203
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: that on the minu side, like if we were to

1204
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: go all the way back to August and I were

1205
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: to ask you what you think then and then what

1206
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: transpired now looking back? Like who were you way too

1207
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: high on? Who were you way too low on? Who

1208
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: surprised you? Disappoints you the most? Clemson and Penn State

1209
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: are like universals because most people had Clemson Penn State

1210
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: easily in their top ten, if not in their top five,

1211
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: And looking back, I know what went wrong now. I

1212
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: don't think there were many ways to just foresee that

1213
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: in August, so I don't even feel bad about that,

1214
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: Like I've got the Florida stinch on me. I chose

1215
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: to buy into Floor or I chose to buy into

1216
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: dj lagway that didn't turn out well for me. Are

1217
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 1: there teams or at least one of them you look

1218
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: at right now and say, either how did I whiff

1219
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: so badly on them? Or Wow, why was I way

1220
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: too high on them?

1221
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 2: Clemson's absolutely one. I picked them to win the national

1222
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: championship before the season started. LSU would be another. You

1223
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 2: have what is viewed as a generational quarterback with a

1224
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: plethora of weapons, and multiple individuals on defense that are

1225
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 2: provided a system that is going to allow them to

1226
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: attack on a very consistent basis. Like that recipe usually

1227
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 2: equals a lot of wins, and you got your head

1228
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 2: coach fired. There are a lot of people that were

1229
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 2: at fault for that. I think there are a lot

1230
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 2: of things that could have been altered with how they

1231
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 2: went into games and weren't. But it is what it is.

1232
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 2: It's done. I'll give you one. On the flip side

1233
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 2: of that, I did not expect Old miss to be

1234
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 2: as good as they were. I don't think they're falling

1235
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 2: off the face of the earth. But think about the

1236
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 2: draft picks that they lost. I mean, you had multiple

1237
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 2: players across a defensive line that was dominant. Okay, you

1238
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 2: had wide receivers that were gonna move on that were dominant,

1239
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 2: a tight end that helped you do a lot of

1240
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 2: different things. You had multiple players in different places, specifically

1241
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 2: quarterback that was one of the toughest individuals in all

1242
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 2: of college football. That helps you win a ton of games.

1243
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 2: I didn't think that thing would be replaced and if

1244
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 2: I did. I told you Austin Simmons probably through for

1245
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 2: five thousand yards, like they may have been at the

1246
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 2: end of the year better than they were the year

1247
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 2: before in different ways. And I think part of that

1248
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 2: is that superhero theory that we just talked about. They

1249
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 2: weren't as reliant on certain individuals to just go in games.

1250
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 2: And Lane told us before the season, he said, y'all

1251
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 2: keep asking me about these receivers, running backers, where we're

1252
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 2: going to be different. That kid we can lean on

1253
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 2: and he can give us explosive plays, and we haven't

1254
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 2: had that. So that was one that I look at

1255
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 2: and say, yeah, ahead of where I thought they were.

1256
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 2: Even Texas Tech with all the influx of talent, I

1257
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 2: always find it difficult to think that that's just gonna work.

1258
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, I usually don't believe that that's just

1259
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 2: going to work. So for Joey to get it where

1260
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 2: he did really impressive. Now, you know me, I told

1261
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 2: you going into the playoff a little bit of fool's

1262
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,439
Speaker 2: gold with that, Like, I don't really think that they're

1263
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 2: going to go on some crazy run because of what

1264
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 2: I've seen on film. Doesn't mean they didn't have an

1265
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 2: outstanding season and still way ahead of where I thought

1266
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 2: that they would realistically be.

1267
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Cube Show. Where do I find it? Let's just say,

1268
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who you are. I've never heard of

1269
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: you before. You made some sense today. Where can I

1270
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: get more YouTube?

1271
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 2: You can search Cube Show iTunes, wherever you get your podcasts.

1272
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 2: You can go search it there and find it and

01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 2: see more of what we talked about today. We break

01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 2: that play specifically down on the episode this week, and

1275

Speaker 2: can go watch that and see it for yourself.

1276
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: It's good stuff and I wouldn't say it. I mean,

1277
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm motivated not to say it, but unfortunately it is

1278
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: good stuff and I do love it no matter how

1279
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: much my name gets maligned by certain people on social

1280
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: The puppet especially was uncalled for.

1281
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 2: I'm just waiting for you to put it by your

1282
01:03:58,920 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 2: pig back there in the studio.

1283
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: My pig. That's Floyd. That's not a pig, that's Floyd

1284
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: of Rosedale.

1285
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 2: All right, Well, the Puppet of Nashville needs to make

1286
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 2: an appearance.

1287
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not the Foy Sportsmanship Trophy. That is Floyd

1288
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: of Rosedale back there. All right, let's finish this thing strong.
