7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: to the Herd Podcast. Last year, Ohio State won the Natty,

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: but it was the way in which they won.

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: They had a.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Dominant backfield Judkins and Traveon Henderson, who are both flourishing

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. This year's Ohio State team pretty mid

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: on the old line in a couple of spots, could

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: not block Miami up front, not much of a power

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: run game, and they put a lot of their offense

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: on Julian Sayan's shoulders, and he looked a little outclassed

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: against Miami. Josh Pate, who does a remarkable job. He's

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: got the Josh pay College Football Show on YouTube. You

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: see him all over the internet.

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: We love him.

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: So I gotta be honest. I thought Miami was the side.

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: If you were a better I thought nine and a

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: half was a lot. I think I told you I

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: saw them play pitt and I was like, Okay, this

24
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: team is no fun to play. They just throwing Pitt

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: all over the field for a warm weather team going

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: into Pittsburgh. How surprised were you by the bullying Miami

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: did to the Buck Eyes?

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: Man, not as high on the scale as you would think.

29
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: I was.

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: I think we were on the same side.

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: So you took buck guys to win canes to cover

32
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: I think that's where I was. I don't know that

33
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: many people watched Miami down to stretch Colin. You didn't

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: have a conference title game to watch him.

35
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 5: Man.

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 4: I think people tuned out on him after probably the

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 4: SMU game because they thought their season was over. And

38
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 4: to be frank or to be honest, if you even

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: looked at Miamis schedule after that, there was nowhere they

40
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 4: were going to earn anyone's trust back because no one

41
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: respected the back half of their schedule, including the pit game,

42
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: Like no one respected that Notre Dame went up there

43
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: and smoked them too, So nobody was really going to

44
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 4: be bought back in Miami. It was going to take

45
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: something like we saw and when it happened, like there

46
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: were there were some folks I hinted it this last

47
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: week that said Miami's a nearly a double digit dog,

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 4: and I don't remember a double digit dog ever in

49
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: my mind having an O line D line edge.

50
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, they've got the QB experience edge.

51
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: And boy, I took some knives to the chest for

52
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: that last week because I think people had to see it.

53
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 4: Like I'm not even hating on folks. People had to

54
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: see it, and then they finally saw it. And it's

55
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 4: jarring because the one thing, even if I thought Miami

56
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: had the edges, the one thing I didn't think anyone

57
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: was going to do is just totally out physical Ohio state.

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: And it wasn't to the degree like Indiana did Alabama.

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: It wasn't to that degree, but they did have those

60
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 4: decided edges. And that's a place in Columbus, Ohio that

61
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: just flat out and didn't believe that was possible.

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: So I had said a couple of years ago, I said,

63
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: I thought the Big Ten would eventually. I didn't think

64
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: it would be overnight, but had a chance to overtake

65
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: the SEC. Now the SEC footprint, there's more great high

66
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: school players. But I said, you know, these large Big

67
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Ten schools flushed forty thousand kids, you know, into the

68
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: job market.

69
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: They love their schools.

70
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: The endowments at Michigan they're massive, and I said, I

71
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: think they're going to buy a bunch of players. And

72
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: now here comes Rich USC and Rich Oregon. Are you

73
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: know you have been following college football for a long time,

74
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: especially the SEC. Are you kind of surprised? You wake

75
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: up and you're like, is the big ten at the top?

76
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: Better?

77
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: Are you surprised by what we saw over the last three.

78
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: Weeks two weeks?

79
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: It makes sense once you say it all out, like

80
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: once you write it down on paper, it makes sense.

81
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: It was kind of like the Miami microcosm there we

82
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: just laid out. People had to see it, and me included,

83
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: I had to see it to believe it. And so

84
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: obviously we're in a blender in college football, have been

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: for the past five years. A lot of stuff changing.

86
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: I think for a long time, talent was currency. I

87
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: mean currency got talent in the SEC, but the talent

88
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: was the currency as well in the SEC in fortifying

89
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: the argument that they had the dominance and whatnot, it

90
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 4: also made them very loose with other practices. And I'm

91
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: telling you, Colin, this is some of the feedback that

92
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: I'm getting more and more of, But it's also some

93
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: of the observations that I've made. Because they out talented

94
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 4: people so thoroughly, they got loose with a lot of

95
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 4: other practices in the SEC, not the least of which

96
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 4: was staffing.

97
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: Now they went and hired top of the line head coaches.

98
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 3: That much is clear.

99
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: But one of the things that disappointed me the most

100
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 4: and underwhelmed me the most when I sort of really

101
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: got my hands around how various aspects.

102
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: Of the sport works was how staffs come together.

103
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: Because I always thought it was a mad scientist pulling

104
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: levers behind the curtain, and really all it was was

105
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: your representation, get you that head coaching job, and then

106
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: you just fill your building with a lot of their clients,

107
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: and you look at it you almost think there's no way.

108
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 4: That's the way it works. Well in the South, in

109
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: a lot of cases, that's the way it works. And

110
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 4: so I'm not even speaking about Alabama specifically, this is

111
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 4: a situation where you got folks who are ill qualified

112
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: to have top of the line assistant coaching positions, to

113
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 4: have off field positions, administrative positions, and it's just it's

114
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 4: lazy because you could have been lazy when you had

115
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,559
Speaker 4: that big a talent edge.

116
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: You don't have the big talent edge anymore.

117
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: And the Big ten for a long time has just

118
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: gone about their business a different way. They largely have

119
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: merit based hiring practices, and therefore you get really really

120
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 4: good status.

121
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: And in some cases it's not a coincidence.

122
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 4: They're stat's full of guys whose names you haven't heard

123
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: of a whole lot because they haven't been promoted a

124
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: whole lot relative to their Southern counterparts.

125
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: But they're better.

126
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: And so then you get on the field and you

127
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 4: start asking questions like, let's look at Indiana and Alabama specifically.

128
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: You start asking questions like, how could this happen? How

129
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: could Alabama have the former recruiting rankings talent edge? How

130
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: could this be? How could that be?

131
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: It's because there are no wobbly parts at Indiana now.

132
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: Everything that's all the lego pieces are in place and everything.

133
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 4: That guy right there, that's Kurt Signetti, everything he says,

134
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: Saban said a decade and a half ago.

135
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: They've put it in practice there and this is the result.

136
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: The you know, I really think it's a Miami Indiana Final.

137
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if old Miss can make stops. What

138
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: do we make of Oregon? I think Dante More is

139
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: a year away. I just watched them play yesterday, and

140
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, they played with their food. I just feel

141
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: like we could have two lobsided games. I saw Indiana

142
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: beat Oregon at Oregon and it wasn't as close as

143
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: the score.

144
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: What do we make of Oregon?

145
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Cause I think we both agreed that Miami and Indiana

146
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: looked the part they look like national champs?

147
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: Is Oregon in that class?

148
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: Dad?

149
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: What a sentence?

150
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: Man?

151
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: Just go back a month.

152
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 4: Miami and Indiana just your your obvious national championship matchup

153
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 4: is wild. We're already sitting at a point by the

154
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: way where we're going to have a new national champion

155
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: head coach. So someone's gonna win their first no matter what.

156
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: I right now, as we sit here today, I'm with you.

157
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: I think back to yesterday. So here's what our instinct is.

158
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: I think you'll probably be aligned with me on this.

159
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: Your instinct is when you watch a team do what

160
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: Oregon did yesterday and they win a game, they shut

161
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: out someone in a playoff game, like that's a big deal.

162
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: But when they do that and there's so many mistakes,

163
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: it's just riddled with inefficiency. What you think is kind

164
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: of to have a better's mentality. Wow, So there's still

165
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 4: a lot of upside with that team. There's still a

166
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: lot of runs on their ladder they could climb in

167
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: terms of efficiency.

168
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: Well I'm going to bank on that. Well, we're running

169
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: out of games to bank on.

170
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: It is the point, like, if we're doing that in

171
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 4: Week four, that makes a lot of sense. But this

172
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: is the postseason, and everything about you says Oregon should

173
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: have come out razor shark yesterday.

174
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: They didn't.

175
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: Their defense afforded them the ability to have a ton

176
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: of mistakes offensively. I just again, I had some instincts

177
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: about Alabama against Indiana, like I thought, oh, they may

178
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: get right against them. No, one's getting right again against Indiana.

179
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: Is the most glaring lesson that I've learned in this

180
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 4: whole ordeal Ohio State, Like they're not figuring out how

181
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: to open up their offense against Indian And Alabama's not

182
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: figuring out how to have a more efficient ground game

183
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: and to work that intermediate deep passing game.

184
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: Even though they got healthy, that's not happening.

185
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: So in the end, it just exposes more of what

186
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: already are your flaws. You don't correct them against Indiana.

187
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: I know that line came out three and a half

188
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: or four, and that's a huge swing off of what

189
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: they had on the field in Eugene. But I think

190
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 4: we've had a huge perception change since then as well.

191
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: So until further notice, I'm working with you. I see

192
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 4: it the same way you.

193
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: Do, Bob.

194
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: Before we go, arch Manning played really well. It's Michigan.

195
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they're a bit of a mess now, but

196
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: our arch has always been athletic, the most athletic, kind

197
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: of like the you know, the older the grandfather Archie

198
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: Manning for the Saints ran around all over the field.

199
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: And then Peyton and Eli are pocket guys. Is Texas

200
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: the number one in that conference next year? Are the

201
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: Longhorns with arches play?

202
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: What does the South look like?

203
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: Because I know next year Michigan will be better, Oregon,

204
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Washington UFC should be. I kind of know who's going

205
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: to be good. I don't in the South, I don't

206
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: know who's good. Is Texas the team.

207
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: To beat next year?

208
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 4: It's a really important two weeks coming up. Right here

209
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 4: in the portal to answer the question you just asked.

210
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 4: But I think, yeah, they may. I mean, and you're

211
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 4: going to have a lot of boy cried wolfe syndrome.

212
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: I can just picture sec media days now. I think

213
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 4: it's in Tampa next year because he when Arch Manning

214
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: and Texas came in there this last year. I haven't

215
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: seen anything like that since Tua and then Manziel before him,

216
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: and then Tebow before him in terms of just a

217
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: throng of people following him. He's got all these preseason

218
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,239
Speaker 4: accolades and then he doesn't live up to their expectations immediately,

219
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: so then Texas gets written off. But then at the

220
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 4: very end of the year, all of a sudden, oh oh,

221
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 4: that's what we were looking at. So he's going to

222
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: get coorinated again, and people are going to doubt it

223
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: because all they're going to say all off season is, well,

224
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: that's what you said last year.

225
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: It may be right this year. It may have just

226
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: been a year early last year.

227
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 4: I yeah, I would say right now, they would probably

228
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 4: be the favorite. I just think back to myself and

229
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: I think about how different his situation is. He's in

230
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: a situation where he doesn't need to go chase NFL

231
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 4: money immediately, and you just look at the maturation process.

232
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: And because there's such bigger expectation placed on guys, they

233
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 4: look at it.

234
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: You know, if it's a bag of popcorn.

235
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: And I put it in my microwave over here, they think, well,

236
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 4: since there's higher expectation, we just take it out after

237
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: forty two seconds. It says a minute on the bag though,

238
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: So everyone's bag has a timer on it, and it

239
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: doesn't matter how big a bag you've got, an nil,

240
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: it's going to take that much time before you're ready.

241
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: It may just be that Arts needed this much time.

242
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: You saw him, like, look Michigan, Michigan not a highly

243
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 4: rated team than playoff teams as usual this year, but

244
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: that's not a bad defensive team either, and that athletic profile.

245
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 4: Just him doing that right there, combined with a third

246
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: season under Steve Sarkisian. Yeah, I trust you'll get a

247
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 4: complete game from him next year.

248
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: Josh, Hey, it's all over YouTube volume. We use them

249

270
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 7: Heard on the news, This is the herdline news.

271
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, portals is exciting as NFL free agency, Colin, I'm

272
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 5: fired up. Let's go to the NFL and Lamar Jackson

273
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 5: obviously announced he's practicing.

274
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 2: He's a go.

275
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 5: However, he's also combating those rumors. Remember a week ago,

276
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 5: right before Christmas, there was a report out of Baltimore

277
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 5: that he was falling asleep into meetings.

278
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: Jack getting longer.

279
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, incredible.

280
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 5: Well, Lamar waited, waited, He waited over a week to reply,

281
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 5: and here he is addressing those rumors.

282
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 8: I got any question about or I hear things about. Oh,

283
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 8: I don't know if he was like, I never quit

284
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 8: on my team before, you know, so I never quit

285
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 8: any king of y'all. So I don't know what I

286
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 8: noise came from. I heard I was playing a game

287
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 8: that like one to two in the morning. I don't

288
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 8: even do that on summer, So I know where I

289
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 8: come from. But yeah, I don't know, man, I don't know.

290
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 8: I don't know what that come for.

291
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: He said that you own.

292
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 8: Do you think Harbaugh let you.

293
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: Red in the front?

294
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: Man?

295
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 8: I don't know, man, it is what it is.

296
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a legitimate reporter, the whole thing.

297
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: Listen, If Lamar comes out Sunday and it's magical, then

298
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: nobody cares about anything. But if he comes out he struggles,

299
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: they lose. It's not the end of the world. Ravens

300
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: are well run, but it's it's that's what I think.

301
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: The game itself will be ugly, but the magnitude of

302
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: the loser going forward is fascinating. Like Seattle, San Francisco

303
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:48,119
Speaker 1: is two excellent teams, Baltimore Pittsburgh is two struggling teams.

304
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: One is going to have an ugly off season. So

305
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: I think it's a fascinating watch on Sunday night.

306
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 5: You know, it's I don't want to split hairs here, Colin,

307
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 5: but falling asleep in team meetings, I mean, there's a

308
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 5: big difference between dozing off, which somebody may characterize as

309
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 5: falling asleep, versus straight up falling asleep head down, you're out.

310
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: I don't think this guy would make something like that up.

311
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 5: All right, that's a bad look. So it's pretty clear

312
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 5: that something happened in the team meetings. Harball, I don't

313
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 5: think has addressed them. But to counter that, it's like,

314
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 5: well if, Harbaugh, what if I do I have to

315
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 5: address every single rumor about all my players.

316
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: So there's really no win here.

317
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 5: But you're right, if the Steelers managed to win this,

318
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 5: that will be an interesting offseason in Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

319
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: And we know Pittsburgh obviously, we don't know, like Tomlin,

320
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: we don't know about Rogers. Yeah, that division could look

321
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 5: very different. What's gonna happen in Cleveland? What's gonna happen

322
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 5: with Zach Taylor? I mean, hell, could they lose three

323
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 5: or four coaches in that division this offseason? Would anything

324
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 5: surprise you? No, it's a wacky situation. All right, Let's

325
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 5: move on to the big matchup. Brock Perdy hosting Colin's guy,

326
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold in a nice Seahawks tilt for the ages.

327
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 5: How about Christian McCaffrey Colin being a workhorse this season?

328
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 5: You had that stat on him getting twenty seven carries

329
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 5: or twenty seven touches. Rather, he's had that in back

330
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 5: to back weeks.

331
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: Now.

332
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 5: Mike McDonald of Seattle was asked, how do you prepare

333
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 5: for Christian McCaffrey here?

334
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: He is what he said, all the.

335
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: Plays you're just that's that's what That's what you.

336
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 9: I guess it's a terrible answer, but it's by situation again.

337
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 9: You know, like, who do you have in the field,

338
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 9: who do they have in the field, where's the ball?

339
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: You know, are you trying to attack?

340
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 9: Are you trying to kind of hedgees that those are

341
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 9: the things you're thinking about. But he's definitely someone you

342
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 9: have to account for at all times. And they do

343
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 9: a great job of moving around. I mean, you can

344
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 9: do everything, so you have to account for everything.

345
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.

346
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: There's just nobody else in the league like McCaffrey. I mean,

347
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: it really isn't simp in Carolina days, there's nobody like him.

348
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: Now, Interestingly, some Niners fans have dug into it. So

349
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: in that earlier meeting San Fran at Seattle Week one,

350
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 5: the Niners lost Juwan Jennings and Kittle in that game,

351
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 5: remember the game winning catches by Jake Tungus, who nobody

352
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 5: had ever heard of. Yep, So if Kittle's able to play,

353
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 5: we know Jennings is played, all of a sudden, you've

354
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 5: got your full arsenal guys.

355
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 7: I think that's a big edge for the Niners Colin.

356
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 5: I know people want to say, well, you know, the

357
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 5: defense can't stop anybody can Seattle stop or slow this

358
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 5: Diners offense. They're a juggernut. Now, the defenses they faced

359
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: Colts Bears not elite. Seattle's pretty elite, would you.

360
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: Say, yeah, Seattle's defense, Chicago's like gives up big plays.

361
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: The Bears defense is a liability. It's not even a

362
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: it's it's a problem. That's what's going to keep the

363
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: Bears out of winning multiple playoff games is their defense.

364
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: They get they get gash for big plays at bad spots.

365
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 5: Now, remember just a few weeks ago the Rams had

366
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 5: thirty points through what three quarters against Seattle on the road,

367
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 5: and earlier this season, Baker Mayfield, when he was hot,

368
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 5: went to Seattle and I think they scored thirty five

369
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 5: or thirty eight points. So it can be done. Let's

370
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: not act like they're the eighty five Bears here, that's right.

371
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 5: I just can we make a handshake agreement that whoever

372
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 5: wins will not just totally trash the opposing quarterback.

373
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: Come on, man, I need you.

374
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 5: If Donald somehow wins this, I don't want this to

375
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 5: be an indictment of Rock Perdy.

376
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: No, and I'm not gonna hammer Donald. You know, I

377
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: like him.

378
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 7: He was a former Jet.

379
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

380
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: No, I think it's a very compared I think it's

381
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: a I think it qualifies one of the better pro

382
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: football games in America this year.

383
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: Well, there's also so much at stake.

384
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 5: The number one seed is massive, just enormous in the NFC,

385
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: which is a gone.

386
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: Well, especially a number one seed.

387
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: If you're San Francisco dude, Trent Kittle, Yeah, Seattle is

388
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: not better off with time off. Seattle's young, they want

389
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: to play. San Francisco could use a week off. There

390
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: is no question. Philadelphia and San Francisco were two of

391
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: the only teams in the league could use time off.

392
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 5: Colin, You go from hosting a game and getting a buye,

393
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 5: hosting every game and getting a buye to on the

394
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 5: road next week, Like that's that's totally different. One of

395
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 5: them might have to go to Philadelphia across the country.

396
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 5: Final story, Colin, let's go to Trayvon Diggs. The Cowboys

397
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 5: dumped him earlier this week, and guess what, the Green

398
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 5: Bay Packers scooped him up.

399
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 7: I think we might have predicted that here on the show.

400
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 5: Matt Lafleur, how about this one hasn't ruled out the

401
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: possibility of Diggs playing in the regular season finale. Now

402
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 5: we know the Packers' defense is really beat up and

403
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 5: diggs production has not been great this season, but he's

404
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 5: confidence in bouncing back after a change of scenery.

405
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 10: I'll just be myself, you know, be who I know

406
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 10: I am. Go out there and perform, and everything will

407
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 10: take care of yourself, you know, not chasing accolades or

408
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 10: not chasing anything I'm chasing, you know, being a better meet,

409
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 10: being better every day, you know, helping us to it

410
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 10: feels good, you know. Is I want to be comfortable

411
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 10: with being uncomfortable with being somewhere that you know I've

412
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 10: never been before. Just starting over, starting fresh, you know,

413
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 10: a clean slave.

414
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Colin, we talked a little bit about teams that

415
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 5: are rested and beat up. I went back and looked,

416
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 5: do you want to guess who had the earliest buy

417
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: this season week five with the first week.

418
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: Of eyes green Bay? Green Bay?

419
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 5: Then now also Chicago that week at the earliest buy

420
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 5: in Pittsburgh. So those are teams that have been playing

421
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 5: straight through for three months now. I think that shouldn't

422
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 5: factor into the handicap for anybody who's betting next week

423
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 5: in the wildcard round.

424
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: All right, good note J Mack with a news. Well

Speaker 2: Great to have you in Happy New Year.

432
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: Everybody yesterday was just you know it is college football

433
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: has got a lot of fans who were really really

434
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: traditional driven, and I mean for about a fifteen year period,

435
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: all we got in college football, let's be honest about it,

436
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: was Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama maybe throwing an LSU.

437
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: And now we get Oregon, and we get Ole Miss,

438
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: and we get Indiana and we get Miami, and that's

439
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, like college basketball sells mythology that all these

440
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: different teams have a chance to win it, but it's

441
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: always number one, two or three seeds occasionally a four

442
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: in college football. I don't think anybody in November first

443
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: thought Miami and Ole Miss we're gonna be here, especially

444
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: with Lane Kiffen leaving.

445
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: So the new reality in the.

446
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: Sport is Georgia can't stop a good offense, Bama can't run.

447
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people are saying Kaylen de

448
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: Bor's in trouble. Kaylnd Bor is a great coach. He's

449
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: a great coach Alabama. Let's be totally honest. Scott worked

450
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: beginning to end quarterback o line run game. If you

451
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: watched Alabama, watched them a half dozen times, they couldn't

452
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: run the football all year. You're not a national championship team.

453
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: I think you have to play real defense to win

454
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: a Natty. Ole Miss can't win the Natty. Oregon could.

455
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: But I think.

456
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: Indiana Miami feel in this day and age NFL guys

457
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: all over the field really physical first above everything else,

458
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: and I think they should be favored.

459
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 2: Didn't Oregon just pitch a shutout?

460
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: Though?

461
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 7: I mean that that defense shocked me. The kid in

462
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 7: the back end with duepick.

463
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 5: No.

464
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Oregon recruits to the high level, but they don't.

465
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean to me, they played with their food that game.

466
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: If Indiana played Texas Tech, do you have any doubt

467
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: it would have been forty five to nothing.

468
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: I mean it just they were ohringing.

469
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

470
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 5: But the Dante Moore angle against Mendoza essentially, I don't

471
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 5: want to say four to the number one pick, but

472
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 5: this is a chance for Dante Moore to be like, Hey,

473
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 5: I'm that guy.

474
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: Jmac with the nude. Oh excuse me, my bad. We

475
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: go to headlines today Tomorrow's headlines Today lost mice. It's

476
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: the new year, you know. I mean, everybody's a little fuzzy.

477
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: I had so many chicken and en gelados last night.

478
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: So listen, you got your five picks. I've had a

479
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: very good season. I need to have a winning record. I

480
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: want to feel good with my last blazing five. This

481
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: is your I mean, we you're gonna do more in

482
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but this is a full slate of game

483
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: a lot of them with backups. So it's a very

484
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: treacherous week to make picks.

485
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 5: You like to say, you don't like to bet week one.

486
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 5: You don't want to do a blazing five Week one, right,

487
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 5: that's the one you want to punch on.

488
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: This is the one you don't want.

489
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 5: This is the one I don't like because everybody I

490
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 5: just saw one. Dale Robinson's out for the Giants. I

491
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 5: know people are like, who He's had a great season,

492
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 5: and I love the Giants. Glad they did not put

493
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 5: them in headlines. But yeah, it's very difficult to find

494
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 5: out who who's playing.

495
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 2: Okay, Panthers box is your first game up?

496
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they just met a couple of weeks ago,

497
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 5: Panthers with a surprising victory.

498
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: This one's for the division.

499
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 5: The headline for Panthers Buccaneers will be Airbnb Bryce out

500
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 5: battles Baker for Southern sweep Colin I'm doing it. I'm

501
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 5: taking Carolina on the road to win outright. I just

502
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 5: you know, we joked that Tampa's been leaking oil. No way,

503
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 5: this is like the Titanic taking on water. I mean,

504
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 5: they haven't covered in eight straight weeks. They can't get

505
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 5: anything right. This Baker injury that he won't talk about,

506
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 5: clearly something's wrong with him.

507
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: What happened to Abuca?

508
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 5: He was having an unbelievable year. He kind of just

509
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 5: stopped catching passes. They're not looking at him anymore. I

510
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 5: don't know what's going on with Tampa. So I'm taking Carolina.

511
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 5: And of course Carolina had fifty four yards passing last

512
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 5: week against Seattle. However, some fun stats Carolina has he

513
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 5: wins as an underdog most in the Super Bowl era.

514
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

515
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: And also after a loss of season seven or zero

516
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 5: against the spread, Canalis has his guys bouncing back. Rico

517
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 5: Dwell I saw needs like seven scrimmage yards to trigger

518
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: a one million dollar bonus.

519
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 7: Hello, So I'm gonna go with Carolina.

520
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: On the road.

521
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 7: Take it down, Tampa.

522
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: I like it.

523
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today, Listen, I know the side you're on.

524
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: I want to hear the Seahawks at the Niners.

525
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 4: Oh.

526
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 5: We go back and forth on this all week, all season.

527
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 5: Really with these two. You love Seattle, I love the

528
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 5: other team. The headline for Niners Seahawks will be halfmcalfe

529
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 5: Seattle jittery after pot of pendy. You know, I'm a

530
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 5: brock pretty guy. Hey man, listen, it's undeniable Colin. He

531
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 5: has been so good since he's back. We saw the

532
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 5: Niners do well with mac Jones, better than treading water. Well,

533
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 5: now they get rock Perdy and they make the jump

534
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 5: to light speed and they have been unbelievable in the

535
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 5: month of December. I just can't go against this team

536
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 5: right now. Now. Obviously, if they don't have Kittle or

537
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 5: Trent Williams, that's not great. It sounds like, you know,

538
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 5: parsing words from Shanahan. He thinks Trent Williams will play.

539
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 5: Kittle is going to try to give it a go.

540
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: But if they.

541
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 5: Get that win at home Boy, having the number one seed,

542
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 5: not having to leave Santa Clara, that would be enormous.

543
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Colin.

544
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 5: I saw Sam Donald late last year and he kind

545
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 5: of fell apart, and I saw it in the playoffs,

546
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 5: and then we started to see it a lot this month.

547
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 5: They got lucky against the Rams the punt return. Things

548
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 5: bounce their way. I can't go against San Fray in here,

549
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 5: and I will just say it's Kyle Shanahan seven and

550
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: one straight up, six and two against the spread. He's

551
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 5: dominated Seattle of late, not all those against McDonald.

552
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 7: I do want to go back to that first meeting, though.

553
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 5: Boso was a monster, had a sack, three tackles for loss,

554
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 5: force fumble. Now he's out. What can Sala do to

555
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 5: find a Bosa? You can't find one of those on

556
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 5: the bench. You're gonna have to do something exotic. Do

557
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 5: you remember what he did against Caleb on the final play?

558
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 5: He rushed to Caleb was like, what's going on? Robert

559
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 5: Sala dropped defensive tackles that the goal line in the coverage.

560
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 5: It was masterful. Can he dial up something like that?

561
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 5: I'm going with San France as an underdog.

562
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today Colts Texans on Sunday.

563
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: Who you got?

564
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 10: Now?

565
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: Listen?

566
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 5: We talk about riding hot teams. One of these teams

567
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 5: is hot, the other most definitely not. The headline for

568
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 5: Colts Texans in the AFC South will be the Frio

569
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 5: Grande Texans float.

570
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: By Chili Rivers.

571
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers obviously not starting their turning to Riley Leonard.

572
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Remember how much you loved him in noted. Do you

573
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: want to watch him plays? I think he's an interesting prospect.

574
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you want to watch him run for his life

575
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 5: against will Anderson and Hunter coming off the edge.

576
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 7: The Colts are just a sad story.

577
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: Man.

578
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 5: They went all in with Sauce Gardner and then it

579
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 5: fell apart. Daniel Jones got hurt and Sauce Gardner got hurt.

580
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 5: Sausage looks like he will play here. I just I'm

581
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 5: gonna ride with the Texans. Some things to watch. I

582
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 5: think Demico Ryans. He's had some hot starts, including last

583
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 5: week against the Chargers, but then they've tailed off.

584
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: You've got to keep that momentum.

585
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 5: Unbelievable stat Collins, so inside the five yard line, Texans

586
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 5: have been terrible in the red zone. Inside the five,

587
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 5: they have twenty three carries for four yards this season,

588
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 5: three touchdowns. They can't figure it out the offensive line

589
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 5: camp block. They've got to nail that down heading into

590
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 5: the postseason. This feels to me like a twenty seven

591
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 5: to nine type Texans win, win with the defense, and

592
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 5: prevail and head to the postseason.

593
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines Today, you told me to keep my eye

594
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: on this one. I did Brown's Bengals in Sincy.

595
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's only one game I really like, and that's

596
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 5: this one, Bengals hosting the Browns. The headline for Sincey

597
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 5: and Cleveland will be schinre at the thought since he's

598
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 5: skyline too Chili for Browns. Nice worked by the artistic

599
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 5: team there.

600
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Burrow here. Listen. If there's a.

601
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 5: Team trying hard late in the season, especially since Burrow

602
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 5: came back four out of five games, they've topped thirty points.

603
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're trying to save Zach Taylor's

604
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 5: job or what. Seems like he's probably safe due to

605
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 5: the cheap ownership, but they have looked good late in

606
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 5: the season, and I know Cleveland's good at home.

607
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: Right, five and one against the spread.

608
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 5: Is a dog this season at home, you go on

609
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 5: the road, one in five is an underdog. How about

610
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 5: this six and eighteen against the spread on the road.

611
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: The last two years, they just don't seem to show up. Obviously,

612
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 5: the Miles Garrett situation will be fun to watch. Maybe

613
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 5: Burrow takes a sack early. I think he gets the

614
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 5: record and we move on. But by the way, Shaduur

615
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 5: likely to be down three offensive linemen Yep and Harold

616
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 5: Fannin the good rookie tight end Djoku.

617
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: Were going to be out.

618
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 5: We know the running backs injured after they lost fann

619
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 5: In to injury. They didn't have a drive last week

620
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 5: over forty yards. There just aren't any guys. I think

621
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 5: this is Bengals thirty five to ten.

622
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: Finally, tomorrow's headlines today at Sunday night, Ravens Lamar are.

623
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: Supposed to play against.

624
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: The surviving Steelers.

625
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 5: I guess somebody's gonna get beat up badly on Monday.

626
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 5: Here by you the headline for Steelers Ravens on Sunday,

627
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 5: and I will be less is Lamar Ravens come up

628
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 5: short with QB back. I'm going with the Steelers here.

629
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 5: It's not a super confident play, but Mike Tomlin against

630
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 5: John Harbaugh is an underdog four fourteen and three against

631
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 5: the spread. Basically, just take the dog in this series.

632
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 5: I think Pittsburgh is not a good football team, but

633
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 5: I don't think much of Baltimore Colin. I know people

634
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 5: are making the case, hey, get Lamar into the playoffs,

635
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 5: they're going to have a shot. I don't know, man,

636
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 5: I think Pittsburgh wins this outright. I mean it's kind

637
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 5: of a risky call. Pittsburgh did beat them a few

638
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 5: weeks ago, but when they beat them, Lamar was there,

639
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 5: Derrek Henry was there. So I just you know, the

640
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 5: DK Metcalf loss obviously is a big one. But Arthur Smith,

641
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 5: I think can dial up some stuff here. Sixteen thirteen Steelers.

642
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's you know, I've been thinking about this

643
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. I was watching college football

644
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: and how much the games mattered. You know, there's a

645
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: lot of talk they're going to extend the season to

646
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: eighteen games, and I'm like, guy that this week is

647
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: last two weeks have been like choppy.

648
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 5: By the way, are you surprised that they made this

649
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 5: the month the Sunday night game as opposed to Seahawks Niners.

650
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 5: I'm just guessing it's because of the markets and the

651
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 5: East Coast.

652
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: You know, larger audis it's the TV audience.

653
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 7: The better game is Seattle Sanfrand oh.

654
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: I meant Bears Niners last week was maybe the game

655
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: of the year. So I expect more of the same

656
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: Seattle's defense, Niners offense. I think it's just it's gonna

657
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: be big numbers.

658
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 5: It's gonna be sometimes the league it feels like prioritizes

659
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 5: TV audience overall, just so they can brag about ratings.

660
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 5: But Seattle Sanfrin is an amazing game, and I think

661
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 5: that should be Sunday night. Plus the Niners could use

662
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 5: an extra day of rest.

663
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things I.

664
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: Thought Indiana would hammer Alabama, but I thought Fernando Mandoza

665
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: really put a stamp on the game. You know, I

666
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: love mock drafts. I literally read them every day. If

667
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: you don't think for I know Mendoza is going number one.

668
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. If you don't

669
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: think he's a first round quarterback, I don't have to

670
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: tell you. Don't overthink through. I remember when Andrew Luck

671
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: came out. I don't think he's as good as Hendrew Luck.

672
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: But when Andrew Luck came out, there were people like,

673
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't know about his arm I'm like it was fine.

674
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: Mendoes is big, he can move well enough. I think

675
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: his arm strength is good. This is a pro style offense,

676
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: so he's an easy guy to do comps for.

677
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: It's an easy guy to read.

678
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm just really interested to see because

679
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: I am shocked at the people who thought Alabama could

680
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: win this game. I'm shocked at the pushback on Fernando Mendoz.

681
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: I've always trusted my instincts on this quarterback stuff. It's

682
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: just the way he sets up the velocity. I mean,

683
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: he never like he always it's really hard to intercept

684
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: his ball, Like in the end zone he throws that

685
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: he makes sure his guy only can catch it. Here's

686
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: RG three earlier on Mendoza.

687
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 11: I love Fernando Mendoza because Bannana Mendoza knows who he is,

688
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 11: and I've seen some of the memes of like he

689
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 11: sounds like chat GBT when you ask him a question

690
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 11: after a game. It's funny. It really is funny. But

691
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 11: the thing I love about him is he's going to process.

692
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 11: He's gonna do it well. He's gonna do what his

693
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 11: team needs. Him to do. I think he's a first

694
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 11: round pick. I think he's a top ten pick. I

695
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 11: think coaches are going.

696
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: To love him. He's a big kid. Like you said,

697
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: size does.

698
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 11: Matter, but he can make every throw on the field,

699
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 11: and he's not afraid of the big moments.

700
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 5: Colin, let me ask you a quick question here. So

701
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 5: let's say Mendoza goes one to the Raiders. Let's say

702
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: Pete Carroll is pushed out. If you're the Raiders, don't

703
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 5: you at least have to call Kurt Signetti and just ask, hey, man,

704
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 5: I know Indiana's paying you ten twelve million.

705
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 7: Dollars, do you have any interest in the NFL?

706
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: Can he?

707
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 7: I mean, what he's done in two years is one

708
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 7: of the great storms.

709
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: It's college.

710
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: There's I mean, Brian Flores top my list, Mike McCarthy,

711
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: I think Jeff Halfley.

712
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 5: So a lot of people are down with a retread.

713
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 5: And that's not negative against these guys that.

714
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Athley has coached college, so he gets the college game.

715
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: And what did he do in Boston College?

716
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 7: I mean, I didn't see anything like Kurt Signetti.

717
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they don't. They don't care about football like

718
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: big ten teams care about football, even at Indiana, Indy,

719
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: you don't even want to ask him. Wouldn't be my choice?

720
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: Would I would ask him at any college football job,

721
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: including Bama.

722
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean, but I think you know.

723
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: Indiana's got a very good business school, Mark Cuban. Obviously,

724
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: there's two or three families lined up. This is what

725
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: the NIL allows for Texas, Tech and Indiana. Everybody said,

726
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: all the rich will get richer with the NIL. Well,

727
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: how much richer and dominant could Georgia get? I love Miami, Indiana,

728
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: old Miss Oregon.

729
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I cannot wait. Have a great week y,
