1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: And welcome to lakeke Is Live. It is Sunday night,

2
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: November sixth. If you ever Lord twenty twenty two, you

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: guys out there searching through ten thousand spoons and all

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: you needed was a night. We are jam packed. Hy

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Atape much darker Nashville, Tennessee figuratively, of course, because of

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: daylight savings, because it is really really bright in Athens, GA.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: It's really bright and baton Rouge. We're going to talk

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: obviously about everything that happened in week ten CFB, Georgia.

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: I thought played the game of the year yesterday. We

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: were on the sideline for it. I'll talk about that.

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: To leave the show, Bama Falls, Clemson Falls, Hello, LSU,

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to the party. Some would argue they were already here.

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I have some atonement to make up for to do,

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: to put in if you will tonight every given Saturday Tour.

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: Pretty historic announcement coming your way in about thirty or

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: thirty five minutes. I've got some added best bets. I

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: don't want to waste any time on the front end

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: because we've got a really, really jam packed show. I

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: know a lot of you are looking forward to kind

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: of sadistically sitting back and kicking your feed up and

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: wallowing in the misery of others. One of the most

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: beautiful things about this sport in my opinion. They're watching

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: us in Knoxville. To be clear, Robert is watching us

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: in Knoxville, Highland, and New York is tuned in Springfield, Louisiana, Millageville, GA.

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: We're already over one hundred and forty four thousand subs

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: on the YouTube channel. I and very very clearly Director

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Colin are supremely confident we can get to one hundred

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand subs by Thanksgiving? Can we do that?

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: It's rhetorical, of course we can one hundred and fifty

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: k subs by Thanksgiving. Keeps the show free, makes management

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: ultra happy, and look, keeping management off of your tail

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: in the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, wouldn't that be great?

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: So let's do it. And then once we get there,

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: the other add on as you get to decide what

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: your own prize is. How great is that you just

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: get to choose your own present. That's the first request

37
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: I've got from you. The other one I'm going to

38
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: put on the back end of the show. So I'll

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: talk to you about that then, because it's much different

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: than subscribing to the channel or liking the video, both

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: of which I wish you would do. Though, is that

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: a tap out? Yes, several teams had to do that yesterday.

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Where are we going to start here? Let's start with

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: the obvious. Georgia twenty seven Tennessee thirteen. Wow, that game

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: did not feel that close, tod it so yesterday we

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: were in Athens, Georgia. I, like many people, expected a

47
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: much closer game than that. I took Tennessee plus points,

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: took Georgia to win. Kind of a cop out, if

49
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: you want to call it that. I think a lot

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: of people went that direction. I don't think the logic

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: was that unsound. I was driving back last night and

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, after I just witnessed what

53
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: I witnessed, couldn't hear a thing still have ringing in

54
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: my ears? That's not a joke, that's real. I'll talk

55
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: about Sandford Stadium in a second. Y'all deserve a lot

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: of credit for that, But I don't think my logic

57
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: was unsound. I've felt this way with about like two

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: or three teams in my life. It's logical to expect

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: an offense like Tennessee to be able to score on

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: any defense. That's logical. It's logical to watch a team

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: like Georgia lose just the sheer amount of talent they

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: did to the NFL Draft and expect there could be

63
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: a weakness, There could be a piece or two that

64
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: could be exposed here and there. Certainly they're not going

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: to be an impenetrable unit defensively, that's logical. And if

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: you think in those terms, it's gonna steer you in

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the right direction about ninety eight percent of the time,

68
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: maybe even ninety nine percent of the time. But there's

69
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: always that one percent, isn't there? And that team there,

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: the ones in red and black with the silver bridges,

71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: of course, they're just the one percent. They're just the

72
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: different product in the game right now than any other

73
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: product out there. I've got a lot of friends over

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: on Dogs twenty four to seven, a lot of acquaintances,

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: some friends, And if there's one thing I know they

76
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: love more than anything else, it is when I compare

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: their program to Alabama. The Alabama you want to be

78
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: compared to right now is the one in the rearview mirror,

79
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: not the windshield. Necessarily talk about that later. But my

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: point is we used to say that about Bama. We

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: used to say they defy conventional wisdom. Keep your logic,

82
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: keep your common sense, but just throw it out the

83
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: window when you're talking about them. Well that's Georgia. Now

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: you keep your logic. Tennessee is going to probably hang

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: a ridiculous number on anyone else they play. You keep

86
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: your conventional wisdom. When teams lose a ton of guys

87
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: to the NFL Draft, there's going to be an expected

88
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: drop off. Keep all that. It will steer you in

89
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the right direction. Just remember when you talk about that

90
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: block g there, that's a different animal now it will

91
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: be for a long time. The Georgia defense yesterday, I

92
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: thought made the statement the year in college football so far.

93
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: What they did two of fourteen on third down is remarkable,

94
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: and I want to go at it in a couple

95
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: of different directions here. Pretty early on, I thought that

96
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: the first quarter was going to be disproportionately telling for

97
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: both teams, and yet there we sit, opening drive for Georgia.

98
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: They turned the ball over, Bennett almost throws a pick,

99
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't get picked. Then they put the ball on

100
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: the ground, Tennessee grabs it, they end up scoring, and

101
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: there are some people who I assume maybe had to

102
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: take a call at that point, you know, maybe had

103
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: to go answer the door. Maybe FedEx came to the door,

104
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: knock knocking. You go back and it's fourteen to three

105
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Georgia with like half the quarter to go, and you

106
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: think to yourself, they've got a two score lead and

107
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: they turned it over on their opening possession. Yes, yes,

108
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: because they did the Tennessee stuff more than Tennessee could

109
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: do the Tennessee stuff early on. I know, tight end's

110
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: been the focal point of Georgia's offense this year so far.

111
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: They had some receivers step up. It turns out they

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: really could victimize Tennessee's secondary because their offensive line went

113
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: to work. Georgia's offensive line needed to play the game

114
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: of the year. It's what we talked about Thursday. It's

115
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: what we talked about Tuesday. It's what they largely did yesterday.

116
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what PFF graded them out on. I

117
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: know I stood there and looked across the field the

118
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: entire afternoon, and I saw which side was getting surge.

119
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: I saw which quarterback was kept clean for the most part,

120
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: and it was the one wearing the red top. So

121
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett had himself a really good afternoon. Georgia's offense,

122
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: they did what they wanted to do. I know there

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: are some really really casual tweets circulating out there talking

124
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: about how they had their lowest relative offensive output in

125
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: a number of categories. Guys, please don't fall for that stuff.

126
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: Please look. If this is you, just take the hook

127
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: out of your mouth. Don't be caught by that. Georgia

128
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: wanted to play a different style yesterday that led to

129
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: more offensive output. They could have. They could have, they

130
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to because, as Kirby Smart said many times

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: in the postgame, and as has been said many times

132
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: by any coach worth his salt, complimentary football has won

133
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: in the past, it does win today, and it will

134
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: always win. I know there's some clinics out there in

135
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: the summer that may suggest otherwise complimentary football very much works.

136
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee was put in third down fourteen times. Nine times

137
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: they were in third and five or longer, and they

138
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: were zero for nine in those circumstances. That's your padlock stat.

139
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: Georgia put him in uncomfortable positions. And Georgia put him

140
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: in positions where their entire playbook was in fact not

141
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: available to them. I don't know what else you can

142
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: say about them. They swarm, they play as one. This

143
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: stuff sounds so clean and easy to say. Look at

144
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: how few the number of teams are out there who

145
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: do this. One of them right now, one of them

146
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: is really playing like Georgia. They're playing on a different level.

147
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: They swarm, as I said, they collectively play as a unit.

148
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: There's always five or ten of them around the football.

149
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: It seems like they tackle their physical They do stuff

150
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: that a lot of people would try and convince you

151
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: can't do anymore because of the way practice has changed.

152
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: Go to a Georgia practice on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

153
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: You probably can't, but talk to people who are at

154
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Georgia practices on Tuesday or Wednesday and ask them how

155
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: the physicality is around there, Ask them how the competitiveness

156
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: is around there. That c word another really important attribute

157
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: to your culture, competing, and sometimes when you get to

158
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: the point they are depth wise, sometimes your stiffest competition

159
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: does come on Tuesday or Wednesday. From the guy running

160
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: to right now, but really close to running with the ones,

161
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: or splitting reps with the ones. They compete and everything's

162
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: it's everything, Every single thing's competition around there. How's this possible?

163
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: How many times did I hear that asked? Yesterday in

164
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: the postgame? I was in Smart's postgame presser. I think

165
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: like five people asked him, how could you do this?

166
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Almost like he's trying to defy a script out there

167
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: or something. How could you lose this many players to

168
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft and still put forth this sort of performance.

169
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: That's not what my preview magazine said you were going

170
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: to do? Uh oh, well, how do they do it?

171
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: They got the best culture in college football right now? Culture.

172
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: There's that word again, everyone's got one, right well, that

173
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: is true. Everyone does have a culture. Some of them

174
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: just suck. Georgia's is the best in college football right now.

175
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: They're able to clear the mechanism. You know what clearing

176
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: the mechanism is. That's when you are literally able to

177
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: vacuum close all outside noise out of your program. They

178
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: clear the mechanism like no other program in America. There

179
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: is nothing outside that matters. There is no criticism that matters,

180
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: No one else's expectations matter. There were different tanks coming

181
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: from all over last week, including here. None of that

182
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: stuff mattered. I was at the facility Friday. They were

183
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: nice enough to tour me around and I talked to

184
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: some of their staff. Coincidentally, I left that building Friday

185
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: having predicted a close game. You know, before I talked

186
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: to anyone down in Athens, and I left Friday night

187
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: and said, uh oh, if I could redo Friday night,

188
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: if I could do the segment again Friday night, you

189
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: would have found me taking Georgia to win and cover.

190
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: They were supremely confident. People have been confident and lost before,

191
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: but I think they felt very, very very good about

192
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: the matchup and what they were going to be able

193
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: to do. And the thing about it is there was

194
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: very little variance in their expectation. Kirby said postgame. We

195
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: knew we had done everything we could, So there's a

196
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: path where Tennessee could have won the game. But if

197
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: they won the game, it would be because they truly

198
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: are the number one team in the country. Georgia weren't

199
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: going to give them an inch, they weren't going to

200
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: give them a thing, and instead, Georgia just proved they

201
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: got the best culture in college football. They didn't just

202
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: prove it yesterday, they reiterated it yesterday. But that culture thing,

203
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: it's funny. Everyone's got one, but not everyone has an

204
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: elite culture. But when you can clear that mechanism and

205
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: when you really can slam the door on everything outside

206
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: of your program, it's magical. It's one thing. If you

207
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: can do it as an individual, I don't doubt Kirby

208
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: Smart gets in his truck every morning and drives to

209
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: work and takes care of locking everything else out for

210
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: his own self, and maybe he can even do it

211
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: for his staff to a certain extent. When you can

212
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: do it for nineteen year old college football players and

213
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: a locker room full of them, then you can achieve

214
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: some really special things, and you can do it over

215
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: and over and over again, because that standard doesn't change.

216
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: And if you can ever secure the mechanism and you

217
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: can ever lock all that noise out and truly create

218
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: an environment where all that matters is what's on the inside.

219
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: So the only things that matter are your standard and

220
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: then your process. You define what you're about, and then

221
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: you push that to the side. You don't really focus

222
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: on the goals. You just focus on doing every single

223
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: hour of every single day, what it takes to achieve them.

224
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: It's the same way you build a successful show. It's

225
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: the same way you build a successful business. It's the

226
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: same way you build and maintain a successful football per

227
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: And when you've got it, it doesn't matter how many

228
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: times that revolving door over their swings. The fact of

229
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: the matter is the better you get, the more likely

230
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: your people are to get poched. The better you get,

231
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: the more likely you are to send a bunch of

232
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: guys off to the NFL Draft. But when you've got

233
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: the same immersion process happening, and you're getting the right

234
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: types of people and immersing them in the same kind

235
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: of culture, you get shockingly similar results. That's why that

236
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: phrase reload over rebuild, that's a really popular buzz phrase.

237
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: But you don't get to say it very often. You

238
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: can say it about them. What about tennessee here? What

239
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: do we make of them? It was very somber around

240
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: the program last night. That's because they want to win

241
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship and they probably can't now, but they

242
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: can still make the playoff. In fact, I had Jesse

243
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: look up the current odds to win the national Championship,

244
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: not just to make the SEC Championship or make the

245
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: playoff or anything like that. You know where Tennessee is

246
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: right now after their loss yesterday, They're fourth, They're four.

247
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee's got the fourth best odds to win the national championship,

248
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: and they're significantly ahead of TCU. So this team is still,

249
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: I would argue, expected to make the college football Playoff.

250
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: You know what part of that is because of part

251
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: of that is because odds makers don't think TCU is

252
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: going undefeated. They're a seven point dog. This Saturday, TCU

253
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: plays at Texas, you know, the one that all of

254
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: you think we have overrated in the jpeople shocker, Texas

255
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: is favored again over a team that you have ranked

256
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: higher than them. So TCU's there, Oregon, your packed twelve champ.

257
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: Maybe ten Tennessee is still very much in the thick

258
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: of This is the point everyone wants to dunk. As

259
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: Mema used to say, I tried this out on Jesse

260
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,479
Speaker 1: earlier today. It got to pop in the room. Everyone

261
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: wants to dunk, but no one wants the growing pains.

262
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: And yesterday's just necessary, you just needed I know it

263
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: would have been nice to win the game, certainly if

264
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: you could hit the rewind button. You would change the

265
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: outcome for the better for Tennessee. You want to win

266
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: the game. I just want you to put yourself in

267
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five for a second. Who knows, maybe you're

268
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: putting yourself three months from now and you're hoisting a

269
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: national championship trophy. I'm just saying, sometimes you really got

270
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: to get slapped in the back of the head, You

271
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: really got to get just pushed up against the wall figuratively,

272
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: of course. And you need to understand, and you need

273
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: your people to understand. Here's how far we've come. That's

274
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: what the real deal over there looks like. That's how

275
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: far we have left to go. Now, we're not going

276
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: to do things exactly how they do. There's certainly more

277
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: than one way to skin the cat. But they're on

278
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: the right track. And it's really important to note how

279
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: seriously they got taken yesterday. It's everybody believes a nameless,

280
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: faceless opponent. There was a reason that the energy and

281
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: the hype in the atmosphere around that game yesterday was

282
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: a little bit different. It's because Tennessee has made you

283
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: take them that seriously, and they're still very much in

284
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: this thing. They can still be a threat, they can

285
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: still make the playoff. But Hypel in his postgame I

286
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: thought was very blunt. He was very sh but direct

287
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: and honest, and he said, we didn't do a good

288
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: job of handling the emotional aspect of the game, which

289
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: is a great and tangible, but it's so evident in

290
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: every game you see it on TV. You don't even

291
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: have to be there in person. You see it and

292
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: you understand which teams are rattled early, or which teams

293
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: are not settling into the moment, which teams can't clear

294
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: their own mechanism and the externals are working against them. Well,

295
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: that happened to Tennessee. They didn't handle that stuff. Almost

296
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: said something bad. I don't want to though. They didn't

297
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: handle it very well yesterday, and he was brutally honest.

298
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: He said the same thing. They had fourteen attempts, as

299
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I said, on third down, they were two of fourteen,

300
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: a ton of penalties. I think that there was a

301
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: quote from Eric Age that circulated last week about how

302
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: Sandford Stadium not that tough, not that tough, and I

303
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: retweeted it and said, I think this is both right

304
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: historically and wrong presently. I'll get back to that in

305
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: just a second. Actually, but they still have the fourth

306
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: best odds to win the titles. Tennessee is still there.

307
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: I just think in the long run, this is going

308
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: to go a long way in jolting the program back

309
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: into reality with a team that still stands to benefit

310
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: and achieve a lot this year. It's not all bad.

311
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, it's not all bad. And if

312
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: you don't think that yesterday's outcome could flip with a

313
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: few plays going a different way. Georgia's coaching staff knows

314
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: that's true. You know, that's why you and I saw

315
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: a dominant performance. But you listen to the head coach

316
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: of the University of Georgia and he's very cautious to

317
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: talk about it in those terms. He knows they dominated

318
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: him yesterday, but he knows that's yesterday, and he knows

319
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: if Bennett gets sacked down there instead of rushing for

320
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown, could change the whole game. If Jalen Hyatt

321
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: has a couple of balls instead of going five yards

322
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: beyond his reach, if he's under one of them, it

323
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: could go a different way. It didn't, and that's a

324
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: good thing for Georgia, and it's probably a beneficial thing

325
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: for Tennessee. I still got a lot to play for

326
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: this year. It will benefit them in the future. Let

327
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: me talk about Athens for a second. So I don't

328
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: get to go down there ever, because Georgia's home schedule

329
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: is atrocious next year. It's atrocious. I would bet you

330
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: anything we don't get to go to a game there

331
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: next year, and the fans know it, and it will

332
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: pay or I don't think it'll pay off. It'll change

333
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: in the future when they expand the conference schedule. Plus,

334
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: george has got a lot of good home and home

335
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: scheduled in the future, but right now you're stuck with

336
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: what you got. Home Field in college football, in these

337
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: big games is undervalued. Our buddies, college football nerds. I

338
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: saw them talking about this yesterday. I've said this several

339
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: times on this show. I mean, you'd have odds makers

340
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: tell you that home field Sandford Stadium, even in a

341
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: big game, Oh, we'll give it three and a half

342
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: or four points. Home field in these big games. I'm

343
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: at every single one of them. I am telling you

344
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: it's worth over a touchdown play. Being there yesterday was

345
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: absurd to try and handle if you're Tennessee. Just like

346
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: in Kneeling a couple of weeks ago, it was absurd

347
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: to try and handle that if you're Alabama. They work

348
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: on this stuff all week and yet even having been

349
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: prepared for it. That's what that environment does. I don't

350
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: know what the decibel level is to hurt your hearing.

351
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: I don't know at what point it just all sounds

352
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: like noise. But whatever that point is, that place got

353
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: well above that point yesterday. Because I could not distinguish

354
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: between that and Death Valley at night and Kneel in

355
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, couldn't distinguish between. It certainly

356
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: had a big outcome or impact on the outcome of

357
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: the game. And here's the thing about the Georgia game

358
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: day experience. Those of you around that place know, those

359
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: of you who have covered games there or maybe have

360
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: even played there, would know it's always been a really

361
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: good environment, not lethal. Georgia Sandford Stadium on a Saturday

362
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: historically was not a top ten time five toughest type

363
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: places to play. They didn't never make those lists they

364
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: do now. And that coincides with a change and attitude

365
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: overall in that program. A lot changed there when Kirby

366
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: Smart came in, and it's a testament to how much

367
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: impact one powerful person can have on a program, and

368
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: one person who has singular focus and can get an

369
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: organization and in turn an entire group, an entire massive

370
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: fan base to buy into a collective vision, and an

371
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: administration to get on the same page. It is wild

372
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: how different that place is. I remember going up there.

373
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: It would have been about ten or so years ago.

374
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: It was during Mark Rickt and it was a really

375
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: good program. I mean, Georgia was never bad under Mark Rickt,

376
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: but they weren't top three, but the facilities were just good.

377
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: The attitude around the program was just pretty good. They

378
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a killer instinct, they did not have that

379
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: go for the throat mentality. They just didn't have it

380
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: as a program. The boosters didn't, the administration didn't. I

381
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: was up there Friday night, and that place is like NASA.

382
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: It is wild what all they have and the access

383
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: that those players have. It's a life changing experience. I

384
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: always love comparing and contrasting different facilities and different resources

385
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: that programs have. But it's Kirby Smart. It is Kirby

386
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: Smart that is the difference, and that's why the best

387
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: get paid what they do because look at the Mushroom

388
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: Cloud's difference in impact over that program, and it's one dude.

389
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Same thing happened at Baman six seven eight when Saban

390
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: came in. Same things happened at Georgia in sixteen what

391
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: was sixteen seventeen when Kirby Smart came in, and it's

392
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: it's ripple effect will be felt for years. I mean, hell,

393
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: I don't know when he'll be gone, maybe it's thirty

394
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: years from now, but they got stuff there that you'll

395
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: enjoy long after he's gone because he was there. They

396
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: celebrated the life of Vince Duley over the weekend. He

397
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: passed away last week, they celebrated him this weekend. There's

398
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: a lot about Georgia football that you know because of

399
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: what he did once upon a time, and so you've

400
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: just got a more modern day version of that. But man,

401
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: they are operating at a very high level. It was

402
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: really good to get back to my home state. And

403
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: I know I've said this two or three times this year,

404
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: but I'm going to say it again. We have never

405
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: had a reception and never been recognized as frequently and

406
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: as plentifully. Here we go as we were this weekend.

407
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: If you've never been to a game Sanford Stadium, I

408
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: highly recommend putting that one on your bucket list. Just

409
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: wait till they have a marquee opponent in there. It

410
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: was a good weekend in Houston, wasn't it. And of

411
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: course by that I'm talking about the opening of a

412
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: new Academy Sports and Outdoors. I'm told the Astros had

413
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: a good weekend too. I'm not leaving Dusty Baker and

414
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: company out former Brave by the way, So hats off

415
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: to Dusty Baker for winning the World Series. But what

416
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: you need to do is you need to finish your

417
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: celebration and then you needed to be over at the

418
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: new Academy Sports and Outdoors there in Houston. And while

419
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: you're there, you need to provide proof that you went,

420
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: because I'm going to give you, guys about another twenty

421
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: four hours and then around Houston to prove that you

422
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: went to the new location there, and then we're going

423
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: to select ten of you randomly to take home a

424
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: chalice of supremacy. Why, because our people from Academy are

425
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: just that good. Academy Sports and Outdoors are exclusive partner.

426
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: There is no other partner here. Even the chalice of

427
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Choice Liquids is nameless. It's brandless. All you have is

428
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: a paint State logo there. Why Because Academy Sports and

429
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: Outdoors fits one hundred percent of the bill for this show.

430
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: It's free to you because of them. And so if

431
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: you need a T shirt for this week, if you

432
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: need a new glove, if you need anything and everything,

433
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors is your one stop shop. If

434
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: you can't get there in person, don't worry. They'll probably

435
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: have you a store there soon enough. But in the meantime,

436
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: Academy dot com is where you want to go. So

437
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: I go to the Georgia game yesterday, and that was

438
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: an experience. Maybe not as close a game as America

439
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: and our bosses at CBS wanted, but an experienced a

440
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: spectacle nonetheless. Then I get in my car and I'm

441
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: headed back up the highway towards Atlanta. Yes, I am

442
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: a man of the people. So I drove the five

443
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: hours home last night, just like you guys did. And

444
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm in my car listening to the Alabama LSU game

445
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: on the radio. It helps that I was listening to

446
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: the LSU broadcast. I apologize to our buddy Chris Stewart

447
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: couldn't pick it up, so I had to go with

448
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: the LSU side of things, and it turned out that

449
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: it was. It was a memorable night for many reasons

450
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: in Death Valley. So here's what I want to do, Colin.

451
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: We haven't even started the segment yet. I want to

452
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: take you back to June fifth, this year, this very program.

453
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: I made a statement. This was at the very height

454
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: of the Brian Kelly Cajun accent controversy. You remember that fondly.

455
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: Everybody remembers that everybody had an opinion on that, and

456
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: we were talking about who's a good fit and who's

457
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: a bad fit. And then we fast forward in a

458
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: little bit and Notre Dame was recruiting really well, and

459
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly was sort of endearing himself to the LSU

460
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: fan base, and I came to the realization that we

461
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 1: had a very, very rare confluence of events on our

462
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: hands in college football that was leading to an even

463
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: more rare circumstance. Colin roll it, which brings me back

464
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: to my original point. Because LSU fans love who they have,

465
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: Notre Dame fans love who they have. We could be

466
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: seeing one of those rarest of occurrences in sports, especially

467
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: college football, the classic win win because LSU folks were

468
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: looking around saying, we love having Brian Kelly here. Brian

469
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: Kelly looks around us as I love being here. It's looser.

470
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: So everything I claim I wanted to do and the

471
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: investment I claim I needed, Notre Dame I got it

472
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge. I kind of get to reinvent myself

473
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: in the process. But Notre Dame fans couldn't care less

474
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: about that. They're not bitter because they look and they say,

475
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman's got how many kids in the top two fifty?

476
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: You already committed? And it's June. What So everyone's looking

477
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: around and they seem kind of happy with where they

478
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: are right now. I'm looking at Adam over here in

479
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: the live chat. Adam, I love you, I appreciate you watching,

480
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: but I mean tough love here. Settle down for a second.

481
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna combine all these teams into one segment.

482
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm making a point here. More specifically, I'm patting ourselves

483
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: on our back here. This colin, this is your endpoint. Okay,

484
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: So for those of you who are just going to

485
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: watch the individual video on the YouTube channel this week,

486
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have heard any of what I just said.

487
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: I got some breaking news here. Brian Kelly is a

488
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: good fit for another week in Baton Rouge. Isn't this great?

489
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: LSU thirty three Alabama thirty two. We thought one thing,

490
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: some of you thought that this was a lost cause.

491
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: But low and behold, Brian Kelly. Not only did he

492
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: beat Alabama last night? What if I told you the

493
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: Bayou Bengals down there have their entire fate in their hands.

494
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: Notice I didn't pull out a list of paper with

495
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of scenarios or scenarios and tell you that

496
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: this and this needs to happen. Nope, there they are

497
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: two lost team boll if we could change week one,

498
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: how about that they got everything in front of them.

499
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this game Brian Kelly. I'll talk about

500
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 1: him in a second. How about this observations and conclusions?

501
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: You remember what MIM said about observations in week one,

502
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: don't you? The wise man makes observations in week one,

503
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: only the foolish man draws conclusions. But some people couldn't

504
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: help themselves. Some people saw LSU drop a close game

505
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: to Florida State in Week one in a sport where

506
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: we have kids who were in high school five or

507
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: six months ago playing and we have no preseason, and

508
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: everyone figured out boys Brian Kelly thing probably work, just

509
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: utter foolishness, and then here we are, believe it or not.

510
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: They showed up to work the following Monday, and the

511
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: players still showed up to the facility the following Monday,

512
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: and they are seven to two. They are a top

513
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: ten ranked team. We'll see where the JP pole has

514
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: him to USA night. Jade Daniels has been better than

515
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: best case scenario for this team this year. He shined

516
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: last night. He was one of many facets of this

517
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: program that led to an historic win over Alabama. But Daniels,

518
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good night for him. It's been a

519
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: good year for him, not without hiccups. But when you

520
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: consider what we were talking about in the preseason, where

521
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: we were asking openly who's going to win the job,

522
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 1: it wasn't a sure fire thing that he was even

523
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: going to win the job. He's one of only three

524
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in America right now with at least fifteen hundred

525
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: passing yards and five hundred rushing yards. LSU last night

526
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: against Bama averaged five point six yards per play. That's

527
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: a solid yard above what Bama's defense had been giving

528
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: up on average per game. And you're getting Bama off

529
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: the bye week, and sure you're coming off your bye

530
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: week too, but you expect to get the full force

531
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: whatever that is of Alabama this year. You expect to

532
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: get it. I got a padlock stat for you. I

533
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: didn't think LSU was gonna be able to run the ball.

534
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: In fact, I didn't think this was a good matchup

535
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: for them at all. I'm not dancing around this. I

536
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna get run. Truthfully, thought they were

537
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: gonna get run. And there was no uh oh moment

538
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: for me on this one. I never saw it coming

539
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: until it until it happened, I almost got myself with

540
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: an immunity there. One eighty five to one thirty seven

541
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: is your padlock stat. Those were the respective rushing statistics here,

542
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: and the team that amassed one to eighty five was

543
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: the team there in Purple. That's amazing. It's amazing, and

544
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: I didn't expect it. Of course. The leading rusher was

545
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels. Those yards count, those points count, especially when

546
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: they come in overtime. You fight, and you fight and

547
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: you fight. And I was listening to this on the radio.

548
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: I was listening to the LSU radio call. Those guys

549
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: nailed it last night, by the way, And so you

550
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: can imagine my feeling as I'm sitting in gridlock traffic

551
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: somewhere between Athens and Atlanta, and I'm thinking, multiple times,

552
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: Bama's gonna answer here. I mean, surely this is gonna

553
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: be another one of those games where I'm gonna be

554
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: sitting on air Sunday night and I'm gonna be talking

555
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: about how they squeaked through and they just barely got

556
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: by one more time and LSU answer, answer, answer. There

557
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: were like half a dozen lead changes in the second half.

558
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: Imagine how Blessed Fowler and Herbstreet must have felt down

559
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: there in Baton Rouge because ESPN didn't have the first

560
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: pick here. The first pick obviously went to CBS, and

561
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: they took number one versus number two, as they should.

562
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: And so there's Herbie and Fowler down there, and they

563
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: just got an instant classic unfolding before their very eyes.

564
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: I I think sometimes when teams upset Alabama. The default

565
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: I've been guilty of this is to ask what happened

566
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: to Alabama? Sometimes you get beat LSU beat Alabama last night.

567
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: You can talk about self inflicted whatever all you want to.

568
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: They didn't lose to air guys. And what you're starting

569
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: to see, maybe with a little bit of a fast

570
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: forward button effect, is you're starting to see the Brian

571
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: Kelly effect on this program. The Brian Kelly effect already

572
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: becoming very clear at LSU. I don't want to be

573
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: hyperbolic here. I don't want to get ahead of the curve.

574
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: They are a two point favorite against Arkansas this week.

575
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: They could lose this week. It wouldn't change what you

576
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: saw yesterday. It wouldn't change what's happening off the field.

577
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: There's ample evidence that Brian Kelly is building a long

578
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: term winning culture there. Let's talk about, by the way,

579
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: that winning culture. You know, the thing that people said

580
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be a fit with. Brian Kelly didn't get

581
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: Louisiana culture. Here's LSU culture. Here's Louisiana culture. You put

582
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: together an excellent staff, you be well on your way

583
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: to landing a top five class in your first year

584
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: on the job, you embrace your personality, you even have

585
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: a little fun with it, and don't I don't care

586
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: for a second whether anyone's laughing at you on the outside.

587
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: You get Bama on the ropes the first chance you got,

588
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: and you go for their throat and you beat them

589
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: at home, and then you storm the field and pay

590
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: a quarter million dollar fine because of it. If you

591
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: do that, you can talk in any accent and you want.

592
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: Because that's foolishness, that's nonsense. That stuff doesn't matter. It

593
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: never mattered. That has nothing to do with the formula

594
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: for winning. The formula for winning is the same everywhere, guys.

595
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: The formula for winning is the same in South Bend

596
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: as it is in Los Angeles, as it is in Miami,

597
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: and everywhere in between, and also in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

598
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: They've got it. There was never a mystery here in

599
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: a litany, in a long line of dumb things said

600
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: to pass the time in the spring and summer, one

601
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: of the dumbest was because of the accent this guy uses,

602
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: and because he doesn't like this or doesn't feel like that,

603
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: he's not going to be a fit at lsu I.

604
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: I that was me I was speechless. I remember talking

605
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: about it several times. So you notice those people who

606
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: know where to be found, they have morphed into crickets

607
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: now and LSU's got a really good team even in

608
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: year one. I want to remind you this is the

609
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: same group that took thirty nine scholarship players to their

610
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: bowl game last year. Shouldn't be happening this quick, and

611
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe it is a little ahead of schedule, so there's

612
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: no guarantee week to week here right now, but I

613
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: can tell you they just took down their biggest rival

614
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: in year one. That's what they did. And they control

615
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: their own destiny in November. That's another thing that they're

616
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: doing now. They, as I said, go to Arkansas this week.

617
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: They're favored by two. They've got a date against A

618
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: and M. Colin. Can I see their schedule right quick?

619
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: LSU's schedule, I should have it memorized because it's only

620
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: like three games. I think they got UAB maybe in

621
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: there somewhere. So they've got Arkansas this week, there it is,

622
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: and then they've got UAB at home and then they

623
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: go to Texas A and M. So two of their

624
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: final three. Both of the conference games are on the road,

625
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: a lot of energy around that program. Everything you needed

626
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: to sell anyone on the fence has been accomplished. I'm

627
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: not just talking about fans. There are a lot of

628
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: kids out there that, if all things were equal, would

629
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: love to play for LSU. You know that, and I

630
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: know that there are a lot of kids out there

631
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: that look around and say, I'd really like to play

632
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: at LSU. It's just that recently, if you're a top

633
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: level kid and you got offers from the other major programs,

634
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to justify in your mind going to LSU

635
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: because you don't think you're giving yourself the same kind

636
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: of opportunity that you're giving yourself if you go to

637
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: other places. That's changing really quickly. It's not an overnight thing.

638
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: Contrary to what this year may try and teach you,

639
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: it's not an overnight thing. But they're very quickly showing kids.

640
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: Imagine watching that last night and being on the fence.

641
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: You're not on the fence anymore. You want to go

642
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: to LSU. You're going to LSU now. I'm sure the

643
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: official visitors list was incredible last night, and I'm sure

644
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: they had a lot of kids that maybe didn't make

645
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: the trip that watched on TV that regret not making

646
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: the trip, and they got to get staff down there too,

647
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: So Brian Kelly, I think a lot of folks also

648
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: quietly questioned what kind of staff he could put together.

649
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: It's one of the biggest bits of feedback I got

650
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: from the industry when LSU hired him. People kept telling me,

651
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, he hasn't been many places, so he doesn't

652
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: have the kind of network that he can go out

653
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: and pull from when putting together a staff that some

654
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: coaches do. I think they're doing okay, So congrats to LSU.

655
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: I gotta get them right back. Strangely, I think they'll

656
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: be okay. This week doesn't guarantee you win. They're deep

657
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: enough in the season, and I think they're focused enough

658
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: where I don't think there'll be a massive hangover effect here.

659
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: There should be, I don't think there will be. If

660
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: you're watching the live show, which everyone tuned in right

661
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: now is and I appreciate you guys. By the way,

662
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: it's the most viewed show we've ever had live. So

663
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: if you could please click that thumbs up button there

664
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: and subscribe to the channel and donate. No, I'm just playing.

665
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: We don't need any money. Here's what I'm gonna do, though,

666
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: I thought it was necessary to split this segment into

667
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: an LSU portion and an Alabama portion. So that's why

668
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: you didn't hear a lot Obama there. You're about to

669
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: hear a little Bama here. Let me take a sip

670
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: from the chalice of choice liquid named by you, not me.

671
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: We went with a very light violet tonight. Hmm, interesting

672
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: choice by the staff. I just sip it. I don't

673
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: control it. So anyway, if you're watching the live show,

674
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 1: you're listening to the podcast, this part right here will

675
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: end up being put up on the channel by director

676
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: Colin as just an Alabama video. So if you're wondering

677
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: why that is, that's why that is Alabama falling to

678
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: LSU thirty three to thirty two. I'm gonna say something here,

679
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: and I've almost said it a few times, but I haven't.

680
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: I've resisted. I'm not gonna resist anymore. I don't really

681
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: recognize Alabama right now. I think a lot of the

682
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: fan base feels the same way. Everybody who's observed the

683
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: program over the years feels the same way. I think

684
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 1: the head coach there feels the same way. You may

685
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: not believe that, But unlike you, he can't just bail

686
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,479
Speaker 1: in the middle of the year. Unlike you, he can't

687
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: run to the nearest message board and fire half his

688
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: staff in the middle of the year. It's coming, It's coming.

689
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: A lot of changes are coming there, Bruce Hornsby, one

690
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: of his best song titles, that was an underappreciated song,

691
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: is going to be some changes made. I think they

692
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: will be. Let's paper pop that. Actually, that's like our

693
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: version of an amen from the third PU there. The

694
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: SEC Championship Game kind of messed up my vision on

695
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: this team. This program. Really, the SEC Championship Game, I

696
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: think messed up a lot of our perspectives on this

697
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: team because if you remove nothing more than just that

698
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: one four quarter example in Atlanta last year, what do

699
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: you have over the past two years. I was talking

700
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: to Tim Watts on the way home last night, a

701
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: guy that a lot of times I just used to

702
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: stay awake when I have to drive, and he'll make

703
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: you stay awake. I can promise you that. And I

704
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: was asking him some questions, and he was asking me

705
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: some questions. He said, think about these last two years.

706
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: And I had to write it down because it's a

707
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: long list. At Florida last year they won by two points.

708
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: At A and M. They lost by three points the

709
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: LSU game last year. LSU was awful. Last year they

710
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: beat him by six points. At Auburn overtime they won

711
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: by two points, and then a title game they lost

712
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns to Georgia. This year Texas game, they

713
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: won by one. They win by four against A and M.

714
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: They go to Tennessee and lose by three. They lose

715
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: yesterday by one. That's not the profile of a dominant program.

716
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: They're Alabama in name only right now. But my point

717
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: in enlisting those games is not to pile on. My

718
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: point is to reiterate this is not a new thing.

719
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: And I was talking to Watts and he said, you

720
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: know what's interesting is have you had fun watching that

721
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: team lately? And I thought to myself, I get what

722
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: you're saying there. Like, if I'm a Bama fan and

723
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at that team the past couple of years,

724
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: it's one thing if you get beat. I remember they

725
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: are teams in the mid twenty teams, that team that

726
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: lost to Clemson in twenty sixteen. I will still maintain

727
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: is one of the best teams I've seen Nick Saban have.

728
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: It's just that Deshaun Watson was that good and Dabo

729
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: put together an effort. His team put together an effort

730
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: in the title game that was that good. But that

731
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: team was a thrill to watch and to be around.

732
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: I was covering them in local news down in Columbus

733
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: at the time. Just an awesome collection of talent, awesome

734
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: collection of guys. That Alabama team would dog walk this

735
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: Alabama team and then stand over them and dare them

736
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: to get up and do anything because they had an

737
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,479
Speaker 1: identity about themselves. This team doesn't have really the last

738
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: two years teams they just hadn't had that. And you

739
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: can attribute a number of different things to be the

740
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: reason for that. But there's just this little chalk outline

741
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: on the ground right now where Obama used to be.

742
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: Because that right there, what we're watching. That's not at

743
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: least when they talk about the Bama standard, that's not

744
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: the Bama standard. Bryce Young was not great in this

745
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: game yesterday, but I'm not about to heap any blame

746
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: at that dude's feet because he's been carrying that team

747
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: all year. He is the reason they have a shot

748
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: in these games. It's wild when you watch them and

749
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: you look at how much of their offensive production comes

750
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: on broken plays, meaning it has nothing to do with

751
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: the play that was called. It's the athlete that's holding

752
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: the football and he's just better than everybody else. The

753
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: offensive line was bad. I thought in this game, Bryce

754
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: ended up being twenty five or fifty one. It was

755
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: a forty nine percent completion. Guy. It's the worst night

756
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: of his career statistically. They've lost multiple games before the

757
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: Iron Bowl now for the first time since twenty ten.

758
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: So anyway, everybody watched the game, You've all got your

759
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: takes on that. What's gonna happen here? Obviously they're not

760
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: just going to continue on this trajectory. If they did that,

761
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: Nick Saban might as well just walk away from the

762
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: sport because he's certainly not one to sit around and

763
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: tolerate that sort of thing. I can one hundred percent

764
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: guarantee you staff changes are coming here, one hundred percent.

765
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: They can't come before the end of the season. Anybody

766
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: wanting heads to roll on Monday morning. That's not the

767
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: way it works, guys. You know that. But I can

768
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: guarantee you moves are coming. Several moves are coming. They'll

769
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: be the dump. There'll be a dump button hit on

770
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: a lot of this Alabama staff. And the reason I

771
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: know that and the reason you can know it is

772
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: publicly available. I would suggest you go back and watch

773
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's postgame press conference last night, because he did

774
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: something that I thought was very telling. Even after he

775
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: talked about how poorly they played, he talked about how

776
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: much this team is underachieved. Those are my words, I'm

777
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: paraphrasing him. He made sure to mention that I appreciate

778
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: the team playing hard. I like this team. And what

779
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: he was doing, in my not so humble opinion, is

780
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: he was telegraphing to everyone that they failed. The team,

781
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: his coaching staff, which starts with him, They have failed

782
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: that locker room. And what I think he's sitting there

783
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: honestly saying to folks is look, the job we've done here,

784
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: or the lack thereof, has put them in this position.

785
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: He's done this a couple of times. He's made sure

786
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: to defend the players, and he always does that, but

787
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: there's a specific way he's done it this year that

788
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: screams to me he thinks they've failed as a staff,

789
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want the blame to be placed on

790
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: the players, and he'll take care of the staff once

791
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: the season's over. But he's telling anyone who's listening and

792
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: has been around him for a long time, it's on us.

793
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: It's on me. Starts with me, and it's on us.

794
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: They are doing what they can do based on the

795
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: position we've putten him in. Is the way that I've

796
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: taken these comments from Nick Saban postgame, So I know

797
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: it rubbed some of you the wrong way because he

798
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: keeps on saying things and you just want him to

799
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: drop the hammer on folks. That's never gonna happen publicly.

800
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: The only time he's that demonstrative is after they win,

801
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: just like on the sideline. The only time you see

802
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: him like that's when they're winning. When they're losing, it's

803
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: all about we we wei and it starts with him

804
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: and he knows that. And I think there will be

805
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: moves made. I don't expect either of their coordinators to

806
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: be back next year. And what you learn the more

807
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: that you talk to coaches, and every week I'm in

808
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: another town, so every week I'm talking to other coaching staffs.

809
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: What you learn is how this sport really works. If

810
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: you're a casual fan, I grew up as one, My

811
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 1: view of the sport was you got the head coach.

812
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes you know the names of the coordinators. If you're

813
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: a really diehard fan, you know the names of all

814
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: your position coaches. That's like the three or four percent

815
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: of you, and I appreciate it. There is an army

816
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: of people behind the scenes in this sport that play

817
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: integral roles in whether your team wins or loses on Saturday.

818
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: And you'll never know their names, and you'll never see

819
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: them on TV, and you'll probably never even see their

820
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: bio on the internet. But there is such a ripple

821
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: effect that happens when one person moves. When a Kirby Smart,

822
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: for example, goes from being your defensive coordinator to the

823
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: head coach of another program, sure that's a big loss

824
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: for you, but you know that What you don't know

825
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: is how important. Maybe I'm speaking generically here. The two

826
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: position coaches he takes, and the four or five grad

827
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: assistants that are under them that they take with them,

828
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: and the two football operations guys, and the three recruiting

829
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: coordinators or assistance they take. These people are pivotal in

830
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: your day to day operations, your strength and conditioning, your nutrition.

831
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: You don't see these people. My point in going through

832
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: that spider web of personnel is there's always shake up

833
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: with Alabama. They have massive amounts of turnover every year

834
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: because the people they have are the most covenant people

835
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: in all the land. You never know who they are,

836
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: but it's blatantly obvious. Some combination of what Nick Saban

837
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: had underneath him that's no longer there has disrupted what

838
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: they are as a program. He hasn't forgotten how to

839
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: coach football. Two years ago he had one of the

840
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: greatest teams we've ever seen. What do you think he

841
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: got amnesia and forgot how to run a program. No,

842
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: he didn't have the same folks in the stable that

843
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 1: he had there. He doesn't have the same players, but

844
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: on paper, this is one of the most talented groups

845
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: he's ever had. You will never convince me, Oh, they

846
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: just don't have the players. They don't have the horses.

847
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah they do, Yes, I can assure you they do.

848
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 1: And so think I think changes are coming there, And look,

849
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: I think they'll come as soon as the season's over.

850
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: I think that he'll probably get it right, And some

851
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: of the dumbest talk I've heard over the past twenty

852
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: four hours is, well, this probably means Dynasty's over, their

853
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: season is over as it relates to their preseason goals.

854
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: You have no earthly idea about the trajectory of a dynasty,

855
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: because a dynasty moves at the speed of like an iceberg.

856
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: You have no clue because you can't see it move

857
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: it because it doesn't move very fast. And what it

858
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: takes to build one doesn't happen overnight, and what it

859
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: takes to tear one down doesn't happen overnight. The fact is,

860
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: you heard a lot of people on TV today that

861
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: we're fighting for your clicks and your attention, that we're

862
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 1: talking about Dynasty that would have never had that word

863
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: come out of their mouth today. If Brian Kelly's two

864
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: point conversion attempt failed, and the reality is whether it

865
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: succeeds or fails doesn't make that dude any different a

866
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: head coach. It doesn't make Brian Kelly any different ahead coach.

867
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: But I know it's result oriented. I know this is

868
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: an outcomes oriented business and world. I get all that,

869
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make the talk any less dumb. When

870
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: it happens. So Nick Saban has seen his team woefully underachieve.

871
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: His organization is woefully underachieving right now. I think you'll

872
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: get it right. I do not think he's close to

873
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: walking away. I don't think his dynasty is close to collapsing.

874
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: I do think there's significant work because here's the challenge

875
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: for him. And i'd love to if we got him

876
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: on the show and we injected truth seer him into

877
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: his neck. I would love to know. When you assess

878
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: your organization and you think you lack toughness, they're not

879
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: as tough as Georgia right now, how do you decide

880
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: the specific things or people who need to go and change,

881
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: or the specific things or people who need to come

882
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: in to change that aspect of your program. If you

883
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: guys aren't good at tackling, you just incorporate new drills

884
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: or maybe new methodology. But if you don't think your

885
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: program's focus is where it needs to be. If you

886
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: have problems chronically with penalties and you've done everything you

887
00:46:58,040 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: know how to do, how do you know what to

888
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: hit the dump button on and what to bring in?

889
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: That is one of the few reasons why that guy

890
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: gets paid a lot of money going to be an interesting,

891
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: an interesting winter in spring period there in Tuscaloosa. One

892
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: of the other outcomes that made me it's really hot

893
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: in here. I'm fan of myself because of that. But

894
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: one of the outcomes that really made me take a

895
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: second look at the board yesterday happened in South Bend, Indiana.

896
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: So Colin, here's your endpoint here. I'm on the field

897
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: there in Athens yesterday and we're wrapping up our post

898
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: game and one of my buddies, greatly dry sense of humor,

899
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: text me and he says, hey, does Academy Sports and

900
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: Outdoors sell body bags? And I was preoccupied, so I said,

901
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? He said, well, you may

902
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: want to check the Clemson score, and I looked and

903
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: it was twenty eight to nothing Notre Dame. And at

904
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: that point I knew why he wanted to know whether

905
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: Academy and Outdoors sold body bags. This was the Sarah

906
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: McLaughlin special yesterday. This was the body bagging. And it's

907
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: harsh language, but that's how we roll around here. If

908
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: you watch this game, you can only be upset that

909
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: I said it. You're not upset at what I'm saying,

910
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: because it's factual, twenty eight nothing. At one point, Notre

911
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: Dame led this Clemson's opening drive. I had stats and

912
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: Info aka producer Jesse accumulate their opening drive first and ten.

913
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: We've seen plenty of games start like that first and

914
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: sixteen penalty, second and eighteen second and twenty six penalty,

915
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: third and twenty two fourth and fourteen punt block touchdown.

916
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: Notre Dame well on their way to rolling. It was

917
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: twenty eight to nothing at one point. That's when I

918
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: saw it. There was a final of thirty five to fourteen. Here.

919
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 1: There are a lot of wild numbers in this box score,

920
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: but they're false padlock stats, cause there's really only one

921
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: padlock stat with which I want to focus our attention on.

922
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a second. Drew Pine, And

923
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: I just want you to walking up to you Friday

924
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: and asking you about the Notre Dame quarterback there if

925
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: I asked you Drew Pine, Yeah, Notre Dame quarterback? What

926
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: about him? Hush? Let me finish. Drew Pine. If he

927
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: throws for oh, let's say eighty five yards, do you

928
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: think that's going to be good enough for Notre Dame

929
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: to win? You say absolutely not give me Clemson lay

930
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: the points. Let's go. Well, Drew Pine had eighty five

931
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: total passing yards. He was nine of seventeen and Notre

932
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: Dame one convincingly for reasons I'll get to in a second.

933
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: How about Pete Sampson's tweet? Do we have that thing?

934
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: Pete Sampson covers Notre Dame for the Athletic. He put

935
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: up a tweet earlier and Jesse read it to me

936
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: and I said, don't read it again, screenshot it, put

937
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: it on the show. Listen to this if you're listening

938
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: on podcast. Notre Dame faced twelve third down conversion moments

939
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: last night against Clemson. When they ran it, Notre Dame

940
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: converted all six, including a third and ten and a

941
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: third and twelve. When it passed, Notre Dame converted zero

942
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: of six, with Drew Pine completing just one pass. The

943
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: formula became pretty clear pretty quickly. Here, didn't it? Which

944
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: arrives us at our padlock stat? Clemson defensively, here's a

945
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: little pre padlock stat for you. That defensive unit, that

946
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: defensive front there they were giving up eighty eight rushing

947
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: yards per game on average. Coming in Notre Dame hung

948
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 1: two sixty three yesterday. Their offensive line took over the game.

949
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: I didn't see it coming. I don't know if Notre

950
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: Dame fans saw that coming. I certainly didn't hear a

951
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: lot of that talk last week. But wow, and I

952
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 1: went back and watched the condensed game a little bit earlier,

953
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: just totally out of left field. Didn't expect that type

954
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: of dominant performance. I expected that struggle to throw the ball.

955
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,720
Speaker 1: But that's when I asked you the other day, having

956
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: said that where's the offense gonna come from? And it

957
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: came from a place where I just didn't think it

958
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: was possible to come from. I didn't think they could

959
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: run the ball like that on Clemson, and Wow, they did.

960
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: Dabbo afterwards was every bit of surprised as me. He

961
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: just admitted, I had no clue this was coming. We

962
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: had a great week of practice, so we went worried

963
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: when we came up here. But that shows you why

964
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: coaches are always so paranoid, because you go into games

965
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: sometimes and you see these guys and they're wound tighter

966
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: than a snare drum, and you wonder, what are you

967
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: so worried about? You should easily win this game this week. Well,

968
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: they all remember instances like this where they think they're

969
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: prepared and they're going into it and they love the

970
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: week of practice they've had and they're playing a team

971
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: they outclass and they just get whipped, and afterwards think

972
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: about how unsettling that is. It's one thing if you

973
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: know we're banged up badly and we're just not prepared

974
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: this week, it is what it is. You're not surprised

975
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: by it when you think you're prepared and you really

976
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: as a staff, think that we've done a good job

977
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 1: this week and you just get blank. You get blanked

978
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: by a team that lost to Marshall earlier this year.

979
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: That's tough. That is a tough pill to swallow, a

980
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: necessary one because with Clemson, we circle back and we

981
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: ask ourselves those coaching moves that happened this last summer.

982
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: The casuals would call it the off season, and there

983
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: may have been some casual moves made by Dabos Winny.

984
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: I far be it from me to tell the guy

985
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: how to put a staff together. But even I remember

986
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,959
Speaker 1: myself sitting here saying, that's Clemson. That job, those jobs there,

987
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: those coordinator positions, are coveted, and you didn't even so

988
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: much as leave the zip code there before you promoted

989
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: from within. You lost Brenton Venables, that is a good

990
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. You lost Tony Elliott, that's a good offensive coordinator.

991
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: And I mean, Dabo even just audaciously said, oh, it

992
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: took me about fifteen seconds. I knew we had the

993
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: guys in house. No you didn't, No you didn't. I

994
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: don't think their staff's good enough. I don't think their

995
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 1: staff measures up to a lot of the other programs

996
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: in America right now. And it's not because they have

997
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: to be in that position Davos when he elected to

998
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: be in that position. So we're talking about Nick Saban

999
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: and what he's gonna do after the season. What's Dabo

1000
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna do? Because I'm not so sure that it's just

1001
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: one loss that makes him realize, uh oh, may have

1002
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: made some booboos here. I mean, is he really going

1003
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: to elevate those guys and then look at them in

1004
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: the eye after one year and say, all right, that's

1005
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 1: all the rope I'm gonna give you. It gets really tough.

1006
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: It gets really tough to make those decisions. Notre Dame

1007
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: is six and three right now, they lost to Ohio State.

1008
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: In Week one, they lost to Marshall, they lost to Stanford.

1009
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: So you can understand my sentiment when I say this

1010
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 1: kind of came out of nowhere. They've got Navy, They've

1011
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: got Boston College, and then guess where they end the season.

1012
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: They go to Los Angeles, California November twenty sixth, Thanksgiving

1013
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: weekend and they play USC. What could be on the

1014
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: line for USC? That's a team in the fringes of

1015
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: the college football playoff conversation right now? What could be

1016
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: on the line for USC? Look, I think that it's

1017
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: equally intriguing to look at what Marcus Freeman is doing

1018
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame and what Dabo is going to have

1019
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 1: to do at Clemson because their season is not over

1020
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: it either. Look, just because they're talking about you being

1021
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: out of the college football playoff conversation, you've still got

1022
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: a conference playoff and our confence championship picture. I guess

1023
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: over there to focus on. So a lot of divergent

1024
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: questions coming out of that game. All right, let's move

1025
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: on here. There's another game. Actually, there are like five

1026
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: or six more games I want to touch on. I

1027
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 1: have no voice because you can't. You guys cannot possibly

1028
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: understand how much hoarseness and voice loss sneaks up on

1029
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: you when you're going to games every week because you

1030
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: don't realize you have to yell constantly. But you have

1031
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: to yell to be heard. So you either got two choices.

1032
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: One don't talk to anyone, in which case you look

1033
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: like a social recluse, or the other is you just

1034
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: gotta yell all afternoon and then you come back to

1035
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: Nashville try and do a show. And well, I see that, Kyle,

1036
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: I see that. Colin. Let me ask you a favor.

1037
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: If I wanted to do the Every Given Saturday Tour

1038
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: announcement right now, could I do it? Okay, Okay, let's

1039
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: do it. Thank you, Colin. The reason is because I

1040
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: timed up a tweet to be sent out, and this

1041
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: show's going longer than I thought it was. Hope, you

1042
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: guys took me over like I told you too, and

1043
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: so the tweet has already gone out. The Every Given

1044
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: Saturday Tour Week eleven destination? Jesse, did you prepare a

1045
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: photographic of showing the options that we had? He did? Okay,

1046
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 1: we got Alabama at Ole miss We've got UCF at

1047
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: TWU Lane, we got Washington, big rivalry game in Eugene

1048
00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: going to Oregon. How about TCU going to Texas? The

1049
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 1: undefeated seventh ranked Horned Frogs a touchdown underdog in Austin

1050
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: against Texas. And we got North Carolina against Wake Forest.

1051
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: Where would you go? Before I even give you the answer,

1052
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: because no one knows where we're going. Well, if you're

1053
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you do, but you should be watching the

1054
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: show right now. I don't have a drum roll effect,

1055
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: but I'm so excited to announce where we're going because

1056
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: it's historic. It's certainly a first time. We've never been

1057
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 1: to this place. The every given Saturday Tour Week eleven,

1058

Speaker 1: versus two Lane, and I for the rest of this

1060
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 1: week will answer to no name other than G five Josh.

00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: You've met Pack twelf Pate, Okay, once accused of being

00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: take in UCF and two Lane. And I've got a

1065
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: helpful stat here, and this one's gonna blow even your mind, Jesse.

1066
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: This is the first time two Lane has played in

1067
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: a matchup of ranked teams since the nineteen seventy three

1068
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: Blue Bonnet Bowl. And who could forget that one that

1069
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: was against Houston, I think. And the only reason I

1070
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: say I think that is because I found it on

1071
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: NOLA dot com, because I surely was not tuned in.

1072
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't even think Bradley's old enough to remember the

1073
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: seventy three Blue Bonnet Bowl. We are going to check

1074
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,959
Speaker 1: out Gus Malason on the road against Willie Fritz. Really

1075
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. There's no more beautiful color blue,

1076
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: in my opinion, than the color blue that two Lane

1077
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: paints their end zone in. So if I can get

1078
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: a T shirt with that little wave mascot on it

1079
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: down there, I will have accomplished everything that I want

1080
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: to accomplish in making this trip. We're looking forward to that.

1081
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: More on that throughout the week. Now let's go back

1082
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: to regularly scheduled programming. Thank you for that colin Florida

1083
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: forty one A and M twenty four Parallel Truth Game.

1084
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: We put this label on like four or five games

1085
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: a year, and this is one of them. Parallel truths,

1086
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: because I I could not tell you how many times

1087
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: already today I've had someone either tell me this is

1088
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: all about Florida or this is all about A and M.

1089
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: The Gators either rolled or A and M was without

1090
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: like forty seven kids due to the flu. Both of

1091
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: them are true. Both of them are true. Florida had

1092
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: a really good day yesterday, and it's impressive because they

1093
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: had two options. They could stay down on the mat

1094
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: after Georgia roughed them up a little bit, or they

1095
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: could get right back up, and to their credit, they did. Texas.

1096
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: A and M was without thirty one players yesterday due

1097
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: to either injury or illness or suspension. They were without

1098
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: eighteen and they're too deep. Yes, that matters. You can

1099
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: celebrate Florida's when and acknowledge that matters. I've got a

1100
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: pre padlock stat for you here, wooo pre padlock alert.

1101
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: We had a magic number in this game. We had

1102
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: I guess a pre pre padlocked stat last week for you,

1103
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: courtesy of producer Jesse. He said, remember this, He said

1104
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: to ten, that's the number you need to hammer home

1105
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: in this show too. Ten. Florida was four and oh

1106
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: coming into this game when they ran for at least

1107
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: two ten They were zero to four when they did

1108
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: not meet that mark. Florida yesterday they took care of

1109
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: it season high two hundred and ninety one yards on

1110
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: the ground Anthony Richardson, I think a career high if

1111
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaking. Two hundred seventy nine total yards, four touchdowns.

1112
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: They as a team had three guys over seventy five

1113
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: yards rushing. So what a day yesterday for Florida. They

1114
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: needed this, They needed this bad And it was a

1115
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: tale of two halves too, because see I checked the score,

1116
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: and I want to say it was twenty four to

1117
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: twenty A and M at the half, And I thought

1118
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: to myself, despite all odds to quote Phil Collins, against

1119
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: all odds, look at A and M. But here's the thing.

1120
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: When you're missing eighteen and you're too deep, you can

1121
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: sugar high your way to halftime, but ooh, you got

1122
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: a thorough flew your way to the finish line. And

1123
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: it's tough. And they couldn't do it. Yesterday. Florida outscored

1124
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: him twenty one to nothing in the second half. A

1125
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: and M had nine point three yards per play in

1126
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: the first half, two point nine in the second half.

1127
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Florida had a two to twenty nine to one oh

1128
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: six yards advantage in the second half. They had a

1129
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one to eleven rushing yards advantage

1130
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: in the second half. Here is a helpful drive chart

1131
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: courtesy of producer Jesse. This is Texas A and M

1132
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: second half, three and out, three and out, five and out,

1133
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: three and out, ten plays in a fumble, three plays

1134
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: in a fumble, turnover on downs, three and out ball game.

1135
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,479
Speaker 1: So yes, as it turns out, it's tough to play

1136
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: without like a third or a quarter of your team,

1137
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: and especially this time in the year. Texas A and

1138
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: M's fifth straight loss, first time since nineteen eighty that

1139
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: that's happened. They've got to win out now to make

1140
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: a bowl game. And they've got Auburn, and they got

1141
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: U MASS and they got LSU, and that's going to

1142
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: be a chore and quite frankly, if they can get

1143
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,439
Speaker 1: past Auburn, and they're favored by two this week, they're

1144
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: going on the road. If they can get past Auburn,

1145
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: I even I think they'll handle you Mass. The LSU

1146
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: game could be interesting because that becomes a super Bowl

1147
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: for them. You just have to recalibrate your expectations and

1148
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: your goals this time of year. If you're in their position,

1149
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: they're three and six. That is amazing to look at.

1150
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: That's very jarring. If you could ever cryogenically freeze yourself

1151
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: in the preseason and thaw yourself Austin Power's style in

1152
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: like mid November, think about how shocking in any given

1153
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: year some of these results would be. And this year

1154
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: three and six for A and M is one of

1155
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: those Florida I know is not achieving at the level

1156
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: the fan base wants to in year one. This is

1157
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: yet another sign that Billy Napier's doing some right things

1158
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: down there. I know it's happening at LSU faster than Florida,

1159
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,919
Speaker 1: and it's really tough not to cast your gaze over

1160
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: there across the Gulf at what's happening in Baton Rouge.

1161
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Forget that it's an Apples to bowling Balls comparison. Every

1162
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: program has its own unique circumstances. Florida is no different.

1163
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Interesting times, interesting year. They'll grow from it. They'll portal,

1164
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I assume they'll they'll portal pretty hard, cause everyone's going

1165
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: to and they'll be a lot better next year. I

1166
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: think they'll be a lot better product next year. Added takeaways.

1167
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I've got five more games to talk to you about.

1168
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: I've got two early best bets, and then I have

1169
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: got a very, very very important request I need to

1170
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: make to you. It's not a happy request, but I

1171
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: got to make a request to you. But first, let's

1172
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:37,919
Speaker 1: talk about some games. Yesterday, FSU drug Miami forty five

1173
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: to three, splattered them all over their own home park,

1174
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: and it didn't matter because most of the Canes fans

1175
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: were going after halftime anyway. FSU is Bowl eligible for

1176
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: the first time since twenty fifteen. We jumped on this

1177
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: game on Friday night lines it sat at seven and

1178
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: a half. I wanted to see if it came down.

1179
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: We didn't think it would matter. We thought FSU was

1180
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: totally the side to lean miss Mats. Why is here.

1181
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: That's the third largest margin of victory and the history

1182
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: of this series, forty five to three total splattering four

1183
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: point fifty four to one eighty eight. That was the

1184
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: yardage edge for the Knowles. FSU has been a team

1185
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: I've taken criticism for because they have been in the

1186
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: JP Pole. We haven't dropped them out. They've been in

1187
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: the JP pole every week, which is just our model's

1188
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: power ratings. But you keep seeing why like this, this

1189
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: performance here should be one key indication. I know, it's

1190
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: not the hardest thing in the world to do to

1191
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: beat Miami right now, but Florida State's a good team

1192
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: and it illustrates why they continue to hang around. There's

1193
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: there are things, there are characteristics about teams that that

1194
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: model picks up on, and it's right more times than not,

1195
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: and it's right about Florida State. That's one of the

1196
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: twenty best teams in the country right now, and they're

1197
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: six and three and they can win the ACC. They

1198
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: very welcome win the ACC. Just keep an eye on them.

1199
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Next up, this one, this one got me a little bit.

1200
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 1: It Liberty beat Arkansas yesterday twenty one to nineteen. Is

1201
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: there a padlocked stat Yeah, yeah, there absolutely is. The

1202
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: number is fourteen and that is how many tackles for loss.

1203
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: The Liberty Flames, not exactly known for their defensive prowess,

1204
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: historically recorded against Arkansas yesterday, Arkansas's first four drives minus

1205
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: sixteen yards. I think that comes courtesy of Trey Biddy

1206
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: over at Hogsports Dot com This was a job interview

1207
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: for Hugh Freeze. There was no doubt about that going in.

1208
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: There was certainly no doubt about it afterwards. Do we

1209
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: have the quote Jesse? I forgot if we made that. Yeah.

1210
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: So Freeze talked to Brandon Marcelo after the game. Listen

1211
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: to this. Is this not awkward if you're a Liberty fan?

1212
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: By the way, this is a quote out of the

1213
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: mouth of Hugh Freeze. I don't know that Arburn wants me.

1214
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: I have no clue. I know this. I've won everywhere

1215
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: I've been, and my staff and kids turn programs fast.

1216
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: It's our culture that we instill. I know we do that,

1217
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: and the proof is in the pudding. I don't disagree

1218
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: with a word he just said. I wouldn't have a

1219
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: single problem hiring the guy. A lot of you do.

1220
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: I want to win football games. I'm not running a

1221
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: boy scout camp over here, and so I look at

1222
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: this a little different. But you run your program however

1223
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: you want to. Everything he said there is right. It

1224
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: just kind of took me back a little bit that

1225
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: he was willing to say it out loud most of

1226
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: the time. The way this happens. Let me give you

1227
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: a little peek behind the curtain. I'm not speaking about

1228
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze right now. I'm saying in a very generic fashion,

1229
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: if a guy wants to get out the way they

1230
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: do it with me is they start either calling me

1231
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: or texting me, and they start explaining their plight, and

1232
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: they know it's all off the record, and they understand

1233
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: we got a big platform here, and they understand that

1234
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: sometimes these platforms can sway the thinking of decision makers

1235
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: at certain universes, and so they'll try and kind of

1236
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: grease the skids a little bit, and they'll get some

1237
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: traction behind the idea that they should be included in

1238
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: a coaching search. Blah blah blah. That's the way it

1239
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: normally works. The way it usually doesn't work is having

1240
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Hugh Freeze say pretty much, excuse me,

1241
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm over here. I just want again I can do

1242
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: it for you. But congratulations to him. I mean, that's

1243
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,919
Speaker 1: a big win there. And Malik Willis, you know, Jesse

1244
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: made a good point earlier. Malik Willis is starting in

1245
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. A lot of people thought he

1246
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: was the reason Liberty was winning. Turns out they're eight

1247
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: and one even after Malik Willis, they go to Yukon,

1248
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, and New Mexico State to close out the year.

1249
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State played a game yesterday. So many people were

1250
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: wrong about I don't mean prediction. I mean if you

1251
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: didn't watch this, the score makes no sense to you.

1252
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: If you watch the game, the score makes total sense

1253
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 1: to you. Every now and then, we have a weather

1254
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: based outcome, and this was a weather based outcome, and

1255
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: that's all it was. Twenty one to seven was the final.

1256
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State beat Northwestern. They played in tropical storm forced wins, literally,

1257
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: and it made them incapable of operating their offense. And

1258
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: I saw some just dead beat casual takes yesterday that said,

1259
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: well you should be able to adjust. There's no adjustment, man,

1260
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: did you hear what I said. I didn't say tropical

1261
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: I said tropical storm force wins. There's nothing. There's no

1262
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: offense that you would want for your team. Let me

1263
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: put it that win, there is no offense that you

1264
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: would want your team to adopt that could adapt to

1265
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: forty mile an hour wins doesn't happen, And so you

1266
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: just c J. Strautt had to run the ball yesterday,

1267
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: and he hates running the ball, and he had to

1268
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: run the ball yesterday. My point is you can. You

1269
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: can say that if you want to, if you're just

1270
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 1: out to criticize, if you're just out to run your mouth, yes,

1271
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: go ahead and say, well, they should have just adjusted.

1272
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: If you live in the real world the rest of us,

1273
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: and you understand that the Big ten championship games played indoors,

1274
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs have played indoors. The national championships either indoors

1275
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: or it's in a place where it's seventy two degrees

1276
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: year round. You don't ever have to worry about that.

1277
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: You may have to worry about an in conference play.

1278
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: That's the risk you take. But the trade off is

1279
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: you get the elite athletes. They get you got to

1280
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 1: run the kind of offense where you can throw a ball,

1281
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,839
Speaker 1: and if you can't throw the ball in those conditions,

1282
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: don't worry. It's Northwestern. You can lean on them and win.

1283
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: That's the only takeaway. There is no deep dive into

1284
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: this game. Weather mattered yesterday and they won't play in

1285
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: those conditions again this year. I can virtually guarantee that,

1286
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: virtually guarantee that. Moving on, Texas, how's Texas favored how

1287
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: are they favored. Well, they're favored because they are a

1288
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: better team than Kansas State. Believe it or not, this

1289
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: is I want you to pretend this is me talking

1290
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: to you on Friday. I was chatting with some people

1291
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: close to the Texas program last week, and even they

1292
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: were a little perplexed. We're favored by three, three and

1293
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 1: a half on the road against the same Kansas State

1294
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: team that just beat Oklahoma State forty eight to nothing. No,

1295
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: that's not true. You were favored against Kansas State, and

1296
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: it's true Kansas State won forty eight to nothing the

1297
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 1: week before. You don't play the same team that fill

1298
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: in the blank. Ever, you don't play the same team

1299
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 1: because those teams are good for one week. You get

1300
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: twelve versions of teams. That's what you get. So the

1301
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: version Texas got yesterday was a team that started out

1302
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: nothing to nothing. They didn't carry forty eight points with

1303
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: them into the game, and they proceeded to win, and

1304
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: they proceeded to get up big thirty one to ten

1305
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: at the half. Problem is, that's about where the good

1306
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: news ends offensively for Texas too often, So they got

1307
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: outscored seventeen to three in the second half. Fortunately they

1308
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: built an early enough lead, and the big enough lead

1309
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: bejeonn Robinson. I had one hundred and sixty one yards

1310
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 1: a touchdown at the half. By the way, those aren't

1311
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: his total yardage accumulations. This is a big, big week

1312
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,639
Speaker 1: out there, big week. Texas six and three right now.

1313
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 1: They got TCU this week. And for all of you

1314
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: who look at the JP poll and cuss me up

1315
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: and down, because we got Texas power rated, and I

1316
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 1: tell you, the only thing that thing's based on is

1317
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 1: who would be favored against two. Texas was favored against

1318
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 1: Kansas State yesterday. They are favored by a touchdown against

1319
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: TCU this week. The losses don't matter in that world. Now,

1320
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve standings, you'll notice they're three games

1321
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: behind TCU. Why because they've lost. They're two games behind

1322
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 1: in the conference standing. So they're two games behind because

1323
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: they've lost. But in power rating world, in odds making world,

1324
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: they don't really care about that so much. Let's also

1325
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 1: talk about the other end of this Big twelve spider

1326
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: web of a conference race. Baylor beat Oklahoma thirty eight

1327
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: to thirty five and Oklahoma minus two turnovers. Here's a

1328
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: little padlock stat for you. Imagine no on this Friday,

1329
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: Dylan Garret quarterback there for Oklahoma. He had thrown one

1330
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: pick all year. All year, he threw three in the

1331
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: first half yesterday. It's a bad look. Put you behind

1332
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: the eight ball. Baylor gets one hundred and thirty two

1333
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: passing yards. They were the Big Twelve equivalent essentially of

1334
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: what we saw elsewhere in the country. Yesterday they get

1335
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty two passing yards and they still win.

1336
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: And here's what's fun about Baylor. If you'll Colin and

1337
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: I messed you up again because I was about to

1338
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: call for their schedule. So if you'll look at Baylor's schedule,

1339
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: and there's no easy way to do it, we just

1340
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: got to dump out of the b roll. Baylor's in

1341
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: an interesting position right now. They're the Big Twelve champion

1342
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: last year. I think some people have written them off,

1343
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: but they're still in this They're still right there. They

1344
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: have got a six and three record. But here's the

1345
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: fun part. Kansas State and TCU and Baylor in Texas,

1346
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: and those are the teams still in this conference race.

1347
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: Baylor's final three games Kansas this week, TCU next week,

1348
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: and Texas in Austin the week after that, they could

1349
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: still do it. They can still hand out those losses.

1350
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 1: They could still get themselves back in the conference championship game. Selfishly,

1351
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: I hope for that because I kind of picked them

1352
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: to repeat and I never gave up, and I'm not

1353
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: going to give up this late because I'm too prideful

1354
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: to do that, at least when it comes to my predictions.

1355
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,719
Speaker 1: So go Bears is what I'm trying to tell you. Okay,

1356
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: I got two things to get to here, really quick

1357
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: best bets early best bets for the week, and then

1358
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 1: I've got something that is a whole lot different to

1359
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: end the show with. We got two early best bets.

1360
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: I sincerely regret that we weren't on Penn State yesterday.

1361
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: The Model had. I was telling Jesse the Model had

1362
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 1: five games that were rated sixty percent or higher that

1363
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: I didn't move on yesterday. They went five, and oh,

1364
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: Penn State was one of them. So we're gonna roll

1365
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 1: on Penn State early this week. They played Maryland. We

1366
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: bet against Maryland yesterday and it worked for us. We're

1367
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna bet against them this week again. We love Penn

1368
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: State minus twelve. We think that number should be sixteen.

1369
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: So Penn State minus twelve is one. Why leave the

1370
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: Keystone State that's a battleground state this Tuesday in the election.

1371
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: We don't have to wait till the election. We're doing

1372
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: it right now. We're taking Pitt and we're gonna lay

1373
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,600
Speaker 1: four points. They're going to Virginia. Rule number one on

1374
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: our show, don't lose to food and I don't even

1375
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: know who Rice plays this week. Rule number two, Bet

1376
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: against Virginia whenever you can this year because it's been

1377
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: profitable for us. Pitt minus four on the road against Virginia.

1378
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Those are our two best bets. We'll be loaded up

1379
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: again this week because I have several more games that

1380
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: we like. I got some horrific news to end the

1381
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 1: show with. It's not a joke, it really is horrific.

1382
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: About three weeks ago to a month ago, remember we

1383
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 1: did the show in Tuscaloosa. It was A and M

1384
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: versus Bama week and we were at Rounders there right

1385
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: on the strip and they were nice enough to open

1386
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 1: their doors and they let us do a broadcast big game.

1387
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: Dane was there, Greg Gelber was there. Even Nick Bourne

1388
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: made his way out. I met so many people before

1389
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: during and after that show, and we had hundreds of

1390
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: you there, and I stayed afterwards for it felt like

1391
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: an hour and took pictures and shook hands and met folks.

1392
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 1: Loved doing that because you're the reason that the show exists.

1393
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,919
Speaker 1: I got a text, well, I got a DM Friday.

1394
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: That's when I opened it, and I found out that

1395
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: one of our viewers, I mean one of our die

1396
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 1: hard viewers that I met there passed away over the

1397
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: last week unexpectedly. And that's Jude right there. So you

1398
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: see him in the picture if you're watching on YouTube,

1399
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: that's him over there on the far left, Big Game

1400
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: Danes hovering in the background, by the way, and he

1401
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 1: passed away in his dorm room unexpectedly. They need some

1402
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 1: help from us, so we're going to help them. They

1403
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:51,560
Speaker 1: have already raised about five thousand dollars for his funeral expenses.

1404
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:53,640
Speaker 1: We're going to take care of the rest of it

1405
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:57,440
Speaker 1: for him as an audience, and so I would appreciate

1406
01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:59,599
Speaker 1: you guys. If you'll look in the chat over here,

1407
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: I just posted the link to this GoFundMe. Jesse will

1408
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: post it in there a couple of times. But also

1409
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: if you're watching the replay. If you look in the

1410
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: show description, there's a link there. I would appreciate any

1411
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: of you who can help out with that. Ten dollars,

1412
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 1: twenty dollars, whatever you want to donate, Please help out

1413
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: with that, because that really really got my weekend off

1414
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 1: to a bad start. I'm not speaking selfishly. I'm just

1415
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 1: it was really kind of jarring because I just I

1416
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: met the kid three weeks ago, four weeks ago, and

1417
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 1: so his family's in need right now, and I want

1418
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: us to help him. And every time that I've ever

1419
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: asked you guys to help out in this way, you've

1420
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 1: come through before even the next show is on air.

1421
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: So I fully expect that to be paid in full

1422
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: before our next show airs. And I'm going to tell

1423
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 1: you I appreciated it advance, and I know his family

1424
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: will appreciate it great much. So that's our show for tonight.

1425
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:53,479
