1
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: You know in Jurassic Park, you know when they're in

2
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: the Ford ex floor. Heck of a job by Ford

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: getting the movie, by the way, and you just hear

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: the and then the lawyer says, maybe it's the power

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: trying to come back on. It could be or it

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: could be Wyoming TI with Texas midway through the fourth quarter.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: It could be South Alabama or South Florida, whichever South

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Alabama plays this. It could be an upset coming out

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: of nowhere. That's what it could be. These kinds of

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: weeks always make me a little uneasy. And I'm not

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: even coaching or playing in the games. But I'm a bystander,

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: and I haven't predicted any major upset. Florida over Tennessee's

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: not major. And yet here I sit with the rest

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: of you forty eight hours out. Unless you think Bathune

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Cookman has a shot against Miami. Tonight, it is Thursday night,

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: September fourteenth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty three. We're

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: jam packed hi atop a sun drenched downtown Nashville. Upset alerts, yeah,

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: I got them. Tonight. I've also got a real in

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: depth conversation that some say is long overdue. I don't

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: about which conference is actually the strongest in America right now.

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard, but there are there

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: have been two bits of breaking news around this office today.

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: I'm gonna share the other one with you in a

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: second and involves Director Colin. The first one is the

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: SEC is down for the count. That's the breaking news.

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: So we'll discuss do you believe this? We'll discuss. I'm

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Cole Kublick a little bit later in

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: the show. Hey, he's got Georgia tech Ole miss this weekend,

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: a triumphant return for KUBLIC to Oxford. I know you

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: guys have been waiting on that all that. Plus I've

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: got two new items to show you. Immunity. They're watching

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 1: us in San Diego, California, Molino, Florida. Where's Milino? Someone

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: in the chat? Where's Milino? Cedar Springs, Michigan, New Orleans, Louisiana.

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Fun fact. I'll be in New Orleans in about three hours.

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: I got some personal business to attend to down there,

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: and then we'll be off to Missouri this weekend for

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Kansas State Missouri the once upon a Saturday tour. So

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: before that happens, let me remind you, folks of something

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: most of you are already familiar, but if you're not,

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: you need to make sure you're following on Instagram at

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: late kick Josh because Friday Night Lines was on actual

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: fire last week. Like if you were watching on your phone,

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: you thought your battery was overheating, but it was really

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: just that we were handing out so many winners. So

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: the Ramnudle Express is chugging towards profitability. In fact, we're

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: sixty six percent so far this year and we're looking

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: to continue that. So anyway, I'm gonna give you another

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: best bet on the show tonight. But the final plays

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: we hand out. That's on Friday night, and it's late

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: most of the time, and I can guarantee you it'll

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: be late because I gotta fly to Saint Louis Friday

52
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: night and I'll get in a little bit late. So

53
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lines, it's live, it's only on Instagram at

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: late Kick Josh. That's the first order of business. The

55
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: second order of business is Director Colin Let's double clap

56
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: this thing as of the last hour in the Pates

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: State Store. Finally, finally, we have our first, hopefully of

58
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: many Paate State Strength and Conditioning t shirts that have dropped. Now, look,

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: this is open to interpretation, and if you're listening on podcasts,

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: just imagine a flexed fist holding a dumbbell. You think

61
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: to yourself, those are plates on the side of that dumbbell.

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I like to think of them as train wheels, not

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: training wheels, the actual wheels you would see on the

64
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: side of a freight car. Two each his and her own,

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: and also in the Pate State store. As of the

66
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: last hour, we've been paying attention to Dion Sanders, as

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: you could clearly see. Now, I'm not gonna have a

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: Colorado segment on the show tonight, but that doesn't mean

69
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: we don't have two brand spanking new shirts the day

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: we kept the receipts in the Peate State store. I

71
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: think they're glorious. I think they're beautiful. I'll probably buy

72
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: ten for family and friends as soon as I find

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: out if I have any in Colorado, so payatestatematerial dot com.

74
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Those are there right now. My advice buy them as

75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: quickly as you can. All right. The other bit of

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: breaking news as we dive in the show is I

77
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: found out moments ago director Colin once sold popcorn at

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Bristol Motor Speedway. And I don't know what to do

79
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: with the information. We don't have photographic evidence. But director Colin,

80
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: who is a real, living, breathing boy, once sold popcorn

81
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: at Bristol how about that? And once worked in Bristol,

82
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: just a different one. That's all you need to know

83
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: about him. Let's dive into the show tonight, all right.

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: So a debate is raging in college football circles about

85
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: conference strength. This normally is reserved for bowl season, but

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: now everyone's talking about it because the SEC seems like

87
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: it may have a flat tire or three, and that

88
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: means that conference supremacy is up for grabs. It's like

89
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 1: a ladder match and all of a sudden, everyone's reaching

90
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: for the belt. I think this is an impossible debate,

91
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: but so many of you have asked me, Hey, who

92
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: do you think is the number one conference in America?

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Right now that I'm going to wade into these treacherous,

94
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: treacherous waters right along with the rest of you. I

95
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: think it's impossible, only because I'm not so sure we

96
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: all value this thing. A lot of you look at

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: this and you say, how many teams out of your

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: conference could make the playoff, how many of them could

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: win a championship. A lot of the rest of you

100
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: just care about rankings or conference records. So here's the

101
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: first thing. Ultimately, in December, it's going to come down

102
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: to who has the most title contenders. And the way

103
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: I see it right now, and I'm free to adjust this,

104
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: as are you in your own mind, I think the

105
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: SEC's still got to be considered to have three of them.

106
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: I think Georgia and Alabama are certainly up there. I

107
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: think LSU is still up there because the thing about

108
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: it is you can't be knocking LSU out of contention,

109
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: but also telling me Florida State it's a bona fide

110
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: title contender when that's the team they lost to. Diddo

111
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: with Alabama they lost to Texas, no one's knocking Texas

112
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: they're a title contender, and so on and so forth.

113
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: In the Big Ten, Clearly they've got three of them

114
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: up there, or at least we think it's clear that

115
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: as of now, Ohio State and Michigan Penn State. So

116
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: by that prism, SEC Big Ten kind of similar. Now

117
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: here's here's my question to you. How would you view

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve right now, cause I can make two arguments.

119
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: I could make an argument there are like five teams

120
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: out there that are alive for championship slash playoff consideration.

121
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: Or you could come back at me and say, no,

122
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: they actually have one or none. You just haven't seen

123
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: all the carnage start to take place once conference play starts,

124
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: which either one of them could be true. We're so

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: early in the season one of many reasons, by the way,

126
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: that this is a totally irrelevant conversation. Naturally, I'm leading

127
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: the show with it. Big twelve is the same way,

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: like Kansas State hasn't lost a game. Should I consider

129
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: them a playoff contender? We're gonna see them in forty

130
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: eight hours? Should I consider them a playoff contender? Because

131
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: I consider Texas one and I've seen Texas in person.

132
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: I consider Oklahoma one. But if you shot back at me, well,

133
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: you only think that because of what the Vegas odds say.

134
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: Kinda yeah, I mean you are right about that. Oklahoma

135
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: has has not played a marque opponent yet, and so

136
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: the ACC that's tough because right now, as much as

137
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't believe in writing Clemson off, I've temporarily taken

138
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: my hand and I've just I've just pushed them to

139
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: the side, and I got Florida State alone in the

140
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: playoff contention bracket for the ACC. But I could be

141
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: wrong about that. Like I said, I reserve the right

142
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: to add teams and subtract teams at my leisure. But

143
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: here's the here's the reason I don't take part in

144
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: this conversation in bowl season. In bowl season, you know

145
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: how back in the day before people used phrases like

146
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: meaningless bowl game casualty. Before people did that, though, we

147
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: would have what did what did ESPN call it Capitol

148
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: one bowl Mania or whatever it was, where you just

149
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: compare conference records. The PAC twelve is six and one

150
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: in bowl season, the SEC is two and seven in

151
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: bowl season. And you know that was the most low

152
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: hanging fruit imaginable. But it was used around the Christmas

153
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: dinner table in the New Year's Eve whatever in the

154
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: world you gather around on January thirty first or December

155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: thirty first. It was used to tout conference supremacy. Well,

156
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: I never looked at it that way. I thought the

157
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: only way and I still think this way. I think

158
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the only way that you could measure true legitimate conference

159
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: supremacy is if you had some tournament wherein every conference

160
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: was seeded one through twelve, one through fourteen, one through sixteen.

161
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: However many of them you have find the number that

162
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: would fit them all. So fourteen, I guess every conference.

163
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Every conference has at least twelve, I think, or fourteen

164
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: right now. So take the top fourteen teams out of

165
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: every conference seedom one through fourteen, and then if I'm

166
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: going to watch an ACC versus PAC twelve game, I

167
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: want to see number four versus number four. So far

168
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: this year, what's happened? And this is going to sound

169
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: like sour grapes. Half of you already think I'm an

170
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: SEC home er anyway, so I don't care at this point.

171
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: That's fine. We all know where I grew up. That's fine.

172
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Secs three and six right now in out of conference matchups,

173
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: which most people would tell you means the SEC is down.

174
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: And I don't disagree that the SEC is down. What

175
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't tell me is how they measure up shot

176
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: for shot against any other conference. Because what we saw,

177
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: in case you hadn't been paying attention is fsulsu. Okay,

178
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: that was the ACC's number one against the SEC's call

179
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: it a three. I think that's safe to say North

180
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: Carolina beat South Carolina. Okay, that was supposed to tell

181
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: me something about ACC SEC. What it told me is

182
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: the number three team in the ACC beat the number

183
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: ten team in the SEC, as they should. I'm not

184
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: downing the accomplishment. I'm just saying that tells me nothing

185
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: about the conference against the conference. Florida, by most discernible metrics,

186
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: was the eleventh or twelfth team preseason in the SEC Utah,

187
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: even without Cam Rising, who is in the production suite

188
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: as we speak, Even without came Rising five in the

189
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. It doesn't tell me what you think. It

190
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: tells me. This is not the flex you think it is.

191
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: To quote the famous meme of me that's floating around,

192
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: I think the most powerful arguments against the SEC right

193
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: now are that A and M Miami game and the

194
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Texas Spama game. Those mean something to me, at least

195
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: it means something team versus team to me. Now, there

196
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: may be a steep drop off once you get to

197
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: the middle tiers of those respective conferences versus the SEC,

198
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: But the rest of this stuff is just it's just

199
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: matchup stuff. It just tells me North Carolina is better

200
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: than South Carolina. It tells me, at least to start

201
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: the season, FSU is better than LSU by a wide

202
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: margin in the second half. As it turns out, don't

203
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: really tell me much about the ACC so conference record.

204
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: I don't care about head to head I don't care

205
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: about it. I never care about it in bowl season,

206
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: so I especially don't care about it in the regular season.

207
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: And anyone who's watched me for a long time, thank you.

208
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

209
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: Anyone who's watched me for a long time knows that

210
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: I've used this against the CC for years. Even if

211
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: the SEC were to tout this stuff, I would remind

212
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: SEC fans I would say, well, was it evenly seeded? No,

213
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: it wasn't, So therefore I don't care. I don't care

214
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: if Alabama goes and beats Duke. I really don't. It

215
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: didn't tell me anything tells me Alabama's better than Duke.

216
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: I'd love to see that matchup at the moment, but

217
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't really care about anything past that. Rankings I

218
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: also don't care about so right now, the AP is

219
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: just littered with PAC twelve teams, which I got no

220
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: problem with. The JP pole has how many Jesse We

221
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: got six pack twelve teams in our top twenty five,

222
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree with that. In theory, here's the difference.

223
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: You want to know the difference between rankings and power ratings.

224
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Here's the difference. Follow me here on this little mental exercise.

225
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: So the AP has UCLA at number twenty four, right now,

226
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: I got no issue with that. I got UCLA a

227
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: little bit higher, but I've got no issue with that.

228
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: So for argument's sake, let's just say the AP is

229
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: dead on the money. It's right about every team. It's not, obviously,

230
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: But for argument's sake, let's say that is that is

231
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: the gospel. All these words are written in read take

232
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: it to the bank. If that were the case, that

233
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: would mean UCLA has seven PAC twelve teams ahead of

234
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: them in the top twenty five. Southern cal Colorado, Oregon,

235
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Oregon State, Utah's up there, Washington's up there, Washington State

236
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: is ahead of UCLA. So all those teams are ranked

237
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: ahead of UCLA. Right Let's say UCLA played every one

238
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: of them in conference play, just as a mental exercise,

239
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: and they lost to every one of them. Would you

240
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: keep UCLA twenty fourth if they lost in direct proportion

241
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: to how much higher ranked their opposing team is than them.

242
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: So Southern Cow beats them by two touchdowns, Washington State

243
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: beats them by one point. In other words, the AP

244
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: pole plays out on the field exactly as it says

245
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: it should. What would you do with the UCLA? The

246
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: JP pole wouldn't bump them down a single spot. I'd

247
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: keep them number twenty four because what I would see

248
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: is validation that my power ratings are right. But in

249
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: rankings Land, you can't have a five and seventeen ranked

250
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: inside the top twenty five. Absolutely not, no, no, no,

251
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: So that's dumb to me. That's why I never believed

252
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: in ranking teams, because the merit or the punishment just

253
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: because you win or just because you lose has never

254
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: made sense. This is not pro sports, this is college sports.

255
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: And also that's why I do power ratings. So the

256
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: best I can tell right now, and I really hate

257
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: to do this because I know a lot of folks

258
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: really really dialed up and ready to bash the SEC

259
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: like a pinata. The SEC is still the best conference

260
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: in college football. That's one truth. The other truth is

261
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: I do think it's down. I do think it's much

262
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: closer to the pack than in most years. But here's

263
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: the separator. If you hold them to a different standard

264
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: in your mind, and most of you know you do.

265
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: But even if you don't know that, in that subconscious

266
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: of yours, you do. You hold the SEC to a

267
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: different standard. You look at them and you criticize them

268
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: for things you would totally shut your mouth about if

269
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: you saw the ACC do it to the Big twelve.

270
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: Do it because you don't expect as much from them.

271
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: But if we're doing an apples to apples heads up

272
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: scenario right here, you can't do that. You gotta hold

273
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: everyone to the same standard. So right now we got

274
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at my power ratings. You can think

275
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: what you want to about them. I got three SEC

276
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: teams in my top ten. I got three Big ten

277
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: teams in my top ten, but when I get to

278
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: that second tier there's a pretty sizable drop off. I

279
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of Big ten elsewhere. In the

280
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: top twenty five. I got some SEC. I got six

281
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: Pack twelve teams, but my highest PAC twelve team is seventh.

282
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: I got four from the Big twelve. I got four

283
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: from the ACC, and so as much as you want

284
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: to not the SEC's depth, the SEC's depth shouldn't be knocked.

285
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: It's just that when that depth gets tested against the

286
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: ACC's number three team or the PAC twelves number four team, yeah,

287
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: it's going to get exposed a little bit because the

288
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: SEC is not as good this year as they are

289
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: in most years. But here's the thing. There was a

290
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: wide swath, there was a big gap, a chasm, if

291
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: you will, between where the SEC had been and wherever

292
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: the next best conference was, and the only contender really

293
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: was the Big Ten in years past. And look, it

294
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: may still shake out that way this year. I love

295
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: what the PAC twelve's done. I think the PAC twelve

296
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: could end up reasonably being the second best conference top

297
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: to bottom in college football this year. They're not going

298
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: to be better than the SEC. No one will be

299
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: better than the SEC this year. No one will be

300
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: better than the SEC for the foreseeable future. I know

301
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: that's unpopular, it also happens to be truth. Even in

302
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: a down year for the SEC, the quality in the

303
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: conference top to bottom is better than the top to

304
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: bottom quality in any other conference. I'm sorry, but that's

305
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: the way it is. We're going to see last year's

306
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: Big Twelve champion this Saturday, though, the once Upon a

307
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: Saturday tour is headed to Columbia, Missouri, first time ever

308
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: in Colombia for us to see a football game sold out,

309
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: first times. It's twenty nineteen there, and so yeah, eleven

310
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: am local kick Saturday. You know how much I love those.

311
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: It's not Big noonkickoff because Fox doesn't have the game.

312
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: I think I think it's SCC network. I think friend

313
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: of the Program Alyssa Lang will be up there on

314
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: the sideline with us. So we look forward to that,

315
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: and I also look forward for about two more days

316
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: to having that once Upon a Saturday stop in Columbia

317
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: T shirt in the Pate State Store. Paytstatematerial dot com.

318
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: Just a fair warning, we've never been to Missouri before.

319
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know when we'll be there again. That shirt's

320
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: going to be there two more days and then it's gone.

321
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: So if you want to commemorate that trip to for

322
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: ro Field. And I got to check on the pronunciation

323
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: because I never get those words that end in te right,

324
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: that's where it is. Peytstatematerial dot com. Speaking of just

325
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: games all over the place this weekend. The upset meter,

326
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: to me, peaks the hardest in weekends like this, weekends

327
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: where your casual cousin, for example, we'll call him Carl

328
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: not read, tells you, oh, this is a sleeper of

329
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: a weekend. Oh, just fast forward to week four and

330
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: believe me, week four is loaded. We got some decisions

331
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: to make with the once upon a Saturday tour next week.

332
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about weekends like this, they always

333
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: are tough to see because you're in like a fog,

334
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you come out of

335
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: the fog and it turns out, oh, there's a mushroom cloud.

336
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: Where'd that come from? Oh a great big bomb, and

337
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: college football just went off. We got carnage everywhere. It's

338
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: chaos left and right. I never would have seen it coming. Well,

339
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing about it. We try and see it,

340
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: We try and see it around the corner, but it's difficult.

341
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: Like Penn State plays Illinois this weekend. The line on

342
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: the game's fourteen and a half's drew Awler's first real

343
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: road test as the starting quarterback at Penn State. It's

344
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: an eleven am local kick Illinois totally off everyone's radar calls.

345
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: They lost to Kansas last Friday night, meaning they got

346
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: a little extra rest for this. Of course they're in

347
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: wounded animal mode. One of the most important metrics on

348
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: this show. Penn State. According to my research from producer Jesse,

349
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: they did let that West Virginia quarterback run on him

350
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, and Luke Altmeyer can do the same

351
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: for Illinois. So what'd this thing go to? About nineteen

352
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: overtimes the last time they played? What a memory? I mean,

353
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: what a memory they didn't play last year? So Penn

354
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: State at Illinois. I think the upset meter a six

355
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: on a one to ten scale. So, in other words,

356
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: keep your eye on it next up. This is just disgusting.

357
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: I can smell this off the piece of paper. South

358
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: Alabama is only a seven and a half point underdog

359
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State. So that's with home field baked in.

360
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: South Alabama a seven and a half point dog. It's

361
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: been bet down from nine. I looked at the model.

362
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: The model slightly leans Oklahoma State, and I said, no,

363
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: thank you. We bet Oklahoma State last week.

364
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 2: We won.

365
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: We are not on the Cowboys this week. Do you

366
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: know they've played three quarterbacks this year, like Oklahoma State

367
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: has three quarterbacks who have thrown fifteen or more passes.

368
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: It's week three. That's wild, that's actually pretty crazy. They

369
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: got to figure it out. Do you want to be

370
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: figuring it out against South Alabama? I know most of

371
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: you think that South Alabama is a nothing program, and

372
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: they got a clip art mascot logo. This is a

373
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: good team. It's a very good team, and that coaching

374
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: staff is going to be getting attention on a broad

375
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: scale from a lot of more major programs. I say

376
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: the same thing about the Troy coaching staff. I got

377
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: some really good coaching staffs in Alabama at the G

378
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: five level. Trent dilfer' is the head coach at UAB,

379
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: so there's all kind of entertaining things happening down there.

380
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this upset alert at like an eight.

381
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: I'm very nervous about it. And this is half of

382
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: my Big twelve Championship game prediction Oklahoma State. It's not

383
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: a conference game, but if they drop it to the

384
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: Jags of South Alabama, it would not go very far

385
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: and giving me comfort as they inter conference play next up.

386
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: This to me is one that is far enough off

387
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: the radar to where I'm just putting the bright blinking

388
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: red light emojis all over it. Washington is laying seventeen

389
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 1: on the road at Michigan State. What's Michigan State been

390
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: in the news for this week? Their head coach is

391
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: suspended pending a sexual harassment investigation. No one's talking about football,

392
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: and also everyone's just of the opinion the team's terrible quarterback,

393
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: best wide receiver transferred out. They're bad. No one's paying

394
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: attention to Noah Kem. No one even knows what he's

395
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: been doing at the quarterback position. No one knows that

396
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: Michigan State is plus seventy four in point differential so

397
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: far through two games. That's their best mark since nineteen

398
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: thirty one. And hoops to moongst us could forget that

399
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: thirty one Spartan squad. I got to hit my buddy

400
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: Jim Don enough and ask him if he was on

401
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: that team. So I'm looking at this and Washington's sitting

402
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: there in the top ten, and they're going across the

403
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: country and they're seventeen, and I am nervous because sometimes

404
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: it's called the ewing effect. Producer Jesse was talking to

405
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: me about it today. A lot of times, when you

406
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: lose star players and you know about it all week,

407
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen on a Friday. There's this galvanization that

408
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: happens in the locker room and a bunch of folks

409
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: play at one hundred and five percent and collectively that

410
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: more than makes up for the loss. Well, when you

411
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: lose a head coach, that not only happens with your

412
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: player roster, sometimes it happens with your coaching staff too.

413
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: And that's not even to mention there could just be

414
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: some folks up there that didn't like mel Tucker. Now

415
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm speaking purely hypothetically here. I don't know any of

416
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: that to be true. But sometimes there just happens to

417
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: be resentment for whoever is out or got suspended in

418
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: the locker room, and there's an added motivation to play

419
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: at your best because you want to show everyone without

420
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: this person, we're better. Oh and by the way, you

421
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: want to defend home field in any scenario. So I'm

422
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: nervous about that. When that's like a seven and a half,

423
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: maybe even seven and three quarter on the upset alert scale,

424
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: Colorado State goes to Colorado. Yeah, that's happening. So now

425
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: what we have is we've got Colorado in a potential

426
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: let down and look ahead spot. They go to Oregon

427
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: next week, and you would think this is going to

428
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: be a sleepy little game that only people in Colorado

429
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: cared about, and then all of a sudden this happened.

430
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: Are tired of it. And I sat down with the

431
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 3: ESPNN today and I don't care if they hear it

432
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 3: in Boulder.

433
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: I told them I took my hat off, and I

434
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 2: took my glasses off, and I said, when I talked

435
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 2: to growing ups, I take my hat and my glasses off.

436
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 2: That's what my mother talked. So you know they're not

437
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: gonna like us no matter what we say or do.

438
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

439
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go up there and play once again.

440
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: Why would you want to talk about us? We don't

441
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 3: talk about no batter. All we do is go out here,

442
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: workout but self and do I jab won't say. But

443
00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: when they give us ammunition, it was just gonna be

444
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 3: a good game. THEYMN mess round and made it. It's

445
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: gonna be a great tests the Battle of Colorado.

446
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: But they'll mess round and made it. Guys, they messed

447
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: around and they done made it personal. What you just heard,

448
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcasts, was Colorado State head coach

449
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: Jay Norvell breaking news. Jay Norvella is the head coach

450
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: of Colorado State, and you heard Deon Sanders wearing a

451
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: hat and wearing shades while talking to us. You know,

452
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: I think this stuff is stupid. However, I also think

453
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: it's thoroughly entertaining, and so I will wade into those

454
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: waters as well if anyone gives me an opportunity to.

455
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: College game Day is at Boulder this week at Boulder

456
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: in Boulder, and I saw ticket prices for this game.

457
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: The line's in the twenty three and a half range.

458
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: It's insane. What's happening out there, utterly insane. Now we're

459
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: talking about upset potential here. Colorado State somehow's coming off

460
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: of bye again. I say somehow because it's only week three.

461
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: And secondly, yes, it's been a double dose of really

462
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: high emotion, high leverage situations for Colorado. Weeks one and two.

463
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: They beat TCU, they beat Nebraska, they got Oregon and

464
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: Southern col on deck. So in normal world college football,

465
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: this would be a letdown, look ahead trap, whatever you

466
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: want to call it spot, sandwich spot. Nothing about Colorado's normal,

467
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're thinking like a typical championship

468
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: contender team is thinking. I still think they view all

469
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: these games as equal because they weren't expected to do anything.

470
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: It's different, like they look at this thing and it's

471
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: just the next challenge. What I'm trying to say is

472
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they get let down. I don't think

473
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: they suffer to this point from the same potential pitfalls

474
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: that other teams do. I just think they're wired a

475
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: little different this year's version. That's not to say in

476
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: the future they won't revert back to the kind of

477
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: semi normal form of college football. I think they're gonna

478
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: run it up on Colorado State. That's what I think.

479
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: So I've got this like a two. I don't think

480
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: there's much of a threat of an upset here. I'm

481
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: the same person who laid twenty with TCU in Week

482
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: one and had them victimize me. So I wouldn't be

483
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: taking my opinion on Colorado games to the bank just yet.

484
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: There's money to be made elsewhere. But conference play is

485
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: on deck. Conference play beckons two conference games right here.

486
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: LSU is laying nine and a half at Mississippi State. Obviously,

487
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: I think the upset alert meter is very high on

488
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: this one because we took Mississippi State and the points.

489
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: It's a ram Noodle Express best bet for us. It's

490
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: pretty simple for me. I got Mississippi State power rated

491
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: in my top twenty five, so I'm not gonna watch

492
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: them in good conscious be laying nine and a half

493
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: at home and not jump on it. And I also

494
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: watched the Arizona game last week and they were horrific, which,

495
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: as you know, the theory on this show is, if

496
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: you're bad, I don't expect you to try and replicate

497
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: whatever your ill fated game plan was. I expect you

498
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: to go another direction. But if they do attempt to

499
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: go the same direction, Mississippi State can run the ball

500
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: on LSU, at least if statistical profiles hold up from

501
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: so far this year. Now. While Mississippi State may be

502
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: elderly or as you might call them, experienced defensively, it's

503
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: not the fastest defense in the world to LSU's gonna

504
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: have plays they can make too, probably a little bit

505
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: higher scoring game than the total indicates. I'm not taking

506
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: the over. I'm just saying that's my feel on it.

507
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 1: I've already got a side on this one. I am

508
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: taking Mississippi State plus the points. I didn't pick the

509
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: outright upset, but obviously, if I think it's going to

510
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: be in the single digits, I think there's a shot

511
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: at it. And also that South Carolina at Georgia game,

512
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: this game's already broken down on the channel. We've already

513
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: got an individual video on it. It's all about pressure.

514
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: Talked about it with Spencer Rattler. It's all about George's

515
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to either explode or be exposed. Either could happen here,

516
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: and if you're exposed, it doesn't have to be a loss.

517
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: Like I don't think the upset potential is particularly high.

518
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: It's a four touchdown spread, so I don't think the

519
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: upset potential is particularly high. But the thing about it is,

520
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: if you beat South Carolina twenty six to twenty, there're

521
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: probably still a lot of things that Kirby Smart's having

522
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: to talk about in that postgame press conference that don't

523
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: feel real well and don't make you have the warm

524
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: fuzzies in your belly. And then you know you're saying

525
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: to yourself, man if Texas would have come in here,

526
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: they would have beaten US, just like they beat Alabama.

527
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: Only things saving US is a softer schedule right now,

528
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: or George's up thirty to three at the half, and

529
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: that pass rush gets to Spencer Rattler and those wide

530
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: receivers do break out and block really well on the perimeter,

531
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: and Carson Beck has himself an afternoon and that crowd

532
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: does what Kirby Smart's asked him to do. Literally, either

533
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: one can happen and would not surprise me. So my

534
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: upset meters not especially off the charts on this one.

535
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: It bears watching to me, even in a win, for

536
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: what Georgia could look like, many different versions of Georgia

537
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: we could see. Also, I think Florida's just gonna beat

538
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: ten at Tennessee. I picked Florida outright to beat them.

539
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: So that's the upset I'm on this weekend. I spoke

540
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: my piece on this the other night. I just think

541
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: Tennessee's going to probably be seen by America, most of

542
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: America for the first time, and you're gonna expect Tennessee

543
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: to be throwing the ball all over the place, and

544
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: that is not their offense. It is not They've got

545
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: two pass plays of over twenty yards. So far this year,

546
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: they have more rushing yards than passing yards. Some of

547
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: that's cause they've been playing in blowout games. I will

548
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: grant you that. I'm telling you, even in a tight,

549
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: one possession game, I think that's their offensive profile, that's

550
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: their offensive identity right now. The difference is Tennessee can

551
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: get after you a whole lot more defensively themselves. And

552
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: so I'm the one who stood on the sideline in

553
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City and watched Florida struggle to even get

554
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: past the line of scrimmage on the ground. Are they

555
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: really going to be able to put up one twenty five,

556
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: one thirty, much less one seventy eight on the ground

557
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: against Tennessee? And if they can't, is Graham MERT's about

558
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: to win me a ball game through the air somehow?

559
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: I think it's going to happen. So that's at upset

560
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: meters all the way at a nine, nine and a

561
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: half for me. Upset, sir. They're good for the soul

562
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: unless you're pulling for the favorite. There should be not

563
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: a single not a single teary I nobody upset at

564
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 1: this news in Brenham Texas, which is in the Houston area.

607
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm on Central Michigan plus thirty one and a half.

608
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: They are, by the way, playing Notre Dame. I am

609
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: on Mississippi State plus nine at home against LSU. We

610
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: are on Arizona minus seventeen and a half. Believe they're

611
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: playing UTEP out in Tucson. I'm on UL Monroe plus

612
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: thirty six and a half and they're on the road

613
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: at Texas A And m all right, Colin, what do

614
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: we add in tonight, paper Pop? Why not? Let's just

615
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: go with the Western Mission Michigan Broncos. And for the record,

616
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: we love all the directional Michigan schools this weekend. So

617
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lines could could really be hanging out in

618
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: the state of Michigan tomorrow night. So Western Michigan, U

619
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: EL Monroe, Arizona, Mississippi State, Central Michigan, Georgia Tech. Remember

620
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lines Tomorrow night for plenty more And there

621
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: you have it. And then we have a dude, I'm

622
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: always willing to bet on Cole kublick back, it's week

623
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: what three? Now you persevering you weather in the storm fairly?

624
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's going okay. Last week was a little rough.

625
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: We had overtime in Starkville, and I thought to myself, Okay, cool,

626
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: I missed the Bama Texas traffic, but about ten miles

627
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: outside of Hoover, I hit the Bama Texas traffic. So

628
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: we were dead stand still there again. Had a couple

629
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: delays on Sunday, so we're a little behind on sleep,

630
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: but other than that we're good. Yeah's been fun years

631
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: so far.

632
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Basically waved at you in that Bama Texas traffic. All right,

633
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: So Texas is to some degree back Southern calender, Lincoln Riley,

634
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: they're a contender. We saw what FSU did with Norvel,

635
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: So you and I were on the phone the other day.

636
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: We were kind of talking about this because everybody's got

637
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: to take on NIL, everyone's got to take on the

638
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: portal and what it's done to college football. So there's

639
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: this overwhelming thought out there that that's open college football up,

640
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's true. I don't know that it's

641
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: true the way people describe it, like people describe it

642
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: as if Minnesota at any given second could just randomly

643
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: appear in the playoff picture. And I don't think that's

644
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: what Nil in the portal has done. What I think,

645
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: and you can give me every thought you have on

646
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: this is Yeah, it may have shaved like the top

647
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: of the trees, so it may have shaved ten percent

648
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: off of elite rosters any given year, but that ten

649
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: percent just going to other historically elite programs. So it's

650
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: not South Florida coming to the table, it's FSU, it's

651
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: not San Diego State coming to the table, it's USC

652
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: And so the folks who who want parody, you're gonna

653
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: get it. But it really just circles back to the

654
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: same teams that have been historically good, and then you

655
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: got the Texas or the FSUs and the USC's that

656
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: always should have been good but couldn't get out of

657
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: their own way the process back to the main table

658
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: that's now kind of been expedited like that. That's all

659
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: I see? Can you is there's something I'm missing here?

660
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: Is there something the portaland NIL is doing that's truly

661
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: revolutionizing the sport and putting new seats at the table,

662
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: or is it just seats that always once were there,

663
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: that they're pretty much there again, I think a.

664
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: Lot of what you described I would agree with and

665
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: say that it's accurate. I think there's another big portion

666
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 2: of this where when people see Texas beat Alabama, when

667
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: people see maybe Georgia not being what they were last

668
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: year the year before, or other teams that we viewed

669
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 2: as national championship contenders or teams that were super talented

670
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 2: either lose or even have games that were too competitive

671
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: for their fans liking what is happening. Also, in my opinion, Josh,

672
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: is that it's not a allowing the Ohio State, Alabama,

673
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 2: Clemson's to be that much further ahead of everybody else.

674
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: So the two lap lead that the premier schools once had,

675
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: I feel like that's been shaved down greatly, and that

676
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: distribution of wealth, as you said, I think the majority

677
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: of it is going to other schools that at one

678
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: point in time have been relevant or been a school

679
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 2: that we would consider to be a power. And then

680
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: you have teams that, yeah, they can make a little

681
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 2: bit of a jump. The other thing I've noticed a

682
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 2: couple things in college football this year, and I think

683
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: the portal plays into this. The continuity of college football

684
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: teams is nowhere near where it needs to be.

685
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's interest physical, that's interesting. Okay, So I would

686
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: never interrupt you except this one time, cause that kind

687
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: of bleeds in. I want you to basically merge these

688
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: two things. So the continuity thing, there a lot of

689
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: folks thought nil and transferportal would fracture locker room. So

690
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: you can tell me what you mean by continuity. But

691
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: also there's this other thing you and I were talking

692
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: about the other day. I want you to expound on

693
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: just the overall max effort that you would have seen

694
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: twenty years ago and to what degree we're still seeing

695
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: that go on that I think those.

696
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: Are a couple of the things that all go together.

697
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: So continuity, whether it's offensive lines being able to play together,

698
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 2: trade off a twist, being able to pick up a pressure,

699
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 2: understanding protections. It's why we have a slide protection epidemic

700
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: in this country right now. And you can call it

701
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: slap or slide protection, you can call it gap protection,

702
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: you can tell it jet protection, quick protection, whatever it is.

703
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: But when you see an offensive line all in sync,

704
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 2: just move one way and then stop, that's quick protection.

705
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: There are way too many teams that are overly reliant

706
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 2: on that in college football right now, and it's getting

707
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 2: people beat. Texas A and M had a big problem

708
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: with it. Alabama's got a problem with it. There are

709
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: a lot of teams that are just overly reliant. They

710
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: don't want to let their guys block people up. And

711
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: I think that goes to the physical portion and the

712
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: continuity portion of not understanding how pressures are going to

713
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: hit you, not understanding man protection if you will, as in,

714
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: if my man doesn't come, where do I go? What

715
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: do I do? In slide protection, what happens is guys

716
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 2: are taking their one step to the left and they're

717
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 2: just sitting there. There's no playing with your eyes anymore.

718
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 2: There's no understanding of I don't have to go as far.

719
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: I can stay here and help this guy and then

720
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: maybe peek out to the side. Somebody comes off the corner.

721
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: I can leave late and go pick him up. My

722
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: quarterbacks still has time. I think that's reps playing football together,

723
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 2: as being in the same mocker room, being in the

724
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: same film room. It's practice time together that's all been limited,

725
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: so it's gone away. Then there's the physical portion of it.

726
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 2: The physicality is very different right now, and this could

727
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: pick up across the course of the year. I think

728
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: back to I can't remember what year Trace Smiths last

729
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 2: year at Tennessee was twenty eighteen, maybe twenty seventeen, nineteen,

730
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 2: whatever it was, but Trace Smith struggled early in the year.

731
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: And Trace SMIs one of my all time favorite college

732
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: football players. And he had the blood clot situation and

733
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 2: he was on medication, but he couldn't practice when he

734
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: was on medication, so he'd come off and then he'd play,

735
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: and like week seven eight, we get Tennessee again, totally

736
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: a different player. He looked like the dominant guy that

737
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: he was two years prior, and we had him and

738
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: I just asked him, I said, were you essentially using

739
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: games as practice? He said, I had to. I couldn't

740
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: go out there and hit on Monday through Friday. So

741
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: when I got into a game, that was my time

742
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 2: to reacclimate myself. That was my practice time, so to speak.

743
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: And when I say practice time in games, I don't

744
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: mean that people are taking teams lightly or they're pretending

745
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: like they're playing. It's not that. It's just that, like

746
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: McElroy and I were talking about this the other day,

747
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 2: and he actually stopped me on it, and is his point.

748
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 2: So I'll give him credit for he doesn't steal ideas

749
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: like you do, I'll say, or I guess I don't

750
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: steal ideas like you do. But he was like, cal,

751
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: I can't believe as a guy that loves line play,

752
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: you're kind of missing this. He said, these kids aren't

753
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 2: ready for the season right now. That's why this is

754
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 2: where we are. And you combine that with all the

755
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 2: things you were just talking about, he said, think about

756
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 2: five years ago, eight years ago, ten years ago, fifteen

757
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: years ago. He said, through two weeks of games, we

758
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: still had when we played him, not as far along

759
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: and go as I was, I a lot longer ago

760
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 2: than he did. We still had more plays, not game plays,

761
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: not practice plays, but combined in full paths where we

762
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: hit each other than these teams right now probably already

763
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: do through two games. So we were just more physically

764
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 2: acclimated to go play. Now, going back to the continuity

765
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: and the physicality, I think there's a comfort level that

766
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: some teams just have. Think about Texas. All five of

767
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 2: those offensive linemen played together last year. Quinn your has

768
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: been throwing seven on seven in practice and in the

769
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: summer out there in shirts and shorts and messing around

770
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 2: with his guys in the locker room like they've been

771
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: He's been around those guys for almost three years now.

772
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: They know each other extremely well. That nonverbal communication is there,

773
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: they don't have to worry about it, and then I

774
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: think the max effort part also comes with comfort and

775
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: understanding and guys who have been around it. Now. There

776
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: are very few teams that I see on film, Josh,

777
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 2: that are just pardon my friends, playing their asses off.

778
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: There's just not many of them. Go watch the Miami

779
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: film against Texas A and M Yeah, there was a

780
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: lot of scheme involved in that. Those guys played like

781
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: their hair was on fire, Like they literally played like

782
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 2: their families' lives were on the line. I haven't seen

783
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 2: a lot of teams play that way this year. It's

784
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: one of the reasons I was so complimentary of Arizona

785
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 2: in that Missippi State game. Their defense plays a similar fashion,

786
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 2: like they almost look like they're playing to knock you

787
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 2: out of the game. And it's not dirty at all.

788
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: It's blatantly obvious that Chuck secils a member that defensive

789
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 2: staff because they play like he is. So I just

790
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: think that it's taken away a little. I don't some

791
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 2: people would say, buy in investment. Are they truly invested?

792
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: Are they at that place for the right reasons? Whatever?

793
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: All that. It could be a little bit of all

794
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: of it. But there's not a lot of teams playing

795
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour right now. And it will

796
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: be very different when you and I are sitting here

797
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: five six weeks from now, because some teams are going

798
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: to grow into that and some teams are going to

799
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: gain that continuity, and it's all gonna make sense, and

800
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: that's going to add to what they can do and

801
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 2: what they can prevent other people doing when they're played

802
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: against them.

803
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: Here's what's wild now. People in some cases have watched

804
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: the sport for a long time, some of them have

805
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: even played it, and I got them sitting here on

806
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: camera or on radio or pod or the internet saying

807
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: in definitive terms, this team can't do this, that team

808
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: can't do that. And in some case they're talking about

809
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: really skilled rosters that like you're talking about, probably just

810
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: haven't jailed yet. Memhi, I used to make jello all

811
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: the time. There's a reason she wouldn't let me open

812
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: the fridge five minutes after she put it in there.

813
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: Difference is that fridge time used to be fall camp,

814
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: and now it's like week one, two three. It happens

815
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: every year, though even more to a degree now than

816
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: it used to. But some team starts to scale and

817
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: you find yourself saying, oh, who would have seen this coming? Well,

818
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily have to have seen it coming on

819
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: an individual basis, but you don't have to be totally

820
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: blindsided by it either. Learn lessons from the past and

821
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: know Clemson LSU Bama, like one of these teams is

822
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna end up in the thick of contention in November

823
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: and half y'all have already written them off. Shame on.

824
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: You couldn't be us, couldn't be us.

825
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, Also, maybe going into seasons moving forward, we

826
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: should all take a little bit more of a and

827
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: I'm not saying all the way to this endo the spectrum,

828
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 2: but a little bit more of a Colorado approach where

829
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 2: we went into this season. I know some of us

830
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 2: went into this season. I don't know. I can't tell you.

831
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 2: I have no idea, And I was not afraid to

832
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 2: say it, by the way, I was not afraid to

833
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 2: sit there and tell you, guys, I don't know if

834
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: college is gonna run two or ten. I don't know. Yeah,

835
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 2: haven't seen them play together. Eighty percent of the roster's

836
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 2: been flipped. I know they got a great offensive coordinator.

837
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 2: I know they got a great staff. I know they

838
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: got a good head coach that knows how to do

839
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: the things that he does extremely well. But we're talking

840
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: about playing football. Those aren't all those things. So we

841
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: didn't know what that was gonna be. And there's gonna

842
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: be more of that, either in the super positive direction

843
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 2: or in the super negative direction with all because a

844
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: we're at a where at a max turnover level in

845
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: college football right now annually, and that includes staff. I mean,

846
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 2: we got guys going different places at a rate that

847
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: we've never seen and way ahead of where it's ever been.

848
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 2: So there's gonna be a lot of this that sub

849
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: that happens that we had and was going to look

850
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 2: that way.

851
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: Are you let's talk about rivalry games, not weeks, but

852
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: a rivalry game in the SEC. Are you as bothered

853
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: by me when people just gloss over these games like

854
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee Alabama or they did it with Tennessee Obama for

855
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: a while Tennessee Florida. They just kind of gloss over it.

856
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: I love, love, love that we got a massive college

857
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: audience that watches this show, but they're working with one

858
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: hand tie behind their back, because if you're nineteen years old,

859
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: you have no concept of why this is even called

860
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: a rivalry or why it's so storied. Like they'll bring

861
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: it on on ESPN Saturday Night, and I guarantee you

862
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: they'll prepackage footage from the Spurrier era or the Fulmer era,

863
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: and you'll be watching it and you'll say, what is

864
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: this even? What era is this? And what planet was this?

865
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: Played college football, we always pride ourselves on history and tradition,

866
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: right well, in the modern age, it feels like there's

867
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: this portion of the college football public that if a game,

868
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: if a matchup hasn't been playoff relevant in the last

869
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: five years, it's just a trash game. It's just a

870
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: garbage game. This has a ton of intrigue. Man Like Bill,

871
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that any coach is under more pressure

872
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: this Saturday or this weekend. And Billy napier is I

873
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: actually went out on the limb of picking them to

874
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: win the game, because I happen to think the dynamic

875
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: with Tennessee's offense is a little different than how people

876
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: perceive it. And man, that's a total back against the

877
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: wall moment for Florida this Saturday, big recruiting weekend down there.

878
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go as far as to say must win,

879
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: but I'm not stopping well short of that. It is

880
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: a really big game for them. And look, you know

881
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: my thought. I think we're training towards the season where

882
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: we got massive upsets every weekend. It's not gonna be

883
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: a one or two weekend deal. So think about this though,

884
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: Like you're in Birmingham on radio, you guys take calls

885
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: about this. Do people even talk about Tennessee Florida right

886
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: now in the vein?

887
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: They used to not the way that they should. And

888
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 2: we had a great example of what you were talking

889
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: about last year. Damian Mitchell, one of the producers on

890
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: our show in the morning. God love him. I think

891
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 2: he's twenty two, but his brain is eleven when it

892
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 2: comes to college football, and he lost his mind last

893
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 2: year when Greg and I started talking about how cool

894
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: it was to have this game back like this game

895
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 2: actually means something some real relevance with this game, as

896
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: in things to play for and things at the end

897
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: of the season where this might be the game we

898
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 2: look back on and say, remember what happened in that one,

899
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: That's why this team is here. I'll educate some of

900
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 2: the younger listeners. This was a freaking playoff game. Before

901
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: there was a playoff. You go ninety six, ninety eight,

902
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: ninety nine, ninety seven, eighty nine like this, This was

903
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 2: a playoff game. The amount of NFL talent in the

904
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 2: mid to late nineties that took the field when these

905
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: two teams played one another was disgusting. It was LSU

906
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: Alabama nine esque every single year, and not just quarterbacks

907
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 2: and receivers, tailbacks, offensive linemen, defensive linement, corner, safeties and

908
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 2: big players made big games seemingly every year in this game.

909
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 2: And that was mean. That was like the Daniel Moore painting.

910
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: And I don't even know if there's a Daniel Moore

911
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: for Tennessee or Florida, because I know all Daniel Moore

912
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: paints's Alabama pictures. But if they did have an artists whatever,

913
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 2: whoever the monet for Tennessee is, it would come from

914
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 2: that game if they won it every year, and they

915
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: would have the two players with the jerseys of what

916
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: the score was, trying to hide that in the background,

917
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: and like Smokey would be jumping right next to the coach,

918
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 2: even though we know he never really gets that close

919
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 2: to the head coach. But this game is huge, man,

920
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: and it always will. This is why I'm upset we're

921
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 2: getting away from divisions. That's a whole other show you

922
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 2: and I can do another day. But I have said

923
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: for a long time we stop the word rivalry when

924
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 2: we talk about college football way too soon, boom, way

925
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: too soon, because we take rivalry and it's all the

926
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 2: games that we get Thanksgiving Day and for the rest

927
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 2: of that weekend, and then we don't talk about it.

928
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: Oh well maybe Georgia Florida. Okay, that one, Okay, well

929
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 2: I'll give you that one. But then there's no more.

930
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 2: And I'm just like, it's not just the Civil War,

931
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 2: it's not just the Iron Bowl, it's not just the game.

932
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 2: Games have meaning because you are emotionally invested in them.

933
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: And if an Auburn fan has gone a lifetime of

934
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: back and forth with mississipp State or Old miss or

935
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: an LSU fan has had a lifetime of going back

936
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 2: and forth with Arkansas, and he remembers what Darren McFadden

937
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 2: did to them, and he remembers double Duty Davenport catching

938
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 2: three touchdowns against somebody. Also remembers Booker McFarland getting five

939
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 2: sacks and how happy he was after that. And if

940
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 2: you got beat you knew you were getting them the

941
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 2: next year, And if it happened on the roads, you

942
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 2: knew you were getting them at home. But you were

943
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 2: so emotionally invested in how those things happened, when those

944
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: things happened, why those things happened, that it meant more

945
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 2: to you. There was more of your brain and heart

946
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: that cared about that game than all the other games,

947
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 2: even if they were teams that were better and more

948
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 2: important and would actually mean more to your ranking that year.

949
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: This one has a ton of that, a boatload of that,

950
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: and it will for a long time, even if a

951
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: seventeen year old doesn't think that right now, I promise

952
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 2: you it still does.

953
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Here's the other thing. Like down at Auburn, it

954
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: playing Bama. It's one game in the conference standings, but

955
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: yet the names that get remembered around there the names

956
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: that get remembered around LSU or the names that you're

957
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: remembered around college shifs, you can pick it. It usually

958
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: coincides with the fact that they put up really good numbers.

959
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: But in these games, these circle rivalry games, they did

960
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: something or they did a platter full of some things.

961
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is like someone will do

962
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: that Saturday. If I'm telling you right now now, this

963
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, This sounds like outer space stuff. Based on

964
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: Week one, what if one of those Florida tailbacks just

965
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: goes for like one thirty eight and three touchdowns after

966
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: they put up like thirteen yards total and in week

967
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: one and Florida wins thirty to twenty seven, and that's

968
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 1: what gets them back on track, and all of a sudden,

969
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: we fast forward to week eight or week nine and

970
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: it's Florida plus eight against Georgia, and all of a sudden,

971
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: that's a competitive game out of nowhere. That's the kind

972
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: of stuff they write about a generation from now, and

973
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the same folks who are calling

974
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: the game trash right now are telling us seventeen year old,

975
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 1: seventeen years from now, you need to respect this game

976
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: that's what you need to do. You need to learn

977
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: some respect for this game.

978
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 2: Where do you come up with this stuff? I sometimes

979
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: this is why I hate watching your show, because I

980
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 2: don't know how you like how your brain gets to

981
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 2: these places. But what you just said about certain players

982
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: who in the grand scope of that school, that university,

983
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 2: and that that team's history might not be massive, and

984
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 2: you said Auburn LSU, I'll throw a couple of names out.

985
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: Cecil Collins know what not A lot of people know

986
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 2: who Cecil Collins is. But he ran for like two

987
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: eighty nine against US in Death Valley one night, and

988
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 2: a Rondelle Meey added like one to eighty seven to

989
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 2: that game, and we found a way to win. Damian

990
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 2: Craig drove us down and we won the game. But

991
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: he had some issues off the field. He didn't play

992
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 2: a lot of football there, but he was huge that night.

993
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: Jamie Howard are there are a lot of young LSU

994
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: fans and Auburn fans that know about Jamie Howard right

995
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 2: now looking around, But I know he threw five interceptions

996
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 2: in a game and two of them were picked sixes.

997
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 2: And Auburn found a way to come back from like

998
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 2: four touchdowns down in the second half and win the

999
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: game at Jordan Hare Stadium. Like those are the kind

1000
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 2: of names you're talking about that we'll live on forever

1001
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 2: and ever and ever. But just because they're not in

1002
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 2: that team's Hall of Fame or the college Football Hall

1003
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 2: of Fame or play ten years in the NFL, not

1004
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people know why that player had the

1005
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: meaning that they did. And that's what makes them beautiful,

1006
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 2: that's what makes them great.

1007
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: So you didn't necessarily get a ton of the Alabama

1008
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: miss eh Texas traffic. You got caught up in a

1009
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: little bit of it, but the game happened. So while

1010
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: you were over in Starkville last week going to overtime,

1011
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: I was in Tuscaloosa at a game that did not

1012
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: need ot By the way, let's picture this now. Pictures

1013
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: standing in Bryant Denny Stadium and you're looking around and

1014
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: it's emptying out midway through the fourth quarter, and you're thinking, oh,

1015
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: I saw that against Middle Tennessee State Week one. We've

1016
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: seen it many times. What you haven't seen is you

1017
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: haven't seen it cause the home team is getting beat

1018
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: by double digits. That's what was so crazy about that.

1019
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: So everyone's had their take on this this week. I

1020
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: got to tell you what was pretty surreal. So earlier

1021
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: in the week I kind of relayed some feedback I

1022
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: had got. I know, it sounded like I was just

1023
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: coming off the cuff, but there are a lot of

1024
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: folks who think the Bama coaching staff below Nick Saban

1025
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: is not on par with some of the ones they've

1026
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: had in the past, which is easy to tell because

1027
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: the ones they've had in the past were like all

1028
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: time staffs. So here's what's crazy. I got a ton

1029
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: of feedback on that, and overwhelmingly people around the program agreed.

1030
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: And then Saban steps to the podium. What are we Thursday?

1031
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: So last night he steps to the podium and he said, yeah,

1032
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: people have been calling me all week saying, hey, these

1033
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: guys are jerks for criticizing you, But I'm like, they're

1034
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: not wrong. We should be criticized, which was real funny,

1035
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: and I just I just took it upon myself to

1036
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: let everyone know he's probably talking about our show, because

1037
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy I am. But you and

1038
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: I were big on this offensive line, and it was

1039
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: a rough performance for them the other night. No explosive

1040
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: plays on the ground hardly and the game plan or

1041
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: maybe lack thereof, to feature Jalen Milroe. Just a lot

1042
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: of stuff look discombobulated. So I've spoken my piece on it.

1043
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about what is wrong with Bama?

1044
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: If you think there's something wrong with Bama?

1045
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. If it's that there are a lot

1046
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 2: of things wrong. Let's also think about that this is

1047
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 2: a team that had the lead going into the fourth quarter,

1048
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 2: had multiple turnovers, was miserable on third down, and wasn't

1049
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: a very balanced football team throughout. There's a lot of

1050
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 2: other reasons that you could point to and say these

1051
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: also contributed to why they lost the game. The offensive

1052
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 2: line didn't play well. Texas has a really good d line.

1053
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 2: You and I talked last week ninety three and ninety

1054
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 2: were going to be a problem. I didn't know if

1055
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: ninety five was going to be that much of a

1056
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: problem as he was for that Texas front. But they

1057
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 2: were Texas defense a little bit of what we talked

1058
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 2: about earlier in the show. They look like they wanted

1059
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 2: it a little bit more. Texas's offensive line took it

1060
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 2: to that Alabama front seven. They've been almost a non

1061
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 2: factor in eight quarters of football against Steve Sarkisian. So

1062
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 2: for him to be able to remove those guys that

1063
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 2: have played on that Alabama front, that's a problem. It

1064
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 2: doesn't allow you to do the things that you need

1065
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: to do offensively. Motion based matchup offense. That's what sark runs.

1066
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 2: He utilized it and found the matchups that he wanted.

1067
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 2: He liked him. They took their shots, they got them,

1068
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 2: they won. That's a play right there where I mean once,

1069
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 2: quickly go back to the first play here, the running

1070
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 2: back goes low and you slide gap the protection whever

1071
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: you want to call it. Okay, the running back goes low.

1072
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 2: That's quick protection by definition. What would quick protection tell you?

1073
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 2: Common sense football people, even if you never played, you

1074
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 2: should understand that get the ball out. It's gotta happen.

1075
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 2: Like It's just there are little things like that where

1076
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 2: a lot of folks don't seem to be on the

1077
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: same page. And to me, that's just not understanding all

1078
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 2: of your offense and the hows and the whys of

1079
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: the inner workings of what you're doing. Everybody can understand

1080
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 2: their individual assignment, but you go next level when everyone

1081
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 2: understands conceptually what you're trying to do and why you're

1082
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: trying to do it. That's the part that I see

1083
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 2: missing a little bit from Alabama's offense. Now, did they

1084
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 2: get pushed around? Did they get bullied? Yes? They did.

1085
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean Texas, like I said, they took that game

1086
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 2: from Alabama. They didn't. Alabama didn't give it away. Alabama

1087
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 2: didn't fumbled away. They did some things to help that.

1088
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 2: But Texas took that game physically and took the fight

1089
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 2: to them. So this is a college football playoff team

1090
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 2: we're talking about in Texas. Now. I think Alabama has

1091
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: some forks in the road. I'm not gonna be one

1092
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 2: of these guys that's walking out on that plank of

1093
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 2: talking about the end of Nick Saban or the end

1094
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 2: of the era or the album of football programs falling

1095
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 2: off a cliff. But as in regards to this individual season, Josh,

1096
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 2: they are facing multiple forks in the road right now.

1097
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 2: They have big decisions to make and need to be

1098
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: made fairly quickly of what did we think we were

1099
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: going to be, what are we and what can we

1100
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 2: realistically be for the rest of this season. There's not

1101
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: a ton of time to figure that out, and then

1102
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: after you make those decisions, who is best suited to

1103
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 2: give us the best chance to go be those things.

1104
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 2: That might mean a quarterback change, That might mean some

1105
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 2: changes in the offensive line, that might mean some scheme changes.

1106
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 2: It might change at linebacker, defensive tackle. I don't know

1107
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: where those are all gonna come from. But you've got

1108
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 2: to find first and foremost what your personality is. You

1109
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 2: mentioned the game plan. If you're gonna ride with Jaylen

1110
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 2: Milrow and you're not going to u utilize an elite

1111
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 2: set of skills that he brings to the table more often,

1112
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 2: I have to bring that into question and wonder why

1113
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 2: you're not doing that. And if the quarterback competition was

1114
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 2: as close as it was, it can't be that you're

1115
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 2: worried about putt him in harm's way. It just can't

1116
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 2: because you would feel like the next guy was pretty

1117
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 2: close to it. Even if there's a bit of a

1118
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,959
Speaker 2: drop off, that's okay because he was right there with him.

1119
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 2: So some of that just doesn't equal up to me

1120
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 2: with how they called it and how it's looked. But

1121
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 2: I also don't think that that you know, I'm not

1122
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 2: printing their tombstone just yet. There's a lot of talent

1123
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 2: on that team. There's a lot of guys that want it.

1124
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 2: The talking's get to be a tad much. Just go

1125
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 2: do it. I don't need to hear you talk about

1126
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 2: it anymore. Just go do it and see what you

1127
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: can put together over the next few weeks.

1128
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: If you had to guess, would you how would you

1129
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: guess they handle quarterback against USF.

1130
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,919
Speaker 2: I think you'll see more than one. And I think

1131
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 2: because you at least have to begin preparation for the

1132
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 2: ifs now down the road. Because the ifs may have

1133
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 2: been sad thing in the back of your mind previously,

1134
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 2: they have to be forward facing in your brain. I

1135
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: don't know the names of all the core Texes, but

1136
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 2: they need to be up in this one right here. Yeah,

1137
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 2: this general facility is where you need to be thinking

1138
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 2: about if things go haywire again, we have to go

1139
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 2: to a different option, and what will that option be?

1140
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's going to be one series

1141
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 2: and then you see Buckner or two series. You see Buckner.

1142
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 2: This is not a good football team they're playing. So

1143
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 2: when they get a decent, comfortable lead two three touchdowns,

1144
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,720
Speaker 2: I think you'll absolutely see somebody else, get some meaningful snaps.

1145
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: All right. So, as you would expect, anytime a high

1146
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: profile team loses, there is a national freakout and conversation

1147
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: in that order about play calling. So Bama loses, or

1148
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: it could be Ohio State that loses, clems and loses.

1149
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: Whoever loses. If Georgia were to lose to South Carolina,

1150
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: we would have a national freakout slash conversation about play calling,

1151
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: and it would start at the ground level. It would

1152
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: start with that fan base. Then it would kind of

1153
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: mushroom and it would permeate, and all of a sudden,

1154
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: the entire country is thrust into talking about something they

1155
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: really to a ninety eighth percent, I know nothing about.

1156
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: So I've always been wise enough to know where my

1157
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: laying is on the show. So we've never done a

1158
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 1: play calling questioning segment very rarely, while I even questioned personnel.

1159
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: But that does not stop that does not stop Carl

1160
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: from Childersburg from doing that. And a lot of times

1161
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: they'll call into shows and it's really entertaining to listen to.

1162
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to do something so and I'm

1163
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: not talking about during the show, but sometimes even when

1164
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm off air, you'll call me up. We'll talk about this,

1165
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: we'll laugh about this. I figure, let's just bring it

1166
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: on the show. So I was telling you a story.

1167
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,959
Speaker 1: I think I told you this story about three years ago.

1168
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: I call myself gonna go to talk to an offensive

1169
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: coordinator about play calling, and I wasn't doing it to

1170
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: be a jerk. I was saying, hey, please explain this

1171
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: to me, because they had a wide receiver that I

1172
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: thought should have been a focal point of their game plan,

1173
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: and he had no catches, he had no targets, but

1174
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: he was on the field. So he says, well, tell

1175
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: me what you think. So I give him. I give

1176
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: him my whole spiel. I barely even cracked the ice

1177
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,479
Speaker 1: in terms of intricacy, but I give him my whole spiel.

1178
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: And he says, well, hey, what if I told you

1179
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: he had two dislocated fingers on a hand and he

1180
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: was out of contention to catch a pass like We

1181
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: were never throwing him the ball. But we loved him

1182
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: as a decoy and we end up winning the game,

1183
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: and he could block. We trusted him to block, but

1184
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: we could not throw him the ball because he had

1185
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 1: two disslocated fingers. Now I can't talk to the press

1186
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: about that, and I can't go tell anyone that. And

1187
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: even after the game, he's not going to go to

1188
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: the media and say I couldn't catch a ball today.

1189
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: I had dislocated fingers. But it was the case. He said,

1190
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: now that you're armed with that information, how do you

1191
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: feel about my play calling? And I said, I'm never

1192
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: questioning play calling again. I'm just not doing it. That

1193
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: was something that was actually that was in terms of injury,

1194
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: But there's also like a million different things. Percentages play

1195
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: into this, tendencies play into this. You put yourself in

1196
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: a look that you think is a seventy three percent winner,

1197
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the twenty seven percent happens

1198
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: And at second and ten, was it a bad play

1199
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: call or did things just not go your way? All

1200
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: kinds of different things, like one hundred layers to a

1201
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: play call that starts in the spring, not the week

1202
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: of the game. So when you hear this stuff, how

1203
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: do you react to it? Because you probably hear it

1204
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: in the stands behind you all the time every Saturday.

1205
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 2: It's why watching games in the stands is really hard

1206
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, he's terrible. And I'm oh, boy,

1207
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 2: I've watched one game in the stands with two games

1208
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 2: in the stands with my wife. Our first game we

1209
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: ever went to was the Arkansas State game, the opener

1210
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 2: in twenty ten, and we set to a man that

1211
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 2: got mad every time the quarterback ran the ball. When's

1212
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 2: he gonna throw it?

1213
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: Who was that quarterback? Who was that guy?

1214
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: Run the ball? He did? Okay, he did, okay run

1215
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 2: the ball. That year he only led the sec in

1216
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 2: rushing and won the Heisman Trophy. But yeah, it was okay.

1217
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 2: I actually went to I walked up to the tunnel

1218
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 2: and watched the rest of the game in the tunnel.

1219
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: She's like, this isn't a fun date, and I was like,

1220
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 2: no explet if, dude, there's ruining that be next to him.

1221
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 2: So I think the first thing you have to do,

1222
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 2: and there's nothing wrong with questioning it is just the

1223
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 2: first thing you have to do is remove individual matchups

1224
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 2: from your brain. So if you see and I, if

1225
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 2: a receiver beats the same corner nine times, sure it's

1226
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 2: okay to say why didn't we get him some help?

1227
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 2: It's fine, but you also have to go back and

1228
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 2: look at, well, what was the formation, what did they

1229
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 2: motion to shift to to get to that formation that

1230
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 2: potentially left them where they were, and how often had

1231
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 2: they done that before? That all plays into that. That's

1232
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 2: why Dan mull has been the master of having success

1233
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 2: offensively against Nick Saban because he knows how to rip

1234
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 2: their safeties where he wants them, and he can take

1235
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 2: advantage of that Sark pretty much the same way does

1236
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 2: some of those things. Injuries do come into play, Like

1237
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 2: you said, but if you call a play and the

1238
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: left tackle gets beat and are you looking down the

1239
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 2: field to see what was there? Do you know if

1240
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 2: the routes were open? And then when there are plays

1241
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 2: like that where let's pressure gets home or a defensive

1242
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 2: tackle beats a guard and he gets a sack, do

1243
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 2: you take the time to look at what was there

1244
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 2: or what was going to be there inside of that play?

1245
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 2: I would probably believe most people do not. Perfect example,

1246
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 2: with the Alabama game, which I think where a lot

1247
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: of this conversation is being generated from, I would ask

1248
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 2: you to go back and watch that offense, and when

1249
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 2: you watch it, only watch the middle of the field

1250
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 2: when Alabama's throwing the football and then take the amount

1251
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 2: of plays that failed when they did not have success

1252
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 2: and they wanted to throw the football, and tell me

1253
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 2: what you saw in the middle of the field that

1254
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 2: was either there when it failed or what was going

1255
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 2: to be there quickly before it failed, And you will

1256
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 2: probably see something very different just in that one game.

1257
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 2: That's the only game that I'm talking about. There there's

1258
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 2: so many internal and external factors that go into an

1259
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 2: actual play call. Here's the other part, Like this is

1260
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 2: why I hate PFF and I'm sorry I called you

1261
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 2: out on the show, but I had to do it.

1262
01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 2: You don't know what in the hell of the calls are.

1263
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 2: You don't know what checks were made. You don't know

1264
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 2: somebody called the wrong front. You don't know if somebody

1265
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: called the right front. You don't know who they identified

1266
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 2: as the Mike climecker. You don't know if they moved

1267
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 2: the mic front side or backside, if they checked it off.

1268
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 2: Did somebody call slide protection? And half the line I

1269
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 2: missed it is the quarterback putting the running back on

1270
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 2: the wrong person. But does the running back even hear

1271
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 2: the call? And then to tell me that you can

1272
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 2: grade secondaries at halftime of a game, is absolutely obnoxious

1273
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: with the amount of calls and checks and things that

1274
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,959
Speaker 2: they have to trade off over the course of a game.

1275
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 2: It literally cannot happen. It's not humanly possible to know

1276
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 2: exactly what was happening in those scenarios. So it's also

1277
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 2: easy to say play call was terrible. But what if

1278
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 2: Will Rogers came up and got into a totally different

1279
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: play and then slipped it to the other side to

1280
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 2: run in a different direction and brought a guy in

1281
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 2: motion that he shouldn't have? Is that on Coach Barbay

1282
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 2: at that point in time, it'll be so Now you

1283
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 2: could say, give you got too much freedom? All right,

1284
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 2: let's have that conversation then, but that's not a plu

1285
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,439
Speaker 2: conversation at that point in time.

1286
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: How do you decide how the impersonation of the caller

1287
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: is going to sound because you don't always use the

1288
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: same language, you don't always use the same tone of voice.

1289
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, how many of them do you have dialed

1290
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: up in your head.

1291
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 2: We actually had a guy call in to Macelroy and

1292
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 2: Cublic like two weeks ago, and he was mad. He said,

1293
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 2: I I think it's disrespectful that every time y'all talk

1294
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 2: about it. Then that's not doing something right that you

1295
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 2: don't like. He sounds like a redneck And I just

1296
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 2: said thank you. Yeah, well, because I feel like you

1297
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 2: kind of just proved our point there. But cool. Yeah,

1298
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 2: but Greg made a good point. He's like every coach.

1299
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 2: Every coach has a Southern accent, because that's that's like

1300
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 2: what yelled at us the most of the time. Like

1301
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 2: my whole life, whether it was in Homewood High School

1302
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 2: or at Auburn, like my coach is pretty much had

1303
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 2: Southern accents and they were yelling at me. So when

1304
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 2: I picture someone yelling about football, that's what kind of

1305
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:55,919
Speaker 2: creeps into my brain. First.

1306
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, at the late Tommy Parks who coachedes down

1307
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: at Harris County High School, first thing I ever got

1308
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:01,959
Speaker 1: yelled at me as a ninth grader.

1309
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,439
Speaker 4: Was don't just stand there like a bucket of water

1310
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 4: paint do something I never even I never even observed

1311
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 4: a bucket of water the same way after that, they

1312
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 4: don't talk like that in North Dakota, I don't think

1313
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 4: they do.

1314
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, fun times. Do you have anything for me?

1315
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: You got some questions you can fire at me.

1316
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 2: I have a couple things and these are going to

1317
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 2: be regurgitated, just because I feel like the answers are

1318
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 2: going to be so much different now that when I

1319
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 2: asked you before, I'll start with this one better chance

1320
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Texas A and M finishes first or last in the

1321
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 2: SEC West, it's last.

1322
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: What did I say the first time? Did I say first?

1323
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 2: Yes?

1324
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Oh I was stupid? No, forget that it's last, the

1325
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: better shot they finished last.

1326
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 2: Now, I think most people would have said that. Now

1327
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 2: I'm changing this and I'm removing the Big ten. Maybe

1328
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 2: I should leave the Big ten, but I think this

1329
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 2: is a little more entertaining right now. So this is

1330
01:04:55,520 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 2: not totally regurgitated. It's altered and regurgitated. Better chance to

1331
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 2: get two teams in the college football playoff, the SEC

1332
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 2: or the PAC twelve.

1333
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: I cannot believe this is about to happen.

1334
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 2: The fact that you even had to think about it,

1335
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 2: Think about where we are right now.

1336
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: I think the answers the PAC twelve. I think Vegas

1337
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: would disagree. I think oddsmakers would disagree with that obviously.

1338
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: And you're fighting the perception like every benefit of the

1339
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: doubt is going to be given to the SEC. None

1340
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: of it's going to be given to the PAC twelve,

1341
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: and we really haven't gotten into the carnage of PAC

1342
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: twelve play yet, so maybe I'll flip flop on that

1343
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: five more times. But as of this moment, Southern cal

1344
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: quietly looks a lot better defensively. You know my thoughts

1345
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: on Oregon. If I'm wrong about Oregon, Washington will fill

1346
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: the void. If they don't, Oregon State will fill the void.

1347
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Utah's just there as they are every year. Haven't lost

1348
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: the game. Hey guys, we're just here. Cam Rising Jesse,

1349
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: he's right in the control room right now. He looks

1350
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: better and better every day. I think it's the PAC twelve.

1351
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: Do you disagree with me on this?

1352
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't think so well. The way Washington State's got

1353
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 2: a pretty good quarterback. They're throwing it around. You know,

1354
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 2: Arizona's gonna be a problem for a lot of teams.

1355
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 2: They're not going to the playoff, but they're I think

1356
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 2: they're gonna help some resumes based on what they do

1357
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 2: through the course of the year. And Colorado's undefeated, yeah,

1358
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 2: and has a first round NFL quarterback who's wowing a

1359
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 2: lot of people. So I just think it was somebody

1360
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 2: asked me about USC earlier. By the way, if you

1361
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 2: saw that, if you really go take a close look

1362
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,959
Speaker 2: at that defense they played this weekend. Holy mother God,

1363
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 2: that that was. That was not interesting to look at

1364
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 2: or talk about. That's exactly what it what it should

1365
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 2: should get you right there. But I don't like the

1366
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 2: way they're moving Caleb Williams around. I don't like this

1367
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 2: sort of let's run into the alley, maybe pop pass,

1368
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 2: maybe keep like. I don't like how they're putting him

1369
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 2: in harm's way. And I said this, and I had

1370
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 2: to catch myself earlier today I said, I don't know

1371
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 2: if they're built. Wow, I'm gonna say it. For what

1372
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve is going to offer physically this year, Yes,

1373
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 2: we've made it.

1374
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Yes, let's let's blow this whole thing up now that

1375
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: it's a quality conference. That's how I will do it. Hey,

1376
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: I got a question for you, one, go for it,

1377
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: shoot me shoot me first?

1378
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 2: Better album Southern Playlistic, Cadillac Music, Surfacing or Octen Baby.

1379
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: Off the top of my head, I don't know who

1380
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: any of those are from.

1381
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I didn't expect you to go there. Southern Playlistic,

1382
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 2: Cadac Music is outcast by far their best album for

1383
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 2: the youngsters that don't know about Tennessee and Florida. You

1384
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 2: should go back and listen to that one, because, hey, y'all, missus,

1385
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 2: Jackson ain't their best work. Surfacing is Sarah McGlaughlin, who

1386
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 2: I've heard you reference multiple times. But I didn't buy

1387
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 2: the album album.

1388
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: No, I would never buy the album. I just buy

1389
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: the singles. I don't need to lay anything other than

1390
01:07:58,440 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Angel down on this show.

1391
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 2: Octon Baby, is you too? Greg Sank you would be

1392
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 2: disappointed that you didn't know that you might not get

1393
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 2: credential to your next Alabama game.

1394
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: I I don't care for any Look, I will lose

1395
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,760
