1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: And welcome to lakeig Is Live.

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: It is Sunday night, November twentieth. Fie O Our Lord,

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. You should have known. You should have

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 2: known the moment Ghost Casuals told you this would be

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: a boring weekend. You should have known exactly what was coming.

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: You didn't know where it was coming, but you knew

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: it was coming. Why because we don't suffer from the

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: same amnesia the rest of the college football public apparently

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: suffers from.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: And we know how this thing works.

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: We are jam packed, We are high top a victorious

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Why because one of the hottest teams

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 2: in college football resides like four or five blocks down

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: the road. It's do November. Check those calendar's friends. It

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: is and has been for two weeks. Now do November.

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: Will enough teams limp into this four team playoff? That's

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: one of the things I'm going to talk to you

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: about tonight. As everyone else out there argues with me,

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: we got to go to eight or twelve over sixteen. Hey,

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: I'm just looking around on a Saturday and mid November

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: saying you're gonna find four of them before you get

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: the eight or twelve.

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna find four of them.

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: A lot of upsets, a lot more close to the

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: wire near upsets. Just not a shocking result yesterday, but

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: a phenomenal ending to a football game in Waco, Texas.

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: We will talk about all of it. We got full

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: Week twelve reaction. I have got takeaways from coast to coast.

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: I mean, we were in Los Angeles last night, Pasadena

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: to be exact, for a classic, an instant classic between

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: USC and UCLA, and sure enough we were back in

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Nashville by eight o'clock this morning. Thus the magic kids

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: of the Red Eye flight. However, they call it a

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: red Eye for a reason, because no one around here

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: has slept. So we have got our trustee, Chalice of

36
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: Supremacy with the questionable orange liquid, and it and it alone.

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Will power us through the rest of this show.

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: They're watching us in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Chuliavista, California, Rochester, Minnesota, Tallahassee, Florida.

39
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: Notice something different about the channel here on YouTube. Yes,

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: shortly after the show Thursday night, we hit one hundred

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand subs, So I don't have that cover

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: three Chip Patterson confetti to rain down all over us.

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: But just imagine confetti raining down. Maybe you're in your

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: bedroom and I don't know what the confetti was doing

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: there to begin with.

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: That's your business, not mine.

47
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: But we're multipurposing your bedroom confetti because we've got one

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty k subs. If you're driving around listening

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: to the podcast tomorrow, a little less conspicuous confetti in

50
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 2: the truck. Appreciate you, guys, because we probably no one

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: actually here ever planned on getting to that point this soon.

52
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: So now you know what my end of the bargain is.

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: I've got to fulfill on whatever you come up with

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: as your own prize. So I'm gonna listen to you

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: for a few days. Figure out amongst yourselves over in

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: the corner, figure out what you want. I told you

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: my idea would be for you to come up with

58
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: some collaborative effort that we could do over December.

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: But that's my idea. You choose whatever you want.

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: And then if we find some consensus amongst the mob,

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: then we'll roll with that as long as it's within reason.

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: Like you know, if you want me to give away

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 2: the company's money, okay, it's their money.

64
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Not my money, but let's figure it out. I'm gonna

65
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: give you a.

66
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: Little while no rush, but thank you so much for that. Now,

67
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: I guess the drive to two hundred K has begun.

68
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: We'll just up the value of the prize every time.

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: This is going to be a tough opening to the

70
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: show for some of us, especially around here, but we

71
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: got to do it. Okay, So Colin, earmuff yourself as

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: you punch the show in there. South Carolina just splattered Tennessee.

73
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: Yet last night, sixty three to thirty eight was the.

74
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: Final score here.

75
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: So let's hit the rewind button, as we often do

76
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: on this program, and let's go back to what do

77
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: you want to say? Thursday, Friday, whatever. Let's go back

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: to Friday morning. You and I go out favorite coffee

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: shop on the corner Main Street, and we get ourselves

80
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: a nice cup of coffee. Maybe you get a bagel,

81
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: maybe you get some cinnamon toast, and I tell you, hey,

82
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: I got something.

83
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: I got something you need to know.

84
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: Lean In, I've already seen how this game plays out.

85
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: I've got the final score. Do you want the final score?

86
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: You say, yeah, I want the final score. Well, the

87
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: final score is sixty three to thirty eight, and you

88
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: say that sounds about right.

89
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: You know these two teams.

90
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: Tennessee's really explosive, and if they're scoring that much, they

91
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: don't really care how much South Carolina and this sh

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: I just put my index finger over your lips and

93
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: I say, finish your muffin. I told you it's sixty

94
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: three to thirty eight. I didn't tell you who was

95
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: hanging sixty three though. And then you look at me

96
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: and you go, no, surely, surely not the team that

97
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: failed to score an offensive point a week ago against Florida.

98
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: Surely that's not the team it's getting over halfway to

99
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: one hundred.

100
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: Well, yes it is, Yes it is.

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: There are some very very violent numbers being shown currently

102
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: on the screen there. This was a landmark win. You

103
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: know the rule around here we talk about the winners first,

104
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: and the winner definitively. In this match up South Carolina,

105
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to acknowledge that this was a really, really

106
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: big win for Shane Beemer and company. It was, but

107
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: I need you to meet me halfway. Okay, we got

108
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: to barter here a little bit. I need you to

109
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: acknowledge as I talk about how big this win was

110
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: for you, guys, none of you expected it.

111
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: I have the DMS to prove it.

112
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: Some of your very very high profile public figures up

113
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: there were kind of sort of on record going into

114
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: game week about talking about how bad the score was

115
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: going to be. And look, Tennessee did put up a

116
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 2: big number. It didn't matter because there was no shot.

117
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: They were keeping up with you. Spencer Rattler essentially played

118
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: the brand of football that got everyone excited when he

119
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: was coming out of high school and then got everyone

120
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: re excited when he was transferring from Oklahoma to South Carolina.

121
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: But a lot of you thought they'd get smashed.

122
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm right there with you to the point where when

123
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: we were formatting the Thursday Night show, Colin, you remember this.

124
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: You and I looked at this Tennessee South Carolina game

125
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: and said, do we put it in the upsettle alert segment?

126
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: And I voted no? I voted no. Why I didn't

127
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: think there was a shot? I just didn't.

128
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: This is the most bizarre, mind jarring outcome that I've

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: seen in a long time.

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Understand what we witnessed.

131
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: We witnessed a multi touchdown like a three touchdown favorite lose.

132
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: By twenty five, just out of nowhere.

133
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: Tennessee lost to Georgia and had gotten themselves right back

134
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: up off the day South Carolina played horrifically a week before,

135
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: which goes to show you what mem said once upon

136
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: a time still carries every bit as much weight today

137
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: as it did when she first said it. And that

138
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: is nothing about November has to make sense. Nothing in

139
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: college football in November has to make sense.

140
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: It just is. It wasn't even just this game yesterday.

141
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: There was a lot of stuff all around the country

142
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: that didn't make sense unless you understand that it doesn't

143
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: have to make sense. Thirty five first downs for South Carolina.

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: These are the game drives versus Tennessee. Leave this up

145
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: for a second because it's going to take me a

146
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: second to read it.

147
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: Colin.

148
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: This is going to jolt you if you're driving around

149
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: listening on podcasts. These were the drives for the game.

150
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: Cuts touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. Then they ran out

151
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: of time, they had to go to the locker room

152
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: for a little while, Then they came out cold and

153
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: they had to punt. Then they get back on track. Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,

154
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: end of game. There is no turnover on downs, there's

155
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: no interception. There is one three and out conspicuously placed

156
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: in there, and then the rest of their possessions go

157
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: for seven wild wild stuff. November is the deep end.

158
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: Talked about it coming into last week. November is the

159
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: deep end. The thing about Tennessee is I just thought

160
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: they could swim. I think all of us did, especially

161
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 2: after you had seen them re establish, reassert themselves after

162
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: the Georgia game. So South Carolina's sitting up there and

163
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: they're in the most wounded of wounded animal modes.

164
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I just didn't think it would matter.

165
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: Like I didn't think that they could be I did

166
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: not think there was enough motivation. I didn't think there

167
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: was a level of being fired up enough that would

168
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: matter because I didn't think they could execute like that offensively.

169
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: We haven't seen it all year. Comes out of nowhere.

170
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler is out of his mind.

171
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: He is Steven Garcia against Alabama in twenty ten, out

172
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: of his mind. But November ends up drowning Tennessee. And

173
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 2: what really put just a big damper on the ending

174
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: is not only are they out of the college football

175
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: playoff conversation, they lose Hendon hooker for the season with

176
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: an ACL tear. So that's not any news that anyone

177
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: wanted to see today. Yeah, he's been one of the

178
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: most fun players to watch in college football this year.

179
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: He's been part of a reclamation project there and I

180
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: think he's established himself. If he never plays another down there,

181
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: obviously he's established himself.

182
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: But it was one of the this is gonna sound high.

183
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: I just don't think it is.

184
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: It's one of the worst losses in the recent memory

185
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: for this program because of the magnitude of it. They've

186
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: had a lot of bad losses, but those teams weren't good.

187
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: This team was headed to the playoff.

188
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: This team had odds on favorite juice to make the

189
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: college football playoff. And you're talking about seeding, and you're

190
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: talking about getting your starters some work, and you're talking

191
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: about avoiding injury, and all of a sudden, just out

192
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: of nowhere, baseball back to the face in Columbia. The

193
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: sport does not guarantee everyone a window. Okay, So this

194
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: is part two of the depression today for a Tennessee fan,

195
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: I know what after the anger subsides, you will be

196
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: tempted to do. And I would think the same way.

197
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: If I were you, I would think to myself, Okay,

198
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: oh well, we didn't get the job done this year,

199
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: but this is just the beginning, you know. So anything

200
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 2: that we achieved this year that was just going to

201
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: be a cherry on top of what is to come

202
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: down the road. Now I've got confidence in the direction

203
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: of that program. Don't misunderstand me, but I know this

204
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: sport does not guarantee anyone a window. You're not guaranteed

205
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: that things will just automatically improve five percent, seven percent,

206
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: ten percent.

207
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: Do we think they will? Yeah, I think that.

208
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: There are more talented versions of Tennessee down the road.

209
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: I think Josh Hipel will have a better collection of

210
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: raw talent, but I can't guarantee you he'll have a

211
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: better team, because teams are made up of far more

212
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: than just talent. One of the most impressive things Lincoln

213
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: Riley has done is proved just that he's got a

214
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: lot of talent and it is gelled into a really

215
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: really good team. And Josh Hipel took these pieces and

216
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: gelled them into a really really good team. He'll have

217
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: more talent down the road, but I don't just assume

218
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: they'll be right back in the thick of it every year.

219
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: That's why this stuff is so crushing, because when you're there,

220
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: you got to take advantage of it. Hopefully you will

221
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: have a five or seven year, ten year window, but

222
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: that's not always the way it happen. Happens, and history

223
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: has taught us that. It really irritates me. We did

224
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: not feature this on upset Alert. Okay, So Shane Beemer

225
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: really interesting conversation around South Carolina right now. The fan

226
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: base has been so conflicted because the offense has been terrible,

227
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: non functional at times, and then they go last night

228
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: and they do something radically different than anyone has seen

229
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: them do all year. And so if you just look

230
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: at the numbers, you may think to yourself, well, I

231
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 2: was calling for overturn in the offensive coaching staff, but

232
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: now I look at these numbers.

233
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Maybe they got it figured out.

234
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: And then you get a little deeper into the weeds

235
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: and you realize, ah, maybe it was just more collaborative effort.

236
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: There were a couple of programs last night, by the way,

237
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: and in big statement, wins that may have shifted around

238
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: some play calling, shifted around some offensive functionality. Whatever you

239
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: got to do to win, do it. But that's this year.

240
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: How does it bleed into December? Any decisions that we're

241
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: going to be made that are still going to be

242
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 2: made despite this result?

243
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: You get where I'm going there.

244
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 2: How about this week Tennessee without Hendon Hooker, remember that

245
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: is on the road. Who do they play at the

246
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: worst possible time, Vanderbilt in Nashville. What do you think

247
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: the number is? Even with the Hooker news? What do

248
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: you think the number is? The number is Tennessee minus

249
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: about sixteen or seventeen right now, depending on where you look. Meanwhile,

250
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: South Carolina goes to Clemson and Clemson's favored by two touchdowns. Careful, careful,

251
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: you don't have to bet that right now. It's okay.

252
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: You can think about it a little while, cause the

253
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: chum is in the water. Let someone else, Let someone

254
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: else come swimming up first. Just find your time a

255
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: little bit. Let's see how the market plays out this week.

256
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm not moving on the either one of those games.

257
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: I know where the temptation will be. I'm not moving

258
00:12:52,880 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: on either one of them. Speaking of movement, man, a

259
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: lot of you moved yesterday in West Virginia and down

260
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: in Tampa, down in the Florida area. We opened two

261
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: new Academy Sports and Outdoors locations yesterday, and I have

262
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: got a mountain of submissions to sift through. I've already

263
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: awarded a few Chili of Supremacy. I've given out about

264
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: four or five, and I got at least five more

265
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: to give out. The rule around here is if you

266
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: prove that you go to one of the new grand

267
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: openings and you submit proof to us, you are in

268
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: the running for one of those bad boys, a childie

269
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: of Supremacy. And man, you guys flooded them yesterday. I

270
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: don't know who got more foot traffic, and we'll wait

271
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: to get the numbers. I'm going to go meet with

272
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: them tomorrow. Actually, I got to fly down to Houston

273
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: in the morning. Get to excuse me, get to fly

274
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: down to Houston, and we'll be in College Station the

275
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: next two days. But yeah, they were impressed, and I

276
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: was impressed. So Academy Sports and Outdoors your one stop

277
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: shop for all all of your life's needs. I had

278
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: one of you hit me up from Ohio today and

279
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: you said, I love the inclusion of Academy. I love

280
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: that they make the show free for me. But I

281
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: don't have an Academy here. While that's true, you do

282
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: have one of those and I am tapping on my

283
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: laptop or you got one of these. Maybe not an

284
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: eye Josh, but you've got an iPhone or a cellular

285
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: device with internet access at the very least Academy dot Com.

286
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: That's it, and that's all boom.

287
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: You're one stop shop, and you would just be fascinated

288
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: at what you can find on there that you.

289
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: Never were raised to believe you could find at a mere.

290
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: Sporting goods store. Well, it's more than just a sporting

291
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: good store. And those of us who frequent the place

292
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: know that. I want you to know it too, and

293
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: I want you to know it not only because of that,

294
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: but because.

295
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: They make everything you see here possible.

296
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: We are lifelong partners, I hope at this point with

297
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors.

298
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue to roll.

299
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, man this next game, the

300
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: chill bump on the spine, you know, the hair on

301
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: the back of your neck standing up. It accomplished all

302
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: of it. TCU twenty nine, Baylor twenty eight.

303
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: How in the w world.

304
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: Did Sunny Dyke's team figure out a way to win

305
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: this but that's not the question a lot of you

306
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: were asking heading into Saturday, was it?

307
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: No?

308
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: The familiar refrain later in the week last week, as

309
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: this number ticked down from three.

310
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: It was two and a half. How how? How? How

311
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: can TC you only be a two and a half

312
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: point favorite? What had we just seen? We saw him

313
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: go on the road.

314
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: And handle Texas in Austin, and we saw Baylor get

315
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: smashed at home by Kansas State. And what did we learn?

316
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: What did mem I tell you? Nothing about November has

317
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: to make sense, and nothing.

318
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: About last week matters.

319
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: This was the million and first examples happened a million times.

320
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: This was just a million and one.

321
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: Of Oddsmaker's understanding what far too often the more casual

322
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: general publican college football does not understand. Last week just

323
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. People get so caught up in the more

324
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: merit based thinking, the more merit based concept, which is fine,

325
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: that's what rankings are of. We got to go by

326
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: what we just most recently saw. Meanwhile, odds makers, they've

327
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: got a set of numbers that constitute a team, and

328
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: then you just got one little result last week. That's

329
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: not enough to move them off their opinion of a team.

330
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: So Baylor, I mean, they've got Baylor a few points

331
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: below TCU power ratings wise, TCU looks great.

332
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: Baylor gets drug unmercifully.

333
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: Odds makers aren't moving off that more than maybe a

334
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: point and a half, maybe two points, And so they

335
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: threw the number out there because they know how this

336
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: stuff works. They don't have to guess their way through this.

337
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: And what's funny is the amnesia that sets in. It's permanent.

338
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: It happens every time. Because there were a ton of

339
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: folks on TCU yesterday and you thought they were going

340
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: down there and they were just gonna roll Baylor, and

341
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: that was not the case.

342
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: But you know what they did do. They found a

343
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: way to win.

344
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: And if you watched this game, you saw them down

345
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: eight I think they were. And so they get it

346
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: to within two and they go for the two point

347
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 2: conversion and it's late in the game and they don't

348
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 2: get it.

349
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: And this they get the ball back, they get in.

350
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 2: Field goal ranch and this sequence here with no timeouts,

351
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: can't spike it because it's fourth down. They're like six

352
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: five four three two seconds left, and they go true

353
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: walk off field goal. Now, this was the talk of

354
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: college football yesterday. The final sequence of this game you're

355
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: watching it, if you're watching on YouTube, this is how

356
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: it actually played out, and it looks like chaos, but

357
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 2: very controlled chaos. Now, I think there may be a

358
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: little bit of criticism to be given out, and the

359
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: criticism is I don't think that's how they drew it up.

360
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why, Colin. If you could roll

361
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: that again, I don't know how many times we're going

362
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: to loop it. So the one thing that you do

363
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 2: notice is most of the time, when you're gonna send

364
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: a guy out to kick a field goal, game winning

365
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: or maybe in the second quarter, he's taking his usual

366
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 2: three steps back, two steps over to the left to

367
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 2: line himself up, and their kicker did not have the

368
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: opportunity to do that. And so when you look at

369
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: how rushed it was, Yeah, like I'm thinking to myself, no,

370
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: although they executed it, I'm guessing that they don't want

371
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: their kicker with they're season on the line, running out

372
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 2: there without so much as the ability to do more

373
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 2: than set himself. He didn't get a chance to properly

374
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: set himself. He literally had a chance to stand still

375
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: for a second so they could snap the ball, But

376
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: they got it done, and it was very obviously they

377
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: had worked on it before. Special teams work in practice

378
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: is not something that a lot of your local beat

379
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 2: rights about, even if they get to witness it. But

380
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: boy did it matter there. That was pretty heart stopping.

381
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: Look at that TCU contingent back there in the end zone.

382
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: That is at McLean Stadium, that's in Baylor, but they

383
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: traveled down from Fort Worth. I've made that drive myself. Construction, construction, construction,

384
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: but they're working on something pretty special in their own right.

385
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: And there you go by bubblegum, paper clip, hook or cook.

386
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: They keep getting the job done.

387
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: And I came into yesterday and I tweeted out a

388
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 2: clip that we had done on the show forty eight

389
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: hours earlier about how ridiculous.

390
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was and still do that.

391
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: The whole talking point, the whole narrative, which is a

392
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: word I hate around this team, is as long as

393
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: they go undefeated, then blah blah blah. Because I know

394
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: that wouldn't be the case if it were Oklahoma or Texas,

395
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 2: so branding clearly matters here. And yet we all know

396
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: one thing, regardless of how ridiculous that talk is it

397
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 2: is irrelevant as long as they do keep winning. And

398
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: they kept winning yesterday. So now what do we look at.

399
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 2: You got a season finale against Iowa State, and then

400
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: you got the Big twelve championship game. Looks like it's

401
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: going to be Kansas State. I think that's the way

402
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: that's working out. But TCU has afforded themselves the opportunity

403
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: to actually traffic in one of the big lies. One

404
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: of the big lies in college football is a win

405
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: is a win, because a win is not always a win.

406
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: If you beat a team.

407
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 2: You're favored by forty nine against by a field goal

408
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: versus beating them by four nine, those wins are not equal.

409
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: They are in the NFL, they're not equal in college

410
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: football because you get rated, you get ranked, you get

411
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: judged in the sport by a committee. But pcus at

412
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: the point where it does not matter if they win

413
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: by one point or a million, because they have afforded

414
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: themselves the luxury of having a win matter as long

415
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: as it's a win. So they do get to temporarily

416
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 2: tell one of the big three lies about their season

417
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 2: because they have afforded themselves the opportunity to do that.

418
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: PCU did need that now. Obviously moving forward though, with

419
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: all the other moving chairs on the deck, what could

420
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: happen because you know Tennessee is now a two loss team,

421
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: so you've got separation, You have got USC, which is

422
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: obviously going to vault up there, I would imagine into

423
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: the five spot. I think, don't qut me on playoff projections,

424
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: But you got Georgia, Ohio State Michigan are about to

425
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: play Saturday, and then there's TCU. I do not know,

426
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 2: is what I'm saying. How the commit would compare a

427
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: one loss TCU. See, here's the thing that one loss

428
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: TCU has could very well be in the conference championship game.

429
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: But here's the other fun part. USC, like everyone is

430
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: looking now that they beat UCLA, they're looking towards the

431
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: PAC twelve championship game because they locked up a spot

432
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: in it. They got to play Notre Dame this week.

433
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: The line on the games like five. Notre Dame's playing

434
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: their best ball of the season. For what that's worth.

435
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 2: What if USC lose another game, then they go and

436
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 2: win the PAC twelve. So there are a lot of

437
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: twist and turns still along the way. But TCU, man, congratulations,

438
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: I was I was at a lobby bar in a

439
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: Marriotte in Los Angeles, and it struck me that the

440
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: entire crowd there was glued to a TCU Baylor game

441
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: on an afternoon where the casuals told you.

442
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: Oh, it's going to be a yawn, it's going to

443
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: be a snoozer of a day. Nah. That lobby went crazy.

444
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: Neutral fans, I mean, just fans that either don't know

445
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: how to spell college football, they care about it so little,

446
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 2: or maybe they're a USC or UCLA. It was just

447
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: a great finish, just a very very climactic finish. So

448
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: congratulations to Sunny Dyke's and company. Floresville, Texas is tuned in. Dothan,

449

Speaker 2: Alabama and over Maryland also tuned in. Appreciate you guys,

450
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,399

Speaker 2: up button.

453
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: And help us.

454
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: On our road to two hundred thousand subs. Imagine what

455
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 2: will happen at two hundred K. I don't know, because

456
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: I don't even know what you're going to have happened

457
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: at one hundred and fifty k.

458
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: It is yet to be determined.

459
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: USC won a classic last night forty eight to forty five.

460
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: I was on the sideline for this one at the

461
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 2: Rose Bowl. It was not lost on me, a kid

462
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: from West central Georgia, what it means to stand on

463
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: the field of the Rose Bowl.

464
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that more in a second, but I

465
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: have I've.

466
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: Never been able to watch Caleb Williams from field level,

467
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 2: and now I have, and I get what the big

468
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: deal is. It wasn't shocking. I've seen him on TV

469
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 2: many many times, but they are right. I've heard a

470
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: few scouting types say, boy, the ball comes out of

471
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: his hand different when you're standing on the field, boy,

472
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 2: you can so tell how much his his subtle movement

473
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 2: sometimes in the pocket buys just that little extra bit

474
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: of time.

475
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: And then when you combine it with the fact that he.

476
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: Has a rocket attached to his body in the form

477
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 2: of an arm, and he can thread needles and tight

478
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: windows that most guys wouldn't even attempt to thread. He's

479
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: an NFL quarterback. He just happens to be playing college

480
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: football right now. Man, He's really good. He won this

481
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: game last night for USC no two ways about it.

482
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: And remember they come into this game without Travis Dye

483
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: and look Austin Jones running back steps up. I mean,

484
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: I'll talk about him in a second two. But Caleb Williams,

485
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: I want you to think about how this game started.

486
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: UCLA gets a two score lead, UFC has been down

487
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 2: in the red zone twice. They come away with zero points.

488
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: So that's the starting point. Like that's when he really

489
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: started to go to work. And after that he went off.

490
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: And at a certain point, I think it was Joel

491
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: Klatt I heard some of the broadcast. I was going

492
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 2: back and forth from the field to the media suite

493
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: because there's free food in there, that's why. And I

494
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 2: heard him say, hey, this has turned into those one

495
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: of those kinds of games where if you punt, you lose.

496
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: And that ended up pretty much being the case. And

497
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams was up to the challenge. Look at these numbers,

498
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: career high there in total yards, five hundred and three

499
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: total yards accounted for, he had four seventy through the air,

500
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: thirty two to forty three. UCLA just couldn't do enough.

501
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: And it's again it's a situation where Dorian Thompson Robinson

502
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: had good enough numbers except one column, and that's the

503
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: turnover column. But I don't think what some people realize

504
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: is usc like they've got this ridiculous turnover margin this year.

505
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: And you may think to yourself, they must be doing

506
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: something right defensively, and you can credit the defense, But

507
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: I credit Caleb Williams, I credit Lincoln Riley.

508
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: I credit the offense, because.

509
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: What happened again last wee is you got a team

510
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: in UCLA into a situation where they knew they had

511
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: to keep matching points. And even if you're conditioned to that,

512
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: even if that is the kind of offense that you

513
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: comfortable running anyway, it gets uncomfortable when you know you've

514
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: got to do just a little bit more. And over

515
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: the span of four quarters and multiple possessions, if you

516
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: can make someone press just a fraction more than they

517
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 2: otherwise would be able to, if you make them operate

518
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 2: on your terms instead of their terms, eventually what's going

519
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: to happen is that guy will try and reach for

520
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 2: a first down the otherwise wouldn't try and reach for it.

521
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: He'll try and throw a ball that he'd otherwise either

522
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: tuck and run or throw it away and live to

523
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: play another down. Why, Because there's pressure being put on

524
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: them to match you that's Cayleb Williams. He's not on

525
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: the field, he's not playing safety, your corner or anything

526
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 2: like that. But make no mistake, you see those turnovers.

527
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and that offense are the primary culprits behind

528
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 2: some of the opposition's turnovers.

529
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing that I want to talk about.

530
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: We're way way deep into this season now and USC

531
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: is going to play for a PAC twelve championship in

532
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: year one under Lincoln Riley. All I can say about

533
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: him is you may not like Lincoln Riley. You may

534
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: not want to give Lincoln Riley credit. There is certainly

535
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 2: different camps and he's pretty polarizing. No one's indifferent on

536
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley, but you've got to give him credit. You

537
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 2: may not want to give Lincoln Riley credit, but you

538
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: got to give him credit. This dude's essentially become college

539
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: football's Ferdinand Magellan. You know, there were a lot of

540
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: things that were often thought about this sport, kind of

541
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: like before anyone circumnavigated the globe, there was a thought

542
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 2: about what would happen if he fell off the end

543
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: of the earth.

544
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: Well, eventually somebody had to test it.

545
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: Out, And what do you know, I didn't get eaten

546
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: by fire breathing dragons. Once I fell off the end

547
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: of this thing, I just went all the way around it.

548
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: Voila.

549
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: Put the globes in the classrooms. Well, Lincoln Riley and

550
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: all of us for a long time heard that there's

551
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: really only one way to put together as and you

552
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 2: gotta recruit, and you got to build those relationships in

553
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: ninth grade tenth grade.

554
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: Then you gotta foster them, and then you got to

555
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: bring them in. Then you got to develop them.

556
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: And that is tried and true, and it works. But

557
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: as it turns out, some of the things that were

558
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: largely accepted as fact out there were not fact. When

559
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 2: it comes to another way to put together roster, they

560
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: were merely theory. Consensus is only a theory until someone tested.

561
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley tested it. Lincoln Riley tested the notion that

562
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: you can't just go into the transfer portal and put

563
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: together a team. That's not the way team building and

564
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: roster construction works. It's not the way it has worked, friend,

565
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: but it's absolutely working for him.

566
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: Now.

567
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: What I'm not suggesting, nor do I think he would suggest,

568
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: is this is the way we're going to do it

569
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: until the end of time. But what I am suggesting

570
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: is he found a way in year one to not

571
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 2: look at his administration and his fans and say, gimme time.

572
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna suck this year, give me time.

573
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: He didn't do that. He said, if it's okay with everyone,

574
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm can we try and win? Now? Can we win

575
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: this year?

576
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's try and win this year. And they're winning

577
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: this year. Anything they achieved from this point forward is overachievement.

578
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: In my mind.

579
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: They don't think that way. I think that way about him.

580
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 2: Here's what else is happening. Once Magellan did his thing,

581
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: he wasn't the last. Once Roger Banister ran that sub

582
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: four minute mile, he wasn't the last.

583
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: They were the first.

584
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: Once Lincoln Riley portaled his way to a conference championship

585
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 2: game in year one, he won't be the last. He'll

586
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 2: be the first. What are we about to enter. We

587
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: are entering what could be a pretty crazy hiring cycle,

588
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: this cycle and cycles to come.

589
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: You have the usual stuff to keep in mind.

590
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: Who are we going to go get who the OC

591
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: and DC gonna be recruiting coordinator? Who are we going

592
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: to get in here strength and conditioning. But you also

593
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: have that other elephant in the room. And that is

594
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: how much of our new head coach's roster could be

595
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 2: convinced to follow him here. How many of them don't

596
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: need to be convinced, they'll voluntarily do it. How many

597
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: kids on other rosters are going to see him come

598
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: here and all of a sudden put two and two

599
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: together and say, the confluence of that guy and that

600
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: program is attractive enough for me.

601
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm on my way.

602
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: Someone else is gonna do it. Lincoln Riley just the blueprint.

603
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: He's just our Magellan.

604
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to like it. I don't know how

605
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: liked or hated.

606
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: Magellan was, but I think that you will see, begrudgingly

607
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: a lot of people lean into this way of doing things.

608
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: You'd be stupid not to. If you're making a change anyway,

609
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: you'd be dumb not to. Mel Tucker did it last year.

610
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: So now we have an argument. Now I'm gonna have

611
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: to put up the Twitter poll. Are college football Magellan?

612
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: Are we looking at Meltucker? Are we looking at Lincoln Riley?

613
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: UCLA is a good team, man, like they played Arizona

614
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: last week. I talked to a couple of their staffers

615
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: on the field before the game, and I said, do

616
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 2: you guys feel like Arizona played you as good as

617
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: I do? And they said, yeah, like we thought we

618
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: did enough to win. We thought we had a mo

619
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: ultiple times, and Jade and De Laura just said, no,

620
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 2: you don't have us.

621
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: That's the Arizona quarterback and they just won.

622
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: I didn't think less of UCLA after that. I don't

623
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 2: think less of them after this game. They have three

624
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: losses now. One of them was last night to a

625
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: team that could go on to win the Pac twelve

626
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: championship and go to the playoff. Another one is to Oregon,

627
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: who could be the team that prevents USC for all

628
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: we know from winning the Pac twelve and going to

629
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: the playoff. And then the third one was against Arizona

630
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: that just pulled a South Carolina basically played out of

631
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: their mind for one night. It's a good team eight

632
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: and three right now. They go to Cal this week.

633
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: I think UCLA will win that game. Model loves him

634
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: this week. I think you're going to see a nine

635
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: win team this year regular season. I think you're going

636
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: to see a nine win team, and that's a good year.

637
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: As for the Rose Bowl, as I told you to

638
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: start that segment, Man, that's a special place and I

639
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: was fortunate that I got to see it at pretty

640
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: full capacity last night.

641
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: So it wasn't the Rose Bull game per se. It's

642
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: a night game as.

643
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: Opposed to a two pm local time kick, which the

644
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: Rose Bowl is, but really special place. And if you

645
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: know me, or you listen to the show or half

646
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 2: for any length of time, you know that the travel

647
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: schedule we choose is not something that we ever just

648
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: settle into. It doesn't become mundane, it doesn't become a

649
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: box we just check. Like this stuff. We want to

650
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: do it, we ask to do it, and we want

651
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: to go on the road fifteen or sixteen weeks in

652
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: a row. Some of them are more special than others,

653
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: only because if you're from where I'm from, in the

654
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: rural South, the Rose Bowl, you know where it is

655
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: and you could point to it on a map, but

656
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: it's just it's another galaxy. It exists in another world,

657
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: and especially if you're from a smaller town, the world

658
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: can feel that way when you grow up. So I

659
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: remember being a kid and when I would see the

660
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: Rose Bowl on TV, or when I would just see

661
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: teams playing out West.

662
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: It just felt so far away.

663
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: And now that we've elevated the show to the point

664
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: where we get to go to those places, Yeah, it's wonderful.

665
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: And maybe some people do you take that stuff for granted.

666
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: I don't take it for granted.

667
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: It was a big deal.

668
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: I got there early yesterday, number one, because of traffic.

669
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: Number two, just to soak that in for a few

670
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: extra minutes.

671
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: That's not lost on me.

672
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: So I wanted to tell you guys that because I

673
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: talked to a number of you there yesterday and echoed

674
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: that sentiment. So I kind of wanted to say that

675
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: on the more broad.

676
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Scale here, which begs the question, with the.

677
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: Every given Saturday tour having completed a second West coast trip,

678
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 2: where are we going this week? I would try and

679
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: drum up some mystery and intrigue and excitement here, but

680
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: I can't. I am going to show you we've got

681
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: the Civil War. They don't call it that anymore for

682
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: completely and utterly ridiculous reasons, but I am still going

683
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: to call Oregon at Oregon State the Civil War. We've

684
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: got Michigan, Ohio State, we got the Iron Bowl, and

685
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: we've got Notre Dame at USC.

686
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Now that Notre Dame USC game.

687
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: Is very enticing. But we just came from Los Angeles,

688
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: just saw USC yesterday. We have not seen Michigan this year.

689
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: We have not seen Ohio State this year, and that

690
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: is about to come to an end because we are

691
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: headed to Columbus Ohio, Michigan versus Ohio State, the game

692
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 2: eleven and oh versus eleven and oh for the first

693
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: time I believe since six and you note this deserves

694
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: this deserves an announcement.

695
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: Bell check the forecast today.

696
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: Could we approach fifty degrees but it did not look

697
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: that way for the past forty eight hours or so.

698
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: Could we hit the upper forties or even fifty and

699
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: grading on the Ohio November curve? That is like the

700
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: Caribbean in the middle of summer. Fingers crossed. I want

701
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the weather I had to endure

702
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: in an arbor Michigan last year. I know you guys

703
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: celebrate that like it's the end of the world. I

704
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: loathe it like it's the end of the world. Big

705
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: ten football. I love Big ten weather not so much.

706
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: So we will be regardless of what the forecast has

707
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: in store in Columbus, Ohio. I've been up there since

708
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: last year when they splattered Michigan State, so I have

709
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: yet to see a good game or even a semblance

710
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: of a good game in Ohio Stadium. I have a

711
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: sneaking suspicion that we will break that drive spell.

712
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: We will break that streak this week.

713
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: This is going to be a good one one game season,

714
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: total super Bowl mode one game season. I'm going to

715
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: talk about that game a little bit more later, and

716
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 2: obviously we'll break it down Tuesday.

717
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: Got some more games that I want to hit here.

718
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys being tuned in.

719
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: Make sure you like make someone suggests that I go

720
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: to Vandy, don't think I didn't consider it. That's all

721
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: I'll say. Don't think I didn't consider it. Georgia sixteen

722
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 2: Kentucky's six. I was watching this game out at the

723
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: Rose Bowl, and I just I was trying to get

724
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 2: myself excited about the potential that Kentucky could pull the upset.

725
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: But I never thought they were going to.

726
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 2: And then I was trying to convince myself I should

727
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: be stunned that this game was close, but I couldn't

728
00:34:59,560 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 2: do that.

729
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the game just makes perfect sense.

730
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: I think that Kentucky hanging around is not a surprise.

731
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: I don't think Georgia was surprised by that. What have

732
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 2: we learned about November. The very fact that Kentucky lost

733
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: to Vandy last week should have told you, don't expect

734
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: them to be.

735
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: Down against Georgia. Expect their best against Georgia. You got

736
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: their best.

737
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: Now here's another thing we knew, and Kirby smart knew

738
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: their best. Kentucky's best was never going to be good

739
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: enough offensively. So it also doesn't shock me that a

740
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: quote unquote close game included them not hitting double digits.

741
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 2: George's given up eleven and some odd points per game,

742
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: leading the country right now. And so if everyone wants

743
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: to complain about how Georgia manages things offensively, they're trying

744
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: to win a game. And while they may not manage

745
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 2: their offense in such a way where they're going to

746
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: hang half one hundred every week, there is virtually no

747
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: chance they're gonna get beat by employing that strategy.

748
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: Michigan has done that. A lot of this year's bit

749
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: them yesterday.

750
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: But Michigan's done that too, I mean, top scoring defenses

751
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 2: in the game right now, What do you know, Georgia Michigan.

752
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: I did not know that. Actually, they are one to

753
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: two and Michigan played number three in Illinois yesterday. So Georgia,

754
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: I think another thing to consider is they clinched. They

755
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: clinched the SEC East last week it was like four degrees.

756
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: Yesterday it was just a survive in advanced kind of game.

757
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: George is another one of them that can honestly say

758
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 2: a win is a win. They don't need style points,

759
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: they don't need any of that. They just need to

760
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: win and get out of there. But, as is usually

761
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: the case, when a team does not look like they're

762
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: in full on Xbox mode, if I pull the eye

763
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 2: Josh out in my back pocket and I look, I'm

764
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: gonna have some version of the following quote. Well, this

765
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: team's not gonna beat Ohio State. That team's not gonna

766
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: play Ohio State. Nothing about the Georgia effort you see

767
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: against the University of Kentucky has any relevance to potentially

768
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: what looked like if they were on the field with

769
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 2: Ohio State.

770
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, as you're typing that to.

771
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: Me and you know who you are, did you check

772
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: the Ohio State Maryland score at any point yesterday.

773
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: Check out how that.

774
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 2: Was a field goal game in the fourth quarter. So

775
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: what Ohio State are we talking about? And for that matter,

776
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: you want to throw TCU at me? Do you want

777
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 2: to throw Michigan at me? Tennessee?

778
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: You can't throw at me. I don't know.

779
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 2: If you guys have looked around, there is no truly

780
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: elite team out there right now? Which team do you

781
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: hold as the unquestioned standard of greatness in college football

782
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: this year by which every one of your performances should

783
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 2: be compared? And if we play like this against them,

784
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: we're going down. It's like to remember the Titans mode.

785
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: If we play like this against Grofton, we're going down.

786
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 2: There is no Groveton in the sport this year. There

787
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 2: is no twenty nineteen LSU. There is no twenty twenty Bama.

788
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 2: You got some pretty good teams there at the top,

789
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: and then you got some pretty good teams below them.

790
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: As it turns out, there is not a massive gap.

791
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: It looked that way early in the year. That's not

792
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: the way the season has played out. The odds to

793
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 2: win the chachampionship right now, Georgia is favored, Ohio State's

794
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 2: behind them, Michigan's three, and then you got a little

795
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 2: bit of a gap in the odds, and then you

796
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 2: got TCU and USC. But I just I always wonder

797
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: how people think the way that they think when they say,

798
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm watching a team that's clearly disinterested in their opponent.

799
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and pretend that if they were

800
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 2: playing for a title, or if they were playing in

801
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 2: a semi final game against TCU or Michigan, they'd play

802
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:26,959
Speaker 2: this exact same way.

803
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: Total foolishness, you know better.

804
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: Georgia, however, is a flawed team, as they all are,

805
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: and I think one of the things that Georgia folks

806
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 2: are learning more and more is they're not so great

807
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: on short yardage, which is kind of surprising because the

808
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 2: rest of the mo of their team and their culture

809
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: you would think would permeate seamlessly to those sorts of situations.

810
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 2: You would think they'd be good defensively, and they are,

811
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: but you would also think offensively, if they need two

812
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: tough yards here on third or fourth down, they can

813
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: get them, and it's not the case. And I don't

814
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 2: know if it's an offensive line thing. I don't know

815
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: if it's just that they don't have true stud tailbacks

816
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: that you trust between the tackles in those situations.

817
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: But whatever it is, they don't have that. What is that?

818
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: It is a moderate minor flaw, however you want to

819
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: describe it on a team in a season where everyone's

820
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 2: got warts and blemishes, even though some may be undefeated,

821
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: they've all got areas where you can expose them. That

822
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: just happens to be Georgia's. Now Kentucky lost this game.

823
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 2: That there was news out of Kentucky this morning, and

824
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: that is that Mark Stoops has a new deal. Mark

825
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: Stoops is about to be making starting in twenty twenty three.

826
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: His base salary is going to be nine million dollars

827
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,959
Speaker 2: a year. That you know what that's worth. That's worth

828
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: the paper pop nine MILLI a year. I think it

829
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: starts at like eight point six. You imagine telling someone

830
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: at any point in the last ten years, someone's about

831
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 2: to be making nine mill to coach at Kentucky. And

832
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 2: then you wait and then you say in football. And

833
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: by the way, this contract does make him the highest

834
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 2: paid coach at Kentucky and that includes cal I don't

835
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: know how many hours Cal's gonna allow that to stand.

836
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 2: But that is the current situation. There a lot of money,

837
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: a lot of money. And meanwhile, it turns out they

838
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: signed the deal last week and it looks like I

839
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: don't want to put words in anyone in's mouth, but

840
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: it looks like the plan was we'll sign it and

841
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 2: then we'll announce it after the Vandy game. Whoops, we

842
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: just lost the Vandy game. This is not gonna go

843
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 2: over well, when are we gonna announce it? We were

844
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 2: competitive against Georgia, to heck with it.

845
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: Announce it. Just put it out there.

846
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: Announce it, cause who knows what happens against Louisville, and

847
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: then we're gonna stuck with this thing in our hands

848
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 2: that people find out has been there for a month, immunity,

849
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: and then we look really bad. So transparent see is

850
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: the word of the afternoon in Lexington and surrounding areas.

851
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm all for it, Mark Tubes, get what you can get.

852
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 2: Oregon had a gut check yesterday. I mean Oregon may

853
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: have had the gut check of Saturday. They beat Utah

854
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: twenty to seventeen. The PAC twelve is so good again yesterday.

855
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: If you're sleeping on the conference you have sleeped on,

856
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 2: or you've slept on some really good football the Big

857
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: Twelve as well.

858
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: I am at this point.

859
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: I am done doing the work that their commissioners should

860
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 2: be doing and selling this product to you. But this

861
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: one was special for Oregon. Bo Nicks ended up playing

862
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 2: in this game. We bet Utah because I didn't think.

863
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks was gonna play.

864
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: He ended up playing very obviously, less than one hundred percent,

865
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: less than ninety percent, eighty percent. He couldn't run, He

866
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: couldn't do the things that make him a dynamic quarterback.

867
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: Point blank.

868
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 2: Utah is supposed to win this game if you say

869
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 2: the things I'm about to say out loud, even if

870
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: you know Bo Nicks is gonna play, if I tell

871
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: you Nicks is not going to be able to at all.

872
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: They didn't even bother calling a lot of the option

873
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: type stuff that they sometimes run with him, because they

874
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 2: knew that he was not a threat to run, and

875
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: Utah would pick up on that after one play if

876
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: they didn't already pick up on it before him. Oregon

877
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 2: was under two point five yards per carry, so they

878
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 2: didn't run the ball as a team effectively. I just

879
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 2: took away their identity. I just took away everything that

880
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: makes them lethal as an offense. Their offensive line was

881
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: banged up, so they essentially played handcuffed, if I tell

882
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 2: you that stuff. Oh and by the way, the team

883
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: that's coming in is a team that beat you physically

884
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 2: to death twice last year. You're not supposed to win

885
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 2: that game. And they won the game. And how did

886
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: they do it? Their defense stepped up when it needed

887
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 2: to the most.

888
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: I told a couple.

889
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: Of people today, this was the game I went back

890
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: and watched before any other game. When I got on

891
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: the plane last night, I couldn't believe the defensive front.

892
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 2: In fact, I couldn't believe Oregon's defense period. Get back

893
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: to that in a second, but I thought they played

894
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 2: at an extremely high level. They were disruptive, They never

895
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: allowed came rising to get comfortable. I think there's a

896
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 2: reason why he had three picks last night, the Utah quarterback,

897
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: and I just didn't expect that. And I think you

898
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: could argue this is the best Oregon's defense has looked

899
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: all year. And that's kind of what I want to

900
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: get back to. I'm not here to confirm anything. I'm

901
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 2: not in their locker room. I'm not in their coaches box,

902
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 2: but there are some interesting theories by some folks who

903
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 2: are pretty plugged into the program about, you know, maybe

904
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: some of the procedural things that could be changing behind

905
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: the scenes there. I talked about this with the offense

906
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: at South Carolina.

907
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: Could it be that the defense at Oregon is.

908
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: Operating a little bit differently procedurally today than it was

909
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: three weeks ago, five weeks ago, seven weeks ago.

910
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: And usually what I mean when I say that.

911
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: Is who's calling the plays versus who was calling the plays.

912
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: Just something to keep in mind, could be collaborative.

913
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: I just I have suspicion that things may have changed

914
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: there in the last maybe week or in the last

915
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 2: two weeks. But whatever you did last night, keep doing it,

916
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: because that looked really, really good.

917
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: How many weeks of gas do you have in a tank?

918
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 2: That's a question I always ask this time of year,

919
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: because you can get fooled into buying stock in a

920
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: lot of teams in October. October is not easy to

921
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 2: make it through, but October is infinitely easier to make

922
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 2: it through. Many a team has made it through October,

923
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 2: far fewer have been able to navigate the waters. In November,

924
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 2: they get really rocky, it gets treacherous, the mist sets in.

925
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: It's unfamiliar territory for a lot of folks, especially if

926
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: your first year head coach. And so it would have

927
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 2: been perfectly understandable after Oregon got beat by Washington last

928
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: week for them to drop this one. Banged up though

929
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: they were, and just think to themselves, all right, we

930
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: made it into November. But it turns out we were

931
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: a team with ten or eleven weeks of gas when

932
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 2: we needed thirteen or fourteen.

933
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: Nope, they picked themselves right back up.

934
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: I mean, this was a true gut check for bo

935
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: Nicks and for the program. And this is a first

936
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: for them. It's Dan Lanning's first year as a head coach,

937
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: that staff, it's their first year together up there, and

938
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 2: here they are. They're alive, way way later in the

939
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: season than I think a lot of folks expected them

940
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 2: to be, and they're a prime player.

941
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: Now.

942
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 2: USC is going to be in the Pac twelve Championship game.

943
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 2: Could they be facing Oregon? We will get that answer

944
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 2: this week they play Oregon State. I didn't check the

945
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 2: number on that game. I'll certainly have it for you Tuesday.

946
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 2: Some more added takeaways here, and then I've got three

947
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 2: early best bets to give you. Raman Noodle expresses on fire,

948
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 2: on fire. Several children had their Christmas paid for, whether

949
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 2: they know it or not, over the.

950
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: Past couple of weeks.

951
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: I tell you guys all all the time, check your calendar.

952
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 2: Does you a load of good to check a calendar?

953
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 2: And what do you know? Florida didn't check the calendar

954
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: yesterday because if Florida checked the calendar, they would have

955
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 2: known it's Doorvember. Kentucky found out the hard way. Florida

956
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 2: found out the hard way it's Doorvember. And sure enough,

957
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 2: Vanderbolt thirty one, Florida twenty four.

958
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: We hinted it. This last week.

959
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 2: We made Vandy one of our very very early best bets.

960
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 2: We were getting fourteen and a half. I responsibly took

961
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: another unit and put it on the money line.

962
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: That's right.

963
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: I did not tell you to do that, because I

964
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 2: don't often tell you to go bet fourteen point dogs outright.

965
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: But I did it myself and it pays off.

966
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 2: Box score doesn't have to make sense, November doesn't have

967
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 2: to make sense. Thirty five at kickoff, I just didn't

968
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: like the prospect Florida having to go into that Florida

969
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 2: coming off that win against South Carolina last week, which,

970
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 2: as it turns out, I'm not gonna call it fraud,

971
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: but it certainly doesn't carry as much weight as anymore.

972
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: And so, man, look at the total yards. If you

973
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 2: go four four, five to two eight three, you're supposed

974
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 2: to win the game. But if you run the ball

975
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: forty five with Anthony Richardson, maybe you don't win the game.

976
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: And that's how it turned out. Vanderbilt clearly overachieving. Vanderbilt

977
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 2: has felt good for about the past four or five weeks,

978
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 2: but they didn't have the wins to show for it.

979
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: And now finally they got the Kentucky win, they got

980
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 2: the Florida win, and now.

981
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: They play Tennessee this week.

982
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: And like I said, the line on that game is

983
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: about sixteen or seventeen, depending on where you look. Florida

984
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: is a nine and a half point dog against FSU.

985
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: We will have eyes on both of those games.

986
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: Obviously. This next game, man, this one kind of took

987
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: me by surprise. I gotta be real.

988
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 2: Michigan squeaked by Illinois nineteen to seventeen. Now, hats off

989
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: because they found a win. Man almost got stuck in

990
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 2: my throat. They found a way to win, and they're

991
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 2: eleven and zero now, first time since six Here.

992
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: We got things.

993
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 2: I got a calm and that sets up the Ohio

994
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,439
Speaker 2: State game this Saturday, which we will talk about ad

995
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 2: nauseum this Tuesday. But man, if you've watched Michigan this year,

996
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 2: you know they're really physical. They have not developed, frankly,

997
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: the passing game I thought they developed.

998
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: I thought that.

999
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 2: Receiver group was going to be a group that evolved

1000
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: and grew throughout the year and they were going to

1001
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 2: be a force to be reckoned with by the stretch run.

1002
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: And they're just not. For whatever reason, they're just not.

1003
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 2: And if you don't have that tool at your disposal,

1004
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 2: you can get in a situation where you reach into

1005
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: the box and there's nothing there and you just got

1006
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: to keep doing and keep doing and keep doing what

1007
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 2: you've been doing. And you know, nineteen seventeen against Illinois,

1008
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 2: that's the result. Illinois playing inspired football. Yesterday playing for

1009
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 2: Brett Beelim and he just lost his mom. Illinois has

1010
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: been a good team this year, period, inspired or not.

1011
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: But there you go.

1012
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: A field goal at the end ends up keeping Michigan alive,

1013
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 2: keeping them perfect. Now here's what I don't want you

1014
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 2: to do. We've already talked about this theme several times.

1015
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 2: I don't want you to fall into the same trap

1016
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 2: that a lot of people do every week, and that

1017
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 2: is thinking that one week impacts the next week.

1018
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: Michigan could throw for three hundred.

1019
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 2: And fifty yards this Saturday, and it wouldn't shot me.

1020
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 2: They are playing Ohio State. Nothing about anything else I've

1021
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: seen this year matters this Saturday.

1022
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: It is a one game season.

1023
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 2: Andrew Anthony has not done fractionally what people have expected

1024
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: him to do this year.

1025
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: He could go off for one hundred and seventy five yards.

1026
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: Or three touchdowns a Saturday, and you look at it

1027
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 2: and you'd say, yep, that's the Ohio State Michigan game.

1028
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: That's the Michigan Ohio State game.

1029
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: That's the game. So I don't care. They won. I

1030
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: don't care.

1031
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 2: Next game, Ohio State forty three, Maryland thirty. They won.

1032
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 2: I don't care. Nothing about yesterday matters this Saturday. Now

1033
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 2: I tell you one specific thing that matters that I

1034
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: saw yesterday. Mayan Williams out Trevion Henderson hurt to the

1035
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 2: point where I'm surprised they played him. Ryan Day said

1036
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: he had a good week of practice. He looked crippled

1037
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: to me, and so he's in there playing to start

1038
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 2: and then they wisely get him out of there because

1039
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: he can't function, and they put in Dallan Hayden.

1040
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: You say, hoomst Ohio State fans know him.

1041
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 2: That would be about the extent of how many people

1042
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 2: really would know about him nationally. One hundred and forty

1043
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 2: six yards, three touchdowns. That's called depth, that's quality depth.

1044
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 2: That's why you recruit him, That's why you rep him

1045
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 2: in practice, and that's why you don't stop paying attention

1046
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: after your ones and twos run through the line, because

1047
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 2: the later you get in the year, the more guys

1048
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 2: get banged up, the more those those critical last minute

1049
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 2: recruiting decisions. Who do we take, what is our eval

1050
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 2: on this guy? It all ends up playing out in

1051
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 2: that form. You know, one on any preview, magazine, publication

1052
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 2: or editorial board cared about that kid preseason.

1053
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard him mentioned on Ohio.

1054
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 2: State boards by mid season, But there he was yesterday,

1055
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 2: and he was ready to go, And so who knows

1056
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 2: what their running back situation is going into this week.

1057
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: I am sure or virtually certain that everything Ohio State's

1058
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 2: doing and everything Michigan is doing is geared towards getting

1059
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 2: themselves prepared help wise for this game.

1060
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 1: That means they'll all be ready.

1061
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: But you also are not gonna get much reputable injury

1062
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 2: information this week either, so I wouldn't plan on having

1063
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 2: many updates. You'll just have to turn on the game

1064
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 2: Saturday and find out.

1065
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

1066
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna save it for Tuesday. I got I got

1067
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 2: some thoughts already on Ohio State Michigan. I'm gonna save

1068
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 2: it for Tuesday. Clemson took Miami and body bagged them

1069
00:51:54,719 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: yesterday forty to ten. Somehow, some way, this game was

1070
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 2: probably even worse than forty to ten. You want padlock stats.

1071
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: I haven't given out padlock stats this show yet. How

1072
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 2: does twenty seven to six in the first down department

1073
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 2: sound edge Clemson? By the way, third downs, Clemson was

1074
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 2: fourteen of nineteen total yards four forty seven to ninety eight. Yes, friends,

1075
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: Miami failed to crack the one hundred yard mark, not

1076
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: in a quarter, not and a half, but in a

1077
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 2: full real life college football game. Total plays eighty four

1078
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 2: to forty two edge Clemson, so a total skull dragon.

1079
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 2: The Sarah McLaughlin Special of the day happened in Clemson,

1080
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 2: South Carolina. And if it didn't happen there, it happened

1081
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 2: in Columbia, so you can take your pick. Sarah McLaughlin

1082
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: was running things in the Palmetto State yesterday.

1083
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: This was a gross, gross football game.

1084
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 2: There's really not much reason to break it down, but

1085
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 2: I do have this little tidbit for you, a testament

1086
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: to daboswenty.

1087
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: There.

1088
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 2: You know, I'm told the program's falling off. I'm told

1089
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 2: that I'm not saying that need I remind you no

1090
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: member of Clemson's roster has lost a home game in

1091
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 2: their careers. I'm gonna repeat that, no member of Clemson's

1092
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 2: roster has lost a home game their entire career.

1093
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: Or alternately, put that's getting a job done.

1094
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 2: Arkansas finally played with a healthy quarterback. And you know

1095
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 2: what's shocking. Regardless of what some more casual minded amongst

1096
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 2: us would say, Arkansas with a healthy kJ Jefferson's actually

1097
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: a really good team. I had a wager on the

1098
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 2: line with one such person who would swear to you

1099
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 2: kJ Jefferson is not good. Well that's a relative term.

1100
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: He's infinitely better than what the other options there are,

1101
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 2: and he was plenty good enough to run all over

1102
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 2: ol Miss yesterday. This was a forty two to six

1103
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: game at one point, I think, entering the fourth quarter,

1104
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 2: So Arkansas just smoked Old Miss. I think it was

1105
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: a little bit of a perfect storm too. You got

1106
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 2: the kiff and stuff going on. I can't tell you

1107
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 2: quantitatively how big a distraction that is. I just think

1108
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 2: that it is. You also had their SEC championship hopes

1109
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 2: dashed last week, their playoff hopes dashed, so that's out

1110
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 2: the window.

1111
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: And Arkansas got healthy.

1112
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 2: And I know, if you're looking at your screen right now,

1113
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 2: you have to think this is a typo, but it's not.

1114
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 2: Ole Miss put up seven hundred and three yards of

1115
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 2: offense and got run. It was forty two to six

1116
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the fourth corner. I watched the game,

1117
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 2: and I don't know how that's possible, but a healthy

1118
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 2: kJ Jefferson check bowl eligibility check had senior day I

1119
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 2: think yesterday, and a lot of those guys have been

1120
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 2: there through ups and downs and ups and downs check.

1121
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 2: They were not losing that one yesterday, so hats off

1122
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 2: to them, and it's gonna be an interesting week there

1123
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 2: in Oxford, Mississippi. They got the Egg Bowl Thursday, and

1124
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 2: then who knows who they're gonna have their Friday lot.

1125
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 2: A lot remains to be seen this week. One other

1126
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 2: game that has one of the more puzzling stats in

1127
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 2: a box score I saw all day. Oklahoma won Bedlam.

1128
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 2: They beat Oklahoma State twenty eight thirteen. Oklahoma State's offense

1129
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: is just gone, it ceases to exist, and they were

1130
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 2: down I think twenty eight to zero. Oklahoma scored all

1131
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: of their points in the first quarter. I want you

1132
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 2: to listen to this. Oklahoma was one of fourteen on

1133
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 2: third down and they won.

1134
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: Look at that box score.

1135
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: They got out gained. They were one of fourteen on

1136
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 2: third down. Oklahoma State had nine more first downs than them,

1137
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 2: but that turnover stat at the bottom, boy didn't matter,

1138
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: and Oklahoma State was minus two in that department.

1139
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: What does this mean for most of you?

1140
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: Not much because you just watched it and you saw

1141
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 2: two teams that aren't in the mix for anything of

1142
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 2: note in the postseason. But for an Oklahoma fan, when

1143
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: you can win this game in your down years, it

1144
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 2: means a whole lot. And that's ten of the last

1145
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 2: eleven that Oklahoma's won for Lincoln Riley. If you're trying

1146
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 2: to keep folks on board, if you're trying to keep

1147
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 2: people engaged, and you're trying to springboard your way into

1148
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 2: the next season, you better believe it matters. So big

1149
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 2: win there for Oklahoma. I didn't get to watch a

1150
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 2: lot of that game yesterday. That one was on the

1151
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: that one's on the What did I say, Colin?

1152
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: Oh?

1153
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 2: I said, oh, that's not good. If this were not

1154
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 2: a live show, I would have Colin cut it. But

1155
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 2: apparently I said, Lincoln Riley, Brent Venables, Yes, Brent Venables,

1156
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 2: the head coach for the University of Oklahoma. I saw

1157
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 2: Riley last night.

1158
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 1: So that's my excuse.

1159
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 2: And we also made a lot of money yesterday, so

1160
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 2: I think that you ought to spare me a little.

1161
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 2: We've got three best bets to put on the Ramnudle

1162
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 2: Express here, and I've got I gotta do you a

1163
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 2: favor right quick, because we are nothing if not ethical

1164
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 2: around here. I got to make sure that one of

1166
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,239

00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 2: Maction game that is on.
